A  Startling  Memory  Feat 
That^u  GanDo 


How   I   lesu-ned   the    secret    in  one 
evening.   It  has  helped  me  erery  day 


WHEN  my  old  friend  Faulkner  invited 
me  to  a  dinner  part}'  at  his  house.  1 
little  thought  it  would  be  the  direct 
means  of  getting  me  a  one-hundred-and-fifty 
per  cent,  increase  in  salar>'.  Yet  it  was,  and 
here  is  the  way  it  all  came  about. 

Toward  the  close  of  the  evening  things  began 
to  drag  a  bit.  as  they  often  do  at  parties.  Fi- 
nally some  one  suggested  the  old  idea  of  having 
everyone  do  a  "sttmt."  Some  sang,  others 
forced  weird  sounds  out  of  the  piano,  recited, 
told  stories,  and  so  on. 

Then  it  came  to  Macdonald's  turn.  He  ^vas 
a  quiet  sort  of  chap,  with  an  air  about  him  that 
reminded  one  of  the  old  sa)ing  that  "still  waters 
run  deep."  He  said  he  had  a  simple  "stunt" 
which  he  hoped  we  would  like.  He  selected  me 
to  assist  him.  First  he  asked  to  be  blindfolded 
securely  to  prove  there  was  no  trickery  in  it. 
Those  present  were  to  call  out  twenty-five 
numbers  of  three  figures  each,  such  as  161.  249. 
and  so  on.  He  asked  me  to  write  down  the  num- 
bers as  they  were  called. 

This  was  done.  Macdonald  then  astounded 
everyone  by  repeating  the  entire  list  of  twenty- 
five  numbers  backwards  and  forwards.  Then 
he  asked  people  to  request  numbers  by  posi- 
tions, such  as  the  eighth  number  called,  the 
fourUj  number,  and  so  on.  Instantly  he  repeated 
back  the  exact  number  in  the  position  called. 
He  did  this  with  the  entire  list — over  and  over 
again,  without  making  a  single  mistake. 

Then  Macdonald  asked  that  a  deck  of  cards 
be  shuffled  and  called  oijt  to  him  in  their  order. 
This  was  done.  Still  blindfolded,  he  instantly 
named  the  cards  in  their  order  backwards  and 
forwards.  And  then  to  further  amaze  us,  he 
gave  us  the  number  of  any  card  counting  from 
3ie  top,  or  the  card  for 
any  number. 

You  may  well  imagine 
our  amazement  at  Mac- 
donald's remarkable  feat. 
You  naturally  expect  to 
see  a  thing  of  this  sort 
on  the  stage,  and  even 
then  you  look  upon  it  as 
a  trick.  But  to  see  it 
done  by  an  evervday 
business  man.  in  plain 
view  of  everyone,  blind- 
folded and  under  con- 
ditions which  make  trick- 
ery impossible,  is  aston- 
ishing, to  say  the  least. 

ON  the  way  home 
that  night  I  asked 
Macdonald  how  it  was 
done.  He  said  there 
was  really  nothing  to  it 
—  simply  a  memory 
feat,  the  key  to  which 
anyone  could  easily  learn  m  one  evemng.  Ihen 
he  told  me  that  the  reason  most  people  have  bad 
memories  is  because  they  leave  memory  develop- 
ment to  chance.  Anyone  could  do  what  he  had 
done,  and  develop  a  good  memory,  he  ^id,  by 
following  a  few  simple  rules. 
told  me  exactly  how  to  do  it.

of  the   most  eventful  in  my  life,  but  such   tt 

"'what'^Iacdonald  told  me  I  took  }o^"'^ 
In  one  evemng  I  made  remarkable  stndes  t<^ 
ward  improving  my  memory  and  it  was  but  a 
miestion  of  da*  before  I  learned  to  do  exacth^ 
what  he  had  done.  At  first  I  «n»*edmyself 
with  my  new-found  ability  by  amazing  people  at 

(Three) 


parties,  ^f^  "memorv- 
feat."  as  my  frieiuU 
called  it,  snrel)'  made 
a  hit.  Every  one  was 
talking  about  it.  and  1 
was  showered  with  in- 
vitations for  all  sorts 
of  affairs.  If  anyone 
were  to  ask  me  how 
quickly  to  develop  so- 
cial popularity,  I  would 
tell  him  to  leam  my 
memory  "feat"  —  but 
that  is  apart  from  what 
I  want  to  tell  you. 

The  most  gratifying  thing 
about  the  improvement  of 
my  memory  was  the  re- 
markable way  it  helped  me 
in  business.  Much  to  my 
surprise  I  discovered  that 
my  memory  training  had 
literally  put  a  razor  edge 
on  my  brain.  My  brain 
had  become  clearer,  quick- 
er, keener,  1  felt  that  I 
was  fast  acquiring  that 
mental  grasp  and  alertness 
I  had  so  often  admired  in 
men  who  were  spoken  of  as 
"wonders"  and  "geniuses." 

The  next  thing  I  noticed 
was  a  marked  improvement 
in  my  conversational  pow- 
ers. Formerly  my  talk  was  .  ,  ,^„  |,is  „,„,  Sashes  to  my  mind,  together  with  a 
halting  and  disconnected.  I  never  '°"'''  '"'""."j  string  of  facts  about  him.  1  always  NkeS  to  read  hot 
things  to  say  until  the  conversation  »>"  ""V;  /*"„^  „,„all,  forget  most  of  it.  Now  I  find  it  easy  to  recall

apt  and  sinking  thing.  I  .  ""C'"^",' ,~  talking  I  <:»n  now  master  a  subject  in  considerably  less  Ume  than

WHETHER  you  attend  a  million-dollar  palace  of  the 
screen  in  the  hig  dty,  or  a  tiny  hall  in  a  backwoods 
hamlet,  you  will  find  that  it  is  always  the  best  and  most

Paramount  Artcraft  Pictures. 

It  does  not  matter  whether  you  arrive  in  a  limousine,  a  jitney, 
on  trolley  or  afoot,  you  are  immediately  taken  out  of  yourself 
by  these  great  pictures  which  delight  so  many  thousands  of 
audiences  every  day  in  the  week. 

Human  nature  has  deep-down  similarities  wherever  you  find

THE  GIRL  ON  THE  COVER 

(Painled  by  Leo  Strike,  Jr.,  from  a  photograph  by  Campbell 
Sludioi.) 
Probably  no  player  who  has  yet  graced  the  silversheet  has 
ever  received  the  vast  publicity  campaign  accorded  Marion 
Davies,  the  star  of  International  pictures. 

Miss  Davies,  it  will  be  recalled,  was  very  well  known  on 
the  musical  comedy  stage  before  she  invaded  the  celluloid 
world  with  "Runaway  Romany."    Widely  known  as  a  footlight  beauty.  Miss 
Davies  proved  to  be  a  remarkable  Camera  beauty,  as  welL     She  has  been 
steadily  developing  in  the  61ms.

I7SJ7 5-177  I>uffl«U  St.  Bnkoklrn.  N.Y. 


I  ^jfor. — Fay  Bainter  in  "East  U  West."  The 
I  story  of  a  quaint  little  Chinese  maid  who  falls 
in  love  with  a  30ung  American.  Racial  bar- 
riers seem  insurmountable,  but  there  is  a  hap- 
I  py  and  surprising  ending.  Has  all  the  ingredi- 
I  cnts  of  popular  drama.  Miss  Bainter  is  pic- 
I  turesqucly  pleasing. 

I       Century. — "Aphrodite."     Highly  colored  and 
lavish    presentation    of    a    drama    based    upon 
Pierre  Louys'  exotic  novel  of  ancient  Alexan- 
dria.    Superbly  staged  adaptation  of  the  play 
[  that    cau.sed    a    sensation    in    Paris.      Dorothy 
I  Dalton,  the  screen  star,  returns  to  the  sUge  in 
I  the  principal    role  of  the  Galilean  courtesan. 
I  Chrvsis.    and    scores.     McKay    Morris    is   ad- 
!  mirable  in  the  principal  male  role.    The  ballet, 
directed    by    Michel    Fokine,    is    spirited    and 
colorful. 

Cohan  and  Harris.— "The  Royal  Vagabond  " 
A  Cohanizrd  opera  comique  in  every  sense  of 
the  words.  A  tuneful  operetta  pins  Cohan 
?peed.  pep  and  brash  American  humor.  .\lso 
tinkling  music  And  a  corking  cast,  with  Grace 
llsher,  Tessa  Kosta,  John  Goldsworthy  and 
Frederick  Santley. 

Cosmo.— "The  Little  WTiopper."  Lively  and 
amusing  musical  comedv  with  tuneful  score  by 
Rudolf  Friml.  Vi^enne  Segal  pleasantly 
heads  the  cast,  which  also  numbers  Harry  C. 
Browne,  who  does  excellent  work,  Mildred 
Richardson,  and  W.  J.  Ferguson. 

Comedy.— "Uy  Lady  Friends."  Highly 
amusing  entertainment  adopted  from  a  Conti- 
nental farce.  Much  of  the  humor  is  due  to  the 
able  work  of  Qifton  Crawford  in  the  role  o£ 
a  guileless  young  manufacturer  of  Bibles 
whose  efforts  to  spend  money  get  him  into  all 
sorts  of  difficulties.  June  Walker  scores  in 
Mr.  Crawford's  support 

Eltingc— "The  Girl  in  the  Limousine."  A 
daring,  boudoir  farce,  by  Wilson  CoUison  and 
Avery  Hopkins,  centering  about  a  bed,  which 
is  invaded  by  every  member  of  the  cast  during 
the  evening.  John  Cumberland  is  very  amus- 
ing, and  prett>'  Doris  Kenyon,  fresh  from  the 
screen,  lends  every  aid. 

George  M.  Colian's. — Elsie  Janis  and  her 
gang.  Lively  entertainment  built  about  the 
experiences  of  the  A.  E.  F.  on  the  other  side. 
Well  put  together  by  Miss  Janis,  who  shines 
with  decided  brightness.  A  pleasant  entertain- 
ment. 

Clobe. — "Apple  Blossoms."  The  ambitious 
and  much  heralded  operetU  of  Fritz  Kreisler 
and  Victor  Jacobi,  plus  colorful  Joseph  Urban 
settings.  An  offering  far  above  the  musical 
average.  John  Charles  Thomas  sings  admira- 
bly. Wilda  Bennett  is  an  attractive  heroine 
and  Florence  Shirley  lends  a  piquant  person- 
ality to  the  proceedings. 

Hippodrome. — "Happy  Days."  Big  and  spec- 
tacular production  t>-p<cal  of  the  Hippodrome. 
The  diving  girls  are  again  a  feature,  disporting 
in  the  huge  "Hip"  tank. 

//•«<xoii.— "Clarence  "  Booth  Taddngton's 
delightful  comedy,  built  about  the  way  a  re- 
turned soldier  reunited  a  disturbed  but  typic- 
ally American  household.  Superb  perform- 
ances by  Alfred  Lunt,  Glenn  Hunter  and 
Helen  Hayes  give  the  comedy  a  fine  verve. 

//ofTii. -"Wedding  Bells."  A  light  and 
highly  amusing  comedy  by  Salisbury  Field. 
\dmirahly  written  and  charmingly  played  by 
Margaret  Lawrence  and  Wallace  Eddinger. 
One  of  the  things  you  should  see. 

Henry  Miller's. — "Moonlight  and  Honey- 
suckle." Ruth  Chatterton  in  a  charming 
comedy  that  might  have  been  a  big  hit  had  the 
playwright  taken  full  advantage  of  some  Splen- 
did situations  in  the  last  act.  As  it  is,  it  starts 
like  a  hare  and  ends  like  a  tortoise. 

Maiine  Ellioll's. — "The  Unknown  WoniaiL" 
.\  very  emotional  melodrama  with  Marjorie 
Rambcau  in  Bendel  gowns  and  tears.  Jean 
Robertson  contributes  a  vivid  bit  as  a  "dope." 

Morcsco. — "Civilian  Oothes."  A  delightful 
comedy  to  please  evcr\-body.  Brand  new  idea 
and  cle\'erl}'   worked  out.     Thurston   Hall   in 


the  title  role  shares  the  honors  with  beautiful 
Olive  Tell.     Suppc.rt  excellent. 

P/oy/iOujc— "Palmy  Day>."  A  picturesque 
drama  by  Augustus  Thomas,  in  which  Milton 
Lackaye  does  the  finest  work  of  his  career 
since  "Jim  the  Penman." 

Plyiiioiilh.~"The  Jest,"  Arthur  Hopkins 
production  of  Sem  Benelli's  colorful  and  grip- 
ping Florentine  drama.  John  and  Lionel  Bar- 
rymore  arc  again  seen  in  their  original  roles. 
An  admirable  cast  and  Robert  Edmund  Jones' 
settings  lend  splendid  aid. 

Princess. — "Nightie  Night."  Described  by 
the  program  as  a  "wide  awake  farce,"  "Nightie 
Night"  lives  up  to  its  billing.  It  has  plenty 
of  verve,  ginger,  and  some  daring.  There  are 
scores  of  laughs.  Heading  the  very  adequate 
cast  are  Francis  Byrne,  Suzanne  Willa,  Mal- 
colm Duncan  and  Dorothy  Mortimer. 

Shuberi. — ^"The  Magic  Melody."  A  "roman- 
tic musical  play"  with  a  tuneful  score  and  a 
picturesque  Willy  Pogany  setting.  Charles 
Purcell,  Fay  Marbe,  Julia  Dean,  Earl  Ben- 
ham  and  Carmel  Meyers,  the  last  two  well 
known  to  the  screen,  head  the  cast. 

Tliirly-ninth  .Street  Theater.— "'Scandsi," 
Cosmo  Hamilton's  daring  drama  which  Con- 
stance Talmadge  played  on  the  screen.  Fran- 
cine  Larrimore  and  Charles  Cherry  have  the 
leading  r6!es  in  the  excellent  footlight  produc- 
tion. 

ON  TOLIR 

"Ah  Exchange  of  Wives."  Another  Cosmo 
Hamilton  comedy  which,  however,  never  at- 
tains the  spontaneity  or  piquancy  of  "Scan- 
dal." The  chief  blush-inducer  is  a  scene  on  a 
sleeping  porch.      , 

"See-Saw." — A  pleasant  musical  entertain- 
ment. The  delightful  Elizabeth  Hines  stands 
out  and  Dorothy  Mackaye  is  pleasantly  cast. 

"She  Would  and  She  Did."  Grace  George 
in  a  light  (very  light)  comedy  founded  on  a 
little  hole  in  the  golf  links  which  Grace  angrily 
made,  resulting  in  her  suspension  from  the -club 
for  two  months.  Society  and  golf  folks  will 
probably  find  this  an  entertaining  little  play. 

E.  H.  Sothcm  and  Julia  Marlowe  in 
Shakespearean  repertoire.  These  artists  rep- 
resent the  best  traditions  of  our  theater  and 
their  revivals  of  "Twelfth  Night,"  "Hamlet," 
and  "The  Taming  of  the  Shrew,"  are  distin- 
guished in  every  sense  of  the  word. 

"The  Better  'Olc."  The  Cxibum  production 
of  the  musical  comedy  based  upon  Bruce 
Baimsfather's  new  immortal  cartoon  creation. 
Old  Bill  Mr.  Cobum's  characterization  of  Bill 
is  still  as  remarkable  as  e\Tr. 

"A  Lonely  Romeo,"  with  Lew  Fields.  A 
lii^t  show  running  in  the  usual  groove. 
Frances  Cameron,  who  is  developing  remarka- 
bly, is  the  bright  figure  of  "A  Lonely  Romeo." 
while  Mr.  Fields  is  hisJuunorous  self.  There's 
a  decidedly  funny  scene  in  a  men's  hat  shop. 

"Chn  Chin  Chow."  An  opulent  and  beautiful 
musical  extrax-aganza  based  upon  the  Arabian 
Nights  tale  of  Ali  Baba  and  the  Forty  Thieves. 
Dazzling  series  of  sensuous  stage  pictures. 
"Oiu  CMn  Chow"  is  presented  this  year  with 
an  entirely  new  edition  and  new  costumes. 
Marjorie  Wood  makes  a  colorful  desert 
woman,  Lionel  Braham  is  very  effective  as  the 
robber  sheik  and  Eugene  (Towles  makes  the 
role  of  steward  stand  out.  George  Rosely  plays 
the  young  lover  admirably. 

"La  La  Lucille."  Musical  comedy  built 
around  the  efforts  of  a  loving  couple  to  ar- 
range a  divorce  in  order  to  live  up  to  the 
lerms  of  a  millionaire  aunt's  will.  A  co- 
respondent is  engaged  and  troubles  begin.  John 
E.  Hazzard  and  Janet  Velie  play  the  would-be 
divorcees,  while  Marjorie  Bentley  and  Helen 
Oark  give  able  assistance.  Light  sonuner  en- 
tertainment 

The  Shuberi  Gaieties  of  igig.  A  lively  revue 
/with  scores  of  statuesque  girls  and  sttmning

"John  Ferguson."  A  straight  drama  ihat 
compares  favorably  with  anything  of  the  kind 
that  New  York  has  seen  for  years.  Beauti- 
fully staged  and  acted.  Masterpieces  of  tliis 
kind  should  be  liberally  patronized  to  encour- 
age others. 

George  White's  "Scandals  of  1919."  All 
sorts  and  \^riations  of  dancing  make  up  for  a 
lack  of  story  or  humor.  The  real  star  is 
piquant  little  Ann  Pennington — as  seductive  a 
little  iazzer  as  ever  shimmied  on  Broadway. 
Then  there's  the  lively  dancing  of  Mr.  White 
himself. 

"Friendly  Enetmes."  This  is  the  record- 
breaking  comedy  drama  of  last  se^ott,  with 
Louis  Mann  in  his  original  role. 

"At  9:45"  An  absorbing  melodrama  by 
Owen  Davis.  One  of  those  thrillers  in  which 
every  one  in  the  cast  is  suspected  of  murder 
until  the  hiial  curtain.  Marie  Goff  proves  to 
be  a  genuine  discovery  as  the  heroiue,  and  an 
excellent  emotional  performance  is  given  by 
Edith  Sha>'ne. 

"Three  Wise  Fools."  Austin  Strong's  hu- 
man little  drama  of  three  crusty  old  bachelors 
who  are  bequeathed  a  young  woman  and  who 
are  subsequently  rejuvenated.  Melodrama 
with  a  heart  throb.  Helen  Menken  gives  a 
striking  performance  of  the  nerve-racked  hero- 
ine, while  Claude  Gillingwater  is  a  delightfully 
testy  old  Teddy  Findl'-v. 

"She's  a  Good  Fellow."  A  light  but  pleasant 
musical  comedy  built  about  the  efforts  of  old 
folks  to  break  up  a  marriage  between  a  loving 
3'oung  couple.  Joseph  Santley  is  a  likeable 
lover-husband,  masquerading  in  skirts  for  a 
whole  act  Iv>'  Sawyer,  the  very  pleasing  Ann 
Orr  and  Scott  Welsh  lend  delightful  assist- 
ance. 

"Listen,  Lester"  Lively,  dancy  show  with 
considerable  humor.  Cast  includes  Gertrude 
Vianderbilt,  Clifton  Webb.  Ada  Lewis,  Ada 
Mae  Weeks  and  E^die  Garvie. 

"39  East"  A  charming  comedy  founded  on 
a  boarding  school  romance  in  which  many  in- 
teresting characters  make  love-making  difiicult 
for  a  pair  of  j'oung  lovers. 

.  "Up  in  Mabel's  Room."  Piquant,  daring  but 
decidedly  amusing  farce  built  about  the  pursuit 
of  a  dainty  pink  undergarment  which  bears  the 
same  name  as  a  recent  jazz  dance.  Admirable 
cast,  including  the  radiant  Hazel  Dawn.  "Up 
in  Mabel's  Room*'  is  an  admirable  example  of 
well-knit  farce. 

"The  Unknown  Purple."  Interesting  and 
well  sustained  thriller.  The  story  of  a  convict 
who  discovers  a  way  to  make  himself  invisible, 
transforming  into  a  purple  ray,  and  who  starts 
out  to  get  revenge-  The  invisible  man  steals 
necklaces,  opens  safes  and  passes  thru  doors. 
Richard  Bennett  gives  a  vigorous  performance 
of  the  human  ray. 

"Take  It  From  Me"  A  comedy  with  music, 
in  which  a  sporty  young  man  falls  heir  to  a 
department  store  and  runs  it  according  to  the 
latest  musical  comedy  methods. 

"Three  Faces  East."  Another  Secret  Ser- 
vice-German spy  drarti^  this  one  by  Anthony 
Paul  Kelly,  one  of  our  most  successful  photo- 
playwrights.  The  principal  charm  of  this  play 
is  in  trying  to  guess  who  are  the  German  spies 
and  who  arc  the  Allies,  just  as  we  were  puzzled 
in  ''Cheating  Cheaters"  to  know  who  were 
burglars  and  who  were  not.

AN  APOLOGY  AND 
AN  EXPLANATION 

On  October  ist,  1919,  practically  all  of  the  printers  and  type- 
setters in  and  around  New  York  went  out  on  strike,  including 
those  who  print  this  magazine.  Without  going  into  the  merits 
of  the  controversy  between  the  employers  and  the  employees,  we 
will  simply  say  that  we  had  no  voice  in  the  matter  one  way  or 
the  other.  Several  labor  unions  had  differences  among  them- 
selves, and  these  differences  caused  the  Publishers'  Association 
to  refuse  to  comply  with  the  demands  of  certain  labor  unions. 
We  do  not  belong  to  the  Publishers'  Association.  That  body 
conducted  all  the  negotiations.  When  the  printers  and  com- 
positors walked  out,  it  was  not  in  our  power  to  make  them  walk 
back,  even  if  we  had  been  willing  to  give  them  everything  they 
asked.  Had  we  terms  with  one  union,  another  union  would 
have  refused  to  handle  our  paper,  and  another  union  would 
have  refused  to  make  the  plates  which  are  necessary  for  us  to 
have.  In  other  words,  our  hands  were  tied.  We  were  helpless. 
Some  publications  were  fortunate  enough  to  have  some  of  their 
printing  done  for  them  in  distant  cities,  some  had  it  done  by  some 
other  process  (such  as  typewriting  photographed)  and  some 
could  not  have  their  work  done  at  all.  The  strike  did  not  end 
until  the  latter  part  of  November,  having  lasted  nearly  two 
months. 

During  this  time  we  did  everything  possible  to  supply  our 
readers  with  this,  their  favorite  magazine,  on  time  and  in  good 
condition,  but  such  was  not  possible.  We  left  no  stone  unturned 
and  were  willing  to  go  to  any  expense,  but  in  spite  of  every  effort, 
we  were  unable  to  meet  the  schedule,  hence  we  were  late. 
Furthermore,  the  magazine  that  you  received  was  not  the  one 
we  intended  to  give  you.  When  the  strike  came  on,  this  magazine 
was  partly  made  up  and  partly  printed,  but  we  were  unable  to 
move  either  the  type  or  the  parts  that  had  been  printed.  We 
managed  to  get  out  a  MAGAZINE,  but  it  was  not  the  kind  of 
magazine  we  wanted,  it  was  the  best  we  could.  We  could  not 
even  print  an  explanation  and  an  apology,  hence  this  one.  We 
hoped,  and  still  believe,  that  all  of  our  esteemed  readers,  even 
those  in  distant  parts,  had  heard  of  the  great  tie-up  strike  and 
that  they  would  patiently  wait.  Some  of  our  contemporaries  took 
advantage  of  our  extremities  by  issuing  extra  large  editions  on 
an  advanced  date,  hoping  thereby  to  secure  some  of  our  readers, 
instead  of  extending  us  the  brotherly  hand  and  saying,  "Is  there 
anything  we  can  do  for  you  in  your  distress?"  We  hope  that 
they  have  largely  profited  by  their  business  sagacity,  but  we  be- 
lieve that  we  have  not  lost  a  single  reader.  Once  a  reader  always 
a  reader. 

We  are  now  fully  recovered  from  the  disaster  and  from  now 
on  our  readers  may  expect  the  finest  magazine  possible  We 
have  done  this  for  ten  years  and  we  can  do  it  now.    WATCH  US.

Why  Do  People  Like 

AV^Uiam  S.  Hart  and 
Dorothy  Dalton 


WHY  is  Dorotfav  Dalton  so  well  loved  by 
her  follower?  Why  does  William  S. 
Han  attract  and  hold  the  admiration 
of  almost  every  one?  They  both  know  the 
secret  of  nuking  people  Ukc  them. 

If  DoToth)  Dalton  and  William  S.  Hart  can 
do  the  thing  that  makes  themselves  liked  by 
ihe  most  cosmopolitan  audience  in  the  world — 
people  the>-  never  see — think  how  much  easier 
it  will  be  for  yon  to  master  this  ability — win 
the  confidence  and  liking  of  the  people  with 
whom  yoo  come  in  ccmtict. 

You  too  can  have  the  power  of  making 
people  like  yoo.  For  by  the  same  method  used 
by  Dr.  Illackford  in  analyzing  Miss  Dalton  and 
Mr.  Hart,  yoo  can,  at  a  glance,  tell  the  char- 
acteristics of  any  man,  woman  or  child^ell 
instantb  their  likes  and  dislikes,  and  YOU 
CA.\  M.\KE  PEOPLE  LIKE  YOU.  Here  is 
how  n  :s  done. 

Everyone  you  know  can  be  placed  in  one  of 
two  general  types— blond  or  bmnet.  There  is 
jts  big  a  difference  between  the  characteristics 
of  a  blnnd  and  those  of  a  bnmet  as  there  is 
between  night  and  day.  You  persuade  a  blond 
in  one  way  a  hmnct  in  another.  Klonds  en- 
joy one  phase  of  Ufe-  bnmets  another.  Blends 
make  good  in  one  kind  of  job — bruncts  in  oae 
entirely  dilTerenL 

To  know  these  differences  scientifically  is 
^e  first  step  in  judging  men  and  women;  in 
getting:  on  with  them;  imtstering  their  minds; 
in  making  thenf  like  you;  m  winning  their 
respect,  admiration,  kive  and  friendship. 

And  when  yon  have  learned  these  differ- 
eiicr»— when  yon  an  tell  at  a  glance  just  what 
to  do  and  say  to  make  any  man  or  woman 
Hkc  yju,  yoor  success  in  life  is  assured. 


What  Dr.  Blackford  Says 

{Partial  OMOlysit  tmade  frorm   Photog rapks\ 

Miss  Dalton  has'a  particDlarly  fine  physical  iirganization.  She  belongs  to 
the  vital-motiTe  trpc.  Note  the  roundness  of  her  features  and  tlic  fullness  of 
her  figure.  Tlie  motive  qualities  show  in  Uie  squareness  of  her  face  in  full 
front  view,  and  in  the  graceful  poses  and  movements  of  her  body.  She  lias 
splendid  recuperative  power.  This  gives  vivacity,  responsive  energies,  warmth 
and  enthusiasm  of  nature. 

Miss  Dalton  is  distinctly  feminine  in  type.  Note  the  slightly  concave  nose, 
tilted  up  at  the  end,  the  soft  cnrves  of  her  face  and  body,  and  the  cnpid^low 
lips.  Feminine  characteristics  are  further  shown  in  her  lar^e,  soulful  eyes, 
her  long,  curling  lashes,  and  the  subtle  humor  and  coquetry  m  her  facial  ex- 
pressioo. 

Miss  Dalton  belongs  to  the  convex  type,  with  the  exception  of  the  nose, 
which  is  plane  tending  to  concave.  Convexity  of  features  indicates  keeilness, 
quick  responses,  quickness  in  action  and  directness  in  speech.  These  qualities 
Miss  Dalton  manifests  in  her  quick  responsiveness  to  conditions  of  environ- 
ment, in  her  quick  comprehension  of  artistic  values  and  her  readiness  to  iKake 
the  most  of  a  dtamatic  situaticm. 

She  is  very  emotional  and  strongly  sentimental,  and  appeals  to-  these 
qualities  in  her  audience.  One  loves  Dorothy  Dalton  because  she  has  the  alt 
of  winning  yooT  affecticm  through  her  heart  appeaL 


Paul  Graham  was  a  blond,  and  not  until  He 
had  learned  that  Ihere  was  all  the  difference 
in  the  worM  between  the  characteristics  of  a 
blond  and  those  of  a  bnmet  did  he  discover 
the  secret  of  making  people  like  him. 

Paul  had  been  keeping  books  for  years  for 
a  large  corporation  which  had  branches  all 
over  tlie  country.  It  was  generally  thought 
by  his  associates  that  he  would  never  rise 
above  that  iob.  He  had  a  tremendous  ability 
with  figures — could  wind  them  around  his  little 
finger — but  he  did  not  have  the  ability  to  mix 
with  big  men ;  did  not  know  how  to  make 
people  like  him. 


What  Miss  Dalton's  Manacer  Says: 


Then  one  day  the  impossible  happened.  Paul 
Graham  became  popular.  Business'men  of  im- 
portance who  had  formerly  given  him  only  a 
passing  ncd  of  acquaintance  suddenly  showed 
a  desire  for  his  friendship.  People — even 
strangers — actually  went  out  of  their  way  to 
do  things  for  him.  Even  he  was  astoimdcd 
at  his  new  power  over  men  and  women.  Not 
only  conid  he  get  them  to  do  what  he  wanted 
them  to  do,  bat  they  actually  anticipated  his 
wishes  and  seemed  eager  to  please  him. 

From  the  day  the  change  took  place,  he 
began  to  go  up  in  business.  Now  he  is  the 
Head  Anditor  for  his  corporation  at  an  im- 
mense increase  in  salary.  And  all  this  came  to 
him  simply  because  be  learned  the  secret  of 
making  people  like  him. 

Another  example — the  case  of  a  large  maim- 
facturing  concern.  Trouble  sprang  up  at  one 
of  the  factories.  The  men  taSced  strike. 
Things  looked  ugly.  Harry  Winslow  was  sent 
to  straighten  it  out.  On  the  eve  of  a  general 
walkout,  he  pacified  the  men  and  headoi  off 
the  strike.  And  not  only  this,  but  ever  since 
then,  that  factory  has  led  all  the  others  for 
prodoction.  He  was  able  to  do  this,  because 
he  knew  bow  to  make  these  men  like  him  and 
to  do  what  he  wanted  them  to  do. 

Another  case,  entirely  different,  is  that  of 
Henry  Peters.  Because  of  his  ability  to  make 
people  like  him — his  faculty  for  "getting  under 
the  skin"  and  making  people  think  his  way, 
he  was  given  the  position  of  Assistant  to  the 
President  of  a  large  firm.  Two  other  men, 
both  well  liked  by  their  fellow  employees, 
had  each  expected  to  get  the  job.  So  when 
the  outside  man.  Peters,  came  in,  he  was 
looked  upon  by  everyone  as  an  interloper  and 
was  openly  disliked  by  every  person  in  the 
office. 

Peters  was  handicapped  in  every  way.  But 
in  spite  of  that  in  three  weeks  he  had  made 
fast  friends  of  cvcrytme  in  the  house  and  had 
even  won  over  the  two  men  who  had  been 
.most  bitter  against  him.  The  whole  secret  is 
that  he  could  tell  in  an  instant  how  to  appeal 
to  any  man  and  make  himself  well  Hked. 

(Kigkt) 


A  certein  woman  who  had  this  ability 
moved  with  her  family  to  another  town.  As 
IS  often  the  case,  it  was  a  very  difficult  thing 
for  any  woman  to  break  into  the  chill  circle 
of  society  in  this  town  if  she  was  not  known. 
But  her  ability  to  make  people  like  her  soon 
won  for  her  the  close  friendship  of  many  of 
the  "best  families"  in  the  town.  Some  people 
wonder  how  she  did  it  It  was  simply  the 
secret  af  work — ^the  secret  of  judging  people's 
characters  and  making  them  like  you. 

You  realize  of  course  that  just  knowing  the 
difference  between  a  blond  and  a  brunet  could 
not  accomplish  all  these  wonderful  things. 
There  are  other  things  to  be  taken  into  ac- 
count.    But  here  is  the  whole  secret. 

You  know  everyone  does  not  think  alike. 
What  one  likes  another  dislikes.  And  what 
offends  one  pleases  another.  Well,  there  is 
your  cue.  You  can  make  an  instant  "hit" 
with  anyone  if  you  say  the  things  they  want 
TOU  to  say  and  act  the  way  they  wani'you  to 
-  act  Do  this  and  they  will  surely  like  you  and 
believe  in  you  and  go  miles  out  of  their  wav 
to  PLEASE  YOU. 

You  can  do  this  easily  by  knowing  certain 
simple  signs.  In  addition  to  the  difference  in 
complexion  eveo'  man,  woman  and  child  has 
written  on  them  signs  as  distinct  as  though 
ihey  were  in  letters  a  foot  high,  which  show 
yon  from  one  qnick  glance  exactly  what  to 
say  and  to  do  to  please  them — to  get  them  to 
believe — ^to  think  as  you  think — ^to  do  exactly 
what  yon  want  them  to  do. 

As  tmerringly  as  Dr.  Blackford  has  told  the 
characteristics  of  Miss  Dalton  and  Mr.  Hart 
yon  can  tell  the  weak  and  strong  points  of 
character  in  everyone  you  meet. 

Ill  knowing  these  .'•imple  signs  is  the  whole 
secret  of  getting  what  you  want  out  of  lifc-r 
making  friends  of  business  and  social  advani. 
tage.  Every  great  leader  uses  this  method- 
That  is  why  he  IS  a  leader.  Use  it  yourself 
and  you  will  quickly  become  a  leader — noth- 
ing can  stop  yoiL 

You  have  heard  before  of  Dr.  Blackford 
•he  Charaaer  Analyst  Dr.  Blackford's  de- 
velopment and  application  of  the  science  of 
Character  Analy^sis  has  been  built  «on  a  sohd 
foundation  of  direct  professional  study  of  all 
kinds  of  men  and  women.  After  years  of  ex- 
ten.sive  consulting  work  among  business  con- 
cerns, merchants,  manufacturers.  Chambers  of 
Commerce,  and  trade  associations.  Dr.  Black- 
ford made  a  trip  around  the  world,  observing 
widely  different  races,  comparing  notes  with 
leading  specialists  of  forty  nations,  comparing 
theories  with  such  famous  authorities  as  Al- 
fred Haddon,  Metchnikoff  and  Giuseppe  Sergi, 
and  studying  the  exhaustive  records  of  Ber- 
tillon.  So  Dr.  Blackford's  store  of  ideas  in 
the  realm  of  human  relations  has  become 
probably  the  most  carefully  arranged  exhibit 
of  facts  on  cliaracter  stndv  in  the  United 
States.  "  . 

It  is  not  surprising,  therefore,  that  many 
concerns  will  not  employ  a  man  without  first 
getting  Dr.  Blackford  to  pass  on  hmi.  Con- 
cerns such  as  Westinghouse  Electric  and 
Manufacturing-  Company.  Baker- Vawter  Com- 
pany, the  Lanrentide  Company,  Ltd.,  and 
many  others^  pay  Dr.  Blackford  large  annual 
lees  for  advice  on  dealing  with  human  nature. 

So  great  was  the  demand  foi-  these  service*, 
that  Dr.  Blackford  could  not  even  begin  to 
fill  an  the  engagements.  So  Dr.  Blackford 
has  explained  the  method  in  a  simple  se»'en- 
•eson  coarse,  entitled,  "Reading  Character  at 
Sight"  Even  a  half  hour's  reading  of  this 
wonderful  course  will  give  you  an  insight- 
mto  human  natiue,  and  a  pow-er  over  people 
which  will  surprise  yoa. 

Such  confidence  have  the  pubUshers  in  Dr. 
".•"cfcford's  Coiu-se,  "Reading  Character  at 
Sight,"  that  they  will  gladly  .send  it  to  you  on 
approval,  all  charges  prepaid.  Look  it  over 
thoroughly.  See  if  it  Kves  up  to  all  the  claims 
made  for  it  If  >-ou  do  not  want  to  keep  it, 
then  rctam  it  and  the  transaction  is  closed. 
And  if  you  decide  to  keep  it— as  you  surely

To  make  your  skin 

noticeably   lovely  -  Give  it  the  reguW  care  it  had 
when  you  were  a  baby 


When  you  were  a  baby,  your 
skin  was  exquisitely  soft — clear, 
delicate — daintily  rose-pink  and 
white. 

People  loved  to  touch  your  rose- 
petal  cheeks,  your  soft  smooth 
little  hands. 

Do  you  ever  stop  to  think  what 
kept  your  skin  so  fine  and  soft? 
What  is  keeping  it  now  from  be- 
ing as  fine  and  soft  as  it  can  be? 
No  matter  how  you  have  neg- 
lected your  skin,  you  can  make 
it  exquisite  in  texture.  You  can 
have  the  glorious  color  of  youth. 
You  must  begin  at  once  to  give 
.  your  skin  the  tender,  regular 
care  it  received  when  you  were  a 
baby. 

Every  night  Ijefore  retiring, 
cleanse  it  thoroughly — just  as 
thoroughly  as  a  baby's  skin  is 
cleansed  every  night.  If  your 
skin  has  lost  its  delicacy  and 
clearness,     use     the     particular 


Woodbury  treatment  indicated 
for  its  needs. 

Do  you  want  more  color?  Are 
vour  pores  enlarged  ?  Have  you 
disfiguring  blemishes  or  black- 
heads ?  These  conditions  are  the 
result  of  neglect  and  the  constant 
exposure  to  which  your  skin  is 
subjected.  The  right  Woodbury 
treatment,  used  nightly,  will  cor- 
rect them. 

Get  a  cake  of  Woodbury's  Facial 
Soap  and  have  your  first  treat- 
ment tonight.  The  feeling  the 
first  two  or  three  treatments 
leave  on  your  skin  will  tell  you 
how  much  good  its  regular  use 
is  going  to  do  you.  In  a  week  or 
ten  davs  vou  will  begin  to  notice 


a  decided  improvement  —  the 
greater  clearness,  smoothness, 
fineness  and  color  you  long  foi

THIS  is  no  conventional  chat- 
for-an-hour  interview  —  this 
composite  view  of  Dick  Bar- 
thelmess.  For  it  is  the  product 
of  many  hours  together ;  in  the 
country,  in  the  city,  under  vary- 
ing conditions. 

I  would  shudder  to  write  my 
impressions  of  Barthelmcss  after 
seeing  him  once.     He  is  too  elu- 
sive,   too    much    within    himself. 
He   sits   half   broodingly,   saying 
ery  little,  laughing  now  and  then 
ith  typical  boyish  high  spirits,  tempered  by  an  odd 
mi-worldliness.    But  to  paint  a  word  picture  of 
im  after  one  meeting  would  be  impossible. 

I  know  that  now  I  have  not  wholly  found  the 
real  Barthelmess.  But  here  and  there  in  our  con- 
versation flashe.s  have  revealed  something  of  this  boy 
who  became  famous  over  night  for  his  Yellow  Man 
in  "Broken  Blossoms." 

We  first  met  after  the  premiere  of  the  Griffith  pro- 
duction He  had  everj-  reason  to  have  lost  his  head 
in  the  avalanche  of  praise.  But  he  hadn't.  A  sin- 
gular mental  balance  is  his. 

Indeed,  he  is  the  most  nniisnal  young  actor  I  ever 


Barthelmess:  the  Boy 


met.  Because  be  isn't  the  least  like  a  player.  None  of  the 
things  we  call  temperament  are  there,  just  a  down-right, 
reguhu',  breath-taking  boyishness.  Not  a  slam-bang,  certaiu- 
of-himself  bojrishness  either,  but  a  quiet,  introspective  sort 

Just  before  this  "interview"  was  written  we  went  to  a 
musical  comedy  together.  Barthelmess  didn't  lan^  at  the 
cheap  humor  of  it.  Neither  did  he  assume  a  high-brow  air 
in  commenting  upon  its  banality.  But  he  was  frankly — and 
boyishly — interested  in  the  girls. 

Some  one  interviewed  Barthelmess  on  the  coast  and  pro- 
nounced him  a  shrinking  lad  who  loved  books.  They  dtdt^t 
see  him  as  I  saw  him. 

Yet  Barthelmess  does  lo-'e  good  books.  He  reads  a  great 
deal  One  night  he  dropped  a  volume  of  Blasco  Ibanez 
to  have  dinner  with  me. 

But  Barthelmess  is  many  sided. 

He  loves  the  feminine  note  in  life. 

His  ideal  type  of  girl  ?  "Rather  tall  and  slender,"  he  said, 
(and  I  know  he  will  shudder  to  read  this),  "she  needn't 
necessarily  be  either  blonde  or  brtmette,  but  she  must  be 
attractive." 

"What  about  brains?"  we  parried. 

Barthelmess  paused.  "I  was  thinking  of  an  ideal  dancing 
partner.  Of  course,  I  hope  some  day  to  meet  a  combination 
of  beauty  and  brains.  Possibly  I  have  met  them  but  they 
have  not  been  able  to  see  me  for  dirt."  No  coiKeit  there. 

Yes,  Barthelmess  loves  to  dance.    Cabarets  appeal  to  him. 

But  he  confessed:  "After  two  or  three  weeks  of  New 
York  night  life — with  theaters  and  midnight  dancing — I 
feel  as  if  I  were  wasting  myself.  Sort  of  as  tho  I  needed 
a  mental  bath." 

Then — odd  as  you  may  think — Barthelmess  goes  away 
into  the  country,  near  his  home  in  Connecticut. 

"I  have  a  quaint  old  room  in  a  quaint  old  farmhouse,"  hf 
relates,  "I  sleep  in  a  four-poster  and  I  sleep.  I 
read  a  lot  and  I  dream.    Somehow.  I  guess  I  like 


Dick  Barthelmess  -isn't  the  least  like  > 
pb^er.  None  of  the  things  we  call  tem- 
pcrunent  are  there,  just  a  down-right, 
regalar,  breath-taking  boyishness.  Not 
a  slam-bang,  certain-of-himself  boyish- 
ness, but  a  quiet,  introspective  sort 


that   best   of   all."     Did    I    .say 
Barthelmess  is  many  sided? 

No,  Barthelmess  is  not  "tem- 
peramental" as  the  word  is  used 
in  screen  circles.  Not  that  he 
lacks  ambition.  He  has  fought 
every  inch  of  his  way. 

His  mother  an  actress.  Bar- 
thelmess came  from  collie  to 
try  his  luck  on  the  screen.  The 
role  of  the  younger  brother  in 
Herbert  Brenon's  "War  Brides" 
with  Alia  Nazimova,  gave  him 
his  surt.  But  it  by  no  means 
made  him.  He  drifted,  not  quite 
able  to  do  anything  big  anywhere. 

"I   almost  starved  before  my 
opportutiity  with  Griffith  came.' 
he  told  me  laconically,  "really  al 
most  starved." 

Naturally    Barthelmess    looks

A  Composite  Study

npon  Griffith  with  eyes  of  genuine  worship.  "He 
is  more  like  a  father  than  an  emplojrer  or  the 
master  the  world  sees,"  the  young  actor  says. 
"Gee,  111  be  glad  when  he  comes  easl  I  always 
feel  that  I  can  tell  him  all  my  troubles  and  atways 
be  told  just  how  to  solve  things?" 

That  was  before  Griffith  brought  his  studio 
staff  eiist  and  b^;an  producing  in  Westchester. 
(Right  here  let  me  add  that  the  producer  re- 
mailcs  anent'  Barthelmess  and  Bobbie  Harron: 
"No  cleaner  minded  boys  ever  lived.") 

Of  course,  Barthelmess  just  a  bit  envies  the 
young  stars  of  the  celluloid  drama  who  have 
every  means,  particularly  financial,  to  advance 
themselves.  "I  wish  I  had  money  to  buy  plays 
and  books  now  and  lay  them  aside  for  a  future 
day,  when  I  shall  have  learned  enough  and  made 
enough  friends  everywhere  to  be  a  star — that  is, 
if  that  day  comes." 

His  favorite  role?  Not  the  Yellow  Man  but 
the  lover  with  Marguerite  Oarke  in  "Three  Men 
«nd  a  Girl."  He  likes  that  sort  of  light  romantic 
character  best.  Probably,  "111  Get  Him  Yet"  is 
his  next  choice. 

The  Mexican  vagabond  hero  of  "Scarlet  Days" 
interested  •Barthelmess  a  great  deal.  "It  was 
different,  at  least,  to  ride  a  mustang  and  wear 
a  mustadie,"  he  laughs.  Critics  have  said  that 
it  was  a  boyish  Walthall  come  to  the  screen,  this 
stesitive,  glamorous,  dashing  desperado  with  the 
haunting  vein  of  humor  and  sadness.  ^ 

Barthelmess  has  been  playing  a  beachcomber  m 


Bartfaelmeas  loves  mo«t  of  all  to  May 
at  his  old  home  in  Connecticiit. 
"I  have  a  <iiuunt  old  room  in  a  quaint 
old  fannhoose,"  he  lays,  "I  deep  in 
a  foor-poiter  and  I  aleep.  I  read  a 
lot  and  I  dream."  Two  viewa  of 
BrthflmfM  in  "Scarlet  Days"  are 
iriiown  on  dieac  pacea 


a  forthcoming  Griffith  story  of  the  South 
Seas.  This  will  be  his  latest  contribution 
to  the  screen  —  and  a  fascinating  one  it 
should  be,  with.  Barthelmess  plajring 
opposite  Clarine  Seymour,  the  famous 
"cutie  beautiful.''  Miss  Seymour  por- 
trays a  hula  hula  maid — and  does  it  viv- 
idly, judging  from  our  studio  glimpses. 

But  to  return  to  Barthelmess. 

There  is  no  question  but  that  Dick 
holds  a  place  all  his  own  on  the  screen. 
Comparisons  have  been  made  with  Charles 
Ray,  but  the  two  young  men  are  poles 
apart.  Youth  alone  makes  them  com- 
parable. Ray  is  the  film's  foremost  ex- 
ponent of  the  genre  school — Barthelmess 
of  the  humanely  romantic  school. 

The  silversheet  has  needed  just  this 
touch.  It  has  been  missing  since  Wal- 
thall contributed  his  "little  Colonel"  to 
"The  Birth  of  a  Nation."  The  Yellow 
Man  was  the  first  idealistic  touch  of  poet- 
ry since  that  lovable  character. 

There  is  one  vivid  thingin  Barthelmess' 
character  that  I  haven't  touched  upon.

She  laughed  and  curled  up  in  a  brocaded  chair. 
I  was  glad  it  was  near  the  window,  because  every

shot  thru  the  air  and  there  was  suffi-

The  soap-scented  elevator  lifted  me  to  im- 
4neasurable  heights,  where  I  got  out  amongst 
the  clouds  at  the  — th  floor,  and  sailed  in 
upon  a  soft  atmosphere  of  blueness  that  was 
— heavenly.  A  maid  told  me  to  wait.  (There 
are  maids  in  these  places.)  And  from  my 
glory  of  azure  velvet,  underneath  a  lamp  of 
golden  tints,  nooked  out  on  the  drizzle — 
doubting  its  reality. 

Elaine  came  into  the  room,  and  I  saw  the 
purple  of  her  kimona,  the  grey  of  her  eyes, 
and  the  tiniest  auburn  veil  that  glimpses 
thru  her  hair — and  I  knew  movies  were

or  danced  before  in  her  life! 

Miss  Hammerstein  laughed  so  deliciously 
as  she  confided  all  this  to  me  now,  but  a 
moment  later  she  sobered,  when  she  recalled 
the  nights  thaf  followed  nights  with  her  pic-

along  with  the  way  the  people  of  the  com-

licity. 

"I  didn't  care  a  bit  for  the  old  clippings,

JOHN  BowEKS,  leading  man 
of  many  pictures,  has  just 
signed  a  contract  for  an- 
other year  of  work  with  Gold- 
wyn ;  a  year  which  —  who 
knows? — may  end  with  his 
becoming  a  star. 

He  is  very  handsome,  is  John  Bow- 
ers— but  this  could  hardly  be  called 
news — at  least  six  feet  in  height  and 
athletic  looking  with  dark  eyes  and 
chestnut  brown  curly  hair. 

He  tells  a  pathetic  story  about  those 
curls  which  is  worth  repeating  here  in 
order  to  have  it  over  with..  It  seems 
that  recently,  when  he  went  to  see  one 
of  his  own  pkrtures  run  oflF  at  a  local 
theater,  he  heard  a  violent  argument 
between  two  women  about  his  hair. 
One  insisted  that  "no  hair  could  curl 
naturally  like  that"  and  offered  to  bet 
the  other  "every  cent  she  had  in  the 
worW"  that  it  was  marcelled.  Let  me 
say  right  here  that  he  was  more  in- 
dignant than  amused;  he  has  done 
everything  possible  to  keep  it  plastered 
down  ever  since.

"Who,  him?"  one  of  these  will  say,  "Why,  sure!  I  know  who  he  is! 
He's  the  owner  of  the  Uncas,  a  racing  yacht  with  just  about  the  classi- 
est li'l  record  you  ever  saw ;  bought  her  some  little  time  ago — " 
It  is  this  yacht  that  John  Bowers  thinks  of  as  home. 
This  doesn't  mean  that  he  has  no  love  for  the  little  white  bungalow 
just  two  blocks  from  the  Goldwyn  studio,  where  he  and  Mrs. 
Bowers  play  at  keeping  house.    He  couldn't  help  being  fond 
of  it,  the  place  is  so  pretty.     And,  too,  "We  have  lived  so 
long  in  hotels  and  apartments,"  he  said,  "that  life  in  a  real 
house  seems  like  a  game."    But  "a  man's  home  is  where  his 
heart  is,"  and  on  the  day  I  saw  John  Bowers  his  heart  was 
away  off  with  the  Uncas  on  the  Hudson  River.    He  was,  I 
think,  the  most  homesick  young  man  in  the  world.     It  was 
a  warm  day  in  early  August  and  a  light  breeze  blew  in  from 

the  Pacific,  reminding  one  that 
Venice  (and  solid  comfort  in 
a  bathing  suit)  was  only  about 
twenty  minutes  away.  He  was 
playing  the  part  of  a  photog- 
rapher. He  stood  on  a  London 
roof  at  the  Goldwyn  studio ;  a 
nice,  solid,  realistic  roof  about 
twenty  feet  from  the  ground 
with  no  house  underneath, 
and  under  Frank  Lloyd's 
direction,  photographed 
the  funniest  family  group  I 
have  ever  seen.    Director  and

cameraman  were  precar- 
iously perched  on  a  mov- 
able platform  opposite, 
which  rocked  lightly  at 
their  least  energetic 
movement  while  an  or- 
chestra, there  for  "at- 
mospheric" purposes, 
played  teasingly  a  f  e  w 
bars  from  "Rocked  in  the 
Cradle  of  the  Deep." 

"The  Uncas  is  really 
doming,"  John  Bowers 
said,  joining  me  when 
the  scene  was  over.  "I've 
made  definite  arrange- 
ments at  last.  Hal  and 
Doc  Wilson  (shipbuild- 
ers of  Balboa,  a  sea-side 
resort  near  Los  Angeles, 
and  his  inseparable  com- 
panions on  many  a 
cruise)  are  going  to 
oiake  up  a  party  of  seven 
or  eight  people  and  bring 
her  around  thru  the 
canal.  I  almost  think  I'd 
like  to  sleep  until  she  gets 
here,  the  waiting  will  be 
so  long !  Talk  about  your 
passionate  love  scenes — 
I'm  going  to  stage  one 
when  that  boat  arrives." 
He  was  speaking  lightly 
and  whimsically  but  with 
an  undertone  of  serious- 
ness. "I'm  going  to  wade 
out  into  the  Pacific  to 
meet  her  and  kiss  her 
right  on  the  bow-sprit !" 

He  laughed  at  the  idea 
but  he  was  more  than 
half  in  earnest.  Anyone 
who  has  ever  owned  any 
sort  of  a  boat  knows  that 
it  may  seem  as  vivid  and 
living  a  thing  as  one's 
dearest  friend  and  as  full 
of  unaccountable  moods 
and  actions.  And  when, 
in  addition  to  this,  she  is 
a  beautiful  boat  and  fa- 
mous—  well,  one  could 
not  ask  for  more.  And 
the  Uncas  is  both  beau- 
tiful and  famous ;  she  has 
a  raring  record  known 
among  yachtsmen  everywhere. 

She  is  a  $25,000  schooner  yacht — a  seventy- footer — ^built  on 
long  graceful  lines,  painted  white  and  with  fittings  of  rta- 
hogany.  Her  staterooms  are  large  and  comfortably  furnished. 
He  could  take  nine  guests  for  a  thirty-one  day  cruise  without 
their  missing  any  necessities  or  luxuries.  One  does  not  won- 
der that  her  young  owner  speaks  of  her  with  all  the  warm  en- 
thusiasm of  a  young  man  describing  his  sweetheart  as  "the 
only  girL"  John  Bowers  has  been  interested  in  boats  ever 
since  he  can  remember,  he  told  me.  The  first  one  he  owned 
was  a  twenty-one  footer  and  he  built  her  himself  when  he  was 
still  in  his  'teens.    He  used  to  sail  her  around  Lake  Wawasee,

John  Bowers  has  a  broad  and 
characteristic  philosophy  —  a 
belief  that  everything  moves  in 
cycles  and  that  individuals  re- 
turn again  and  again,  each  time 
OA  a  higher  pliuie,  until  they 
reach  perfection

ing them  almost  to  death  and  getting  a  lot  of  fun  out  of  the 
many  attempts  to  rescue  h'm.  He  is,  by  the  way,  one  of  a

THIS  is  an  amazing  interview 
because,  (this  will  require 
elucidation),  it  is  not  amaz- 
ing at  all;  that  is,  save  as  an 
interview.  It  is  with  Norma 
Talmadge,  and  the  day  I  sallied 
forth  to  "get"  her,  I  sallied  pre- 
pared to  be  amazed.  "Of  course," 
I  thought,  subwaying  jerkily 
along,  "of  course  .  .  .  young, 
very  young,  really  .  .  .  the  ex- 
traordinary and  undeniable  touch  of  a 
real  genius  .  .  .  widely  acclaimed  .  .  . 
at  the  top  of  the  ladder,  so  to  speak  .  .  . 
things  are  bound  to  have  happened  in  her 
as  it  were  .  .  .  sybaritic,  perhaps  .  .  .  some  distni;^iishmjf 
eccentricity  .  .  .  couldn't  be  helped  ...  I  dont  know  just 
what  .   .   .  bat  so  met  hint/  ..." 

Nothing  at  all.  The  girl  who,  admittedly,  stared,  some  years 
,igo,  at  the  .screen  and  murmured  to  her  mother,  in  the  .sur- 
roundins;  darkness,  "That's  what  /  want  to  do  .  .  .  be  a  movie 
actress,"  who,  afterward,  wandered  solitarily  about  the  \'ita- 
graph  studio  until  she  was  given  a  chance — that  self  same 
girl  talked  with  mc  in  her  own  stmlio,  the  Norma  Tahuadgc 
Film  Corporation,  the  other  day.  Talked  tii//i  me.  not  to  me. 
I  say  that  advisedly. 

In  one  preconceived  particular  I  was  right.  She  is  young. 
Marvellously  young.  More  as  to  viewpoint  and  general  man- 
nerism, or  rather,  total  lack  of  conscious  mannerism,  than  cither 
line  or  tint.  She  is  possessed  of  that  sophistication  which  ap- 
pears to  be  unconscious  of  itself.  She  has  ideals  and  does  not 
attempt  to  conceal  them.  There  is  no  thinly  applied  veneer 
of  cvTiicism,  nor,  on  the  other  han<l,  is  there  the  sugar-coated 
b.^by-staring  of  the  curly  ingenue.  .'>he  is  just  a  girl  with  a 
soice  of  the  divil  in  her  and  a  belief  in  things  .  .  .  probablv 
Santa  Claus  and  fairies.  She  appears  to  be  quite  unconcerned 
about  herself,  the  eminence  she  has  achieved,  the  altitude 
from  which  she  could  look  down  upon  the  lesser  lights. 

A  (if  not  the)  consuming  passion  with  her  is  her  work.    It  is

interesting  to  know  that  she  really  and  absorbedly  loves  it ;  not 
he  resuhf  only,  generally  she  feels  a  dissatisfaction  with  them, 
but  wth  the  work  itself,  the  details  of  it,  the  everyday,  all- 
night  details.  "I  took  a  three  months'  vacation  th>s  ™e; 
she  said,  "or  tried  to  and  after  about  one  ™"th  "early 
went  mad.  'Phoned  the  studio  every  day  and  finally  cut  it 
;  month  short  and  got  back  imo  harness  1  -ould  never 
stand  the  gentle  art  of  doing  nothing.     That  would  be  too 

strenuous  for  me!"  •Ronlah 

We  had  a  plain  chummy  sort  of  an  afternoon,  B^ulah 
Livingstone,  who  does  all  of  Norma's  publicity  and  also  that 
of  wf  sister,  Constance.  Norma  and  I.  There  was  only  one 
tentatively  uneasy  person  present.  That  person  was  Beulah 
Livingstone.  She  had  "arranged"  the  mtervievv  and  she 
was  immensely  anxious  that  the  mterviewee  and  likewise 
the  interviewer  should,  as  it  were,  come  up  to  scratch,  buch 
did  not  seem  to  her  to  be  the  case.  What  possible  press- 
value  could  result  from  two  giggling  people  who  seemed  to 
be  saying  nothing  more  pertinent  than  admissions  of  jond- 
ness  for  the  same  brand  of  cigaret,  for  "hen  parties  and 
for  certain  unimportant  persons  having  nothing  to  do  with 
the  intensive  field  of  interviewing?  U' hat  mdeed

then  myself,  furtively  and  occasionally,  in  the 
vain  hope  of  turning  the  talk  into  publishable 
channels.  Eventually,  be  it  said,  she,  too, 
succumbed  and  we  smoked  and  gossiped  and 
laughed  a  perfectly  good  interview  away. 
Also,  this  is  probably  more  important  to 
me  than  to  anybody,  else,  we  spent.  Norma 
and  I,  several  more  of  the  precious  inter- 
rogative moments  in  comparing  palms,  both 
hers  and  mine  being  equally  wrinkled,  lined 
and  then  crosslined.  "My  child,"  said  Norma, 
with  sagacity,  "you're  going  to  have  a  fear- 
ful life,  all  .sorts  of  weird  and  interesting 
things.  That  is  what  everybody  tells  me." 
We  were  holding  this  frivolous  session, 
be  it  said,  in  Norma's  (I  am  a  realist,  so  it 
has  to  be  Norma  .  .  .  that  is,  she  is  going 
to  censor  this  interview,  so  it  may  NOT  be

Norma  Talmidee  ii  a  "regu-

easily  and  prudishly  shocked. 
She  is  free  -  and  easy  and

even  wager  with  you  she  will  not)  as  I  was  saying 
when  I  interrupted  myself,  the  wholly  desirable  "hen 
party"  was  held  in  Norma's  private  apartment  built  for 
her  and  by  her  in  the  Talmadge  studio.  I  believe  it  is 
the  only  thing  of  its  kind  in  studioivity.  I  may  be 
mistaken,  in  which  event  there  will  be  more  blue-pen- 
cilling done.  This  relieves  me  of  all  strain.  The  apart- 
ment is  delicious,  compact  and  complete,  aside  from 
being  an  innovation.  You  step  from  the  hammering 
and  shifting  and  shouting  and  general  activity  of  the 
studio  into  quite  another  world,  quiet,  tasteful,  apart. 
There  is  a  tiny  entrance  hall.  There  is  a  large  sort  of  a 
main  room,  part  living  room,  part  dressing  room,  which 
is,  of  course,  its  .chief  use.  The  walls  are  a  soft  cream 
effect  and  the  high  windows  are  hung  in  some  sort  of 
effective  cretonne.  There  is  a  mammoth  black  wicker 
dressing  table  topped  by  an  oval  mirror  framed  in  black 
wicker.  There  is  a  comfy  black  wicker  chaise-longue, 
occupied  that  afternoon  by  a  diminutive  and  much- 
beloved  "Pom."  There  are  one  or  two  made-to-be-sat- 
in black  wicker  chairs.  A  broad  window-seat,  uphol- 
stered, runs  beneath  the  cretonned  windows.  There  are 
two  capacious  clothes  closets  containing  sundry  cos- 
tumes. Aside  from  all  this,  there  is  a  complete  little

great  grief  came  with  the  death  of  the  only  real  "cjaddy"  she 
had  ever  known. 

As  she  grew  up  and  became  stronger,  Mar>-  was  taught  to 
ride  the  fine  horses  her  mother  bred.  She  was  afraid  to  take 
the  high  jump,  but  she  would  ner\e  herself  for  it  whispering 
her  mother's  instructions,  "Give  him  his  head  when  he  goes 
down,  pull  him  up  as  he  lands." 

Mary  Maclvor  is  an  old-fashioned  girl,  rich  in  the  tradi- 
tions of  the  South.  She  knows  how  to  do  fine  hand-sewing 
and  can  dam  a  hole  in  such  a  way  that  it  improves  a  frock. 
On  certain  days  o'f  the  week,  her  mother  used  to  have  Mary 
prepare  the  luncheon  and  taught  her  how  it  should  be  served. 
At  such  times  Mary  put  on  a  tiny  cap  and  apron  and  waited 
on  the  table  with  great  formality.  It  was  a  game,  but  it  pre- 
pared the  girl  for  the  home  she  manages  so  gracefully  now. 

"We  had  the  prettiest  wedding !  An  old  friend  of  ours,  in 
Pasadena,  has  a  rare  collection  of  Chinese  works  of  art.  She 
insisted  that  we  should  be  married  at  her  home,  and  we  were. 
We  were  married 
in  a  Chinese  room, 
with  a  low  seat, 
covered  with  hand- 
somely embroid- 
ered draperies 
serving  as  a 
prayer-bench  with 
canopies  overhead 
of  the  same  rich 
materials.  At  our 
engagement  din- 
ner, given  by  Mr. 
Desmond,  every 
one  had  place  cards 
of  Kewpies  sa\e 
Little  Mar>-.  Mr. 
Desmond  turned 
to  the  guests  and 
announced  the  fact 
that  'Mary  gets  an 
Irishman!'"    She

Irishman. 
That  Chinese  box  is  a  veritable 
treasure  house.  It  contains  miniature 
Buddha^,  temples,  sombreros,  furni- 
ture, dishes,  holy-water  fonts,  dice 
that  are  almost  too  small  to  be  seen 
with  the  naked  eye  and  hand-carved 
ivories.  Nothing  is  more  than  an  inch 
long  and  most  of  the  treasures  are  a 
good  deal  smaller.  They  have  been 
sent  to  Mary  from  her  admirers  all 
over  the  world  who  know  her  fad. 

Mary's  biggest  hobby  is — bottles ! 
WTien  she  told  me  about  that.  I  said, 
"Beer  bottles?"  Laughingly  she  an- 
swered, "They're  almost  rare  enough 
now  to  be  saved  as  souvenirs  of  the' 
twentieth  century,  aren't  they?  But 
no,  my  bottles  are  of  all  sizes,  shapes 
and  nationalities." 

.She  owns  a  whiskey  flask  used  by  high-bred 
women  of  the  Gvil  \\'ar  period,  camouflaged 
in  a  peculiar  manner.  It's  of  china^  colored 
and  built  like  a  small  prayer  book,  with  a  hole 
at  the  top  for  a  tiny  cork.  .\  "lady"  of  that 
period  could  carry  this  spiritual  volume  in  her 
muff  without  exciting  suspicion.  It  was  the 
fashion  to  faint  in  1865  and  old  Bourbon  was 
much  in  demand. 

Miss  Maclvor  is  related  to  the  Buchanans 
and  many  other   famous   Southern  families.

On  Vamps 
and  Ingenues 

By  Ethel  Rosemon 


"  T^ROM  the  inginue  with  the 
P  golden  curls,  the  floppy 
hols,  the  short -laaisted 
frocks  and  — and  everything; 
from  the  vamp  with  the  heavy 
eyes,  the  carmined  lips,  the  snake 
glide,  the  Oriental  jewelry  and— 
and  nothing,  ye  gods  of  the 
screen,  deliver  us." 

Dorothy  Green  sat  on  the  edge 
of  the  bed,  swung  one  shppered 
foot  in  midair,  ran  the  comb 
thru  her  bobbed  curls  and  dis- 
cussed the  vamp  "on  and  ott. 
There  was  nothing  of  the  picture 
star  about  her,  everything  of  the 
typical  young  American,  mental- 
ly keen,  phvsically  fit  to  cope  with 
life  The  white  shoulders  that 
fairly  gleamed  thru  the  sheer 
negligee,  the  rounded  arms,  the

peculiar  luster  of  the  dark 
hair  bespoke  joyous,  vibrant 
health.  Keeping  the  ma- 
chinery of  mind  and  body 
in  perfect  order  is  her  main 
object  in  life,  for  with  it, 
she  declares,  you  can  ac- 
complish everything,  with- 
out it,  nothing. 

Dorothy  started  life— her 
moving  picture  life  — as  a 
vamp,  but  she  was  never  tne  type  of  vamp  from 
which  she  prays  to  be  delivered.  In  her  opinion 
there  is  no  state  of  society  in  which  he  shadow 
conception  can  hope  to  fulfill  her^destined  end.

Fictionized  from  the  William  Farnum  Photoplay 
By  OLIVE  CAREW 

'•    A    ND  you  should  have  the  sun  and  moon  to  wear — 

ZA    if  I  were  king — " 

^  The  pen  was  rusty,  the  ink  vile,  the  man  who 
bent  over  the  rude  deal  table  a  scarecrow  figure  in  a 
velvet  doublet  so  bepatched  it  was  hard  to  say  what  its 
original  color  had  been.  His  hair,  dark,  long  and  un- 
kempt, fell  about  unshaven  cheeks  on  which  a  week's 
beard  blurred  the  lines  of  expression,  a  battered  cap, 
adorned  with  a  draggled  cock's  feather  lay  on  the 
bench  beside. 

"If  I  were  king — ah,  love,  if  I  were  king — "  he  read 
aloud  and  his  voice  shook  oddly  in  the  reading,  and 
the  wild,  bright  eyes,  deep-sunken  and  surrounded  with 
the  fine  lines  that  told  a  sorry  tale  in  Life's  handwrit- 
ing were  actually  filmed  with  strange  drops.  For  the 
nonce,  Master  Francois  Villon,  of  unsavory  name,  pick- 
pocket, rhymster,  marauder,  sometime  jail-bird,  emp- 
ty of  stomach,  emptier  of  purse,  was  transported  to 
that  seventh  Heaven  of  the  poet — Inspiration. 

The  Fircone  Tavern  on  the  afternoon  of  a  warm 
June  day  in  the  middle  Fourteen  Hundreds  was  hardly 
such  a  place  as  would  beget  thoughts  of  love  and  royalty. 
Rather  would  one  expect  its  smoke-stained  walls,  its 
atmosphere  of  stale  wine  and  mouldy  cheese  and  un- 
washed humanity  to  spawn  a  litter  of  evil  deeds,  of  foul 
oaths  and  deformed  fancies,  but  the  crew  gathered  be- 
fore the  wide  hearth,  tatterdemalions,  rogues,  girls  of 
the  oldest  profession  in  the  world,  merry  vagabonds, 
all  seemed  happy  and  at  home  as  they  clattered 
mugs  and  cans  of  ale  to  the  accompaniment  of 
brisk  tongue  wagging. 

"Come,  Francois !    Art  dry  as  that  vile 
stuf!  Master  Robin  here  serves  us  for 
bread,"    slim    Rene    de    Montigny 
called  to  the  silent  figure  in  the

ink,  lad  ?  Be  not  so  chary  of  your  sweet 
company !" 

"Leave  him  be,"  said  one  of  the  girls, 
a  slip  of  a  lass  in  boy's  habit,  who  looked 
despite  it  no  more  a  boy  than  stout  Colin 
Cayeux,  sprawling  on  the  floor  at  her 
feet  looked  a  woman ;  "he  wants  none  of 
our  company,  being  in  love  with  his  own. 
Look !"  she  wagged  a  derisive  hand. 
"Canst  not  see  he  has  a  goodly  crowd 
about  him?  There  is  Sir  Villon,  poet  of 
Paris,  and  one  Francois,  gentleman  ad- 
venturer come  upon  evil  days ;  then  there 
is  Francois  Villon.  King  of  the  Cockle- 
shells and  Rogue  V^illon,  known  indiffer- 
ent well  to  the  keepers  of  His  Majesty's 
gaol,  and  there  is  Villon  the  sot.  N'illon  the 
huckster  of  rhymes,  Villmi 
who  has  betimes  an  itch  of 
the  dagger  and  Villon — "

"The  lover!"  tittered  a  full-bosomed  wench  who  seemed 
bursting  with  ripeness  tliru  the  straining  sheath  of  her  bodice; 
"forget  not  his  best  role.  Abbess!  Js  no  other  i'  all  of  France 
can  match  him  at  sweethearting!" 

Tigerishly  the  girl  sitting  on  the  table's  edge,  swmging  one 
shapely  green  clad  leg,  twisted  her  lithe  body  upon  the  speaker. 
"Have  you  been  making  eyes  at  my  man,  minx?  I'll  teach  you 
to  meddle — " 

"Come,  come,"  interposed  the  swinish  landlord,  thrusting 
his  fat  body  between,  "no  hair-pulling!  Settle  your  differences 
outside,  and,"  significantly  looking  about  the  circle  of  emptied 
mugs,  "settle  your  scores  here !  No  excuses,  mind,  in  the  stead 
of  coins  or  you'll  find  a  leak  i'  the  bottom  of  your  glasses 
hereafter!" 

The  crew  of  ragamuflfins  looked  askance  at  one  another, 
and  Jehan.  the  Wolf,  slapped  a  lean  pocket  forlornly.  "Have 
none"  of  you  the  wherewithal  to  appease  this  grasping  ale- 
draper?"  he  whined;  "if  we  would  keep  up  the  dear  habit 
of  eating  and  the  dearer  habit  of  drinking  we  must  find  some 
good  burgher  whose  purse  suffers  from  a  plethora  and  needs 
bleeding." 

Rene  de  Montigny  thrust  his  hatchet  face'  mysteriously  for- 


ward. "Know  you  any  of  you,  Thibault  D'Aussigney,  the 
Grand  Constable?"  he  hissed.  "Ods  blood,  if  'tis  not  he  who 
has  just  entered — the  fellow  in  the  black  cloak  yonder  in  the 
corner,  I'll  dine  on  my  doublet!  There's  no  hiding  that  beak — 
but  what  can  the  Constable  of  France  be  looking  for  in  the 
Fircone  Tavern?" 

"Shall  we  stick  him?"  queried  an  ill-favored  Cockleshell, 
jerking  a  dirty  thumb,  "my  dagger  has  no  objections  to  spilling 
blue  blood  as  well  as  red." 

"Let's  ask  Francoi-s,"  Rene  suggested,  and  approached  the 
figure  sprawled  over  his  writing,  shaking  him  boisterously. 
"Come!  Enough  of  rhyming — can  you  fill  your  belly  with 
rhymes  ?  We  are  hungry,  and  an  ill  world  demands  vile  silver 
in  return  for  food.  Poems  are  good  but  fat  capon,  cheese,  meat 
pies,  pink  ham  and  brown  ale  are  better !"  and  the  rogue's  eyes 
glistened  and  he  licked  his  lips. 

The  figure'  at  the  table  unhooked  itself  and  rose  with  a  ges- 
ture of  brushing  away  cobwebs.  Francois  'Villon  looked  dazed- 
ly about  him,  at  the  sanded  floor,  the  guttering  candles  and  the 
motley  assemblage  turned  toward  him,  looking  in  the  flaring 
and  uneasy  light  like  so  many  hobgoblins,  and  the  light  went 
out  of  his  face  as  tho  extinguished  by  a  cold  gust  of  mem- 
ory. Then,  drawing  back  his  lips,  he  began 
to  laugh  with  no  mirth  in  the  sound. 

"Welladay,  lads  and  lassies,  so  ye  are  hun- 
gry !"  He  struck  a  fantastic  pose,  tattered 
cloak  fiung  back,  palms  on  hips  showing  the 
dagger  and  the  vellum  book  that  kept  strange 
company  in  his  leather  belt,  "that  is  a  fash- 
ion all  Paris  will  soon  follow  unless  our 
straw  King  finds  himself  the  guts  of  a  man 
ere  long !" 

He  would  have  thrust  the  paper  he  held 
into  his  doublet  but  the  Abbess,  leaping  for- 
ward like  a  tigress,  snatched  it  away.  "Let's 
see  to  what  mistress  he  writes  now !"  she 
snarled,  "of  love  that  ever  finds  your  face 
more  fair" — bah !  should  I  be  jealous  of  a 
paper  wooing — I  know  better  ways  of  love 
than  that — eh  Francois?  Eh,  my  little  mon- 
key?" 

Francois  'Villon  unwound  the  arms  she 
flung  about  his  neck  and  put  her  aside  gent- 
ly, with  a  curious  look  of  pity.  "If  I  can- 
not fill  your  stomachs  I  can  fill  your  ears 
with  a  well-seasoned  tale,"  he  promised,  as 
he  took  his  place,  back  to  the  fire,  the  leap- 
ing flames  making  him  a  still  wilder  and 
more  grotesque  figure,  a  knight  of  the  gut- 
ter, a  gallant  of  the  gibbet.  "Hark  then  to 
the  story  of  how  one  Master  Villon  met  with 
the  One  Woman  in  the  World." 

The  Abbess  gave  a  sound  of  rage,  but 
Villon  shook  his  head.  "  'Tis  the  tale  of 
the  moth  that  scorched  his  wings  at  a  star, 
Hugette !"  he  comforted  her.  "  'Tis  not  love 
as  you  understaiid  it  but  rather  something 
else  that  only  the  good  God  understands,  the 
mystery  of  the  ages,  the  riddle  of  the  Sphinx. 
Know,  then,  that  on  Wednesday  last  as  I 
was  strolling — for  my  health  alone! — near 
the  Church  of  Notre  Dame,  watching  the 
good  folk  enter,  suddenly,  I  felt  myself 
caught  up  to  Heaven,  and  I  saw — the  love- 
liest she  alive  beneath  the  sun.  She  saw 
me  no  more  than  the  pave  aneath  her  little 
foot,  but  I  saw  her,  and  I  see  her  now,  and 
I  shall  see  her  in  all  the  dreams  I  dream  till 
it  comes  my  time  to  die !    It  was  not  that 


"I  was  atandinK  near  the  church  of  Notre

her  hair  was  so  much  brighter  than  the  sun, 
or  that  her  eyes  were  bluer  than  the  blue 
overhead,  or  that  her  little  mouth  was  red- 
der_  than  the  roses  in  the  King's  garden ;  it 
was  something  else  —  a  soul  that  peeped 
from  her  eyes,  a  God-knows-what  that  made 
her  the  queen  among  women.  The  sight  of 
her  beauty  hurt  my  eyes,  the  taste  of  her 
beauty  burnt  my  lips,  and  the  ache  of  her 
beauty  troubled  my  heart,  and  she  passed 
me  by,  unseeing  and  entered  the  church, 
and  I  stumbled  away  drunk  with  a  headier 
wine  than  you  have  in  your  rotting  bins. 
Master  Robin.  And,"  he  groaned,  and 
mocked  the  groan  with  a  jangle  of  laughter, 
"I  think  I  shall  be  drunken  with  her  all  njy 
days." 

"Why  didn't  you  follow  her  into  church 
and  get  near  her  in  the  crowd  and  pinch 
her?"  queried  Colin,  sleepily;  "I  like  not 
your  tale,  Francois.  It  has  an  ill  sound  in 
ears  that  ring  with  hunger.  Love!  Balder- 
dash !  Oh,  for  a  roll  of  sausage — "  and  he 
looked  greedily  toward  the  cloaked  figure 
drinking  a  sedate  noggin  in  the  corner. 

At  that  moment,  as  tho  summoned, 
the  figure  rose  and  moved  toward  them. 
"Is  there  among  you  a  braggadocio  ruffian,  a 
loose-tongued  fellow  known  as  Francois  Vil- 
lon ?"  asked  a  voice  from  under  the  conceal- 
ing hat  brim,  "if  so  I  have  a  word  for  him." 

"At  your  service,  good  Cuffin!"  bowed 
Villon,  airily.  "Your  description  fits  me  an 
ill  cloak,  and  I  like  not  the  cut  of  it,  but 
never  mind.  Has  your  word  the  ring  of 
metal  ?" 

The  stranger  glanced  about  ths  circle  o 
wolfish  faces,  and  apparently  decided  they 
were  birds  of  a  feather.    "It  has,"  he  an- 
swered surlily,  "the  sound  of  a  thousand 
francs  to  one  who  can  do  a  simple  errand." 

"For  a  thousand  francs,"  smirked  Villon, 
"I  would  carry  a  message  to  the  devil  him- 
self.   Out  with  it,  friend!  What's  to  do?" 

"Only  this,"  said  the  newcomer,  lowering 
his  voice,  "as  you  know,  the  Duke  of  Bur- 
gundy besieges  Paris  and  King  Louis  Do- 
Nothing  sits  idly  by,  willing  his  people 
should  starve.  But  some  there  are  of  us  this 
likes  not,  and  we  want  a  trusty  messenger 
to  carry  word,"  he  regarded  Villon  watch- 
fully, to  Burgundy  that  the  defence  of  the 
city  is  a  pitiful  myth,  that  there  is  no  wall 
but  may  be  carried,  that  the  army  dices,  and 
the  Court  dances  and  there  is  nothing  in  the  way  of  his  enter- 
ing whenever  he  wills !" 

"Ouch !"  Villon  gave  a  sudden  cry  as  if  of  pain  and  clapped 
his  hand  to  his  side;  "I  have  a  cramp — in  my  sword  I  It  needs 
exercise!"  He  drew  it,  and  flourished  it  fantastically  above 
his  ragged  head.  "It  is  a  French  blade,  fellow,  and  thirsty  to 
"drink  the  blood  of  a  traitor!" 

Like  a  frightened  hen,  the  man  in  the  cloak  scuttled  across 
the  room,  and  the  door- erased  him.  A  murmur  of  discontent 
rose  among  the  fellows  of  the  Cockleshell.  "You  fling  away  a 
thousand  francs  glibly,  Francois,"  grumbled  Rene,  "who'd  have 
suspected  you  of  such  a  tender  conscience?  And  what  differ- 
ence does  it  make  to  you  who  sits  on  the  throne  of  France?" 

Villon  sheathed  his  sword.  "  'Tis  a  whim  of  mine,"  he  con- 
fessed, half  ashamedly,  "to  be  loyal.  There's  no  accounting  for 
whims,  but  I'll  not  let  mine  rob  you  of  your  supper.  Come! 
The  good  moon  has  drawn  a  curtain  across  her  window  like  a 
tidy  housewife  and  the  world's  adark.  I  know  a  church  chest 
waits  us,  bursting  with  spoils  pilfered  from  the  pockets  of  the 
•poor.    Let's  be  gone,  what  say  you.  Hearts  of  Gold?" 

It  was  a  windy  night,  the  gusts  rushing  down  the  little 
crooked  lanes,  setting  i  le  shop  signs  creaking,  and  the  lanterns

flaring  overhead.  The  Fellows  of 
the  Cockleshells  slunk  along  the 
streets  like  shadows  cast  by  the 
moon,  and  without  accident  elud- 
ing the  watch,  arrived  at  length 
at  the  church.    "Ods  blood  I"  then  swore  Rene  de  Montigny, 
softly,*  "but  the  fellow's  brought  us  to  the  chapel  of  His  Ma- 
jesty!" 

"Who  better?"  whispered  Villon,  gaily ;  "one  goes  for  riches 
where  riches  are.  Does  o.ne  seek  poultry  in  a  draper's?  To 
work !" 

A  hasp  on  a  window  at  the  side  was  loose  and  Colin,  who 
despite  his  flabbiness,  could  twist  a  bar  of  iron  as  it  had  been 
cheese,  snapped  it  in  two.  Pell-mell  into  the  dark  interior 
hurtled  the  pilferers  with  as  much  ^clat  as  tho  thievery 
were  not  a  hanging  matter,  and  Villon  followed  them.  The 
chest  was  soon  located,  its  contents  distributed  among  the  sev- 
eral jerkins  which  closed  over  the  yellow  meul  cosily.  Then, 
as  they  were  about  to  leave,  Villon  held  up  a  warnmg  hand. 
"Hist!"  he  muttered,  "one  comes!" 

A  gleam  of  a  torch  pricked  the  darkness  of  the  chancel.  The 
intruders  shrank  into  the  shadows  as  a  woman's  figure  rayed

Louis  turned  to.  Villon,

about  witli  a  nimbus  of  liglit  paused  at  the  altar  and  motioned 
the  attendant  with  the  torch  iiway.  "Wait  me  outside,"  said 
a  voice.  Iil<e  the  deep  tones  of  a  bell,  and  hearing  it,  Villon 
gave  a  great  start,  and  forgetful  of  caution  leaned  to  look  down 
at  her.     "God  in  Heaven!"  he  muttered,  "  'tis  she!" 

There  in  the  darkness  the  five  rogues  listened  to  a  woman's 
prayer,  a  prayer  for  the  safety  of  France  whicli  was  dearer  to 
her  than  her  heart's  blood,  a  prayer  that  a  weak  King  might  be 
given  strength — or  "that  a  man  should  come  to  court"  and  rouse 
the  painted  pujijicts  to  be  men.  Only  one  of  the  eavesdroppers 
gave  the  words  inuch  liecd.  chafing  to  b<v  gone  and  taste  the 
sweet  fruits  of  their  thievery.  When  at  last  the  white  figure 
had  trailed  down  the  iiisle.  Rene  de  Montigny  prodded  Villon's 
side. 

"Come,  let's  be  off  I''  he  nuitlcrcd.  "before  anotlicr  wench 
comes  a-prayingi" 

A  ray  of  the  moon,  pryin'.,'  t''iu  a  shutter,  fell  across 
Villon's  face,  showing  it  aflame!  Ills  fellows  stared  curiously, 
as  tho  they  hardly  knew  him,  but  Villon  gave  them  no  heed. 
"A  man  woulrl  come  to  court!"  echoed  N'illon.  with  a  great 
loni;ing  shaking  liis  voice  into  ra^'s  and  tatlers  of  soimd.  "Now 
if  there  be  a  God.  how  Me  must  be  I;iu<;liingl  .\  nincompoop 
upon  the  throne,  nnd  a  .ijiitter  rat  with  the  s])irit  of  a  king!  If  I 
were  the  king  of  France—"  His  head  rocked  liack  on  his 
shoulders,  he  spi^kc  as  one  inspired  in  his  beloved  rhyme — 

"We  want  a  chief  to  bear  the  l)rand — 

And  bid  ilie  damned  Biirguiidians  dance — 
God  I  Where  the  oriflamme  should  stand 
If  Villon  were  the  King  of  France — " 

In  flaming  measures  he  poured  his  heart  into  the  words. 
the  wild,  untamed.  Hcnrt  of  \illon  the  rascal,  beating  beneath 
the  rags  of  shame  ami  terrified  by  the  sound  of  approaching 
feet  his  friends  fled  from  liini,  Oiving  from  the  windows  with 
their  spoils,  bent  on  iaving  their  skin  whole.  In  the  vestibule. 
a  small  crooked  frgurc  in  a  velvet  doublet,  with  silken  hose 
sheathing  his  lean  shanks  liste-icd.  and  smiled  with  wry.  thin 


lips.  "A  braggart,  mouthing  easy  nothings!"  Louis  of  France 
murmured  to  his  entourage,  "still — the  fellow  has  fire  in  him. 
Get  him,  and  bring  hiin  to  me!" 

Dazed,  Villon  saw  himself  suddenly  surrounded  with  pikes 
and  the  flash  of  steel,  he  whipped  out  his  poor  blade  but  too 
late. 

Louis  looked  down  at  the  wretched  huddle  of  limbs  they 
brought  him,  and  laughed  softly.  "An  ill-looking  bird,  but  he 
croaks  like  an  eagle.  Thibault  has  gone  over  to  Burgundy  and 
the  post  of  the  Grand  Constable  is  empty — take  him  in, 'wash 
and  dress  him  in  fme  linen  and  lay  him  on  Thibault's  bed. 
When  he  comes  to  himself  address  him  as  Grand  Constable! 
We  shall  see  whether  he  has  aught  can  match  his  bravery  of 
tongue  I" 

And  so  it  happed  that  on  the  morrow,  Francois  Villon  opened 
his  eyes  upon  purple  draperies  and  tapestried  walls,  upon  servile 
faces  bowing  about  his  bed.  upon  gold  lace  and  velvet  and 
plumed  hat  laid  by  ready  for  his  donning.  "  'Tis  a  monstrous 
fine  dream,  at  any  rate,"  he  murmured,  as  he  was  helped  to 
dress,  "if  I  might  dream  a  few  gold  pieces  in  my  pocket  now — " 

He  thrust  his  fingers  into  the  wallet  at  his  belt  arid  drew  them 
out  full  of  coins.  He  raised  his  eyes  and  beheld  in  the  mirror 
before  him  not  the  scarecrow  figure  of  yesterday,  but  a  gallant 
gentleman,  barbered,  freshly  shaven,  carrying  his  fine  plumage 
easily  and  well. 

"His  Gracious  Majesty  the  King  to  speak  with  the  Grand 
Constable  on  affairs  of  state,"  intoned  a  voice  at  the  door.  The 
small,  crooked  figure  in  black  velvet  waved  his  attendants 
away.  He  regarded  the  transformed  thief,  and  sniggered. 
"Welladay.  my  good  Constable!"  shrilled  Louis,  "I  trust  you 
have  found  all  to  your  taste?  We  are  but  humble  folk  at 
\aucelles:  you  must  overlook  our  failings." 

Villon  fell  upon  shakine  knees  and  touched  his  lips  to  the 
hem  of  the  black  robe.  "Sire !"  he  choked,  "Sire.  I  know  not 
what  to  say  !"  .^ 

"Yet  last  night  you  were  at  no  loss,"  chirped  the  king;  "you 
Ind  a  mouthful  of  fine  words  and  boasts  as  to  what  you  would

do  if  you  were  France's  king!" 
His  tone  grew  sharp,  his  smile 
more  malign;  "I  have  decided 
to  give  you  an  opportunity  to 
make  good  your  words — if  you 
can.  For  one  week  you  shall  be 
the  Grand  Constable  of  France 
in  very  sooth.  You  shall  do  as 
you  will  and  drive  Burgundy 
from  our  gates  if  you  can.  Af- 
terwards," the  thin  lips  sneered, 
the  small  cold  eyes  twinkled  up 
at  him,  "afterwards  your  final 
act  as  Grand  Constable  will  be 
to  pronounce  sentence  of  death 
upon  one  Master  Francois  Vil- 
lon, scapegrace  and  ne'er-do- 
well,  provided  that  in  that  week 
you  have  not  made  good  your 
words  and  won  the  heart  of  the 
Lady  Katherine  of  Vaucelles, 
proudest  lady  of  the  court,  and 
hardest  to  win  !"  The  wry  smile 
became  a  cackling  laugh.  "Egad, 
it  would  serve  Katherine  well 
to  have  flouted  me  and  to  pin 
her  faith  to  this  thing  of  ra^s 
anil    tatters  I''   chuckled    Louis. 

Villon  was  very  white,  but  his 
eyes  glowed.  "Is  that  the  only 
choice.  Sire?" 

"Louis  made  a  contemptuous 
gesture.  "Oh,  no,  you  may  don 
your  vile  rags  and  go  back  to 
your  gutter  this  moment  if  you 
choose  a  longer  lifetime  of  lying 
in  the  mud  rather  than  a  week 
of  sitting  among  the  stars." 

Villon  bent  his  head.  The 
sunshine  was  pure  gold  across 
the  floor  at  his  feet,  the  air  was 
soft  with  roses.  Life  was  very 
sweet  even  to  a  poor  rogue  of  a 
rhymster — yet,  to  play  a  man's 
part  for  a  week — to  be  near  his 
Lady,  to  speak  with  her  as  an 
equal,  to  woo  her  perhaps — 

He  bowed  low.  "I  have  chos- 
en the  week,  Sire,"  he  said 
quietly,  "if  I  cannot  make  good 
use  of  it  I  would  rather  die  than 
live  longer  to  hate  myself." 

Of  the  strange,  wondrous 
days  that  followed,  there  is  no 
space  to  tell.     Francois  Villon, 

Francois    Villon   caught   the 

slim    white    hands    with    a 

great  cry.      "You  would  do 

that  for  me?"  he  asked 


'gutter-born,  found  himself  at  no  loss 
among  the  great  lords  and  ladies  of  the 
court.  F,ven  when  Katherine  of  Vau- 
celles bent  her  shining  head  to  him  and 
spoke  in  the  tone  she  used  toward  the 
king  himself,  his  lips  fell  into  the  courtly 
phrases  of  compliment  anil  badinage, 
tho  his  heart  beat  to  sufTocation  with 
great  joy  and  great  pain.  And  the  hours 
sped  across  tlic  sundial  in  the  castle  gar- 
den, and  still  Burgundy  crouched  with- 
out tile  gates. 

Then  came  a  herald,  bearing  insolent 
word<.  "Surrender  Pnris  or  taste  of  our 


guns!"  Louis  tlie  King  listened,  small, 
weazened  face  inscrutable,  while  the  court 
chafed  under  tlie  insult  of  tlie  message 
and  the  messenger's  bearing.  "My  Grand 
Constable  will  give  you  our  answer,"  said 
the  King,  calmly.  "He  krtovvs  our  heart, 
ant!  our  will." 

Francois  N'ilion  rose  to  his  feet,  in  his 
soul  a  great  humbleness,  in  his  eyes  a 
flame.  He  had  dreamed  always  of  great 
deeds  that  he  would  do.  and  now  great 
deeds  were  possilile  to  him.  He  .spoke 
with  his  lips  to  the  herald,  with  his  heart 
to  Katlierine.  "Go  back  to  your  master!" 


he  bade  the  messenger,  "and  take  him 
this  word  from  the  lips  of  France  Her- 
self. Defiance  for  defiance,  menace  for 
menace,  blow  for  blow  I  This  is  our  an- 
swer"— and  he  drew  his  sword  and  flashed 
it  aloft,  "God  and  Saint  Denis  for  the 
King  of  France !" 

Up  sprang  the  perfuined  courtiers, 
dragging  their  sleeping  blades  from  silk- 
en sheaths,  the  air  was  full  of  their  flash- 
ing and  the  sound  of  cheers.  His  words 
had  burned  away  the  painted  threads  of 
lassitude  that  had  enmeshed  iheir  nian-

««fT  is  like  a  miracle!     I  can  hardly  yet  believe  it. 

I   After  so  many  struggles  with  heavy  odds  against 

me,  to  have  at  last  become  a  director — well,  as  I 

say,  it  is  like  a  miracle !"    And  while  Erich  von  Stro- 

heim  smiled,  the  eyes  remained  serious.    The  memory 

of  those  struggles  is  not  readily  effaced. 

There  is  a  saying  about  the  motion  picture  studios 
that  in  every  life  there  is  at  least  one  good  scenario. 
If  this  be  true,  Mr.  von  Stroheim  has  a  dozen  stowed 
away  behind  those  serious  eyes,  for  during  his  32 
years  he  has  touched  the  dramatic  contrasts  of  life 
that  develops  the  emotional  powers  and  he  has — lived! 

Before  meeting  him  I  had  been  told  that  he  was 
by  birth  Count  von  Strolieim.  of  the  Austrian  nobility, 
his  father  having  been  a  colonel  in  the  Austrian  army, 
and  he  himself  a  graduate  from  the  War  College  of 
that  country  in  1905. 

When  I  asked  Mr,  von  Stroheim  about  these  early 
years  he  shook  his  head,  saying,  "Titles  mean  noth- 
'"g"    }  gave  up  mine  for  I  am  an  American  citizen. 

"This  .American  citizen  had  a  hard  time  during  the 
war,  however,"  he  continued,  as  we  lingered  over  our 
sandwiches  in  the  little  cafe  at  the  Universal  City 
studios.  It  was  long  p.-ist  the  usual  lunch  hour  and  the 
room  was  deserted. 

"My  name,  my  face,  in  fact,  my  whole  Austrian 
make  up  was  against  me.  I  was  shunned  and  disliked. 
At  one  time  I  was  even  under  observation,  but  about 
six  weeks  before  the  armistice  was  signed  I  was  of- 
fered a  commission  in  the  Intelligence  Department  of 
the  United  States  Government.  I  had  served  four 
years  in  the  U.  S.  .\rmy  when  I  first  came  over  ten 
years  ago." 


Erich  Von  Stroheim 
and  the  Miracle 


"Perhaps  it  was  your  splendid  acting  in  the 
role  of  the  hated  German  officer  in  various  pic- 
tures  that   helped   prejudice   the   public,"   I   re-- 
marked.    "I  confess  that  your  subtleties  made  me 
long  to  see  your  punishment  several  times." 

"What  could  I  do?"  he  replied.  "The  moment 
a  director  saw  me  I  was  immediately  cast  in  that 
role.  I  played  it  in  'The  Unbeliever,'  'For 
France,'  'Hearts  of  the  World,'  "The  Hun 
Within,'  and  in  'The  Heart  of  Humanity.'  Prob- 
ably I  could  never  have  given  such  a  villainous 
characterization  in  the  latter  picture  had  I  not 
been  conscious  of  the  hatred  which  every  mem- 
ber of  the  cast  felt  for  me.  I  sensed  their  an- 
tipathy so  distinctly  that  it  was  reflected  in  my 
acting  and  I  put  into  the  role  just  what  they 
were  thinking  of  me. 

"It  was  after  a  disa- 
greeable affair  t  h  a  t  m  y 
father  thought  the  Amer- 
ican climate  w  o  u  1  d  b  e

me  over  for  five  years,  I 
doubt  if  I  shall  ever  go 
back. 
"During  the  y  e  a  r  s  of 


Erich  Von  Stroheim

privation  when  he  firBt 
came  to  America  from 
Austria.  In  those  days 
of  frayed  collars  and 
run-down  heels  he  en- 
gaged in  every  possible 
occupation,  except  bar- 
tender and  waiter

run-down  heels  and  frayed  collar  bands  I  en- 
gaged in  every  possible  occupation,  except 
bartender  and  waiter,  to  keep  from  starving. 
Oh,  yes,  I  was  often  hungry.  I  recall  that  once 
in  New  York  I  didn't  have  one  cent  and  was 
miles  from  my  lodging  in  Brooklyn.  I  stood  by 
a  subway  entrance  determined  to  ask  some- 
one for  a  nickel ;  I  had  frequently  helped 
others,  but  I  didn't  have  the  nerve  and  walked 
home  after  all. 

"Struggles  are  all  right  to  look  back  upon. 
but  so  far  I  derive  little  pleasure  in  contem- 
plating mine,  they  are  still  too  recent  to  have 
gained  any  glamour.  I  came  from  a  fighting 
family,  however,  and  I  fought  my  way  thru 
every  inch." 

Whatever  the  bat- 
tles, Mr.  von  Stro- 
h  e  i  m  has  finally 
emerged  not  only  as 
an  actor  of  subtle 
force,  displaying 
the  rare  ability  to 
sink  one's  personal-

is  playing,  but  he

has  achieved  a  signal  success  as  a  director,  for  his  first 
picture,  "Blind  Husl)ands."  places  this  young  man  among 
the  foremost  directors  of  the  day.  This  may  well  be 
termed  a  personal  triumph  for  not  only  did  he  direct  the 
production  but  he  wrote  the  story,  under  title  of  "The 
Pinnacle."  and  acted  one  of  the  i)rominent  roles. 

"It  was  Mr.  I.acmmle  who  gave  me  my  chance,"  Mr. 
von  Stroheim  replied,  when  1  congratulated  him.  "He 
came  west  just  as  we  were  finishing  'The  Heart  of  Hu- 
manity.' Meeting  him,  I  told  him  what  I  wanted  to  do  and 
he  said  to  go  ahead.  1  still  feel  it  is  a  miracle,  four 
months  ago  I  little  dreamed  my  chance  was  so  near." 

It  was  after  a  series  of  hard.ships  during  which  he  had 
tried  everything,  from  writing  a  vaudeville  sketch  and 
playing  it  on  the  Orpheum  Circuit,  to  being  Life  Saver 
at  Lake  Tahoe  I  with  the  unlucky  number  of  313)  that 
he  broke  into  pictures. 

Being  down  and  out  but  still  determined,  he  walked 
over  to  the  Griffith  studio  in  Hollywood  every  day  for 
two  months  and  waited  around  the  outside,  hoping  to  at- 
tract .someone's  attention. 

One  day  John  Kmerson,  who  was  playing  a  riMe  in  Ib- 
sen's "Ghosts."  stepped  out  of  the  studio  in  his  evening 
clothes  with  a  ribbon  across  his  breast.  "For  the  first 
time  in  my  life  I  was  nervy,"  observed  Mr.  von  .'^trohcim. 
"I  stepped  up.  told  him  my  name  and  asked  if  he  was 
playing  comedy  or  drama.  \\'hen  he  said  drama,  and  that 
the  ribbon  was  a  badge  or  decoration  of  a  Chamberlain. 
I  told  him  it  was  not  correct.  'What  do  you  know  abniu

vith  the  intent 


iiin,  a  director.    I  can  hardly  say  why. 

I  found  him  as  diplomatic 
as    his    appearance    conjec- 
tured. Quite  charmingly  so. 
He  has  a  fine  discrimination  in 
giving  his  point  of  view  and 
in  keeping  it.    He  is  a  man 
pre-eminently  fitted  to  direct 
because    there    is   always   a 
deep  reserve  fund  within 
himself  of  power,  of  thought, 
of  feeling. 

He  is  wholly  void  of  per- 
sonal egotism.     So  much  so 
that  I  found  it  very  hard  to 
keep  him  to  the  topic  of  the 
hour  — himself.     He  talked 
readily  and  engrossingly  on 
many  things— on  the  absurd- 
•ity,  for  instance,  of  the  indi- 
vidual pitting  himself  or  her- 
self against  tradition ;  against 
world-old   laws  and   orders. 
"It  is  inevitable  destruction," 
he  said.  "Take  marriage,  for 
example.      The    scenario    I 
am  doing  now  deals  with  the 
revolt  of   a  woman  against 

st  rerth"ruouUf"o^rse.     What  does. one  case  of  unhappiness 
or  two  or  three,  or  as  many  dozen,  prove?    What  have  you  and  I 
to  do  with  what  has  been  ordained  from  the  begintiing? 

I  had  come  however,  to  hear  him  talk  about  htrruself,  and  if  it  had 
no  Jeen  foMhe  gentle  interpolations  of  Mrs.  Jose  who  sat  sewing  m

a  truly  great  director.     It  is  the  prize  question. 

He  shrugged  his  shoulders,  elevated  his  bro,ys,  threw  up  his  hand 
and  took  a  few  steps  about  the  room  in  what  I  discovered  to  be  a  char- 

acteristic  way.  .  ,   r      '   .     j  St 

"H  I  -^ay."  he  said  finally,  "people  will  think  I  speak  of.  or  A.w.

egotistic.    It  is  better  that  I  do  not  say  at  all. '

The  Cinema  Comes  to  Carleton  ' 


W 


By  HARRIETTE  UNDERHILL 

ULIAM  Carleton,  Jr.,  laid  the  corn  muffin  which  he  was  buttering 
down  on  his  plate,  looked  at  us  seriously  and  said.  "You  are  rieht— 
there  is  I"  '  •  6 

Now  William,  Jr.,  is  a  mild-mannered  man  and  he  is  particularly  fond  oi 
corn  muffins,  so  we  knew  something  untoward  was  egging  him  on  to  this 
display  of  fierceness  and  this  renunciation  of  his  beloved  viands. 

"You  are  right,  there  is  a  fly  in  the  ointment.  I  dont  like  cinema  field 
days — community  acting,  if  you  know  what  I  mean." 

"But  we  dont  know,"  we  murmured,  outwardly  timid,  but  secretly  exult- 
ant, because  we  sensed  a  story.  "What  is  community  acting  ?  Something  to 
inspire  good   fellowship,   like   community  singing?" 

'  Yes,"  answered  Mr.  Carleton,  still  gloomily  regarding  his  neglected  muf- 
fin; "something  like  community  singing,  only  not  so  sweet  and  I  cant  say 
that  it  is  particularly  conducive  to  good  fellowship — in  me,  at  any  rate." 

"And  what  are  cinema  field  days?" 

"The  same,  only  more  protracted." 

And  all  this  because  we  had  inadvertently  asked  Mr.  Carleton  if  there  was 
not  a  single  fly  in  his  syrup  of  contentment. 

"Never  mind,"  w.  soothed,  "you  needn't  tell  us  what  community  acting  is 
,  and  we  can  live  if  we  dont  know  what  cinema  field  days  are.  Dont  excite 
yourself  and  we'll  talk  about  birds  and  flowers." 

"No  we  wont ;  we'll  talk  about  cinema  field  days,"  for  William  Carleton, 
Jr.,  can  be  a  "majerful"  man  when  he  wishes,  ''if  it  wasn't  for  them,  life 
in  front  of  the  camera  would  be  one  sweet  song.  But  people  never  can  be 
induced  to  believe  that  we  make  motion  pictures  because  it  is  our  profession. 
They  firmly  believe  that  we  do  it  for  their  delecta-  ~~ 

tion.    Have  you  ever  made  exteriors  in  a  popular  sum- 
mer resort?    No,  of  course  you  haven't — I  forgot." 

"Well,  you  needn't  be  so  superior,"  we  replied.  "We 
have  had  three  oflers,  but  we  dont  like  to  work  so 
hard." 

"Well,  community  acting  is  when  the  whole  <;om- 
munity  decides  to  take  part  in  the  picture.  Cinema  field 
days  are  those  awful  days  when  mothers  gather  on  the 
site  which  has  been  selected  for  the  exteriors  for  your 
new  picture,  bringing  with  them  numerous  little  Cuth- 
berts  and  Cedrics  who,  they  fondly  hope,  will  be  the 
picture  heroes  of  the  next  generation. 

"You  select  a  nice  secluded  spot  back  of  a  stone  wall 
for  your  dressing  room.  You  find  a  hollow  tree  evi- 
dently placed  there  by  providence  to  be  your  make-up 
table.  You  work  for  an  hour  in  the  sun.  Then  the 
director  will  say,  'AH  ready  for  this  scene !  Carleton, 
your  nose  is  shiny.  Better  touch  up  your  make-up !' 
and  you  rush  away  to  your  nice  secluded  dressing 
room  to  find  an  angel-faced,  flaxen-haired  child  dig- 
ging in  your  box  of  powder  with  a  stick.  His  face 
is  daubed  with  your  grease  paint.  Mamma  sits  nearby 
reading.  You  take  your  cherished  possessions  away 
from  him,  get  out  your  mirror  preparatory  to  holding 
it  up  to  nature  and  proceed  to  touch  up  your  make-up. 
Cuthbert  stands  wild-eyed.  'Mamma,'  he  shouts, 
'come  and  see  the  man  putting  powder  on  his  nose  just 
like  you  do !'  or,  if  you  carry  your  make-up  with  you 
and  hide  it  under  a  stone,  when  you  return  you'll  sure- 
ly find  some  coy  belle  of  '84  in  a  picture  hat  using  your 
powder  puff  and  mirror.     It  never  fails." 

"Poor  dear,"  we  murmured,  "the  subject  is  evidently 
a  painful  one.     Tell  us  some  more." 

"Well,  there  isn't  going  to  be  any  community  acting 
in  'The  Copperhead.'  That  is  the  picture  I  am  work- 
ing in  now  with  Lionel  Efarrymore.  Charlie  Maigne 
has  made  me  a  deputy  shcrifT  and  I  am  going  to  wear  a 
'tin  star'  and  everything  just  like  a  regular  one.  So 
when  the  people  gather  on  the  field  for  the  ceremonies, 
as  they  surely  will — 10,000  strong,  I  suppose,  to  see  a 
real  Barrymore,  I  can  order  them  back  and  flash  my 
badge  and  be  real  impressive," 

"Did  Mr.  Maigne  select  you  as  a  minion  of  the  law 
because  you  are  six  feet  two?"  we  asked.  "And  im- 
portant-looking." (Continued  on  page  70)

Then    as  abruptly  as  poetrv  might  turn  to  prose  and  almost 
as  shockinglv,  he  fell  in  u  ith  .Morrison.     Morrison  was  mere 
man.    He  didn't  know  anvihing  about  negations     You  couUhi  t 
have  established  the  abstract  fact  of  negation  in  his  head  by  any 
sort  of  means.     He  was  utterly  the  positivist.     He  had  a  iias- 
sion    too.     .\  ruling  one.     .\ii  overruling  one      It  was  tor    lis 
trading  brig,  the  "Capricorn."    Morrison  had  been  born  on  the 
Capricorn.    He  had  grown  up  on  her.  with  her,  body  and  soul 
lie  had  got  his  life  and  his  livelihood    from  her.     She  was 
living  tisMie  to  him.     He  had  a  tremendous  sentiment  for  her 
a   f.^eling  composed  of  tissue  and  blood      He  had  sailed  the 
lava  sen  on  her  and  now,  it  seemed,  in  the  port  of  Timor,  be- 
cause he  had  no  cash,  some  irregular       had  been  found  in  his 
oaper.  and  the  I'ortugueM-  otficials  were  going  to  impose  a  hue 
he  couldn't  pav  on  him.  arrest  his  brig  and,  at  the  expiration  of 
the  week,  knowing  the  fine  was  beyon<l  him,  sell  her  at  auction. 
Sell  the  Capricorn  ...    It  was  like  the  sacrilegious  sale,  the 
sacril  ;8i  VIS  public  sale  of  some  beloved  woman  •   ■   ■ 

MorriBon  was  in  the  throes  when  he  ran  into  Heyst.    fie  was 
loo  le'-rijly  in  the  throes  to  take  notice  of  anytlnng  different 


about  ?Icyst.  He  was  just  someone  to  pour  out  his  heart  to 
.  his 'big  heart,  which  was  breaking. 
It  was  a  sort  of  a  vandalism,  after  a  fashion.  Morrison 
was  a  sort  of  a,  no.  distinctly,  a  vandal  of  dreams.  He  thrust 
his  lieavy.  hob-nailed  boot  into  the  delicate  aloofness  of  Heyst's 
absolntci  negation.  He  showed  him  a  bare  heart,  a  rugged 
])iece  of  suffering,  easily  averted. 

Heyst  was  shocked.  Of  course,  he  felt  at  once,  the  Capri- 
corn could  not  be  sold  at  auction.  He  sensed  tbe  tragedy  there, 
immediately.  Sensed,  too,  somehow,  remotely,  the  clamor  of 
resistance  Morrison  was  making. 

Consummately  and  very  delicately,  he  made  it  possible  for 
Morrison  to  pay  his  fine  and  assure  the  safety  of  the  Capricorn. 
He  turned  away  before  the  sight  of  the  big  man's  heaving  ]oy. 
It  was  somehow  cataclysmic.  The  primitive  forces  in  the  man 
slei)t,  or  dozed,  so  close  to  the  surface  that  one  felt  the  sense 
of  ari  upheaval  of  nature  in  his  emotions,  forces     •    •    • 

"I'll  tell  you  what,"  said  Morrison,  after  he  had  released 
Heyst's  sensitive  fingers  from  his  blunted  ones;  "I  cant  do 
enough  for  you.  I  cant,  for  a  fact.  I  ...  but  what  I  can  do 
.  I'll  let  you  in  .  .  .  there's  coal  on  the  island  of  Samburan.

how  I  know.  I've  been  waiting  ...  for  the  right  man.  You  re 
him,  Mr.  Heyst.  You're  him.  You  are,  for  a  fact.  There  s  a 
fortune.  A  fortune.  There  is,  for  a  fact.  Here's  the  de- 
tails. ..."  ,       ,  u 

Three  hours  later,  Heyst  said  all  right.  He  didn  t  know  why 
he  had  said  all  right ;  why  he  had  agreed.  It  wasn't  in  accord- 
ance—it wasn't  in  accordance  at  all  with  the  utter  detachedness 
preached  him  by  his  father.  He  couldn't  see  why  this  huge 
crude  man  should  break  thru  the  delicate,  impalpable,  yet 
very  potent  doorway  between  himself  and  the  rest  of  the  world. 
His  had  been  a  huge  fist  knocking  .  .  .  knocking  smashing 
sorts  of  blows  ...  he  had,  it  seemed,  battened  things  down. 
Heyst  was  conscious  of  a  tingling  in  his  veins.  After  all,  per- 
haps,  outside    the   thick   blue   haze   shot   thru    with   dreamy

there  were  men  who  weiif  immense  tears  over  the  threatened 
loss  of  a  grubby  trading  schooner;  to  whom  these  staple  things 
of  hfc  meant  breathing  and  being.     Odd  sort  of  a  surmise 
but  probably  true  after  a  limited  fashion 

And  then,  it  had  occurred,  even  to  Heyst,'  that  to  dream 
one  must  have  money.  Dreams,  even,  are  quite  costly  One 
must  pay,  it  .seemed,  to  float  about  on  the  South  Seas  watch- 
mg  the  curious  native  life  thru  half-closed  eyes.  This  coal 
mine  of  Morrison's  .  .it  could  be  got  thru  with  and 
then  he.  Heyst,  amply  supplied  for  endless  dreaming  could 
go  back    ...  M 

But  one  doesn't  go  back,  it  seems   . 

Morris^on  went  to  London  to  float  the  company  and  in  Lon- 
don he  died.  There  was  too  much  fog  there  perhaps— the 
details  were  never  made  very  explicit.  But  he  died  And 
\vhen  Heyst  heard  of  the  big  man's  death  he  felt  precisely  as 
tho  someone  had  given  him  a  crude  rent  with  a  knife  A 
most  unthinkable  thing. 

Before  he  died,  however,  it  seemed  that  Morrison  had.  been 
successful  in  forming  the  company.  Heyst  found  himself 
nominated  manager  and  with  the  mushroom  growth  of  such 
enterprises  coolies  were  imported,  engineers  arrived  from  Lon- 
don, bungalows  sprang  up,  a  gallery  was  driven  into  the  pro- 
ductive hill.side  and  coal  in  vast  ([uantities  was  taken  out 
Heyst  had  felt  quite  excited  up  to  the  actual  time  of  the  min- 
ing. There  was  something,  he  thought,  in  the  nature  of  a 
gigantic  dream  about  it  all.  He  felt  detached  from  it,  in- 
terested, immensely  interested,  but  as  a  spectator.  He  missed 
Morrison.  Morrison  had  a  fresh  salt  tang.  There  had  been 
an  invigoration  to  Morrison  powerful  enough  to  pierce  the  veil 
of  Heyst's  dreaming.  Now  Morrison  was  gone  and  the  old 
lethargy  was  creeping  about  him  again.  His  father  had  been 
right  .  .  .  detachedness  ...  all  this  .  .  .  what  did  it  amount  to? 
Shortly  thereafter  the  company  went  into  liquidation  and 


Heyst  was  left  alone  on  Samburan  with  his  chinaman  Wang 
1  le  was  content  to  slay.  He  had  his  pipe  and  the  biiii-.-ilow 
had  been  fixed  to  suit  him.  He  rather  thought  he  woufd  stay 
on  indefinitely  ...  he  was  at  peace.    On  the  other  islands, 

When  he  had  gone  to  and  from  while  the  mining  was  on  active 
process,  there  had  been  nast'y  talk  back  and   forth.     Schom- 
berg  the  big  Cerman  who  kept  the  hotel  on  Sourabaya   seemed 
absolutely  to  hate  him.     This  seemed  absurd  to  Ilevst     who 
had  never  hated  as  he  had  never  loved,  a  living  soul.  '  Schom- 
berg,    It    seemed,   accused    him,    with    equal    absurdity   of    an 
absurd  thing.     He  had  used  Morrison,  Schomberg  alleged   had 
even  been  responsible  in  some  occult  way  for  Morrison's  death 
I  here  had  been  mysterious  dealings  .  .  .  hidden  wealth  . 
Heyst  laughed  at  it,  silently,  after  his  fashion,  yet  it  was    he

When,  finally,  therq  came  an  occasion  for  him  to  go  to  Soura-

pany ho  had  forgotten  along  with  other  things,  the  dead  Morris-

Heyst's  odd  presence  inflamed  the 
hatred.  Schomberg  wanted  to  talk 
about  it,  wanted  to  plot  and  plan 
about  it,  wanted  to  allay,  it.  He  had

testation    long    enough.      He    was 
parched. 

He  couldn't  talk  to  Mrs.  Schom- 
berg.  The  woman  had  sympathies, 
despicable  trait.  Her  sympathies,  tho,  were  never  for  him, 
for  Schomberg.  For  him  she  entertained  some  sort  of  a 
primitive  passion  which  did  nothing  save  preclude  him  from 
such  other,  infrequent  and  diverse  pleasures  as  might  chance 
his  way.  An  occasional  native,  now  .  .  .  Mrs.  Schomberg  had 
no  sympathies  for  him  .  .  . 

Just  now,  rankling  virulently,  was  the  girl  in  the  Zangiciamo 
Orchestra,  lately  arrived  from  Eastern  ports  and  stopping  a 
few  weeks  at  the  hotel  en  route  for  California. 

The  girl  was  different  from  most  people,  from  almost  all 
the  women  who  came  to  Sourabaya.  She  was  white,  that  was 
one  thing,  dead  white.  She  was  whiter  than  the  whitest  flower 
ever  stjincd  with  native  blood.  And  her  hair  was  like  gold, 
like  the  sun  that  pours  like  heavy  brass,  all  liquid,  over  Soura- 
baya. Her  eyes,  now,  they  were  blue,  sea-blue  and  sky-blue. 
She  wore  a  blue  uniform,  too.  Schomberg  had  a  passion, 
probably  Prussian,  for  uniforms.  This  one  was  a  particularly 
taking  blue  uniform  and  it  matched  her  eyes.  It  was  adorned 
with  copious  brass  buttons  and  considerable  gold  braid.  It 
fitted  her  trimly  and  gave  evidence,  delicately,  of  soft,  very 
young  lines.    She  moved  gently,  too,  and  rarely  spoke. 

It  was  horrible  to  have  the  automatic,  seldom  sympathetic 
Mrs.  Schomberg  perpetually  between  them.  It  was  maddening, 
like  a  red  banner  waved  eternally  before  an  inflamed  bull. 
There  were  so  many  ways  of  disposing  of  automatons  on 
Sourabaya  .  .  . 

When  Heyst  came  he  listened,  tfie  first  night,  to  the  Zangi- 
ciamo Orchestra.  He  didn't  know  why  he  went  in,  and  once 
in,  he  knew  still  less  why  he  stayed  in.  The  discord,  of  course, 
was  quite  obvious,  and  outside  the  sea  was  murmuring,  almost 
restfully  .  .  .  and  there  was  a  low  sky,  all  weighted  down  with 
depending  stars  .  .  .  there  was  a  trade  wind  .  .  .  thickly  spiced 
.  .  .  Heyst  had  felt  a  little  dizzy  .  .  . 


After  the  Zangiciamo  Orchestra  had  done  he  knew  why  he 
stayed.  He  stayed  because  the  very  white  girl  in  the  impos- 
sible uniform  stayed,  solitarily,  on  the  platform,  immediately 
abandoned  by  the  other  members  of  the  Lady  Orchestra  and 
by  Zangiciamo  himsetf.  She  seemed  to  Heyst  to  be  shrinking, 
up  there  on  the  platform.  She  wasn't  looking  at  him,  either. 
On  the  contrary  she  seemed  to  be  trying  very  hard  not  to  look 
at  anybody  at  all,  as  tho  .she  were  fearful  to. 

Of  course,  following  the  absolute  negation,  Heyst  knew  that 
he  should  go  out  at  once,'  lose  himself  in  the  night,  let  it  con- 
sume him.  But  he  had  noticed  her  as  the  Lady  Orchestra 
played,  vaguely,  but  still  .  .  .  she  had  had  a  luminous  quality 
.  .  .  she  had  seemed  to  shine  softly,  faintly,  like  some  fragment 
of  a  fallen,  drifted  moon  ...  It  occurred  to  Heyst  that  she 
was  the  loneliest  thing  he  had  ever  seen.  He  had  always,  here- 
tofore, thought  that  of  himself,  thought  that  indigenous  to 
himself.  It  was  a  new  thought,  wholly  new.  Just  as  Morrison 
had  been  a  new  thought,  Morrison  who  could  weep  and  wring 
tremendous  hands  over  the  loss  of  a  sailing  brig,  run  with 
rats  and  smelling  of  rope  and  tar. 

Heyst  approached  the  girl  and  from  behind  the  bar  Schom- 
berg glared  and  chewed  his  beard,  his  mustache,  his  chin  itself. 

Schomberg  had  had  three  new  guests  the  day  before  and 
until  this  instant  he  had  felt  .some  sort  of  a  clammy  fear  of 
them.  One  gets  fears  of  that  nature  on  the  South  Sea  Islands. 
One  of  the  guests  had  registered  himself  as  Mr.  Jones.  That 
was  simple  and  unfearful  enough,  certainly,  but  Mr.  Jones 
belied  his  name.  He  had  a  horrible  air  of  a  recent  gravel. 
Schomberg  swore  to  his  wife,  pinching  her  the  while  he 
mouthed  his  fears,  that  there  was  the  smell  of  grave-mould 
on  this  Jones.  Ghouls  had  disinterred  him,  avowed  Schomberg 
in  part,  and  he  had  drifted  here.  The  ghouls,  he  thought,  were 
his  two  companions,  Ricardo,  an  ex-seaman  with  a  smell  of 
fresh  blood  about  him,  and  Pedro,  their  Venezuelan  servant 
with  fifty  devils  in  his  eyes  and  a  smile  cruel  enough  to  congeal 
the  blood  Ricardo  might  well  be  expected  to  spill. 

Tonight,   tho,    Schomberg   saw   the   three   horrors  he   was 

fForty-two) 


housing  in  a  different  light.  That  they  were  bent  on  human 
death  he  was  convinced.  Plain  Mr.  Jones  had  been  unearthed 
fron:i  some  unholy  grave  and  now  he.  in  his  turn,  was  about 
to  destroy  and  to  raise  up.  Suppose  that  Schomberg  told  them 
about  Heyst,  over  on  Samburan.  and  about  the  death  of  Mor- 
rison and  the  hidden  treasure.  Suppose  they  left  his  hotel. 
these  somehow  terrible  three,  and  went  to  seek  out  Heyst 
Schomberg  crept  up  to  the  corridor  where  the  three  occupied 
three  lordly  rooms.  He  whisi>eied  tn' them  thru  the  evil 
hours  until  the  dawn,  sickly,  turned  to  bannered  splendor. 
Now  and  again  he  rubbed  his  hands  violently  together  and 
mopped  his  brow.  The  pale  proximity  of  the* plain'  Mr.  (ones 
beaded  him  with  agues  of  cold  sweat. 

The  second  night,  too.  Heyst  waited  for  the  white  girl,  who 
waited,  too.  On  the  second  night  she  talked  to  him.  Oddly. 
he  had  the  dawning  feeling  that  a  human  being  was  talking  to 
another  human  being.  Always,  before  this,  he  had  thought  a 
human  being  was  talking  to  a  shade,  soon  would  sense  this  to 
be  so,  soon  would  chill  and  draw  away. 

Toiiight,  with  this  girl,  it  was  different;  how  he  could  not 
say,  did  not  want  to  say.  She  did  not  draw  away,  either.  They 
walked  on  the  curving  half  moon  of  the  white  beach  along 
the  edge  of  a  lagoon  within  whose  calm  transparent  breast  a 
single  star  shivered,  yet  remained  .  .  . 

She  told  him  about  herself.  Her  mother,  who  wore  a  great 
deal  of  jewelry  and  then  was  kind,  or  who  wore  none  and  was 
rather  terribly  cruel,  who  spent  a  great  deal  of  time  out,  grew 
very  tired  of  walking  .  .  .  pavements  being  hard  ...  Of  her 
father  whose  name  her  mother  was  vague  on  and  so,  in  conse- 
quence, was  she.  He  had  been  a  gentleman  she  said,  her 
mother  had  told  her  she  was  certain  of  that,  as  certain  as  cer- 
tain .  .  .  a  gentleman,  she  could  bank  on  that  .  .  .  that  nebulous 
fact,  it  seemed,  was  alone  substantial  in  an  insubstantial  world 
thru  which  this  child  had  drifted,  white  like  a  fragment  of 
a  moon  .  .  .  Her  mother  had  died,  after  coughing  a  great  deal 
...  somehow  she  had  got  this  job  with  Zangiciamo  .  .  .  and 
she  was  here  and  she  was  very  much  afraid  .  .  .  Zangiciamo 
and  .Schomberg  were  like  two  maddened  dogs,  it  seemed ;  she 


the  pitiful  bleached  small  bone  between  the  pair  of  them  . 
She  didn't  know  .  ,  . 

On  the  third  night  he  waited  on  the  curve  of  the  beach  for 
her.  When  she  came,  she  came  flying.  "Oh.  Jake  me  away 
with  vou  !"  she  begged,  her  breast'  torn  like  the  wings  of  a 
bird,  "take  me  away.  Take  me  away!  I'll  work'  for  you.  I'll 
live  for  you  and  die  for  vou.  I  wont  ever  bother  you,  anv. 
I  wont  ...   I  wont  ..."  ' 

It  was  like,  even  tho  unlike.  Morrison  attain  .  .  .  some- 
thing battening  .  .  .  this  time  .something  soft  ...  it  occurred 
to  Heyst  freshly  that  he  was  a  man  .  .  .  that  the  world  about 
liim  was  made  up  of  two  component  parts  .  .  .  man  and 
woman  .  .  .  fundamentally,  inescapably  .  .  .  and  that  he  was, 
he.  Axel  Heyst,  was  the  man  and  this  white  girl  clinging  to 
him,  was  the  woman  .  .  . 

He  took  her  with  him  to  Samburan,  escaping  that  night,  with 
the  help  of  Mrs.  Schomberg,  only  too  glad  to  be  rid  of  her, 
and  Davidson  who  passed  to  and  fro  on  his  schooner  and  had 
done  sundry  small  services  for  Heyst  in  the  past. 

She  made  a  difference  in  the  bungakjw  on  the  island.  Heyst 
admitted  that  almost  at  once.  It  seemed  to  him,  unobtru- 
sively, as  tho  the  house  were  flower-filled,  even  while  he 
knew  that  it  was  not.  Everything  seemed  softer  and,  at  the 
same  time,  sharper..  He,  himself,  seemed  to  be  somehow  quick- 
ened. Things  were  more  acute,  possessed  more  significance; 
daily  things  such  as  the eatingof  meals, thedrinkingof  tea  before 
dusk,  dinner  by  candle  light.  Heretofore  they  had  been  things 
to  be  got  thru  with,  generally  with  a  newspaper  propped 
before  his  plate.  Now  .  .  .  now  he  liked  to  linger  over  each 
detail  of  each  one  of  them  .  .  .  there  were  her  hands  to  watch,

liidden  behind  her  many  distinct  and  perfect  characterizations.  If  you 
watch  her  closely,  you  niay  see  it  there;  a  persistent  suggestion  of  the

she  had  on  a  different  dress  but  it  was , 
striped,  just  the  same). 

"In  the  beginning  of  the  picture,  I 
was  an  Egyptian  princess.  Nothing 
could  stand  in  the  way  of  my  getting 
anything  I  wanted.  I  could  take  it  or 
liave  it  brought  to  me.  My  will  was 
hw  absolute.  And  then  this  Princess 
died  and  her  mummy  came  to  life  in 
the  present  century.     (In  the  end  it 


The  most  noticeable  thing 
about  Edith  Storey  is  her  sin- 
cerity. She  has  the  most  ex- 
quisite sense  of  humor  and 
her  viewpoint  on  life  is  a  very 
lovely  one,  indeed.  "I  am  a 
regular  tomboy,"  she  ex- 
plains. "My  brother  and  1

turns  out  that  she  was  the  crea- 
ture of  a  dream). 

"Her  su'-rounclit)gs  were  no 
longer  regal,  but  the  princess 
had  not  changed  in  the  least. 
She  wants  to  use  a  certain 
table  as  a  couch.  It  is  loaded 
with  beautiful  things,  but  she 
just  brushes  them  off — (Miss 
Storey  illustrated  with  &  non- 
chalant gesture) — and  orders 
a  bear  rug  that  she  fancies 
brought  to  her. 

"The  sub-titles  were  so 
good,  too. 

"Without  being  in  the  least 
conscious  that  she  is  saying 
anything  unusual,  the  Princess 
remarks  to  her  host,  speaking 
of  his  wife,  'The  Woman  is 
old  and  ugly ;  why  dont  you 
send  her  away  and  get  a 
younger  one?'  A  man  inter- 
feres with  some  little  thing  her 
Highness  wants  done  and  she 
deliberately  attempts  to  stab 
him  .  .  .  But  always  she 
is  possessed  of  a  deep  inward 
sense  of  her  dignity  as  a  prin- 
cess   .    .    .     ." 

Perhaps  the  most  noticeable 
thing  about  Edith  Storey  is 
heri  sincerity.  She  has  a  dry, 
quiet  way  of  talking,  her 
voice  is  low,  rather  "husky" 
perhaps,  and  even  in  tone,  but 
never  monotonous.  She  has 
brown  hair,  with  the  prettiest 
possible  little  wave  in  it,  and 
large  oval-shaped  brown  eyes. 

The  first  thing  you  notice  about 
Edith  Storey  is  her  deep  humani- 
ty. She  has  a  gift  of  fitting  in 
any  scene  or  becoming  one  of 
any  group  of  people  in  any  walk 
of  life.  The  scenes  on  these 
two  pages  show  Miss  Storey  at 
her    California    home 


She  has  the  most  exqui.sitc  sense  of 
luiiiior  and  her  viewpoint  on  life 
is  a  very  lovely  one  indeed, 

"I'm  not  looking  very  far  ahead, 
towards  any  wiilc  or  distant  hori- 
zon." she  said;  "1  like  to  do  the 
tliini;  tlial  is  with  me  now.  in  the 
licst  possible  manner.  I  like  to  keep 
busy.  1  dont  even  like  to  sit  still 
and  read  unless  I  am  doing  it  for 
some  definite  purpose.  I  would 
much  rather  be  outdoors.  I  l('\e

gether again.  1  am  a  regular  tom- 
boy ;  my  brother  and  I  are  the  best 
pals  in  the  world."

Marie:  The  Mystic 


M' 


Three  glimpses  of 
Marie  Walcamp  at 
home  and  motoring. 
Miss  Walcamp,  be- 
fore she  gained  her 
success  on  the  screen 
as  a  daring  cinema 
serial  belle,  was  a 
show  girl  in  musical 
comedy 


By  FRITZI  REMONT 


ARiF.  Walcami'  will  do  any  sort  of  stunt  so  long  as 
she  has  faith  in  her  director. 

And  let  me  whisper:  Marie  is  so  sensitive  to 
thought  transference  that  nobody  working  near  her  dares 
think  anything  that  Marie  isn't  supposed  to  know. 

Now  isn't  that  sensitiveness  queer  in  a  girl  who  is  a 
death-defying,  gymnastic  wonder? 

Miss  Walcamp's  eye.s.  change  color  while  you  talk  to 
her — from  grey  to  hazel,  from  hazel  to  grey.  Everything 
about  Marie  suggests  mysticism.  Her  smile  is  inscru- 
table. No  two  people  know  her  in  the  same  way.  In- 
wardly, she  is  perfectly  sincere,  but  outwardly  she  is  as 
changeable  as  a  chameleon. 

She  may  be  happy  one  moment  and  somberly  reflective 
the  next.  She  isn't  just  exactly  beautiful,  but  her  great 
individuality  marks  her  as  one  having  a  beautiful  soul. 
She  is  reserved  and  likes  to  spend  odd  rr.oments  in  reading 
and  study.  At  night  she  usually  reads  herself  into  a 
sleepy  mood,  then  tucks  the  book  away  under  her  pillow 
so  that  it  can  easily  be  drawn  forth  the  first  thii:<r  in  the 
morning. 

Miss  Walcamp  has  a  great  deal  of  humor.  You  need 
watch  her  smile  but  a  moment  to  be  convinced  of  that. 
She  has  a  large  mouth,  with  perfect  white  teeth,  slightly 
overlapping  on  the  upper  row,  and  that  is  why  Marie  wont 
smile  often  before  the  camera.  Meeting  her  occasionally, 
one  would  not  even  notice  the  slight  irregularity  unless 
Miss  Walcamp  mentioned  it,  for  her  teeth  give  one  only 
the  impression  of  wonderful  strength,  resistance  and  per- 
fect health.  However,  serial  pictures  never  require 
smiles,  so  perhaps  that's  why  the  girl  changed  from 
comedy  to  stunts, 

"Did  you  ever  attend  a  seance?"  I  asked.  I  hadn't 
known  about  the  Anna  Eva  Fay  business  up  to  that 
time,  but  Marie's  mystic  eyes — eyes  which  make  one 
think  of  looking  thru  seven  veils  and  trying  to  pierce 
an  inner  shrine — had  given  me  courage  to  accuse 
her  of  being  a  psychic. 

"Yes.  just  once.  It  was  in  a  town  far  away  from 
here  when  I  was  about  twelve  years  old.  .Mother 
heard  of  a  spiritualists'  meeting  and  decided  that  it 
would  be  interesting  for  us  to  go  and  get  a  'message.' 
if  possible.  I  had  always  a.stonished  her  by  my  sud- 
den hunches,  and  .she  was  more  or  less  interested  in 
psychic  phenomena  anyway,  so  she  mustered  up 
courage  enough  to  take  me.  It  was  her  first  expe- 
rience also. 

"We  sat   in  a  darkened   room.     I   felt  delicious  thrills  of 
expectancy  and  just  a  little  shiver  of  fear.     After  a  silence, 
the  medium  said — and  oh,  oh,  he  was  so  funny,  with  an  im- 
pediment in  his  speech — well,  he  said,  'Thumbuddy  kicked  my 
calvthes  awful  hard  just  then.    Does  anybody  here  weck- 
onize  that  spthirit?' 

"I    forgot    all    about    thrills,    fear,    spirits    and   good 
behavior,  because  the  idea  of  being  kicked  on  the 
shins   was    so   irresistibly    funny.      I    laughed    and 
laughed   until   I   almost   rolled  off  my   chair,   and 
then    it    struck   mother,   too,   and    she   began   to 
suppress  giggles,  and  a  man  asked  us  to  leave — 
and  we  did!     So  my  first  and  last  seance  was  a' 
real   failure  and.  I  never  tried  it  again.     I 
told  mother  I  was  sorry  we  hadn't  behaved 
well,  for  I  did  want  to  see  a  spirit  that  had 
gumption  enough  to  announce  its 
presence  in  such  a  forcible  way. 
I  always  did  admire  people  who 
had  the  courage  of  their  con- 
victions,    no     matter     what 
form  they  took."

Miss  Walcamp's  first 
Blm  work  was  in  a 
Lee  and  Moran  com- 
edy at  Universal. 
Her  first  real  chance 
came  in  the  serial, 
"Patria,"  with  Irene 
Castle.  After  that 
she  did  "Liberty"  for 
Universal 


"Do  you  have  liunclies 
about  getting  hurt  when 
you  do  stunts  ?" 

"Oh,  often.  Last  week,  when  Mr.  Mac- 
Gowan  was  going  to  throw  that  block  of 
wood  at  me,  of  course,  aiming  to  avoid 
actually  hitting  me,  I  said,  'You  are  going 
to  bit  my  head  with  it.'  He  said  he  would 
aim  low  and  never  get  near  my  head.  A 
few  minutes  later  I  was  almost  knocked 
out  by  the  block !  I  guess  that  ought  to  be 
the  other  way  around,  tho."  Again  the 
alluring  smile  brightened  Marie  Walcamp's 
hazel-grey  eyes. 

"Did  you  ever  play  anything  along 
occult  lines?" 

"Well,   you   know   my   coming   into   the 
picture?  M'as  rather  strange.     I'll  tell  you  just  how  I  happened  to  be 
cast  for  Bob  Leonard's  'The  Evil  Power,'  which  was  a  hypnotic  play 
with  a  very  powerful  part  in  it  for  nie.     I  certainly  loved  doing  it. 

"I  was  a  showgirl  with  Kolb  and  Dill  and  had  a  great  admiration 
for  Laura  Oakley,  who  was  their  leading  woman.  Every  night  I'd 
go  to  her  dressing-room  and  watch  her  make  up,  glad  to  get  any 
advice  from  her  as  to  acting  and  the  show  business,  or  ready  to  sit 
quietly  by  and  study  her  if  she  reheansed  anything.  At  that  time 
she  was  working  in  pictures  as  well  as  with  the  comedians  on  the 
stage. 

"One  night  she  suddenly  turned  to  me  and  said,  'Marie,  why  dont 
you  try  for  the  pictures?  I  think  you'd  make  good.  You  have  ex- 
cellent features  for  the  business.'  I  said,  'Oh,  I  dont  know ;  I  hardly 
think  I'd  have  a  chance,  do  you?'  She  replied,  'Well,  nothing  like 
trying.  Come  out  to  Univer.sal  witn  me  tomorrow  and  I'll  introduce 
you.' 

"Next  day  I  accompanied  her  early  in  the  morning  and  was  put 
right  into  a  comedy  with  Lee  and  Moran ;  then  I  had  a  chance  to 
work  for  Mr.  Leonard  in  the  occult  play;  then  two  pictures  with 
Daddy  Turner  and  'The  Village  Blacksmith'  with  Harry  Pollard. 
I  did  a  great  many  dramatic  leads  after  that  with  Otis  T'lrner  and 
Mr.  Pollard. 

"The  first  two  weeks  I  worked  I  earned  ninety  dollars  a  week.     I 
simply  couldn't  believe  it.     You  know  what  the  life  of  a  showgirl 
means     hardly  a  cent  left  for  necessaries,  so  much  goes  for  board

The  Girl  from  Out  Yonder 

Fictionized  from  the  Selznick-Olive  Thomas  Photoplay 

By  Dorothy  Donnell 


"X/OL-  lo^^t  some  of  vour  hair,  and  all  of  your  complexion 

Y    and  one  sandal,"  itemized  Flotsam,  dispassionately.       1 

gues^  that's  all.     Luckily  I  happened  to  be  out  with  the 

lobster  pots."  She  lifted  one  foot  and  scratched  the  ankle  ot 

the  other  with  a  bare  pink  toe  in  a  carefree  manner.    Like  that 

king  of    France   who   replied   to  a 

courtier  venturing  to  criticize  one  of 

his  acts,  "I  am  the  State!"  Flotsam 

might  have  said  "Convention?  I  am 

Convention !" 

Mrs.  Reggie  Elmer,  who  had  spent 
a  very  bad  five  minutes  clinging  to 
an  unstable  lobster  pot  and  wishing 
fervently  that  she  had  been  a  bet- 
ter woman,  giggled  hysterically  and 
made  a  futile  attempt  to  wring  a 
considerable  portion  of  the  Atlantic 
Ocean  out  of  her  salmon  colored 
hair.  "If  you  hadn't  come  along 
when  you  did — "  she  chattered,  "my 
friends  would  have  been  saying, 
'how  natural  she  looks'  in  a  day  or 
so !  I  suppose  I  am  a  perfect  sight — 
you  haven't  a  powder  puflf  about 
you.  have  you?" 

The  young  person  in  the  baggy 

corduroy  breeches  shook  her  curly 

brown  head.    "N  o  p  e.  I 

wanted  to  send  for  one 


out  of  a  Sears  Roebuck  catalog  but  Fardie  wouldn  t  let  me. 
If  you  come  up  to  the  house  you  canhave  some  tlour,  tho. 
.\re  you  a  w:ck-ender  or  a  permanent?"  _ 

Mrs  Elmer  seemed  tn  be  staring  thru  a  lorgnette.  Us 
all  very  well  to  Ir.ve  vour  life  saved,  and  all  that  but  it  does 
put  one  under  obligation  to  such  odd  people  1  'I  beg  your  par- 
don?" she  queried,  frostily,  "if  you  mean  am  I  summer  board- 
er at  the  Point,  no.    That  is  my  yacht  off  the  Reef. 

Flotsam  was  serenely  unconscious  of  bemg  snubbed  1 
thought  I  hadn't  seen  you  at  the  Light,"  she  rejoined,  pulling 
the  fjreat  oars  thru  the  water  with  magnificent  sweeps  of  her 
strong  young  arms,  "we're  one  of  the  sights,  you  know.  All 
the  summer  folks  come  out  to  the  Reef  in  Abe  Barrow  s  motor 
boat  and  .squeal  when  ihcy  climb  up  the  stairs,  and  say  how 
pictures-yiif'  and  'I  suppose  its  frightfully  lonesome  winters, 
and  buy  souvenir  postcards." 

On  the  rocky  ledge  they  were  approaching  two  figures  stood 
looking  out  into  the  dazzle  of  blue  and  gold.  The  one,  sinewy, 
sliehtly  stooping,  with  grizzled  grey  showing  beneath  the  oil- 
skin hat,  waved  his  hand  as  the  dory  swept  about  the  ledge. 
"Thar  they  be!"  he  beamed,  "I  told  ye  my  gal  'ud  find  her. 
She's  the  greatest  hand  to  be  pickin'  up  queer  things  out  of  the 
water,  once  'twas  a  turtle,  and  once  a  devil  fish  and  now  your 

Ma!"  ,.  .  ,       u 

"Aunt  "  corrected  his  companion  with  a  slight  cough.  He 
was  a  handsome,  well-tailored  young  fellow  whom  Captain  Joe 
Barton  had  classified  already  as  "a  city  toff."  Just  now  his 
expression  was  oddiv  compounded  of  anxiety,  amusement  and 
boredom.  Edward  Elmer  was  usually  bored.  He  found  thi 
flavor  of  Life  insipid  to  his  tongue,  as  is  usually  the  plight  o! 
those  who  have  never  wanted  anything  they  could  not  have. 

"Oh   Eddie !"  chattered  his  aunt,  hysterically  as  she  tottereo 
over  the  side  of  the  boat.     "Oh,  Eddie,  it's  a  miracle  I'm  not 
lying  at  the  bottom  of  the  Atlantic!     And  after  all  those  ex- 
pensive swimming  lessons  I  took  too!  But  this  water  was  wetter, 
or  at  least  it  seemed  so— it  behaved  so  oddly— and  I  got  a  punc- 
ture in  one  of  mv  water  wings— oh,  Eddie,  I  have  a  feeling  that 
when  I  get  around  to  it  I'm  going  to  have  hysterics — 
"There,  there,  Tootles!"  her  nephew   soothed  her 
perfunctorily,  patting  her  upon   the  back— the  i-'ifalh- 
ble  masculine  remedy  for  all  feminine  ills  whether  of 
body  or  soul.     But  his  eyes  strayed  undutifuUy  from 
the  sod'cn  salmon  tinted  head  upon  his  .shoulder  to  the 
quaint  little  figure  dragging  the  dory  up  beyond  the 
water  line. 

Flotsam  was  small,  but  her  sturdy  boy  s  attire  gave 
her  a  look  anything  hut  frail.  She  had  crisp  bronze  hair, 
an  audacious  tip-tilted  nose,  a  mouth,  just  a  .shade 
too  large  for  classic  perfection,  not  a  whit  too  large 
for  charm,  and  eyes  that,  from  long  gazing  had  caught 
■,c  color  of  the  sea.  blue  and  gold,  darkening  into  slate 


grey  when  there 
was  a  storm  brew- 
ing. She  gazed  di- 
rectly and  honestly 
at    Edward   Elmer 
without  a  trace  of 
t  h  e  sex-conscious- 
ness which  a  pretty 
girl  usually  shows 
when     meeting     a 
good-looking  man. 
Gasping  and  gig- 
gling,  Mrs.   Elmer 
chattered  out  an  in- 
troduction and  fled 
up  the  rocks  to  the 
shelter  of  the  light- 
house for  her  bath- 
ing suit  was  of  the 
kind  that  is  intend- 
ed for  beach  bath- 
ing, and  likely  t  o 
dissolve  embarrass- 
ingly when  in  con- 
tact with   water. 
Captain  Barton  fol- 
lowed, leaving  t  h  e 
two   young   people 
alone.    Flotsam 
stood  poised  on  a 
peak    of   granite, 
humming    a    little 
song,     apparently 
quite  unaware  that 
Convention  expect- 
ed her  to  make  con- 
versation when  she 
had  nothing  to  say. 
There  was  nothing 
uneasy  about  her  si- 
lence ;  it  was  that 
of    the    sea    itself, 
brooding      without 
revealing  its  s  o  u  1. 

Edward,  who  was  used  to  girls  that  chattered,  girls  that  tit- 
tered, girls  that  flirted,  girls  that  gossiped,  but  not  to  girls  who 
said  nothing  at  all,  found  himself  suddenly  desirous  of  hear- 
ing her  speak. 

"It  was  certainly  deuced  lucky  you  were  out  this  morning." 
he  began,  with  a  smile  intended  to  put  her  quite  at  her  ease, 
a  smile  that  seemed  to  say,  "Dont  be  abashed  by  my  grandeur, 
little  girl.     I'm  awfully  democratic  and  all  that!" 

"Wasn't  it?"  rejoined  Flotsam,  continuing  to  gaze  out  to 
sea  with  unflattering  interest  in  the  fleet  of  fishing  boats  just 
jutting  out  from  harbor.  Devil  take  it,  but  she  was  really  ex- 
traordinarily pretty — rigged  out  in  one  of  Clarice's  gowns  she'd 
be  a  winner.  His  tone  lost  a  trifle  of  its  patronage  and  ac- 
quired deference. 

"Tootles  ought  not  to  go  swimming  in  anything  deeper  than 
a  bathtub,"  he  confided,  "she  loses  her  head  too  easily !  So  you 
live  out  here  on  the  Reef,  do  you?    I  suppose  you  must — " 

"Xo,"  replied  Flotsam,  coolly,  "I  dont  get  lonesome  winters 
at  all.  Yes,  indeed.  I  love  the  ocean.  No,  I've  never  been  to 
Xew  York.  Yes,  I'd  like  to.  I'm  not  your  baby  doll,  thank 
you,  and  I  dont  care  to  row  over  to  the  mainland  some  day 
and  take  a  little  ride  in  your  car." 

Edward  F.lmer  stared  at  the  mutinous  little  face  blankly  a 
moment  then  burst  into  a  roar  of  laughter.  "So  that's  what 
they  say  to  you,  is  it?  Then  I  wont  say  it.  We'll  talk  about 
anything  you  choose,  only  do  let  me  stay  and  talk.  I'd  like  to 
awfully  well,  honestly!" 

Unexpectedly  the  stormy  face  opposite  broke  into  dimples. 
Flotsam  sat  down  on  the  roc!<s  beside  him  with  as  much  grace, 
in  spite  of  her  salt-stained  corduroys  and  clumsy  shoes,  as 
tho  she  wore  organdie  and  patent  leather  pumps.  "Then 
tell  me,"  she  begged  him.  hungrily,  "every  single  thing  you 
know   about    rlollu-s"      Her   tone   quickened,    her   eyes   held 

(Fifliioiu) 


And  so  began,  on  the 
rocks  beside  the  morning 
sea,  the  stsry  that  was  to 
lead  to  other,  stranger 
chapters 


a  light  almost  holy.  "Are 
they  still  wearing  narrow 
skirts?"  breathed  Flotsam, 
"and  tight  sleeves,  and  are 
the  hats  turned  up  or 
down?" 

And  so  began,  on  the 
rocks  beside  the  morning  sea,  the  story  that  was  to  lead  to 
oiher,  stranger  chapters,  as  the  sea  has  other,  somberer 
phases.  It  was  the  first  of  many  talks  they  had,  Edward 
doiiT?  most  of  the  talking,  while  Flotsam  .sat  enthralled, 
listening  to  the  tale  of  a  world  as  remote  from  her  ken  as 
Fairyland. 

"Why  you  allow  it!"  marvelled  Clarice  Stapleton.  with 
the  edge  of  spite  in  her  voice,  "that  common  little  thing 
knows  well  enough  who  he  is  and  how  much  money  he  has! 
Of  course,  I  dont  mean  to  imply  that  Eddie  could  be  so 
ridiculous  as  to  think  of  marrying  her,  but  that  sort  is  danger- 
ous.   Marriage  isn't  the  only  way  to  get  hold  of  a  rich  man's 

money ' 

Mrs.'  Elmer  looked  shrewdly  at  the  speaker.  Morning  was 
always  unbecoming  to  Clarice,  tho  she  was  still  able  to  shine 
under  electricity.  In  the  full,  hard  light  her  face  showed  every 
one  of  the  thirty-two  years — she  only  confessed  to  twenty- 
eight — of  struggle  and  disappointment.  Clarice  had  tried 
(lesjierately  to  marry  alnrost  every  eligible  young  man  she  had 
inet  since  her  debut,  and  the  campaigns  had  left  their  traces  in 
fine  lines  about  her  rather  pale  eyes,  in  a  certain  acidity  of 
vievnoint,  and  drawn  expression  about  lips  that  art  rendered  a 
vivid  Vermillion. 

"She's  young  and  pretty,  you  must  retnember,"  she  remarT<ed 
sweetly,  and  apparently  without  guile,  "even  in  those  outrag- 
eous togs  slit  wears  she  manages  to  look  like  a  little  soubrette 


in  ,.  mu>-.cai  comedy,  and  withal  she's  as  utterly  natural  ad 
unaffected  as  a  wild  rose."  It  was  not  that  Mrs.  Elmer  really 
approved  of  Flotsam  as  a  prospective  niece-m-law,  but— as  any 
feminine  reader  will  uiulcrstand— she  took  tli.stinct  pleasure 
in  making  Clarice  writhe. 

There  were  others  than  those  on  the  yacht  who  regarded 
with  alarm  the  friendship  of  Edward  Elmer,  clubman,  million- 
aire first-nighter  of  all  musical  shows  and  Flotsam— the  Oirl 
( )ut'  Yonder,  the  village  called  her.  Of  these,  one,  Joey  Clarke, 
heavy  of  hand  and  feature,  with  hair  burned  a  strange,  tawny 
rc<l  by  long  davs  of  fishing  under  the  blazing  sun,  was  the  bit- 
terest'. Twenty-nine  was  Joey,  a  hard  man,  his  fellows  called 
him— a  dangerous  man.  He  could  drink  any  other  fisherman 
on  the  coast  under  the  table  without  anything  to  show  for  it 
outwarilly  save  a  tendency  to  smile  and  talk  more  than  when 
he  was  sober.  He  could  strike  with  his  tarry  fist  a  blow  like 
that  of  a  sledge  hammer.  He  could  hate  faithfully— could  love 
bitterly.  .\nd  he  loved  Flotsam  Barton.  There  was  a  burn- 
ing in  his  eyes  when  he  looked  at  her,  a  thickness  on  his  tongue 
when  he  spoke  to  h'  .     ,  ,, 

"Cioing  to  let  the  city  dude  cut  you  out,  Joey."  his  fellow 
fishermen  jibed  as  the  dory  with  Elmer  and  Flotsam  put  out 
from  the  Reef,  "I  hear  they're  as  good  as  promised  a'ready. 
What  gal  who  c'n  have  silk  gownds  and  a  fine  house  in  the  city 
is  going  to  choose  a  fisherman's  shack?" 

To  none  of  (heir  jeers  did  Joe  Clarke  reply  but  his  jaw  had 
an  ugly  set,  and  his  eyes,  under  scowling  brows  smouldered. 
Alone  in  his  three-roomed  shanty  he  considered  possibilities. 
She  had  liked  him  well  enough  before  that  damned  dude  with 
his  silk  socks  and  silkier  words  had  come.  She  would  like  him 
—well  enough,  if  he  should  go.    .\nd  he  should  go. 

"I  could  kill  him,"  Joey  muttered,  and  played  with  the 
thought  for  a  moment,  but  in  the  end  relinquished  it.  "But 
I'm  not  going  to.  I'm  not  hankering  to  spend  the  rest  Of  my 
years  in  jail — or  mebbe  get  kicked  out  o'  life  with  a  dose  of 
iectricity.  But  if  he  stays  much  longer  it'll  be  too"  late — he's 
I'ot  to  go,  but  how — " 

His  great  fist  came  crashing  down  on  the  pine  table,  setting 


MOTION   PICTURE 

the  dishes  chaflering  with  nervousness.  His  lips  drew  nack. 
"Why  didn't  I  think  of  that  afore?"  he  blazed,  "if  that  dont 
.send  h'im  kiting  nothing  will !" 

Edward  Elmer  was  surprised  the  next  morning,  to  see  the 
sliaggy  head  and  lowering  face  of  the  most  unprepossessing 
fisherman  on  the  Cape  rise  over  the  edge  of  the  yacht  to  be 
followed  by  six  foot  two  of  oilskins  smelling  vilely  of  fish  long 
defunct.  "I  beg  your  pardon.  Mister,"  Joey  Clarke  said  sur- 
lily, ''but  might  it  be  as  how  I  could  speak  with  ye,  a  moment  ?" 
But  when  the  desired  permission  was  given  he  seemed  at  a 
loss  how  to  begin.  His  great  hands,  shaggy  with  black  hair 
twisted  his  greasy  cap,  his  eyes  were  fixed  upon  the  far-away 
ledge  of  the  (ireat  Reef  Light.  When  he  did  speak  the  words 
seemed  somehow  wrimg  out  of  himself.  "It's  about  Flot.sam 
Barton.     I've  heard  you're  sweet  on  her — is  that  so?" 

[•Ilmer's  eyes  flashed  dangerously,  but  his  tone  was  level ! 
"I'dont  recognize  your  right  to  ask  such  a  question.  However, 
if  it  is  the  least  interest  to  you  I  am  quite  willing  to  tell  you 
that  I  intend  to  marry  Flotsam.  And  now — if  that  was  quite 
all — "  he  gestured  suggestively  toward  the  gangway,  "it  would 
be  a  pity  to  lose  a  morning's  fishing — " 

Joey  Clarke's  great  hands  worked  silently  with  the  hat,  a 
slov,-,  dreadful  twisting  movement  as  tho  he  were  strangling 
something.  "You  cant  marry  her,"  he  said,  "you  cant  marry 
her.     It  isn't  safe — she  comes  from  a  bad  stock — " 

Edward  Elmer  laughed  scornfully,  then,  little  by  little  the 
hiugh  became  mechanical  and  forced  as  his  eyes  studied  the 
other's  face.  "Just  what" — he  wet  his  lips — "just  what  do 
you  mean?" 

"I  mean,"  Joey  Clarke  said  heavily,  with  monotonous  inflec- 
tion, "that  she's  the  daughter  of  a  murderer!  And  what's 
more  Barton  killed  his  own  father.  That's  why  he's  tending 
the  loneliest  light  on  the  coast — to  keep  out  of  the  way  o'  the 
Law !"' 

"You're  crazy,"  stammered  Elmer,  ashy  of  face,  "stark 
crazy !" 

"You  dont  believe  it?"  Joey  pointed  toward  the  Reef,  wtiite 
in  the  sunlight.  "Ask  him  then!  He  knows  I  know  it — 'twas 
me  as  found  the  old  man  with  his  head  beat  in  and  him  lying 
in  a  drunk  alongside  with  his  hands — red — " 

Captain  Barton 
touched  the  great  brass 
reflector  with  his  cham- 
ois as  a  mother  touches 
the  cheek  of  a  new-born 
child.  Next  to  Flotsam, 
singing  below  over  her 
housework  he  adored  his 
Light.  It  was  somehow 
a  symbol  to  him,  those 
clear  white  rays  brush-

ing    the    darkness    triumphantly 
away — 

"Captain  Barton  !"  He  turned, 
startled,  then  extended  a  hear- 
ty hand. 

"Mister  Elmer !  I  didn't  hear 
ye,  ain't  you  a  mite  early  this 
mornin?  Flotsam's  down- 
stairs— " 

"I  didn't  come  to  see  Flotsam," 
the  boy  said  tragically.  The  agony 
in  the  young  eyes  searching  the 
tanned  weatherbeaten  face  be- 
fore him  drove  the  smile  from 
the  lighthouse  keeper's  lips.  "I 
came  to  see  you.  To  ask  you — 
this  man  Clarke  here  says  that 
you — Oh,  I  cant  say  it !  He 
must  be  lying — he  is  lying,  isn't 
he.  Captain?" 

The  strength  seemed  to  go 
from  the  gaunt  figure  before 
them.  All  at  once  he  was  an  old 
broken  man,  an  old  frightened 
man  with  quivering  lips  that 
worked  loosely  and  cheeks  that 
twitched.  His  eyes  roved  dully 
from  Elmer's  tense  face  to  Joey 
Clarke's  implacable  one.  "So  he's 
told  ye?"  he  wheezed,  "I've  been 
payin'  him  for  fifteen  year  to 
keep  shet  o'  it.  But — it's  true — 
leastwise  I  s'pose  it's  true — " 

"You  suppose  it's  true?"  the 
boy  snapped  furiously,  "dont  you 
know?" 

"I  was  drunk,"  Captain  Bar- 
ton said,  heavily,  "I  used  to  go 
on  sprees — those  days.  A  n  d  1 
come  out  o'  one  of  them  with  Joey 
here,  shaking  me,  and  hollerin' — 
and  there  was  Pap — andmyclo'es 
all  over  blood — " 

"God !"  said  F.lmer,  and  shrank  away  shuddermg.  Below 
stairs  came  the  sound  of  a  brisk  broom  and  ihe  lilt  of  a  clear 
soprano.  "I  have  heard  the  mavis  singing,  her  love  song  to 
the  morn — " 

"She  dont  know,"  the  father  cried,  as  tho  in  answer  to 
some  unspoken  argument.  "What  makes  you  look  so  queer  like? 
It  ain't  her  fault!  She  ain't  done  nothin',"  he  plucked  feverish- 
ly at  the  boy's  sleeve,  "what  you  turnin'  away  like  that  for? 
You  aint — going — to  leave  her  'count — of  me — " 

"I've  got  to!"  In  the  face  of  Life's  realities  all  the  affecta- 
tions and  artificialities  dropped  away  from  Edward  l''lnier,  and 
he  spoke  with  his  soul  to  the  ear,-,  of  the  other's  soul.  "I  love 
Flotsam — but  I'd  be  afraid,  afraid  hideously,  of  the  taint  in 
her,  afraid  of  what — my  son  would  be  and  do — " 

"She's  good!"  babbled  the  old  man.  "I  wont  never  see  her 
again —if  you'll  take  her  away — I'll  promise  you  vou  wont 
never  hear  of  me!  I'll  give  myself  up,  and  tell  'em  Pap  didn't 
fall  onto  the  cellar  floor  like  they  thought.  I'll — I'll  do  any- 
thin'  you  say.  on'y  dont  break  my  baby's  heart,  dont — " 

"I'm  breaking  my  heart,  too."  But  he  was  turning  away, 
young  shoulders  sagging,  young  lips  stubborn.  "Tell  her  good- 
bye for  me.  I — couldn't  bear — I'll  have  .\unty  leave  before 
another  morning — oh,  Flotsam — " 

Moments,  hours  passed,  and  the  old  man  in  the  Light  tower 
stood  motionless,  then  he  lifted  his  face  to  the  great  blind  blue 
that  showed  thru  the  glass  dome  overhead.  "Help  me  t' 
lie.  God!"  Captain  Barton  praved.  "help  me  t'  have  my  little 
gal." 

Flotsam  gave  a  cry  at  the  sight  of  the  face  he  turned  toward 
her,  but  he  stilled  her  terrified  questioning  with  a  gesture.  "I 
got  to  tell  you  something  that  breaks  my  heart,  baby,"  he  said, 
thru  stiff  lips  that  smiled  dreadfully,  "but  it's  the  on'y  way. 
I'm  not — not  yore  pappy,  not  by  blood — " 

Hours  later.  Captain  Barton  climbed  the  stairs  that  led  to 

(Fifty-three) 


And  he  loved  Flotsam 
Barton.  There  was  a 
burning  in  his  eyes 
when  he  looked  at  her, 
a  thickness  on  his 
tongue  when  he  spoke 
to  her 


the  Light,  holding  desper- 
ately to  the  iron  rail.  H  i  s 
knees  shook  beneath  him, 
his  head  felt  oddly  dizzy 
and  confused,  incapable  of 
thinking  of  anything  but  his 
duty  —  the  Light  that  he 
must  send  out  into  the  swift 
autumn  darkness,  the  Light 
that  must  not  fail  whether  hearts  broke  or  no. 

"First  o'  all  that."  nuuiibled  he,  as  he  dragged  himself  up 
stair  by  stair,  "and  after — I'll  think  o'  Flotsam — an'  the  rest — " 

Out  somewhere  in  the  dusk  he  had  left  her,  palmer's  arm 
about  her.  with  her  face,  half  frightened,  half  sorry,  yet  some- 
how wholly  glad,  turned  to  him  as  he  waved  her  good-bye  and 
dropped  over  the  rail.  The  ethics  of  what  he  had  done  did 
not  occur  to  him.  He  had  denied  his  fatherhood  to  save  her 
happiness,  that  was  all  of  it,  no  more,  no  less.  He  had  told  his 
lie  so  well  that  it  had  pa.-ised  as  truth,  and  he  thanked  God. 
Somewhere  out  there — he  looked  down  upon  the  dark  heaving 
water.s — the  yacht  was  lifting  anchor  to  take  his  little  girl  away 
from  him.  out  into  the  world  where  even  his  thoughts  would 
get  lost  in  trying  to  follow — 

"Th'  Light— it's  pitchy  dark  a'ready."  He  was  working 
feverishly  now.  "Supposin'  it  shouldn't  be  lighted  and  the  boat 
should  go  on  the  rocks!  Where'cl  I  leave  them  matches— (/"orf"' 

For  his  hand,  groping  in  the  thick  darkness  had  touched 
another  hand.  Joey  Clarke's  voice  leaped  upon  his  ears  like 
some  sava?e  animal.  "No  you  dont!  The  Liijht  aint  going  to 
be  lighted  to-night.     Get  me?     It  ain't  (joing  to  be  lighted" 

For  a  moment  Barton  did  not  understand.     He  even  tried 
to  laugh  in  a  forlorn,  helpless  way.  "V'hat  do  you  rnean.  Joey? 
You're  jokin'!     I  got  to  hurry  becaubc  the  yacht 
and  it's  dark — "

yacht  driving  on  the  rocks — Flotsam — 

.Somehow  he  had  staggered  down  the  stairs 
and  into  the  kitchen,  found  matches,  a  can  of  oil. 
"Ju>t  a  minute,  dearie,  I-'ardie's  comin'!"  the 
oid  man  groaned.     He  lifted  a  wooden  chair, 
brought    it   down   upon    the   stove   with  ter- 
rific force  that  nearly  tore  his  arms  from 
their  sm-kets.    I'everishly  he  poured  oil  on 
the   splinters    .Vnother   chair — another — 
cla-ping  the   bundle   of   faggots   in   his 
arm.  he  -taggered  out  into  the  windy 
dark,   and    felt    hi>    way    down    the 
rocks.     F.ven  by  daylight  it  was  a 
hard  path  lo  negotiate,  steep,  with 
unexpcctc<l     pit- 
falls and  ti--ures, 
but  he  panted  on. 
falling,  crawling 
on  his  hands  and 
knee-      Below 
him,  and  strange- 
ly near,  sounded 
the  hiss  of  t  h  e 
water  on  the 
pointed   rocks. 
He  strained  h  i  s 
eyes  and  thought 
he  saw  lights 
moving     thru 
the  darkness — 
"Just   a    min- 
ute,    d  e  a  r  i  e," 
moaned     F  1  o  t- 
.sam's  father,  and 
touched  a  match 
to  the  oil-soaked 

w-ood.  The  flames  streamed  on  the  wind  like  wild  locks  of  a 
Valkyrie's  hair.  Above  him  from  the  darkened  tower  came  a 
«hout  of  fury.  then,  sickeningly  the  sound  of  a  body  hurled 
from  a  great  height  upon  the  rocks— afterward  silence. 

The  torch  flared  higher,  casting  wild  shadows.  In  the  red 
light  of  it  the  old  man's  face  was  hallowed  with  prayer.  "Keep 
her  safe— please  Cxi !  My  baby-keep  her  safe,  please  God  !" 
"Fardie!"  Light  footsteps  ran  across  the  rocks,  and  Flotsam 
w^s  beside  him.  straining  him  to  her  with  strong  voung  arms 
Fardie!  What  are  you  doing'  Dont  look  so.  Fardie;  it's  me 
Flotsam!  I've  come  back,  and  I'm  never 
again !" 

He  conTmued  to  wave  the  torch,  staring  down  at  her  stupidly

ened.     She  pushed  him  gently  down  and  took  the  torch  from 
him,  holding  it  steadily. 

"I'd  rather  be  just  Flotsam.  To-night — when  I  saw  them 
dancing — the  fine  ladies,  in  their  fine  dresses — I  knew  that 
you'd  lied,  and  that  I  was  truly  your  girl,  and  didn't  want  to  be 
anything  else — "  her  voice  broke,  denying  her  brave  words, 
but  she  went  on.  "He  told  me.  Edward — everything.  And  so 
1  came  back  to  tell  you  it  dichi't  make  any  difference  and  I 
loveil  you.  1  rowed  away  while  they  were  dancing.  They'll

Tall   and   handsome    in   his   evening   clothes.    Edward    I'.lmer 
stepped   into   the  golden   ring   of  light,   hands   outlield.   "You 
didn't  suppose  you  could  run  away  from  jiie,  did  you.  dear!' 
They  had  both    forgotten   the  silent   figure  of  the  old 
man,    crouched   among   his    rocks,    and,    looking    from 
young   face   to   young   face   shining   with   a   light   that 
was   not    from   the   dying  torch,   Captain    Barton    rose 
softly  and  stole  away.     Later  there  would  be  things  to 
be  told,  later  he  might  free  his  name  from  the 
taint  that  Joey  Clarke,  lying  somewhere  stark-

The  British  are  protesting  about 
American  bathing  girl  comedies. 
Why  ?  The  bathing  girl  is  the  screen 
prototype  of  the  stage  chorus  girl. 
There  is  no  other  way  to  logically 
introduce  the  flapper  except  as  an 
aquatic  charmer,  hence  the  bathing 
girl  farce.  Why  permit  the  real 
thing  behind  the  footlights  and  pro- 
test at  an  animated  photograph  of  it  i 

Erich  Stroheim  has  been  pur- 
chasing pages  in  the  trade  papers  to 
complain  about  the  way  Universal 
shifted  the  title  of  "The  Pinnacle." 
which  he  wrote  and  directed,  to 
"Blind  Husbands."  It's  about  time 
some  one  took  a  determined  stand

LILLIAN  GISH 
By  Chaplotte  Becker 

A  fairy's  gifts  were  on  her  cradle  shed — 
This  Pierrette  of  the  screen,  whose  happy  wit 
And  dainty  store  of  fancy  exquisite. 

Seems  fragrant  of  old  gardens,  quaintly  spread 

With  tangled  blooms  of  roses,  white  and  red: 
As  with  swift  gleams  of  joy  or  sadness  lit 
Her  winsome,  little,  wistful  gestures  flit 

Thru  pictures  hy  lier  grace  dream-garlanded 

Sparkling  with  youth,  her  charm,  shy,  whim- 
sical, 
Enchanled-wise  sets  memory  astir 
Unto  the  tunc  of  some  forgotten  dance. 
And  leads,  altho  the  leaves  of  autumn  fall. 
Thru  paths  of  rosemary  and  lavender, 
Back  to  that  far-olT  country  of  romance. 


"Aye,  there's  the  rub,"  com- 
ments some  one  on  noting  that  Chris 
Rub  has  been  signed  as  comedian  by 
Universal. 


How  impressive  are  statistics! 
Mary  Pickford's  tabulator  states 
that  Little  Mary  will  make  15  miles 
of  drama  in  1920  and  that  100,000,- 
000  people  will  crowd  theaters  in 
every  land  to  see  her.  The  subtitles 
of  her  plays  will  be  translated  into 
seven  languages,  including  Chinese 
and  Japanese.  We'd  like  to  see 
"Pollyanna"  in  Swedish.

The  Celluloid  Critic 

The  Month's  Photoplays  in  Review 


Two  absolutely  unheralded  photoplays  stand  out  of  our  month  in  the  screen 
theater.  One  takes  its  place  as  a  veritable  celluloid  cameo — and  easily  one 
(if  the  best  pictures  of  the  year. 

riiis  silverscrccn  gem  is  "The  Gay  Old  Dog,"  (Pathe),  based  upon  an  Edna 
Ferber  story.  It  was  adapted — and  admirably  adapted — to  the  films  by  Mrs. 
.Sidney  Drew  and  produced  by  Hobart  Henley.  Since  we  have  long  recognized 
Mrs.  Drew's  ability  to  sound  the  human  note  and  Mr.  Henley  has  heretofore 
been  a  director  of  no  particular  distinction,  we  give  the  major  share  of  the  credit 
to  the  former.  Possibly  we  are  wrong.  Anyway,  there  is  honor  enough 
for  both. 

Now  "The  Gay  (M  Dog."  isn't  dramatic,  hasn't  the  so-called  "punch'' ;  indeed, 
it  violates  most  all  of  what  producers  have  deemed  to  be  photoplay  essentials. 
It  is  just  a  slice  of  life.  It  moves  lei.surely,  without  forcing,  to  its  logical  con- 
clusion. Its  story?  The  bitter  fate  of  one  Jimmy  Dodd,  who,  weighted  down 
by  his  dvinf  mother's  request  that  he  "look  out"  for  his  three  sisters,  sacrifices 
his  own  love  and  hopes  for  his  family.  Then,  as  the  years  pass,  he  finds  himself 
alone  and  loveless  and  he  tries  to  be  a  "gay  old  dog."  But  he  just  cant — and  so 
the  picture  ends  wit!;  the  "gay  old  dog"'  just  a  "tired,  lonely  old  man  in  a  ridicu- 
lous rose- room  gone  suddenly  drab." 

This  brief  summary  does  not  begin  to  reveal  the  direct  humanness  with  which 
Mr.  Henley  and  Mrs.  Drew  have  unfolded  Miss  Ferber's  tale.  If  "The  Gay 
Old  Dog"  doesn't  reach  your  heart — well,  something  is  the  matter  with  your 
heart.  The  tear  is  there,  the  tear  of  a  vital  heart-throb.  We  beg  of  you  to  see 
it,  if  only  to  observe  the  way  thought  can  be  put  across  on  the  screen. 

John  Cumberland,  "the  gay  old  dog,"  has  been  playing  so 
long  before  the  footlights  in   risque  boudoir   farces 
that  we  had  come  to  think  him  just  an  average 
comedian.     But  his  playing  in  "The  Gay  Old 
Dog"  is  superb  in  its  sublety.    The  remainder 
of  the   cast  is  well  chosen.     Indeed,  "The 
Gay  Old  Dog"  is  well  nigh  faultless.    The 
subtitles,   for  instance,  are  gems  of  fine 
screen  expression,  so  rare  these  days. 
The  other  pleasant  surprise  of  the  month 
was     "23p2     Hours     Leave,"     (Para- 
mount),    an     adapted     Mary     Roberts 
Rinehart  story,  which  introduces  a  new 
juvenile  team,   Douglas   MacLean   and 
Doris  May,  to  the  films.     This  is  a  de- 
lightful    comedy    revolving    around    a 
nervy  young  rookie's  love  for  the  daugh- 
ter   of    the    commanding    officer   of    his 
camp.      There    is    a    delightful 
freshness  to  the  handling  and 
scores    of    unforced    laughs. 
Young  MacLean  proves  to  be 
a    very   pleasant   young   come- 
dian   of    whom    we    expect    a 
great  deal.    .\nd  let  us  not  for- 
get the  director  in  giving  credit 
where  credit  is  due. 

.Since  David  Griffith  gave  us 
his  epic,  "Broken  Blossoms." 
we  again  look  forward  to  new 
productions  emanating  from  his 
studios  with  something  of  the 
expectation  we  once  awaited 
his  old-time  Biographs.  Mr. 
Griffith'.s  latest,  "Scarlet  Days," 
(Paramount),  is  a  tale  of  the 
mining  camps  of  '49,  built 
around  a  young  outlaw,  Alva- 
rez, said  to  have  been  a  real 
character  of  California  hi.story. 
There  is  nothing  particular 
about  Mr.  Griffith's  melodra- 
matic opus,  altho  Mr.  Griffith, 
by  a  multitude  of  tiny  touches, 
gets  a  little  closer  to  what  the 

(Fifty-six) 


By  FREDERICK  JAMES  SMITH 


real  pioneers  and  dance-hall  favorites  must  have  hccn.  lUit  ".Scar- 
let Days"  is  distinctive  in  at  least  one  item:  Kichard  Harthelnicss' 
portrayal  of  Alvarez,  a  sensitive,  finely  attuned  romantic  perform- 
ance. Little  Clarine  Seymour  makes  a  Mexican  spitfire  stand  out 
and  Kugenic  P.esserer  j^ives  a  \erv  rommendahlc  presentation  of  a 
grey-haired  mining  camp  hellc. 

That  high-spirited  little  comedienne,  Dorothy  (iish,  is  mil  happy 
in  "Turning  the  Tahles,"  (Paramount),  a  farce  constructed  ahout 
the  effort  of  an  unscru])ul(ius  aunt  to  put  a  young  woman  in  a  sani- 
tarium in  order  to  get  control  of  her  money.  Miss  (iish  has  licr 
moments,  but  the  comedy  itself  is  lame  stuff.     So  is  the  direction. 

More  of  Norma  Talmadge  is  revealed  in  "The  Isle  of  Con<|uest." 
(Select),  than  in  any  vehicle  ue  have  yet  glimpsed.  For  in  it  Miss 
Talmadge  plays  an  unhappily  married  young  wife  cast  ashore  in 
abbreviated  masquerade  costume  U|)ou  a  desert  island  with  a  dash- 
ing stevedore.  Of  course,  she  comes  to  lo\e  him.  belicvin.g  luiliby 
dead,  and  they  are  about  to 
peiform  a  marriage  cere- 
mony of  their  own,  that 
they  may  become  man  and 
wife,  when  a  steamer  a]i- 
pears  on  the  horizon. 
Friend  husband  is  on 
board,  but  he  prom])tly  dies 
of  heart  trouble  and  things 
end  happily  for  the  .sailor 
and  the  widow.  Miss  Tal- 
madge is  ade(|uate  enough, 
aside  from  being  optically 
interesting,  but  "The  Isle 
of  Cont|uest''  is  just  con- 
ventional screen  drama. 

"His  Majesty,  the  .\mer- 
ican,"  (United  Artists),  is 
another  routine  Douglas 
Fairbanks  celluline  cyclone. 
Doug  gymnastics  as  a 
young  Xew  Yorker  who 
gets  involved  in  a  middle 
Europe  revolution  and 
turns  out  to  be  the  heir 
apparent     to     the     throne. 

The  star  dashes  from  mantel  to  balcony  and  from  housetop  to 
window-ledge  with  his  customary  dramatic  power.  In  other 
w-ords,  "His  Majesty,  the  American"  is  just  another  Fairbanks 
comedy  of  the  usual  sort. 

Geraldine  Farrar's  newest.  "Flame  of  the  Desert."  ((ioldwyn), 
does  not  impress  us.  Miss  Farrar  has  the  role  of  a  British  girl 
in  Cairo  during  a  threatened  revolution  of  natives.  She  loses  her 
heart  to  an  .Arab  leader  who  turns  out  to  be  a  British  officer  on 
secret  service.  Lou-Tellegen  is  the  Arab-Iinglishman.  "Flame 
of  the  Desert"  is  a  machine-made  vehicle  and  nothing  more.  It 
has  all  the  careful  photography  aftd  direction  of  (loldwyn  produc- 
tions—and all  their  lack  of  heart  and  imagination. 

Dolores  Cas.sinelli's  "The  Right  to  Lie,"  (Pathe),  is  hectic, 
unreal  stuff.  Miss  Cassinelli  is  seen  as  the  daughter  of  an  Ameri- 
can who  has  innocently  been  guilty  of  bigamy.  He  cannot  reveal 
h.is  first  marriage,  but'does  his  best  to  right  matters,  making  the 
child  his  ward.  Every  one  suspects  a  sordid  relationship  and 
there  are  reels  of  tears  and  emotionalism. 

Constance  Talmadge's  "A  Virtuous  Vamp,"  (First  National), 
is,  despite  the  cheapness  of  its  title,  a  bit  more  amusing  than  Miss 
Talmadge's  recent  vehicles.  An  artless  young  British  society 
belle,  under  an  assumed  nanie.  invades  the  .\merican  business 
world  and  just  cant  help  vamping  every  man  in  sight,  thereby 
upsetting  business  organization  with  every  flash  of  her  smiling 
eyes.  It  is  adapted  from  Ch'de  Fitch's  "The  Bachelor,"  the 
whole  comedy  being  ruthlessly  shifted  from  masculine  to  feminine

The  Riddle  Man 


By  PEARL  MALVERN 


WHEN  I  went  to  "get"  William  Russell  I  went  to  the  Victor 
Studios  somewhere  on  llth  Avenue  and  I  French-heeled 
shakily  over  cobblestones  and  slunk  into  weird  arched  door- 
ways and  around  somehow  sinister  corners.  There  was  the  rankly 
humid  smell  of  docks  and  of  salt  water  against  the  docks,  and  I 
felt  that  I  might  be  in  "Limehouse"  rather  than  on  an  interview. 
There  was  something  distinctly  "dififerent"  about  it  all. 

However,  I  thought,  w^hen  I  get  into  the  star's  dressing-room  I 
shall  be  in  atmosphere  again.  He  will  run  true  to  form,  some 
form  or  other.  Perhaps  he  will  be  tailored,  and  correct  and,  to 
the  eyes,  an  "objet  d'art,"  and  we  will  discuss  his  fans  and  his 
hobbies  and  I  will  kiioiv  that  I  am  on  an  interview. 

Which  only  goes  to  prove  one  dare  not  think  in  tracks  on  any 
man. 

I  found  Bill'  Russell  to  be  quite  in  atmosphere.     Oh,  quite — 
in  Limehouse  and  the  cobblestones.     He  was  tiotliinq  if  not  in 
atmosphere.     Besides  being  Gargantuan  in  build,   which  is  not 
his   fault  but  quite  to  his  attraction-credit,  he  was  attired  in  a 
flannel  shirt  open  at  the  throat,  nondescript  and  very  utilitarian 
There  was  a  tie  bound  round  about  his  brow  and 
he  talked  with  great  difficulty,  having  to  hold  in 
two    recently    displaced    teeth    besides    the    little 
matter  of  enunciating. 

The  two  teeth,  one  of  which  fell  out  upon  the 
floor  with  quite  a  thud  during  the  course  of  the 
subsequent  conversation — I  tell  you  this  to  kill 
suspense — I  wish  mine  might  have  been  as  briefly 
killed — the  two  teeth,  I  say,  had  been  removed 
from  their  moorings  during  a  "scene"  taken  some 
fifteen  minutes  or  more,  or  less,  before  my  tooth- 
some arrival.  Which  is  a  rather  conclusive  proof 
that  when  Bill  Russell  is  before  the  camera  he 
is  not  merely  posturing.  He  fights  his  fights  as 
literally  as  he  would  fight  them  were  he  in  the 
Klondike  or  the  Northwest,  or  Limehouse  or  an> 
section  where  gentlemen  with  giant  builds  make 
pleasant  havocs  of  their  fellowmcn. 

There  is  none  of  the  obvious  about  Rill  Russell. 
He  gets  you  guessing.  You  dont  know  whether 
you're  going  to  like  him,  or  whether  you're  not. 
You  dont  know  whether  he's  .going  to  let  you 
like  him.  He  doesn't  gush.  He  doesn't  pose 
He   doesn't   attitudiiiizc.     There   is  none  of   the 

mummer.      He    has    the   air    of    reflecting    quite   

outside   of   your   being    there   at    all.      He   talks   ^"^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 
quietly  and  it  takes  hnn  some  time  to  warm  up 
to  his  subject.     He  weighs  things.     He  does  not 

speak  lightly  or  glibly.     Just  in  the  beginning  you  begin  to  despair  of  him  as 
"copy."     You  dont  (|uite  know  whnt  to  make  of  it,  of  him.     You  fidget  and 
begin  to  believe  that  you  had  better  go.     Then  yon  find  that  he  is  saying  things 
here  and  there  that  are  immensely  worth  while.     He  is  saying  them  in  a  manner 
of  spe:iking  as  tho  he  were  alone  and  musing  aloud.     You  realize  with  some- 
thing of  a  shock  that  he  had  no  formula  ready  to  spring  on  you.     He  is  just 
talking — is  just  himself.     He  may  and  may  not  have  said  these  same  things 
before.     If  he  has.  he  doesn't  know  it.     It  is  the  thing  ]ie  is  thinking  of  at 
the  moment.     Yon  have  tho  impression  of  something  deep  and  primitive 
of  .some  miglity   force  leashed  up.  of  something  barely  stark  and  ele- 
mental.   It  conies  to  you  that  the  confines  of  llie  drc>siiig-room  are  far 
too  small.     There  is  a  need  of  space  and  then  more  space. 

He  talks  with  a  few  wide  gestures,  with  every  so  often  a  piercing 
look  from  his  eyes  which  are  decp-.set  and  grey.    He  talks  sparsely, 
but  one  g-pts  big  canvases  of  thought  .    .    .   impressions  .    .    . 

He  is  tired  of  stage  life,  he  says.     He  wants  to  travel  the  great 
world  over.     Roam  the  seas  and  blaze  strange  trails  and  climb 
peaks  that  ravage  the  skies.     Tie  wants  a  gootl  comr.-ide  by  his 
side— a  woman     "That  would  be  more  than  half  the  joy  of  it." 
he  said.  (Coiithutcd  nn  pat/c  74)

THE  RIGHT  WAY  TO 
KEEP  YOUR  NAILS 

ALWAYS  PERFECTLY 
MANICURED 


Just  a  little  regular  care  makes 
your' hands  beautiful 


NAILS  like  rosy  pearl  inlaid  in  a  del- 
icate setting — a  setting  of  smooth 
unbroken  cuticle,  a  perfect  curve 
which  repeats  the  curve  of  the  nail  tips. 

It  is  easy  for  anyone  nowadays  to  have 
this  alluring  grace  of  perfect,  nails  and 
cuticle — so  easy  that  people  no  longer 
excuse  the  lack  of  it. 


The  sensitive  nail  root  is  only 
one-twelfth  inch  below  the  cn- 
ticte.  When  yon  look  through 
a  magnifying  glass  yon  sec  the 
unpleasant  results  of  cuticle  cut- 
ting. 


Today  ill  kept  nails  are  as  unpardonable 
as  ill  kept  teeth.  For  it  takes  but  a  few 
minutes  of  regular  care  each  week  to 
keep  your  finger  nails  always  perfect, 
your  cuticle  smooth,  thin,  unbroken. 

Make  some  day  of  the  week  your  regu- 
lar day  for  manicuring.  Then  regularly 
on  this  day  give  your  nails  the  care  they 
need. 

Do  not  forget  that  the  most  important 
item  in  the  appearance  of  one's  nails  is 
the  care  of  the  -cuticle.  Broken  cuticle 
is  like  a  broken  setting  to  a  jewel.  Coarse 
overgrown  cuticle  is  equally  unsuitable. 


Yet  many  people  ruin  the  cuticle  through 
ignorance  of  the  proper  method  of  car- 
ing for  it.  Nn'er  cut  it.  This  is  ruinous. 
The  nail  root  is  only  1/12  of  an  inch 
below  the  cuticle.  When  the  cuticle  is 
cut,  it  is  next  to  impossible  to  avoid  ex- 
posing the  nail  root  at  the  corners  or  in 
some  other  little  place.  The  root  of  the 
nail  is  so  sensitive  that  Nature  will  not 
permit  it  to  remain  uncovered.  The 
moment  a  tiny  bit  is  exposed,  new  skin 
grows  very  quickly  in  that  place  to  cover 
it.  It  grows  much  more  rapidly  than  the 
rest  of  the  cuticle.  This  spoils  the  sym- 
metry of  the  curve  at  the  base  of  the 
nails.  It  causes  uneven  cuticle  and  hang 
nails.  It  gives  a  coarse  ragged  appear 
ance  to  the  border  of  your  nails. 

Realizing  this,  an  expert  set  himself  to 
the  task  of  discovering  a  safe,  effective 
way  to  remove  overgrown  cuticle.  After 
years  of  study  he  worked  out  the  for- 
mula of  a  liquid,  which  gently,  harmlessly 
softens  and  removes  the  surplus  cuticle. 
This  he  called  Cutex. 

Wrap  a  little  cotton  around  the  end  of 
an  orange  stick  (both  come  in  the  Cutex 
package),  dip  it  into  the  bottle  of  Cutex 
and  work  it  around  the  base  of  the  nails, 
gently  pushing  back  the  cuticle.  Instant- 
ly the  dry  cuticle  is  softened.  Wash  the 
hands,  pushing  back  the  cuticle  with  a 
towel.  The  surplus  cuticle  will  disap- 
pear, leaving  a  firm,  even,  slender  nail 
base. 

If  you  like  snowy  white  nail  tips  apply 
a  little  Cutex  Nail  White  underneath  the 
nails  directly  from  its  convenient  tube. 
Finish  your  manicure  with  Cutex  Nail 
Polish.     For  an  especially  brilliant  last- 


ing polish,  use  Cutex  Paste  Polish  first, 
then  the  Cutex  Cake  or  Powder  Polish. 

If  your  cuticle  has  a  tendency  to  dry  and 
grow  coarse,  apply  a  bit  of  Cutex  Cold 
Cream  each  night.  This  cream  was  es- 
pecially prepared  to  keep  the  hands  and 
cuticle  soft  and  fine. 

It  takes  only  about  fifteen  minutes  a 
week  to  give  your  nails  this  complete 
manicure.  Do  this  regularly  and  your 
hands  will  always  have  that  peculiar  at- 
tractiveness which  adds  a  subtle  appeal 
to  one's  whole  appearance. 


To  keep  yot.r  cuticle  a  perfect  jrame  for  your 
nails,  you  must  use  the  right  softening  method.

"The  Proudest  Moment  of 

Our  Lives  Had  Come!" 

"We  sat  before  the  fire  place,  Mary  and  I,  with  Betty  perched  on  the  arm  of  the  big  chair.  It 
was  our  first  evening  in  our  own  home!  There  were  two  glistening  tears  in  Mary's  eyes,  yet  a 
smile  was  on  her  lips.     I  knew  what  she  was  thinking. 

"Five  years  before  we  had  started  bravely  out  together!  The  first  month  had  taught  us  the  old, 
old  lesson  that  two  cannot  live  as  cheaply  as  one.  I  had  left  school  in  the  grades  to  go  to  work 
and  my  all  too  thin  pay  envelope  was  a  weekly  reminder  of  my  lack  of  training.  In  a  year  Betty 
came — three  mouths  to  feed  now.  Meanwhile  living  costs  were  soaring.  Only  my  salary  and  I 
were  standing  still. 

"Then  one  night  Mary  came  to  me.  'Jim',  she  said,  'why  don't  you  go  to  school  again — right  here  at  home? 
You  can  put  in  an  hour  or  two  after  supper  each  night  while.  I  sew,  Learn  to  do  some  one  thing.  You'll  make 
good — I  know  you  will.' 

"Well,  we  talked  it  over  and  that  very  night  I  wrote  to  Scranton.  A  few  days  later  I  had  taken  up  a  course  in 
the  work  I  was  in.     It  was  surprising  how  rapidly  the  mysteries  of  our  business  became  clear  to  me — took  on  a 


new  fascination.  In  a  little  while  an  openmy  came.  I  was  ready  for 
it  and  was  promoted — with  an  increase.  Then  I  was  advanced  again. 
There  was  money  enough  to  even  lay  a  little  aside.     So  it  went. 

*'And  now  the  fondest  dream  of  all  has  come  true.  We  have  a  real  home  of 
our  own  with  the  little  comforts  and  luxuries  Mary  had  always  longed  for,  a 
little  place,  as  she  says,  that  'Betty  can  be  proud  to  grow  up  in.' 

"I  look  back  now  in  pity  at  those  first  blind  stumbling  years.  Each  evening 
after  supper  the  doors  of  opportunity  had  swung  wide  and  I  had  passed  them 
by.  How  grateful  1  am  that  Mary  helped  me  to  see  that  night  the  golden 
hours  that  lay  within." 

In  city,  town  and  country  all  over  America  there  are  men  with  happy  fami- 
lies and  prosperous  homes  because  they  let  the  International  Correspondence 
Schools  come  to  them  in  the  hours  after  supper  and  prepare  them  for  bigger  work 
at  better  pay.  More  than  two  million  men  and  women  in  the  last  28  years  have 
advanced  themselves  through  spare  time  study  with  the  I.  C.  S.  Over  one 
hundred  thousand  right  now  are  turning  their  evenings  to  profit.  Hundreds 
are  starting  every  day. 

You,  too,  can  have  the  position  you  want  in  the  work  you  like  best.  You 
Can  have  a  salary  that  will  give  your  family  the  kind  of  a  home,  the  comforts, 
the  little  luxuries  that  you  would  like  them  to  have.  Yes,  you  can  !  No  matter 
what  your  age,  your  occupation,  or  your  means — you  can  do  it!

hood,  and  where  there  had  been  a  hundred 
coxcombs,  stood  now  a  hundred  soldiers 
eager  to  tight  for  lionor  and  country  and 
king.  Kathcrinc  Vaucellcs  came  swiftly 
up  the  steps  of  the  dais  and  flung  herself 
on  her  knees  before  Villon,  taking  a  rib- 
band from  her  hair,  still  warm. 

"You  will  wear  my  colors,  my  lord 
Constable?"  she  asked  with  a  wonder- 
ful blush,  "and  until  you  come  back  I 
shall  pray  for  you !" 

Louis  looked  down  at  her,  smiling  evilly, 
then  turned  to  Villon,  ".\fter  such  a  con- 
quest methinks  Burgundy  should  be  easy 
for  you,  my  lord  Constable !"  he  sneered. 
"It  is  easier  to  win  a  woman  under  a 
borrowed  name  tlian  wearing  one's  own ! 
I  wonder  how  the  lady  would  answer  the 
love-making  of  one  Master  Francois  Vil- 
lon?" 

The  Grand  Constable  stood  motionless, 
staring  blankly  down  at  the  mocking 
smile  of  the  King,  then  suddenly  he 
groaned  as  tho  the  words  had  been 
daggers  piercing  his  heart.  "I  have  been 
living  in  a  fool's  paradise !"  quoth  Fran- 
cois Villon,  "but  I'll  not  die  with  a  lie  on 
my  lips.  Katherine  !"  he  turned  to  the  girl, 
standing  wonderingly  at  his  side;  "Kate! 
Listen  to  me,  and  loathe  me!  You  have 
known  me  one  week  as  the  Grand  Consta- 
ble of  France,  a  very  gallant  nobleman, 
who  loves  you — better  than  aught  else  un- 
der the  sky."  His  voice  shook,  but  he 
forced  it  on.  "Yet  the  name  is  not  mine, 
this  fine  suit — borrowed,  my  position  here 
at  court  a  whim  of  the  King.  Only  my 
love  is  no  sham,  but  purest  gold.  Lady — 
Lady!  Aside  from  that — "  he  drew  his 
great  figure  proudly  up,  facing  the  court, 
"I  am  a  pitiful  impostor,  a  pasteboard 
nobleman,  known  better  as  one  Francois 
Villon,  wine-bibber,  wastrel — and  worse 
a  sottish  fellow  unworthy  of  any  woman's 
love,  least  of  all  of  yours,  Sweetest  of 
Women !" 

Katherine  Vaucelles  did  not  cry  out, 
nor  shrink  away.  But  in  her  eyes  he  read 
the  horror  of  him,  and  turned  away,  try- 
ing to  smile.  "At  least  I  shall  hope  to 
crown  a  shameful  life  with  a  good  death, 
Sire,"  Villon  said  quietly,  "if  Heaven  is 
kind  I  shall  never  see  tomorrow's  sun !" 
In  the  great  court  of  the  palace  on  the 
morrow  workmen  were  raising  a  stark 
structure,  a  tree  of  evil  fruit,  the  gibbet 
that  loomed,  a  thing  of  dread  in  the 
sweet  yellow  morning  air.  From  the  ter- 
race the  King  looked  down  at  it  smiling 
ironically  at  his  secret  thoughts.  Present- 
ly he  turned  to  Katherine  Vaucelles,  who 
with  the  other  women  of  the  court  stood 
beside  him,  and  his  tone  mocked  her 
white  silence. 

"It  is  a  pity — is  it  not,  Kate,  that  our 
patchwork  Constable  did  not  get  his  wish 
for  an  honorable  death?  But  no  doubt 
you  will  be  glad  to  see  him  dangling  from 
yonder  gibbet  who  dared  make  a  mock 
of  winning  a  great  lady's  love!" 

The  girl  did  not  answer.  She  stood  mo- 
tionless as  the  court  gradually  filled  with 
a  rabble,  eager  to  welcome  the  liberators 


of  Paris  back  again.  Even  when  the  fan- 
fare of  trumpets  heralded  the  victorious 
troops  and  with  Villon  riding  at  their 
head  as  they  entered  the  square,  she  did 
not  lift  the  heavy  lashes  that  hid  her  eyes. 
Very  tall,  very  straight,  Francois  Villon 
mounted  the  steps  of  the  terrace  and  knelt 
to  lay  the  torn  battle  flags  of  Burgundy 
at  the  feet  of  the  King;  then  rising  he 
lifted  his  hand  for  silence. 

".And  now  the  Grand  Constable  of 
France  has  one  more  duty  to  perform," 
said  Francois,  in  a  ringing  voice,  "and 
that  is  to  decree  that  Master  Villon  shall 
be  hanged  from  yonder  gallows  until  he 
is  dead,  for  the  many  sins  that  he  has 
sinned." 

A  great  cry  rose  from  the  crowd,  which 
surged  forward  threateningly,  but  Louis, 
the  King  merely  smiled  his  twisted  smile. 
"Which  of  you  will  die  in  Master  Villon's 
stead?"  he  asked  them,  "and  thus  save 
the  life  you  seem  to  prize?" 

The  murmur  (lied.  Men  shrank  back, 
looking  whitely  into  one  another's  faces. 
Then,  clear  and  high  came  a  woman's 
voice  across  the  sullen  silence,  and  Kath- 
erine Vaucelles  moved  down  the  steps  un- 
til she  stood  at  Francois  Villon's  side. 
"I  will  die  for  him.  Sire,"  she  said  glad- 
ly, "for  that  I  could  not  live  without 
him—" 

Francois  Villon  caught  the  slim  white 
hands  with  a  great  cry.  ".\nd  is  that  so, 
oh  my  dear  Love?"  he  asked  her,  "you 
would  do  that  for  me?"  He  lifted  his 
face  to  the  sky.  "Now  I  thank  thee,  God 
in  Heaven,  that  this  thing  has  come  to 
me !"  He  touched  his  lips  to  the  slender 
fingers  reverently.  "And  now.  Brave 
Heart,"  he  told  her,  "leave  me,  for  a  little 
while,  I  think  that  we  shall  meet  again, 
Kate — beyond  the  stars." 

"If  you  go.  I  go  also,"  said  Katherine, 
lifting  the  crimson  flower  of  her  lips  to 
his,  "but  first,  give  me  my  betrothal  kiss, 
Francois — '' 

Again  the  multitude  moved  forward, 
again  the  voice  of  Louis,  nasal,  faintly 
amused  halted  them. 

"I  have  made  a  great  discovery, 
friends — I  have  found  one  man  whose 
heart  is  pure  gold,  one  woman  whose 
soul  is  all  angel.  I  give  the  man  his  life, 
the  woman  her  lover.  True  man  and  true 
woman — to  each  other's  arms !" 

And  who  would  venture  to  disobey  a 
king?

him  there,  hut  tliat  I  did  know,  for  I  had 
worn  such  a  rihbon  myself.     'All  right,' 
he  said,  'go  ahead  and  get  me  the  real 
thing.' 

"ijorrowing  three  dollars  from  my 
landlady,  Lord  knows  how  much  I  al- 
ready owed  her,  I  bought  the  ribbon  and 
iho  in  the  meantime  Mr.  luuerson 
had  given  up  the  part,  Henry  Walthall 
wore  it.  Later,  Mr.  Emerson  asked  me 
if  I  had  ever  read  'Old  Heidelberg.'  I 
told  him  I  had  seen  its  first  performance 
ill  Vienna  and  knew  much  of  it  by  heart. 
I  nearly  fell  over  when  he  told  me  he  was 
going  to  film  it  and  that  I  was  to  be  his 
assistant  director  as  he  wished  the  details 
to  be  correct.  I  had  been  starving  and 
the  $18  per  week  seemed  a  fortune. 

"Then,  one  day  he  asked  me  how  long 
it  would  take  for  me  to  get  ready  to  go 
to  New  York  with  him.  Thinking  of  my 
limited  wardrobe  of  a  couple  pair  extra 
hose,  a  shirt  or  two  and  a  few  stray  col- 
lars, I  replied  that  about  seven  minutes 
would  do.  Then,  like  a  flash  I  remem- 
bered the  many  debts  I  owed — who  would 
pay  them?  I  told  Mr.  Emerson  about 
them  and  jumping  into  a  car  he  drove 
around  with  me  and  paid  them  all.  Great, 
wasn't  it? 

"Now,  someone  had  borrowed  my  only 
satchel,  so  wrapping  my  few  clothes  in 
a  newspaper  I  started  for  New  York! 
I  stayed  three  years,  returning  for 
'Hearts  of  the  World.' 

"My  opportunity  really  came  becaijse 
of  my  understanding  of  detail — and  I 
am  a  crank  about  this.  Detail  is  the  un-  j 
mistakable  atmosphere  that  places  the 
story  and  there  are  always  many  specta- 
tors who  know  what  is  correct,  we  must 
not  forget  this.',' 

Returning  to  the  big  stage  where  Mr. 
von  Stroheim  is  directing  another  pic- 
ture, we  forget  all  about  the  Past  and 
spent  several  hours  in  a  very  vital  Pres- 
ent. 

After  calling  the  company  together  and 
discussing  a  few  points,  the  work  began. 
"His  Great  Success''  is  a  big  story  con- 
taining an  after-the-war  problem  and  laid 
in  Paris  at  the  present  time.  With  the 
orchestra  playing  the  dreamy  "Je 
T'Aime  Waltz,"  over  and  over,  while  an 
intense  scene  between  Clyde  Fillmore  and 
Una  Trevelyn  was  being  directed,  I  grew 
deeply  interested  in  watching  Mr.  Von, 
(as  he  is  afl^ectionately  addressed  by  his 
company),  for  he  acted  out  the  entire 
scene  in  detail  for  each  one,  rehearsing 
several  times  until  it  was  .satisfactory. 
He  knew  exactly  what  he  wanted  por- 
trayed— subtle  touches,  mere  suggestions 
— which  carry  such  weight  in  the  psy- 
chology of  a  picture. 

"Here  is  a  play,"  said  Mr.  Von  Stro- 
heim, when  the  scene  was  over,  "with  all 
the  allure,  the  vivacity  and  the  lightness 
of  Parisian  life,  with  a  tragedy,  and  it 
must  be  handled  very  carefully  to  express 
the  meaning  desired.  I  try  to  have  the 
scenes  taken  con.secutively,  w-henever  pos-

Prettier  Teeth 

Safer  Teeth— Without  a  Film 

All  Statements  Approved  by  High  Dental  Authorities 


It  Is  Film  That  Mars 
and  Ruins 

It  is  known  today  that  the 
cause  of  most  tooth  troubles  is  a 
slimy  film.  You  can  feel  it  with 
your  tongue. 

That  film  is  what  discolors — 
not  the  teeth.  It  is  the  basis  of 
tartar.  It  holds  food  substance 
which  ferments  and  forms  acid. 
It  holds  the  acid  in  contact  with 
the  teeth  to  cause  decay. 

Millions  of  germs  breed  in  it. 
They,  with  tartar,  are  the  chief 
cause  of  pyorrhea. 

The  film  is  clinging.  It  enters 
crevices  and  stays.  The  tooth 
brush  does  not  end  it.  The  ordi- 
nary tooth  paste  does  not  dissolve 
it.  So  millions  find  that  well- 
brushed  teeth  discolor  and  decay. 


Dental  science,  after  years  of 
searching,  has  found  a  film  com- 
batant. Its  efficiency  has  been 
amply  proved  by  clinical  and 
laboratory  tests.  Able  authori- 
ties approve  it  and  leading  dent- 
ists all  over  America  are  now 
urging  its  adoption. 

A  Free  Test  to  Every 
Home 

This  new  method  is  embodied 
in  a  dentifrice  called  Pepsodent. 
And  a  10-Day  Tube  is  sent  to 
everyone  who  wishes  to  prove  its 
efficiency. 

Pepsodent  is  based  on  pepsin, 
the  digestant  .of  albumin.  The 
film  is  albuminous  matter.  The 
object  of  Pepsodent  is  to  dissolve 
it,  then  to  day  by  day  combat  it. 

But  pepsin  must  be  activated, 
and  the  usual  agent  is  an  acid 
harmful  to  the  teeth.  So  pepsin 
long  seemed  impossible.  But 
science  has  discovered  a  harm- 
less activating  method.  And 
millions  of  teeth  are  now  being 
daily  brushed  with  this  active 
pepsin. 

We  urge  you  to  see  the  results. 
They  are  quick  and  apparent.  A 
ten-day  test  will  be  a  revelation. 
Send  the  coupon  for  the  test 
tube.  Compare  the  results  with 
old  methods  and  you  will  soon 
know  what  is  best.  Cut  out  the 
coupon  so  you  won't  forget,  for 
this  is  important  to  you.

The  Cinema  Comes  to  Carleton— (Continued  fro 

Ho  .elected  me  because  I  feel  so     look  seventy-one  all  right,  bi.t  how  about 

the  twenty,'  I  answered. 

"You  know  the  advertisement,  'Is  she 
twenty  or  eighty?'  Why  didn't  you  con- 
sult them  ?"  we  asked. 

■■Dont  be  tlippant.  It  is  a  serious  sub- 
ject. .\  man  who  was  the  original  'Shade 
of  the  Sheltering  I'alm'  man  in  'Flora- 
dora'  doesn't  look  twenty.  You  know 
that.  But  I  got  busy  and  worked  with 
spirit  gum  and  juvenile  powder  until  I 
had  done  mv  darndest  and  when  I  went 
down  they  all  agreed  that  angels  could 
do  no  more.  So  I  went  back  and  tried 
the  old  man  and  for  my  pattern  I  used  a 
picture  of  mv  revered  grandfather.  He 
was  a  kindly'  soul  and  his  make-up  was 
not  difficult  to  copy.  I  found  it  far  easier 
than  the  other.  My  efforts  met  with  equal 
success,  too,  and  Mr.  Maigne  said  'The 
part  is  yours,'  just  as  tho  I  had  been 
begging   for  it.'" 

"An  incident  that  occurred  in  the  stu- 
dio made  me  think  that  perhaps  I  pos- 
sessed latent  powers  of  make-up  which  I 
never  suspected.  On  my  way  to  the  dress- 
ing room  I  asked  one  of  the  men  in  the 
studio  if  Mr.  Barrymore  had  come  in  yet. 
He  hadn't  so  I  went  upstairs  to  experi- 
ment with  my  juvenile  make-up.  When  I 
came  down  I  asked  again  and  he  said 
'Xo,  he  isn't  in.  Your  father  was  looking 
for  him  awhile  ago.'  Later,  after  I  had 
]>ut  on  the  old  man's  make-up,  I  stood 
talking  to  Lionel  Barrymore  and  the  man 
saw  me  and  said,  'They  have  got  the 
whole  family  in  this  picture,  haven't 
they?'  " 

"How  many  pictures  have  you  made?" 
we  asked. 

"Only  a  half  dozen — no,  not  that,  only 
five." 

"How  does  it  happen  that  you  have 
waited  so  long  to  get  into  pictures?  You 
have  been  such  a  success  and  it  might 
have  happened  long  ago." 

"I  wasn't  ready,"  answered  Mr.  Carle- 
ton.    "I  wanted  to  sing." 

"But,  look  at  Caruso  and  Mary  Gar- 
den and — and  Geraldine  Farrar  !"  we  add- 
ed, hastily,  as  being,  perhaps,  a  happier 
illustration. 

"Yes,  I  know,  but  I  had  inherited  the 
Carleton  voice,  they  said,  and  I  was  sort 
of  expected  to  sing.  Had  been  doing  it 
ever  since  I  was  a  choir  boy  at  the  age 
of  ten.  And  then,  you  know,  I  was  in 
Boston  most  of  the  time  and  in  Europe 
part  of  the  time  and  to  tell  the  truth  I 
never  had  any  particularly  brilliant  offer 
made  me." 

"But  you  certainly  are  a  good  actor  on 
the  screen  and  you  have  that  peculiar 
something  which  has  nothing  to  do  with 
beauty  and  which  is,  to  us,  at  least,  far 
more  essential,  ^^iss  Ferguson  has  it,  too. 
That  is  why  you  arc  so  delightful  oppos- 
ite her.  That  'peculiar  something'  is  what 
some  people  call  'class,'  which  would  be 
a  very  good  word  if  it  were  not  such  an 
overworked  one." 

"Thank  you  for  them  kind  words.  Par- 
ticularly for  'class.'    The  word  does  not 


"No 

strongly  on  the  subject." 

Here  Rubv  de  Kcnier  stopped  at  the  ta- 
ble and  we  presented  Mr.  Carleton.  "Meet 
Miss  de  Kemer."  we  murmured,  just  like 
a  movie  title.  One  of  our  friends  said 
that  nobody  ever  introduced  anyone  that 
way  in  real' life  and  we  are  going  to  prove 
to  him  that  he  is  wrong.  We  do.  That's 
how  devoted  we  are  to  the  cause.  I  f  the 
movies  do  not  talk  like  real  people,  let 
real  people  talk  like  the  movies.  The  ef- 
fect will  be  the  same. 

Miss  de  Kemer  joined  a  party  at  an- 
other table  and  the  waiter  brought  some 
hot  com  muffins  but  it  seemed  as  tho 
evervone  we  knew  was  at  the  Knicker- 
bocker that  day.  As  they  say  in  the  mov- 
ies "came  Robert  Warwick"  and  "came 
Edward  Earle"  and  "came  Percy  >rar- 
niont"  and  to  each  we  said  boldly.  "Meet 
Mr.  Carleton." 

"You  know  them  all,  donl  yuu,"  he 
said,  when  we  had  returned  to  our  muf- 
fins. 

"Oh,  yes  I"  we  assured,  "and  it  is  fas- 
cinating to  go  around  with  them  and  have 
people  stare  at  you.  One  day  when  we 
stopped  to  talk  to  .Mice  Joyce  in  front  of 
Claridge's  the  crowd  got  so  thick  we  had 
to  call  a  traffic  policeman  to  get  us 
thru." 

"You  don't  see  any  such  demonstra- 
tion over  me,  do  you?  I  haven't  made 
enough  pictures  yet  to  become  interna- 
tionally famous." 

"Dont  worry;  anyone  who  saw  you  in 
•The  Society  Exile'  with  Elsie  Ferguson, 
isn't  likely  to  forget  you.  But  the  trou- 
ble with  you  is  no  one  would  recognize 
you.  We  were  all  prepared  for  a  dark 
man  with  a  moustache,  wearing  a  uni- 
form, and  here  you  are — " 

"Dressed  in  tweeds  with  a  smooth 
face  and  also  red-headed.  But,  you  know, 
red  hair  takes  black  on  the  screen." 

"YoUjand  Petrova,"  we  said  musingly. 
"But  you  do  look,  oh,  so  different  in  real 
life." 

"So  it  seems.  I  went  over  to  the  stu- 
dio on  Fifty-sixth  Street  the  other  day 
and  the  boy  at  the  door  held  me  up.  'What 
do  you  want?'  he  said.  'I  want  to  go  to 
work.'  1  answered.  'We  ain't  doing  any 
casting  today.  Come  in  Monday.'  But 
wait  until  you  see  me  in  'The  Copper- 
head !'  I  have  to  portray  a  boy  of  twenty 
and  an  old  man  of  seventy-one.  When 
they  were  casting  the  i)lay  they  told  me 
of  their  quandary  and  asked  me  to  look 
around  for  a  good  actor  who  could  look 
twenty  and  make  up  to  look  seventy- 
one." 
".\  good  actor?"  we  said. 
"Yes,"  answered  William,  Jr.,  "and,  of 
course,  that  let  me  out.  But  1  scoured  the 
country  and  couldn't  find  anyone  who 
wished  to  undertake  the  job.  When  I  re- 
ported this  to  Charlie  Maigne.  he  placed 
both  hands  on  my  shoulders,  looked  me 
straight  in  the  eye  and  said,  'William, 
you  and  I  have  been  friends  for  a  good 
many  years ;  you  must  play  it  I'    'I  can

offend  my  aesthetic  soul  in  the  least,  and 
if  one  must  earn  his  living  (and  one 
must)  there  is  no  more  congenial  way  of 
doing  it  than  by  working  in  front  of  the 
camera.    I  love  the  work." 

"If  it  weren't  for  the  cinema  field 
days,"  said  we,  "and  the  community  act- 
ing," said  he.

DEATH  OF  BILLY  PARSONS.

was  highly  successful  in  the  life  insurance 
business.  It  was  after  fourteen  years  of  suc- 
cess in  that  field  that  Mr.  Parsons  turned  to 
pictures.  His  first  picture,  "Tarzan  of  the 
Apes,"  was  a  big  money  maker,  definitely 
deciding  him  to  take  up  the  screen  in  earnest. 

Mr.  Parsons  was  41  years  old.  He  was 
recently  married  to  Billie  Rhodes.

Marie:  The  Mystic 

(Continued  from  page  49) 
and  ordinary  expenses  and  the  salaries 
arc  so  small.  I  had  hardly  known 
when  I  went  into  pictures  that  there 
was  so  much  salary  in  the  whole  world. 
It  made  me  dizzy  and  I  hoped  and 
prayed  it  would  continue.  They  signed 
me  up  when  the  two  weeks  were  over 
and  I  gladly  turned  my  back  on 
musical  comedy,  one-night  stands  and 
general  discomforts. 

"I  finished  the  last  five  episodes  of 
'Patria'  with  Irene  Castle.  I  wasn't 
in  any  of  the  swimming  or  diving  pic- 
tures. That  was  out  of  the  question 
then,  because  I  hadn't  learned  to  swim. 
My  real  advertising  came  with  Mrs. 
Castle  because  the  film  was  so  much 
discussed  before  it  was  suppressed.  I 
consider  that  my  real  chance.  I  did 
'Liberty'  also." 

"When  did  you  take'  up  swimming?" 
"We  went  to  Hawaii  to  shoot  some 
scenes  and  there  I  met  the  Duke  Ka- 
hanamoku — the  famous  swimmer  of 
Honolulu,  who  personally  instructecj 
me.  When  I  left,  he  gave  me  a  beauti- 
ful ukulele  which  he  had  made  himself 
— one  of  my  treasured  mementoes  of 
a  ha]ipy  holiday." 

"Miss  Walcamp,  did  you  ever  call 
the  Duke  by  his  WHOLE  name?"  I 
had  been  watching  her  spell  it  to  me— 
spellbound,  as  it  were. 

"Why,  of  course  I  did.    Just  like  this 

"     What  I  heard  sounded 

like  a  muffled  alarm  clock  trying  to 
tell  the  hour.  Marie  has  a  deep  con- 
tralto voice,  gaified  by  much  shouting 
over  the  hills  of  the  U's  big  "Back 
Ranch."  She  had  a  shrill  soprano  at 
one  time,  but  while  the  contralto  some- 
times breaks  "on  her,"  Marie  consid- 
ers that  it  is  generally  reliable  for 
classification  in  the  "female  baritone" 
class.  She  seldom  sings  now — the  seri- 
ous business  of  acting  has  taken  up  all 
her  powers  of  concentration. 

"Isn't  it  queer  how  many  players  arc 
doing  serials  just  now  and  making 
good?''  said  Miss  Walcamp,  suddenly 
taking  charge  of  the  interview.  "I 
believe  the  serial  is  the  savior  of  the 
motion  picture  business.  An  exhibitor 
as  well  as  the  producer  has  something 
to  fall  back  on — it's  a  sure  bet.  The 
serials  are  making  money  everywhere. 
Anne  Luther  and  Herb  Rawlinson  are 
doing  splendid  stories  and  there  are 
many  others  who  are  beginning  to  see 
the  advantage  of  holding  public  atten- 
tion. Of  course,  it's  always  the  same 
old  thing,  I  get  chased,  abused,  nearly 
killed,  rescued  in  the  nick  of  time, 
loved,  hated — and  finally  there's  a 
happy  forever  after!  The  stories  are 
much  alike  in  that  respect,  but  the 
pleasure  to  the  actress  is  in  the  many 
new  locations  —  just  think,  next  I'm 
going  to  Japan  to  work  on  a  serial — the 
ingenious  devices  used  and  the  unex- 
pected situations  which  are  quite  as 
entertaining  to  her  as  to  any  audience. 
I  can  hardly  imagine  myself  out  of

CLASSIC 


The  Hidden  Egyptian 

(Continued  from  ftagc  47) 


in  the  service  of  lier  country,  too.  She 
drove  an  amhulance  in  New  Ycjrk, 
meeting  the  ships  as  they  came  in  and 
carrying  woumled  to  various  debarkation 
hospitals.  And,  slie  will  tell  you,  there 
was  nothing  in  the  least  depressing  about 
it.  The  most  tragic  things  someliow  be- 
■  came  beautiful. 

"That  wa.s  when  we  were  all  excited, 
of  course.  When  there  was  no  call  for 
the  ambulance,  I  used  to  go  to  the  hos- 
pitals and  talk  with  the  boys  there.  I 
dont  think  that  they  realized  what  it 
would  mean  to  be  crippled  for  life.  There 
was  one  little  Irishman,  for  instance,  who 
had  lost  both  his  legs.  He  never  grum- 
bled about  that,  but  he  used  to  make  a 
fuss  about  the  most  ridiculously  little 
things — things  you  would  wonder  he 
would  even  think  of  in  the  face  of  his 
big  tragedy.  Yes,  he  was  a  giant  in  big 
things,  this  Irishman,  but  he  was  a  baby 
in  small  ones.  He  used  to  hate  the  hoy 
in  the  cot  next  to  him.  This  boy  had 
twenty-seven  wounds  all  from  shrapnel 
and  had  won  the  Croix  de  Guerre  and 
he  always  insisted  on  havii.g  his  coat 
hanging  on  the  back  of  a  chair  near  his 
bed  so  that  everyone  could  see  the  Croix. 
He  was  kiddish,  too,  this  boy  and  I  sup- 
pose that  that  is  what  got  on  the  nerves 
of  the  Irishman — "  she  smiled  remin- 
iscently,  a  smile  that  grew  into  a  laugh 
and  then  she  explained.  It  seemed  that 
the  Irishman  had  a  habit  of  talking  about 
battles  he  had  never  been  in  at  all,  tho 
he  never  said  a  word  about  the  one  in 
which  he  had  lost  his  legs. 

"And  now  it  is  all  over  and  we  must 
all  begin  living  in  prose  again.  I  hope 
I  get  some  really  big  and  cheerful  stories, 
You  dont  know  how  ditificult  it  is !  Near- 
ly every  scenario  we  get  has  the  same 
old  'wronged  woman'  in  it  somewhere." 

The  first  thing  you  notice  about  Edith 
Storey  is  Iier  deep  humanity.  She  has 
a  gift  for  fitting  into  any  scene,  or  be- 
coming one  of  any  group  of  people  in 
any  walk  of  life,  that  is  far  beyond  or- 
dinary adaptability.  It  is  as  tho  she 
had,  herself,  belonged  to  every  nation- 
ahty  and  lived  thru  every  possible  ex- 
perience in  the  world. 

Edith  Storey,  a  New  Yorker  by  birth, 
went  on  the  stage  when  she  was  eight 
years  old.  She  appeared  in  "Audrey" 
with  Eleanor  Robson,  in  "The  Little 
Princess"  and  in  "Mrs.  Wiggs  of  the 
Cabbage  Patch."  She  joined  the  Vita- 
graph  Film  Company  when  she  was  about 
thirteen. 

"That  was  at  the  time  when  J.  Stuart 
Blackfon  u.sed  to  direct  and  Albert  Smith, 
the  present  head  of  the  company,  cranked 
the  camera.  When  the  men  finished  act- 
ing they  used  to  don  overalls  and  build 
the  set  they  were  to  work  in  next  day. 
I  remember  that  Maurice  Costello  was 
the  first  actor  we  had  who  refused  to 
wield  a  hammer.  He  insisted  that  he  was 
an  actor,  not  a  carpenter,  and  soon  the 

'Seventy-three) 


others   followed  suit  and  the  profession 
gained  new  dignity." 

In  addition  to  doing  child  roles  and 
"pages"  she  was  the  official  "stunt"  ac- 
tress. She  could  swim,  ride,  fall  or  climb 
to  any  director's  satisfaction  and  so  she 
was  frecjuently  called  on  to  do  all  of 
them — ("Once,  when  I  was  about  four- 
teen years  old,"  she  said,  "they  needed 
an  old  lady  to  fall  off  a  bridge.  With 
the  aid  of  a  grey  wig,  I  was  the  old 
lady!") 

She  is  quite  as  athletic  now  as  she  was 
when  a  little  girl  and,  incidentally,  she 
hates  to  cook,  cant  cook,  and  wont  cook. 

She  likes  to  live  rather  on  the  edge 
of  things.  Her  Long  Island  home  is  some 
miles  from  anywhere,  and  when  I  saw 
her  recently  in  Los  Angeles  she  had  just 
rented  a  bungalow  within  a  block  or  two 
of  the  city  limits — some  miles  from  any- 
where, too.  It  is  a  pretty  place,  how- 
ever, with  big  high  ceilinged  rooms, 
plenty  of  windows  and  a  low,  broad  ce- 
ment porch.  I  found  her  cutting  dead 
leaves  from  a  fern. 

Sooner,  her  favorite  dog,  was  there 
too ;  a  cuddly  white  ball  curled  up  on 
the  porch  sound  asleep.  Sooner  had 
just  given  her  quite  a  fright,  she  told  me. 
It  seems  that  she  had  left  the  hotel  and 
rented  a  hou.se  especially  for  Sooner 
and  then,  on  the  first  day  they  moved 
in — (her  mother  and  brother  are  both 
with   hfcr  now) — Sooner   disappeared. 

"I  was  afraid  he  had  gotten  lost  and 
would  never  find  his  way  back,"  she  said. 
"I  went  all  over  the  neighborliood  calling 
him."  Instead  of  a  whistle,  her  call  for 
Sooner  is  a  short,  shrill  rolling  note  blown 
thru  her  puffed  lips— ("Hl-bl-bl  Bl- 
bl-bl")  — 

"I  walked  blocks  bl-bl-bl-ing  at  every 
step,  but  still,  no  Sooner.  I  suppose  the 
neighbors  think  that  I'm  crazy — " 

He  showed  up  all  right  but  not  until 
evening  and  he  had  another  dog  with 
him.  It  seetns  that  the  first  thing  Sooner 
does  in  a  new  neighborhood  is  to  make 
friends. 

You  see,  then,  that  Edith  Storey's 
home  atmosphere  is  simple  and  whole- 
some ;  no  "dust  of  Egypt"  about  it  any- 
where but  just  a  little  touch  of  the  exotic 
in  her  own  personality  to  lend  additional 
charm  and  mystery.

We 

did. 


talked  about  women  —  or  he 
We  also  talked  about  mar- 
riage. He  said  he  believed  in,  longed  for 
it.  He  thinks  there  is  one  love,  one  love 
only  and  many  counterfeits.  He  thinks 
we  believe  in  the  counterfeits  because  we 
so  greatly  want  to,  need  to.  He  talked 
with  something  of  a  sympathetic  sadness 
of  a  certain  type  of  girl  of  today— girls 
who  tlegrade  their  youth  by  painting  their 
faces  and  smoking  cigarets  and  sitting 
in  the  vitiated  air  of  cabarets.  It  is  a 
mistake,  he  says,  to  believe  that  men, 
worth-while  men,  want  that. 

"You  women  want  good  men,  dont 
you?"  he  asked;  "good  men?  Well,  we 
men  want  good  ^voineii.  Wholesome 
women.  Strong,  sanely  balanced  women. 
Women  who  are,  primarily,  good  com- 
rades." 

He  told  me  of  his  home  in  California 
and  the  sweep  of  land  and  sea  and  sky  it 
had  and  the  free,  out-of-door  life  he  led 
there.  He  told  me,  too,  in  relevance  to 
our  talk  of  women  and  men,  that  no 
woman  was  permitted  to  smoke  in  his 
home  nor  to  touch  wine.  "They  may  do 
it  where  they  will,"  he  said,  "I  dont 
doubt  but  what  some  of  them  did,  but  I 
dont  want-  to  have  to  see  it,  and  I  have 
a  right  to  preserve  my  ideals  in  my  own 
home,  haven't  I  ?" 

I  asked  him  if  he  thought  many  people 
had  ideals,  consciously.  He  said  he 
thought  they  did.  He  has  never,  he  says, 
lost  his  simple  first  faith  in  human  na- 
ture. Never  swerved  in  his  empedestal- 
ling  of  women.  Never  relinquished  the 
belief  that  the  great  and  good  life,  the 
secret  of  lasting  happiness,  the  alchemy 
of  deep  content  is  the  simple  life,  the 
quiet  life  in  the  country  with  little  of  the 
fever  of  ambition,  with  books  and  a  few 
friends  and  the  woman  one  loves. 
"Love  is  the  greatest  thing  in  life,  of 
course,"  he  said. 

"I  couldn't  stand  New  York,"  he  went 
on — "the  elevated  over  my  head  ;  the  sub- 
ways underneath  ine ;  the  look  on  the 
faces  of  most  of  the  people  I  see;  the 
strain  and  push  and  sweat  and  grind.  I'm 
going  back  to  California  where,  if  any- 
where, people  really  live 

"I  was  born  and  brought  up  in  New 
York  City,  but  that  doesn't  make  me  love 
it.  I  was  born  and  brought  up  in  a 
theatrical  family.  That  doesn't  make  me 
love  the  theatrical,  either. 

"I  have  come  thru  to  a  lot  of  beliefs 
I  didn't  have,  of  course,  say  ten  years 
ago.  I  have  not  always  had  this  phil- 
osophy or  this  way  of  looking  at  things. 
I'm  a  Christian  Scientist  and  that  has 
solved  a  lot  for  me,  given  me  light.  And

man.  7/  will  not.  It  is  the  man  every 
time.  A  man  can  keep  intact  his  im- 
mortal soul  as  well  in  a  dive  as  in  a  man-

We  talked  a  while  of  books.  Bill  Rus- 
sell likes  to  read  biographies  and  auto- 
biographies— because  they're  real 

We  talked  of  hobbies  and  the  pursuit 
of  pleasure — and  he  has  his  pipe — not 
cigarets ;  and  he  likes  to  take  his  car  and 
ride  about  the  Westchester  hills — when 
he  is  in  the  East — and  feel  the  freedom  of 
the  winds  he  loves  sweep  past  him  as  he 
goes. 

He  likes  to  dream  as  men  dreamed 
long  ago  when  the  world  was  new — and 
he  has  built  about  him  a  shield  of  idealism 
that  these  dreams  be  not  destroyed.

Barthelmess:  The  Boy 

{Continued  from  page  17) 

It  is  his  mother  love.  Now  mother  love, 
I  am  afraid,  is  a  thing  that  may  become 
destructive,  foolish,  a  figurative  ball-and- 
chain.  Not  with  Barthelmess  and  his 
mother.  Between  them  there  is  compan- 
ionship, pal-dom,  love. 

Before  our  interview  his  mother  had 
been  ill,  confined  in  a  Long  Island  sani- 
tarium for  weeks.  Barthelmess  spent 
every  week-end  with  her. 

"Mother  does  not  want  it,"  he  told 
me  when  I  heard  him  turn  down  an  in- 
vitation to  a  house  party,  "but  I  know 
her  heart — and  I  am  not  going  to  disap- 
point her." 

Her  recovery  was  slow  but  finally  she 
has  been  able  to  join  her  son  in  New 
York.  Once  again  Barthelmess  has  the 
companionship  he  longs  for,  and  when 
time  permits — (the  Griffith  players  fre- 
quently work  far  into  the  night) — he 
does  the  theaters  with  his  mother 

"The  two  pals,"  they  call  them.  And 
well    they  may.

you — what  a  priceless  possession 
is  a  PERFECT  voice! 

For  singing,  public  speaking,  for  con 
versation— the  trained,  fully  cultivated 
voice  gives  any  man  or  woman  an  im- 
mense advantage  over  those  who  neglect  to 
improve  Nature's  best  gift. 

Any  Voice  Can  Be  Developed

velop the  most  ordinary  voice  into  a  thing  of  beauty— 
a  power  to  arouse  admiration  and  compel  success. 

This  method  is  an  absolute  science  of  voice  culture. 
It  develops  Nature's  own  sound  organ  by  proved  prin- 
ciples. It  is  the  science  of  tone-procluction,  tone- 
strength,  clearness  and  harmony.  Your  voice  can  be 
trained  by  it  to  great  power  and  beauty. 

Immediate  Results 

The  FEUCHTINGER  METHOD  is  a  PROVED  SUCCESS-it  has 
demonstrated  unfailing  results  in  countless  cases.  Your  voice  will 
receive  almost  immediate  benefits,  and  your  Ffogress  to  perfection 
should  be  swift  and  sure. 

Mr.  Feuchtinger  has  received  letters  from  men  and  women  in 
all  walks  of  life,  telling  what  the  Power  of  the  Voice  has  been  to 
them  after  studying  this  unfailing  method.  Those  friendless  before 
taking  this  course  now  find  themselves  popular  wherever  they  gn. 
Our  students  testify  that  a  fine  singing  and  speaking  voice  is 
responsible  for  unexpected  social  and  business  opportunities. 

No  Stuttering— No  Stammering 
No  Lisping 

The  Feuchtinger  Method  banishes  ALL  impediments  of  speech- 
gives  perfect  command  of  muscles  and  vocal  cords.  Harshness, 
hoarseness,  huskiness  will  quickly  disappear. 

No  more  stuttering,  stammering  or  lisping!  All  these  business 
and  social  handicaps  are  quickly  and  permanently  removed  by  the 
Feuchtinger  Method  of  Voice  Culture.

MOTION  PICTURE 

On  Vamps  and  Ingenues 

{Continued  from  page  28) 
"What  men  are  worth  vamping?"  she 
askecl,  with  the  seriousness  one  should 
give  to  sucli  a  weighty  question.  "The 
men  whose  brains  have  raised  them  above 
tlie  mass  of  their  fellows.  Now  when  the 
generally  accepted  type  of  vamp  knocks 
at  the  door  of  these  same  brains,  the  man 
is  ]mt  on  his  guard  at  once.  He  looks  at 
the  curve  of  the  lips,  the  slant  of  the 
eyes,  the  cut  of  the  black  gown  artd  knows 
liiat  the  lady  has  but  one  purpose  in  view, 
to  vamp  him.  If  he  is  wise — or  even  if 
he  but  thinks  he  is  wise — he  turns  from 
her  at  once.  Then  comes  the  sweet,  child- 
like, wonder-eyed  girl,  the  girl  vi^ho  looks 
as  if  she  were  born  to  pick  daisies,  to 
chase  butterflies,  to  coo  sweet  lullabies  at 
twilight,  and,  lo,  you  find  him  hanging  a 
diamond — or  a  limousine — on  each  curly 
eyelash.  That  vamp  is  the  real  actress. 
Behind  the  baby  stare  may  be  a  mind 
plotting  to  overthrow  a  throne:  the  girl- 
ish giggle  may  be  more  deadly  than  a  si- 
ren's song,  but  the  man  never  guesses  it 
and  therein  lies  the  great  secret  of  suc- 
cess. 

"And  the  .screen  vamp  has  set  the  ex- 
ample for  the  vamp  in  real  life.  Have  you 
ever  noticed  young  girls  who  are  blessed 
— or  is  it  cursed? — with  the  innate  desire 
to  lure  fashioning  their  dress,  their  ac- 
tions on  the  model  of  some  famous  screen 
vamp?  The  latter's  method  of  luring 
must  be  the  correct  one  or  why  has  it 
succeeded  with  so  many  men  thru  so 
many  reels  of  so  many  features?*  They 
dont  seem  to  realize  that  vamping  tal- 
ents come  from  within,  that  a  girl  cant 
don  the  generally  accepted  gown  and  ac- 
cessories of  a  vamp  and  be  lYiiraculously 
endowed  with  the  capacity  to  vamp.  She 
must  first  have  the  feeling^-and,  I  may 
add,  the  brains — for  it,  and  then  the  prop- 
er setting  will  come  as  a  matter  of  course. 

"And  the  ingenue !  As  soon  as  one  star, 
by  her  personality,  won  the  heart  of  the 
screen  public,  her  type  became  the  accept- 
ed one  for  the  ingenue.  If  a  girl  in  any 
way  resembling  her  crossed  the  path  of  a 
picture  director  she  was  at  once  hailed 
as  a  "find."  while  hundreds  of  others 
just  as  truly  typical  of  the  young  Ameri- 
can girl  knocked  vainly  at  the  screen  door. 
I  like  ingenuesi  I  enjoy  playing  them 
much  more  than  I  do  vamps,  but  the  one 
that  appeals  to  me  is  the  girl  who  requires 
characterization,  not  the  one  who  is  sim- 
ply "sweet,"  and  is  content  to  let  it  go 
at  that." 

Dorothy  Green  is  sure  that  to  be  per- 
fectly normal  one  must  be  a  "nut"  on 
some  subject  and  she  is  a  nut  on  sanita- 
tion. She  took  me  thru  her  doll-house 
apartment,  just  a  stone's  throw  from  the 
theatrical  district,  but  far  enough  away  to 
forget  if  need  be  the  noise,  the  bustle,  the 
White  Lights,  and  exhibited  its  spotless- 
ness ;  that,  too,  upon  the  eve  of  forsaking 
it  for  a  new  home  further  uptown. 

^lost  of  the  star's  friends  are  girls  in 
other  professions. 

"I  am  just  as  interested  in  their  lines  of 

fSi;vcntii-six> 


CLASSIC 

work  as  lliey  are  in  mine,"  she  said.  "It 
keeps  me  from  Ijccoming  narrow,  from 
viewing  life  from  the  sole  point  of  view 
of  a  moving  picture  actress," 

At  that  very  instant  the  V'lo'ie  rang. 
It  was  one  of  Dorothy's  business  chums 
with  her  own  particular  problem  to  solve, 
and  Dorothy  gave  her  advice  just  as  wise- 
ly as  if  she  had  been  sitting  behind  an 
ofifice  desk  for  years. 

"Dont  ever  bob  your  hair,"  she  warned 
me  as  she  stopped  for  a  moment  with  the 
comb  suspended  above  the  fluffy  mass, 
"If  you  have  two  inches,  nurse  them  care- 
fully and  pray  fervently  that  at  each  har- 
vest time,  another  tjuartcr  of  an  inch  will 
be  added." 

"How  did  you  ever  have  the  courage 
to  do  it?"  I  inquired,  recalling  the  heavy 
dark  braids  coiled  at  each  side  of  the  head 
that  were  part  of  the  Dorothy  drcen  I 
had  known. 

"Why,  it's  just  like  falling  in  love,"  she 
answered  thoughtfidly.  "One  doesn't  need 
courage;  just  an  idle  moment.  One  does 
it  and  then  spends  hours  wondering  why." 

"And  regretting?" 

"Sotnetimes." 

Dorolliy  admits  two  hobbies  beside 
sanitation  :  jazz  music  and  sheer  hosiery. 
To  her  mind  the  success  of  the  Pied  Piper 
is  easily  explained.  He  was  a  jazz  artist 
and  she  is  sure  that,  had  the  Garden  of 
Eden  been  hung  with  sheer  hosiery  in- 
stead of  prosaic  ajiples.  Eve,  not  Adam, 
would  have  had  the  tag  line  of  the  play. 

Of  course,  the'  liioon  for  which  the 
baby  Dorothy  cried  was  a  stage  career. 
Her  childish  dreams  were  woven  about 
great  actresses  whose  glories  would  some 
day  descend  upon  her  young  shoulders. 
Then  came  tliat  operation  on  her  throat 
that  marked  on  tlie  stage  door,  "No  Ad- 
mittance." But  fortunately  for  Dorothy 
and  the  public,  pictures  were  beginning 
to  come  into  tlieir  own. 

It  was  in  Mr.  Lasky's  "The  Country 
Boy" — playing  the  chorus  girl — that  she 
laid  the  foundation  of  her  career  as  a 
vamp.  She  continued  to  "vamp"  for  Will- 
iam Fo.x,  the  World  Film,  and  then  she 
decided  to  turn  over  a  new  leaf  and  be  an 
ingenue,  not  any  kind  of  ingenue,  but  one 
permitting  characterization. 

.\iu\  what  if  there  had  been  no  silent 
ilrama?  Then  Dorothy  would  have  in- 
vented some  method  of  giving  expression 
to  her  dramatic  talent.  For  she  has  origi- 
nality— the  originality  that  laughingly  dis- 
cards the  ladder  with  the  broken  rungs 
and  makes  for  itself  a  new  one.

The  woman  of  fastidious  tastes, 
young  or  old,  realizes  that  beauty  is 
but  a  natural  reflection  of  health. 
Wrinkles,  "crow's  feet,"  eyes  that  have 
lost  their  youthful  siiarkle,  obesity  and 
other  unwelcome  facia!  blemishes  are, 
to  a  great  extent  at  least,  brought  on 
by  what  we  term  "the  .strenuous  life." 
Muscles  are  sure  to  become  weary 
and  congested  unless  they  get  relaxa- 
tion. And  complexions  are  certain  to 
suffer  unless  properly  taken  care  of. 
Home    electric    massage    is    recognized 


as   the   building-up   process   nearest   to 
Nature's. 

Electric  massage  is  the  active  man's 
best  friend.  It  takes  the  kinks  out  of 
sore  muscles,  stiff  joints,  sprains;  it 
relieves  headache,  nervousness,  fa- 
tigue; it  is  ideal  for  after-shaving 
facial  massage  and  a  boon  to  men 
whose  hair  is  falling  out.  So  the 
"Star"  really  is  the  ideal  $5.00  Christ- 
mas gift.  Especially  so  when  you 
stop  to  realize  that  other  vibratqrs 
cost  from  eighteen  dollars  up'  to  fifty. 


Get  a  "Star."  Put  it  first  on  your  shopping  list  for  Christmas  purchases. 
Complete  outfit  only  $5.00.  Includes  three  applicators,  six  feet  of  cord  and

The  Youngest  of  the  House

back  word,   'You're   ruining  my  show!' 

"I  had  to  remain  with  'High  Jinks,'  be- 
cause that  is  the  only  way  I  knew  I 
could  .satisfy  dad — to   get  it  over  with." 

That  was  all  musical  ciimedy  had  of 
Miss  Hammerstein.  In  the  few  years  that 
have  followed,  the  cinema  has  fared  far 
luckier.  And  yet,  managers  are  still 
clamoring  fur  her  in  their  stellar  roles. 
That  is  why  she  calls  the  Selznicks  the 
best  friends  she  has  in  the  world.  "Myron 
is  my  boss,  you  know,  and  he  refuses  to 
let  me  play  any  theatrical  engagements 
while  he's  starring  me  on  the  screen." 
She  laughs  over  the  titles  of  her  produc- 
tions. "The  Argyle  Case,"  "The  Madcap 
Lover,"  ".'\n  Accidental  Honeymoon."  A 
few  months  ago  she  was  billed  all  over 
the  country  as  "Elaine  Hammerstein — 
'Wanted  for  Murder',"  and  this,  her  first 
Selznick  jncture — "I'^laine  Hammerstein 
ill  'The  Country  Cousin.'  "  Her  second 
stellar  piece  is  called  "Love,"  and  her 
mother,  who  had  just  entered  the  room, 
said  she  hoped  it  wouldn't  be  advertised 
as  "l'",laiiie  Hammerstein  in  Love."

CLASSIC 

The  Owner  of  the  "Uncas" 

(Continued  from  page  21) 

family  of  three  and  his  brother  and  sister 
— non-professional,  both  of  them — have 
never  taken  the  shghtest  interest  in  the 
sport  that  interests  him  so  greatly.  He 
has  a  broad  and  characteristic  philoso- 
phy; a  behef  that  everything  moves  in 
cycles  and  that  individuals,  like  events, 
return  again  and  again,  each  time  on  a 
higher  plane,  until  they  reach  perfection. 

He  does  not  like  detail.  Perhaps  the 
most  noticeably  characteristic  thing  about 
him  is  his  love  of  dashing  thru  things ; 
his  impatience  of  any  restraint.  He  looks 
to  be  about  twenty-seven  years  old. 

His  stage  and  screen  career  is  so  young 
and  so  much  has  been  said  about  it  re- 
cently, that  it  does  not  need  recounting 
here  ;  enough  that  it,  too,  has  moved  quick- 
ly. He  began  in  amateur  theatricals  in 
Indiana.  From  that  to  professional  work 
was  just  a  step,  and  two  years  after  he 
went  on  the  stage  he  landed  on  Broad- 
way, New  York.  He  has  been  on  the 
screen  for  two  years,  his  first  moving  pic- 
ture work  being  with  World. 

Five  o'clock  came — "at  last !"  He 
drove  me  back  to  Los  Angeles.  His  mo- 
tor car  is  painted  green.  On  the  way, 
we  talked  of  the  Uncas,  moving  pictures, 
real  estate,  money  and  the  Uncas  again. 

"I  wish  I  could  be  with  the  Wilson 
boys  when  they  make  that  trip,"  he  said. 
"Doc  Wilson  told  me  that  they'll  be  sixty 
days  on  the  way,  stopping,  of  course, 
at  all  the  interesting  ports."  He  cut  a  cor- 
ner sharply.  "Do  you  know,"  he  went 
on,  "I'd  like  to  have  money  enough  to  be 
absolutely  free.  Not  rich,  you  understand, 
there  is  no  freedom  in  that — ^but,  say, 
an  independent  income  of  a  hundred  dol- 
lars a  day.  If  I  had  such  an  income,  I 
dont  believe  I'd  work  any  more" — re- 
member this  was  said  at  the  close  of  a 
busy  .\ugust  day — "or,  if  I  did  work,  I'd 
like  to  do  something  else.  I  think  I'd  like 
to  be  a  recognized  writer.  Those  chaps 
can  go  anywhere,  any  time  they  want  to. 
I  knew  one,  a  writer  of  advertisements, 
who  had  his  yacht  next  to  mine  in  the 
Hudson.  He  was  always  going  off  .some- 
where because  that  was  his  whim  and 
there  was  nothing  to  stop  him." 

By  which  you  may  see  that  the  owner 
of  the  Uncas  was  homesick  for  a  long 
cruise  and,  anyhow,  it  is  characteristic  of 
August  that  no  matter  where  one  is  he 
sits  down  and  wi.shes  himself  elsewhere. 


THE  SILENT  DRAMA 
By  Clarence  E.  Flynn 
Out  of  the  silence  often  comes 
»  A  voice  that  breaks  the   stillness  deep, 
And  with  an  eloquence  unheard 

Calls  hidden  mem'ries  from  their  sleep. 
It  carries  power  unknown  to  speech ; 

It  speaks  directly  to  the  heart, 
Grown  thoughtful  in  the  silences. 

Such  is  the  screen's  appealing  art. 

It  calls  the  strong  to  lost  resolve. 

It  thrills  the  weak  to  better  things. 
It  touches  sleeping  hopes  to  life 

And  in  the  songless  heart  it  sings. 
It  opens  scenes  of  loveliness 

For  eyes  long  used  to  barren  spot. 
This  sacred  silence  that  is  heard 

Where  thought  is  all  and  voice  is  not. 

(Seventy-nine)

These  are  questions  that  have  long  remained  un- 
answered. But  they  can  be  answered.  There  have 
been  schools  that  pretend  to  teach  Motion  Picture 
acting,  but  they  are  generally  frowned  upon  by  the 
profession.  Personality,  charm,  winsomeness  and 
beauty  are  God-given  gifts.  They  can  be  cultivated 
and  improved,  but  not  created.  Acting  is  a  natural 
talent,  Some  have  it,  others  acquire  jt,  but  most 
people  who  haven't  it  never  will  learn  "it.  Grace  is 
natural  to  some,  but  most  people  can  acquire  it. 
There  is  no  rule  abo'-t  beauty,  grace,  charm,  etc.. 
and  some  may  win  without  any  one  of  the  sup- 
posedly necessary  requirements. 

If  you  want  to  try  to  win  a  place  in  the  great 
Motion  Picture  Industry,  send  five  cents  in  stamps

How  different  they  are!  Not  one  of  them  it

I^ter,  I  returned  to  the  attack.  His 
very  reluctance  was  my  goad.  His  reti- 
cence hid  revelation. 

"Well,"  he  saitl,  cleverly,  with  a  twin- 
kle in  his  eye  :  "well— let  us  have/xrfiV'irc, 
then.  That  is,  surely,  the  indispensable 
requisite." 

.\nd  he  was  not  to  be  tempted  farther. 

When  it  came  to  his  early  days  he  was 
more  fluent,  tho,  always,  the  "1"  was 
toned  down,  passed  over,  dismissed.  He 
was  born  in  Belgium,  but  is  ".\merican 
now,"  he  says,  and  he  has  the  lingering 
of  his  native  land  in  his  speech.  He  was 
to  be  a  musician,  his  father  being  one 
before  him  and  when,  later,  he  gave  up 
music  for  the  stage,  Jost-  pere  almost  dis- 
owned him,  considering  the  step,  no 
doubt,  a  distinct  drop  in  caste. 

He  told,  too,  with  reminiscent  amuse- 
ment tinged  with  the  young  tragedy  it 
must  have  been  to  him,  of  playing  with 
Sarali  Bernhardt  on  an  opening  night  in 
Paris  —  or.  more  accurately,  in  Sarah 
Bernhardt's  company.  He  had  a  small 
part,  he  said,  only  si.x  or  eight  lines,  but 
the  character,  that  of  a  young  king,  is 
very  much  discussed  by  the  other  players 
before  his  entrance.  His  arrival  is  her- 
alded with  pomp  and  fanfare.  "I  stepped 
upon  the  stage."  he  narrated,  "in  full 
panoply  of  sword  and  satin,  tripped  upon 
the  sword  and  measured  my  length  upon 
the  floor  of  the  stage.  .\  moment  and 
the  house  burst  into  ruinous  gales  of 
laughter.  The  opening  was  a  farce.  It  was 
horrible  at  the  time.  You  can  imagine  the 
distraught  state  of  my  mind  as  I  went  to 
Bernhardt's  dressing-room  and  tendered 
my  most  abjectapologies.promisingtoiact 
better  the  next  time.  '.\ct !'  said  Bern- 
hardt, justly  enraged,  'young  man,  you 
will  never  act !'  It  was  terrible — terrible" 
— sighed  Jose,  shuddering  again  over 
the  span  of  years. 

He  toured  the  provinces,  then,  he  said, 
for  some  years,  with  his  wife,  playing  in 
.\frica,  the  Far  East,  etc.,  and  finally,  be- 
lieving that  there  was  little  chance  of  big 
money  for  the  general  actor,  went  into 
the  managerial  end  of  it.  He  came  to 
.America  for  si.x  weeks'  stay,  I  think  he 
said,  and  things  went  so  successfully  that 
— why,  that  he  is  still  here  and  has  been 
for  more  years  than  the  number  of  weeks 
he  planned. 

He  fought  his  way  upward,  starting 
with  vaudeville.  Always  he  clung  to  his 
artistic  ideals — thru  thick  and  thin. 

Pictures,  he  said,  always  appealed  to 
him.  Chiefly  from  the  directing  end.  .\t 
first,  however,  he  played  in  pictures  for 
Pathe,  also  with  Theda  Bara  in  her  first 
picture,  ".\  Fool  There  Was,"  and  he,  in- 
cidentally, introduced  her  to  the  screen, 
engaging  her  for  the  part  from  the  rank 
and  file  of  many  applicants.  He  said, 
with  another  canny  wink  in  my  direction, 
that  it  was  a  very  good  thing  for  a  di- 
rector to  have  been  an  actor  first — 
thru  the  mill,  in  other  words  —  tho 
not  necessarily  essential,  he  added. 


MOTION    PICTURE 

The  Director  Diplomatic 

{Continued  from  pacje  36) 

It  canie  out  bit  by  bit,  waived  by  him  at 
my  slightest  appreciative  sign,  but  em- 
phasized by  his  wife,  that  he  not  only 
reads  every  book  that  comes  out,  writes 
his  own  scripts,  casts  them,  directs  them 
but  follows  the  raw  stock  of  the  film 
straight  thru  to  completion,  "I  wish 
you  'n'ould  emphasize  that,"  said  Mrs. 
Jose,  who  is  ideally  the  comrade-wife ; 
"I  bcheve  that  it  is  quite  exceptional." 

We  touched  upon  the  controversial 
que.stion  of  the  Screen  as  Art  or  Com- 
merciali.sm. 

Mr.  Jose  seemed  to  be  momentarily 
amazed  that  there  could  be  any  contro- 
versy on  the  subject. 

"An  Art,  absolutely,"  he  said;  "those 
people  who  take  the  other  side  of  the 
question  do  not  take  into  consideration 
the  tremendous  work,  the  detail,  the  time 
and  the  often  colossal  expenditure  in 
even  the  least  picture.  Only  Art  achieves 
such  results,  however  short  that  Art  may 
fall  of  its  ultimate  possibilities.  All  Art 
has  some  room  for  progression,  for  furth- 
er perfecting.  High  spots  are  not  the 
everyday  run.  'The  Miracle  Man' — and 
'Broken  Blossoms' — pinnacles  V 

Back  of  Director  Jose  (this  is  s.  p. — 
Strictly  Personal)  there  is  another  direc- 
or.  The  director  behind  the  director ! 
A  feminine  person,  aged  three  and  an- 
swering to  the  name  of  Helene  Jose.  His 
little  girl.  "She  is  the  one  soft  spot  with 
Ted,"  said  Mrs.  Jose,  smiling  at  him  over 
the  tea-cups — the  director  had  left  his 
desk  and  was  drinking  his  four  o'clock  tea 
and  having  his  four  o'clock  cigaret,  a 
ceremony  he  never  omits,  even  at  the  stu- 
dio, where  Mrs.  Jose  is  with  him  and 
serves  it  for  him,  as  at  home. 

"Well,  but  how  can  I  help  it?"  asked 
the  wee  Helene's  Assistant  Director,  with 
a  smile ;  "her  little  talk— and  all,  it  is  so 
wonderful — "  He  got  out  of  his  big 
chair  and  took  a  large  photograph  from 
the  book  shelves  to  show  to  me.  "I  saw 
her  as  I  came  in,"  I  said;  "she  is  ador- 
able." Mr.  Jose  nodded.  "Yes,  now,  isn't 
she?"  he  asked,  "can  you  blame  me?  And 
do  you  know,  she  has  no  respect  for  her 
father  at  all.  She  calls  me  'Ted'  and 
when  I  try,  at  times,  to  be  very  stern 
and  very  paternal,  .she  laughs  at  me.  She 
takes  me  for  a  humorist.  Maybe  I  am — 
with  her." 

Mr.  Jose  is  not,  strictly,  a  humorist, 
unless  in  a  very  super-sense  of  the  word. 
He  is  the  rare  bein^  who\can  make  an 
adaptation  of  life;  who  can  live  it  and 
at  the  same  time,  play  it.  He  can  direct 
because  he  is,  himself,  by  himself,  direct- 
ed. He  accepts  traditions  and  does  not 
bruise  the  vigor  of  his  years  battling,  in- 
adequately, against  them.  He  comes  from 
the  Old  World  and  he  brings  .some  of  the 
old  world's  riper  philosophy  with  him.  He 
can  run  a  gamut,  which  is  good.  He  can 
be  the  great  director  (he  would  modestly 
eschew  this)  and  he  can  be  the  playmate 
a  tiny  child  calls  "Ted."

too,  lie  told  her  what  to  read,  directed 
her  reading,  discussed  the  books  with  her 
afterward.  At  once,  the  characters 
sprang  to  life,  lived,  breathed,  had  vital 
sorts  of  beings.  Everything  was  ani- 
mate. Her  viewpoint,  too,  it  was  de- 
liciously  strong  and  tender  ...  he  had 
thought  himself  so  wise,  who  was  not 
wise  at  all — at  best,  he  was  wise  enough 
to  learn  .    .    . 

Several  weeks  of  this  slipped  by  and 
then,  with  the  same  unexpectedness 
Schomberg  had  felt,  the  plain  Mr.  Jones 
arrived  on  Samburan.  He  had  with  him 
Ricardo  and  Pedro. 

Heyst  made  them  comfortable  in  one 
of  the  abandoned  bungalows.  He  had  no 
reason  not  to.  Their  discomfort  at  his 
hospitality  fired  the  abstract  alarm  the 
plain  Mr.  Jones  gave  hini.  There  was 
something  quite  horrible  about  Mr. 
Jones;  he  was  so  unnecessarily  pallid. 
Even  the  spice  of  the  trade  winds  gave 
him,  Heyst  noticed,  only  the  unpleasant 
greenness  of  decay.  Heyst  felt  him  to 
be  very  unhealthy.  Of  course,  appear- 
ances .  .  . 

He  was  afraid  for  Alma,  too,  as  he 
had  come  to  call  the  white  girl.  These 
men  .  .  .  their  attitudes  ...  a  woman 
alone,  as  Alma  was  .  .  .  Suddenly  Heyst 
felt  himself  to  be  very  much  a  man  and 
Alma  very  potently  a  woman,  needing 
his  protection,  needing  him  .  .  .  The  blood 
so  long  quiescent  in  his  veins  awoke  and 
pounded.  How  wrong  his  father  had 
been  I  What  a  false  premise  his  nega- 
tion had  been !  Or  else,  how  long  and 
how  bitterly  he  must  have  starved  and 
thirsted !  That  was  it,  perhaps,  someone 
had  long  denied  him  and  decried  him ; 
someone  very  dear  to  him,  as  Alma  might 
be  dear  .  .  .  Heyst  felt,  suddenly^  none  of 
his  former  pride  in  his  father,  cold  trib- 
ute, but  burningly  sorry  for  him,  bit- 
terly compassionate,  yearning  .  .  . 

It  became  apparent  almost  at  once, 
certainly  to  Alma,  that  these  men  were 
here  for  a  purpose.  Ricardo,  she  soon 
learned,  included  her  in  his  purpose.  She 
had  one  desperate  encounter  with  him 
and  sent  him  spinning  across  the  room, 
after  which  his  attitude  was  more,  rather 
than  less  devotional.  Still  later,  he  be- 
came consuming.  He  would  be  dan- 
gerous. Alma  knew,  dangerous  to  Heyst. 
With  the  cunning  of  a  woman  who  loves 
Alma  knew  that  the  safe  way  for  Heyst 
was  for  her  to  dally  with  Ricardo,  to 
worm  their  motives  from  him,  to  lead 
him  on.  For  herself  .  .  .  she  was  acci- 
dental, anyhow,  a  fragment  conjured  out 
of  some  detached  nothingness ;  it  had 
been  easy  to  come;  so  would  it  be  easy 
to  go  back.  But  Heyst  .  .  .  Heyst  was  dif- 
ferent. Heyst  must  go  on  living,  a  god, 
apart.  "The  love  that  loves  for  love" 
came  to  the  girl's  mind  .  .  .  without 
thought  of  any  other  thing  than  that 
love's  sake  .  .  .  and  it  came  to  her,  too, 
that  it  might  not  be  unpleasant  to  sleep 
on  this  fruitful  island  lullabyed  by  the

Millions  ojT  People  Can  Write 

Stories  and  Photoplays  and 

Dorit  Know  It/ 


THIS  is  tlie  startling  assertion  recently  made 
by  E.  B.  Davison  of  New  York,  one  of  tlie 
highest  paid  writers  in  the  world.  Is  his 
astonishing  statement  true?  Can  it  be  pos>ible 
there  arc  countless  thousands  of  people  veani- 
ing  to  write,  who  really  ciin  and  simplv  ha^'Cii't 
found  it  outf  Well,  come  to  think  of  "it,  'most 
anybody  can  tdi  a  story.  \\'\\v  can't  'most  any- 
body urite  a  story?  Why  is  writing  supposed 
to  be  a  rare  gift  that  few  possess?  Isn't  thi> 
only  another  of  the  Mistaken  Ideas  the  past  iias 
handed  down  to  us?  Yesterday  nobodv  dreamed 
man  could  fly.  To-day  he  dives  like  "a  swallow 
ten  thousand  feet  above  tlie  earth  and  launhs 
down  at  the  tiny  mortal  atoms  of  Iiis  fellow- 
men  below !  So  Yesterdav's  "impossibilitv"  is  a 
reality  to-day. 

'The  time  will  come,"  writes  the  same  au- 
thority, "when  millions  of  people  will  be 
writers— there  will  be  countless  thousands  of 
playwrights,  novelists,  scenario,  magazine  and 
newspaper  writers— they  are  coming,  coming 
—a  whole  new  world  of  them!"  And  d<>  you 
know  what  these  writcrs-to-be  an-  doing  now? 
Why.  they  are  the  men — armies  of  tlu-n^  — 
ycung  and  old,  now  doing  mere  clerical  work, 
in  oflices,  keeping  books,  selling  mcrcliandisi-. 
or  even  driving  trucks,  running  elevators, 
street  cars,  waiting  on  tables,  working  at  l)ar- 
ber  chairs,  following  the  plow,  or  teaching 
schools  in  the  rural  districts;  and  women, 
young  and  old.  by  scores,  now  poun(!ing  typi-- 
writcrs.  or  standing  behind  counters,  or  i-mi- 
ning  spindles  in  factories,  bending  over  sewing 
machines,  or  doing  housework.  ^■es  —  voit 
may  laugh— but  these  are  the  Writers  of  To- 
morrow. 

For  writing  isn't  only   fur   geniuses  as  must  people  think. 

Don't    yoH    believe    the    ercalur    mivc    you    a    storyuritivij 

faculty   just   as   he   did    the   gycatcst    ivritcr'     Only    mavl/c 

;    you  are  simply  "Muffed"  Ijy  the  thought  that  you  "haven't 

j    the  gift."     Many   people    arc    simply    afraid   to    try.      Or    if 

I    they  do  try,  and  their  first  efforts  don't  satisfy,  they  simply 

five    up    in    despair,    and    that    ends    it.      They're    througli. 
hey  never  try  again.     Yet  if,  Ly  some  lucky  chance,  tliey 
\    had    first    learned    the    simple    rules    of    writing,    and    then 
given  the  Imagination  free  rein  they  might  have  astonished 
the  world! 

But  two  things  are  essential  in  order  to  become  a  writer. 
First,  to  learn  the  ordinary  principles  of  writing.  Second, 
to  learn  to  exercise  your  faculty  of  Thinkingf,  By  exer 
cising  a  thing  you  develop  it.  Your  Imagination  is  some- 
thing like  your  right  arm.  The  more  you  use  it  the 
stronger  it  gets.  The  principles  of  writing  are  no  more 
com  pie  X  than  the  principles  of  spelling,  arithmetic  or 
any  other  simple  tiling  that  any  hod  y  knows.  Writers 
learn  to  piece  together  a  story  as  easily  as  a  child  sets 
up  .1  miniature  house  with  his  toy  Mocks,  It  is  amaiingly 
easy  after  the  mind  grasps  ttie  simple  "know  how."  A 
littic  study,  a  little  i)atience,  a  little  confidence,  and  the 
tiling  that  looks  hard 
turns  out  to  he  iust  as 
easy  as  il  seemed  aifficult. 
Thousands  of  people 
imagine  ihey  need  a  fine 
eilucatinii  in  order  to 
wiite.  NothiiiK  is  farther 
f  r  o  m  the  truth.  The 
greatest  writers  were  the 
poorest  scholars.  People 
rarely  learn  to  write  at 
scliools.  They  may  get 
the  principles  there,  but 
they  r,ally  learn  to  7Vritf 
from  the  great,  wide, 
open,  boundless  Book 
ol  Humanity!  Yes, 
seething  all  around  you, 
Cjvery  day.  every  hour, 
every  minute,  in  the 
whirling  vortex  —  the 
flotsam  and  jetsam  of 
Life  —  even  in  your  own 
home,  at  work  or  play, 
are  endless  incidents  for 
stories  and  plays  —  a 
wealth  of  material,  a 
world  of  things  happen- 
ing. Every  one  of  these 
has  the  seed  of  a  story 
or  play  in  it.  Think!  If 
you  went  to  a  fire,  or 
saw  an  accident,  you 
could  come  home  and 
tell  the  folks  a  1  t  about 
it.  Unconsciously  you 
would  describe  it  all 
very  realistically.  And 
if  somebody  stood  by 
and  wrote  down  exactly 
what  you  said,  you'd  be 
amazed  to  find  your 
story  would  sound  juat

would  not  be  oblivious  of  her  ...  he  was 
not  so  made. 

The  climax  came  before  a  clearing  of 
the  situation  presented  itself.  It  was! 
all  very  strange.  Of  an  evening  Mr. 
Jones  and  Heyst  would  sit  together  and 
play  backgammon,  each  watching  the 
other  with  a  cold  intensity.  Heyst  felt, 
always,  that  some  presence  from  a  long- 
filled  grave  had  come  to  dally  with  him 
for  some  weirdly  pleasant  hour.  Mr. 
Jones  did  not  betray  what  he  felt,  unless 
it  was  the  faintness  of  a  disbelief,  an 
unwilling  sort  of  a  liking,  chilling  in  the 
extreme. 

.■\nd  always  Ricardo  followed  Alma, 
begging  her  favors,  making  love  to  her, 
threatening  her,  lavishing  extravagances 
of  praise  upon  her,  hinting  that  their  pres- 
ence on  Samburan  had  to  do  with  treas- 
ures Heyst  had  stolen  from  dead  men 
and  buried  there,  on  the  wane  of  the 
moon. 

On  one  of  these  nights,  as  Ricardo  was 
making  his  most  violent  assertions  Alma 
looked  up  to  see  Heyst  and  Mr.  Jones 
standing  in  the  doorway.  Mr.  Jones  con- 
vulsed her  with  sick  shudders.  He  looked 
as  a  corpse  might  look  who  has  been  I 
rudely  disturbed  from  his  slumbers. 

"What  did  I  tell  you  about  women?" 
he  muttered,  levelling  his  pistol,  suddenly 
drawn,  at  Ricardo,  all  his  dispelled  ani- 
mosity suddenly  concentrated  toward  the 
Venezuelan ;  "what  did  I  tell  you  about 
women  .  .  .  about  women  .  .  .  what, 
answer,  rat,  what?" 

Alma  made  the  next,  sudden  move — 
a  knife  flashed  thru  the  air — Ricardo 
toppled  over  at  a  thrust  of  her  strong 
arm — Mr.  Jones  fired  and  when  the  din 
and  the  powder  cleared  away  Heyst  had 
Alma  in  his  arms,  over  both  of  them  her 
blood  flowing,  bright  red  and  somehow 
victorious. 

"I  did  this  to  save  you,"  she  whispered 
to  him.  holding  her  throat  in  which  the 
pulse  leapt,  frighteningly ;  "I  did  this  to 
save  you  ...  I  led  him  on  ...  I  let  him 
think  .  .  .  They  would  have  killed  us 
.  .  .  for  gold  .  .  .  they  think  we  have 
gold  .  .  .  but  now  he  is  gone  and  you 
.  .   .  oh,  yon  are  .  .  .  safe  ..." 

The  pulse  in  Alma's  throat  seemed  to 
Heyst  to  be  his  own  heart  pumping  her 
blood  away  .  .  .  Negation  ....  how  thin 
.  .  .  how  thin  1  HimselF,  a  shade  among 
shades  .  .'  . 

Outside  the  surf  was  pounding  and 
tomorrow  the  hot  sun  would  draw  all 
the  strong  scents  of  the  earth  into  its 
passionate  heart  and  there  would  be  a 
shimmer  of  hot  gold  over  all  the  land, 
squandered  flowers  .  .  .  natives  dancing

press  material.  We  had  to  send  to  the 
nearest  drug  store  for  a  restorative  after 
our  office-boy  had  glanced  over  a  batch 
of  recent  screen  press  stories.  Note 
these  choice  bits,  bearing  the  plea  "for 
the  favor  of  insertion" : 

"Whilst  riding  on  the  Downs  for  a 
scene  in  her  new  production,  'The  Gen- 
tleman Rider,'  Miss  Violet  Hopson  was 
thrown  from  her  horse,  and  altho  not 
seriously  hurt,  this  popular  star  sustained 
a  severe  shaking.  It  will  be  remembered 
that  whilst  acting  in  the  Broadwest  film, 
'A  Fortune  at  Stake,'  last  year.  Miss 
Hopson  had  a  bad  accident  in  Rotten 
Row  and  was  for  some  time  unable  to 
work  owing  to  a  severely  sprained 
ankle." 
.    And  this: 

"If  you  had  been  privileged  to  look  in 
at  the  Broadwest  studio  one  day  last 
week  you  would  have  found  a  very 
merry  party  at  dinner.  Somewhere  be- 
hind the  scenes,  rag-time  tunes  were 
being  played  to  'get  the  atmosphere,' 
altho  no  piano  appeared  in  this  particu- 
lar scene.  It  was  eflfective,  however,  for 
when  a  call  of  'speed  up  that  rag' 
spurred  the  musician  on  to  syncopate  the 
already  raggy  tune,  the  artistes  'got 
going'  and  the  scene  proved  a  huge  suc- 
cess."      

German  kinemas,  according  to  film 
men  just  returned  from  BerKn,  are 
against  providing  remarkable  musical 
programs.  The  popular  film  demand 
is  for  detective  and  society  dramas. 
The  reported  wave  of  immoraiity  in  the 
German  kinemas  seems  to  be  without 
foundation.  The  moral  level  of  films 
there  is  pronounced  excellent. 

The  manufacturing  of  German  lenses 
and  projectors  is  being  taken  up  rapidly. 
This  wUl  shortly  have  an  effect  on  the 
American  market. 


At  present  -American  activities  on 
the  other  side  are  interesting  to  note. 
The  Italian  Kinema  Union,  the  biggest 
film  organization  in  Italy,  has  signed 
Herbert  Brenon  to  produce  a  series  of 
pictures  starring  Marie  Doro.  The 
first  will  be  "The  Mysterious  Prin- 
cess."

A  few  drops  of  Freezone  loosen 
corns  so  they  peel  off 


Insist  on  an  unbroken  package  of 
genuine  ' '  Bayer  Tablets  of  Aspirin  " 
marked   with   the   "Bayer   Cross." 

The  "Bayer  Cross"  means  you 
are  getting  genuine  Aspirin,  pre- 
scribed by  physicians  for  over  nine- 
teen years. 

Handy  tin  boxes  of  12  tablets 
cost  but  a  few  cents.  Also  larger 
"Bayer"  packages.  Aspirin  is  the 
trade-mark  of  Bayer  Manufacture 
of  Monoaceticacidester  of  Salicyl- 
icacid. 


Apply  a  few  drops  of  Freezone  upon 
a  tender,  aching  corn  or  a  callus.  The 
soreness  stops  and  shortly  the  entire 
corn  or  callus  loosens  and  can  be  lifted 
off  without  a  twinge  of  pain. 

Freezone  removes  hard  corns,,  soft 
corns,  also  corns  between  the  toes  and 
hardened  calluses.  Freezone  does  not 
irritate  the  surrounding  skin.  You  feel 
no  pain  when  applying  it  or  afterward. 

A  small  bottle  of  Freezone  costs  but 
a  few   cents   at  drug  stores   anywhere.

Photoplay  fashions  change,  indeed ! 

Consider  the  screen  idol  of  some  two 
years  ago,  the  vampire,  the  be-curled 
ingenue. 

All  of  them  are  in  the  discard,  altho 
the  curly-headed  flapper  has  fought 
hard  for  screen  life. 

It  is  distinctly  a  man's  year  in  the 
films.  Producers  declare  that  the 
world  war  has  centered  interest  in 
masculinity.  Anyway,  nearly  all  the 
new  stars  on  the  horizon  are  men — 
Eugene  O'Brien,  Owen  Moore,  Lew 
Cody,  David  Powell  and  others. 


But  the  days  of  the  Bushmans,  the 
Wiltiamses  and  the  other  typical  film 
idols  have  waned. 

Note  what  Crane  Wilbur  says  on 
another  page  of  this  Classic. 

Photoplay  followers  have  sickened 
of  the  clothing  store  manikin  who 
personified  every  virtue.  It's  thumbs 
down  for  the  film  idol  wearing  an 
arrow  collar  and  a  halo. 

,  Today  the  popular  man  on  the  screen 
must  be  different — and  human.  The 
debut  of  Douglas  Fairbanks  marked 
the  dawn  of  this  era.  He  did  some- 
thing besides  pose. 

Observe  how  players  like  Wallie 
Reid  are  turning  to  comedy,  how  Bert 
Lytell  has  switched  to  character  stud- 
ies in  "Lombardi,  Ltd." 


Recently  we  had  'Gene  O'Brien,  in 
"The  Perfect  Lover,"  as  a  painter  who 
decides  to  put  his  affairs  of  the  heart 
behind  him  and  settle  down  to  domes- 
ticity. 

And  now  we  have  Lew  Cody  bring- 
ing another  male  character  to  the 
screen — the  typical  boulevardier,  the 
man  about  town  who,  according  to  Mr. 
Cody's  own  announcement,  is  "always 
charming  in  manner,  with  a  distitigite 
air  and  a  way  with  women — in  brief, 
a  man  of  personality  who  is  not  dis- 
liked by  men,  tho  they  envy  him  his 
savoir  faire  and  his  knowledge  of  the 
secret  of  living." 

Thus  the  screen  male  who  is  a  ming- 
ling of  good  and  bad.  Some  miles 
from  ,the  virtuous  but  unsoiled  black- 
smith of  the  pioneer  film  days! 


lu 


For  women  the  steps  must  neces- 
sarily come  slower.  Yet  the  lady  of 
dead  black  morals — the  vamp — has 
passed. 

The  guileless  ingenue — of  dead 
white  morals — is  also  in  oblivion. 

This  year  we  have  had  our  not  en- 
tirely spotless  but  more  or  less  human- 
ly good  women  of  "The  Woman  Thou 
Gavest  Me,"  "Kathcrine  Bush,"  and 
other  popular  photodramas. 

Not  to  mention  the  sophisticated 
ladies  of  the  Dc  Mille  dramas  who  can 
look  a  divorce  in  the  face  without  quiv- 
ering a  single  beaded  eyelash. 


The  whole  style  in  women  folk  has 
changed.  We  have  our  Nazimovas, 
our  stately  Kathcrine  l^IacDonalds, 
our  lureful  Gloria  Swansons  and  our 
beauteous  Corinne  Griffiths  where  once 
gamboled  the  be-curled  ingenue  of 
other  days.  We  consider  the  very 
human  frailties  of  our  film  heroines  as 
calmly  as  once  the  flapper  star  watched 
her  pet  canary. 


The  photoplay  can  be  safely  said  to 
be  advancing  when  it  no  longer  de- 
mands that  its  characters  be  good  or 
bad  as  in  the  old-fashioned  melo- 
drama.s — white  or  black  of  heart  in  the 
most  obvious  style. 

We  have  discovered  that  there  is 
something  of  good  and  something  of 
bad  in  everyone!  Which  means  that 
our  stories  are  passing  the  kinder- 
garten stage.  Does  not  Maugham  say, 
in  his  "The  Moon  and  Sixpence,"  "I 
did  not  realize  how  motley  are  the 
qualities  that  go  to  make  up  a  human 
being?  Now  I  am  well  aware  that  pet- 
tiness and  grandeur,  malice  and  char- 
ity, hatred  and  love,  can  find  place  side 
by  side  in  the  same  human  heart." 


The  coming  few  months  will  see  a 
definite  stand  taken  against  the  cut- 
ting of  feature  plays  to  fit  de  luxe  the- 
ater programs. 

Recall  what  David  Griffith  said  re- 
cently in  The  Classic? 

Mary  Pickford  has  just  announced 
that  she  will  not  permit  her  future  pro- 
ductions' to  be  cut  in  any  way  by  ex- 
hibitors, either  to  shorten  their  pro- 
grams or  because  they  do  not  like  cer- 
tain scenes. 

This  winter  is  going  to  see  an  inter- 
esting experiment.  While  American 
companies  are  talking  of  invading  Eng- 
land and  the  Continent  to  produce  pic- 
tures, a  British  film  company  is  com- 
ing, bag  and  baggage,  to  produce  in 
California. 

The  organization,  G.  B.  Samuelson's 
all-British  Company,  will  probably  pro- 
duce at  Universal  City.  Mr.  Samuel- 
son  is  bringing  his  entire  companv,  in- 
cluding Madge  Titheradge,  the  well- 
known  stage  star,  and  his  whole  tech- 
nical staff,  from  directors  to  camera- 
men. The  company  arrives  via  Mon- 
treal, heading  direct  for  the  coast. 

Mr.  Samuelson  is  planning  to  make 
at  least  two  productions:  Gertrude 
Page's  "Love  in  the  Wilderness"  and 
Ridgewell  Elkin's  "Night  Riders." 


Reports  from  Germany  indicate  that 
the  late  "central  power"  is  returning 
with  vigor  to  the  making  of  motion  pic- 
tures. An  official  embargo  exists  on  all 
foreign  films,  but,  it  is  said,  American 
and  French  films  are  being  smuggled  into 
the  country  in  large  quantities  and  are 
being  openly  exhibited.  The  officials  in 
fact  are  winking  at  the  embargo.

serials;  especially  now  that  Mr.  Jac- 
card  has  returned  from  France  to  di- 
rect me." 

"Yes,  you  and  he  have  worked  to- 
gether so  long,  it  must  be  regular 
team-pulling  now,  isn't  it?" 

"I've  loved  and  respected  all  my  di- 
rectors— few  girls  have  had  so  many 
charming  experiences  as  I  have  had 
under  Mr.  Turner,  Mr.  Pollard,  Bob 
Leonard  and  Tom  MacGowan.  But  I 
feel  that  the  greatest  laurels  belong  to 
Jacques  Jaccard.  We  thoroly  under- 
stand each  other.  You  might  call  me 
temperamental  —  I  dont  call  it  that. 
But  there  are  times  when  I  feel  cross 
or  blue ;  at  other  times,  I  feel  exuber- 
antly happy.  He  knows  how  to  handle 
me,  tho  no  word  is  spoken.  I  get  his 
moods  in  the  same  way.  I  have  abso- 
lute confidence  in  him,  so  that  when  he 
says  a  certain  dangerous  trick  must  be 
done  in  this  or  that  way,  I  never  hesi- 
tate to  do  it.  I  know  he  understands 
me  and  understands  the  situation  per- 
fectly and  I  always  feel  sure  that  I'll 
come  thru  all  right. 

"Every  night  we  write  together.  Mr. 
Jaccard  has  only  used  three  stories  in 
five  years  that  were  written  by  out- 
siders. He  devises  plots  and  thrills 
and  we  go  over  them  carefully.  That's 
why  I  dont  have  time  for  pleasure.  I 
have  only  been  to  the  movies  twice  in 
the  last  four  months ! 

"It  is  usually  very  late  when  I  get 
home  from  the  studio.  We  use  all  the 
daylight  possible  and  then  comes  the 
long  drive  back,  dinner,  and  after  that 
we're  ready  for  the  serious  business  of 
concocting  a  story  that  may  run  thru 
fifteen  to  seventeen  weeks.  Sometimes 
I  jump  up  for  a  few  moments  and  play 
the  piano  to  relieve  the  tension  of  an 
entire  day  spent  in  work  and  then  we 
get  a  fresh  start,  but  I  retire  about 
ten  because  you  see  I  have  to  be  up 
very  early  in  the  morning  in  order  to 
get  made  up  at  Universal  City  in  time." 

"But  what  do  you  really  do  for 
amusement — when  you  do  work  in  a 
little  spare  time?" 

Miss  Walcamp  hesitated,  began, 
hesitated  ag^in  and  said  slowly.  "I  hale 
to  tell  you — it  will  seem  silly .  to  an 
outsider,  I'm  afraid.  But  if  I  ever  have 
a  few  days  off  between  pictures,  I 
take  everything  out  of  my  bureau, 
chiffonier  and  closet  and  put  the  whole 
place  in  apple-pie  order.  The  fact  is. 
that  it  just  rests  me  and  is  a  regular 
treat  to  be  able  to  clear  up  boxes, 
■drawers  and  clo.sets.  Honestly,  I  cant 
think  of  anything  I'd  rather  do  than 
that,  save  acting.  Of  course,  when  it 
is  all  finished,  I  take  account  of  stock, 
make  a  memorandum  of  what  I  need 
and  go  down  town  in  my  Stutz  and 
shop.  I'm  like  the  rest  of  the  girls — I 
do  love  clothes." 

I  should  say  Marie  does  love  clothes.

HoT^  to  Obtain  Beautiful,  Rich, 
Long,   Eyelashes   and   Brows! 

EVERY  WOMAN  mhonld  be  the  richtful  owner  of  beautiful  eyes,  tfae  essentials  of 
which  are.  First:  Long,  rich  eyelashes;  and  Second:  Well- cared -for  eyebrows.  No 
matter  what  color  your  eyes  may  be, — gray,  brown  or  blue, — if  they  are  shaded 
by  thick,  silky  lashes,  and  well-shaped  brows,  their  charm  is  greatly  accentuated. 

Nowadays,  no  one  needs  to  be  the  dissatisfied  possessor  of  short,  thin,  uneven  brows 
and  Usbes;  you  can  greatly  ^^sist  Nature  by  simply  applying  a  little  of  M.  T.'s  Eyelash 
and  Eyebrow  Beautibcr  at  night.  This  scientific  preparation  nourishes  the  eyebrows  and 
eyelashes,  causing  than  to  b^ome  gradually  thick  and  lustrous,  imparting  sparkling  ex- 
pression to  the  eyes,  and  added  charm  to  the  face. 

M.  T.'s  Eyelash  and  Eyebrow  BcautiBer,  which  has  been  successfully  used  by  thous- 
ands, is  Euaranteed  absolutely  harmletu;  it  is  not  a  greasy,  sticky  salve,  but  a  clean, 
nicely-perfumed  liquid,  in  a  cut  gUs%  bottle  with  glass  stopper  and  applicator.  The  cut 
represents  actual  size  of  bottle.  The  active  princiole  of  this  valuable  article  is  a  rare  and 
expensive  organic  concentration  which  is  unequalled  for  the  purpose  of  stimulating  and 
strengthening  the  particular  follicles  which  produce  rich,  dark  eyelashes.

being  adapted  from  "The  Fifth  Ace" 
by  Douglas  Grant.  Hope  Loring  is 
churning  out  episodes  in  continuity  as 
fast  as  her  nimble  fingers  can  dash 
over  the  typewriter  and  the  two  girls 
hobnob  in  odd  moments  on  the  lot, 
discussing  innovations. 

During  the  shooting  of  "The  Red 
Ace"  Marie  Walcamp  proved  herself 
an  uncomplaining  martyr,  for  a  sudden 
fall  broke  her  wrist.  Having  learnt 
many  different  ways  of  swimming  from 
the  Hawaiian  teacher.  Miss  Walcamp 
decided  not  to  postpone  work  on  this 
serial ;  had  her  arm  put  in  splints  and, 
on  the  fourth  day  after  the  accident, 
was  doing  high  dives  and  endurance 
swims  in  Great  Bear  Lake,  a  cold  na- 
tural tank  up  in  the  mountains. 

"Oh,  I  didn't  mind  the  break,  but  I 
was  worried  for  a  few  hours  lest  it 
would  interfere  with  finishing  the  epi- 
sode. However,  I  really  think  that 
cold  water  did  me  a  lot  of  good.  You 
see  the"  boards  kept  me  from  knocking 
my  arm  against  anything.  It  was  not 
really  dangerous.  After  a  few  days, 
I  felt  no  inconvenience  whatever,"  said 
the  intrepid  lassie. 

Marie  Walcamp's  attitude  toward 
animals  is  interesting.  She  has  such 
perfect  self-control  that  the  dumb 
brutes  seem  to  sense  it.  She  is  always 
the  judge  of  any  horses  brought  in  for 
her  to  ride ;  sizes  up  their  points ;  tries 
them    out    and    teaches    them    tricks. 

"Baby  lions  are  so  interesting!  Have 
you  ever  seen  a  lioness  put  her  little 
ones  to  bed  ?" 

Having  lived  a  safe  and  sane  apart- 
ment house  existence,  I  hastily  dis- 
claimed such  knowledge. 

"Well,"  continued  Mystic  Marie, 
"the  mother  gathers  up  one  cub  and 
walks  up  and  down  the  cage  swinging 
it  by  the  neck  the  way  a  cat  carries  a 
kitten.  Then  when  it  seems  ready  to 
doze  off  she  puts  it  down,  sets  her  foot 
on  it-  and,  if  it  doesn't  move,  gets  up 
and  takes  the  next  one  and  swings  that 
to  sleep." 

But  just  then  props  arrived  with  a 
boiled  egg  and  a  bit  of  bread,  hustled 
across  the  fields  in  a  U-bus,  so  our 
chat  was  interrupted  for  a  very  tiny 
luncheon  on  Marie's  part,  so  tiny  in 
fact  that  I  ejaculated,  "You're  far 
more  spiritual  than  material.  I  believe 
you  live  in  the  mental  realm." 

"A-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-I-y,"  answered  Ma- 
rie the  Mystic  slowly.  "I  dont  care 
anything  about  material  things.  I  like 
to  spend  my  time  thinking,  trying  to 
fathom  things.  You  cant  do  that  if 
you  are  wondering  whether  it  will  be 
steak  and  onions  for  dinner  or  sausage 
and  waffles  for  breakfast.  I  want  to 
spend  my  time  on  the  worth-while 
things  and  they're  absolutely  mental, 
aren't  they?" 

So  I'm  wondering  if  Marie  is  not 
protected  by  "presence  of  mind" — a 
quality  she  exercises  constantly

CLASSIC 


The  Amazing  Interview — (Continued  from  page  2i) 


bath  with  a  marble  shower  and  a  most 
complete  little  kitchen  equipped,  elec- 
trically, with  every  device  known  to 
culinary  use. 

"I  prepare  my  stewed  fruit  in  there," 
said  Norma,  huddled  at  the  time  in  one 
of  the  wicker  chairs,  hair  slicked  non- 
chalantly back,  wearing  the  serge  bloom- 
ers, middy  and  socks  in  which  I  had  come 
upon  her  taking  a  scene.  She  told  me,  too, 
of  the  time  Madame  Petrova  had  come 
there  to  interview  her  and  they  had  pre- 
pared tea  and  sent  out  for  cakes  and  all 
sorts  of  things.  Constance,  she  said,  had 
loudly  observed  that  there  was  "real 
food!" 

The  Talmadges  are  distinctly  a  family 
group.  -\  strong  camaraderie  and  inter- 
est exists  between  the  sisters,  which  is 
unusual  and  rather  sweet.  Norma  and 
Constance  see  each  other's  pictures  run, 
are  critical  or  enthusiastic  as  they  honest- 
ly believe  the  occasion  demands,  but  al- 
ways constructive,  and  pleased  at  each 
other's  triumphs  and  successes.  Natalie, 
the  third  sister,  was.  at  the  time  "up  with 
the  cows  trying  to  get  fat,"  as  explained 
by  Norma. 

Later  on  in  the  afternoon  we  paid  a 
visit  to  Constance  who  occupies  a  large 
dressing  room  and  studio  on  the  floor 
above.  We  found  her  with  golden  baby 
hair  and  a  blue  dressing-gown  bemoan- 
ing and  bewailing  over  her  new  picture 
with  Conway  Tearle  she  had  seen  rim  that 
morning.  She  appealed  tragically  to  Nor- 
ma. "It  is  something  awful,"  she  de- 
clared, "aw-ful !" 

"What's  wrong?"  asked  Norma,  with 
sympathy  and  a  wink. 

"Everything  .  .  .  story  .  .  .  lighting 
.  .  .  me  .  .  .  most  of  all,  ME !  Conway 
saw  it  and  he  agrees  with  me.  Simply 
AWFUL!" 

Norma  informed  me  on  the  way  back 
to  the  cretonned  sanctum  that  it  is  not 
half  so  bad  as  Constance  would  have  it. 
I  was  thinking  on  other  matters,  having 
been  of  the  opinion  that  it  probably  was 
not  anywhere  nearly  so  bad.  "What,"  I 
demanded,  "is  the  reason  for  the  several 
dozen  kewpie  dolls  I  observed  in  Con- 
stance's room?" 

Norma  laughed.  "Everyone  gives  Con- 
stance a  doll,"  she  said;  "they  probably 
think  she's  a  nut,  or  simple  minded,  or 
something."  The  laugh,  you  know,  was 
an  affectionate  one  and  the  explanation 
lovingly  without  malice 

"And  the  parrot?"  I  prompted;  "I  saw 
(and  heard)  a  huge  parrot  in  there." 

"Dick  Barthelmess  gave  her  that,  out  in 
California.  .She  named  it  Richard  Bar- 
thelmess Talmadge  .  and  travelled  cross 
continent  with  it,  taking  endless  pains. 
Lillian  Gish  has  one,  too.  They  brought 
them  together  and  arrived  in  New  York 
looking,  according  to  themselves,  like  im- 
migrants." 

We  found  Mother  Talmadge  awaiting 
us  below  and  making  a  great  fuss  over 
aforementioned  Pom.  "What  have  you 
done  to  your  hair.  Norma?"  she  greeted 

(Eighiy-Kven) 


her  illustrious  daughter;  "looks  different." 

"Combed  it.  probably,"  responded  Nor- 
ma, genially. 

There  is  a  nice  air  of  being  "regular 
people"  about  Norma  which  augurs, 
above  all  else,  a  sane  perspective,  a  nice- 
Iv  balanced  sense  of  things,  equipoi.se. 
There  is  none  of  the  irrational  about  her, 
no  bizarre  evidences  of  temperament.  If 
you  didn't  know  her  for  a  star  .  .  .  well, 
you  wouldn't  know  her  for  one,  if  you  get 
my  meaning.  She  is  with  you  and  me 
and  all  the  rest  of  us. .  No  doubt  but  what 
she  gets  a  real  enjoyment  out  of  what  she 
has  done  and  is  doing  and  the  way  in 
which  it  has  all  been  received.  She  is  es- 
sentially and  quite  evidently  human 
enough  for  that.  She  is  nothing  of  the 
snob,  nothing  of  the  highbrow.  She  de- 
tests the  easily  and  prudishly  shocked. 
She  is  free  and  easy  and  talk  to-able  and 
at-able. 

"I've  always  had  ideals,"  she  told  Miss 
Livingstone  and  myself,  who  had  doubt- 
less just  denied  the  same;  "and  I  still 
have  'em  .  .  .  more  than  ever  .  .  .  I've 
never  seen  any  reason  not  to !" 

Those  of  us  who  have  ideals  give  them 
.  .  .  beautifully  when  we  can  and  always 
and  necessarily  helpfully  and  inspiration- 
ally  to  the  great  many,  many  "others." 

Thus  Norma  Talmadge  and  the  Art 
which  is  herself. 


TO  A  VAMPIRE 

I  want  to  be  your  victim,  rare,  robed  wrecker 
of  the  screen. 

I  want  to  cringe  and  crawl  and  do  'most  any- 
thing that's  mean. 

I  want  a  mustache,  steely  grey,  a  wife  and 
children,  too, 

That  y'(U  may  see  and  sneer  and  snarl  a.nd 
curse  them,  thru  and  thru ! 

I  want  to  break  a  bank  and  kill  the  man  who 

gave  me  fame ; 
1  want  my  folks  to  die  because  I've  spoiled  the 

family  name ; 
I'd  slink  up  to  your  slimy  side  and  kneel  to 

kiss  your  shoe. 
If  I  could  be  the  victim  of  a  vampire  such  as 

you ! 

I  want  to  kiss  your  false,  famed  face;  I  want 

to  curse  and  cry. 
To  beat,  bruise,  batter,  then  beseech  of  God 

to  let  me  die; 
To  tear  your '  snakelike  arms  away  and  dash, 

with  bated  breath. 
Down  to  the  old  canal  and  die  a  most  befitting 

death! 

I    want  you,   pampered,  poison   pet!     Believe 

me  when  I  say 
I'd  dare  death-dealing  deviltry,  beneath  your 

vicious  sway ! 
Seek  what  you  will!     Hound  me  with  hale! 

There's  not  a  hair-breadth  scene 
That  I  wont  do  to  humor  you — but  only  on  the 

screen ! 


FAN  FANCIES 


Close-ups  lend  enchantment. 

No  thin  vampire  no  sin  has. 

Go  West,  young  fan,  go  West — they're  all 
in  'Frisco! 

Hero — Never  loo  great  to  send — you  his 
autograph. 

Heroine — A  glint  in  the  eyes  is  sufficient. 

Comic — A  squint  in  the  eyes  is  sufficient. 

No  fan  but  would  be  the  hero's  valet. 

It's  the  wronged  dame  that  gives  kids 
learning !

Hal  Coole3r's  picturesque 
trail  leads  across  nearly 
the  whole  expanse  of 
America  Not  so  long 
ago  Hal  was  a  waiter  in  a 
restaurant  in  Yuma,  down 
in  the  sun-baked  South- 
west Tired  of  that,  he 
crawled  upon,  the  top  of  a 
Pullman  and — .  But  read 
his  story 


HALLAM  Cooley's  trail  begins 
at  Minneapolis  and  zigzags 
down  thru  the  Wisconsin 
woods  to  Highland  Park,  Illi- 
nois, where  he  put  in  laborious 
days  at  the  Northwestern  Mili- 
tary Academy.  From  Highland 
Park  the  trail  runs  towards  the 
wild  and  woolly  Southwest,  the 
home  of  the  sagebrush  and  cacti. 
Following  this  trail  about  nine 
years  ago,  Hal  struck  a  town 
called  Yuma — not  a  bad  town  in 
itself,  but  one  which  did  not 
yearn  to  take  him  to  its  heart. 
He  balanced  trays  in  one  of  its  hot 
and  murky  restaurants,  and  the 
incongruity  of  the  task  must  have 
impressed  any  transcontinental 
traveler  who  happened  to  see  him 
there.  In  those  days,  however, 
Cooley  followed  his  star  regard- 
less of  consequences.  He  was  out 
for  experience ! 

When  he  grew  weary  of  Yuma, 
he  went  down  to  the  station  and 
hopped  aboard  the  Sunset  Limited. 
Under  cover  of  the  darkness,  he 
crawled  on  top  of  a  Pullman  and 
journeyed  into  Calexico.  He  had 
heard  that  the  gentlemen  adven- 
turers of  Madero's  forces  were  re- 
ceiving five  dollars  a  day.  that 
Calexico  was  the  place  where  a

interest.  Director  David  Kirkland  has 
overemphasized  his  points  thruout,  yet 
"The  Virtuous  Vamp"  will  entertain 
you,  for  Miss  Talmadge's  singular  com- 
edy sense  gets  much  play  in  it.  Conway 
Tearle  is  a  good  foil  and  Gilda  Grey,  the 
famous  "shimmie"  artist  of  the  New 
York  white  light  district,  makes  a  trem- 
bling screen  debut. 

Wilfred  North  has  hit  upon  a  singu- 
larly timely  theme  in  his  "The  Undercur- 
rent," in  which  the  pugnacious  Cjuy  F,m- 
pey  enters  civil  life — on  the  screen. 
Empey  depicts  a  returned  soldier  who, 
upon  discarding  his  uniform,  gets  in- 
volved with  the  Bolsheviki.  but  recovers 
himself  in  time  to  prevent  rioters  from 
burning  the  local  steel,  roills.  Working 
under  handicaps.  Mr.  North  deserves  a 
large  share  of  praise. 

J.  Stuart  Blackton's  newest  produc- 
tion. "Dawn,"  (Pathe),  is  a  visualization 
of  Eleanor  Porter's  story  of  a  young 
man  who  goes  blind  and  his  subsequent 
regeneration  into  a  man  of  vigor,  despite 
his  handicap.  We  fear  Mr.  Blackton  has 
selected  too  depressing  a  theme  for  wide 
popularity.  Again,  we  belie've  Robert 
Gordon  miscast  in  leading  roles.  This. 
of  course,  is  our  personal  belief,  but  we 
think  Mr.  Gordon  is  a  character  player 
and  that  he  is  lost  in  his  present  type  of 
work. 

A  Request 

By    Walter    E.    M.mr 

If  there  are  visions  in  the  solemn  night 
That     wait     for     mc     with     eager, 
trembling  hands. 
Plucking  my  sleeve,  and  bidding  me  to 
write. 
Ere   drift   away   the   swiftly-spilling 
sands: 

If  there  are  unborn  truths  bevond  the 
veil 
That  yearn  to  find  their  being  in  my 
pen. 
If  I  may  voice  oppression-stifled  wail, 
.And  champion  the  cause  of  shackled 
men : 

Say  not  of  mc  "He  is  a  fool  to  cast 
"Awav   the   glut   and   glitter   of   his 
Art !" 
Breathe  only  that  I  held  unto  the  last 
Love  s  single  jewel  of  wonder  to  my 
heart. 

Tell  them  when  I  have  finished.  "Ay, 
he  wrote 
"Becauscv  he    loved,  nor    found    the 
world  too  kind, 
"Kxcei)t  that  this  one  splendor  show  ed 
no  mote 
"Of  tarnish,  ere  the  Angel  struck  him 
blind." 

Say  this,  and  all   your  little  world  of 
tears 
May  roll   its  course,  while  I   go  on 
anew. 
Clasping   my    single    jewel    thruout    the 
years, 
Yet  knowing  I  have  given  it  to  you !

An  Old-Fashioned  Girl 

{Continued  from  page  25) 
She  has  a  bottle  of  Hungarian  glass, 
red  and  white,  with  one  small  wine-glass 
to  match,  which  was  used  by  President 
Buehanan  in  his  own  home.  There  are 
scent  bottles,  tall  cut-glass  bottles  for  the 
dresser,  Chinese  lacquer  bottles,  old 
majolica  bottles — in  fact,  the  array  of 
liquid-holders  is  simply  astounding. 
Marj'  is  a  connoisseur  who  delights  the 
owners  of  old  curiosit)'  shops. 

Mary  Maclvor  is  just  past  eighteen 
and  looks  not  a  day  over  fourteen.  One 
cant  believe  it  possible  that  she  presides 
over  the  lovely  home  at  2018  Cahtienga 
Avenue,  a  terraced,  flowered  bungalow 
in  Hollywood.  She  wears  simple  frocks, 
little  one-piece  dresses  like  those  of  a 
small  girl,  and  her  sunshiny  hair,  which 
waves  and  curls  quite  naturally,  is  held 
back  at  the  nape  of  the  neck  by  an  amber 
pin.  A  huge,  floppy  straw  hat  with  a 
ribbon  twisted  around  the  crown  and 
pulled  thru  the  brim  at  the  back  is  as 
unadorned  and  plain  as  if  Mary  Maclvor 
were  a  schoolgirl  instead  of  a  leading 
lady  and  the  wife  of  a  star. 

Mr.  Desmond,  who  had  been  entertain- 
ing a  business  caller  on  the  veranda, 
blocked  the  door  and  shook  his  finger 
threateningly.  "Dont  make  this  too  con- 
fidential. Baby.  Remember,  every  word 
you  utter  will  go  down  in  black  and 
white." 

''I  suppose  Mr.  Desmond  will  play 
leads  with  you?"  we  said. 

"Yes,  when  she  gets  a  little  older ;  she 
cant  make  up  to  look  old  enough  just 
now,"  he  answered. 

"How  did  you  come  to  pictures,  and 
why  ?" 

"Necessity!  Need  of  money.  There 
was  no  romance  coimected  with  my  first 
appearance  at  all.  I  was  at  a  fancy 
dress  ball  in  Culver  City,  had  been  taken 
there  by  friends,  and  Thomas  Ince  saw 
me.  He  offered  me  a  job  with  fifteC^ 
dollars  a  week  wages " 


MOTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC 


"Yes,  once.  A  director  swore  at  me. 
Men  may  swear  before  me,  but  not  at 
me.  A  girl's  defensive  armor  is  her  self- 
respect  and  1  shall  always  maintain 
mine.  Never  did  I  work  under  that  man 
again,  altho  he  made  the  apologj'  I  de- 
manded." The  pride  of  Scotch  ancestrj- 
and  Southern  environment  sparkled  in 
Mary's  wistful  grey  eyes. 


SHORT  CUTS  TO  FILMDOM 

Things  are  not  what  thej'  screen. 

It's  a  wise  atrthor  that  knows  his  own  scripL 

Rome  can  he  huflt  in  a  day — leave  it  to 
props ! 

Dont  hitch  yonr  wagon  tc  a  star — be  one! 

Marry  in  haste,  divorce  at  leisure. 

Dont  look  before  you  leap — it's  only  a 
papier-mache  cliff! 

Nine  tailors  may  make  a  man,  but  one  good 
modiste  can  make  a  star. 

Sclf-p-^ssessioii  is  nine-tenths  of  the  lore. 

Fortune   favors  film   stars. 

The  pay's  the  thing! 

A  fan's  a  fan  for  a'  that! 

Custard-pie  covers  a  multitude  of  things. 

A,  press  agent  at  liand  is  worlli  reams  of 
gusli. 

A  reel  of  Oiapliu  makes  us  all  akin. 

Plots — All  that  aren't  swiped  are  old. 

Still  drama  brings  sleep. 

Too  many  crooks  foil  the  fan. 

A  sweet  ingenue  is  halt  the  plot. 

The  vamp  is  the  mother  of  dissension. 

Cast  curls  for  all  lines. 

Fan-cied  is  as  fancy  does. 


"Engagement,  Sweetie,  and  one  gets  a 
salary  in  the  movies,  not  wages!" 
groaned  the  Irishman  from  Dublin. 

"Some  day  Beedee,  (as  she  calls  her 
big  husband),  and  I  are  going  to  build  a 
fine  house,  aren't  we,  Beedee?  A  house 
with  a  six-foot  fireplace  and  logs  that 
bum  three  days,  enormous  chairs  every- 
where, a  landscape  window  ten  feet 
wide,  a  private  den  for  Beedee  and  a 
little  room  where  I  can  write  whenever 
I  feel  like  it.  Yes,  I  write  short  stories 
and  poems,  'out  I  hate  scenarios  or  con- 
tinuity or  anything  with  numbers  in  it. 

"1  love  the  Bible  because  it  contains 
all  I  want — poetry,  history,  love  stories 
and  battles,  but  I  never  really  enjoyed 
it  until  I  was  given  one  without  num- 
bered verses,  written  just  like  a  novel. 
It  used  to  distract  me  to  read  about 
Ruth  and  Naomi  with  those  old  figures 
straggling  down  the  page — reminded  me 
of  a  movie  script:  Scene  I.  Ruth  says 
'Entreat  me  not  to  leave  you.'  " 

"Have  you  experienced  anything  un- 
pleasant in  pictures?" 


THE  SOUL  OF  THE  SCREEN 
By  Frederic  T.  Cardoze 
I  am  the  voiceless  soul  of  many  a  scene, 
My  realm  the  boundless  regions  of  the  screen ; 
A  million  million  vassals  I  command 
With  but  an  idle  gesture  of  the  hand. 
I  am  the  whole  wide  earth.  I  am  the  sea, 
I  wing  the  universe  on  pinions  free; 
I  am  the  hill  of  smiles,  the  vale  of  tears, 
1  am  a  day,  I  am  a  thousand  years, 
I  am  the  jade  Deceit,  I  am  the  truth, 
I  am  maturity  and  I  am  golden  youth. 
And  I  am  folly,  frivolous  and  vain. 
Yet  I  am  wisdom,  when  I  will,  again. 
To  me  there  is  no  hidden  road  or  path, 
I  hold  the  keys  to  gladness  and  to  wrath; 
I  am  the  silent  guide  to  every  glade 
Where    glows   the    sun    or    falls   the    somber 

shade. 
Today  I  steal  a  garment  from  the  light. 
Tomorrow,  from  the  wardrobe  of  the  night; 
1  am  a  ragged  beggar,  bowed  and  grey. 
Yet  I  am  Croesus,  flinging  gold  away; 
I  am  the  cold  and  flaunting  ifistress  Pride, 
And  I  am  Modesty  with  Diffidence  allied. 
The  deeds  of  ages,  dead  and  quick,  I  trace ; 
I  barter  not  with  time  nor  yet  with  space. 
Tho    from   my   tightened    lips   there    falls   no 

word, 
The  messages  I  bear  are  clearly  heard ; 
The  fair  and  foul  things  of  life  I  glean — 
I  am  the  soul  and  spirit  of  the  screen! 


THE  OUTCOME 
By  Claren-ce  E.  Flynn 
Life's  always  at  its  best  upon  the  screen. 

It  is  not  perfect.     Life  is  never  so. 
There  runs  a  struggle  thru  each  shifting  scene. 
And  shadows  often  come,  their  pall  to  throw 
Across    the    landscape.      Things   go    wrong   a 
while. 
But  always  comes  at  last  the  shine's  glow. 
And  gloom  is  followed  by  the  song  and  smile. 

In  every  drama  wrong  must  have  its  reign. 

In  every  tale  the  villain  has  his  day: 
Gladness  we  see.  contrasting  it  with  pain. 

And  truth  is  valued  but  by  error's  sway. 
The  right  and  wrong  are  alternate  in  power. 

The  scene  is  now  in  sun,  now  shadow  cast. 
But  tho  the  wrong  may  triumph  for  an  hour. 

The  right  is  seated  on  the  throne  at  last.

Feature  Photoplays 

reveal  the  Progress  in  Motion  Picture  Art, 
an  Art  which  had  its  Origin  with  Pat  he. 

THE  first  motion  picture  feature,  a 
scant  two  hundred  feet  in  length,  but 
truly  picturi/jng  a  written  story  and  en- 
acted by  experienced  actors,  was  made  by 
Charles  Pathe  over  twenty  years  ago.  Never 
before  had  a  story  been  put  into  a  motion 
picture! 

The  first  comedy,  the  first  drama  and  the 
first  of  the  longer  pictures  \\  ere  all  made 
by  Pathe. 

More  than  fifteen  years  ago  Pathe  was 
reproducing  in  picture  forin  the  works  oj 
famous  novelists  and  •  playwrights,  the 
very  first  company  to  see  the  necessity  for 
giving  to  the  public  for  its  entertainment 
the  best  work  of  the  best  minds. 

Thus  each  step  in  the  evoUition  of  the  wtll  written,  well 
directed  and  well  acted  feature  of  today  was  first  taken  l)y 
this  great  pioneer.  And  today,  as  yesterday.  Pathe  Photo- 
plays present  the  l)est  in  auth()rslii|).  direction,  iicting  and 
prcMluction. 

Among  the  producers  are  Frank  Keenan.  Hohart  Henley. 
Edgar  Lewis,  1.  Stnart  Blackton.  All)ert  Capellani, 
Leonce  Ferret,  Edwin  Carewe  and  Jesse  D.  Hampton. 
Man  for  man,  measure<l  hv  achievement,  these  prothicers 
have  no  .superiors  in  the  husiness. 

Ask  the  manager  of  your  favorite  theatre  v;hen  he  will 
show  Hohart  Henley's  "The  Gay  Old  Dog",  adapted 
■  from  Edna  Ferherls  story ;  Blanche  Sweet  in  "A  Woman 
of  Pleasure",  produced  by  Jesse  D.  Hampton  and  adapted 
from  James  Willard's  famous  play;  Albert  Capellani's 
"The  Right  to  Lie",  with  Dolores  Cassinelli ;  and  J. 
Stuart  Blackton's  "Dawn".  They  are  first  presented  this

Comic  Conkling 


By  MARY  McAUBREY 


pute   our    rancher,    so   let's   go,"   bantered   one. 

"Get  him  to  tell  you  about  his  flock  of  bees 
he's  fattening  up  for  Christmas,"  called  another, 
as  the  group  vanished  into  the  dressing-rooms. 

"Are  you  a  rancher  as  well  as  a  comedian?"  I 
asked. 

"Sure,"  laughed  Mr.  Conklin.  "I  work  at 
comedy  and  play  at  ranching.  That  is  a  fine 
balance,  for  you  cant  work  at  comedy  all  the 
time — it  wears  you  out,  and  ranching  is  the  great- 
est play  there  is." 

Sitting  on  the  steps  of  the  big  yellow  street 
car,  marked  "The  Wait  In  Vain  Transit  Co.," 
which  figured  in  the  new  picture,  the  little  come- 
dian whose  antics  have  occasioned  thousands  of 
laughs  during  his  years  on  the  screen  told  me  all 
about  his  ranch,  a  hundred  miles  north  of  the 
city. 

There  are  320  acres,  with  65  in  citrus  fruit; 
there  is  a  wonderful  view  across  the  desert,  with 
its  fascinating  lights  and  shadows,  that  lures  one 
into  its  very  heart.  You  cant  get  away  once  you 
succumb  to  its  spell !  There  are  several  thou- 
sand turkeys,  and  then  there  arc  the  bees ! 


^t"! 


Till-:  forest  fires 
raging  in  the 
mountains  back 
of  Pasadena  flung  a 
curtain  of  smoke  over 
tiie  valley,  making  ex- 
terior camera  work  a 
difficult  matter  in  the 
naiiy  studios  in  Hol- 
lywood and  Los  An- 
geles. 

Out  on  the  Fox  stu- 
dio lot  a  g  r  o  u  p  of 
jilayers  were  waiting 
for  the  haze  to  lift 
long  enough  to  finish 
their  scene. 

"I  should  say  that 
motion  pictures  make 
the  greatest  little  pa- 
tience exerciser  in  the 
w  o  r  1  d,"  remarked 
Chester  Conklin.  "You 
nuist  learn  not  tccwor- 
ry  over  delays  in  this 
business  or  you  would 
go  crazy.  There's  no 
hope,  boys."  he  con- 
tinued, with  his  mild 
blue  eyes  fastened  on 
the  grayish  sky, 
"there'll  be  no  more 
sunshine  today." 

"No   one   will   dis 


1^ 


We  forgot  all  about  pic 
tures  and  interviews  and  for- 
est fires  and  overcast  skies, 
while  he  told  me  many  inter- 
esting things  regarding  the 
habits  of  the  little  creatures, 
lie  finds  them  an  absorbing 
subject  and  is  collecting  a  li- 
brary on  bee  culture.  Recently 
he  had  to  move  his  bee  stands 
nearer  to  the  honey  flow — 
meaning  the  orchards,  for  in 
sea.son  these  tireless  workers 
labor  so  hard  that  they  wear 
themselves  out ;  in  fact,  they 
frequently  die  of  exhaustion. 

Suddenly,  while  talking,  Mr. 
Conklin  took  off  the  paint- 
brush mustache  which  has 
formed  a  veritable  trade- 
mark for  this  comedian,  and 
he  was  so  completely  changed 
that  I  should  never  have  rec- 
ognized him. 

"Why,"  I  gasped,  "you 
look  years  younger !" 

{Continued  on  page  97)

Hallam  Cooley's  Trail 

(Continued  from  page  88) 

they  smashed  one  another  over  the  heads 
with  boxes  of  twenty-five  cent  cigars. 
Cigaret  tobacco  was  so  plentiful  in  camp 
that  a  whole  sackful  was  rolled  up  in 
each  cigaret.  Nine  quart  bottles  of  Ca- 
nadian Club  whisky  were  often  traded 
for  a  needle  and  thread. 

This  life,  however,  finally  palled  on 
the  young  adventurer.  So  he  decided  to 
"hit  the  trail"  again,  and  this  time  he 
made  for  the  C.  M.  Ranch,  where  Uncle 
.Sam  gave  him  a  job  hauling  supplies  for 
the  U.  S.  Reclamation  Service.  He  had 
to  rise  at  three  o'clock  in  the  morning, 
light  the  fire,  hitch  up  a  team  of  mules, 
load  a  wagon  and  set  out  before  day- 
break to  visit  camps  on  the  farther  -side 
of  the  Colorado  River.  His  favorite 
plan  wa9  to  drive  to  the  banks  of  the 
stream,  disrobe  and  wade  across  with  the 
mules.  Thousands  of  buzzards  pursued 
him  upon  these  excursions,  waiting  to 
breakfast  on  the  scraps  that  might  fall 
from  his  wagon-load. 

When  he  had  exhausted  the  thrills  and 
adventures  of  this  way  of  living.  Cooley 
worked  his  way  westward  towards  the 
Pacific  Ocean  and  finally  landed  in  Los 
Angeles.  He  did  not  make  his  advent  in 
hero  style.  He  came  into  the  City  of 
Angels  on  foot  and  the  Salvation  Army 
befriended  him. 

By  hook  or  crook  he  drifted  into  pic- 
tures. It  wasn't  long  before  his  natural 
talent  for  acting  asserted  itself.  His 
good  looks,  his  spontaneity  and  dash  won 
him  good  parts  and  he  cashed  in  without 
delay  on  the  knowledge  of  life  he  had 
gained  "roughing  it"  on  the  trail.  He 
worked  for  Selig,  Universal,  American 
and  finally  for  Ince.  He  appeared  in  the 
AI  Woods  picture  "'The  Guilty  Man,"  as 
the  heavy  with  Charles  Ray  in  "The  Girl 
Dodger"  and  with  Enid  Bennett  in 
"Happy  Tho  Married."  Later  he  had  a 
season  with  another  concern,  playing  im- 
portant roles,  and  he  is  now  with  Famous 
Players-Lasky. 

"I  was  bom  in  Brooklyn,"  he  went  on, 
"but  I  think  I  prefer  the  West  to  the 
East,  particularly  ■  since  I  have  found 
happiness  here.  You  know  I  was  mar- 
ried last  Christmas  to  Miss  Elizabeth 
Bates,  of  Columbus,  Georgia.  We  are 
building  a  house  on  Lanewood  Avenue, 
Hollywood — just  the  sort  of  place  I've 
always  dreamed  of — a  home  of  the 
Pueblo  sort,  with  a  big  patio  and  wide 
verandas.  Also.  I'm  going  to  have  cacti 
growing  in  the  front  yard — lots  of  it — 
for,  despite  my  wild  experiences  in  the 
>l;sert  country.  I  learnt  to  love  sand  and 
sagebrush  and  cacti.  There  is  mvstery 
and  an  enchantment  about  the  desert 
that  only  those  who  have  lived  in  it  can 
know.  It  speaks  with  a  voice  that  is 
heard  by  the  heart — its  very  silence  is 
full  of  music ! 

"Yes,  I  am  happy !  I  have  found  my- 
self !  I  have  found  peace  and  joy  in  my 
work  and  I  have  discovered  that  home  is 
where  the  heart  is.  If  heaven  is  a  state 
of  mind,  I  am  living  there  now !"

MOTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC 


Comic 

{Continued  f. 

Grinning  at  my  surprise,  he  replied, 
"Guess  this  mustache  keeps  me  from  get- 
ting mash  notes.  I  receive  lots  of  letters 
from  all  over  the  country  telling  me  they 
like  this  or  that  in  my  pictures  and  even 
asking  for  my  jihotographs,  but  never  a 
love  note.  •  • 

"When  I  was  a  youngster  back  in  Os- 
kaloosa.  Iowa.  I  knew  a  man  with  just 
such  a  nnistache.  It  always  amused  me 
and  I  used  to  hang  around  his  shoj)  waiting 
for  him  to  talk  so  I  could  watch  it  move 
up  and  down.  When  I  came  to  motion 
pictures  and  was  trying  to  think  up  a  fun- 
ny character  to  create  for  my  comedies  I 
naturally  remembered  that  mustache." 

Armed  with  this  make-up  and  adding 
those  ridiculously  loose  and  baggy  clothes 
and  enormous  shoes  (which  he  obtains 
from  the  largest  policeman  on  the  Los 
Angeles  beat),  Chester  Conklin  has  suc- 
ceeded in  establishing  an  amusing  screen 
comedy  character  that  has  endeared  him 
to  a  host  of  fun-lovers. 

Now,  Chester's  father  was  a  contrac- 
tor and  builder  and  he  hoped  the  son 
would  follow  in  his  steps,  but  after  speak- 
ing a  few  pieces  at  church  festivals  and 
winning  an  elocution  prize  at  the  age  of 
12,  Chester  upset  these  plans  by  announc- 
ing that  he  intended  to  be  an  actor. 

The  comedian's  eyes  twinkled  as  he  re- 
called these  early  experiences.  "Father 
urged  me  to  stay  at  home  and  let  him 
make  a  man  of  me,"  he  began,  cheerful- 
ly, "and  he  kept  saying  that  he  had  never 
seen  an  actor  who  was  worth  a  hill  of 
beans.  I  guess  he  didn't  change  his  mind 
about  this  for  several  years  after  I  start- 
ed out,  for  I  called  on  him  repeatedly  for 
money.  Xow?  Oh,  iwa',  he  thinks  I'm 
great  I 

"I  finally  ran  away  from  home  and  got 
a  job  at  the  Grand  Theater  in  Des  Moines 
and  1  was  the  happiest  kid  in  the  state. 
Sonietimes  I  carried  a  sword,  sometimes 
a  spear,  and  ■  sometimes  I  was  lucky 
enough  to  have  a  real  bit.  Then  followed 
a  little  of  everything,  .stock  and  road 
shows,  several  vaudeville  acts,  ai'id  I  also 
took  a  turn  at  being  a  circus  clown. 

"When  you  love  your  work  you  dont 
care  how  hard  it  is.  Unhappiness  comes 
when  people  struggle  along  some  uncon- 
genial rut  to  make  a  living  while  longing 
for  something  different  all  the  time. 

"Xow,  I'm  sure  I  am  in  the  greatest 
business  there  is  and  I'll  be  satisfied  if  I 
succeed  in  making  people  laugh.  There  are 
enough  sorrows  and  tears  in  the  world 
without  making  pictures  about  them.  I 
never  did  hanker  after  your  heavy  stuff!" 

After  watching  a  very  red  sun  drop 
thru  a  haze  of  smoke  in  the  western 
sky,  Mr.  Conklin  went  on.  "To  me  the 
greatest  fascination  of  motion  pictures  is 
the  thought  that  these  films  we  are  mak- 
ing will  reach  the  people  in  all  countries. 
No  matter  who  or  where  they  are,  they 
all  under.stand  the  same  fun  and  a  laugh 
is  the  universal  language.  Often,  when  I 
am  doing  some  nonsense  before  the  cam- 
era I  think  of  this  and  I'm  glad,  clear

thru,    that    I    can    help    jolly    the    old 
world  along." 

It  was  Charlie  Ray  who  started  Ches- 
ter Conklin  on  his  screen  career.  They 
liad  played  together  in  a  vaudeville  act 
up  and  down  the  coast,  and  at  the  end  of 
their  tour  Mr.  Ray  had  ventured  into 
pictures  under  the  Thomas  Ince  banner, 
while  Chester  went  back  on  the  road  with 
a  circus.  Drifting  into  Los  .Angeles  again 
a  little  later,  he  decided  to  follow  Char- 
lie's suggestion  that  he,  too,  try  pictures, 
and  so  for  six  years  Chester  Conklin 
has  been  one  of  the  Sennett  prize  come- 
dians. A  few  months  ago  he  brought  his 
mustache,  along  with  his  merriment,  over 
to  the  Fox  lot  to  become  a  star  of  the 
Sunshine  Comedies. 

"Where  do  we  get  the  ideas  for  our 
pictures?"  He  repeated  my  question. 
"Well,  I  should  say  from  everywhere, 
.lust  ])luck  them  out  of  the  air  sometimes. 
For  instance,  the  comedy  we  are  now 
making  was  suggested  by  the  recent  street- 
car strike.  We  are  picking  i^  some  lu- 
dicrous situations  and  makinga  good  two- 
reeler  out  of  it.  There  are  funny  sides  to 
every  r|uestion,  if  we'll  only  see  them. 

"To  play  before  the  camera  one  must 
keep,  themselves  in  good  physical  and 
mental  trim ;  you  cant  afford  to  go  stale. 
Your  mind  has  to  be  open  to  all' the  light 
touches,  real  comedy  can  never  be 
forced." 

Chester  Conklin  is  a  quiet,  diffident 
little  fellow,  reluctant  to  talk  about  him- 
self. He  has  a  sane,  wholesome  outlook 
on  life  and  declares  that  living  in  the  at- 
mosphere of  comedy  clears  away  the 
clouds  and  depressions. 

"Comedy,"  he  remarked,  as  we  walked 
toward  the  gate  thru  the  de.serted 
stages,  "is  nothing  more  than  what  should 
be  happening  all  the  time  if  we  would 
only  forget  to  worry." 

This  cheerful  attitude  permeates  his 
work  on  the  screen  and  he  has  succeeded 
in  bringing  to  his  pictures  a  refreshing, 
s|)ontaneity,  for  many  of  his  best  efforts 
at  fun-making  are  achieved  on  the  spur 
of  the  minute,  many  laugh-provokers  I 
living  the  result  nf  a  sudden  whim. 

.S(p.  Chester  Conklin  may  well  be  sat- 
isfied— for  he  is  indeed  "making  people 
laugh  1"

Costs  15  Cents 

As  Much  as  15  Dishes 
of  Delicious  Quaker  Oats 

A  serving  of  bacon  and  eggs,  at  this  writing,  costs  the  housewife  about 
IS  cents. 

It  supplies  about  250  calories — the  energy  measure  of  food  value. 

That  ISc  would  buy  about  15  dishes  of  Quaker  Oats.  And  they  would 
supply  2,500  calories  of  food. 

Compare  Food  Values 

Quaker  Oats  yields  1810  calories  per  pound.  Round  steak  yields  890. 
So  oats  are  twice  as  nutritious  as  beef,  measured  on  the  calory  basis. 

The  cost  of  some  necessary  foods  at  this  writing  will  average  about 
as  follows :

This  doesn't  mean  to  eat  oats  alone.    One  needs  variety. 

But  Quaker  Oats  is  the  supreme  basic  breakfast.  It  costs  one-ninth 
what  meat  and  eggs  cost  for  the  same  calory  value.  And  the  oat  is  the 
greatest  food  that  grows.

MOTION   PICTURE 

Erich  Von  Stroheim  and 
The  Miracle 

(^Continued  from  page  69) 

sible  and  the  big,  crashing  final  scene  will 
be  made  last  of  all,  for  by  that  time  the 
actors  will  fully  grasp  the  undercurrent 
and  depths  of  the  preceding  situations. 
Taken  now,  they  would  not  feel  the  true 
values. 

"Yesterday,  we  had  some  highly  emo- 
tional scenes  and — " 

"You  should  have  seen  him,"  inter- 
rupted Una  Trevelyn.  "While  he  was 
making  me  cry  as  if  my  heart  would 
break,  I  looked  up  and  he  was  crying,  too 
— he  feels  everything  he  is  directing.  He 
knows  all  about  period  furniture  and  dec- 
orations, and  all  the  great  paintings," 
went  on  Una,  as  we  watched  him  arrange 
the  yellow  satin  drape  on  the  table  in  the 
foreground  of  the  set. 

".\nd  music,"  said  Sam  de  Grasse ;  "he 
has  a  thoro  acquaintance  with  the 
musical  classics  and  knows  what  should 
be  played  during  each  scene  to  bring  out 
the  best  efforts.  He  plays  the  violin  him- 
self." 

"He  knows  all  literature,  too,"  chimed 
in  Clyde  Fillmore.  "I  can't  see  how  he 
has  managed  to  learn  so  much  in  his  few 
years,  it  must  be  the  result  of  his  conti- 
nental education." 

As  I  left  the  studio  and  stepped  out 
into  the  late  afternoon  sunshine,  with  the 
haunting  melody  of  the  "Je  T'Aime 
Waltz"  ringing  in  my  ears,  I  was  still 
thinking  of  Erich  von  Stroheim's  last 
words  and  the  smile,  which  included  the 
eyes  this  time,  accompanying  them. 

"My  ambition,"  he  said,  "is  to  write 
and  direct.  To  go  on — on,  worthy  of 
what  my  friends  believe  I  can  do — mak- 
ing bigger  and  better  pictures." 


WIND-IN-THE-WILLOWS 
By  Lydia  M.  D.  O'Neil 

Wind-in-the- Willows,  you  stand  so  tall — 

Slender  and  straight  as  a  sapling  pine ; 

Youth's  in  your  footstep,  youth's  in  the 

call 

Of  your  lifted  eyes  when  they  meet 

with  mine. 

Wind-in-the-Willows,  the  day  is  glad — 
Sunny  the  mesa  and  gold  the  sky; 

What  is  it  fretting  me,  Indian  lad? 
Search  you  the  heart  of  me,  tell  me 
why! 

Gold  is  the  sky,  but  the  gold  will  fade, 
And  youth  will  pass  Tike  the  fading 
light, 

Fretting  in  vain  at  the  fates  that  made 
Your  skin  so  tawny  and  mine  so  white. 

I  am  one  of  the  dominant  race ; 

I  am  bound  by  the  dominant  law ; 
But     Wind-in-tne-Willows,    youth's     in 
your  face, 
And  I  wonder,  I  wonder — who'll  be 
your  squaw?

CLASSIC 

The  Movie  Encyclopedia 

(Continued  from  payc  95) 

Inquisitive  Ann. — Good  grief,  Frank  Mayo 
and  Edna  Mayo  are  no  relation.  Neither  is 
Woodrow  Wilson  and  Marjoric  Wilson,  nor 
the  Answer  Man  and  Louis  Mann.  Naomi 
Childers  is  going  to  play  opposite  Bert  Lytell 
in  "The  Blind  Man's  Eyes." 

Makion  F. — Never  been  there,  but  it  has 
been  estimated  that  the  Roman  Coliseum  could 
accommodate  about  87,000  spectators.  But 
dont  shout  at  mc.  I  cant  staud  it.  Pleasant 
and  kind  words,  if  they  be  sensible  and  well 
meant,  are  cords  that  all  men  may  be  led  by. 
\Vomen.  take  the  cue.  No,  Frederick  Smith 
is  not  past  50— he  is  about  29,  and— period. 

West  Virginia  Farnum  Fan. — My  dear, 
give  the  woman  credit— they'll  always  take  it. 
Mrs.  William  Farnum  is  non-professional. 
Earic  Williams  is  with  the  Western  Vita- 
graph. 

Dixie  Dee.— You  can  reach  Marguerite 
Clark,  Paramount  Company,  485  Fifth  Ave- 
nue, New  York  City.  You  say  you  like  "Sil- 
ver Spurs."  So  do  I.  Good  for  you ;  stick  to 
it.    Of  course  I'm  happy,  because  I'm  busy. 

CoLLV. — Your  letter  was  a  corker.  Have 
.passed  your  idea  along.  Yes,  it  is  true  that 
my  hours  of  strenuous  work  are  very  long, 
but  I  find  time  for  play,  to  loosen  the  mental 
tension  and  so  obtain  perfect  harmony  and 
recreate  power.     More  power  to  you  also. 

Inquisitive  Harry.— Why,  Wally  Van  will 
direct  the  comedies  for  the  Rothapfel  films. 
The  Bankhead  girl  is  Goldwyn.  You  might 
write  to  Enid  Bennett.  Taylor  Holmes,  he's 
S  feet  iVi  inches  high.  You  didn't  care  for 
"Virtuous  Wives"  and  you  thought  Anita  over- 
acted and  appeared  very  amateurish  in  the 
scene  where  she  bids  farewell  to  her  husband 
as  he  departs.  Witness  refuses  to  answer  on 
the  ground  that  it  might  tend  to  incriminate 
him. 

Question  Mark. — No,  Theda  Bara  is  not 
married.  Yes,  I  am  glad  spring  is  here.  You 
bet  I  have  a  new  spring  suit.  Yep,  a  blue  one 
and  I  look  like  a  bluebird  in  it.  The  sprir,i 
brings  a  change  of  air  in  the  studios,  v  ith 
dianges  in  the  casts.  Change  of  diet  is  excel- 
lent, but  change  of  companionship  and  a  new 
heart  interest  are  sometimes  more  rejuvenat- 
ing than  a  tonic. 

Eddie. — Madge  Evans  is  about  ten  years 
old.  Yes,  Sylvia  Breamer  has  beautiful  eyes. 
I  always  try  to  rebuke  with  soft  words  and 
hard  arguments,  and  if  this  does  not  take.  ? 
try  a  club, 

Leonard  W. — Send  a  stamped,  addressed  en- 
velope for  a  list  of  the  film  manufacturers  and 
then  address  the  player  in  care  of  the  com- 
pany. 

Sophie  E.— Thanks  for  the  thrift  stamp. 
Yes,  I  understand.  Why,  the  oldest  lunatic 
on  record  is  Time — out  of  mind.  Indeed,  I 
am  a  musician.  I  dont  like  to  speak  about  my 
talents,  but  there  are  those  who  say  that  I 
play  the  pianola  and  jcw's-harp  without  creat- 
ing any  hard  feelings. 

Lauren  G. — Glad  you  subscribed.  Hope 
you'll  always  be  a  subscriber.  Mary  Pick- 
ford's  salary?  She's  part  owner  in  a  com- 
pany now,  and  therefore  draws  dividends. 
No,  just  separated. 

Vernor  J.— Never  heard  of  Eva  Campbell. 
Your  plan  sounds  logical,  but  instead  of  re- 
viving the  old  plan  of  limiting  the  wealth  of 
the  rich,  why  not  pass  a  law  limiting  the  pov- 
ertv  of   the  poor?     Doris   Kenyon   in   "Twi- 

I'K'i*" 

JiAN  F.— Address  Theda  Bara  care  of  Fox 
and  Carlyle  Blackwell  care  of  World,  both  m 
New  York  City.  You  ask  why  docs  a  loaded 
car  run- more  easily  than  an  empty  one?  Be- 
cause it's  the  load  that  makes  the  car  go. 
Wonderful ! 

B.  V.  D. — It's  not  what  you  wear  so  much, 
for  fine  feathers  are  frenuently  found  on 
coarse  birds.  Mme.  Petrova  has  gray-green 
eyes  and  a  wonderful  figure.  Yes,  Carol 
Dempster.  Handed  your  letter  to  the  inter- 
viewer. .     . 

Manila  Girl.— No,  Wellington  Cross  is  m 
vaudeville.  Goldwyn  released  Rex  Beach's 
"The  Brand."  Viola  Dana  in  "Satan  Junior," 
Metro. 


The  old  canoe;  a  redolent,  moon- 
flecked  evening;  and  Us  Two! 

The  swish  of  limpid  waters;  subdued  voices;  the  sweet 
intimacy  of  a  moonlit,  music-caressed  solitude  and  the 
seductive  harmony  of  stringed  instruments— lilting  notes, 
crashing  chords  and  syncopations. 

But  listen  !  It  isn't  the  canoe — nor  the  moon — nor  the  water 
—that  thrills  your  heart.  It  is  the  MkjiV,- those  lingering 
melodies  of  happy  hours. 

'Tis  the  same  in  any  setting!  Summer's  shady  nooks; 
snugly  evenings  of  early  Fall;  Winter's  cheery  firesides,— 
always  and  everywhere  good  old  GIBSONS  furnish  that 
indefinable  "something"  which  eliminates  formaUty,  makes 
hearts  lighter,  eyes  brighter,  friendships  dearer  and  love 
sweeter. 

Yes, — anyone  can  play  a  Gibson — "easy  to  play,  easy  to  pay 
for" — the  ideal  instrument  for  home  and  companions.  It 
weaves  itself  into  your  Hfe  and  brings  pleasures  and  privi- 
leges obtainable  through  no  other  medium. 


Gibsons  have  played  a  part  in  hundreds  of  little  romances — 
confidential  human  histories— about  which  we  shall  be  glad 
to  tell  you.  Also  the  Gibson  book  and  free  trial  proposition 
sent  for  the  asking.  These  will  help  you  to  become  better 
acquainted  with  the  Gibson  family. 

Teacher  Salesmen  wanted.  Exceptional  opportunities.  Write

MOTION  PICTURE; 

CiiRYSTAL  Court, — Sidney  Drew  and  hij.j 
wife  arc  in  "Once  a  Mason,"  released  thru: 
Paramount.  Zasii  Pitts  was  not  in  the  cast. 
Jack  Miilliall  was  born  in  New  York.  No,  I 
think  once  a  star  long  absents  herself  or  him-' 
self  from  the  screen,  they  are  soon  forgotten. 
Yes,  I  have  read  tho.se  letters. 

Wild  Kitty. — Sure  thing,  you're  welcome. 
Doubt  whether  that  player  can  "come  back." 
However,  yeast,  the  compressed,  will  rise 
again.  Better  not  ask  me  how  to  beconie  a 
movie  star.  Your  letter  was  some  wild,  Kitty, 
and  it  sure  was  rip-roaring  comedy, 

Josephine  S. — Too  bad!  Misfortunes  never 
come  singly ;  they  arc  always  married.  I  never 
sit  up  late  and  I  advise  you  to  quit  it.  Late 
suppers  and  late  hours  make  men  unhealthy, 
unwealthy,  unwise  and  otherwise. 

Freckles. — Nothing  doing!  You  must  sigii 
your  full  name  or  I  dont  play.    See? 

QuESTioNARE  14. — YouTS  was  quite  a  chatty 
little  letter.  Dont  be  haughty.  Haughtincsj 
lives  under  the  same  roof  with  solitude,  Dont 
pay  to  be  uppish.  Yes,  I  saw  that  headline, 
'Charles  Bryant  returns  to  support  Mme, 
Nazimova."  We  hope  he  has  been  supporting 
her  these  last  years.  He's  her  hubby,  you 
know. 

Matilda  M.— Last  I  heard  o£  Pearl  White 
she  was  on  her  way  to  France.  Crane  Wil- 
bur has  gone  on  the  stage  opposite  Marjorie 
■  Rambeau  in  "Eyes  of  Youth.  Pessimists  are 
moral  squinters,  who.  being  incapable  of  a 
straightforward  view,  imagine  that  penetration 
is  evinced  by  universal  mistrust.    Get  me? 

M.  V.  Z. — Madge  Kennedy  in  "Leave  It  to 
Susan."  Bessie  Love  with  Western  Vitagraph, 
Irving  Cummings  playing  with  Ethel  Clayton 
in  "Men,  Women  and  Money."  Evelyn  Nes- 
bitt  in  "My  Little  Sister"  for  Fox.  Sure 
thing;  drop  in  to  see  me  again. 

Norma,  Butte. — Beaut,  or  from  Butte?  Aim 
Littla  played  opposite  Bill  Hart  in  "Square- 
Deal  Sanderson."  Enoch  Herbert  Crowder, 
the  "Father  of  the  Draft,"  was  born  in  Mis- 
souri, graduated  from  West  Point',  served  in 
the  Philippines  and  with  the  Japanese  army, 
was  Secretary  of  State  in  Cul«.  appointed 
Judge  Advocate  General,  directed  an  enroll- 
ment of  24,000,000  men  between  the  ages  of 
18  and  45  years  for  military  service,  and  di- 
rected the  registration  of  14,000,000  men  under 
an  amendment  to  the  selective  service  law. 
Some  pedigree,  eh,  what?  Yours  was  pretty 
long,  but  I'll  excuse  you  this  time,    - 

Dreamer.— Which  studio  is  the  most  beau- 
tiful? Haven't  been  in  all  of  them,  so  would 
not  venture  an  opinion.  Sorry  I  cant'  help 
you.  Yes,  Woods,  Shuberts  and  Selwyn  are 
affiliated  with  Goldwyn.  Wheeler  Oakman 
will  play  in  "The  Third  Eye"  for  Pathi.  She 
is  West. 

JuDiE, — You  will  find  "I  can  tell  where  my 
own  shoe  pinches  me,  and  you  must  not  think 
to  catch  old  birds  with  chaff,"  in  Don  Quixote. 
Your  letter  wasn't  as  sweet  as  it  might  be. 
You  cant  catch  an  old  bird  with  chaff,  either, 
you  know.  Make  the  best  of  everything, 
think  the  best  of  everything,  and  hope  the 
best  for  yourself.  Harry  \lorey  was  Chris- 
topher, Maurice  Costello  was  Henry,  Betty 
Blythe  was  Barbara  and  Robert  Gailfard  was 
Dempsey  in  "The  Man  Who  Won,"  released 
in  July.  Story  was  by  Cyrus  Townsend 
Brady, 

Dream  Girl. — Yes,  Alice  Brady  is  back  in 
pictures.  She  is  married.  Dont  complain. 
We  did  not  make  the  world,  but  we  may  mend 
it.  and  must  live  in  it.  We  shall  find  that  it 
abounds  with  fools  who  are  too  dull  to  be 
employed  and  knaves  who  are  too  sharp  to 
have  to  work. 

Robin. — You  think  I  am  about  the  size  of 
William  Hart,  with  Douglas  Fairbanks'  smile 
and  hair  like  William  Farnum!  Oh,  I'm  bet- 
ter looking  than  that.  You  just  ought  to  get 
your  peepers  on  me  once  and  see  how  beautiful 
I  am.  Madge  Evans  in  "Home  Wanted,"  pro- 
duced by  Tefft  Johnston. 

Beef. — Wallie  Van  is  in  Los  Angeles  now. 
Richard  Barthelmess  played  with  Nazimova, 
Florence  Reed  and  Matige  Kennedy  before 
going  with  Griffith.  Lillian  Walker  is  coming 
to  New  York  to  play  in  a  serial.  Beware  of 
the  little  green  snake — it  may  be  just  as  dan- 
gerous as  a  ripe  one, 

(One  hundred) 


CLASSIC 

Bandanna. — Thanks  for  the  thrift  stamp. 
No,  I  am  neither.  Of  course  I  dance.  Norma 
Talmadge  is  22;  Dorothy  Phillips,  27;  Agnes 
Ayres,  22,  and  Beverly  Bayne,  24.  Fatty 
Arbuckle  remains  with  Paramount  for  three 
more  years. 

Thomas  R. — First  you  knew  how  Charles 
Chaplin  looks  human  without  his  make-up  on? 
Yes,  indeed,  he's  quite  human.  No,  I  dont 
keep  the  addresses  of  my  readers.  Sorry. 
Donald  Hall  is  playing  in  The  Carter  Case," 
released  by  Oliver  Corp. 

Snookums. — Enjoyed  reading  your  opinion. 
Aunt  Eliza's  opinion  of  some  men  is  quite 
cruel.  She  says,  "Men,  fate  and  the  pawn- 
brokers are  very  much  alike.  They  find  out  the 
very  least  which  you  will  accept,  and  then 
offer  you  just  a  little  less."  Girls,  to  be 
happy,  put  a  high  valuation  on  yourselves. 
Mary  Miles  Minter  and  Alan  Forrest  in 
"Social  Bri.irs." 

Nutty. — So  you  were  crowded  out  of  the 
Magazine.  Yes,  I  know  my  space  has  been 
cut  down  a  lot,  hence  so  has  yours.  Why. 
I.  W.  Johnston  was  Horace  in  "On  the  Quiet." 
Frances  Burnham  in  "On  the  Jump."  Suff-ren 
slippers,  but  you  wont  obey  met 

Esther  K.— You  want  an  interview  with 
little  Mary  Jane  Irving.    Perhaps  later. 

Miss  Vivaudou.— Yes,  it  is  a  very  amusmg 
world  if  you  do  not  refuse  to  be  amused. 
Montagu  Love  is  playing  on  Broadway  in 
"The  Net."  .     , 

Frank  E.  H.— Eternal  vigilance  is  the  price 
of  keeping  track  of  the  players.  Will  have  to 
call  them  shooting  stars— they  shoot  from  oni- 
place  to  another  so  much.  I  was  all  wrong 
about  Doris  Kenyon  last  month.  She  is  with 
the  Dietrich-Beck  combination— I  had  another 
Doris  in  mind.  Sessue  Hayakawa  in  "The 
Man  Beneath."  Neva  Gerber  and  Ben  Wil- 
son are  married,  but  not  to  each  other. 

Eaole  Rock.— I'll  have  you  understand  I  am 
not  an  old  man— only  seventy-nine.  Always 
respect  old  age— except  when  you  get  stuck 
on  a  pair  of  old  spring  chickens.  Pauline 
Frederick  in  "The  Peace  of  Roaring  River. 
Tom  Moore  in  "Lord  and  Lady  Algy." 

Troy  O.— Yes,  Jim  Corbett  played  in  that 
Universal.  Corinne  Griffith  was  born  in 
Texas.  Yes,  Douglas  Fairbanks  is  building  a 
home  in  Los  Angeles,  near  the  Beverly  Hills 
Hotel,  costing  about  fl75,000,  with  bowling 
alley,  private  projection  room,  swimming 
pool,  etc.,  etc.,  but  I.  wouldn't  trade  all  that 
for  my  ballroom.  _  .      ,  j.  -j  j 

Stella —Welcome !  Friends  are  divided 
into  two  great  classes— those  you  need  and 
those  who  need  vou.  You  want  a  picture  of 
Con.stance  Talmadge  on  the  cover  oL  the 
Magazine,  and  a  picture  of  Wallace  Reid  on 
the  cover  of  the  Classic.  .Editor,  please 
note.    You've  got  the  right  idea. 

Frances  II-L- Home,  James;  home,  James! 
You  want  me  to  answer  your  questions  in  the 
Boston  Post.  Now,  if  you  will  arrange  with 
that  paper  to  help  me  add  to  my  income  tax. 
I'll  seriously  entertain  your  proposition. 
You're  wrong,  all  wrong.  No,  Billie  West 
isn't  playing  now.  If  you  dont  see  your  an- 
swers, Francis,  let  me  know. 

Emma  May  D.— The  only  way  you  can  Fee 
the  picture  is  to  have  your  theater  manager 
try  to  run  it.  Norma  Talmadge's  next  is  a 
Russian  story.  And  then  vou  will  see  Marc 
MacDermott,  Marguerite  Clayton,  Marguerite 
Courtot  and  Betty  Hutchinson. 

Bob  White.— Yes,  but  the  men  should  work 
and  think' and  the  women  love.  Monroe  Salis- 
bury is  with  Universal.  Marshall  Farnum  is 
not  a  brother  to  the  other  Farnums. 

Curiosity.— Cant  tell  the  name  of  the 
second  oldest  brother  in  "The  Heart  of 
Humanity."  Elliott  Dexter  is  the  husband  of 
Marie  Doro.  Billy  Elmer  was  the  burglar  in 
"The  Dub."  Light.  Theda  Bara's  next  is 
"When  Men  Desire." 

•  Edayn  M.  j.— Carlyle  says,  "There  are  rem- 
edies for  everything  but  death,"  so  get  busy 
and  recover.  If  I  were  to  give  you  the  cast 
for  the  three  plays  you  mention,  you  would 
take  all  the  space  allotted  to  me.  Send  a 
stamped,  addressed  envelope. 

Green-Eyed  Flossie.— Cast  your  optics  on 
the  paragraph  at  the  beginning  of  this  depart- 
ment.

MOTION    PICTURE   CLASSIC 

Peccy,  20.— No,  the  two  literary  editors  are 
not  related,  except  that  one  is  a  smith  and  the 
other  a  nailer.     Sounds  like  a  blacksmith  or 
carpenter   shop,  doesn't  it?     So  you  thought 
the   two   little  stars  on  the  covers   stood   tor 
men  in  service.     That's  a  good  joke  on  you. 
No,    PegRV,   tliey   are   private   news   company 
marks.      Ormi    Hawley    was   there,   all    right. 
Von  U'low  she  has  gotten  much  thinner.    Ormi 
has  a  pretty  face,  but  she  was  on  the  road  to 
obesity  for  a  while. 

AimiK  T.— So  vou  have  been  doing  your  bit. 
Good !     Yes,  indeed,  young  ladies  should  be 
employed  in  the  post-office,  because  then  they 
can    manage    the    males.     Boy,    water   please.

LocKWOOD   Fannettf..— Some  day  you  ,  may 
be  discovered.     A  motion  picture  director  Is 
not  like  an  astronomer— unless  it  is  when  he 
discovers  a  new  star. 

A  Woman.— But  where  is  the  rest  of  you— 
address,  name,  etc.?  ^ 

loNA  Ford.— Have  you  got  it  yet?    Well,  its 
a  rattling  good  car.    Oh,  Iget  $10  a  week  now, 
and  I  will  be  owning  a  Ford  one  of  these  days. 
Got  a  raise  on  the  first.     Yep  I     Now  I  can 
buy  war  saving  stamps,  and  buttermilk,  and 
chocolates,   and   chewing-gum,   and   live  com- 
fortably.   It  is  difficult  for  a  woman  to  keep 
a  secret,  but  I  know  more  than  one  man  who 
is  a  woman  in  that  respect.

O'Brien  on  the  cover.     All  right,  we'll  think 
it  over.    And  you  want  Richard  Tucker  in  the 
gallery.     All  right,  we'll  think  that  over,  too.

couldn't  get  along  without  the  fools.    If  they 
could  look  wise  and  say  nothing  and  not  write

Greatest  of  All  Popularity  Contests 

Unique  Competition  in  Which  the  Voters  Share  in  the  Prizes 

WHO  IS  THE  ONE  GREAT  STAR  OF  THE  SCREEN? 

Il  it  CHARLIE  CHAPLIN  or  ELSIE  FERGUSON? 

It  it  RICHARD  BARTHELMESS  or  WILLIAM  S.  HART? 

Concerning  this  matter  there  is  great  difference  of  opinion.  Every  fan,  in  fact,  has  his  own  idol.  The  Wall 
street  broker  swears  by  MARY  PICKFORD ;  his  wife  thinks  TOM  MIX  is  the  best  actor  the  cinema  has 
produced;  the  office  boy  has  a  "crush"  on  THEDA  BARA  and  the  stenographer  collects  photographs  of 
DOUGLAS  FAIRBANKS. 

What  do  you  think?  If  you  had  a  vote  would  you  give  it  to  NAZIMOVA  or  to  LILLIAN  GISH?  Would 
you  vote  for  a  man  or  a  woman  or  for  little  BEN  ALEXANDER? 

Shadowland,  Motion  Picture  Magazine,  and  Motion  Picture  Classic— the  three  great  magazines  of  the 
Motion  Picture  world — have  decided  to  refer  this  question  to  their  readers  by  taking  a  popular,  world- 
wide vote.  In  regard  to  matters  concerning  the  stage  and  theater  their  audience  is  the  most  intelligent  and 
discerning;  the  most  wide-awake  and  well-informed  in  the  world  today.  If  any  picture  patrons  can  pick 
out  the  leading  star,  it  will  be  those  who  read  Shadowland,  the  Magazine  and  Classic. 

The  coupons  will  show  you  how  to  enter  your  own  name  and  the  name  of  your  favorite  player.  But  you 
may  vote  on  an  ordinary  sheet  of  paper  in  Class  Number  2  provided  you  make  the  ballot  the  same  size 
and  follow  the  wording  of  this  coupon.  We  prefer  the  printed  coupons  for  uniformity  and  convenience  in 
counting, 

There  will  be  prizes  for  voters  and  prizes  for  stars. 

Votes  registered  in  Class  Number  1  will  probably  be  cast  by  favor.  Votes  registered  in  Class  Number  2 
will  call  for  a  wide  knowledge  of  the  Motion  Picture  business,  keen  powers  of  perception  and  skill  at  de- 
tecting the  trend  of  popular  favor.     You  cannot  guess  the  winner  offhand.

Elliott  Dexter  Has 
Come  Back 


By  MAUDE  YORKE 


IT  was  a  red  letter  day  at  the  Lasky  studio  in  Holly- 
wood— Elliott  Dexter  had  come  back ! 

For  six  months  he  had  been  ill,  at  times  perilously 
near  the  border-line,  and  great  was  the  rejoicing  among 
friends  and  associates  to  have  him  among  them  once 
more,  well  and  strong. 

After  the  camera  man  had  celebrated  the  event  by 
taking  several  pictures  of  him  with  Cecil  De  Mille  and 
Tommy  Meighan,  we  found  a  quiet  little  nook  to  talk 
it  all  over. 

Mr.  Dexter  is  thinner,  both  in  face  and  body,  but 
this  merelv  adds  a  new  distinction  to  his  ^ood  looks 
and  he  is  handsomer  than  ever,  while  the  quiet  dig;nity, 
ever  one  of  his  chief  charms,  is  perhaps,  intensified. 
His  dark  eyes  are  clear,  his  cheeks  bronzed,  for  he 
has  spent  many  of  the  recuperating  days  at  the  beach 
and  he  declares  that  he  possesses  more  vigor  and 
strength  than  ever  be.fore. 

"Queer  thing."  he  remarked,  reflectively,  after  ask- 
ing permission  to  light  his  pipe.  "But  it  seems  as  if 
we  must  all  have  a  good,  hard  bump  of  some  kind 
to  wake  us  up.  This  is  the  first  illness  I  have  ever 
had  and  I  assure  you  I  went  thru  every  possible 
mental  state  during 
those  long  months. 

"There  was  a  time, 
at  the  very  first, 
when  I  didn't  care  if 
I  recovered,  and  all 
my  old  interests 
seemed  to  drift  away. 
I  didn't  want  to 
think  of  pictures  or 
my  career,  in  fact, 
nothing  seemed 
worth  while,  but 
now,"  and  he  squared 
his  broad  shoulders 
and  laughed,  "I  can 
hardly  wait  to  begin 
my  new  picture. 

"Everything  inter- 
ests me,  I  feel  thor- 
oly  fit,  and  I  want 
to  plunge  in  and 
make  up  for  all  this 
lost  time.  I  guess  a 
little     introspection 

and  retrospection  does  one  good.  My  whole  viewpoint 
seems  changed,  I  have  learnt  much  during  the  months 
while  I  have  been  absent  from  the  world  and  I  am 
sure  I  shall  do  better  work  than  ever  before." 

"As  a  star,  too !"  I  exclaimed. 

"Yes."  he  laughed,  boyishly,  "as  a  star!  My  illness 
came  just  as  I  had  reached  the  goal  for  which  I  had 
been  working  during  these  three  and  a  half  j^ears  in 
motion  pictures.  I  was  to  have  played  m  Cecil 
De  Mille's  'Male  and  Female,'  then  be  starred,  but— 
I  took  to  my  bed  instead.    Seems  years  since  I  had  to 

give  up.  ,         .  ,  •  L  ■    ^ 

"I  am  quite  mad  about  my  first  picture  which  is  to 
be  'The  Prince  Chap.' 

"Any  part   that   is  consistent  and  human,   I   enjoy 
playing,"  replied  Mr.  Dexter  to  my  questipn  as  to  his 
favorite    role.     "I    found    much    satisfaction    in    the

The  Movie  Encyclopedia 

(Continued  from  pape  102) 
Slim  H.— Yes,  I  have  noticed  the  tight 
skirts.  How  could  I  help  it?  They  are  de- 
creed to  prevent  the  girls  from  running  after 
our  returned  soldiers.  Skirts  that  they  cant 
run  in,  shoes  that  they  cant  walk  in,  corsets 
they  cant  breathe  in — such  is  woman !  Alice 
Brady  and  Conrad  Nagel  will  be  seen  in 
"Redhead"   (Select.) 

George  N.  C.— Couldn't  comply  with  your 
request,  son.  Join  one  of  the  clubs. 
M.  A. — Donald  Hall  with  Goldwyn  last. 
Wallace  Reid  Fan.— They  all  do  it  sooner 
or  later — Katherine  Lee,  age  nine,  and  Jane, 
age  six,  have  started  their  own  company. 
Nothing  like  getting  a  little  leeway  in  pictures. 
Some  one  told  you  Pearl  White  had  no  ears — 
cant  you  see  for  yourself?  'Deed  she  has 
ears,  and  they  are  like  Pearls. 

Two  Bugs. — What  kind  of  bugs?  Dont  you 
think  that  men  in  general  are  but  children  of 
a  larger  growth?  So  you  thought  Eugene 
O'Brien  and  Norma  'Talmadge  were  ideal,  and 
that  when  it  came  to  kissing  they  were  bears. 
You  say,  "You  are  old  enough  to  know  better 
than  to  tease  your  readers  that  way."  Why, 
do  you  know  a  better  way? 
Frenchy. — Dick  Barthelmcss  is  not  married. 
Prince  Dantan. — Sure  I  would  be  content 
with  little  it  nobody  had  any  more.  Thanks 
for  the  picture.  You're  not  a  bad-looking 
chap  after  all.  Fairbanks  twins  are  on  the 
stage  in  New  York.  We  have  no  photographs 
of  Florence  LaBadie  for  sale.  Run  in  again. 
Norma  Talmadge  Admirer. — So  this  is  your 
first  to  me.  You  say  you  had  an  appointment 
at  the  Commodore  Hotel  to  meet  Lillian  Gish, 
and  you  pot  "cold  feet"  and  were  afraid  to 
meet  her.    Try  woolen  socks. 

Marc  MacDermott  Forever. — Last  I  heard 
of  him  he  was  free-lancing.  Jennie  Lee,  of 
the  old  Biograph  pictures,  is  playing  in  "Jim 
of  the  Rangers." 

Pinky  Rose. — You  want  me  to  tell  you  how 
Gladden  James  ever  got  into  pictures.  Is  this 
an  inquiry  or  a  stiletto  thrust? 

Doris  N.— Robert  Louis  Stevenson  was  the 
author  of  "To  be  honest,  to  be  kind,  to  earn 
a  little  and  spend  a  little  liss,  to  make  the 
world  a  little  happier  by  our  presence — here  is 
a  worthy  task."  We  had  an  interview  with 
Elsie  Ferguson  in  June  Classic. 

Jo  Jokey. — Why,  the  word  Czar  comes  from 
Caesar  and  became  adopted  thru  Simeon, 
Grand  Khar  of  Constantinople,  A.  D.  900. 
Caesar  has  become,  in  German,  Kaiser,  and 
that  individual  lias  become  obsolete.  "Shad- 
ows of  the  Pasts"  is  Anita  Stewart's  next  pic- 
ture. 

A.  V.  R.— Yes,  I  believe  in  prayer,  but  the 
best  way  to  get  a  prayer  answered  is  to  pray 
hard,  then  get  out  and  hustle.  That's  \\;hat  I 
do.    Sorry  I  haven't  his  name. 

House  Pet^hs  Fan. — Yes,  everybody  oirj^ht 
to  read  "Don  Quixote."  Cervantes  laid  many 
of  the  scenes  in  La  Mancha,  an  old  province 
of  Spain,  in  the  southern  part  of  New  Castile. 
Gail  Kane  is  on  the  stage.  Sure  I  can  keep 
a  secret.  Age  is  the  only  secret  a  woman  can 
keep. 

Bill  Farnum  Lover.— Yes,  and  the  old  fel- 
lows who  used  to  whittle  the  chairs  from  un- 
der them  now  go  to  a  movie  show.  William 
Farnum  has  been  playing  for  about  five  years. 
You're  excused. 

Constance  M.  —  You  say  all  you  have  to 
have  to  get  in  the  movies  is  luck.  Then  all 
players  must  be  lucky,  which  is  not  so.  No, 
no,  little  one,  you're  all  wrong.  Yes,  Charles 
Clary  is  married. 

Red  Head. — You  have  been  reading  Darwin. 
I'll  wager.  Our  ancestors,  even  tlio  they  were 
monkeys,  weren't  so  ignorant  as  some  folks 
fancy — tliey  were  generally  educated  .in  the 
higher  branches.  Fardonnes  moi.  You  ask 
what  was  my  ambition  when  I  was  small — if 
it  will  give  you  any  pleasure,  to  be  a  police- 
man.   To  be  continued. 

Anna  L.  F.,  Memphis.  —  Send  a  stamped, 
addressed  envelope  for  a  list  of  film  manufac- 
turers. The  stage  has  had  all  the  character- 
istics. In  Greece,  it  was  a  form  of  religion. 
The  Greek  theater  had  all  the  beauties.  The 
world  progressed,  and  light  always  came  from 
the  stage.

SHADOWLAND 


illilllllllllllllllllllliiilllllllllililliiiilllllllliillili 

A  MAGAZINE  OF  BEAUTY 


,  .  .  "Thf  bust  in  this  kind  are  but 
Shadows  and  the  worst  no  worse, 
if   imagination    but    emend    them." 

SHAKESPEARt. 

Among  the  hundreds  of  letters  and 
telegrams  addressed  to  us  by 
friends  of  SHADOWLAND  there 
were  many  felicitous  phrases.  One 
of  these  lingers  in  the  mind  like  a 
strain  of  music.  "SHADOW- 
LAND!"  said  a  poet,  "is  the 
BROKE>f  Blossoms  of  the  magazine 
world!"  This,  in  our  opinion,  is. 
about  the  highest  praise  a  magazine 
can  win. 

We  dreamed  of  creating  a  maga- 
zine that  would  be  useful,  inspiring, 
uplifting  and  appreciative  of  all  the 
arts.  Beyond  all  this,  we  dreamed 
of  creating  a  magazine  that  would 
be  prized  for  sheer  beauty  alone — 
a  magazine  that  would  give  one  a 
thrill  comparable  to  that  which  one 
receives  from  a  bouquet  of  wild 
roses  on  a  cottage  window  sill. 

If  we  have  come  so  near  to  our 
ideal  that  SHADOWLAND  sug- 
gests the  Griffith  masterpiece;  if  it 
is  the  BROKEN  BLOSSOMS  of 
the  magazine  world,  or  nearly,  it 
has  not  been  done  in  vain.  Beauty, 
like  a  fairy  godmother,  will  watch 
over  it  as  it  grows  up  and  beauty 
lovers  everywhere  will  take  it  to 
their  hearts.

"Ferd,They  are  Playing  Your  Song!" 

Imagine  the  thrill  these  words  gave  Mr.  Ferdinand  Hohenhorst,  of  Coving- 
ton, Ky.,  as  he  stood  on  a  crowded  street,  watching  the  great  Peace  Parade, 
when  Meyer's  Military  Band  came  swinging  along  playing  his  song,  "Uncle 
Sam,  the  Peaceful  Fighting  Man."  But  let  him  tell  his  story  in  his  own 
words : 

Covington,  Ky.,  1941  Augustine  St. 

CHESTER  MUSIC  COMPANY,  Chicago,    III. 

Gentlemen : — My  song  entitled  "Uncle  Sam,  the  Peaceful  Fighting 
Man,"  that  your  Mr.  Friedman  composed  and  arranged  for  nte,  is  mak- 
ing a  great  hit.  In  the  Peace  Parade  at  Latonia,  Ky.,  Meyer's  Military 
Band  played  my  song  three  times.  We  now  have  had  it  arranged  for 
orchestra's  and  quartettes,  and  it  is  making  a  good  impression  every- 
where. The  Vocalstyle  Music  Company,  Cincinnati,  O.,  a  concern  which 
manufactures  music  rolls  for  player  pianos,  has  taken  up  my  song,  and 
already  has  sold  over  a  thousand  of  these  tolls  in  Cincinnati  alone,  and 
are  placing  them  in  their  bulletin  for  April,  which  will  go  to  all  the  dif- 
ferent cities.  Thanking  you  kindly  for  the  services  you  have  rendered 
me,  I  remain, 

Yours  very  truly, 

(Signed)    FERDINAND  HOHENHORST. 

Leo  Friedm£ui,  Our  G>mpo8er 

about  whom  Mr.  Hohenhorst  speaks  so  enthusiastically,  is  one  of  Am- 
erica's most  gifted  composers  and  the  author  of  many  great  song  hits. 
Among  his  great  successes  are  "Meet  Me  To-night  in  Dreamland."  the 
sales  of  which  reached  the  enormous  total  of  more  than  a  million  copies. 
Others  that  reached  into  the  million  class  were  "Let  Me  Call  You 
Sweetheart,  and  "When  I  Dream  of  Old  Erin."  Mr.  Friedman  writes 
music  to  words  that  causes  them  to  fairly  throb  with  feeling  and  musi- 
cal charm.  He  has  been  styled  "America's  Favorite  Composer,"  and 
properly  so,  for  his  melodies  have  reached  the  hearts  of  millions  of  the 
American  people,  and  made  them  sing.

MOTION    PICTURE    CLASSIC 

Elliott  Dexter  Has  Come  Back 

(Cniiliinted  from  page  104) 
'Squawman,'  for  he  was  a  great  char- 
acter and  held  my  interest  from  first 
to  last.  So  was  my  role  in  Mary  Pick- 
ford's  'Romance  of  the  Redwoods.' 
The  man  was  redeemed  thru  a  woman's 
love  and  this  situation  is  always  a  vital 
one. 

"t  believe  I  took  a  keener  pleasure 
in  making  'Dont  Change  Your  Hus- 
band,' than  I  have  in  any  picture. 
There  'was  comedy  and  emotional  act- 
ing, with  a  splendid  opportunity  for 
good  character  work  which  I  always 
gladly  welcome.  It  is  an  inspiration  to 
be  under  De  Mille's  direction.  He 
works  much  as  they  do  on  the  stage, 
making  the  scenes  as  they  come  in  the 
story,  whenever  possible.  This  keeps  us 
in  the  spirit  of  the  action,  and  when, 
at  last,  we  gather  up  all  the  currents 
of  the  plot  in  the  final  scenes,  we  can 
give  a  more  convincing  climax. 

"Making  motion  pictures  reminds  me 
of  a  dress  rehearsal  on  the  stage.  Every- 
thing is  perfect,  yet  there  is  no  respon- 
sive audience  to  applaud  or  criticise,  and 
we  all  miss  it.  This  is  partly  met 
thru  the  fan  letters,  and  I  assure  you 
I  read  every  one  that  comes  to  me,  ap- 
preciating the  words  of  encouragement 
and  deriving  some  of  the  same  thrills 
that  applause  would  bring." 

Elliott  Dexter's  voice  is  full  and  deep 
and  he  speaks  slowly,  betraying  his 
Southern  origin,  for  he  was  born  in  Gal- 
veston, Texas.  From  his  earliest  child- 
hood he  dreamed  of  a  stage  career  and 
at  the  first  opportunity  he  went  to  New 
York,  planning  to-  enter  a  dramatic 
school,  but  instead  joined  a  stock  com- 
pany. 

"My  first  appearance  was  in  .'The 
Great  Diamond  Robbery,'  and,  tho  I 
was  merely  'suping,'  I  was  the  happiest 
boy  in  the  world,"  said  Mr.  Dexter.  "I 
remember  that  on  that  very  night,  stand- 
ing in  the  wings,  I  solenmly  determined 
to  work  on  until  I  became  a  star. 

"This  was  the  beginning;  there  were 
much  hard  work  and  many  disappoint- 
ments before  me,  but  it  is  wonderful 
what  a  tremendous  force  ambition  is  in 
our  lives — the  moment  we  attain  even 
a  little  success,  we  no  longer  count  our 
struggles." 

Mr.  Dexter's  stage  experience  in- 
cluded playing  in  "The  Tyranny  of 
Tears,"  with  John  Drew ;  "The  Heir  of 
the  Hurrah,"  with  Guy  Bates  Post ; 
"Diplomacy,"  and  with  "The  Lily." 

After  reaching  stardom  on  the  stage 
he  was  wilting  to  experiment  in  pic- 
tures and  played  with  Marguerite  Clark 
in  'Helene  of  the  North."  Tho  en- 
joying the  work  and  seeing  the  possibili- 
ties he  was  not  quite  ready  to  forsake

season  before  making  another  picture. 
This  time  it  was  with  Hazel  Dawn  in 
"The  Masquerader."  When  this  was 
completed  he  had  fully  succumbed  to 
the  lure  of  motion  pictures,  and  casting

SHADOWLAND 

A     Magazine     for     Dreamers 

cKany  a  man  has  a  secret  dream 

Of  where  his  heart  would  be ; 
^Ine  Is  a  low  oerandahed  hut 

In  a  tope  beside  the  sea." 

So  sang  Laurence  Hope  and  few  people  knew  more  about 
dreams  and  shadows  than  she  did.  Dreams  were  all  about  her 
— the  pink  flowering  almonds  of  Kandahar — the  hiding  places 
of  the  blue  poppy — the  purple  fields  of  peaks  that  stretch  from 
Northem  India  to  the  snows  of  Thibet — the  shadow  of  clouds 
upon  fields  of  iris  —  the  shadows  of  moonlight  falling  on 
mosque  and  tower  and  minaret.  To  read  her  is  to  see  the 
Char  Minar  again,  to  feel  once  more  the  scent  of  the  yellow 
jessamine  and  the  champac. 

Every  dreamer  knows  that  the  shadow  is  sometimes  more  than 
the  substance — it  was  Emerson  himself  who  said  that  the 
faintest  reverie  is  divine. 

Shadowland  will  call  your  dreams  to  mind.  Something  of  all 
men's  dreams  will  come  into  it — the  dream  home  and  the 
dream  child;  dream  pictures;  dream  plays  and  the  players  that 
haunt  our  dreams;  poetry  and  those  age-long  dreams  of  the 
human  race — health  and  happiness. 

If  Laurence  Hope  could  come  back  to  the  world  she  loved,  we 
venture  to  say  that  she  would  like  "Shadowland.'' 

She  would  say  that  it  fits  into  a  world  where  dreams  are  king 
— where  men  first  dream  of  what  they  wish  to  do  and  then 
find  means  to  make  their  dreams  come  true. 

If  you  are  a  dreamer,  you  belong  to  us.

MOTION   PICTURE   CLASSIC 

Elliott  Dexter  Has  Come  Back 

(Coiitiimed  from  page  108) 

vanced  until  now  he  takes  his  place  in 
the  ranks  of   the   foremost   favorites. 

Elliott  Dexter  has  not  depended  on 
his  charming  personality  and  his  good 
looks  for  popularity,  but  he  has  given  us 
splendid  acting  that  makes  his  finely 
drawn  characters  stand  out  as  real  hu- 
man beings.  His  work  is  always  the 
essence  of  good  taste  and  perfection  of 
detail,  and  no  less  an  authority  than 
Cecil  De  Mille  declares  that  his  tech- 
nique is  the  most  fiijished  of  any  actor 
on  the  screen  today. 

"Do  you  study  the  script  and  thus 
form  the  idea  of  your  role?"  I  ques- 
tioned, curious  as  to  his  mode  of  pro- 
L-edure. 

Relighting  his  pipe,  Mr.  Dexter  re- 
plied, "Usually  De  Mille  tells  us  the 
story,  painting  it  so  vividly  that  I  see 
my  character,  clear  and  distmct,  as  if 
it  were  photographed  before  me.  I  have 
always  been  able  to  do  this,  for  even 
on  the  stage  I  visualized  my  role  with 
the  entire  action,  as  soon  as  I  read  the 
play." 

"What  a  gift  for  directing!"  I  ex- 
claimed.   "Will  you  direct — some  day?" 

"I  hope  so,"  he  smilingly  confessed. 
"I  can  think  of  no  greater  satisfaction 
than  to  have  directed  a  successful  pic- 
ture, and  seeing  it  on  the  screen  know 
it  will  be  shown  all  over  the  world, 
swaving  thousands  with  its  message." 

"It  must  give  you  a  little  thrill  to 
know  so  many  friends  and  admirers  are 
welconiiiijr  you  back  to  health  and  the 
screen  with  sincere  affection,"  I  re- 
marked, after  Gloria  Swanson,  William 
De  Mille,  Wanda  Hawley,  Wallace 
Reid,  Major  Robert  Warwick,  Raymond 
Hatton,  Alvin  WyckofT,  and  Director 
Wood  had  filed  by  joyfully  extending 
their  hearty  greeting. 

Mr.  Dexter's  voice  was  a  bit  husky 
as  he  replied,  "I  can  never  express  all 
that  it  means  to  me.  Oh,  I  am  so  happy 
to  be  back!"  And  stretching  out  his 
arms,  he  took  in  the  whole  world. 

Elliott  Dexter  possesses  a  simplicity 
and  a  genuine  modesty  that  are  of  a 
very  fine  quality-  He  has  sounded  a 
new  depth,  he  has  caught  a  new  in- 
sight into  emotional  intensities,  which 
promises  an  added  stren^h  and  warmth 
in  the  upbuilding  of  his  future  work 
in  motion  pictures. 

THE  WRITING  FAMILY 
By  La  Touche  Hancock 
We  arc  a  writing  family. 

We  are !    We  arc  I    We  are ! 
My  mother,  brother,  sister, 

Myself,  and  even  pal 
Mother  writes  .short  stories. 

Which  nobody  will  read; 
Sister's  writing  play  on  play. 

Which  never  will  succeed! 
I  write  so-called  poetry, 

Which  nobody  will  print; 
Uespite  rejection  notices 

I  never  take  the  hint  I 
Brother  writes  facetious  screeds, 

Which  are  the  greatest  trash. 
While  pa  writes  checks  upon  his  bank, 

Which  nobody  will  cash! 
Oh  I  we  are  a  writing  family. 

We  are!    We  are!    We  are!

Fame  and  Fortune  Contest 

for  1920 

THE  first  Faune  and  Fortune  Contest  having  come  to  a  happy  and  successful  end.  and  sereral 
pmspectiTe  stars  of  the 'first  magnitude  having  been  selected  and  started  on  their  careers,  it 
is  with  pleasure  that  we  announce  a  similar   contest   for  the  year    1980,  beginning  with   the 
January  number  of 

Motion  Picture  Magazine,  Classic 
and  Shadoivland 

Once  more  we  shaB  go  thru  America  with  a  fine-tooth  comb,  as  it  were,  in  search  for 
budding  beauties  with  Motitm  Picture  ambitioos.  No  longer  can  any  young  lady  or  giil  say  that 
she  has  not  bad  a  chance  We  shall  give  them  all  a  chance — that  is,  every  one  diat  appears  to  have 
sufficient  personality,  charm,  beauty  and  winsomeness.  The  first  test  is  the  photograph.  If  that 
gives  promise,  we  publish  it  and  ask  for  more.  If  the  others  are  equally  promising,  we  secure  a  per- 
sonal interview,  and  finally  we  make  a  "test"  Moving  Picture  and  send  it  broadcast  thru  the  theaters. 
Many  of  the  girls  whose  pictures  appeared  in  the  Honor  Rolls  of  our  magazines,  received  many 
flattering  offers  from  producing  companies,  and  this  proves  that  we  are  doing  a  good  tiiiiig  for 
ambitious  American  beauties,  even  tho  we  mif^t  err  in  our  final  judgment  in  selecting  the  winners. 
The  Hcmor  Ro}b  will  craitinue  each  month  in  aD  of  our  publications,  thus  giving  something  like 
two  hmmdrtd  girls  lumorable  mention,  including  a  published  photo.  One  or  UMne  of  these  we 
promise  wiO  be  made 

Stars  of  International  Fame 

Just  think  of  what  a  prise  this  is!  The  contest  just  closed  attracted  nation-wide  attentiom. 
The  newspapers  everywhere  published  illustrated  accounts  of  our  final  test,  and  several  of  the 
News  Weeklies  of  Current  Events  showed  scenes  of  the  happy  party  at  Boslyn,  which  were  flashed 
on  nearly  every  screen  thruout  the  United  States. 

What  an  opportunity!  If  it  does  not  interest  jro«,  tell  your  nei^bor  about  it  or  your  distant 
friend — they  may  have  a  daughter  just  looking  for  a  chance  of  this  kind. 

One  thing  we  want  to  impress  upon  all  aspirants — be  careful  in  the  dloice  of  the  photo- 
graph yon  submit.  Postcard  photos  will  not  do.  Poorly  printed  photos,  and  small  ones,  can- 
not be  considered.  We  fed  that  many  beautiful  girls  lost  ont  in  the  last  contest  just  because 
th^  did  not  go  to  the  trouble  of  consulting  a  good  photographer.  Furthermore,  dcmt  submit 
photo*  tkmt  lie!  They  may  get  you  on  the  Honor  SoU,  but  they  will  never  sec  yoo  thru.  We 
recall  in  the  last  contest  several  yiHuig  ladies  who  submitted  wonderful  pictures,  and  succeeded 
in  getting  on  the  Honor  Roll,  but  when  they  appeared  on  the  scene,  alas,  we  found  that  the 
emwuTU  had  lied.  We  want  pictures  that  do  you  full  justice,  even  flattering  mes,  but  not  dishonest 
ones.  If  yon  are  a  giant  or  a  midget,  if  yoo  have  an  impossible  profile,  or  an  u^y  nose,  or  some 
other  defect,  dont  let  the  photographer  conceal  these  things — it  will  be  to  your  loss  and  disadvan- 
tage in  the  end.  Yoor  features  may  not  be  perfect,  but  you  may  win  in  spite  of  that — only,  we  want 
to  know  aD.  Hence,  please  do  not  try  to  deceive  us.  Make  yourself  appear  to  the  best  advantage, 
but  do  not  overdo  it. 

Rules  and  date  of  Contest  opening  to  be  announced  in  next  issue.

WHO  should  walk  into  the  room  but 
Howard  Lindsay!  Of  all  men  per- 
haps he  was  the  last  I  had  expected 
to  find  as  the  president  of  this  great  new 
company.  They  had  toM  me  that  Ur.  Lind- 
j  say,  of  the  Consolidated,  was  looking  for  a 
fine  conntry  home  and  was  interested  in  bay- 
ing the  DoUard  Place  in  Englewood;  so  as 
exccntor  of  the  Dollard  estate  I  had  come  to 
I  discnss  the  terms  with  him. 

Bnt  Lindsay!  Surely  some  miracle  had 
happened.  For  it  was  the  very  man  who 
had  come  to  me  "dead  broke"  about  four 
years  back  and  had  asked  me  to  help  him 
get  a  new  job. 

"Yon  are  surprised,  Mr.  Otis.  I  can  see 
Aat  without  your  telUng  me.  Let  that  real 
estate  matter  rest  for  a  moment  while  I  tdl 
yon  how  the  change  happened.  It  won't  take 
five  minutes.  It  all  seems  simple  as  A  B  C 
as  I  look  back  on  it  now. 

How  It  AD  Bcean 

"Our  new  life  began  when  we  discovered 
how  to  tavt  money.  That  happened  soon 
after  I  started  in  the  new  job  you  helped  me 
secure.  And  it  all  came  about  right  in  my 
own  home.  Our  sole  source  of  supply  was 
my  salary  of  $3,000.  That  first  year  we  didn't 
save  a  cent  Besides  that,  we  woke  up  on 
New  Year's  day  to  find  a  big  bunch  of  unpaid 
bills  to  be  taken  care  of  somehow  or  other 
out  of  future  salary  checks. 

^'When  I  asked  myself  the  reason  for  all 
this  I  found  that  I  did  not  know  the  reason, 
and  no  more  did  my  wife,  because  we  hadn't 
the  faintest  idea  what  our  money  had  been 
spent  for. 

"Then  we  looked  around  among  our  friends 
and  learned  a  great  lesson. 

"the  Weeds,  I  knew,  were  getting  more 
than  $5,000  a  year.  They  lived  in  a  modest 
apartment,  did  not  wear  fine  clothes,  seldom 
went  to  the  theatre,  did  little  entertaining, 
yet  we  knew  they  barely  had  enough  money 
to  pay  current  bills. 

"In  the  case  of  the  Wells,  I  found  a  very 
different  story  and  one  that  set  me  thinking 
hard.  Their  income  was  $2,000  a  year,  yet, 
to  my  amazement,  they  confided  to  us  that 
they  had  saved  $600  a  year  ever  since  they 
were  married.  They  didn't  have  any  grand 
opera  in  their  program — except  on  their  little 
Victrola— bnt  they  did  go  to  the  theatre 
regularly,  they  wore  good  clothes,  entertained 
their  friends  at  their  home  and  were  about 
the  happiest  and  most  contented  couple  of  all 
our  married  friends. 

"TTie  difference  between  these  two  families 
was  that  in  one  cas^  the  expenditures  were 
made  without  any  pUn — while  in  the  other 
the  mcome  was  regulated  on  a  weekly  budget 
system. 

We  sat  down  that  evening  and  made  up 
a  budget  for  alt  our  expenses  for  the  next 
Mty-two  weeks.  We  discovered  leaks  galore. 
We  found  a  hundred  wavs  where  little 
•"nounu  could  be  saved. 

In  one  short  month  we   liad  a  'strangle 


hold'  on  our  expenses  and  knew  just  where 
we  were  going.  In  one  year  my  wife  proudly 
produced  a  bank  book  showing  a  tidy  sav- 
ings account  of  $800. 

My  New  Giq>  on  Bnsiiieas 

"In  the  meantime  an  extraordinary  change 
had  come  over  me  in  business. 

"I  didn't  fully  realize  this  until  the  presi- 
dent called  me  in  one  day  and  said,  'Lindsay, 
you  have  been  doing  exceptionally  welL  I 
have  been  studying  your  work  for  the  last 
year  and  yon  have  saved  the  company  a  lot 
of  money.  We  have  decided  to  give  you  an 
interest  in  the  business.' 

"So  there  you  are.  It  is  wonderful,  isn't  it? 
I  often  wish  I  might  tell  my  story  to  the 
thousands  of  young  married  couples  who  are 
having  the  hardest  time  of  their  lives  just 
when  they  ought  to  be  having  the  best  time." 

So  now  I  have  the  opportunity  and  you  are 
tacky,  if  only  you  will  act  on  the  wonderful 
message  this  story  contains.

The  Magic  Bodgct  Plan 

The  Ferrin  Money  Making  Account  System 
is  built  on  the  experience  of  Howard  Lindsay. 
This  system,  which  is  simplicity  itself,  com- 
prises: 

The  Ferr  i  Money  Making  Account  Book. 

The  Fei-rin  Kitchen  Calendar  (for  the 
household). 

The  Ferrin  Pocket  Account  Book. 

The  Ferrin  Investment  and  Insurance 
Register. 

The  Ferrin  Household  Inventory  and  Fire 
Insurance  Record. 

Compact  information  is  given  on  Making 
a  Budget,  Keeping  Expense  Accounts,  Mak- 
ing Safe  Investments,  Making  an  Inventory 
of  Household  Goods. 

There  is  no  red  tape  or  complicated  book- 
keeping in  this  system — it  is  so  simple  that 
any  one  can  keep  it — so  convenient  that  yon 
will  not  notice  the  few  moments  of  yom'  time 
required  to  make  entries.  The  Pocket  Ac- 
count Book  (price  when  sold  separately  50 
cents)  contains  frmtcd  slips  so  that  yon  have 
only  to  jot  down  the  amounts  of  i  your  daily 
expenditures.  The  Kitchen  Calendar  (price 
50  cents)  keeps  track  of  householn  expenses. 
At  the  end  of  each  week  or  month  these 
amonnts  are  transferred  to  the  Money  Mak- 
-ing  Account  Book,  which  contains  112  pages, 
size  6^x10^  inches,  and  is  bound  in  half  blue 
Silk  Cloth  Back— Cadet  Blue  Cover,  Paper 
Sides — ^Turned  Edges,  semi-Bcxible,  stamped 
in  gold  on  Front  Cover.  This  book  has  been 
prepared  by  an  expert  to  fit  any  salary  from 
the  smallest  to  the  largest.  Incorporated  in 
it  is  a  recapitulation  for  every  month  of  the 
year,  which  shows  at  a  glance  the  Budget  and 
the  amounts  paid  out  during  the  month  for 
the  \arious  classified  items  of  expense.  It  is 
the  only  book  to  our  knowledge  which  has  a 
Budget  column  for  every  month.  Special 
columns  are  provided  for  items  on  which  an 
income  tax  does  not  have  to  be  paid,  so  that 


these  amonnts  may  be  deducted  at  the  cad 
of  the  year. 

One  Money  Saving  Feature 

.A  war  tax  is  now  levied  on  almost  every 
kind  of  aiticle  you  buy.  Few  people  know 
that  the  amounts  so  paid  on  daily  purchases 
may  properly  be  deducted  from  their  income 
tax  report.  By  keeping  track  of  these  war 
taxes  on  the  pages  for  daily  expenditures,  and 
transferring  the  weekly  or  monthly  totals  to 
the  Money  Making  Account  Book,  you  will 
effect  a  saving  on  your  income  tax  that  will 
surprise  you  and  that  will  pay  the  small  price 
of  the  System  many  times  over. 

The  Ferrin  Investment  Insurance  Register 
IS  designed  to  keep  an  accurate  record  of 
your  investments,  insurance  policies,  etc 
Contains  32  pages,  size  5x8  inches,  price  sep- 
arately, 50c.  The  Ferrin  Inventory  and  Fire 
Insurance  Record  will  enable  you  to  make 
and  keep  a  complete  inventory  of  every  room 
in  the  house;  also  provides  for  record  of  your 
fire  insurance  policy.  It  is  an  absolute  neces- 
sity in  case  of  a  fire.  It  may  save  you  many 
thousand  times  the  cost,  which  is  50c  when 
sold  separately. 

Two  Mimitf»  a  Day 

The  Ferrin  Money  Making  Account  System 
takes  only  two  minutes  a  day.  Any  bright 
grammar  school  boy  or  girl  can  keep  the 
accounts.    This  method  is  not  a  hard  task. 

Now  you  need  not  worry  about  the  money 
you  spend  for  clothes,  food,  rent  or  the 
tnotre.  You  will  spend  it  freely  be<ause  you 
^rMkaov  how  much  you  can  afford  to  spend. 

The  Ferrin  Money  Making  System  is  a 
most  practical  gift  to  any  newly  married 
couple.  Many  people  use  them  for  Christmas 
gifts.

No  money  in  advance.  Not  a  cent!  Simply  make  your 
request  via  the  coupon  below  if  you  want  this  brand  new 
Oliver  Typewriter  for  five  days  free  trial  in  your  own  home 
or  office.  Use  this  Oliver  for  five  days  as  if  it  were  your 
own.  Type  all  your  letters  or  any  other  work  with  it.  Put 
it  to  every  conceivable  test.  Compare  it  with  any  $100  type- 
writer on  the  market.  Compare  it  for  simplicity  of  construc- 
tion. For  beauty  of  finish.  For  ease  of  operation.  For 
speed.  For  neatness  of  work.  Then  if,  after  5  days  free 
trial,  you  do  not  wish  to  keep  the  typewriter  for  any  reason 
whatsoever,    simply    send    it   back    to    us    and    you   won't   be 


out  one  cent  for  the  free  trial.  If,  on  the  other  hand,  you 
decide  that  it  is  the  finest  typewriter,  and  you  wish  to  keep 
it,  then  pay  us  at  the  easy  rate  of  only  $3  a  month.  This  is 
the  open,  free  trial  offer  we  make  to  you  on  the  Oliver  to 
let  you  see  for  yourself  that  if  any  typewriter  is  worth  $100 
it  is  this  splendid,  speedy  Oliver  No.  9,  cur  latest  model  and 
the  finest  we  ever  built.  Who  could  make  such  an  offer  of 
free  trial  and  ship  without  money  unless  they  had  absolute 
confidence  in  the  quality  of  their  product  proved  by  years  of 
experience? 


Save  $43 


For  $57  you  can  now  obtain  the  identical 
Oliver  Typewriter  formerly  priced  at  $100. 
We  are  able  to  save  you  nearly  half  because 
of  our  radically  new  and  economical  method 
of  distribution.  During  the  war  we  learned 
many  lessons.  We  found  that  it  was  unneces- 
sary to  have  such  a  vast  number  of  traveling 
salesmen  and  so  many  expensive  branch  houses 
throughout  the  country.  We  were  able  to 
discontinue  many  other  superfluous  sales 
methods,  The  result  is  that  we  can  afford  to 
sell  at  $57  the  very  same  Oliver  formerly 
priced   at  $100.

THE   big   thing  that   Paramount  Pictures   have  done  for   you  is  to; 
take    the    gamble    out    of    choosing    motion    picture    entertainment. 
Time  was  when  you  took  a  chance  every  time  you    paid    your 
money — every  fan  remembers  it.     And  even  now  it  isn't  everybody  who 
knows  how  to  avoid  taking  chances. 

Pleasure-time   is   not   so   plentiful   that  it  can   be  wasted   anyhow. 
But  note  this:   Wherever  you  see  the  name  Paramount  you  can 
bank  on  a  good  show. 

It  is  not  a  question  of  taking  anybody's  word,  it's  simply  a  question 
of  reading  the  announcements  of  the  better  theatres  everywhere,  checkmg 
up  the  brand  names  of  the  pictures,  and  choosing  the  Paramount  Art- 
craft   features.    Paramount   Comedies    and    Paramount    short   subjects. 
Go  by  the  name  and  you're  in  line  for  something  good.

THE  GIRL  ON  THE  COVER 

(Painted    by   Leo    Sielke,   Jr.,   from  a   photograph   by   Ned 
Van  Buren.) 

Just  now  Doris  Kenyon  is  dividing  her  time  between  the 
foothghts  and  the  film  studios.  She  is  playing  on  Broadway 
in  the  highly  successful  farce,  "The  Girl  in  the  Limousine." 
A  native  of  Bridgeport,  Conn.,  Miss  Kenyon  has  lived  in 
Brooklyn  and  Syracuse.  She  is  a  graduate  of  Packer 
Institute,  Brooklyn,  and  of  Columbia  Universit}'. 

Miss  Kenyon  went   on   the    stage   in  "Princess   Pat"   and  was  quickly 
discovered  by  the  cinema,   doing  her  first  important  role  with  Alice  Brady  in 
World's    "The    Rack."      She   has    forged    rapidly   to   the    front    and   is    now   one 
screenland's   favorites.

A  Wife  Too  Many 

Into  the  hotel  lobby  walked  a  beautiful 
woman  and  a  distinguished  man.  Little  in- 
deed did  the  gay  and  gallant  crowd  know 
that  around  these  heads  there  flew  stories  of 
terror — -of  murder — -and  treason  —  that  on 
their  entrance  half  a  dozen  detectives  sprang 
up  from  different  parts  of  the  place. 

Because  of  them  the  lights  of  the  War  De- 
partment in  Washington  blazed  far  into  the 
night.  About  their  fate  was  wound  the 
tragedy  of  a  broken  marriage,  of  a  fortune 
lost,  of  a  nation  betrayed. 

It  is  a  wonderful  story  with  the  kind  of 
mystery  that  you  will  sit  up  nights  trying  to 
fathom.  It  is  just  one  of  the  stories  fash- 
ioned by  that  master  of  mystery

He  is  the  detective  genius  of  our  age.  He 
has  taken  science — science  that  stands  for 
this  age — and  allied  it  to  the  mystery  and 
romance  of  detective  fiction.  Even 
to  the  smallest  detail,  every  bit 
of  the  plot  is  worked  out  scien- 
tifically. 

Such  plots — such  suspense — 
with  real,  vivid  people  moving 
through  the  maelstrom  of  life! 
Frenchmen  have  mastered  the 
art  of  terror  stories.  English 
■writers  have  thrilled  whole  na- 
tions by  their  artful  heroes.  But 
— all  these  seem  old-fashioned — 
out  of  date — beside  the  infinite 
variety — the  weird  excitement  of 
Arthur  B.  Reeve's  tales.

istor.—FAy  Bainter  in  "East  Is  West. 
The  story  of  a  quaint  little  Chinese  maid  who 
falls  in  love  with  a  young  American.  Racial 
barriers  seem  insurmountable,  hut  there  is  a 
happy  and  surprising  ending.  Has  all  the  in- 
gredients of  popular  drama.  Miss  Baintcr  is 
picturesquely  pleasing.  „    ,  .     ,         j 

Casino  —"The  Little  Whopper."  Lively  and 
amusing  musical  comedy  with  tuneful  score  by 
Rudolf  Friml.  Vivienne  Segal  pleasantly  heads

Cor/.— "Abraham  Lincoln."  \ou  should  see 
this  if  vou  see  nothing  else  on  the  New  \ork 
■■tage.  John  Drinkwater's  play  is  a  noteworthy 
literary  and  dramatic  achievement,  for  he 
makes  the  Great  American  live  again.  Abra- 
ham Lincoln"  cannot  fail  to  make  you  a  better 
\mcrican.  Moreover,  it  is  absorbing  as  a  play. 
Frank    McGlyn,    a    discovery,    is    a    brilliant 

Lincoln.  ^  .      ,    „       ,,.  ,  , 

Coim'rfv.  — "My  Lady  Friends.  Highly 
amusing  entertainment,  adapted  from  a  Conti- 
nental farce.  Much  of  the  humor  is  due  to 
the  able  work  of  Clifton  Crawford  in  the  role 
of  a  guileless  young  publisher  of  Bibles  whose 
efforts  to  spend  money  get  him  into  all  sorts 
of  difficulties.  June  Walker  scores  in  Mr. 
Crawford's  support.  „,,.,,  ,  ,  , 
Ci'»/i(r.v— ".^phrodlte."  Highly  colored  and 
lavish  presentation  of  a  drama  based  upon 
Pierre  Louys'  e.xotic  novel  of  ancient  Alexan- 
dria. Superbly  staged  adaptation  oi  the  play 
that  caused  a  sensation  in  Pans.  Dorothy 
Dalton  the  screen  star,  returns  to  the  stage  m 
the  principal  role  of  the  Galilean  courtesan, 
Chrysis,  and  scores.  McKay  Morris  is  ad- 
mirable in  the  principal  male  role.  The  ballet 
directed  by  Michel  Fokine,  is  spirited  and 
colorful.  ,  _,     ^       ,  -.       ,       ,„ 

Cohan  and  Harris.— "The  Royal  Vagabond. 
A  Cohanized  opera  comique  in  every  sense  ot

speed  pep  and  brash  American  humor  Also 
tinkling  music.  And  a  corking  cast,  with  Grace 
Fisher,  Tessa  Kosta,  John  Goldsworthy  and 
Frederick  Santley.  „     .,  „      .

sical entertainment  built  about  the  lale  Clyde 
Fitch's  "The  Blue  Mouse."  Tuneful  music  by

Eltingc— "The  Girl  in  the  Limousine  A 
decidedly  daring  boudoir  farce,  by  Wilson 
Collison  and  Avery  Hopuood,  in  which  a  pink 
and  white  bed  is  invaded  by  every  member  ot 
the  cast  during  the  progress  of  the  evening. 
John  Cumberland  is  very  funny  and  Uoris 
Kenyon,  fresh  from  the  screen,  is  both  pretty 
and  pleasing  as  the  heroine.  .  „ 
Forly-fourth  Street  Theater.-  Carnival. 
A  British-made  romantic  drama  of  Venice  at 
carnival  time  marking  the  first  appearance  of 
the  English  favorite,  Godfrey  Tearle.  iVlr. 
Tearlc  seems  an  actor  of  unusual  attainments, 
but  the  drama  is  dreary,  out-of-date  stuH.^ 

George  M.  Co/u7H'.r.-Elsie  Jams  and  her 
eang"  Lively  entertainment  built  about  the 
experiences  of  the  A,  E.  F.  on  the  other  side. 
Well  put  together  by  Miss  Jams,  who  shines 
with  decided  brightness.    A  pleasant  entertain- 

'"c/obi-.— "Apple  Blossoms."  The  ambitious 
and  much  heralded  operetta  of  Fritz  Kreisler 
and  Victor  Jacobi  plus  colorful  Joseph  Urban 
settings.  An  offering  far  above  the  miisical 
average.  John  Charles  Thomas  sings  admir- 
ably Wilda  Bennett  is  an  attractive  heroine

highly  amusing  comedy  by  Salisbury  hield. 
Admirably  written  and  charmingly  played  by 
Margaret  Lawrence  and  Wallace  Eddinger. 
One  of  the  things  you  should  see. 

Hi/./'orfromc'.— "Happy  Days.  Big  and  spec- 
tacular production  typical  of  the  Hippodrome. 
The  diving  girls  are  again  a  feature,  disporting 
in  the  huge  "Hip"  tank.  .      t-    ,  .     .     .,

delightful  comedy,  built  about  the  way  a  re- 
turned soldier  rc-united  a  disturbed  but  typi- 
cally American  household.  Superb  perform- 
ances by  .Alfred  Lunt.  Glenn  Hunter  and  Helen 
Hayes  give  the  comedy  a  fine  verve. 

LvriV.— "The  Rose  of  China."  A  pleasant 
musical  comedy,  in  a  way  a  sort  of  Chinese 
"Madam  Butterfly."  Clever  lyrics,  striking  Ur- 
ban settings  and  a  fairly  adequate  cast.  Rather 
tuneful. 

Maxine  Elliott's.— "The  Unknown  Woman. 
.\  very  emotional  melodrama  with  Marjoric 
Rambeau  in  Bendel  gowns  and  tears.  ^  Jean 
Robertson  contributes  a  vivid  bit  as  a  "dope." 
il/orojco.— "Civilian  Clothes."  A  delightful 
comedy  to  please  everybody.  Brand  new  idea 
and  cfeverlv  worked  out.  Thurston  Hall  in 
the  title  rofe  shares  the  honors  with  beautiful 
Olive  Tell.     Support  excellent. 

/'/y?iuJM//i.— "The  Jest."  Arthur  Hopkins 
production  of  Sem  Benelli's  colorful  and  grip- 
ping Florentine  drama.  John  Barrymore  is 
again  seen  in  his  original  role.  An  admirable 
cast  and  Robert  Edmund  Jones'  settings  lend 
splendid  aid. 

/V,ik-.-jj.— "Nightie  Night."  Described  by 
the  program  as  a  "wide  awake  farce,"  "Nightie 
Night"  lives  up  to  its  billing.  It  has  plenty  of 
verve,  ginger  and  some  dancing.  There  are 
scores  of  laughs.  Heading  the  very  adequate 
cast  are  Francis  Byrne,  Suzanne  WiUa,  Mal- 
colm Duncan  and  Dorothy  Mortimer. 

.Shubert.—"The  Magic  Melody."  JK  "roman- 
tic musical  play"  with  a  tuneful  score  and  a 
picturesque  Willy  Pogany  setting.  Charles 
Purcell  Fay  Marbe,  Julia  Deane,  Earl  Ben- 
ham  and  Carmel  Myers,  the  last  two  well 
known  to  the  screen,  head  the  cast  _^ 

Thirty-ninth  Street  Theater.—  'Scandal, 
Cosmo 'Hamilton's  daring  drama  which  Con- 
stance Talmadge  played  on  the  screen.  Fran-

IVititer  Carden.^"The  Passing  Show  of 
1919."  A  typical  girly  garden  show  in  which 
the  famous  runway  gets  plenty  of  use.  The 
revue  presents  a  number  of  travesties  upon 
current  attractions,  particularly  colorful  being 
that  of  "The  Jest,"  with  George  Winninger 
doing  a  clever  burlesque  of  Lionel  Barrymore.

Judge 


When  ,\iiu  sent  me  up  for 
four  year-",  you  called  me  a 
rattleSQake.  Maybe  I  am  one 
— anyhow  you  hear  me  rattling 
now.  One  year  after  I  got  to 
tbe  pen,  my  daughter  died 
erf  —  well,  they  said  it  was 
poferty  and  the  disgrace  to- 
Cetlicr.  You've  got  a  daugh- 
ter. Judge,  and  I  am  going  to 
make  you  know  how  it  feels  to 
lose  one.  I'm  free  now,  and 
I  guess  I've  turned  to  rattle- 
snake all  right.  Look  out 
when  I  strike.  Yours  respect- 
fully. RatllBSnake. 

This  ia  the  beginning  of  one 
«f  Uie  storlea  by    O.    HENRY. 


"A  Thief— She?" 

AND  YET— with  a  shiver  she 
told  him  oU  the  sordid  story  I 
Tbe  stage  life — the  nights  of 
drunkenness — the  days  of  re- 
morse for  her  sin — all  was 
poured  out  In  the  desperate 
t«lo.  Bui  be  loved  her  in  spite 
of  all,  and— then  came  the 
astounding  truth— tbe  unex- 
pected twist— that  makes  O. 
Henry  the  most  eagerly  read 
of   American   story-tellers. 


He  Dared  More  Than 
All  His  Heroes 

Two  hundred  miles  out  on 
the  Padfle  with  a  boat  leak- 
ing at  every  seam,  with  every 
memt>er  aboard  seasick  from 
tbe  endless  tosalng  —  wilh 
bands  blistered  from  the 
ropvs — there  and  then.  Jack 
London     learned     naTigstlon. 

Be  buUt  blmselt  a  cockle- 
ahrtl.  and  In  it,  with  his 
wife,  sailed  nearly  around  the 
world.  Go  with  him  to  the 
freeslng  North.  Follow  him 
to  tbe  South  St'as.  Fight 
jour  way  with  him  around 
th  ■  Horn.  He  waa  more  real. 
Dion  primitive,  than  an;  of 
bU  heroes.  Along  the  Ice- 
bound Yukon  be  had  tri-kked 
witb  decs  and  alelgha  and 
bunf«r — on  the  coral  Smith 
Be*  Inland*  be  bad  battled 
wltb  typhoons  and  man-oatlng 
cannibals.

THE  sets  of  Jack  London  which  have  been  given 
FREE  with  O.  Henry  are  handsome  sets  of 
books  and  we  cannot  afford  to  continue  to  give 
such  books  away. 

We  have  the  choice  of  discontinuing  the  offer  or 
giving  you  flimsier  books.  We  prefer  to  stop  the 
offer. 

Before  doing  so  we  wish  to  make  this  one  an- 
nouncement. As  long  as  the  present  edition  lasts 
you  can  get  the  O.  Henry  at  its  regular  price  and 
the  Jack  London  FREE.  This,  however,  is  your 
last  chance.  Send  the  coupon  without  money  at 
once  and  get  your  O.  Henry  for  examination  and 
lack  London  FREE. 


O.  Henry 

O.  Henry  has  made  another  record.  More  vol- 
umes of  his  works  have  been  sold  than  any  other 
short  stories  in  the  history  of  the  world.  Lip  to  the 
day  this  page  goes  to  press  3,784,000  volumes  have 
been  sold — in  England  and  Australia,  France  and 
Germany — throughout  the  world — over  two  million 
in  the  United  States  alone.  So  many  editions  have 
been  printed  that  the  old  plates  were  entirely  worn 
out  and  we  had  to  make  brand  new  plates  for  this 
edition.  So  you  will  get  the  very  best  impression 
from  these  new  plates — the  clearest,  cleanest  print 
you  have  ever  seen. 

Your  Last  Chance 

This  is  the  last  edition  of  Jack  London's  works 
we  can  get  at  the  special  price  which  permits  of  our 
giving  them  free  with  O.  Henry.  When  this  one 
edition  is  gone  (and  there  are  only  a  few  hundred 
sets  now  left)  you  will  be  able  to  get  Jack  London's 
wonderful  stories  only  at  their  regular  price  of  $1.00 
or  more  a  volume. 

Now,  while  you  can,  get  the  O.  Henry  at  the  low    ^*""""~" 
price  with  the  Jack  London /ree.    Dont  be  left     *         "j^io'

MOTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC 

Stage  Plays  That  Are  Worth  While 

(Continued  from  page  6) 

light  show  running  in  the  usual  groove.  Fran- 
ces Cameron,  who  is  developing  remarkably, 
is  the  bright  figure  of  ".A.  Lonely  Romeo," 
while  Mr.  Fields  is  his  humorous  self.  There's 
a  decidedly  funny  scene  in  a  men's  hat  shop. 
"Cliil  Chin  Chow."  An  opulent  and  beauti- 
ful musical  extravaganza  based  upon  the 
.\rabian  Nights  tale  of  Ali  Baba  and  the  Forty 
Thieves.  Dazzling  series  of  sensuous  stage 
pictures.  "Chu  Chu  Chow"  is  presented  this 
year  with  an  entirely  new  edition  and  new  cos- 
tumes. Marjorie  Wood  makes  a  colorful 
desert  woman,  Lionel  Braham  is  very  effective 
as  the  robber  sheik  and  Eugene  Cowles  makes 
the  role  of  steward  stand  out.  George  Rosely 
plays  the  young  lover  admirably. 

"La  La  Lucille."  Musical  comedy  built 
around  the  efforts  of  a  loving  couple  to  arrange 
a  divorce  in  order  to  live  up  to  the  terms  of  a 
millionaire  aunt's  will.  A  co-respondent  is  en- 
gaged and  troubles  begin.  John  E.  Hazzard 
and  Janet  Velie  play  the  wx)uld-be  divorcees, 
while  Marjorie  Bentley  and  Helen  Clark  give 
able  assistance.  Light  summer  entertainment. 
The  Shubert  Gaieties  of  igig.  A  lively  revue 
with  scores  of  statuesque  girls  and  stunning 
frocks.  A  decidedly  attractive  entertainment. 
"John  Ferguson."  A  straight  drama  that 
compares  favorably  with  anything  of  the  kind 
that  New  York  has  seen  for  years.  Beautifully 
staged  and  acted.  Masterpieces  of  this  kind 
should  be  liberally  patronized  to  encourage 
others. 

George  White's  "Scandals  of  1919."  All 
sorts  and  variations  of  dancing  make  up  for 
a  lack  of  story  or  humor.  The  real  star  is 
piquant  little  Ann  Pennington — as  seductive  a 
little  jazzer  as  ever  shimmied  on  Broadway. 
Then  there's  the  lively  dancing  of  Mr.  White 
himself. 

"Friendly  Enemies."  This  is  the  record- 
breaking  comedy  drama  of  last  season,  with 
Louis  Mann  in  his  original  role. 

"Three  Wise  Fools."  Austin  Strong's  hu- 
man little  drama  of  three  crusty  old  bachelors 
who  are  bequeathed  a  young  woman  and  who 
are  subsequently  rejuvenated.  Melodrama 
with  a  heart  throb.  Helen  Menken  gives  a 
striking  performance  of  the  nerve-racked  hero- 
ine, while  Claude  Gillingwater  is  a  delightfully 
testy  old  Teddy  Findley. 

"She's  a  Good  Fellow."  A  light  but  pleasant 
musical  comedy  built  about  the  efforts  of  old 
folks  to  break  up  a  marriage  between  a  loving 
young  couple.  Joseph  Santley  is  a  likeable 
lover-husband,  masquerading  in  skirts  for  a 
whole  act.  Ivy  Sawyer,  the  very  pleasing  Ann 
Orr  and  Scott  Welsh  lend  delightful  assist- 
ance. 

"jp  East."  A  charming  comedy  founded  on 
a  boarding  school  romance  in  which  many  in- 
teresting characters  make  love-making  difficult 
for  a  pair  of  j-oung  lovers. 

"Up  in  Mabel's  Room."  Piquant,  daring  but 
decidedly  amusing  farce  built  about  the  pursuit 
of  a  dainty  pink  undergarment  which  bears  the 
same  name  as  a  recent  jazz  dance.  Admirable 
cast,  including  the  radiant  Hazel  Dawn. 

"Three  Faces  East."  .Another  Secret  Ser- 
vice-German spy  drama,  this  one  by  Anthony 
Paul  Kelly,  one  of  our  most  successful  photo- 
playwrights.  The  principal*  charm  of  this  play 
is  in  trying  to  guess  who  are  the  German  spies 
and  who  are  the  Allies,  just  as  we  were  puzzled 
in  "Cheating  Cheaters"  to  know  who  were 
burglars  and  who  were  not.

AT  NIGHT- 

a  thorough  bath 
for  your  Face- 


If  yoii  want  a  skin  that 

is  clear,  brilliant  with 

color — let  it  breathe  at  night 


TINYinvisibledustparticles 
—  always,  always  falling 
on  your  unprotected  face ! 

In  crowds — in  shops — in  theatres 
— all  day  long,  while  you  are 
going  unconsciously  about  your 
occupations — the  delicate  skin  of 
your  face  is  exposed  to  millions  of 
unseen  enemies. 

That  is  why  a  thorough  bath 
for  your  skin  at  night  is  so 
important. 

During  your  eight  hours  of 
sleep  the  skin  of  your  face  should 
be  allowed  to  rest — to  breathe. 
The  delicate  pores  should  be 
freed  from  the  dust  and  dirt  that 
have  accumulated  during  the  day. 

For  remember — authorities  on  the 
skin  now  agree  that  most  of  the  com- 
moner skin  troubles  come,  not  from 
the  blood — but  from  bacteria  and 
parasites  that  are  carried  into  the  pores 
from  outside,  through  dust  and  small 
particles  in  the  air. 

If,  from  neglect  or  the  wrong  meth- 
od of  cleansing,  your  skin  has  lost  the 
flawless  clearness  it  should  have — if 
it  is  marred  by  blackheads — by  dis- 
figuring little  blemishes — begin  tonight 
to  change  this  condition.  You  can 
make  your  skin  just  what  it  should 
be.  For  every  day  it  is  changing — 
old  skin  dies  and  new  skin  takes  its 
place.  By  giving  the  new  ikin,  as  it 
forms,  the  special  treatment  its  need 


demands,  you  can  make  it  as  soft, 
as  clear  and  smooth  as  you  would 
like  to  have  it. 

The  famous  treatment  for 
blackheads 

Perhaps,  in  your  case,  failure  to  use 
the  right  method  of  cleansing  for  your 
type  of  skin  has  resulted  in  disfigur- 
ing little  blackheads.  This  condition 
can  be  overcome — and  your  skin  can 
be  smooth  and  clear  in  fiiture. 

To  keep  your  skin  free  from  this 
trouble,  try  using  every  night  this  fa- 
mous treatment: 

Apply  hot  cloths  to  the  face  until 
the  skin  is  reddened.  Then  with  a 
rough  washcloth,  work  up  a  heavy 
lather  of  Woodbury's  Facial  Soap  and 
rub  it  into  the  pores  thoroughly,  al- 
ways with  an  upward  and  outward 
motion.  Rinse  with  clear,  hot  water, 
then  with  cold — the  colder  the  better. 
If  possible,  rub  your  face  for  thirty 
seconds  with  a  piece  of  ice.  Dry  care- 
fully. To  remove  the  blackheads  al- 
ready formed,  substitute  a  flesh  brush 
for  the  washcloth  in  the  treatment 
above.  Then  protect  the  fingers  with 
a  handkerchief  and  press  out  the  black- 
heads. 

Use  this  treatment  regularly,  and 
you  will  begin  in  a  few  days  to  notice 
the  greater  clearness  and  attractiveness 
it  gives  to  your  skin. 

The  famous  Woodbury  treatments 
for  each  different  skin  need — for  an 
oily  skin,  for  blemishes,  for  conspicu- 
ous nose  pores,  etc. — are  contained 
in  the  little  booklet  that  is  wrapped 


around  every   cake    of   Woodbury's 
Facial  Soap. 

Find  the  treatment  that  your  par- 
ticular type  of  skin  demands — men 
use  it  regularly  each  night  before  re- 
tiring. You  will  be  surprised  to  see 
how  quickly  your  skin  will  gain  in 
attractiveness — how  smooth,  clear  and 
colorfiJ  you  can  keep  it  by  this  care. 

Woodbury's  Facial  Soap  is  on  sale

Gloria  Swanson  is  twenty- 
one  and,  off  the  screen, 
looks  like  a  younger  sister 
of  her  celluloid  self.  The 
daughter  of  an  army  officer. 
Miss  Swanson  received  her 
education  everywhere — from 
Chicago  to  Porto  Rico 


w 


i:  reached  Gloria  Swan- 
son's  hotel  -exactly  on 
time  for  our  interview 
— 12  o'clock  noon. 

"Gracious,"    sighed   a    lan- 
guid   voice    over    the    house 
'phone,  "I'm  just  getting  up — 
and     I'm     still     half     asleep. 
Please  come  back  at  one." 
.So  we  adjourned  to  the  hotel  lobby   for  rest— and  medi- 
tation.    We  had  expected  Miss  Swanson  to  be  a   luxurious 
young  lady,  but  .   .   . 

.\t   one   we   called   her   on   the   'phone  again.      "My,   my!" 
sighed  Miss  Swanson,  "I'll  be  right  down— in  ten  minutes." 

Hut  her  voice  sounded  just  as  sleepy  as  an   hour  before. 
Knowing  something  of  the  feminine  conception  of  ten  nn'niitcs. 


we  went  for  a  walk 
1  :30  we  returned. 

The  hotel  clerk  was 
quite  sure  Miss  Swan- 
son hadn't  come  down 
yet.  So  we  waited 
whiling  away  the  time 
with  observing  the 
clerk's  technique  in  hand- 
ling the  tribulations  o 
the  hotel  guests. 

At  2  o'clock  we  knew 
the    clerk's    first    name 
was    Al    and    why    he' 
never  went  to  the  >Ieth 
odist  church. 

At  2:15  o'clock  we 
heard,  for  the  nineteenth 
time,  that  there  wasn't  a 
room  to  be  had  in  the 
hotel  at  any  price.  In 
fact,  the  waiting  list 

.A.nd  then  Miss  Swan- 
son appeared. 

Except  for  her  silken 
sleekness,  we  would 
hardly  have  recognized 
her.  The  real  Gloria 
Swanson  looks  like  the 
younger  sister  of  the 
celluloid  Gloria. 

"So  sorry,"  smiled 
Miss  Swanson,  "so-o-o 
sorry."  Xot,  of  course, 
meaning  a  word  of  it. 

"\\  e're  used  to  wait- 
ing for  beautiful  stars," 
we  reparteed.  "The 
more  beautiful  they  are, 
the  longer  they  make  us 
wait.  Just  one  player 
ever  kept  us  waiting 
longer  than  this." 

"I  wont  have  that," 
said  Miss  Swanson. 
"Try  to  interview  me 
again  tomorrow,  and  I'll 
break  that  record."

femininity   just   emerging    from    slumber. 


Then  we  took  ; 
Swanson,  like  all 
being  "famished." 

On  the  way  downtown  we  learnt  these  startling  facts: 

That  Miss  Swanson  works  every  second  of  her  time  in 
California  and  really  doesn't  luxuri.i'te  at  all. 

That  she  doesn't  want  to  keep  on  doing  the  semi-vampire 
stuff  of  her  past  few  pictures,  but  hopes  to  do  character  stuff 
such  as  her  "Why  Change  Your  Wife?"  She  will  even  don 
prim  clothes  and  spectacles  for  art. 

That  she  worships  Cecil  De  Mille. 

That  she  loves  diamond  and  platinum  bracelets.  She  wears 
three  on  her  left  wrist  alone. 

That  she  never  can  button  her  gloves.  (We  know,  because 
we  did  our  best  to  assist  her  en  route  Z'ia  taxi.)

Hut  to  interrupt  our 
findings  to  turn  to 
\\>eightier  things : 

"Tell  me  I  look 
\ijunger  olif  the  screen," 
commanded  Gloria. 

We  saw  our  duty  and 
(lid  it.  "Exactly  how 
old  am  I  ?"  she  insisted. 

We  [)arried,  realizing 
\\c  were  on  e.xceedingly 
dangerous  ground.  Fi- 
nally, jiushed  to  the  wall, 
we  hazarded,  "Twenty- 
two." 

"Twenty-one,"  said 
Miss  Swanson,  in  tri- 
umph. "You  just  pro- 
1'  -ted    when    I    said    I 

In't  want  to  go  on

■' Because,"  said  we, 
trying  to  take  our  edito- 
rial mind  from  Miss 
Swanson's  eyes,  "you're 
^o  vmcannily  seductive. 
Must  vampires  leave  us 
cold,  but  ..." 

"Yes,"  aided  Miss 
.S\\  anson. 

"You  are  exceedingly 

er--effective." 

.\t  that  psychological 
iiiument  we  arrived  in 
front  of  the  .\stor. 

We  sighed  with  relief 

Once     inside,     Miss     Suanson     attacked     a     healthy-sized 

luncheon   with    fervor.     .\    waiter  attempted  to   remove   the 

ctress'  orange-juice  before  she  had   finished — and   she  well 

igh  withered  him.     Right  then  and  there  we  decided  that  Miss 

■wanson  might  easily  speak  out  her  mind.     In  fact,  she  did. 

Between  orange-iuice  and  soup  and  chops.  Miss  Swanson 
■told  us  more  of  herself.  The  daughter  of  an  anny  officer,  she 
received  her  education  everywhere.  "It  was  a  terrible  handi- 
cap." she  said,  "my  education  stretching  from  Chicago  to 
Porto  Rico. 

"I  first  tried  pictures  with  Essanay  in  Chicago  and  then  I 

ent  to  the  coast.    There  I  was  with  Triangle  and  later  joined 

ack   Sennelt's   comedies.      But   I   wasn't  a  bathing  girl.      I 
ever — -never — was.     Please  get  that  into  your  interview,  wont 
lyou  ?" 

We  promised.

"I  live  for  today,"  says 
Gloria  Swanson,  "anti  I  try 
to  get  every  bit  out  of  It. 
I  dont  believe  in  waitini,  for 
tomorrow.  Life  is  too  short 
for  that."  That  sums  up 
her  philosophy  of  life  in 
general 


"We  did  a  series  of  juve- 
nile comedies  in  which  I  had 
a  leading  r(ole.  Then  Mr.  De 
Mille  gave  nie  my  chance  in 
drama.  That's  all.  As  I 
never  cared  for  comedy  and 
my  whole  heart  is  in  dramatic 
work,  you  can  guess  how 
hard  I  worked  to  make  good 
with  Mr.  De  Mille." 

We  asked  Miss  Swanson  to  tell  us  her  philosophy  of  things 
in  general. 

"I  live  for  today,"  she  said,  ''and  I  try  to  get  every  bit  out 
of  it.  I  dont  believe  in  waiting  for  tomorrow.  Life  is  too 
short  for  that."

Imagine  the  "male 
vampire"  of  the  screen 
being  a  New  Eng- 
landerl  A 1 1  h  o  of 
French  descent,  (his 
real  name  is  Cote), 
Cody's  home  town  is 
Waterville,  Me.,  a  few 
miles  from  the  home  of 
Dustin  and  William 
Farnum.  He  soon  for- 
sook Maine  for  the 
stage 


YOL'  may,  perhaps,  think  it  strange  that  the 
original  "He  Vamp"  star  of  the  screen 
should  have  come  from  New  England. 
And  then,  again,  you  may  not.  It  all  depends 
on  whether  you  have  come  from  there  your- 
self, or  on  whether  you  still  live  there,  or  on 
whether  you  have  never  been  there  at  all.  Un- 
doubtedly, there  are  people  who  are  "un-pro- 
foundly"  affected  by  their  environments :  for 
instance.  Lew  Cody. 

"Dustin    Farnum   used   to   live   within   a    few 

miles  of  Waterville.   Me.,  which  is  my  home," 

he    remarked.       (We    were,    by    the    way,    at 

iimcheon  at  the  Alexandria  and  some  moving  picture  notable  could  be  seen 

at  almost  every  table).     "We  often  get  together,"  he  went  on,  "and  talk 

over  the  scenes  and  people  we  used  to  know. 
Of  course,  we  didn't  live  there  at  the  same 
time  and  we  didn't  really  know  the  same  peo- 
ple, but  that  is  a  mere  detail.  In  that  neigh- 
borhood, the  scenes  and  the  people  seem, 
somehow,  always  the  same ;  the  same  yester- 
day, today  and  forever!" 

There,  then,  you  have  the  material  for  a  tragedy  by  Ibsen.    Think 
of  it!     Lew  Cody,  whose  real  name  is  Cote,  a  boy  of   French  de- 
scent, living  in  a  place  where,  if  one  can  believe  some  of  our  best 
fiction,  people  take  their  sins  and  their  virtues  very  seriously  and 
where  marriages  are  made   in   Heaven   for  life  and   for  popu- 
lation! 

He  could  read  French,  too ;  gracefully  written  tales  of  grace- 
ful love  affairs,  sincere  while  they  lasted,  lightly  undertaken  and 
gracefully  dropped.  Why,  he  might  have  committed  suicide — 
or  matrimony — before  he  was  eighteen,  with  vine  leaves  in  his  hair 
,ind  all  that  sort  of  thing.  But  instead  of  that,  he  did  something 
that  could  never  have  occurred  to  a  character  of  Ibsen  ;  lightly  and 
without  any  particular  brain  storm,  he  decided  to  go  away. 

"One  afternoon,  after  a  whole  day  spent  reciting  poetry  at  my- 
.self,  I  went  to  my  father  and  told  him  that  I  was  going  to  go  on 
the  stage.  '.'\ll  right!'  my  father  .said.  "When  are  you  going?'  Of 
course,  that  was  all  wrong.  He  should  have  objected  violently.  But 
he  must  have  had  too  keen  a  sense  of  drama,  himself,  to  do  such 
a  commonplace  thing.  Instead,  he  staked  me  to  a  wardrobe  and 
I  went  to  New  York  and  got  my  start  almost  at  once." 

This  was  with  Mary  Mannering  in  "The  Stubborness  of 
Oeraldine."  Then  came  melodrama  with  .\.  H.  Woods:  such  plays 
as   "Fast    1  ifc   in    New    York"   and    "The    Power   of    Money,"    an

experience  which,  he  says, 
he    would    not    take    any- 
thing for.    And  then,  with 
all     of     his     energy,     he 
plunged  into  stock,  becom- 
ing   actor-manager    of    his 
own    company,    the    Cody 
Players,    just    out    of    New

panies before  that  began  to 
tire   him    and    then   he    left 
them  to  shift  for  themselves 
while  he  came  to  the  Pacific 
coast     with    the 
Winter    Garden 
production. 

"I've  been  every- 
thing  in    the   pro- 
fession   except    a 
clown    in    a    circus." 
and   but    for   its   being 
such   a   serious   job,   he 
might    have    been    that 
too. 

He   fell  instantly  and 
intensely   in   love   with 
Los   ,-\ngeles  and  de-

fact. 
Undoubtedly,    Lew    Cody's    best    work    was    done,    not 
ader  contract,  but  as  a  free  lance,  in  such  pictures  ms  the 
ois    Weber    productions    "For    Husbands    Only,"    and 
i?orrowed    Clothes"    with    Mrs.    Chaplin.    Cecil    B.    de

Line,"    and     "The     I'roken     P.utterfly"     with     Maurice 
fournier. 

When    1    saw    him    at    the    .Alexandria,    he    had    just 
j^nished  his  first  picture  made  with  his  own  company  and 
had  collaborated  with  his  director.  L.  Gasnier.  in  the 
priting  of  the  story.     His  second  picture,  he  said,  is  to 
"The  I'Utterfly  Man"  from  the  book  by  George  Barr 
McCutcheon. 

Lew  Cody  is,  himself,  very  much  of  a  "butterfly  man." 
That  is.  he  has  the  quick,  volatile  temperament  of  the  ar- 
tistic b'renchman  who  is  also  a  natural  dilettante. 

"Until  a  year  ago."  he  .said,  "I  never  had  any  particular

Betty  Blythe: 

The  Peacock 

Princess 


"f    WAS  born   in   Los  Angeles,"  began    Betty 
i    Blytbe,   as   she   whisked   a   heap   of   pink 
chiffons  from  one  chair  and  a  pile  of  let- 
ters  from  another,  drawing  them  nearer  the 
window   where   we  could   watch   the  glorions 
view  of  the  mountains  which  so  entrances  her. 
"After  being  away  for  nearly  four  years, 
it  is  such  fun  to  be  back.     Mere  in  Hollywood 
there  are  no  elevated  trains,  no  subways,  no 
crashing  traffic,  just  peace  and  quiet,  why,  it's 
heavenly.      I    was   so   thrilled   the   tirst   night 
after  my  arrival  to  hear  a  cat  fight  on  the  harl< 
fence,  it  sounded  so  rural. 

"These  silver  nights  are  wonderful,  too.' 
she  continued.  'I  wander  all  over  the  hills.  I 
walked  thru  the  big  gates  into  the  lovely 
grounds  of  the  Japanese  place  on  that  liill  last 
night  and  suddenly,  while  enjoying  the  wonder  I 
of  the  scene,  I  heard  the  strangest  noises.  1 
stopped  to  listen  and  the  next  minute  1  saw 
there  were  monkeys  swinging  from  tree  to 
tree  in  the  moonlight.  1  didn't  run  linnic, 
flew!" 

lietty  Blythe  is  another  of  ihe  bright  lights i 
that  the  Goldwyn  studios  have  added  to  their' 
splendid  stock  company.     She  has  just  com- 
pleted "The  Silver  Horde,"  a  Rex  I'each  story, 
and  will  next  appear  in  a  Brentwood  produc- 
tion under  the  direction  of  Henrx  Kolker. 

"1  have  played  so  manv  vamps,"  said  Betty,  j 
"that  I  am  glad  of  the  opportunity  to  plav  this 
role  of  a  splendid  woman  who  finds  her  happi- 
ness in  the  development  of  her  own  soul,  not  j 
in  wealth  or  power.     And  clothexl    Oh,  I  ami 
to  wear  some  gorgeous  things," 

Going  to  her  closet.   Miss  Blythe  brought  \ 
out  an  array  of  ravishing  costumes  and  spread- 
ing them  on  the  bed  we  indulged  in  a  feminine 
orgie  of  tulles,  chiffons,  lustrous  satins  and  rich 
furs. 

"Of  course,  like  most  women,"  said  Betty,  \ 
"I  have  always  longed  for  beautiful  clothes  and 
now  that  I  can  have  them  I  love  the  planning 
and  designing.  I  sometimes  wonder  if  my  old 
vision  of  realizing  the  poetic  sense  of  literary  i 
effort  is  merging  into  a  passion  for  clothes. 
However,  in  motion  pictures  they  play  such  an 
important  part  that  I  feel  justified." 

"How  did  you  discover  your  own  particu- 
lar style?"  I  asked,  remembering  the  distinc- 
tive manner  in  which  thi,s  stunning  girl  is  al- 
ways gowned. 

"My  dear,"  she  replied  solemnly,  "it  took 
three  years  and  an  awful  waste  of  money  to 
teach  me  that  I  must  civilize  my  weird  ideas — 
I  do  so  love  queerish  styles — if  they  are  be- 
coming. 

"I  adore  brilliant 
colors,  they  brighten 
one's  mood,  while 
laces  .seem  fl/we.  Look 
at  this  shimmery  sym- 
phony which  also  per- 
sists in  shimmying,"

frock  of  cloth  of  gold 
with  its  bands  of 
heavy  silk  fringe 
forming  the  "shim- 
mying" skirt. 

Winding  herself  in- 
to a  luscious  Moorish 
yellow  crepe  negli- 
gee and  sweeping 
across  the  room,  she 
remarked,  "I  glory  in 
trains  and  tassels,  too. 
The  last  time  I  wore 
this  I  killed  a  man — 
it  photographed  beau- 
tifully!  I'm  going  to 
have  it  made  over. 
I'm  always  saving 
things,  if  I  should 
die  suddenly  I  would 
miss  a  lot  of  fun  for 
I  have  such  stacks  of 
lovely  materials  wait- 
ing to  be  made  over." 

Then,  sitting  on  the 
edge  of  the  bed  sur- 
rounded by  these  lux- 
urious clothes,  .she 
told  me  some  of  her 
early  experiences. 

Betty  Blythe  made 
her  first  appearance 
on  the  stage  billed  as 
"The  Peacock  Prin- 
cess." In  a  sumptu- 
ous gown,  made  en- 
tirely of  peacock 
feathers,  she  put  on 
her  own  little  musi- 
cal act  at  Pantages 
Theater,  in  Los  An- 
geles and  scored  a 
success. 

"It  was  a  beautiful 
gown,"  said  Betty, 
"and  I  felt  so  grand 
and  struttv  and  excit- 
ed with  all  those  bril-  Photograph  by  .Mfred  Cheney  Johns,, -„ 

liant  colors  flashing  about  me.  Everything  was  going  beauti- 
fully and  1  had  dreams  of  being  a  real  prima  donna;  you 
know,  I  spent  two  years  in  Paris  and  London  studying  voice 
culture.  Then  suddenly,  my  mother  and  a  sister  passed  away 
and  I  was  gripped  by  the  old  Chinese  superstition  of  peacock 
feathers,  and  I  wouldn't  go  on  with  the  act." 

After  a  season  with  Oliver  Morosco's  "So  Long  Letty,"  in 
Chicago,  and  a  summer  in  stock  in  Albany  Miss  Blythe  had  a 
chance  to  play  on  Broadway  with  William  Elliott  in 
"Experience."  ' 

"With  the  closing  of  this  engagement,"  she  went  on,  "I 
had  a  taste  of  the  fighting  struggle  which  girls  usually  have 
when  they  buck  up  against  New  York.  Out  of  a  job,  the  city 
frightened  me.  I  believe  the  fear  of  going  broke  frightened  me 
most. 

"Every  day  for  months  I  made  the  rounds  of  the  theatrical 
agencies.  It  was  heart-breaking.  Only  once  did  a  ray  of  light 
penetrate.     A  Shakespearian  actor  took  an  interest  in  me  and

promised  I  should  play  Ophelia  in  his 
company.  Now,  all  my  Hfe  I  had 
wanted  to  play  Shakespeare.  When  I 
was  only  12  my  sister  started  me  read- 
ing his  works  in  the  original  and  by  the 
time  I  was  16  I  had  read  everything  he 
had  written  and  had  made  up  my  mind 
to  be  a  tragedy  queen,  a  second  Mar- 
lowe, so  this  seemed  the  coming  true  of  my  early  dreams. 

■'After  spending  weeks  rehearsing  Ophelia,  and  building  my 
hopes  to  the  very  sky,  the  venture  fell  thru,  and  I  went,  left 
with  debts  and  all  my  illusions  shattered.  Really,  I  contem- 
plated suicide,  but  after  all,  youth  and  its  reviving  confidence 
urged  me  on  to  win  in  spite  of  obstacles. 

"One  day  a  girl,  whom  I  knew  very  slightly,  asked  me  to 
go  to  the  Vitagraph  studio  with  her.     I  believe  God  sent  her, 
and  I  went,  really  because  she  was  friendly  and  I  so  needed

A  SCRAP  of  paper  it  was  which  decided  the 
destiny  of  Tom  Moore,  son  of  Sarah 
and  Joseph  and,  incidentally,  brother  of 
Owen  and  Matt.  It  happened  like  this.  Tom 
was  born  in  Ireland  on  a  farm  in  County 
Meade.  Artistic  vagueness  rather  than  bold 
accuracy  places  the  date  of  the  event  as  the  late 
'80's.  Now,  in  those  days  a  small  Irish  farmer 
had  about  as  much  chance  to  make  money  as  a 
conductor  on  a  pay-as-you-enter  car,  so  the  senior 
Moore  and  his  better  half  decided  to  seek  the  city  and 
open  a  shop  of  some  sort.  So  they  sold  all  the  things  on 
the  farm,  collected  the  family  and  put  them  in  a  jaunting 
car,  and  then  Mrs.  Moore  turned  to  Mr.  Moore  and  said, 
"Whither  thou  goest,  I  will  go,  and  where  thou  lodgest 
I  will  lodge,  but  whither  do  we  go  and  where  do  we 
lodge  ?" 

"I  never  thought  of  that,"  said  Moore  the  elder.  "Now 
what  do  you  say  ?" 

"Dublin,"  said  Mrs.  Moore. 

"America !"  cried  little  Tom. 

"We'll  draw  lots  for  it,"  said  Moore,  the  elder.  So 
pieces  of  paper,  marked  "Dublin"  and  ".America,"  were 
put  into  a  hat.  Little  Tom  put  in  his  hand  and  drew  out 
"America,"  and  America  it  was. 

Now,  we  set  down  these  facts  triumphantly,  and  so 
would  you  if  you  had  worked  as  hard  to  unearth  them 
as  we  did. 

Once  upon  a  time  there  was  celebrated  in  song  a  girl 
named  Annie  Moore.  History  says  little  about  her,  save 
that  she  was  sweet  and  that  we'll  never  see  her  any  more. 


Moore  o' Count 
Meade 


To  this  branch  of  the  family  we  are  quite 
sure  Tom  belonged.  If  you  ever  do  see  him 
and  have  any  idea  that  you  ever  will  wish  t(S 
interview  him,  "do  it  now,"  for  you  never 
will  see  him  any  more. 

Both  Tom  and  Owen  are  coy  and  elusive 
as  the  first  snowdrop,  and  all  the  time  we  do 
not  blame  them  in  the  least  for  not  wanting 
to  be  interviewed.  We  are  quite  sure  that 
we  should  never  want  to  be  interviewed 
by  us. 

About  a  year  ago  we  were  asked  to  inter-' 
view  Owen  Moore.  He  consented,  but  he 
still  owes  it  to  us.  And  then  our  editor  gave 
us  a  standing  order  to  interview  Tom  Moore. 
So  long  as  he  was  safe  and  sound  out  on  the 
Pacific  Coast  in  the  Goldwyn  studio,  we  did 
not  worry.  We  decided  that  we  could  not  be 
expected  to  go  as  far  as  that,  but  then  one 
day  we  heard  that  he  was  here  in  the  East 
"on  a  vacation." 

The  words  had  a  portentous  sound.     It 
seemed  such  a  perfectly  legitimate  excuse  for 
not  being  interviewed.     However,  we  tried 
out  our  luck  by  calling  up  the  Gold- 
wyn  office   and   asking    for   Tom  . 
Moore's     address.       "He     just 
went  out  of  the  office  on  his 
way    to    the    Lambs',    but  i 
we  are  not  allowed  to  give  i 
any  one  his  address.    He  | 
is  on  a  vacation."  i 

So   we   called   up   the  i 


When  the  Moore  family 
decided  to  migrate 
from  its  tiny  farm 
in  the  County  Meade, 
Ireland,  the  problem 
of  destination  arose. 
So  they  drew  lots. 
Little  Tom  put  in  his 
hand  and  drew  out  a 
bit  of  paper  marked

Lambs,  and  tliey  said,  ''He  has  gone  over  to 
the  studio."  There  didn't  seem  to  be  any  way 
to  get  him  excepting  to  call  Central  and  ask 
for  Fifth  Avenue  between  the  Lambs  and  the 
Goldwyn  office,  and  this  wasn't  feasible  owing 
to  the  present  strained  relation  between  the 
"hello"  girls  and  the  innocent  bystander,  so  we 
decided  to  let  nature  take  its  course. 

The  best  way  to  do  this  is  to  walk  up  Fifth 
Avenue  from  Forty-second  Street  and  wish. 
We  hadn't  been  doing  this  more  than  two 
blocks  when  we  met  Tom  Moore  face  to  face. 
Now,  altho  we  are  a  firm  believer  in  this  con- 
centration thing,  when  we  met  our  victim  we 
were  so  surprised  that  we  said,  right  out  loud, 
"Aint  nature  wonderful !" 

"She  is,"  agreed  Tom  Moore,  "but  why?" 

Of  course,  we  didn't  dare  tell  him,  because  he 
would  look  upon  us  with  cold  disfavor  and  say, 
"I'm  on  my  vacation."    So  instead  we  said,  "Why, 
meeting  you  and  everything  like  this,    .^nd  do  you 
remember  the  time  we  interviewed  you,  over  in 
Fort  Lee,  when  you  first  became  a  (ioldwyn  star,  and 
the  funny  little  place  where  we  had  luncheon  and  the 
woman    who    put    the    records    on    the   graphophone, 
records  that   were   round,   tube-like   things,  and    the 
phonograph  had  a  horn  ?" 

"Yes,  a  horn  like  a  director  uses,"  and  Tom  laughed 
just  the  way  he  does  on  the  screen.  He  always  laughs 
that  way.  It  is  one  of  his  charms.  You  see  him 
laughing,  but  you  dont  hear  him. 

Now,  all  this  was  according  to  Freud,  or  somebody 
who  has  theories.  We  had  reminded  Tom  Moore  of 
the  fact  that  he  had  once  been  interviewed  and  had 
recalled  to  his  mind  at  the  same  time  all  of  the  pleasant 
features  of  the  encounter,  so  we  struck  while  the  iron 
was  hot. 

."Have  you  got  a  half-hour  to  spare?"  we  said,  timidly, 
meaning  to  finish  up  with  "Mayn't  we  walk  over  to  the  office 
with  you  and  interview  you  en  route?" 

"Indeed,  I  have,"  he  answered,  cheerfully.  "Let's  go  in  here 
and  have  a  cup  of  tea." 

And  as  we  were  on  the  corner  of  Forty- fourth  .Street,  and 
Sherry's  is  no  more,  we  knew  that  "here"  meant  Delmonico's. 
How  thankful  we  were  that  we  had  on  our  imported  hat  with 
the  red  polka  dots  on  it.  tho  maybe  if  we  hadn't  we  shouldn't 
have  received  the  invitation. 

"See,  no  belts!"  said  Tom,  with  his  silent  laugh,  as  he  took 
off  his  overcoat.  "Do  you  remember  how  you  got  after  us 
for  wearing  belted  coats  and  said  that  Charlie  Ray  was  the  only 
man  who  could  wear  one  with  impunity?  I  remember,  altho  I 
felt  hurt,  how  I  trembled  when  I  realized  that  I  was  wearing  a 
belt  on  my  coat  that  day  you  came  over  to  Fort  Lee  to  see  me." 

"Aren't  you  glad  you're  on  your  vacation?"  we  asked,  a  little 
less  cautious  now  that  the  orange  pekoe  was  between  us  and 
our  victim  and  there  was  no  chance  for  him  to  escape. 

"Yes.  I  suppose  I  needed  a  rest,  only  New  York  is  such  a 
funny  place  to  rest  in.     You  dont  do  it." 

"Have  you  been  working  hard?"  we  asked,  trying  to  put  a 
lot  of  sympathy  in  our  voice,  so  as  not  to  make  it  sound  like  a 
leading  question." 

"Working  hard?  Rather!  I've  made  nine  pictures  this  year 
with  Harry  Beaumont.  In  a  couple  of  weeks,  when  I  go  back, 
I  am  going  to  have  a  new  director,  Tom  Mills.     Know  him?" 

We  shook  our  head,  and  there  the  conversation  switched  to 
California — California  climate.  California  roads,  California 
hospitality.  Why,  one  would  think  Tom  Moore  was  a  native. 
They  always  talk  like  that. 

"Were  you   born   in   California?"   which   was  an  innocent 


After  the  Moores  came 
to  America,  little  Tom 
ran  away  to  New  York 
and  lived  there  a  whole 
year.  Then  he  went 
home — and  to  school. 
His  stage  "debut"  was 
in  l*^e  mob  scene  of 
"Parsifal" 


enough  question  that  any  one  might 
have  asked.  It  had  marvelous  re- 
.sults,  too,  far  beyond  our  fondest 
hopes,  for  Tom  Moore  told  us  all  about  being  born  in  Ireland 
and  just  how  he  drew  the  scrap  of  paper  out  of  the  hat  and 
came  to  America.  But  when  Tom  got  as  far  as  New  York  he 
stopped,  at  least  he  stopped  in  his  narrative,  but  as  a  matter  of 
fact,  he  went  on  to  Toledo,  because  he  had  some  cousins  living 
there. 

"Had  you  thought  of  going  on  the  stage  at  that  time  '"  we 
asked,  trying  to  give  the  question  the  proper  amount  of  insou- 
ciance as  coming  from  a  layman  and  not  from  an  interviewer. 
"No,  indeed,"  he  answered,  laughing.  "You  should  have 
seen  me  then.  I  was  such  a  funny-looking  little  shaver.  They 
sent  me  to  school,  but  the  wanderlust  was  in  my  veins,  and  I  ran 
away  with  just  enough  money  to  get  me  to  Jer.sey  City.  I  didn't 
have  a  nickel  to  get  over  to  Manhattan,  but — well.  I  eventually 
got  there.  My  lack  of  money  worried  me  not  in  the  least,  and 
I  hung  around  and  enjoyed  myself  between  the  Battery  and 
Fourteenth  Street  for  nearly  a  year.  Then  I  had  some  prompt- 
ings from  my  conscience  and  I  returned  home.  They  sent  me 
back  to  school,  but  I  ran  away  again — " 

"And  went  to  dramatic  school,"  we  interrupted.    Tom  Moore 
gave  us  a  scornful  glance  and,  if  he  had  been  that  sort  of  per- 
son, he  would  probably  have  said,  "How  do  you  get  that  way  '  "

The  Boy  Who 


You  remember 
Wes'  Barry  as  the 
remarkable  freckled 
youngster  of  "Daddy 
Long  Legs"  and 
"The  Unpardonable 
Sin."  The  lad  is 
now  fast  en  route 
to  stardom  with 
Micky  Neilan,  play- 
ing the  boy  hero  of 
Booth  Tarkington's 
"Penrod"    «tories 


By  MARY  S. 

WHY,  they're  real!"  1  exclaimed. 
"The  freckles?  Sure,  they're  real,"  and  Wesley  Barry 
rubbed  his  brown  hands  vigorously  across  his  cheeks  to 
convince  ine  the  speckles  would  not  come  off. 

"Lots  of  people  seem  to  think  they  are  part  of  my  make-up 
for  the  pictures,"  he  went  on.  "If  they  could  see  my  red  hair 
they  would  know  the  freckles  belonged  to  me.  I  used  to  hate 
them,  but  they've  brought  me  a  lot  of  luck  and  I  dont  know 
what  would  happen  if  they  went  away  now."  And  the  funny 
"ittle  smile  that  has  endeared  this  twelve-year-old  lad  to  film 
fans  thruout  the  country  spread  over  his  small  face. 

"Then,  you'll  never  be  tempted  by  the  promises  of  freckle 
cream?"  1  asked. 

"I  should  say  not,"  came  the  emphatic  reply  in  true  mascu- 
ine  scorn  for  such  methods.     "Anyway,"  he  added,  "it  would 
take  bushels  and  bushels  to  take  them  ofif.     But — looky — my 
warts  are  going  away,"  and  he  held  out  his  hands  for  my  in- 
spection. 

"A  lady  in  Boston  read  that  I  had  warts 
and  she  sent  me  a  pin,  telling  me  to  bury  it  in 
the  garden  and  the  warts  would  disappear. 
.And,  sure  'nufi,  they're  all  gone  except  this 
teeny  one  and  it's  going."  And  again  the 
"Wes"  Barry  smile  lighted  up  the  sensitive 
face. 

Tho  Marshall  Neilan  discovered  this  lad 
several  years  ago  and  has 
given  him  bits  in  a  number 
of  pictures,  it  was  not  until 
"The  Unpardonable  Sin" 
flashed  on  the  screen  that 
his  unusual  qualities  were 
fully  recognized. 

This    was     shortly    fol- 
owed  by  his  splendid  work 
with     Mary     Pickford     in 
"Daddy  Long  Legs,"  and 
his    clever^  acting    thruout    the    or- 
phanage scenes — especially  in  imbibing 
the  hard  cider — will  not  soon  be  for- 
gotten. 

Now,  fame  and  stardom  have  cap- 
tured this  little  freckle-faced  boy,  for 
he  has  recently  been  signed  up  by  Mar- 
shall Neilan  to  create  the  screen  role 
of  "Penrod,"  in  a  series  of  pictures  de- 
picting this  adorable  character  in  his 
boyhood  adventures. 
Wesley  is  refreshingly  natural  and  absolutely  un- 
spoiled and  he  is  taking  his  good  fortune  very  mod- 
e.stly.     The  best  description  one  can  give  is  that  he 
is  every  minute — just  real  boy! 

Since  he  is  under  contract  and  working  steadily 
he  has  a  private  teacher,  studying  between  scenes 
at  the  studio,  instead  of  attending  school.  He  is  in 
the  8th  grade  and  will  be  ready  for  high  school 
next  year. 

He  told  me  all  about  his  studies  as  we  sat  in  an 
old  swing  in  the  Neilan  studio  garden  iii  Holly- 
wood. "I  like  arithmetic  and  geography,  but  English 
is  so  hard  it  makes  me  mad.  I  like  mechanical 
drawing,  too,  but  I  am  not  good  at  free  hand.  I've 
always  wanted  to  be  an  electrical  engineer,  but,  since 
I'm  doing  so  well  in  pictures,  guess  I'll  stick  to  them. 
"We  had  the  best  fun  making  'Daddy  Long 
Legs',"  went  on  Wesley.  "It  was  mostly  on  location 
and  was  just  like  a  picnic,  for  we  went  out  in  trucks 
and  had  our  lunch  out  of  doors.  Those  were  real 
chicken  sandwiches  we  ate  in  that  orphanage  scene. 
They  were  a  part  of  Miss  Pickford's  own  lunch  and

^lie  s.iid,  'C'liildren,  I  never  can  eat  all  these  sandwiches,  so  we'll 
use  them  in  this  scene.'  Gee,  they  were  good.  -She  used  to  give 
ine  some  of  her  hot  cliocolate  every  afternoon,  too,  for  we  would 
-ct  sn  liiiiii/ry.' 

"Do  you  remcmljer  the  circus  in  'Rebecca  of  Sunnybrook  Farm?' 
I  was  tlic  ring  master.  I'll  never  forget,  there  was  one  kid  who  was  so 
scared  when  he  had  to  slide  down  the  chute  that  we  laughed  at  him.  The 
most  fun  was  at  the  barn  dance,  for  there  was  real  ice  cream  and  cake 
and  we  boys  would  slip  around  to  that  corner  every  chance.  Good?  Well, 
rather:  1  cant  say  as  much  for  the  lemonade,  it  was  positively  on  the 
bunk,  one  trip  was  enough  for  that. 

"I  was  the  only  funny  one  in  'The  Unpardonable  Sin'  and  whenever  it 
iLjnt  too  serious  I  would  come  in  with  some  foolishness  and  jolly  everyone 
np.     1  did  have  a  big  crying  scene,  tho,"  he  recalled. 

"Was  it  hard  to  cry?"  I  asked. 

"(  )h,  no.  Mr.  Xeilan  told  me  all  about  it  and  it  was  so  sad  that  I 
couldn't  help  crying,    that's  all." 

.\\\<\  just  that  easily  did  this  little  actor  dispose  of  one  of  the  most  affect- 
ing moments  in  that  tragic  picture. 

"I  like  to  go  and  see  comedies — I  laugh  and  laugh,"  and  Wesley  snick- 
ered in  true  boy  fashion,  "but  I  dont  like  to  play  in  them,  for  it  is  a 
running  and  rough  stuff.     Mr,  Neilan  jokes  with  me  wdiile  we  are  working 
and  makes  me  laugh  all  the  time.    Do  you  know,"  and  the  small  figure  sat 
up  straight,  "I  can  tell  just  exactly  how  he  is  feeling  by  his  whistle.     He 
whistles  such  jolly  tunes  when  he's  hajipy, but  when  he  is  thinking  out  some 
scene  he  whistles — oh,  you  know,  that  way 
up,  heavy  music.     You  ought  to  hear  him 
play  the  piano,  he  can  make  me  cry  when 
he  plays  those  sad  pieces.     He  can  play  any 
thing'."    It   is   quite   certain   that   here   is   a 
director   who  is  the  idol  of  his  own  star. 

"Which  baseball  team  do  you  want  to  win 
the  pennant?"  Wesley  asked,  suddenly,  after 
talking  of  manv  things. 

"\'ernon,"   I   replied  promptly. 

"Good,  shake!"  and  he  grabbed  my  hand 
in  his  firm  hold,  and  we  fell  into  a  discussion 
of  the  relative  strength  of  the  Los  Angeles 
and  \'ernon  teams  which  are  battling  for  the 
Coast  League  pennant. 

"You  see,"  said  this  little  enthusiast,  "this 
is  the  first  season  that  Fatty  Arbuckle  has 
owned  the  \'ernon  team  and  I  am  afraid  he 
might  be  discouraged  if  he  lost  the  pennant 
when  he  is  so  near  it.  that's  why  I  want  it  to 
win.  Oh,  it's  just  potta  to  win,"  he  added, 
loyally. 

"We're  getting  ready  for  a  big  western 
picture,"  said  Wesley,  "and  every  morning  I 
go  out  to  the  Lasky  ranch  and  practice 
rough  riding  stunts  on  a  big  black  horse.  At 
first  he  was  awfully  frisky  and  tried  to  buck 
me  ot¥,  but  I  hung  on.  I  have  the  swellest 
cowboy  suit.    It  cost  $200!     Want  me  to  put  it  on  so  you  (an  see  it?" 

So,  hand  in  hand,  we  raced  over  to  his  dressing  room  where  we  solved 
the  problem  of  straps  and  buckles  as  he  arrayed  himself  in  a  regular 
"Bill"  Hart  western  costume.  "Look  at  this  belt,  isn't  it  a  peach?" 
he  cried,  holding  up  a  broad  leather  belt.  "It  is  to  wear  when  bucking 
to  keep  from  getting  all  jarred  up." 

"Let's  have  your  picture  taken  in  all  this  finery,"  I  suggested,  as  he 
turned  about  for  my  approval. 

"Oh,  I  cant,"  he  wailed,  "my  sombrero  isn't  here.  It  is  a  beauty, 
big — you  know — and  makes  me  look  fierce."  Then  noting  my  disap- 
pointment, he  added,  "If  you  think  nobody  will  notice  that  I  haven't  it 
on,  w-e'll  take  it." 

"Cowboys  dont  usually  live  among  palms,"  commented  the  camera- 
man, a  few  moments  later,  as  Wesley  took  his  place  before  a  huge  palm. 

"Oh,  well,"  replied  the  boy,  easily,  "this  isn't  the  real  thing  anyway, 
for  I  haven't  my  sombrero." 

VVesley's  mother  told  me  that  he  was  a  very  welcome  baby  and  was

"So    Stands    the    stalne    that    enchants    the 

world, 
So    bending,   veils   the    mingled    beauties 

of  exulting  Greece." 


PRRiiAPS  the  poet  would  have  written 
his  verse  to  Naomi  Childers  were  he 
here  to  have  viewed  her.    Perhaps  he 
would  have  put  into  couplets  her  moon-like 
radiance  that  is   shed  thruout  Culver  City, 
California;  her  elan,  which  is  that  of  a  New 
York  dehutante,  and  her  thoughts,  which  are 
those  of  the  futurists  in  art. 

Which  latter  sentiment  she  brought  to  light  by 
insisting  upon   having  art   for  luncheon,  in   the 
form  of  a  lavender  room  with  light-grey  furni- 
ture and  Erte  drawings  in  frames  upon  the 
walls,  and  vivid  cretonne  at  the  windows 
It's  so  much  nicer,  she  remarked,  to  dine 
in  a  place  where  you  needn't  swat  the 
proverbial  fly  and  partake  of  nourish 
ment    from    inch-thick    near-china. 

Art,  it  has  been  said,  is  an  aux- 
iliary to  happiness.  Art,  Miss 
Childers,  avowed,  is  a  necessity 
and,  when  you  glimpse  her  in  the 
flesh,  you're  certain  to  agree  with 
her.  But,  in  the  flesh  she  is  ex- 
actly the  same  as  she  is  on  the 
screen,  a  Broadway  Lady  Algy, 
with  her  soft,  semi  -  Southern 
drawl,  her  gracile  bearing,  her  ta- 
pered fingers  and  her  cameo-like 
Grecian  nose. 

It  just  happened  that,  as 
the  statue  said,  .Mlah  pro- 
\-kjeJ  this  interview.  Al- 
I.lh  always  provides: 
h«   has   come   to 


Miss  Childers'  aid  at  various  moments  when  the 
clouds  have  been  tinged  with  grey.  He  put  her 
onto  the  stage,  and  she  will  emphatically  tell  you 
that  he  will  some  day  put  her  back  there.  She 
was  about  to  say  more  aMhut  her  Allah,  but  the 
waiter  appeared.  Tea  and  cakes,  two  lumps  in 
the  tea  and  a  dash  of  lemon. 

In  anticipation  of  the  gastronomic  revel.  Miss 
Childers   glanced    about   her.     The    little    Bakst 
lunchroom   seemed   the  rendezvous  of  numerous 
photofamous.     John  Bowers,  after  bowing  him- 
self in,  sat  in  a  corner  and  commenced  to  sing 
something  about  Kentucky  and  the  angels  to  his 
own  mandolin  accompaniment.   Madge   Kennedy 
read  a  letter.     Enid  Bennett  and   her  husband. 
Fred  Niblo,  chatted  volubly  with  Geraldine  Far- 
rar,  whose  French  maid,  nearby,  was  watching 
her  with  hawk-like  intensity.  Tom  Moore  pala- 
.vered  with  Charles  Ray  and  his  wife, 
and  Mabel  Normand  was  going 
into  ecstasies  over  a  new  con- 
signment of  photographs 
received  by   Pauline 
Frederick.      Miss 
Childers  put  her 
chin   in   her 
hands  and 
looked   wist- 
fully   thru 
a  pair  of 
violet  -  grey 
eyes. 

Any  stranger 
who'd    ever 
seen  her  in  the 
Goldwyns      o  r 
the  old-time  Vi- 
tagraphs,     would 
have      recognized 
her,    a  1 1  h  o    her 
manner,    semi-cold, 
semi   -   disinterested, 
would     not      have 
spurred  him  on  to  ap- 
proaching her  without 
due  formality. 

Pictures,  the  willowy 
Naomi  will  tell  you,  have 
not  changed  greatly — at 
least  from  the  actor's 
standpoint — in  the  inter- 
val of  the  present  and 
when  she  played  with 
Vitagraph,  perhaps  some 
two  or  three  years. 

"Oh,  we  have  hot  and 
cold  running  water  in  our 
dressing  rooms  now,  and

and  a  picture  or  two,"  she  drawled.  "Otli- 
crwise,  it's  the  same.  But  the  directors 
(iiint  seem  to  swear  so  much,  and  the 
continuity  we  work  from  is  more  com- 
plete." 

I  asked  her  how  she  felt  the  first  time 
she  stepped  before  a  camera.  Was  she 
frightened;  did  she  faint? 

"No."  she  purred,  "I  wasn't  frightened, 
and  1  was  too  inexperienced  to  know  how 
to  faint  gracefully.  We  all  felt  rather  fun- 
ny, thn — Mdith  Storey  and  Rose  Tap- 
ley  and  Harry  Morey  and  the  rest  of  us 
at  \'itagraph.  They  tell  me  they  all  ex- 
perienced the  same  sensation  that  I  felt,  a 
sort  of  daze  like  when  you're  awakened 

I  in  the  morning  by  the  ringing  of  a  bell 
and  you  dont  know  whether  it's  the  tele- 

l   phone  or  the  alarm  clock." 

f  The  Childers  reminiscences,  witli  their 
colorful  narrative,  delivered  with  a  smile 
and  with,  the  eyes  half  closed — provoke 
the  risibilities  of  even  Tom  Moore,  who 
has  heard  them  told  before  by  others. 
."Vud  the  orchid-girl  speaks  feelingly  of 
Edith  Storey,  who  she  says  is  "the  clev- 
erest woman  on  the  screen,"  in  addition 
to  being  one  of  the  most  heroic  women  of 
the  countrv. 


Two  views  of  Miss 
Childers  in  Tom 
Moore  productions. 
Most  of  all  Naomi 
craves:  "Three  pic- 
tures a  year,  a

with  a  real  collec- 
tion of  genuine 
paintings,  some 
good-looking  gowns 
and  large  quantities 
of     French     novels"

"She  could  always  do 
everything  none  of  the  rest 
of  us  could  do,"  she  said. 
"She  could  ride  and  swim 
and  look  beautiful  when  she 
was  dead  tired.  .\nd  act! 
There  was  no  chance  for 
anyone  else  when  she  was 
on  the  lot." 

And  changing  the  topic  to 
contemporary   pictures,   my 
subject  impresses  one  with 
having    given    considerable 
*  thought   to  the   art.      She 

asked  me  if  I'd  ever  read  Vachel  Ij'ndscy.  I  had?  Then,  per- 
haps, I  might  in  a  measure  understand  what  she  thinks — main- 
ly, that  being  a  star  isn't  the  greatest  thing  in  the  life  of  a  cina- 
mese. 

Nor  will  pictures  ever  progress  until  one  Mr.  Griffith  gets 
a  new  idea  and  infuses  it  into  the  shadow-play. 

"Why.-"  she  asked  and  explained.    "Because  he  seems  to  be 

the  only  man  wliom  people  have  consistently  followed  and  to 

whom  people  look  for  something  hitherto  undone  to  be  done.

She  Loves  and  Lies

By  DOROTHY  DONNELL 


MAKii;  Calli;nder  was  waking  up  luxuriously.  The  process 
was  a  very  becoming  one,  involving  many  dainty  yawns, 
much  stretching  of  round,  dimpled  arms  and  rubbing  of 
velvety  brown  eyes.  For  two  weeks  she  had  enjoyed  this  por- 
tion of  the  day  with  a  passionate  delight  such  as  can  only  be 
experienced  by  those  who  have  been  accustomed  to  being 
awakened  by  the  raucous  voice  of  a  tin  alarm  clock  to  the 
smell  of  frying  boarding-house  onions  and  a  battle  of  wits 
for  the  pos.session  of  the  bathroom. 

It  was  a  wonderful  sensation  to  be  able  to  turn  over  on  one's 

pillows  in  defiance  of  the 
sunlight  pointing  an  ac- 
cusing finger  thru  the 
drawn  dimity  curtains,  to 
sleep  and  wake  again,  and 
half  sleep  and  drowse. 
and  at  last  to  sit  up  among 
one's  tossed  linen  and  silk 
covers — so,  and  reach  out 
a  pink  finger-tip — so,  to 
the  bell  that  will  .summon 
deferential  maid  and  a 


■■■Si,''; 


silver  and  fragrant  breakfast  tray.  Marie's  finger  fell 
abruptly.  She  shook  the  last  traces  of  sleep  from  her  with  a 
single  jerk  of  her  dark  curls,  drew  her  knees  up  to  her  chest 
and  encircled  them  with  her  arms. 

"Oh,  darn!"  she  sighed.  "What  a  silly  world  this  is  any- 
how !" 

Surely  an  ungrateful  remark  from  one  who  in  the  last  fort- 
night had  taken  the  step  from  poverty  to  riches  with  a  single 
bound,  but  there  was  the  crumpled  newspaper  on  the  floor, 
where  the  eyes  of  her  extremely  active  imagination  could  read 
the  words  that  provoked  the  remark.  "Young  Ship-Builder 
Threatened  with  Bankruptcy.  Ernest  Lismore  .Said  to  Be  in 
Xeed  of  Large  Sums  to  Defeat  the  Conspiracy  of  the  Stock- 
holders  '' 

"I  wonder,'  mused  Marie,  "what  'large  sums'  means?  I've 
seen  the  time  wlien  a  five-dollar  bill  looked  like  all  the  money 
in  the  world.  .\nd  he  has  such  ducky  eyes,  and  such  a  per- 
fectly sweet  chin  !  It's  simply  wicked  that  he  should  have  to 
fail  when  I've  got  a  million  or  two  that  he  could  have  just  as 
well  as  not,  and  all  because  of  the  perfectly  stupid  things 
people  would  say !" 

With  Marie  thought  and  action  were  practically  synonymous. 
She  reached  for  the  telephone,  disguised  as  a  Dresden  shep- 
herdess, on  the  stand  by  the  bedside  and  called  a  number.  After 
a  season  of  energetic  waiting — Marie  was  always  energetic — a 
protesting  voice  answered,  evidently  around  a  cigaret.  "If  it's 
the  landlord,  all  I've  got  to  say  is  that  you'll  have  to  wait — 
and  serve  you  right,  too !  The  roof  leaked  last  night  and 
turned  a  perfectly  good  clay  model  of  'The  Naked  Truth'  into 
mud — positively  mud!    It's  the  worst  attic  in  the  Village,  and, 

believe  me,  if  you  think " 

"Polly!"  —  Marie     shook     the     telephone     irritably  —  "for 
heaven's  sake  quit  it !    I'm  in  terrible  trouble,  and  you've  got 
to  help  me ! 
Trouble  ?      You !      What    trou- 
ble can  a  girl  with  a  million 
i  dollars    have?''       Polly's 

amazement  evidently  dis- 
placed   the   cigaret. 
"Lord,  child,  you

Marie  shook  the 
last  trace  of  sleep 
from  her  with  a 
single  jerk  of  her 
dark  curls,  drew  her 
knees  up  to  her 
chest  and  encircled 
them  with  her

his  frosted  tea  cake  and 
to  crumble  his  cup. 
His  handsome  young 
face  was  dully  crim- 
son 


look  it  up  in  the  dictionary." 
"It  isn't  money,"  Marie  wailed, 
"but — well,  the  fact  is — I'm  in  love ! 
What's  that  ?  So  long  as  I'm  not 
married,  that's  not  a  trouble?  But 
you  dont  understand.  I  dont  even 
know  him,  and  now  on  account  o£ 
this  darned  money,  I  never  shall !  You  see,  he  lived  next  door 
to  Mr.  Goldsmith  when  auntie  and  I  were  there  last  June,  and 
when  the  fire  happened,  he  rescued  me,  and  so — well,  of 
course,  I  fell  in  love  with  him,  but  poor  William  was  so  jealous 
he  wouldn't  introduce  me.  and  now  he's  going  to  fail  in  busi- 
ness and  I  cant  do  anything!  How  can  I  go  to  him  and  say 
'Take  my  money !  I've  fallen  in  love  with  your  eyes !'  Oh, 
he'd  despise  me ;  he'd  think  I  was  hold  and  brazen  and  un- 
feminine — what's  that  ?" 

For  a  long  time  the  other  end  of  the  wire  hummed,  and 
Marie's  expressions  ran  the  gamut  of  emotions  from  doubt, 
disapproval,  to  final  enthusiasm.  "Polly,  you  bobbed-haired 
Solomon !  Vou  Socrates  in  smocks !  I  believe  to  my  soul 
you've  hit  it !  A  girl  that  can  out-Eddie  Foy  ought  to  be  able  to 
—I  knew  there  was  some  reason  why  I  kept  my  make-up  box 
and  props !  Oh,  boy !  Wait  till  you  see !"  and  she  kist  the 
telephone  ardently.  "Good-by,  darling!  You  certainly  have 
got  brains,  even  if  you  do  live  in  Greenwich  Village!" 

Ernest  Lismore  was  a  man  without  discernment,  which  is 
really  tautological.  No  man  is  discerning,  but  he  had  even  less 
than  the  others  of  the  bifurcated  sex.  Still,  let  us  give  him  his 
due.     Marie  Callender  had  not  been  Marie  Max  of  the  two-a- 


day  for  ten  years  without  result,  and,  moreover,  the  piece  oi 
work  she  did  now  was  the  best  she  had  ever  accomplished. 
There  was  in  the  dainty,  dignified  little  old  lady  of  sixty-odd 
who  sat  serenely  pouring  tea  with  little,  delicately  withered 
hands,  not  the  the  faintest  trace  of  the  lovely  little  plotter  of 
the  morning.  From  iron-grey,  high- piled  hair  to  the  tips  of 
her  cloth-gaitered  boots,  she  was  perfect,  and  her  voice  carried 
out  the  illusion  with  its  tiny  suggestion  of  a  quaver,  its  precise 
enunciation. 

"My  dear  boy,  there  is  nothing  in  the  least  odd  in  what  I'm 
suggesting,"  she  assured  the  perturbed  and  visibly  embarrassed 
young  man  before  her;  "it's  simply  that  I'm  interested  in  you, 
as  a  grandmother  lady  is  privileged  to  be  interested  in  one  who 
might  have  been" — she  sighed  artistically — "should  have  been 
lier  own  kith  and  kin  if  there  had  not  been  a  miserable  boy- 
and-girl  misunderstanding  half  a  century  ago!" 

Ernest  made  a  ghastly  pretense  of  laughing  lightly.  To  find 
a  might-have-been  grandmother,  and  to  have  her  propose  to 
one  all  in  the  course  of  fifteen  minutes,  w  upsetting,  and  several 
nights  of  insomniac  wori-y  had  already  weakened  his  consti- 
tution. "It's  awfully  kind  of  you — awfully  good  and  all  that," 
he  choked,  "but  really.  I  dont  see " 

"You  dont  have  to  see,"  this  amazing  old  lady  smiled,  and 
he  noticed,  with  a  sinking  of  the  heart,  that  despite  the  network 
of  fine  lines  in  her  cheeks,  her  chin  was  really  terrifyingly 
determined.  "Of  course,  marriage  with  me  would  be  a  mere 
matter  of  form  in  order  to  enable  me  to  get  possession  of  my 
money.  I  have  already  explained  the  terms  of  the  will — the 
princijial  comes  into  my  possession  only  when  I  marry  'from

CLASSIC 


choice.'  Vou  take  tlie  money,  save  your  business,  and  return 
it,  and  whenever  you  wish  I  will  free  you.  Perfectly  simple, 
per-lecl-ly — a  mere  business  proposition." 

F.rnest  tried  to  drink  his  frosted  tea-cake  and  to  crumble  his 
cup.  His  handsome  young  face  was  dully  crimson,  his  young 
hands  shook,  his  young  voice  also.  "I — of  course,  it's  impos- 
sible to  take  advantage  of  your  kindness,  but  I'm  no  end  grate- 
ful!  I'll  make  out  to  weather  this  storm  somehow,  and  if  I 
dont — well" — he  stretched  out  his  big,  lean  hands — "I've  got 
these  left." 

"Nonsense!"  said  the  little  old  lady,  vigorously.  When  she 
was  aroused,  her  voice  seemed  to  lose  its  quaver  of  age.  "Be  a 
sensible  boy.  I'd  adopt  you  if  I  could  get  around  that  idiotic 
will,  but  as  I  cant,  I'm  going  to  marry  you.  Tltat's  settled. 
.\nd  now  have  another  cup  of  tea  and  let's  talk  about  politics 
or  something!" 

It  was  her  matter-of-factness  that  won  out  in  tlie  end.  She 
actually  made  the  incredible  thing  sound  plausible,  even  sen- 
sible. He  went  away  from  the  grey-shadowed  room,  with  its 
.subdued  lights  and  cosy  tea-table,  with  the  feeling  of  a  sore- 
hearted  youngster  who  has  been  comforted.  It  seemed  as  if  a 
load  had  been  taken  bodily  off  his  shoulders,  and  tho  he  called 
himself  "cad"  and  "contemptible  cur"  and  other  hard  names, 
he  found  himself  actually  whistling  as  he  strode  up  the  avenue. 
The  shipyards  would  be  saved,  tlien,  and  he  would  have  a 
wife — a  dear  little,  grey  little  grandmother- wife  who  would  pet 
liim  and  bully  him  and  iiour  out  tea  from  a  squatty  silver  pot. 

"Of  cour.se,"  Ernest  Lismore  assured  himself,  "it  isn't  true 
— any  of  it!  And  she  least  of  all!  Yet  I  couldn't  have 
dreamed  her  possibly.     And  of  course,  I'm  not  going  to  do  it:" 

But  he  knew  quite  well  that  he  was  going  to  do  it.    And  he 
did.     He  was  very  silent  on  the  ride  back  from  the  church, 
where  the  ceremony  had  been  privately  performed,  so  silent 
that  the  small  grey  person  beside  him  was  secretly  rather  dis- 
mayed.   But  once  in  her  sitting-room,  he  spoke  with  stern  lips. 
"I  am  ashamed  of  myself  for  saving  my  business  in  this  way. 
I  didn't  realize  what  I  was  doing  until  the  minister  said  those 
words.      .My    ( ^od !      Why,    I 
ought  to  be  horsewhi|)ped   for 
letting  your  divine  kindness  of 
heart    make    me    fall    so    low ! 
But  I'll   try  to  make  the  best 
amends  I  can,  and  that  means, 
first  of  all,  I'll  save  my  shipyards 
and    pay    you    back,    and    after 
that '-" 

He  did  not  finish,  but  alone 
in  her  own  room  later,  Marie 
finished    for    him.      "After- 
wards,  my   dear,"   she 
said  to   the   little   grey 
person  in  the  glass  be- 
fore   her,    "after- 
wards he  is  going 
to  throw  us  over. 
Oh,  very  nicely, 
and  very  graceful- 
ly,   and    all    that, 
but  that's  what  he 
means."     Her  lips 
took  on  naughty 


Of  the  ensuing 
hours  he  had  only 
a  vague  recollection 
...  of  one  lady  .  .  . 
who  finally  insisted 
in  sitting  upon  his 
knee 


and  most  ungrandniotherly  curves.  "He's  certain  to  fall  in 
love,"  she  mused,  "and  I  wonder — I  wonder  who's  going  to  be 
the  girl?  As  his  wife  I  surely  have  the  right  of  picking  out 
my  successor,  at  least.  Yes !  I  think  Polly  can  be  useful 
again!' 

For  .some  weeks  the  marital  life  of  Ernest  Lismore  ran 
smoothly,  being  confined  chiefly  to  breakfasting  across  the 
table  from  a  dainty  little  lavender  figine,  all  rufifles  and  rib- 
bons and  old-fashioned  gilt-gold  brooches,  who  saw  to  it  that 
his  toast  was  soft  and  his  egg  hard  and  his  coffee  exactly  the 
right  shade.  Behind  the  disfiguring  spectacles  his  wife's  sur- 
prisingly young  eyes  rested  on  the  handsome  head  behind  the 
morning  newspaper  with  anything  but  a  maternal  expression, 
had  he  either  seen  it  or  been  able  to  interpret  it,  but  his  atti- 
tude toward  her  was  one  of  distant  respect.  He  was  some- 
times garrulous,  sometimes  pettish,  sometimes  sidky,  some- 
times gay,  but  he  was  never  affectionate. 

"It's  high  time,"  decided  Marie's  alert  brain,  under  the  grey- 
waved  wig,  "that  he  had  a  love  affair." 

The  next  morning  she  looked  across  the  table  casually. 
"Oh,  Ernie-Boy,"  she  said,  briskly,  "I  see  in  die  paper  that 
there  is  to  be  an  exhibition  of  modernist  paintings  in  the 
Dawn  galleries  this  afternoon.  Now,  heaven  knows  where 
that  is,  but  you  could  find  out,  couldn't  you,  and  go  down  and 
glance  over  the  pictures  for  me  ?  I'm  looking  for  a  wedding- 
present  for  a  young  couple  I  know." 

The  Dawn  galleries  appeared  to  be  two  rooms,  so  dark  that 
they  had  to  be  lighted   by  gas-jets 
and    painted    a    startling    shade    of 
orange-yellow.   Paper  lanterns  added 
a    festive 
touch,     and 
wooden   kitch- 
en  chairs  of 
purple,   picked 
out   with   pink 
cabbage-roses.

lined  the  walls.  Several  people  with  prominent  souls  and  re- 
ceding chins  were  moving  about  the  rooms,  saying  vagfue,  wise 
things  about  the  exhibit.  Ernest,  after  a  single  hasty  glance 
about  the  walls,  began  to  sneak  toward  the  doors.  He  did  not 
care  for  the  exploded-egg  school  of  painting ;  he  was  not  at- 
tracted to  young  women  who  wore  their  hair  short  and  their 
finger-nails  long.  But  before  he  could  escape,  a  hand  fell  upon 
his  arm,  pinioning  him. 

"Oh,  Mis-ter  Lismore !"  gurgled  a  feminine  voice.  "Who- 
ever would  think  we  should  have  the  pleasure  of  seeing  you 
down  here!  Dont  tell  me  you  have  gone  in  for  art?  Is  it 
interior  decorating?  Or  the  one-act  play?  And  do  let  me  in- 
troduce you  to  Miss  Daye — June  dear,  this  is  Mis-ter  Lis- 
more!" 

A  glance  at  the  speaker,  who  had  fan  teeth,  wore  a  dirty 
smock  of  a  sickly  green  and  carried  a  cigaret,  opened  Ernest's 
lips  for  a  denial  of  acquaintanceship.  Wherever  she  had 
picked  up  his  name  he  had  never,  to  his  knowledge,  met  this 
creature  before.  But  with  the  words  upon  his  lips,  he  paused. 
Beside  the  weird  lady  of  the  pale  green  draperies  stood  an- 
other, as  different  as  the  dawn  is  different  from  gas-light,  as 
the  art  of  Pericles  differs  from  the  nrt  of  Greenwich  Village. 

June  Daye  was  slim  and  small ;  she  w-as  dark,  with  golden 
gleams  about  her ;  she  was  lovely.  This  much  he  saw  with 
the  first  glance,  and  seeing.  Wisdom  nudged  him  with  horny 
forefinger,   prompting   him   to   flee,    while    Desire    whispered 

seductively  to  him  to  stay. 
He  stayed. 

Before  Wisdom  was 
finally  able  to  drag  him 
away,  he  had  spent  four 
hours  in  the  dim,  aesthetic 
light  of  the  Dawn  gal- 
leries, discussing  modern- 
ist art  with  the  passionate 
zeal  of  a  devotee,  admir- 
ing the  picture  of  the  nude 
negress   seated   upon   the 


top  of  a  cone-shaped  mountain,  clutching  a  basket  of  carrots 
and  pineapples  and  signifying  the  vvhichness  of  the  whither,  or 
some  such  thing,  as  Polly  suggested.  He  was  reeling  with 
drunken  sunsets,  shrapnel  moonrises  and  geometrical  pictures 
that  resembled  the  view  thru  a  kaleidoscope  when  he  finally 
turned  his  steps  homeward,  but  it  was  not  of  the  pictures  he 
was  thinking,  but  rather  of  a  vivid  little  face,  glowing  under 
great  masses  of  warm,  dark,  fragrant  hair.  Not  until  his  feet 
halted  on  the  very  threshold  of  his  home  did  remembrance 
flood  icily  over  him — his  wife!  He  was  married!  He,  a  mar- 
ried man,  had  actually  promised  to  return  to  the  Village  the 
following  afternoon  to  drink  tea — dare-devil  function  ! — in 
Polly's  studio,  where  the  charming  June  also  dwelt ! 

When,  over  the  coffee  the  next  morning,  Marie  spoke  of  the 
exhibit,  he  replied  morosely  that  it  had  been  "tommyrot"  and 
he  had  stayed  only  a  moment.  "However,"  he  added,  with  an 
effort  at  nonchalance,  "I  heard  of  an  artist  who  does  good 
work,  and  I'm  going  to — hm — run  up  to  her — to  his  .studio 
this  afternoon,  if  I  get  time." 

He  had  the  grace  to  blush  outrageously  at  this,  and  departed 
hastily,  leaving  the  little  lavender  lady  smiling  demurely  to 
herself  over  nothing  at  all.  "I  shall  soon  have  cause  for  jeal- 
ousy, I  fear,"  she  murmured,  "now  I  know  how  poor,  dear  old 
William  felt!" 

Thus  disrespectfully  did  she  speak  of  (her  elderly  fiance, 
William  Goldsmith,  whose  opportune  death  on  the  very  out- 
skirts of  matrimony  had  left  her  the  enviable  perquisite  of 
getting  up  at  whatever  shameless  hour  she  chose. 

Polly's  studio  proved  even  more  impossible  than  Ernest  had 
feared.  It  was  very  dirty,  very,  very  embarrassingly  feminine, 
with  its  intimate  garments  hanging  from  the  corners  of  the 
furniture,  and  hairpins,  cigaret  ashes  and  powder  scattered 
over  everything.  It  contained  broken  chairs,  tables  with  un- 
washed dishes,  a  model  throne,  several  sticky  clay  statues — 
and  June,  June,  looking  more  adorable  than  ever  in  a  loose 
smock  of  a  flaring  pink  that  lighted  twin  flames  in  her  soft 
cheeks  as  she  smiled  shyly  up  into  his  eyes. 

Of  the  ensuing  hours  he  had  only  a  vague  recollection  after- 
ward. He  knew  hazily  that 
there  had  been  other  people, 
awful  people  who  tittered 
shrilly,   and   smoked   like    fur- 


He  saw  Marie  lean 
forward  and  just 
brush  the  hair  of  the 
handsome  y.  f.  with 
a  kiss 


(TMrt^-tviOj 


naces  and  struck  posterish  attitudes.  He  knew  that  there  had 
been  one  ktdy  arrayed  airily  in  a  sheet,  and  bare  as  to  feet, 
who  did  a  dance  which  slie  entitled  "Psyche,  the  Soul,"  with 
much  elbow  mntinn.  and  who  finally  insi.sted,  to  his  horror, 
in  sitting  upon  his  knee  and  doing  things  to  his  hair  while  he 
writhed  in  agony. 

He  knew  that  there  was  a  blessed  interval  when  he  was 
alone  with  June,  -\fterwards,  in  the  middle  of  the  night,  he 
awoke  in  a  cold  sweat  trying  to  determine  what  he  had  said  to 
her.  and  only  after  great  mental  strain  being  able  to  assure 
himself  that  he  had  spoken  merely  of  .Art  with  a  capital  "A." 
"I  wont  go  back  to  that 
damned  place !"  he  cried  out 
loud,  blushing  chastely  in  the 
darkness  at  the  memory  of  the 
barefoot  lady.  "Hang  it  all, 
I'm  a  married  man " 

But — "Married  your  grand- 
mother!" jeered  his  baser  self, 
startlingly  apt.  "Think  of 
that  girl,  man ;  think  of  her 
hair,  think  of  her  eyes,  and 
the  way  her  face  crinkles  up 
when  she  smiles." 

For  several  days  Ernest 
managed  to  withstand  tempta- 
tion, much  to  the  unwifely 
chagrin    of    Marie    Max,    nt-c

disconsolately   about    the    studio.      "I

"He's  afraid,"  the  canny  Polly  opined.     "Scared  to  death".

BKFORF.   me    sat   the    Idealist   of 
the  screen,  Maurice  Tourneur! 
Leaning  back  in  my  chair  I 
studied  the  man  who  has  made 
fairy-tales,  visions,  and  poems 
live    and    breathe    before    the 
camera. 

Mr.  Tourneur  is  somewhat 
larger  than  the  average 
Frenchman,  and  indeed,  looks 
more  like  a  husky  athlete  than 
an  artist  and  poet,  yet  the  mo- 
ment he  spoke  I  felt  as  if  I 
were  in  the  audience  chamber 
of  an  Oracle,  for  every  word 
he  utters  is  heavy  with  mean- 
ing and  significant  of  deep 
thought. 

"Life  is  so  beautiful 
we  should  not  wish  to 
change   it,   yet  that   is 
what   we   endeavor   to 
accomplish    in    motion 
pictures,"    began    Mr. 
Tourneur,     gazing 
thoughtfully   thru   the   open 
windows  of  his  study  at  the  Goldwyn 
studio  in  Culver  City,  where  he  is  making 
his  pictures.    ' 

"On  the  screen  the  lovers  always 
plight  their  troth  in  moonlit  gardens 
where  birds  are  singing  and  roses  bloom- 
ing, while  in  reality,  love  comes  quietly, 
mvsteriouslv,     anywhere,     everywhere— 


Idealist  and  Artist 


in  the  noisy  thorofare,  in  the  shabby  cottage,  in 
the  \  illage  street — it  awaits  not  for  the  proper  'set.' 
"We  must  learn  to  find  romance  and  beauty  in 
eyeryday  life,  among  everyday  people.  This  is 
the  appeal  of  O.  Henry,  he  found  love,  adventure, 
romance,  in  every  moment  of  life. 

"Oh,  for  a  new  director,  a  young  revolutionist  I 
One  who  will  come  into  the  field  and,  flinging  open 
the  windows  and  doors,  sweep  aside  the  old  con- 
\entional  methods.  It  is  the  obvious  that  holds  us 
manacled  to  the  old  systems. 

'Think  of  the  relief  it  would  be  to  show  the  bad 
man  of  the  play  doing  a  good  turn  for  once;  to 
allow  the  hero  to  slip  occasionalh- ;  to  permit  the 
vampire  to  forget  her  eternal  cigaret  and  give  alms 
to  a  poor  beggar! 

"Think  of  the  sensation  it  would  cause  if  that 
young  director  of  the  future — the  one  who  is  going 
to  make  every  one  of  us  gasp — will  not  take  his 
scenes  in  the  best  of  conditions,  with  a  perfect 
backlighting  beautifully  reflected  by  silver  screens, 
but  instead,  take  them  as  they  really  are,  in  the 
morning  with  long  shadows,  in  the  sadness  of  dull, 
grey  weather,  perhaps  even  in  the  rain.  With 
the.se  snatches  of  life,  seen  thru  an  artist's  eyes, 
he  will  have  a  magic  garment  which  will  prove 
astonishingly  beautiful  and  delightfully  realistic — 
life  itself!"' 

"And  'Treasure  Island,'  why  did  you  select  it  for 
a  picture'"  I  questioned,  breaking  upon  his  reverie. 
"Chiefly  because  everyone  loves  the  story,"  came 
Mr.  Tourneur's  prompt  reply.     "There  was  one 
thing,  however,  that  worried  me — the  lack  of  ro- 
mance, I  mean,  the  lack  of  se.x  appeal  romance. 
I  had  the  choice  of  changing  it  into 
a    conventional    love    story,   and    I 
would   rather   have   died   than   do 
such  a  thing,  or  of  putting  a  girl 
into   the   cast   in   the   role   of   Jim 


Hawkins. 
Mason 
plays 
this  role. 


I  put  the  girl  in.   Shirley 


"Oh,  for  a  new  direc- 
tor, a  young  Revolu- 
tionist!" says  Maurice 
■Tourneur.  "One  who 
will  come  into  the  field 
and,  flinging  open  the 
windows  and  doors, 
sweep  aside  the  old 
conventional  methods. 
It  is  the  obvious  that 
holds  us  manacled  to 
the  old  systems"

She  is  the  size  of  an  eighteen-year-old  lad  and  is 
an  excellent  actress.  Oh,  I  have  already  been  criti- 
cised for  doing  this  but  it  seemed  the  better  plan 
to  me. 

"There  is  plenty  of  romance  of  the  sea  in  'Treas- 
ure Island.'  You  remember  the  pirates?  I  made 
them  prominent,  and  what  a  time  I  had  with  those 
pirates.  At  first  they  acted  like  a  Sunday  school 
class  at  a  picnic  or  a  lot  of  ma.squeraders  strutting 
around  the  plaza  on  a  holiday  parade.  Toward  the 
end,  iiowever,  they  became  very  clever.  Mj'  God, 
how  they  learnt  to  swear !  I  blushed  while  I  took 
the  scenes.  They  were  dirty,  too,  and  enjoyed  it 
after  true  pirate  fashion. 

"We  hear  much  about  the  American  audience  not 
caring  for  fairy-tales,  that  they  are  too  practical  to 
find  enjoyment  in  such  wild,  imaginary  stories,  and 
when  presented  as  fairy-tales  this  is  only  too  true,  but 
in  the  present-day  motion  pictures  we  must  admit  that 
the  characters  are  just  the  same  as  in  the  fairy-tales. 

"To  be  sure  the  handsome  hero  wears  a  frock  coat 
or  sport  flannels  rather  than  the  feathered  cap  and 
velvet  mantle  of  the  days  of  yore ;  the  lovely 
princess  is  attired  in  mod- 


ish frocks  rather  than  m 
the  cloth  of  gold  woven  by 
the  Queen  of  the  Fairies. 
"The  story  is  the  same, 
for  the  good  fairies  are 
always  more  powerful 
than  the  wicked,  the 
monstrous  dragon,  or  vil- 
lain, is  always  vanquished, 
virtue  triumphs  over 
evil,  the  lovers  marry  and 
live  happily  ever  after. 


"Motion  Pictures  must 
move  onward  to  the 
place  where  life  seen 
thru  an  artist's  mind 
will  find  expression  on 
the  screen,"  says  Mr. 
Tourneur.  "Suggestion 
must  take  the  place  of 
exact  delineation,  im- 
pressionism in  place  of 
the  literal  transcription, 
alike  in  motive  and 
execution" 


^^^iPT 


"This  only  shows  that  audiences  do  not  always 
know  what  they  want.    The  artist,  the  musician,  do 
not  ask  their  patrons  what  they  want,  they  give  them 
what  they  themselves  mish  to  give  them.     The  mo- 
distes do  not  ask  their  customers  what  the  styles  shall 
be.    Oh,  no,  they  get  together  and  decide  that  next  year 
the  women  shall  dress  to  look  like  mushrooms,  and  be- 
hold, next  year  thev  all  look  like  mushrooms,  and  they 
like  it!" 

Maurice  Tourneur's  life  has  been  most  eventful  and 
colorful.  He  was  born  in  France  in  1878,  graduating 
from  Lycee  Condorcet  at  the  age  of  eighteen.  His  first 
step  in  the  artistic  w-orld  was  as  a  designer  and  interior 
decorator.  He  illustrated  everything,  designed  fabrics, 
lace  curtains  and  stage  settings.  He  became  associated 
with  Rodin,  and  later  assisted  the  great  artist,  Puvis  de 
Chavannes,  in  designing  the  decoration  for  the  Boston 
Public  Library.  Then  came  three  years  in  the  French 
Army  as  an  officer  of  artillery. 

When  his  period  of  military  service  expired  he  turned 

to  the  stage  and  his  rise  in  this  profession  was  rapid. 

His  first  engagement  was  with  a  road  show  giving  four  one-act  plays 

on  one-night  stands,  and  Mr.  Tourneur  laughingly  recalled  in  those 

four  plays  he  acted  nine  parts. 

This  was  followed  by  a  world  tour  with  Mme.  Rejane,  which  in- 
cluded England,  Portugal,  Italy,  Spain,  Africa,  and  South  America. 
It  was  about  this  time  that  motion  pictures  began  to  take  their 
place  in  the  amusement  world  and  he  became  associated  with  Emile 
Chautard,  director  general  of  the  Compagnie  Eclair,  the  leading 
film  company  of  Paris.  After  a  short  experience  in  acting  and 
directing,  he  was  sent  to  .Africa  to  produce  war  pictures  and  with 
the  entire  French  Army  at  his  command,  he  made  a  number  of 
notable  productions.

A  Rochester  girl, 
Edith  Johnson,  became 
known  the  world  over 
as  "the  Kodak  eirL" 
Miss  Johnson  posed  for 
Eastman  Kodak  adver- 
tising pictures  from  the 
time  she  was  fourteen. 
She  started  her  screen 
career  with  Lubin 


THE  distinction 
of  being  one  of 
the  most-plioto- 
graphed  and  adver- 
tised girls  in  the 
world  belongs  to 
Edith  Johnson.  Not 
that  she  achieved  this 

result  thru  her  short  career  in  motion  pictures. 
It  was  because  the  Eastman  Kodak  Company 
selected  her  from  a  number  of  aspirants  to  pose 
for  their  advertisements. 

You  have  seen  Edith  Johnson  in  every  sort  of 
kodak  pose  from  the  time  she  was  fourteen  years 
old,  even  tho  she  "made  up"  to  add  a  few  years. 
She  was  born  in  Rochester — perhaps  that  is  why 
the  Eastman  people  thought  home  talent  should 
have  first  chance.  Thru  her  earnings.  Miss 
Johnson  was  able  to  take  a  college  course,  and 
because  of  her  much-photographed  beauty,  a 
small  part  was  offered  her  with  the  Lubin  Com- 
pany, in  Philadelphia. 

However,  William  Duncan's  leading  lady  states 
emphatically  that  her  r^^/ life  only  began  when  she 
entered  his  company  to  do  serials.  While  she  had 
studied  make-up  and  action  with  other  compa- 
nies, her  opportunities  were  decidedly  limited. 
Yet  it  was  because  Mr.  Duncan  chanced  to  enter 
a  theater  where  the  feature  showed  Edith  Johnson 
playing  leads,  that  she  received  a  telephone  invi- 
tation to  come  to  the  Vitagraph  lot  and  talk  over 


The  Kodak  Girl 


"a  little  business  proposition."  The  first  days 
talk  covered  Edith's  screen  experience  and 
sounded  her  on  the  question  of  playing  serials. 
No  mention  of  salary  had  been  made  by  Mr. 
Duncan,  and  contracts  were  not  even  referred 
to.  The  star  and  the  girl  who  had  played  op- 
posite Tyrone  Power  in  several  production.-- 
parted  pleasantly,  but  without  even  a  "see  you 
again  soon"  expression. 

Within  the  second  setting  of  the  sun,  the 
telephone  summoned  Miss  Johnson  again  to  the 
Vitagraph,  and  this  time  she  was  offered  a 
salary  much  in  advance  of  her  previous  earn- 
ings and  asked  to  do  one  picture.  She's  doing 
the  third  serial  with  the  Scotch  star  now,  the 
first  having  been  "The  Fight  for  Millions.'' 
This  was  succeeded  by  "The  Man  of  Might" 
and  now  "Smashing  Barriers"  is  nearing  com- 
pletion. 

Edith  Johnson  has  been  described  as  a  blonde. 
That's  because  she  wears  a  golden  wig  defying 
detection.  In  repose,  she  is  almost  a  twin  to 
Beverly  Bayne — and  the  girls  were  born  in  the 
same  year,  1895.  Miss  Johnson  is  two  inches 
taller  than  Mrs.  Bushman,  but  of  the  same 
delicately  rounded  build.  She  has  tenderly 
feminine  brown  eyes — eyes  not  to  be  associated 
with  death-defying  stunts. 

Miss  Johnson  is  blest  with  strong  individu- 
ality, makes  intimacies  slowly  and  yet  is  charm- 
ingly entertaining  on  first  acquaintance.     She

dresses  far  more  like  an  Easterner  than  a  Cali- 
fornia girl,  always  choosing  grey,  white  or  black 
frocks.  We  of  the  West,  so  accustomed  to 
ruby  lips  and  tinted  cheeks  on  the  streets,  with 
frocks  outbidding  the  flowers  in  brilliancy,  find 
the  quiet  costuming  and  creamy  pallor  of  Edith 
Johnson  a  distinct  oddity.  But  if  her  furbelows 
are  modest  and  almost  colorless,  the  jewels  of 
Edith  Johnson  reveal  regal  splendor.  They  are 
many  and  priceless. 

"Did  you  ride  before  you  went  into  pictures  ?" 
I  asked,  as  we  sat  in  her  second-floor  dressing- 
room.  The  little  chamber  assigned  to  Miss 
Johnson  is  made  habitable  by  wall  drapes  of 
blue  and  white  silkoline,  the  dressing-table  and 
bo.xes  being  covered  with  the  same  material. 
.-\t  Vitagraph,  the  dressing-rooms  were  hur- 
riedly put  up,  sans  plaster  and  presenting  a 
very  uninviting  appearance,  so  Edith  got  busy 
with  tacks  and  hammer  and  has  a  sky-blue  cage 
with  three  windows  and  to  which  very  few  are 
admitted ;  in  fact 

"You  see,  I  chose  this  end  room  because  I 
can  hear  any  one  come  up  the  stairs  and  walk 
along  the  dressing-room  row — and  they're  not 
admitted  if  I  hear  them  coming  first!"  Miss 
Johnson  laughed  merrily.  "One  has  so  little 
time,  and  it  is  very  disturbing  to  entertain  vis- 
itors.   The  colored  maid  asked  me  today  why  I

didn't  take  the  room 
next  to  mine,  for- 
merly occupied  by 
Bessie  Love.  It's 
much  larger  and  has 
a  better  lighting  sys- 
tem, but  I  know  I 
should  not  be  nearly 
so  safe,  and  I  would 
miss  the  view  of  the 
liills  and  sunsets  possible  to  these  end  windows. 
"Oh,  yes,  you  were  asking  about  my  riding?  I 
never  had  been  on  a  horse  before  I  went  into 
serials.  The  first  day  I  rode  I  was  not  even 
given  a  chance  to  practice,  but  just  sent  off  on 
what  seemed  a  fiery  steed  to  me.  We  rushed 
down  a  hillside  until  I  hadn't  a  hairpin  left,  but 
I  clung  on  and  made  it  safely.  When  I  was  to 
alight  my  knees  shook  so  and  I  was  so  fright- 
ened they  had  to  lift  me  off.  But  noiv!  You 
should  see  me.  I'm  not  afraid  to  take  anything 
— broad  jumps,  streams,  chasms  or  anything  the 
picture  requires. 

"There  is  only  one  stunt  in  which  I  use  a 
double — the  swimming  scene.  I  have  a  terrible 
fear  of  the  water.  Yes,  I  can  swim,  but  the 
moment  I  find  myself  in  water  above  the  chest  I 
almost  lose  consciousness  with  fear,  so  I  know 
it  would  not  be  safe  for  me  to  attempt  water 
stunts." 

"Did  you  ever  have  a   real  scare — something 
that  would  put  crimps  into  your  hair  for  a  week  ?"

Understudying  Mary 


By  CHARLES  G.  RICH 


0\'i;k  all  the  surface  of  the  world — wherever  motion  pictures  are 
shown — and  that  means  everywhere  except  on  the  deserts,  in 
the  mountain  fastne.sses,  the  forests  and  the  jungle — little  girls 
and  big  girls  too,  with  curly  blonde  hair  and  girls  with  hair  that  is 
neither  blonde  nor  curly— have  stood  long  and  often  before  their 
mirrors  and  have  tried  to  find  in  the  reflection  something  that  re- 
sembled the  great  Mary  Pickford. 

Curls  have  been  pinned  on — heads  have  been  tilted  and  mouths 
lave  been  pouted — and  sometimes   when  the  looking  glass  caught

a  fleeting  expression  that  is  peculiar  to  the  big  star,  the 
ioy  of  the  poser  has  known  no  bounds. 

And  with  what  a  dizzying  thrill  of  pleasure,  has  the 
small  girl  with  the  blonde  curls  heard  someone  say : 
"She  looks  just  like  Mary  Pickford."  For  days  there- 
after, the  little  girl  thus  complimented  has  lived  in  a  sort 
of  fairyland  and  dreamed  dreams  that  someday — 
perhaps — ? 

Dreams  do  come  true — sometimes — and  the  little 
girls  with  the  curly  blonde  hair  and  the  other  girls  with 
neither  the  blonde  hair  nor  the  curls,  are  now  to  learn 
that  the  joyous  dream  of  looking,  and  actually  acting, 
"just  like  Mary  Pickford,"  has  come  true  for  one  little 
lady,  vi'hose  name  is  Louise  Du  Pre. 

Louise  Du  Pre  is  "just  like  Mary  Pickford,"  or  as 
nearly  so  as  nature  ever  cast  two  human  beings.  Miss 
Pickford,  herself,  discovered  this  fact  and  when  she 
started  the  production  of  "Pollvanna"  she  engaged  Miss 
Du  Pre  as  her  understudy.  The  first  understudy  to  a 
screen  star  in  the  historv  of  mo- 
tion pictures. 

All  of  the  big  stars  on  the 
speaking  stage  have  understudies, 
but  Louise  Du  Pre  is  the  first 
legitimate  understudy  to  a  screen 
star.  How  many  other  motion 
picture  stars  will  follow  Miss 
Pickford's  lead  will  depend  upon 
the  difficult  task  of  finding  talent, 
plus  perfect  resemblance ;  be- 
cause the  stage  star  needs  only 
dramatic  ability  in  her  under- 
study while  the  screen  star  must 
find  one  that  duplicates  her  in 
appearance. 

"When  Miss  Pickford  sent  for 
me  and  offered  me  the  position 
as  her  understudy,"  says  Miss 
Du  I-^re,  "I  realized  that  the 
honor  was  one  that  millions  of

granted  that  he  should 
fall  in  love  frequently 
with  some  beautiful 
lady — perhaps  in  a 
passing  limousine,  or  it 
may  be  the  little  black- 
eyed  waitress  at  Joe's,

he  should  rap  on  the

every  morning  at  nine, 
and  be  told  to  enter 
upon  a  gay  little  attic

is  only  possessed  by

Stuart's  age.  P.ut  you 
do  not  know  that  he 
had  an  exceeding  whole- 
some, clean  young  body, 
curly  black  hair,  too 
long — not  because  he 
wanted  to  look  artistic 
but  because  it  was  less 
expensive  so,  and  gay.

At  the  third  sitting  she

ing his  time  In  prosaic

under  the  exceeding  sloping  roof 
of  a  brick  dwelling  thai  was  old 
when  Washington  stood  on  the 
steps  of  the  City  Hall,  two  miles 
away,  and  took  command  of  his 
army.  The  plumbing  was  not  of 
the  most  modern,  to  speak  euphuistically,  and  in  winter  there 
was  no  getting  away  from  the  fact  that  the  attic  let  in  as 
much  cold  as  in  summer  it  let  in  the  sun.  But  Stuart  took 
these  things  for  granted.  He  took  il  for  granted  that  he

eyes  when  the  moon  lay 
over    the    .\rch.    or    the 
sun     was     like     copper 
upon     the     old      Italian

Hedda  was  the  other  occupant  of  the  attic  lloor.     Site  was 
very  small  anfl  incredibly  slender  and  flower-dainly,  and  she 
was  going  to  be  a  great  singer  by  and  by.     She  was  going 
to  wear  Marguerite's  grey  robe,  and  sit  spinning  in  a  painted 
orchard  at  the  Metropolitan  and  the  whole  world  «as  to  be 
at  her  small  feet,  which —to  tell  the  truth     were  very  shabbily 
shod  at  present,  with  a  great  palih  over  one  >ilim  instep,  but 
that  is  a  mere  detail.

Stuart's  brush  fairly  ilaneed  over  his  e<mvas  lo  the  gu>h  of 
silvery  song.  When  the  last  of  tlieni  winged  into  silence  he 
flung  down  his  brush,  laughing. 

"S'ou  sing  thai,  lledda.''  he  taxed  her,  "al)solutel\  shanie- 
les'^ly !  You  sing  it  tircciiily — as  if  you  reall>  did  long  for 
iliamonds  and  rubies  and  |)earls!" 

.She  flushed.  laughed  lazily,  not  quite  meeting  his  eyes. 
"Moi,  je  suis  artiste,  Monsieur!"  she  defended  herself,  "an 
artist  must  be  able  to  pretend  all  the  feelings  in  the  world!" 

"No.     You  are  wrong,"  Ivan  said  suddenly   from  his  cor 
ner,  >peaking  crossly  as  he  always  did.     " .\n  .-irtist  must  have 
/('//  all  the  feelings  in  the  world." 

"W'cjuld  you  liave  Hedda  turn  murderer,  then,  (jr  go  mail 
in  order  lo  sing  Lucia?"  asked  Stuart,  indignantly.  "Must 
the  poor  girl  break  her  heart  for  love,  be  rent  with  the  pangs 
of  jealousy,  tattered  with  revenge,  poisoned  with  hate  ?  \on- 
sense.  Ivan— look  at  the  way  Hedda  just  sung  'ni  belle,  ni 
demoiselle'—  she  couldn't  have  put  more  heart-break  into  it 
if  she'd  been  head-over-heels  in  love!" 

The  old  cello  player  looked  ileliberately  at  the  girl,  perched 
on  the  bureau.  Stuart's  broad,  uncon.scious  back  was  toward 
them  and  he  did  not  see  the  confessing  crimson  sweep  the 
delicate  hollows  of  her  beauty  under  the  hard,  searching  old 
eyes  that  seemed  to  say  to  her,  "You  da  know  "  Wm  could 
not  sing  that  way  if  you  did  not  know  love." 

There  was  a  piteous  entreaty  in  the  look  she  cast  at  him. 
and  he  only  said,  dryly,  "Humph!"  and  fell  to  scraping  at 
his  instrument.  .An  old  man,  Ivan,  with  the  juices  of  life 
dried  out  of  him  fill  he  seemed  to  rustle  like  a  dried  mullen 
stalk  when  he  moved.  He  lived  in  a  tin>  room  below  the 
attic  floor,  played  in  an  orchestra  of  a  motion  picture  house, 
and  what  he  thought,  no  one  had  ever  been  able  to  discover, 
but  he  watclied  over  the  two  young  people  on  the  top  floor 
zealously,  and  they  accepted  him  as  one  of  the  n,-ilural  facts 
of  the  world  without  cpiestion. 

Hedda  sprang  down  from  her  bureau  and  samnered  .o\er  ti 
the  easel,  and  then   she  gave  a  little  cry.     "Oh, 
F'addie !"  she  gasped,  "Oh,  Paddie,  it's  beautiful!

"The  very  idea!"  cried  Hedda,  shocked  by  such  profanaliov. 
"vou  wait,  you  just  wait !  Some  day  somebody  will  di.fcovci

He  was  all  shiny  broadcloth,  and  patent  leather  shoes,  and 
silk  hat,  what  of  him  was  not  pink  flesh  and  pomaded 
black  hair  and  smallish,  knowing  eyes.  He  had  the  ettec 
of  making  the  whole  attic  look  rather  wretched  and  shabb\ .

MOTION    I'ICTURE 


■'.'»  nmmmmttummitimf!' 


Stuart  gripped  his  brush  fiercely  and  painted 
with  set  jaw  for  many  moments,  quite  ruining 
the  canvas,  and  trying  not  to  hsten  to  Hedda's 
silver  voice  parading  itself  in  the  little  room 
across  the  hall  for  Lcroy  Clemon|.  For  he  too 
had  heard  of  demons,  knew  that  he  was  a 
Power  in  the  musical  world,  albeit  it  was  in  light 
shows  in  which  a  slim  ankle  was  as  neces- 
sary a  qualification  as  a  voice,  knew  that 
if  he  decided  to  take  up  Hedda  and  ex- 
ploit her  she  woidd  not  have  to  live  in  gar- 
rets any  longer — 

"Danm!  Oh  damn!"  he  burst  out  suddenly, 
and  flung  his  brush  in  a  splotch  of  ochre  upon 
the  floor.     "I  thought — I  wanted — " 

Old  Ivan,  forgotten  till  now,  crept  out  of  his 
corner,  thrusting  his  dry  old  face  close.  "You 
thought  you  Were  in  love  with  her?"  he  asked. 
"You  wanted  to  marry  her  perhaps?" 

Stuart  Grant  stared  at  him  w-onderingly. 
"Why,"  he  stammered,  "I — believe — I  believe  to 
my  soul  that's  exactly  what  I  did  want,  tho 
I   never  realized  it  I" 

l.ose  Hedda?  Xot  hear  her  voice  (that  was 
like  a  flute  in  the  sunshine )  calling  at  his  door, 
not  have  a  little  yellow-shabby  room  with 
sausages  sizzling  to  turn  to  in  the  mornings — 
Preposterous.  Why  she  was  a  part  of  Life — 
she  was  a  iiart  of  liim. 

B.ut  old  Ivan  was  jiersistent.  "You  haven't 
told  her?"  there  was  an.xiety  in  his  parchment 
face.  .Actually,  thought  .Stuart  resentfully,  he 
was  afraid  he  would  marry  Hedda !  It  coiddn't 
he  jealousy — what  could  it  be?  He  was  soon  to 
learn.  \~ov  in  the  uninflectional  voice  of  sixty 
old  Ivan  proceeded  to  tell  him  what  marriage 
would  mean  to  Hedda — for  "I'm  not  denying," 
said  he,  "that  she'd  marry  you.  Women  are  all. 
fools!" — he  painted  the  future  before  her,  the 
wonderful  opportunities,  the  success  waiting  for 
her.  He  made  Stuart  .see  her  apjilauded,  beau- 
tiful surro\mded  with  the  luxury  that  was  her 
due,  a  great  singer  with  the  world  for  her  au- 
dience— Italy,  Paris,  England — and  as  against 
that  brilliant  picture  he  made  him  see  the  re- 
verse side  of  the  canvas,  the  dinginess  of  life 
as  the  wife  of  a  struggling  painter,  living  al- 
ways among  the  poor,  tawdry  makeshifts  that 
would  not  seem  funny  or  romantic  as  they  grew 
older. 

"Do  you  dare  to  tie  a  woman  like  that  to 
vour  poverty — to  wash  your  chipped  crocker\ 
for  you  and  cook  your  squalid  meals?  What 
chance  would  Love  have  to  live  in  such  an  at- 
mosphere? You  would  see  her  look  growing 
hard,  and  turning  to  indifi^erence  and  then  scorn, 
and  then — hate!  I  know.  Oh,  yes,"  and  he 
laughed  cacklingly,  "I  know  !" 

Stuart  Grant  was  stricken  dumb.  It  was  as 
iho  he  saw  himself  and  his  garret  and  the 
I'uture  in  new  guise.  His  eyes  were  dark  with 
I  he  bitterness  of  looking  on  their  stark  naked- 
ness. He  spoke  slowly,  because  he  did  not  want 
to  cry.  "I — see.  I'm  a  failure,  and  failures 
nuistn't  marry.  It's  perfectly  simple.  Oh, 
i|uite." 

Old  Ivan  was  pitiless;  he  finally  extracted  a 
promise  from  Stuart  that  he  would  not  tell 
Hedda  that  he  loved  her — "if  he  could  help  it." 
When  she  came  in,  trcnudous  with  the  great  news 
ihat  Leroy  Clemens  had  actually  offered  her 
a  part  in  his  new  musical 
show,  she  was  puzzled  and 
a  trifle  hurt  at  Stuart's 
silence.     "Of  course,"   she 

(FortytwoJ 


•It  is  I,  Hedda," 
Stuart  whispered 


CLASSIC 


said  apologetically,  "I  know  it 
isn't  much,  but  it's  a  beginning, 
Padflie !  And  everyone  has  to 
begin." 

"You'll  be  getting  your  dia- 
monds and  rubies  and  pearls  af- 
ter all,"  he  laughed,  but  the  sound 
hurt  her  edgily ;  "well,  this  re- 
quires celebration  I  How  about 
:i  party  at  Joe's  tonight,  with  the 
gang  all  there  ?    And  perhaps  we 

can  persuade  Joe  to  forget  about  prohiliUion  for  once,  beef- 
steak, too !"  He  was  reckless,  tho  she  guessed  that  his 
uatch  would  be  missing  the  next  day.  His  gaiety  rang 
hollow  like  a  drum,  but  slie  was  a  good  sport,  was  Hedda. 
She  fastened  a  smile  before  her  hurt,  donned  the  Pierrette 
guise  of  mockery  and  went  to  his  party,  star-eyed. 

It  was  a  very  gay  party  indeed.  Perhaps  the  contents  of 
the  tea  cups  that  Joe  kept  filled  was  partly  responsible.  All 
of  the  guests  were  young,  and  shabby.  Some  of  them 
laughed  because  they  were  happy,  some  of  them  because 
they  were  sad.  The  whitewash  of  the  dingy  rooms  flared 
with  fantastic  shadows,  toasting  a  shadow  ladv  who  sat  upon 
a  dais  at  the  head  of  the  long  bare  tables.  Stuart,  seeing 
them,  was  seized  with  an  idea.  He  leaped  from  his  seat  to 
the  fireplace  and  found  a  char  of  wood.  With  this  he  began 
to  sketch  roughly  upon  the  wall  where  Hedda's  pure  profile 
was  cut  in  shadow  like  a  cameo. 

He  was  so  engrossed  that  he  didn't  notice  that  their  se- 
clusion had  been  invaded  by  a  squad  of  "trippers"  doing  the 
Village,  uptown  women  with  crisp,  carefully  dressed  hair 
and  fragile  draperies,  who  stared  at  the  feasters,  and  whispered 
together  and  laughed  stridently.  Vroni  the  table  on  the  bal- 
cony where  they  sat  one  of  these  women  could  look  down 
upon  Stuart,  at  his  fantastic  work  Gracia  Trask  was  one 
of  those  women  in  the  twilight  zone  of  society.  She  had  been, 
a  trifle  too  much  married  for  entire — well,  respectability,  and 
yet  she  had  enough  money,  almost,  to  cover  all  her  sins,  and 
she  was  undeniably  lovely  in  a  finished  and  calculated  fashion. 
The  men  of  society  liked  Mrs.  Trask,  the  women  sniffed  at 
her,  avoided  her — and  invited  her  to  their  big  affairs. 

She  had  been  good  for  a  long  time,  nearly  eleven  months 
to  be  exact,  and  she  was  horribly  bored.  Women  of  her  type 
cannot  live  without  the  appcrtif  of  love-making.     She   saw 

(FoTtythree) 


Stuart    Grant    as    .soon    as    she    entered  "H«dd»,  you  shall 

the  room,  and  under  her  .shaven  brows  *"**  j^"""" J.*,**'' 

her  eyes  watched  him   with  a  glint   in  * 

them    as    a    tiger    watches    his    victim 
before  he  springs. 

Joe  touched  the  artist  on  the  shoulder,  apologetically.  "Ze 
lady  would  spik  to  Monsieur — ze  one  with  ze  so-red  hair — " 

Gracia  Trask  smiled  charmingly  up  into  Stuart's  politely 
questioning  face.  "I  suppose  you  think  I  am  mad  !"  she  said, 
"but  I  am  so  much  interested  with  the  picture  you  have  just 
made!  It  is  really  wonderful — I  wonder — "  she  leaned 
forward,  holding  his  eyes  with  hers,  which  w^ere  green  and 
gold,  like  topaz — "I  wonder  whether  you  wouldn't  paint  my 
portrait.  I'm  frightfully  vain,  you  know — and  I  want  an  ar- 
tist who  can  make  me  perfectly  beautiful!" 

Stuart  opened  his  lips  to  refuse,  as  his  Artist  Soul  bade 
him.  then  hesitated.  He  thought  of  Hedda.  He  thought 
of  Ivan,  and  he  laughed  out,  harshly.  What  did  it  matter 
what  he  painted — who  was  there  to  care?  "I  shall  be  glad 
to  paint  you,  Madame,"  he  bowed. 

And  so  Hedda  .sang  her  role,  and  Stuart,  in  the  pale  putty- 
and-grey  apartment,  smothery  with  patchouli,  sickly  with 
mauve  draperies,  painted  Gracia  Trask's  beautiful  bare  bosom, 
and  insinuating  smile,  and  old  Ivan  scraped  at  his  cello  in 
the  motion  i)icturc  house.  And  the  world  wagged  unfeel- 
ingly on. 

.\t  the  first  sitting  Mrs.  Trask  was  disarmingly  girlish  and 
confiding.  At  the  second  she  discovered,  without  a  word  from 
Stuart,  all  about  Hedda  and  was  more  alluring  and  charming 
than  was  quite  fair.  .\t  the  third  sitting  she  told  Stuart  that 
he  was  a  great  artist,  and  wasting  his  time  in  prosaic  and 
stolid  America.  "You  should  be  in  belle  Paris;  ah,  that  is

By  EMMA  LINDSAY-SQUIER 


I  mentally  tore  up  the  outline  and  went  out  with 
him  into  the  back  yard.  How  can  one  talk  art  to  a 
man  who  wont  wear  a  collar  and  who  looks  like  a 
sea-captain  on  shore  leave .'' 

"I'm  just  getting  the  yard  fixed  up,"  he  told  me, 
pointing  out  the  Japanese  sunken  garden,  with  trick 
bridges  and  weepmg  willows  and  things.  "I'm 
going  to  have  .some  kennels  for  my  Airedales — I 
raise  them,  you  know,  as  a  hobby — and  over  here 
will  be  an  aviary  for  my  prize  pigeons  and  tame  sea- 
gulls— birds  are  a  hobby  with  me,  too — and  over 
there  will  be  a  concrete  swimming  pool  where  Mrs. 
Roberts  and  I  can  take  a  daily  plunge." 

"Is  that  a  hobby,  too?"  I  broke  in,  facetiously, 
but  he  answered,  in  all  seriousness,  "Indeed,  it  is. 
I  need  rigorous  exercise  to  keep  me  in  trim  for  my 
work  at  the  studio." 

Since  he  had  mentioned  studio,  I  felt  that  it 
wouldn't  be  inapropos  to  say  something  about  pic- 
tures, so  I  told  him  that  he  was  reported  to  hold 
the  championship  in  the  movie  world  for  versatility 
and  for  having  more  roles  to  his  credit  than  any 
other  actor  on  the  screen.  He  nodded,  rather  ab- 
sent-mindedly, keeping  an  eye  on  the  man  who  was 
hauling  dirt  from  the  swimming  pool  excavation. 

"Yes,  I've  played  a  great  many  roles,  both  in  the 
legitimate  and  the  movies,"  he  acknowledged.  "My 
stage,  career  commenced  in  1880,  and  I  played 
everything  from  Shylock  to  Simon  Legree,  and  ran 
the  gamut  of  dramatic  characterizations  from  .Sven

IHAO  intended  to 
talk  to  Theodore 
Roberts  about  pic- 
tures exclusively. 
They  told  me  at  the 
Lasky  studio  that  he 
had  more  roles  to  his 
credit  than  any  other 
actor  on  the  screen, 

besides  a  multitude  of  Thespiati  interpretations 
given  in  his  forty  years  on  the  legitimate  and 
vaudeville  stages.  So,  as  I  walked  up  the  hill 
that  leads  to  his  Hollywood  castle,  I  planned  a 
perfectly  splendid  conversational  outline,  com- 
mencing with  how  did  he  like  motion  pictures 
and  ending  with  what  did  he  think  of  the  future 
of  the  cinema. 

But — you  know  about  the  best  laid  plans  of 
mice  and  interviewers.  As  I  waited  in  the  cool 
dimness  of  a  Jacobean  period  library,  I  heard 
his  wife  calling  to  him  in  the  back  yard.  Then 
I  heard  her  say  something  about  putting  on  a 
collar,  and  there  was  a  murmur  of  conversation 
I  couldn't  catch.  And  when  he  came  in  to  greet 
me,  he  didn't  have  a  collar  on,  and  I  could  nave 
hugged  him.  He  didn't  even  apologize  for  it, 
ju'l  said  that  he  was  busy  working  in  the  yard, 
and  wouldn't  I  like  to  rnme  nut  and  see  his 
animals  and  his  trees.

vaudeville  sketch  and,  five  years  ago,  went  into 
pictures.  Since  then  I've  averaged  one  role  a 
month,  sometimes  more,  so  you  can  figure  out 
how  many  parts  that  is — -and  that  will  he 
enough  shop  talk,  wont  it?"  He  broke  off 
abruptly,  turning  his  keen,  humorous  grey 
eyes  on  me, 

I  said  it  would,  because  I  did  want  to  see 
his  Airedale  dogs,  which  were  woofing  at  the 
top  of  their  lungs  to  attract  his  attention,  and 
his  lame  sea-gulls,  which  were  with  the  pigeons 
in  the  flying  pen,  screaming  to  the  high 
heavens  that  they  wanted  food  immediately  if 
not  sooner.  So  we  inspected  the  kennels,  and 
I  was  sniffed  at  by  "Boy  Seoul"  and  "Friar 
Tuck,"  and  had  my  face  licked  affectionately 
by  "Lady."  Then  we  went  over  to  the  flying 
pens,  where  his  prize  pigeons,  enormous 
Runts,  were  strutting  and  cooing,  and  the 
tame  sea-gulls,  "Pete"  and  "Repeat,"  flew  on 
his  shoulders  and  hands. 

"I'm  particularly  fond  of  sea-gulls,"  Mr. 
Roberts  told  me,  as  "Pete"  snapped  at  his 
meerschaum  cigar-holder.  "You  know,  it  is

It  was  on  the  Santa  Cruz 
Islands,  where  the  Cecil

making  the  shipwreck 
scenes  for  'Male  and  Fe-

Lord  Loam,  and  one  of  the 
carpenters  brought  me 
these  birds,  just  hatched. 
We  all  took  a  hand  at 
raising  them,  and  when  we  left  the  islands,  I  brought 
them  back  with  me.  When  the  aviary  is  finished 
they'll  have  a  miniature  lake  to  swim  around  in — it's 
a  hobby  of  mine  to  provide  natural  surroundings  as

The  Newest  Photoplays  in  Review       ; 


BY  all  odds  the  most  significant  photoplay  of  our  screen  month  wj 
David  Wark  Griffith's  "The  Clreat  Question,"   (First  National 
Not  because  it  is  a  good  screen  drama.     It  isn't.     But  it  has 
tremendous  idea  buried  beneath  its  melodrama. 

A  wave  of  interest  in  spiritualism  has  been  sweeping  the  world  sini 
the  days  of  the  great  war.  Does  after  life  exist?  Can  dear  on( 
across  the  Great  Beyond  exert  an  influence  over  earthly  destiniefj 
What  is  the  answer  to  the  eternal  problem  of  death  ?  Griffith  had  a 
these  questions  in  mind  when  he  started  to  screen  "The  Grei' 
Question."  ' 

Then  something  happened.    The  exhibitor — that  monster  reared  I 
producers  themselves — stood  menacingly  upon  the  horizon.     Wou! 
the  exhibitor  accept  a  stern  and  grim  drama  dealing  with  death  and  tl 
spirit  world?     We  can  imagine  Griffith  meditating — and  then  givif 
way  to  the  exhibitor  and  his  beloved  melodrama. 

So  the  vital  theme  of  "The  Great  Questioi 
was  carefully  buried  beneath  "action"  at 
"punch."  It  became  the  story  of  a  little  wa 
in  the  hands  of  a  murderously  brutal  farmi 
couple,  her  love  for  a  neighboring  boy  and  tl 
subsequent  finding  of  oil — with  its  attendai

lage  streets  her  small  feet  twinkled  to  more  rapid  melodies. 

There  were  strains  of  music  in  her  head,  wanton  and  wild  and 

rather  marvelous. 
Her  father's  going  meant  nothing  to  her  at  the  time  of  his 

departure.     At  the  time,  the  village  and  its  adulation  were 

sufficient.     Later   she   reached   out    for   wider   horizons   and 

she  followed  her  father  to  America. 

Schuyler  Van  Vechtan,  to  whose  extensive  and  ex- 
quisite library 
Dmitri  Varinof  f 
was  reverential 
apostle,  was  one  of 
the  last  of  an  old 
order.  He  iiad 
traditions  in  his 
soul.  He  had  be- 
liefs. Lurkingly, 
but  very  convinc- 
ingly, he  had  ideals.

reminiscent  lavender  did  not,  somelinw.  rust  away  the  belief 
still  straight  and  shining  somewhere  in  the  ungrown-up  depths 
of  him.  His  aristocracy  was  in  his  long,  sensitized  hands, 
too,  and  in  his  voice  with  certain  modulations,  time-mellowed. 

The  day  Sonia  Varinoff  came  into  his  study,  tucked  oddly 
away  on  the  tiptop  of  one  of  the  many  skyscrapers  his  business 
ingenuity  had  placed  in  his  possession,  something  happened  to 
him. 

It  was  just  at  twilight.  Dmitri  was  copying  something  or 
other  under  one  of  the  tall  windows,  hung  in  sullen  red. 
Schuyler  was  meditating  as  to  where  he  should  dine,  and  with 
whom.  It  occurred  to  him  that  he  was  lonely.  Often  he  had 
thought  so  before,  but  this  evening,  in  this  particular  twilight, 
tinted  mauve,  it  came  to  him  with  something  of  sick  oppres- 
sion. It  seemed  curious  to  him  that  al  this  time  .Sonia  should 
make  her  vivid  entrance  into  his  study  at  the  top  of  the  world, 
into  his  life  .   .   . 

Of  course,  he  saw  at  once,  while  she  stood  talking  to  her 
father,  with  many  gestures  and  nnich  play  of  very  potent 
hands,  that  she  was  not  in  keeping  with  the  old  Van  N'ecluan 
order  of  things,  but  he  knew  that  old  orders  have  nothing  to 
do  with  a  man  when  a  wcjman  comes  into  the  twilight  of  his 
life,  lighting  it   .    .    . 

Here  was  a  per.sonality.  He  knew  that.  It  nnistn't  get 
mi.\ed  up  with  the  flotsam  and  jetsam,  tict  confused,  the 
brilliant  edges  rubbed  away  with  contacts,  unnecessary  con- 
tacts. 

He  had  a  long  talk  with  Dmitri  after  she  had  gone  into  a 

small  guest  chamber  he  kept  reserved  for  the  very  occasional 

and  very  favored  passer-by,  and  loUl  the  old  man  to  keep  her 

there,  to  encourage  her  to  study  her  music,  to  give 

her  opportunities,  at  his  expense. 

Dmitri  Varinoff  was  a  canny  old  man ;  books  had 
made  him  so.  He  had  polished  his  wits  to  a  pow- 
dery fineness  by  much  bibliophiling.     He  knew  that

personalities.     It  was  clear  that  he  had  seen  something  p 
table  in  his  little  girl.     .\nd  old  Dmitri  fell  very  glad. 

There  was  one  disturbed  (lerson  when  the  new  arranges 
was  made  clear.  That  person  was  Peter  Derwynt,  secret 
to  Van  Vechtan  and  chief  high  a<lviscr  in  all  business  tri 
actions  and  the  like  of  that.  He  was  largely  disturbed  beci

Sonia's  guardian." 

Peter  remained  unenlhusiastic.  What  Van  Vechtan 
had  a  habit  of  being  done,  and  he  supposed  the  personal  f 
veillance  of  this  Russian  person  would  be  done,  too,  but  he'

Dmitri  was  killed  crossing  a  street 
before  the  traffic  was  halted.  He 
had  come  unexpectedly  across  a 
rare  edition  and,  in  his  eagerness  to 
bear  it  back  to  tht  tower  rooms, 
met  his  death.  He  looked  quite 
peaceful  when  they  brought  him 
in,  the  rare  edition  still  fast  in  his 
stiffened  arm.  It  was,  Van  Vechtan  told  the  sobbing,  dis- 
traught Sonia,  a  wonderful  moment  for  him  to  meet  his  death, 
exultant  as  he  must  have  been,  momentarily  fulfilled.  "All  his 
blood,"  said  Van  Vechtan,  with  a  wonderful  tenderness  in  his 
manner,  "had  gone  into  his  care  and  seeking  of  books.  He  is 
quite  happy  and  at  rest,  I  know.    Dont  be  sorry,  my  child." 

Joan  was  sorry,  too.  Prior  to  Dmitri's  dfeath  Sonia  had 
been  something  of  a  thorn  in  her  flesh,  on  the  infrequent 
occasions  of  her  having  tea  in  the  tower  with  the  little  group. 
It  had  seemed  to  her  almost  like  waving  a  red  flag — this  Sonia 
so  near  to  Peter.  Sonia's  love  of  litm,  too,  quite  naturally 
tormented  her.  It  was  frank  and  unconcealed,  and  it  was 
violently  appealing.  Joan  knew  that  Peter  loved  her.  She 
knew,  too,  however,  that  he  was  wearing  him.self  out  with 
wanting  her,  with  waiting,  and  there  are  so  many  infusions  in

perate  little  figure,  seductive  even  in  her  darkened  draperie 
with  the  shadows  under  her  wonderful  eyes  and  the  disarraj 
of  her  entangling  hair. 

It  wasn't  very  long  after  Dmitri's  death  that — well,  it  was^  t 
this  way.  Joan  came  to  the  tower  quite  unexpectedly  one  late^ 
afternoon.  Somehow  she  had  managed,  at  a  last  moment,  to 
escape  the  machinations  of  her  maternal  parent  and  the  in- 
sistencies of  the  pork-packing  Jimmie  Sutherland,  .^he  had' 
wanted,  especially,  to  see  Peter.  It  wasn't,  she  well  knew, 
quite  the  thing.  Still,  what  did  "the  thing"  matter  when  an 
urge,  beyond  good  and  evil,  got  a  grip? 

She  went,  almost  blindly,  to  the  tower  rooms. 

It  was  immediately  after  Sonia's  practice  hour.  She  had 
been  playing  very  wonderfully  and  getting  up,  in  between  bits, 
to  execute  or  to  better  interpret  with  snatches  of  erotic 
dancing.  She  had  felt  very  much  in  love  with  Peter.  She  felt, 
too,  rather  badly  treated.  She  couldn't  quite  see  Peter's  point 
of  view,  or  rather,  lack  of  it.  Of  course,  Joan  was  dear, 
lovely  and  goddess-like,  but  Peter — Peter  and  she  were  vital 
and  living  and  near  to  each  other.  Sonia  believed  in  proximity 
and  the  thoro  reasonableness  of  the  immediate  hour. 

When  Joan  came  in,  quietly,  to  charmingly  surprise  a  lonely 
Peter,  she  saw  .Sonia  on  the  arm  of  his  chair,  her  bare  arm 
about  his  non-resistant  shoulders,  her  thick,  arresting  voice 
saying,  "Dont  you  love  me,  Peter  .  .  .  just  a  little  .  .  .  just 
a  little  ..." 

J(>an  waited,  a  shade,  in  the  dim  shadows. 

f  Fiftif-foitr ) 


CLASSIC 


Peter  said,  "Ves,  but "  and  Joan 

did  not  see  that  Sonia  saw  her  there 
and  swiftly  stifled  Peter's  "but"  with 
her  hand.  She  saw,  only,  Sonia  bend 
to  him,  touch  his  mouth  with  hers, 
lightly,  then  more  closely,  and  seeing 
nothing  more,  blanclied,  like  a  sorry 
ghost  who  has  walked,  forgotten, 
among  the  loved  living,  crept  away. 

It  was  a  long  while  after  the  Lady 
Joan's  brilliant,  immediate  marriage 
to  James  Sutherland  before  Peter 
Derwynt  saw  her.  and  still  longer  be- 
fore he  in  any  sense  understood  the 
hurt  she  had.  with  seeming  ground- 
lessness, dealt  him. 

In  that  interim,  bereft  and  with  the 
feeling  of  one  left  naked,  exposed  to 
biting  winds,  he  turned  to  Sonia,  tried 
in  lose  himself  in  her  warm  witch- 
eries, married  her. 

It  was  like,  he  often  thought,  hav- 
ing been  acolyte  to  some  passionless 
lily,  having  worshiped  the  lily, 
having  spilled  the  last  chalice  of 
his  soul  into  the  chaste  cup  and  then, 
.nt  length,  turned  utterly  away,  to  seek 
and  find — he  admitted  the  finding — a 
riotous  fragrance  of  consolation  in 
some  scarlet,  delirious  rose. 

.Sonia  was  like  that  to  him  .  .  . 
scarlet  and  delirious  .  .  .  but  never, 
never  in  their  most  ultimate  moments, 
was  she  Joan  ...  He  knew  that, 
and  she  knew  it,  too. 

Her  knowing,  her  knowledge  of  it. 
had  something  to  do  with  her  mounting 
zest  for  dancing,  for  gowns  and  jewels 
and  furs,  the  bedeckings  of  the  town. 

Peter  was  unable  to  do  these  things 
for  her.  Schuyler  Van  \'echtan  was, 
she  thought,  uninterested  aside  from 
the  income  he  gave  her,  methodically 
and  silent,  from  month  to  month.  He 
seemed  to  her,  more  than  ever  of  late, 
just  a  part  of  the  twilight  detached, 
cjuietly  observant. 

Still,  it  was  to  Van  Vechtan  she 
fiwed  her  meeting  with  Jimmie  .Suth- 
erland. 

Van  Vechtan  had  dined  one  evening 
v\ith  the  Sutherlands.  He  had  been  touched  by 
the  stilled  suffering  on  Joan's  face.  All  at  once 
the  error  of  the  whole  thing  assailed  him.  Peter, 
tormented,  even  tho  deliriously,  by  .Sonia,  not 
understanding  her,  not  able  to  get  the  thread  of 
her  being,  the  thread  of  gold  Van  Vechtan  knew 
to  be  there,  ready  for  unraveling  .  .  .  and  Joan, 
writhing  under  Sutherland's  well-meant  tender- 
nesses .  .  .  bondages.  Van  Vechtan  thought 
.  .  .  only  contacts,  deliberate  contacts  could 
effect  liberations.  Van  Vechtan  believed  in 
liberations. 

He  gave  a  dinner  party  and  bade  the  Sutherlands  and  the 
Derwynts  to  attend.  There  would  be  makings  or  breakings. 
Van  Vechtan  believed  either  one  or  the  other  to  be  preferable 
to  this  galling,  this  fettering,  this  outraging  of  sensibilities. 

Jimmie  liked  Sonia.  He  understood  the  part  of  her  that  was 
still  the  dancing  village  child,  the  part  of  her  that  wanted,  now, 
the  trappings  of  the  city  where  the  lights  shone,  gold  and  rose. 
Sonia  liked  Jimmie,  too.  He  was  another  child  to  take  hands 
with  her  and  play  .  .   . 

They  took  to  meeting  and  dancing  a  great  deal  together. 
Sonia  became  confidential.  She  admitted  to  Jimmie  that  she 
and  Peter  had  words  over  bills.     She  wished,  she  said,  she 

(Fifty-five) 


could  obviate  all  that.    She  ought  to  be  Sonia  in  her  boudoir 

able  to.     Something  in  her,  sne  felt, 
was  going  to  waste  .   .   . 

Jimmie  suggested  a  plan,  a  humdinger,  as  he  termed  it. 
Sonia  should  dance.  He  could  get  her  "in."  She  should 
appear  en  masque,  create  a  mystery,  as  'twere.  Broadway,  he 
said,  ate  mysteries  alive  and  then  hollered  for  more.  Sonia, 
with  her  strange  grace,  her  abandon,  her  paradoxical  reserve, 
her  mystic  feet,  could  be  a  super-mystery. 

The  suggestion  suited  Sonia.     And  Jimmie,  time  heavy  on 
his  hands,  his  wife  cold  to  him,  his  lady  love,  Fay  Desmond,

HAT  person  lives  who  is  not  attracted 
by  beauty— beauty  of  face,  beauty  of 
voice,  beauty  of  complexion  ? 


Not  all  can  have  beautiful  features,  nor  can  all  have  beautiful  voices, 

but  a  beautiful  complexion  depends  largely  upon  the  care  that  is  given  to  it. 

Don't  neglect  those  ugly  little  blemishes,  that  excessive  oiliness,  those 
enlarged  pores.  Resinol  Soap  contains  just  the  necessary  requisites  to  aid  in 
overcoming  these  defects.    It  is  pure,  mila  and  cleansing, 

Compounded  with  the  greatest  care,  it  cannot  harm  the  most  delicate 
skin,  yet  it  usually  gets  right  at  the  root  of  the  compcxion  trouble,  and  aids  in 
obtaining  the  desired  beauty  of  skin. 

Resinol   Soap   for  the  hair  helps  to  give  it 
luster,  and  to  promote  the  health  of  the  scalp.

Ca  fuv  simple  rules  that  bring  Xbveliness 


Occasionally  you  meet  girls  who  are  beautiful  without  effort;  but 
most  lovely  people  are  lovely  because  they  know  the  rules.  Here 
are  a  few  simple  ones,  approved  by  skin  specialists,  which  every 
woman  would  do  well  to  follow. 


DO  you  want  to  know  why  your  skin  is 
not  always  clear?  Look  at  the  cloth 
after  cleansing  your  face  with  a  cream  pre- 
pared especially  for  cleansing.  The  dust  will 
make  you  realize  that  a  dull  looking  skin  is 
often  nothing  more  or  less  than  a  skin  not 
thoroughly  cleansed. 

The  only  means  of  keeping  the  skin  clear 
of  the  dust  that  gets  lodged  deep  within  its 
pores  is  the  cold  cream  bath.  For  this,  Van- 
ishing Cream  will  not  do,  for  Vanishing 
Cream  has  no  oil.  At  night  cleanse  the  skin 
with  Pond's  Cold  Cream.  The  formula  for 
this  cream  was  especially  worked  out  to 
supply  just  the  amount  of  oil  to  give  it  the 
highest  cleansing  power.

\T17HEN  you  powder,  do  it  to  last. 
'' '   Powdering  in  public  is  an  ad- 
mission that  you  are  uneasy  about 
your  appearance. 

The  only  way  to  make  powder  stay 
on  is — not  to  put  on  an  excessive 
amount — but  to  begin  with  the  right 
powder  base. 

Never  use  a  cold  cream  for  a  powder 
base.  It  is  too  oily.  The  right  powder 
base    is    a    greaseless,    disappearing 
cream.  Take  just  a  little  Pond's  Van- 
ishing  Cream   on   your   finger    tips. 
Rub  it  lightly  into  your  face.  Instant- 
ly it  disappears,  leaving  your  skin 
smoother.       Now    powder    as    usual. 
Notice  how  smoothly  the  powder  goes 
on — how  natural  it  looks.    You 
will  find  that  it  will  stay  on  two 
or  three  times  as  long    as   ever 
before.     You    need   never  again 
fear  a  shiny  face. 


CHAPPING  is  a  sign  of  carelessness.  So  is 
roughness.  You  can  keep  your  skin  as 
smooth  as  rose  leaves  all  winter  long.  Always, 
before  going  out,  smooth  a  little  Pond's  Vanish- 
ing Cream  into  your  face  and  hands.  It  softens 
the  skin  instantly,  so  that  the  cold  cannot  do 
it  the  least  harm.  It  is  a  good  idea  to  carry  a 
tube  of  it  right  in  your  hand  bag  so  that  immedi- 
ately before  and  after  skating  or  motoring  you 
can  soften  your  hands  and  face  with  it.  Ip 
this  way  the  delicate  texture  of  the  finest  skin 
will  never  suffer  from  exposure. 


JVhy  your  skin 

needs  two  creams 

/^\NE  without  any  oil,  for  daytime  and 
^^  evening  needs — Pond's  yanishing 
Cream.  It  will  not  reappear  in  a  shine. 

One  vHth  an  oil  base,  for  cleansing  and 
massage — Pond's  CoW  Cream.  It  has  just 
the  amount  of  oil  that  the  skin  needs. 

Neither  of  these  creams  will  encourage 
the  growth  of  hair  on  the  face. 

Get  ajar  or  tubeofeach  cream  today  at 
any  drug  or  department  store.  You  will 
realize  for  the  first  time  how  lovely  your 
skin  can  be. 


Catch  the  little  lines 

before  they  grow  big 

YOU  can  keep  your  face  free  of  the 
wretched  little  lines  that  will  keep 
starting.  Once  a  week  iron  out  these 
lines.  Massage  from  the  center  of  the  face 
outwards  and  upwards  with  Pond's  Cold 
Cream.  If  your  skin  has  a  tendency  to 
be  rough  and  dry,  leave  a  little  of  the 
cream  on  your  face  over  night.  Pond's 
Cold  Cream  has  just  the  smoothness  and 
body  required  for  a  perfect  massage 
cream.

ESSENTIAL  TONAL  QUALITIES 

A  Ch»r*ct*rutle  of  CONN  lMtniin«nts 

The  test  of  an  instrument  is  its  tonal  quah 
ties-  its  perfect  intonation  -its  symmetry  of 
proportion — its  proper  balance — its  embwli- 
ment  of  Art  and  Science  as  expressed  in  ap- 
pearance and  performance. 

Conn  Instruments  are  the  product  of  a  pat- 
ented method  impossible  of  attainment  else- 
where. An  intimate,  scientific  knowledge  of 
requirements,  plus  a  mechanical  tikill  in  pro- 
duction that  approaches  the  Artistic  and  Ideal, 
gives  a  guarantee  of  quality  and  uniformity  in 
tonal  elements  that  is  unsurpassed.  The  uni- 
versal recognition  of  this  superiority  af  Conn 
Instruments  by  all  great  Band  Leaners  of  In- 
ternational Fame  is  the  best  possible  guide 
and  assurance  for  the  beginner  or  the  veteran 
purthaser  of  band   instru^nents.

The  Broken  Melody  —  (Continued  from  page  43) 


where  (hey  woukl  appreciate  you  I"  she 
lold  him.  "It  is  wicked  lor  you  to  hide 
your  genius  in  a  wretched  garret  in  the 
slums  among  all  sorts  of  common, 
coarse  creatures  who  dont  under- 
stand  " 

She  used  that  word  a  great  deal,  and 
the  inference  was  that  out  of  everyone 
he  knew,  Gracia  Trask  alone  really  un- 
derstood him.  Stuart  hegan  to  feel 
abu.ied,  and  to  look  ahout  his  studio 
with  dissatisfied  eyes  that  saw  for  the 
first  time  the  bare  boards,  the  poor 
pinched,  bravery  of  furnishing. 

At  the  fourth  sitting  she  suggested, 
(|uite  casually,  that  he  should  go  to  Paris. 
She  watered  the  seed  thus  planted  at  the 
fifth  sitting  by  telling  him  that  she  would 
lake  him  with  her  as  her  secretary, 
courier — or  "what  he  pleased."  But  it 
was  not  luitil  the  seventh  and  last  sitting 
that  he  consented  to  go.  He  told  Ivan 
that  evening,  and  was  rewarded  by  the 
pale  flicker  of  relief  in  the  watery  old 
eyes.  It  was  the  cello  player  who  took 
Hedda  the  news. 

"It  is  well,"  Ivan  .said,  not  appearing 
to  notice  the  quiver  of  the  red  lips,  the 
agony  of  the  hurt  brown  e_\es  before 
him;  "he  is  a  great  artist,  and  like  all 
true  artists  he  tieeds  the  right  environ- 
ment. Here — "  his  gestiu'e  took  in  the 
gay  tarlton  curtains,  the  painted  pine 
furniture  and  made  them  ridiculous, 
"here  he  would  stifle !  His  Art  would 
either  die  or  become  prostitute  to  con- 
venience. It  is  very  well  that  he  goes. 
and  all  his  friends  should  rejoice  that 
this  chance  has  come,  eh,  Hedda  ?" 

The  girl  sat  quite  still  for  a  long  mo- 
ment. When  she  spoke  her  voice  was 
composed,  "Vou  have  known — I  think 
almost  before  I  knew,  how  I  felt  toward 
Stuart,"  she  said  quietly ;  "rather  than 
stand  in  the  way  of  his  good  I  would 
go  away  myself  and  never  see  him  again. 
That  is  what  will  hajipen  now.  He  will 
go,  and  I  shall  never  .see  him  again." 
The  pure  girlish  face  quivered  whitely 
into  a  selfless  smile.  "Do  not  be  afraid. 
my  kind  friend,  that  I  shall  try  to  keep 
him — or  thai  I  would  let  him  stay  even 
if  he  wished." 

They  were  very  gay  at  the  ])arting. 
Stuart,  with  his  shabby  portmanteau  and 
his  painting  outfit,  came  to  her  door  to 
say  gnod-bye,  and  they  both  made 
prodigious  efforts  to  pass  the  dangerous 
nionient  over  lightly.  They  joked  lame- 
ly about  the  I'ame  that  was  soon  to  come 
to  each  of  them,  the.\  s])oke  casually  of 
nuiUial  friends  of  Joe's,  they  talked  des- 
perately of  the  voyage,  and  his  chances 
of  cscajjing  seasickness.  Then  came  a 
panicky  moment  when  they  could 
neither  of  them  think  of  anything  safe 
to  say,  because  of  the  multitude  of  im- 
safe  things  that  struggled  to  be  out, 

"Oh,  Hedda !"  Stuart  said  suddenly, 
with  a  great,  thick  sob,  "Hedda — dear — 
tell  me  to  stay !  1  cant  go — and  leave 
you — I  cont ■ 

Then  1  ledda  lold  her  glorious  lie,  and 
her  (iuardian   Angel  hesitated  o\er   His 


ledger,  not  knowing  which  page  to  place 
it  on,  "I  cant  tell  you  to  stay,  Stuart," 
she  smiled — "because  I  dont  expect  lo 
l)e  here  long  myself,  demons  tells  me 
that  if  I  make  good  he  will  give  me  a 
hundred  a  week,  at  first,  then  much 
more.  .\nd  I've  got  to  succeed,  Stuart! 
I  wani  success  so — more  than — than 
anytliing  in  the  world.  I  want  money, 
and  beautiful  clothes  and  praise — "  She 
forced  herself  to  go  on,  tho  the 
words  choked  her.  "Do  you  remember 
the  time  you  reproached  me  with  want- 
ing Marguerite's  jewels?  Well,  you 
were  right,  Stuart — I  do  want  them,  and 
I'm  going  to  have  them!" 

"Then  that  is  how  I  shall  remember 
you,"  he  said,  smiling  with  stiff  lips, 
"covered  with  jewels " 

"He  despises  me,"  she  whispered, 
when  long  after  he  had  gone,  striding 
erectly  away  down  the  crooked  stairs, 
she  lifted  her  swollen  face  from  the  sod- 
den pillows  of  her  couch  bed.  "I've  cut 
the  last  strand  that  might  hold  him  back 
— oh,  God,  take  care  of  him!" 

Gracia  Trask  was  grievously  disap- 
pointed with  her  new  toy.  It  is  difficult 
to  feed  neurotic  fancy  upon  either  grati- 
tude or  remote  respect,  which  were  the 
only  two  emotions  Stuart  Grant  dis- 
played to  her.  He  was  very  silent  on 
the  trip  over,  tho  he  attended  faithfully 
to  her  Pekingese,  her  rugs,  her  books 
and  cushions,  her  steamer  chair  and 
wraps.  Once  in  Paris  he  stubbornly  re- 
fused to  allow  her  to  establish  him  in 
an  expensive  and  charmingly  decorated 
studio  as  she  had  fondly  planned.  More- 
over, he  would  not  dress  in  velveteen 
jackets  and  slouch  hats,  he  would  not 
drink  absinth?,  he  would  not — he  simply 
TCDiild  not  make  love  to  her. 

How  he  managed  to  live  she  could 
not  discover,  for  he  was  decidedly  un- 
comnnmicative  about  his  doings  when 
he  was  away  from  her.  Three  nights  a 
week  he  presented  himself  at  the  door 
of  her  pink-silk  upholstered  apartment 
on  the  Hlois,  impeccably  shaven,  amaz- 
ingly clean  and  very  much  a  man  in  spite 
of  his  out-of-date  and  shabby  old  even- 
ing suit.  They  would  go  out  and  dine, 
then  perhaps  to  the  theater  or  opera,  or 
now  and  again  to  a  reception,  for  the 
fair  Gracia  was  almost  as  well  known 
in  Paris  as  in  her  native  New  York; 
afterward  a  grave  good-night  at  the 
foolish  ivory  door  with  its  bird-of-para- 
dise  knocker.  No  wonder  the  clever 
and  accomplished  Mrs.  Trask  was 
baffled. 

She  tried  strategy.  In  some  way  she 
managed  to  learn  the  address  of  his 
rooms  and  appeared  there  late  one  after- 
noon, unannounced,  having  put  the  pro- 
testing concierge  in  his  place.  She  found 
Stuart  at  his  easel,  so  absorbed  that  even 
when  she  stood  beside  him,  looking  over 
his  shoulder,  he  was  unaware  of  her. 
She  saw  the  canvas.  She  recognized  the 
face.  It  was  that  which  he  had  been 
limning  months  ago  on  the  whitewashed 


wall  of  the  restaurant  in  Bohemja — 
Hedila's  face,  painted  as  only  Love  can 
liainl, 

I'lUl  she  tried  again.  She  was  not 
one  to  give  up  anything  she  had  set  her 
heart  upon  lightly.  And  she  was  not 
choice  of  her  methods.  She  look  Stuart 
(irant  to  a  reception  at  the  house  of  a 
friend  of  hers  and  arranged  that  in  his 
hearing  her  name  should  be  slightingly 
mentioned  with  hers.  She  was  waiting 
in  an  anteroom  when  he  came,  very 
pale,  with  thunderous  brows,  to  find  her. 

"'V'ou  must  let  me  take  you  home,"  he 
told  her  briefly,  "there  has  been — un- 
pleasantness. I  was  obliged  to  knock  a 
man  down." 

And  he  told  her  what  he  had  over- 
heard. She  looked  at  him  softly,  even 
tenderly,  for  he  was  a  man  born  to  be 
loved  of  women,  and,  as  much  as  she 
was  capable,  she  loved  him.  "Well  ?"  she 
asked.    "Well?    And  what  shall  we  do ?," 

If  she  had  expected  that  he  would 
perforce  ask  her  then  and  there  to  marry 
him  she  was  mistaken.  He  stared 
straight  before  him  somberly.  "I  have 
been  a  cad,"  he  said,  loathing  himself ; 
"I  have  accepted  your  favors,  and  I 
have  placed  you  in  a  position  where  peo- 
ple dare  say  wretched  things,  and  worst 
of  all  I  have  profaned  myself.  I  would 
be  still  more  of  a  cad  if  I  did  not  ask 
you  to  marry  me,  but  before  I  do  so  I 
must  tell  you  that  there  is  a  girl,  back 
there  in  New  York  whom  1  love  as  a 
man  loves  only  one  woman  in  his  life. 
I  have  tried  to  do  without  her,  but  it  is 
like  doing  without  part  of  myself.  I 
cannot  paint,  I  cannot  even  want  to  paint 
without  her " 

Gracia  Trask  put  out  her  hand  and 
took  his.  In  that  moment  she  stepped 
out  of  herself.  "Then  go  back  to  her," 
she  said  wearily,  "if  you  feel  that  way 
— go  back  to  her,  and  tell  her  to  try  to 
forgixe  me  for  taking  you  away    .    .    ." 

It  was  a  fortnight  later  that  Stuart 
I  Grant  pushed  ojien  the  door  of  his  attic 
in  P>ohemia  with  a  warm  rush  of  hap- 
piness in  his  heart,  as  he  looked  about  at 
the  blessed  familiar  shabbiness  that 
spelled  home.  Then  he  saw  that  it  was 
freshly  swept  and  dusted,  that  his  easel 
stood  ready,  with  a  canvas  on  it — that 
there  were  even  asters  in  that  old  blue 
jug  on  the  dresser 

I'oot.steps  on  the  stairs  brought  him 
about  with  a  cry,  but  it  was  only  Ivan 
who  stood  before  him,  gaping,  rustling 
with  every  movement,  as  he  reached 
out  and  touched  his  sleeve  with  bony 
fingers.  Then — "Thank  the  good  God  !" 
Ivan  said  hoarsely,  "you've  come  back 
in  time  to  save  her  from  breaking  her 
heart." 

"Her!"  Stuart  cried,  not  daring  to  be- 
lieve, "not — Hedda?" 

"Hedda."     Ivan  nodded,  and  groaned 

very   bitterly.     "I    was   wrong,      I   tried 

to     separate     you,     thinking     Art     was 

enough,  but   it  is  not  so.     She  stopped

Shadowland 
for  February 


Shadowland  for  February! 
As  three  words,  more  or  less 
unarresting,  this  announce- 
ment might  not  seem  to  mean 
so  very  much,  but  it  is,  as  a 
matter  of  fact,  an  illustration 
par  excellence  of  the  exceeding 
potency  of  mere  words,  the  un- 
derlying current  of  all  words, 
the  shades  of  meaning  behind 
the  obvious  meaning. 

Shadowland  for  February 
means  that  your  intelligence  is 
going  to  receive  direct  appeals. 
You  are  going  to  think,  which 
is,  to  state  it  mildly,  never  un- 
desirable. 

Shadow  I.  \\n  for  Fubkuary 
means  that  your  imagination  is 
going  to  be  touched,  possibly 
fired.  l)y  delicately  beautiful 
pictures,  by  colors,  by  words 
with  rliythm,  by  the  depart- 
ments— eacji  one  bearing  a 
message,  ^'ou  are  going  io  be 
impelled  to  dreaming  .   .   . 

Shadowland  for  Febkuarv 
means  that  your  news  sense  is 
going  to  be  amplified.  The 
plays  and  the  players  you  are 
curious  ;d)ciut,  interested  in, 
fond  of,  desirous  of  knowing 
better — you  are  going  to  know 
better,  by  the  power  of  bru.sh 
and  bv  the  power  of  the  pen. 

Sil\do\vland  for  February 
means  that  your  sense  of 
beauty  is  going  to  be — well,  at 
least,  we  think,  stimulated. 

Shadowland  for  February 
is  going  to  spell  laughter  .  .  . 
and  dreams  .  .  .  reasoning  and 
thought  .  .  .  profundity  and 
witticism  .  .  .  color  and  gravity. 
It  is  going  to  try  to  be  a  mes- 
sage vari-hued  and  vari-toned. 
It  is  going  to  try  to  be  still 
more  ...  a  promise  ...  an 
omen.

tlon,  or  in  the  subject,  he/art  which  I  mark  X. 


He  wai)  putting  in  long  hours  at  monotonous  unskilled  work.  His  small  pay 
scarcely  lasted  from  one  week  to  the  next.  Pleasures  were  few  and  far  between 
and  he  couldn't  save  a  cent. 

He  was  down — but  be  icouldn't  stay  there.'  He  saw  other  men  promoted,  and  he  made 
up  his  mind  that  what  they  could  do  he  could  do.  Then  he  found  the  reason  they  were 
promoted  was  because  they  had  special  training — an  expert  knowledge  of  some  one  line. 
So  he  made  up  his  mind  that  he  would  get  that  kind  of  training. 

He  marked  and  mailed  to  Scranton  a  coupon  like  the  one  below.  That  was  his  first  step 
upward.  It  brought  him  just  the  information  he  was  looking  for.  He  found  he  could  get 
the  training  he  needed  right  at  home  in  the  hours  after  supper.  From  that  time  on  he 
spent  part  of  his  spare  time  studying. 

The  first  reward  was  not  long  in  coming  — 
an  increase  in  salary.  Then  came  another. 
Then  he  was  made  Foreman.  Now  he  is  Su- 
perintendent with  an  income  that  means  inde- 
pendence and  all  the  comforts  and  pleasures 
that   make   life   worth    living. 

It  just  shows  what  a  man  with  ambition 
can  do.  And  this  man  is  only  one  out  of  hun- 
dreds of  thousands  who  have  climbed  the 
same  steps  to  success  with  the  help  of  the  In- 
ternational Correspondence  Schools.

'  The  Movie  Kiss 

Ily  Tom  Masso.n 

As  far  BS  we  can  judge  by  history,  the  kiss 
1 19  been  practlcert  in  all  ages.     It  varies  in  its 
iiecci  and  hur-e-power,  according  to  age.  race 
I  id  previous  condition  of  domestic  servitude. 
!  ,'hilc  it  is  a  purely  local  affair,  it  has  a  con- 
I  derablc  ran»;c  of   activity.     As  a   rule,  it  is 
/Uclusivcly  confined  to  two,  but  it  is  occasion- 
'  Ily  conveyed  by  hand  from  one  person  to  a 
roup  of  o'thcrs.    A  kiss  thus  blown  niay  reach 
•vcral  parties   for  whom  it  is  not  intended. 
.  i'hile  apparently  nc"cral  in  its  nature,  It  may 
e  intended  for  only  one. 
There  are  several  kinds  of  kisses.    There  is 
8'  It  common  or  domesticated  matrimonial  kiss, 
'  i  lat  works   automatically   and    frequently   be- 
rimes rustv  and  stalls  upon  critical  occa.iions. 
I  'here  is  tiic  short-lived,  or  honeymoon  kiss, 
ihose   age    varies    from    six    months   to   two 
I  ears,  accordlntr  to  climate  and  financial  condi- 
ion.    There  is  the  lover's  kiss,  that,  frequently 
ttains  a  cloud  hcipht  of  22,(10(1  feet  and  is  ac- 
nnipanied   by   explosions.     .\nd   there   Is   the 
;i»s  of  seasoned  ladies,  with  an  aurora  borc- 
Jis  exterior,  which  often  drops  internally  to 
00  below  rcro.     KissiuR  is  also  practiced  by 
'renchincn  when  confcrrinp  decorations  upon 

Sine  another  or  upon  tlie  suflfcrcrs  holouRini;  to 
■thor  nations. 
But  the  movie  or  screen  kiss  is  compara- 
iveiv  new  to  the  world.  It  Is  usually  some- 
Jiat  dilatorv  in  its  habits,  and  takes  place  "the 
lifflit  after''  or  "the  next  niorninR."  It  may, 
lowever.  occur  anywhere  alonR  the  line  of 
narch— between  recently  wedded  Inisbaiias 
iiul  wives,  partinc  lovers,  ir  when  bendinp 
)ver  cribs,  hospital  beds  or  sofas.  Thomas 
itlison  (lid  not  imciil  it,  but  he  is  more  or 
es<  responsible  for  it. 

There  is  one  peculiarity  about  the  screen 
iiss  that  m.-ikes  it  not  only  dirierent  from  any 
jthcr,  but  which  shows  that  the  kiss  in  Reneral 
i  a  tliins  in  itself  and  not  dependent  upon 
ime  or  materials.  For  wlun  we  see  it  on  ihc 
irreen,  altho  we  know  that  it  has  actually 
;akcn  place  in  the  past  and  is  now  well  over 
.vith.  we  think  'if  it  only  as  a  present  alTair. 
A'e  actually  delude  ourselves  into  thlnkinu  it  is 
low  going  on.  We  roll  up  rnir  sleeves,  smack 
)lir  lips  and  take  p:n't  in  it  ourselves  when. 
It  a  matter  of  fact,  it  was  probably  created 
fame  months  before  in  l.os  Ant-'clcs  or  Jrrsej 
City.  Thus  a  kiss  which  in  its  execution 
(akes  only  a  fraction  of  a  miiuite,  becomes  a 
permanent  affair,  ll  travels  all  over  the  world. 
I'he  movie,  therefore,  oiTers  domestic  possi- 
liilities  of  Rreat  interest.  A  newly  married 
man  may  kiss  his  bride  in  the  most  complete 
and  satisfactory  manner.  Ha\  iuR  arrived  at 
the  liiRhcst  point  of  skill  and  workmanship, 
lie  ran  have  a  film  taken,  which  his  wife  can 
thereafter  turn  on  for  her  own  benefit  every 
mornint:  and  eveniiiR,  while  the  husband,  re- 
lieved of  this  manual  labor,  can  devote  him- 
self more  ccmiplctely  to  the  business  of  keep- 
I  ipK  together  his  bodv  and  what  soul  he  may 
c  have  left  over. 

'     But  this  is  not  all,  for  the  screen  kiss  con- 
,  tains  a  value  still  more  hiterestinR  and  impor- 
tant.  Heretofore,  people  have  bad  to  get  alonpc 
;  and  learn  how  to  kiss  by  themselves,  without 
i  any  accredited  model.     They  have  had,  so  to 
I  speak,  to  grope  in  the  dark,  and  assiste<l  only 
I  by  each  other,   have  learned  by  severe  prac- 
'  tice.     The  only  object  lessons  they  have  had 
h?ve  been   furnished  by  amatetirs   like   tliem- 
Ives.  or  by  more  or  less  offensive  relatives 
railroad  stations.     Now,  however,  they  can 
1  out  almost  any  night  and  see  skilled  work- 
en  and  women  do  it  as  it  ought  to  be  done, 
'th  .1  minimum  loss  of  energy.    Thus  the  art 
oscMlation  is  getting  on  its  feet  and  becoin- 
T  standardized.     If  any  young  woman  views 
-r  lover  with  suspicion  because  there  is  no 
st    motion    in    the    way    he    grabs    her    and 
esses  his  lips  to  hers,  and  if  she  declares  that 
must   have  learned   it   somewhere   else,   he 
simply  refrr  her  to  the  osrulatory  ediica- 
ional  film  that  has  bfcn  running  in  the  loral 
lp.ll  ce  for  the  past  ibme  nights,  a'^  ronvinrini;

Theodore  Roberts 

(Coitliiiiicil  /r.7i,;  ['a;/c  4?) 

the  girl  he  snubbed.  And  on  the  legiti- 
mate stage,"  he  went  on,  reminiscently, 
"I  enjoyed  doing  Shylock  better  than  any 
other  character.  Yon  see  so  few  con- 
vincing portrayals  of  that  character.  He 
is  depicted  mostly  as  a  scurrilous  Jew 
with  an  enormous  lust  for  gold  and  a 
vicious  spirit  thai  is  .satisfied  only  with 
blood,  while  as  a  matter  of  fact,  .Shake- 
.speare  has  given  him  no  speeches  that 
are  not  full  of  dignity  and  forcefulness, 
while  his  whole  personality  is  that  of  a' 
leader,  not  a  mongrel  money-lending 
foreigner.  I  tried  to  make  him  the  rep- 
resentative of  a  race — and  a  human 
being." 

I  found  myself  tliinking  that  it  zvas 
possible  to  talk  art  without  a  collar,  but 
.\lr.  Roberts  was  thru  for  the  time  being. 

"Come  see  my  trees,"  he  invited. 
"Trees  are  a  hobby  of  mine  and  I  have 
a  few  rare  ones  in  the  yard." 

The  one  he  pointed  out  looked  like  a 
live  oak,  but  it  was  a  cork  tree,  he  told 
me.  My  idea  of  corks  has  always  been 
vague ;  I  rather  thought  they  grew  in 
bottles,  but  it  seems  not.  Mr.  Roberts  cut 
a  slice  of  the  bark  for  me,  and  it  was 
cork,  just  the  same  as  you'd  see  in  a 
bottle  of — er — catsup,  and  he  told  me 
that  he  could  have  made  a  fortune  off  his 
tree  in  pre-prohibition  days,  but  that  he 
had  bought  it  too  late.  Then  there  was  a 
"butterfly"  tree,  witli  flowers  of  flaming 
orange  and  leaves  that  looked  like  butter- 
fly wings  and  that  fold  together  at  night. 
They,  too,  are  very  rare,  and  will  not 
grow  where  there  is  frost ;  and.  Mr.  Rob- 
erts told  me,  impressively,  his  house  was 
just  two  blocks  beyond  the  frost  belt  in 
Hollywood — otherwise  he  couldn't  have 
a  butterfly-tree. 

When  he  had  shown  me  his  shrubbery, 
I  asked  iioint-hlank  how  many  other  hob- 
bies he  had,  and  he  laughed,  showing 
wlu'te  teeth  and  crinkly  wrinkles  around 
his  eyes. 

"Quite  a  few,"  he  confessed.  "In  the 
first  place,  there's  art — you  see,  I  come 
from  a  family  of  artists.  My  father 
painted  very  well  indeed,  and  so  does  my 
sister. '  I  was  told,  when  young,  by  a  fa- 
mous artist  that  I  ought  to  follow  that 
career,  but  I  inclined  towards  the  stage. 
However,  I  paint,  draw  and  'sculp,'  col- 
lect ])aintings  and  furniture  and — oh, 
yes,"  he  interrupted  himself  again  in  his 
abrupt  fashion,  "I  mustn't  forget  my 
hobby  of  correct  make-up — that  is  a  very 
important  one."  He  led  the  way  to  the 
Jajianese  gardens  and  we  sat  beside  the 
tiny  lily  pond  while  he  talked  about  this 
most  "im]iortant"  hobby  of  his. 

"I  have  always  given  tlic  most  careful 
study  to  making  up  for  a  character,"  he 
said.  "You  might  say  that  I  stop  at 
nothing  to  get  the  result  I  want.  I'm 
wearing  a  mustache  just  now,  hut  I  will 
shave  it  off  for  my  next  character  bit 
with  Mary  Miles  Minter  in  'Judy  of 
Rogue's  Harbor.'  I've  let  my  hair  get 
long  and  unkempt,  I've  allowed  my  beard 
to  grow — I  even  shaved  my  eyebrows

I  am  glad  to  commend  Ingram's 
Rouge,  for  it  is  of  daily  service  to 
me.  It  has  its  own  particular  spot

Rouge 

Pallor  places  almost  any  woman  at  a  disadvantage.  To  ap- 
pear at  her  very  best,  she  needs  a  finishing  touch  of  color;  a 
soft,  natural,  girlish  tint,  such  as  Ingram's  Rouge  imparts. 

Ingram's  Rouge  is  excellent  in  every  way,  and  unusual  in 
some  ways.  It  will  not  run;  it  will  not  streak;  it  is  not 
affected  by  perspiration;  nor  will  it  harm  the  skin,  for  its 
color  is  not  absorbed.  Prepared  in  daintily  scented  cakes, 
which  are  less  wasteful  than  loose  powder,  it  is  sold  in  three 
perfect  shades.  Light,  Medium  and  Dark.  Price  50  cents.

fact  that  he  takes  both  time  and  footage 
to  make  a  production  and  doesn't  iUu- 
mine  Broadway  with  the  name  of  any 
particular  twinkler." 

Rushing  to  the  defense  of  some  of  my 
friends  in  the  industry,  I  demanded  to 
know  just  why  Miss  Childers  is  "down 
on"  the  star  system.  And  thus  did  she 
elucidate. 

"Why  not  feature  the  story?  There  is 
no  story,  except,  perhaps,  that  of  Adam, 
that  was  ever  written  for  one  individual. 
A  lot  of  people  like  Norma  Talmadge  or 
Elsie  Fergtison  or  Clara  Kimball  Young, 
but  they  can  see  that  very  personality  in 
a  play  where  the  story's  the  thing — where 
they  wont  have  to  sit  thru  some  un- 
told million  close-ups  of  Miss  A's  gowns 
or  Mr.  B's  waxed  mustache." 

Tho  thruout  the  luncheon  Miss  Child- 
ers was  garbed  as  a  Russian  princess 
and  wore  a  black-net  evening  gown,  I 
had  seen  her  before  at  the  studio  in  the 
rags  of  a  screen  charwoman — her  fea- 
tures distorted  with  make-up. 

"Just  so  long  as  the  clothes  aren't  dir- 
ty, it's  all  right,"  she  explained. 

Once,  Miss  Childers  avers,  she  had 
hopes  of  being  a  fortune-teller  or  a  clair- 
voyant, but,  having  a  penchant  for  the 
luxuries  of  this  transitory  life  she  elected 
the  stage  as  a  profession. 

And  again,  she  would  have  been  a  stu- 
dent in  an  art  school  had  not  Fate  put  in 
an  oar.  As  it  is,  her  Hollywood  apart- 
ment is  replete  with  sketches  and  pastels 
bearing  her  signature  in  the  lower  right- 
hand  corner,  and  the  orchidaceous  lady 
will  confess  to  designing  all  of  her  own — - 
and  sometimes,  other  people's — gowns. 

It  was  just  before  she  was  to  register 
at  a  certain  academy  of  fine  arts  in  St. 
Louis  that  a  stage  manager,  who  met 
Miss  Childers  socially,  offered  to  cast  her 
as  Beauty  in  "Everywoman."  She  didn't 
take  the  part,  however,  because  she  was 
afraid  of  its  bigness,  but  rather,  became 
a  French  maid  in  another  production, 
and  retired  serenely  into  the  background. 

One  day  (and  this  is  the  manner  in 
which  she  reminisces) — she  found  herself 
becoming  ambitious,  and  burning  with  the 
fever  of  supposed  genius,  she  approached 
Henry  Kolker,  whose  French  maid  she 
was  in  "The  Great  Name,"  and  asked 
him  to  allow  her  to  make  a  spectacular 
entrance. 

At  the  suggestion  of  such  an  entrance 
Mr,  Kolker  was  observed  to  succumb  to 
gales  of  laughter,  and  finally  to  bid  the 
sixteen-year-old  Naomi  to  remain  content 
with  her  the  -  carriage  -  waits  -  without 
speech. 

During  the  last  week  of  "The  Great 
Name's"  run,  however,  the  actorine  who 
played  the  fat  German  cook  of  the  pro- 
duction, disappeared,  and  the  heroine  of 
"The  Spirit  in  the  Clay"  and  "Lord  and 
Lady  Alg)',"  hurriedly  became  a  corpu- 
lent frau  from  Hamburg.  She  with  her 
imperturbable  calm  and  her  tapering  fin- 
gers! 


.^nd,  even  tho  I  knew  that  the 
price  of  print  paper  is  ever  soaring  high- 
er, I  feel  called  upon  to  enumerate  the 
remainder  of  the  Childers' career.  Thusly. 
In  productions  of  Henry  W.  Savage  and 
H.  H.  Frazee,  followed  by  terms  with 
Vitagraph  in  "The  Writing  on  the  Wall," 
"The  Turn  of  the  Road,"  "The  Spirit  in 
the  Clay,"  "The  Devil's  Prize,"  et  al.; 
Metro  in  "The  Yellow  Dove"  and  "The 
Blindness  of  Love,"  in  which  she  was 
playing  with  Harold  Lockwood  when  he 
was  stricken  with  the  influenza  which 
caused  his  death ;  and  at  Goldwyn,  where 
she  created  on  the  screen  the  famous  Lady 
Algy  opposite  Tom  Moore,  and  appeared 
as  a  lady  passionately  loved  by  Lou-Tel- 
legen  in  "The  \\'orld  and  Its  Woman." 

"And  after  all  this,"  I  ventured,  "what 
do  you  crave?" 

"Oh,  three  pictures  a  year,"  she  an- 
swered, nonchalantly,  "a  house  at  New- 
port with  a  neat  collection  of  genuine 
paintings,  some  good-looking  gowns,  and 
large  quantities  of  French  novels." 

Exactly  what  I  thought.  Lots  of  mag- 
nificence. Orchids — Riverside  Drive  on 
Sunday  afternoon — the  front  box  at  the 
Metropolitan — Tiffany's  window  in  col- 
lision with  the  Empire  State  Express.

once.  Not  only  that,  but  I  give  close 
attention  to  grease-paint  and  putty.  I 
have  some  materials  on  my  dressing- 
table  at  the  studio  that  you  will  not  find 
elsewhere,  because  I  have  them  made  up 
especially  for  me.  When  I  am  assigned 
a  part,  I  immediately  begin  to  study  it. 
What  would  this  man  look  like  ?  Is  he  a 
grouch?  Very  well,  then,  hard  lines 
about  the  mouth  and  nostrils.  Is  he  a 
miser?  Close,  furtive  eyes,  then,  and 
thin  lips ;  an  open-hearted,  careless  old 
fellow,  he  must  have  ruddy  cheeks  and 
well-groomed  features. 

"The  other  day  I  was  made  up  as  an 
old  miner,  with  long  white  beard  and 
weather-beaten  countenance.  I  was  com- 
ing back  from  lunch  and  saw  a  group  of 
my  friends  outside  the  studio.  I  hailed 
them,  not  thinking  of  my  make-up,  and 
they  stared  at  me  blankly  for  an  instant. 
Then  they  burst  into  laughter  as  they  told 
me  how  one  of  them  had  just  remarked, 
as  I  approached.  'Look  at  that  old  fel- 
low— he's  a  wonderful  type — he  ought  to 
register  for  a  job !'  " 

All  of  which  is  interesting  comment 
upon  the  vividness  of  Roberts'  make-up. 

A  voice  from  the  house  told  "Theo- 
dore" that  lunch  was  ready,  and  I  rose  to 
go,  tho  hospitably  urged  to  remain.  But 
I  was  obdurate. 

"Your  hobbies  are  wonderful !"  I  told 
him,  as  he  accompanied  me  to  the  steps. 

"Yes,  I  collect  almost  everything,"  he 
laughed. 

"Except  collars,"  I  reminded  him, 
wickedly. 

"Yes,  except  collars !"  he  admitted, 
without  a  trace  of  shame. 


A  Perfect  Voice  Is  Priceless! 

Yours  can  be  made  perfect 

— ^The  Feuchtinger  Method 
of  Voice  Culture  will   do  it 


THINK  what  your  voice  means  to 
you — what  a  priceless  possession 
is  a  PERFECT  voice! 

For  singing,  public  speaking,  for  con- 
versation—the trained,  fully  cultivated 
voice  gives  any  man  or  woman  an  im- 
mense advantage  over  those  who  neglect  to 
improve  Nature's  best  gift. 

Any  Voice  Can  Be  Developed 

The  Feuchtinger  Method  of  Voice  Culture  will  de- 
velop the  most  ordinary  voice  into  a  thing  of  beauty— 
a  power  to  arouse  admiration  and  compel  success. 

This  method  is  an  absolute  science  of  voice  culture. 
It  develops  Nature's  own  sound  organ  by  proved  prin- 
ciples. It  is  the  science  of  tone-production,  tone- 
strength,  clearness  and  harmony.  Your  voice  can  be 
trained  by  it  to  great  power  and  beauty. 

Immediate  Results 

The  FEUCHTINGER  METHOD  is  a  PROVED  SUCCESS— it  has 
demonstrated  unfailing  results  in  countless  cases.  Your  voice  will 
receive  almost  immediate  benefits,  and  your  progress  to  perfection 
should  be  swift  and  sure. 

Mr.  Feuchtinger  has  received  letters  from  men  and  women  in 
all  walks  of  life,  telling  what  the  Power  of  the  Voice  has  been  to 
them  after  studying  this  unfailing  methoi.  Those  friendless  before 
taking  this  course  now  find  themselves  popular  wherever  they  go. 
Our  students  testify  that  a  fine  singing  and  speaking  voice  is 
responsible  for  unexpected  social  and  business  opportunities. 

No  Stuttering— No  Stammerln§f 
No  Lisping 

The  Feuchtinger  Method  banishes  ALL  impediments  of  speech — 
gives  perfect  command  of  muscles  and  vocal  cords.  Harshness, 
hoarseness,  huskiness  will  quickly  disappear. 

No  more  stuttering,  stammering  or  lisping!  All  these  business 
and  social  handicaps  are  quickly  and  permanently  removed  by  the 
Feuchtinger  Method  of  Voice  Culture. 

A  Few  Minutes  Silent  Daily 
Practice  in  Your  Own  Home 

Amazing  results  will  be  achieved  by  a  few  minutes' daily  study  of 
the  Feuchtinger  Method  in  the  privacy  of  your  own  home.  You 
need  not  know  music — the  practice  is  silent — nobody  will  even  know 
you  are  studying  this  method. 

As  you  progress  in  this  intensely  interesting  method,  you  experi- 
ence the  joy  of  increasing  power  that  springs  from  self-confidence 
and  the  conscious  development  of  vital  personality.

The  Kodak  Girl 

{Continued  from  page  37) 

the  second  serial.  I  was  supposed  to  be 
in  a  cave  with  this  beast  and,  while  there 
were  two  trainers,  and  outside  some  men 
with  iron  bars,  and  lights  were  placed  in 
front  of  the  camera  to  confuse  the  ani- 
mal, an  unexpected  danger  arose.  I  was 
waiting  for  them  to  get  it  all  ready  for 
action — was  sitting  with  a  bit  of  em- 
broidery in  the  back  of  the  cave.  They 
had  wire  fencing  between  the  camera- 
men and  the  lion,  and  the  trainer  was  , 
endeavoring  to  make  him  go  thru  cer-  j 
tain  tricks,  for  this  was  not  one  of  the  j 
old  Selig  lions  usually  hired  by  producing 
companies,  but  a  wild  one  which  proved 
to  be  very  stubborn  and  excited  to  boot. 
"Suddenly  there  was  a  roar— and  I 
just  looked  up  in  time  to  see  the  lion 
leaping.  Whatever  made  me  act  so 
quickly,  I  could  not  tell  you,  but  I  ducked 
and  put  my  head  between  my  knees,  and 
as  the  lion  took  the  entire  cave-length  in 
one  leap,  I  narrowly  escaped  having  my 
head  or  shoulders  badly  clawed.  Every- 
body was  so  frightened.  The  wire  sup- 
ports were  torn  down.  Mr.  Duncan  had  a 
piece  of  crooked  pipe  which  he  was  trying 
to  manipulate  to  keep  the  lion  back,  and 
finally  the  forest  king  made  one  big  jump 
over  a  high  obstruction  and  got  out,  fol- 
■  lowed  by  the  trainers,  who  finally  sub- 
dued him. 

"But  that  was  only  the  beginning  of  a 
bad  day.  I  was  supposed  to  face  a  snake 
as  soon  as  I  got  to  another  end  of  the 
cave.  For  some  reason,  as  I  was  led  to 
turn  around,  and  v/hile  the  men  were 
busy,  I  saw  this  snake  right  in  front  of 
me.  He  had  his  fangs,  for  the  man  who 
owned  him  said  he  was  the  only  one  of 
his  snakes  who  could  feed  himself  and 
he  refused  to  take  out  the  poison  sacs. 

"I  hardly  know  what  did  happen,  but 
Mr.  Duncan  was  shouting  orders  to  me, 
and  I  simply  obeyed  what  he  told  me  to 
do — and  somehow  he  managed  to  grasp 
that  hissing  serpent  by  the  neck,  as  he 
had  been  told  to  do  by  its  owner,  and  I 
escaped  snake-bite  from  a  mad  rattler. 
I  cant  see  anything  pleasant  in  acting 
with  animals,  but  I  dont  mind  being  sus- 
pended over  cliffs  or  rescued  from  al- 
most impossible  positions  ;  in  fact,  I  think 
serials  are  lots  of  fun,"  finished  Miss 
Johnson,  very  vivaciously. 

Miss  Johnson's  mother  and  her  brother, 
Donaldj  aged  seventeen,  live  with  her  in 
California.  She  is  determined  to  put 
Donald  thru  college  and  is  giving  him 
every  educational  advantage  even  now. 
At  present  the  little  family  is  merely 
"existing"  in  an  apartment,  while  house- 
hunting goes  on  merrily.  There  is  a 
shortage  in  dwellings  here,  and  Edith 
Johnson  thinks  she  will  be  forced  to  buy, 
as  "For  Rent"  signs  are  scarcer  than 
oranges  in  the  .Arctic  zone. 

But  meantime,  she  just  "loves"  house- 
work, and  when  the  housekeeper  goes 
out.  Edith  swirls  a  broom  happily  and 
says  it  the  best  sort  of  exercise.  Her 
greatest  sorrow  is  that  being  a  motion 
picture  actress  prevents  her  from  cook- 
ing and  cleaning.     She  loves  to  do  the 

(Seventy-eight)

tilings  many  other  women  despise,  thinks 
dishwashing  is  a  rare  treat  after  cavort- 
ing about  on  a  horse  all  day  and  just 
wishes  she  could  be  a  housewife. 

But  before  such  dreams  come  true,  if 
ever  they  do,  Edith  Johnson  is  to  do 
some  straight  dramas  with  William  Dun- 
can, for  the  Yitagraph  Company  has 
promised  to  give  the  star  and  his  lovely 
lady  an  opportunity  to  show  their  talents 
in  an  entirely  different  line  of  work  when 
they  are  thru  "Smashing  Barriers,"  in 
stories  probably  written  by  James  Oliver 
Curwood. 

Moore  o'  County  Meade 

{Continued  from  page  23) 

As  it  was,  he  said,  "No,  I  went  in  a 
mob  scene  in  'Parsifal.'  However,  my 
hfe-long  (not  so  long)  ambition  was 
realized — I  was  on  the  stage.  Owen 
was  with  me  this  time.  Yes,  he  ran 
away,  too,  the  same  time  that  I  did.  We 
earned  $5  a  week.  But  even  this  enor- 
mous sum  failed  to  appease  my  ambition 
and  I  got  a  chance  to  play  the  lead  with 
a  number  five  road  company  of  'Lena 
Rivers,'  I  think  it  was.  The  people 
wouldn't  come  to  see  us.  They  had  more 
sense  than  I  had.  But  anyway,  I  was 
stranded  in  a  small  Canadian  town. 
Were  you  ever  stranded  in  a  small  Cana- 
dian town  ?" 

"No,  but  we  have  been  stranded  in 
Troy,  with  a  number  five  company  of 
'Bluebird.'     It  isn't  any  fun,  is  it?" 

"Say,  do  3'ou  know,  I  stranded  so 
many  companies  that  season,  that  they 
wouldn't  take  me  in  any  more,  so  I  joined 
a  stock  company,  and  one  day  a  man 
from  the  Kalem  Company  offered  me  a 
job  to  work  in  moving  pictures.  I 
scorned  it — all  'legitimate'  actors  did 
then  ;  but  the  magnificent  salary  of  $40.50 
finally  tempted  me  and  I  fell.  I  was  only 
earning  $25  in  stock.  I  never  did  know 
what  the  50  cents  was  for." 

"It's  like  our  own  salary,"  we  an- 
swered. "For  five  years  there  has  been 
a  3  tacked  on  the  end  of  it  and  every  time 
we  get  a  ten-dollar  raise  the  $3  remains 
just  the  same.  The  next  time  we  shall 
ijeg  for  a  $7  raise  to  make  it  come  out 
even." 

"Well,  my  first  raise  was  $9.50.  At 
last,  my  ambition  was  realized.  I  was 
making  $50  a  week," 

"And  did  you  stay  in  pictures  then?" 
we  asked,  reckless,  now  that  we  had  our 
story. 

"Did  any  actor  from  the  stage  ever  go 
in  pictures  and  stay  in  them  at  first  ?  No, 
I  made  frequent  trips  into  stock,  but 
every  time  I  went  back  to  the  stage  my 
salary  was  cut  and  every  time  I  returned 
to  the  screen  it  was  boosted,  so  finally 
I  stayed." 

"And  now  you're  a  star!" 

"Yes,  and  that  is  the  only  thing  about 
the  whole  affair  that  surprises  me  up  to 
date.  How  did  I  get  to  be  a  star  ?"  And 
paraphrasing,  we  answered,  "The  fault, 
dear  Brutus,  is  in  ourselves  if  we  are 
not  stars.  You  earned  it,  that's  how. 
Or  if  you  dont  understand  it,  ask  Sam 
Goldwyn.    He  knows!"

FIGHT  FILM 

To  Save  Your  Teeth 


All  Stalemenls  Approved  by  High  Denial  Aulhorities 


Millions  of  germs  breed  in  it. 
They,  with  tartar,  are  the  chief 
cause  of  pyorrhea.  Also  of  many 
other  troubles. 

Dental  science,  after  years  of 
searching,  has  found  a  way  to  com- 
bat that  film.  Able  authorities 
have  proved  the  method  by  many 
careful  tests.  And  now,  after  years 
of  proving,  leading  dentists  all  over 
America  are  urging  its  daily  use. 

Now  Sent  for  Home  Tests 

For  home  use  this  method  is  em- 
bodied in  a  dentifrice  called  Pepso- 
dent.  And  a  10-Day  Tube  is  sent 
without  charge  to  anyone  who  asks. 

Pepsodent  is  based  on  pepsin,  the 
digestant  of  albumin.  The  film  is 
albuminous  matter.  The  object  of 
Pepsodent  is  to  dissolve  it,  then  to 
day  by  day  combat  it. 

The  way  seems  simple,  but  for 
long  pepsin  seemed  impossible.  It 
must  be  activated,  and  the  usual 
agent  is  an  acid  harmful  to  the 
teeth.  But  science  has  discovered  a 
harmless  activating  method.  And 
millions  of  teeth  are  now  cleaned 
daily  in  this  efficient  way. 

Let  a  ten-day  test  show  what  this 
new  way  means.  The  results  are 
important,  both  to  you  and  yours. 
Compare  them  with  results  of  old- 
time  methods  and  you  will  then 
know  what  is  best. 

Cut  out  the  coupon  now  so  you 
won't  forget. 


It  is  Film  that  Ruins  Them 

This  is  why  brushed  teeth  dis- 
color and  decay.  And  why  old 
methods  of  cleaning  have  proved 
so  inadequate. 

Your  teeth  are  covered  with  a 
slimy  film.  It  clings  to  them,  en- 
ters crevices  and  stays.  That  film 
is  the  cause  of  most  tooth  troubles. 

The  tooth  brush  does  not  end  it. 
The  ordinary  dentifrice  does  not 
dissolve  it.  So,  month  after  month, 
that  film  remains  and  may  do  a 
ceaseless  damage. 

That  film  is  what  discolors — not 
the  teeth.  It  is  the  basis  of  tartar. 
It  holds  food  substance  which  fer- 
ments and  forms  acid.  It  holds  the 
acid  in  contact  with  the  teeth  to 
cause  decay.

"Oh,  yes,"  he  said,  and  laughing  put  the 
cigaret  in  its  place  again. 

"I'm  a  great  believer  in  leaving  things 
to  chance ;  that  is.  little  things,"  he  re- 
marked. "I  never  have  a  good  time 
when  I  plan  on  it  very  far  ahead.  I've 
generally  found  that  the  best  way  for 
me  to  enjoy  myself  is  to  start  out  alone 
feeling  grumpy  and  dull.  Pretty  soon  I 
am  likely  to  meet  some  friend  who  feels 
very  much  the  same  way.  'Where  are 
you  going?'  he  asks  'Nowhere,'  I  an- 
swer. 'Suppose  we  go  together?'  he 
suggests,  and  the  result  is  one  glad 
time !" 

"And  the  big  things  in  life?" 
"Oh,  chance  usually  takes  care  of 
them,  anyhow.  How  many  people  in 
this  room  knew  where  they  were  going 
when  they  started  out,  do  you  think? 
Look  at  all  the  biggest  names  on  the 
screen ;  did  Chaplin  think  that  he  would 
be  great  for  his  comedy  when  all  of  his 
plans  w-ere  serious  ones?  And  Doug 
Fairbanks,  too ;  wasn't  it  chance  that 
showed  him  the  thing  he  could  do  best? 
I  believe  it  always  happens  like  that: 
You  start  out  to  do  one  thing  and  end 
up  by  doing  something  entirely  dif- 
ferent." 

Lew  Cody,  by  the  way,  had  to  be 
argued  into  playing  just  about  every 
good  part  he  ever  had.  He  did  not 
want  to  get  a  reputation  as  a  "heavy," 
which  goes  to  show  how  very  much 
there  is  in  a  name :  a  "heavy"  could 
hardly  hope  to  be  a  star,  while  a  "he 
vamp"  is  a  different  proposition.  He 
got  the  "he  vamp"  reputation  because 
of  his  part  in  "For  Husbands  Only." 

"Do  I  believe  in  marriage?"  he  re- 
peated my  question.  "Yes,  indeed  I  do 
— for  other  people.  I  think  that  it  is  a 
beautiful  institution.  But  the  vamp,  the 
human  butterfly  type,  either  in  man  or 
woman,  should  be  free,  as  free  as  pos- 
sible. They  simply  cant  rub  up  against 
the  little  troubles  of  everyday  life  and 
keep  the  gloss  on  their  wings.  They 
make  perfect  lovers,  but  impossible  hus- 
bands and  wives. 

"For  instance,"  he  went  on,  "take 
the  character  I  played  in  'Dont  Change 
Your  Husband.'  He  wasn't  insincere. 
On  the  contrary,  he  was  really  in  love 
and  he  didn't  make  love  to  the  woman 
in  her  husband's  house,  either.  In  fact, 
there  was  nothing  really  bad  about  him. 
He  was  just  weak  and  couldn't  stand 
up  against  everyday  things.  The  very 
sense  of  irresponsibility  that  made  him 
fall  in  love  made  him  fall  out  of  love 
again.  And  if,  by  some  miracle,  it  were 
possible  to  make  such  a  person  sober  and 
practical,  he  would  probably  lose  all  of 
his  charm  for  the  world." 

"You  think  that  people  admire  a  lit- 
tle wickedness  in  their  heroes?" 

"I  do,  indeed!  And  in  their  heroines, 
too,  so  long  as  it  isn't  ugly.  You  know 
the  admonition  of  a  French  mother  to 
her  child  is  never  'Be  good,'  but  always 
'Be  pretty.'  Wickedness,  in  the  strict 
meaning  of  the  word,  is  never  pretty,  so 


perhaps  it  would  be  more  correct  to 
say  that  what  people  want  is  humanity 
with  a  little  dash  of  fun,  so  that  they 
can  laugh  at  their  own  faults  and  at  the 
faults  of  others. 

"That  is  what  I  hope  to  do  with  my 
'vamp'  stuff :  I  never  want  to  lose  the 
light,  graceful  tone.  And  that  is  not 
easy." 

"Then  you  are  working  harder  than 
you  ever  did?" 

"N-n-o.  All  work  and  no  play  makes 
Jack  a  dull  boy;  I  hate  dull  people  and 
I'd  hate  to  hate  myself.  Anyhow — (he 
was  more  than  half  in  earnest) — I 
think  that  a  player  should  to  some  ex- 
tent, at  least,  live  the  character  he  is 
playing,  in  order  to  keep  in  the  spirit 
of  it.  So  I  ne\er  want  to  become  too 
serious." 


The  Broken  Melody 

(Contiimed  from  page  70) 

singing,   as   tho   the   spring  of   melody 

within  her  were  broken "  he  pointed 

at  the  door  across  the  hall,  "yonder  she 
grieves,  lad.    Go  to  her " 

And  Stuart  waited  no  longer,  but 
obeyed.  As  he  stood  upon  her  threshold 
the  girl  outflung  on  the  couch  sat  up, 
stared,  and  her  hands  crept  to  her  low 
girl  breast.  "It  isn't  you,  of  course,"  she 
said  in  a  small,  shaken  voice.  "It 
couldn't  be  you.  You  are  in  Paris,  you 
know." 

"It  is  I,  Hedda,"  Stuart  whispered,  for 
he  had  come  close  to  her  now,  and  his 
arms  were  around  her  hungrily.  "I  cant 
paint  pictures  without  you — I  cant  even 
live  without  you.  There's  just  one  thing 
that  matters  in  the  whole  world,  and 
that  is — will  you  let  me  stay,  sweet- 
heart ?" 

"But   your   work "   she   was   still 

afraid  to  believe  in  her  joy. 

"We  will  work  together,  Hedda," 
Stuart  told  her,  "you  are  my  work — 
you  complete  me.  And  perhaps — some 
day — if  I  work  well  enough,  Hedda,  you 
shall  have  your  jewels  after  all !" 

Her  face  was  lighted  with  a  solemn 
light.  She  seemed  to  be  looking  ahead, 
far  ahead  of  them— "Yes,  Paddie," 
Hedda  nodded  quietly,  "I  think — I  shall 
— have  my  jewels "

CLASSIC 

Idealist  and  Artist 

(Continued  from  page  35) 

In  1914,  Mr.  Tourneur  was  sent  to  this 
country  as  a  producer  for  the  Americnn 
branch  of  the  Eclair  Company. 

"Will  you  ever  make  another  'Blue 
Bird'  or  'Prunella'?  I  asked,  recalling 
those  exquisite  fabrics  of  dreams. 

"I  hope  so — some  day — I  hope  so !  You 
know,  dont  )0U,  that  they  were  not  what 
we  call  successful  ?  Oh,  I  would  be  will- 
ing to  suffer  poor  financial  returns  if  such 
beautiful  pictures  would  only  reach  the 
people,  but  they  dont,  for  they  think  they 
do  not  like  them. 

"I  left  painting  because  it  gave  me 
more  pain 'than  enjoyment.  So  much 
beauty  was  lost  between  the  brain,  which 
conceived  the  idea  of  the  picture,  and  the 
fingers  which  portrayed  it.  Just  so  in  mo- 
tion pictures,  some  day  I  will  leave  them 
because  they,  too,  are  painful.  So  much 
is  lost  in  every  picture.  I  find  a  story,  1 
am  enthusiastic.  Then,  there  is  a  little 
lost  in  making  the  script,  a  little  more  in 
acting,  a  little  in  the  photography,  a  little 
in  my  directing,  and  when  it  is  all  com- 
pleted it  is  not  the  beautiful  thing  1  had 
conceived.  Human  workmen  can  never 
come  up  to  the  mental  pictorial  perfec- 
tion." 

Presently  he  continued,  "Motion  pic- 
tures must  move  onward  to  the  place 
where  life  seen  thru  an  artist's  mind 
will  find  expression  on  the  screen.  Sug- 
gestion must  take  the  place  of  exact  de- 
lineation, impressionism  in  place  of  the 
literal  transcription,  alike  in  motive  and 
execution.  An  artist  looking  at  a  land- 
scape does  not  give  us  an  exact  repro- 
duction on  his  canvas,  for  instance,  such 
as  photography  affords,  but  he  repre- 
sents it  as  he  felt  and  saw  it." 

Suddenly  wheeling  around  in  his  chair, 
Mr.  Tourneur  pointed  to  a  picture  above 
his  desk,  "This  Whistler  canvas  does 
not  look  like  nature  nor  is  it  the  real 
thing,  but  it  gives  the  impression  of  low 
tide,  twilight  depths,  shadows  cast  by 
the  old  bridge  across  the  Thaines.  It  is 
as  it  looked  to  Whistler.  The  reality 
passed  thru  the  artist's  mind  and  he 
gives  us  the  picture  as  it  impressed  him  " 

Earnestly,  he  continued.  "One  might 
look  at  this  chair  in  many  ways.  Were  I 
weary  it  would  suggest  a  haven  of  rest, 
but  were  I  searching  for  art,  it  would 
be  an  object  of  conteiupt.  So  all  of  life 
and  its  action  can  be  looked  at  from 
various  angles,  and  the  picture  director 
must  be  an  idealist  and  an  artist." 

"The  function  of  the  film  today?"  I 
prompted,  speaking  .softly,  for  the  late 
afternoon  stillness  had  crept  into  the 
room  while  we  talked. 

"Motion  pictures  must  always  have  a 
theme  that  will  make  the  audience  laugh 
or  cry ;  it  may  be  comedy  or  drama,  but 
it  must  never  bore!" 

Like  all  great  idealists,  Maurice  Tour- 
neur feels  the  magic  waves  of  discontent 
that  spurs  the  artist  on  to  greater  tasks. 
Following  his  own  visions,  he  longs  to 
share  them  with  the  whole  world — if  it 
will  but  see!

Food  Up  85% 

So  statistics  show  at  this  writing,  compared  with  pre-war  cost.     That's 
the  average  on  common  foods. 

On  this  account,  about  9  in  10  arc  underfed.     .So  states  a  Chicago  Board 
of  Health  authority. 

That  is,  most  men  don't  get  what  men  must  have  —  3,000  calories  of  nutri- 
ment per  day.     So  the  facts  here  stated  are  of  paramount  importance. 

One  Cent  Per  Dish 

Buys  the  Supreme  Food — Quaker  Oats 


Quaker  Oats  is  prepared  .from  the 
Rreatest  food  that  grows. 

It  is  almost  a  complete  food — nearly 
the  ideal  food.  In  energy  units  it  yields 
1810  calories  per  pound,  while  round 
steak   yields    890. 

Yet  Quaker  Oats  costs  one  cent  per 
big  dish.  A  whole  dish  costs  you  no 
more  than  a  bite  of  meat. 

Saves  You  88  ?S 

Foods  are  compared  by  calories,  the 
energy  measure  of  food  value.  A  man 
must  have  at  least  3,000  calories  per 
day,  a  boy  at  least  2,000. 


At  this  writing,  some  necessary  foods 
cost  as  follows  on  this  basis: 


Cost  Per  1000  Calories 

Quaker  Oats Sy^c 

Average    Meats 45c 

Eggs  about 70c 

Average   Fish 50c 

Vegetables He  to  75c 


So  Quaker  Oats,  per  1,000  calories, 
costs  you  88  per  cent  less  than  meats, 
eggs  and  fish  on  the  average. 

Let  Quaker  Oats  cut  down  your 
breakfast  cost.  Serve  the  costlier  foods 
at    dinner. 


With  That  Matchless  Flavor 


When  you  buy  oats  get  Quaker  Oats 
for  their  exquisite  flavor.  They  are 
flaked   from   queen  grains  only — just  the 


rich,  plump,  flavory  oats.  We  get  but  ten 
pounds  from  a  bushel.  Don't  miss  this 
extra  flavor  when  it  costs  no  extra  price.

Betty  Blythe:  The  Peacock 
Princess 

{Continued  from  page  21) 

friends.  Well,  the  minute  tlie  director 
saw  me,  he  asked  what  I  could  do. 
Knowing-  that  my  very  meals  depended 
on  my  answer,  I  repHed,  airily,  'Oh,  any- 
thing!' just  as  if  I  knew  all  about  acting 
before  the  camera,  and  because  he  needed 
my  t}pe  he  put  me  to  work  right  away 
with  Harry  Morey  in  'His  Own  People.' 
Isn't  it  funny  how  things  work  out  ?  Here 
I  had  lived  in  Los  Angeles,  the  very 
heart  of  motion  pictures,  but  had  scorned 
them  as  a  career." 

After  playing  with  Harry  Morey  in  a 
number  of  pictures,  and  also  with  Earle 
Williams,  she  did  a  couple  of  O.  Henry 
stories,  then  went  with  Guy  Empey  where 
as  Madame  Arnot,  in  "Over  the  Top," 
she  did  such  excellent  work  that  she  at- 
tracted the  attention  of  all  lovers  of  the 
screen. 

"It  was  a  great  role,"  Miss  Blythe  de- 
clared, enthusiastically,  "I  felt  I  had 
created  something  really  worth  while. 
To  me,  Madame  Arnot  was  symbolical  of 
the  women  of  France  during  the  war,  of 
their  nobility  in  suffering  and  sacrificing 
everything  for  their  beloved  cause.  I  al- 
so made  'The  Undercurrent,'  with  Mr. 
Empey. 

"The  greatest  thrill  of  my  life  cameone 
morning  when  the  New  York  Telegraph 
had  a  full  page  picture  of  me.  There  it 
was  staring  up  from  every  newsstand 
and  street  corner.  Can  you  imagine  what 
that  meant  to  me  after  all  my  disappoint- 
ments ? 

"Now  that  they  are  over,  I'm  glad  to 
have  had  them.  We  gain  very  little 
except  thru  struggle.  All  history 
teaches  that  every  step  of  advancement 
is  the  result  of  turmoil.  I  often  wonder 
what  upheaval  accounted  for  Schubert's 
glorious  melodies." 

Betty  Blythe  had  some  serious  ambi- 
tions for  her  future  on  the  screen.  Pos- 
sessing a  striking  beauty  and  being  able 
10  wear  her  clothes  to  splendid  advantage 
lias  caused  her  to  be  cast  in  many  society 
rules.  Not  caring  for  this  type  in  real 
life  she  finds  it  hard  to  visualize  her  on 
the  screen  and  hopes  to  have  the  oppoi'- 
tunity  of  portraying  the  real  woman,  the 
one  who  stands  for  the  best  in  all 
womanly  qualities. 

"Careers  are  all  very  well,"  I  re- 
marked, glancing  at  the  various  mascu- 
line photographs  adorning  Betty's  bou- 
doir, "but  suppose  love  should  come." 

"I  want  it  to  come !"  came  the  quick 
response.  "I've  reached  the  point  where 
I  long  for  a  home  and  a  more  unselfish 
lite,"  and  a  new  warmth  crept  into  the 
large,  dark  e)'es  as  they  lingered  on  one 
picture. 

Betty  laughed.  "Let's  go  and  have  an 
ice  cream  soda!"  she  said. 


TnoRNi.Ess  Rose. — What  did  you  do  with 
the  thorns?  Thanks  for  your  pood  advice 
about  not  marrying  so  the  girl  will  get  all  my 
money.  I'll  take  good  care  of  that.  You're 
rlRlit  ahout  Pearl  White.  If  we  cant  make 
money  honestly,  let's  make  it  as  honestly  as 
we  can.

CLASSIC 

The  Silken  Gloria 

(Co)itinued  from  page  17) 

up  against  the  subject  of  marriage  and 
divorce,  tliose  Gold  Dust  twins  of  dis- 
cussion. 

Miss  Swanson  believes  thoroly  in  mar- 
riage. Indeed,  we  strongly  suspect  she 
is  about  to  try  the  problem  personally. 

"One  of  the  biggest  fallacies  of  mar- 
riage," philosophized  Miss  Swanson,  "is 
the  idea  that  a  couple  should  be  of  op- 
posite temperaments.  In  reality,  they 
must  have  similar  interests,  desires  and 
hopes. 

"Ea«h  must  give  and  take. 

"There  must  be  a  basis  of  companion- 
ship when  the  glamor  begins  to  wear 
thin. 

"Each  must  allow  the  other  plenty  of 
leeway. 

"Those  are  my  ideas  today.  Of  course, 
I  revise  my  ideas  daily.  Indeed,  I  might 
have  entirely  different  ones  if  you  inter- 
viewed me  tomorrow.  You  never  can 
tell  about  me,"  admitted  Miss  Swanson. 

All  of  which  goes  to  prove  that  she  is 
typically  feminine  above  all  else — femi- 
nine from  the  tips  of  her  dainty  slippers 
to  the  glistening  hat  setting  at  just  the 
proper  angle  of  effectiveness.  Woman  is 
woman — and  Gloria  is  Gloria. 


MINSTREL'S  LAY 
By  Walter  E.  Mair 


Sing  mc  a  song  of  the  high  road. 

And  the  best  road  to  go. 
From  the  town  with  its  empty  laughter 

To  the  land  that  I  used  to  know; 
To  the  land  full  of  sun,  where  the  meadow- 
lark's  call 
Like  to  silver-sweet  rain  on  my  heart  used 
to  fall. 

Sing  me  a  song  of  the  far  road, 

And  the  road  fair  to  see, 
From  the  place  of  unending  striving 
To  the  haunts  of  the  droning  bee; 
To  the  vale  where  the  autumn  gold  gleams  in 
the  sun. 
And    the    twilight    brings    peace    when    the 
day's  work  is  done. 

Sing  me  a  song  of  the  old  road. 

And  the  one  road  I  know, 
Where  every  traveler's  a  comrade, 

And  the  goal  of  his  path  is  the  glow 
Of   home-keeping  hearts   that   are  waiting   to 
give 
Their   love  to   his   longing,   to   help   him    to 
live! 

Aye,  sing  me  a  song  of  the  high  road. 
And  the  best  road  to  go. 


HIS  HERO 
By  Minna  Irving 

Our  Buddy-boy  is  ten  years  old. 

His  hero  used  to  be 
A  private  w-ith  a  big  black  flag 

Who  sailed  the  stormy  sea, 
And  made  his  captives  walk  the  plank. 

And  scuttled  ships,  I  trow. 
But  Buddy's  changed  ideals — it 

Is  Charlie  Chaplin  now. 

He  thought  a  bold  bad  bandit's  life 

Was  something  very  fine ; 
I  took  him  to  a  movie  show — 

This  little  chap  of  mine. 
With  smudges  on  his  tiny  lip, 

A  derby  o'er  his  brow. 
He  imitates  his  hero — it 

Is  Charlie  Chaplin  now.

anybody  can  tell  a  story.  Why  can't  'most  any- 
body write  a  story?  Why  is  writing  supposed 
lo  be  a  rare  gift  that  few  possess?  Isn't  this 
only  another  of  the  Mistaken  Ideas  the  past  has 
handed  down  to  us?  Yesterday  nobody  dreamed 
man  could  ^y.  To-day  he  dives  like  a  swallow 
ten  thousand  feet  above  the  earth  and  laughs 
down  at  the  tiny  mortal  atoms  of  his  fellow- 
men  below !  So  Yesterday's  "impossibility"  is  a 
reality  to-day. 

"The  time  will  come,"  writes  the  same  au- 
thority, "when  millions  of  people  will  be 
writers — there  will  be  countless  thousands  of 
playwrights,  novelists,  scenario,  magazine  and 
newspaper  writers — they  are  coming,  coming 
— a  whole  new  world  of  them!"  And  do  you 
know  what  these  writcrs-to-be  arc  doing  now? 
Why,  they  are  the  men — armies  of  them — 
ycung  and  old,  now  doing  mere  clerical  work, 
in  ofilices,  keeping  books,  selling  merchandise, 
or  even  driving  trucks,  running  elevators, 
street  cars,  waiting  on  tables,  working  at  bar- 
ber chairs,  following  the  plow,  or  teaching 
schools  in  the  rural  districts;  and  women, 
young  and  old,  by  scores,  now  pounding  type- 
writers, or  standing  behind  counters,  or  run- 
ning spindles  in  factories,  bending  over  sewing 
machines,  or  doing  housework.  Yes  —  you 
may  laugh — but  these  are  the  Writers  of  To- 
morrow. 

For  writing  isn't  only  for  geniuses  as  most  people  think. 
Don't  you  believe  the  creator  gave  yoti  a  story -writing 
faculty  just  as  he  did  the  greatest  u*ritcrT  Only  maybe 
you  are  simply  "bluffed"  by  the  thought  that  you  "haven't 
the  gift,"  many  people  arc  simply  afraid  to  try.  Or  if 
they  do  try,  and  their  first  efforts  don't  satisfy,  they  simply 
give  up  in  despair,  and  that  ends  it.  They're  through. 
Thfy  never  try  again.  Yet  if,  by  some  lucky  chance,  they 
had  first  learned  the  Bimple  rules  of  writing,  and  then 
given  the  Imagination  free  rein  they  might  have  astonished 
the  world! 

But  two  things  are  essential  in  order  to  become  a  writer. 
First,  to  learn  the  ordinary  principles  of  writing.  Second, 
to  learn  to  exercise  your  faculty  of  Thinking.  By  exer- 
cising a  thing  you  develop  it.  Your  Imagination  is  some- 
thing like  your  right  arm.  The  more  you  use  it  the 
stronger  it  gets.  The  principles  of  writing  are  no  more 
complex  than  the  principles  of  spelling.  arithmetiC(  or 
any  other  simple  thing  that  anybody  knows.  Writers 
learn  to  piece  together  a  story  as  easily  as  a  child  sets 
up  a  miniature  house  with  his  toy  blocks.  It  is  amazingly 
easy  after  the  mind  grasps  the  simple  "know  how."  A 
little  study,  a  little  patience,  a  little  confidence,  and  the 
thing  that  looks  hard 
turns  out  to  be  just  as 
easy  as  it  seemed  difHcult. 
Thousands  of  people 
imagine  they  need  a  fine 
education  in  order  to 
write.  Nothing  is  farther 
from  the  truth.  The 
greatest  writers  were  the 
poorest  scholars.  People 
rarely  learn  to  write  at 
schools.  They  may  get 
the  principles  there,  but 
they  really  learn  to  write 
from  the  great,  wide, 
open,  boundless  Book 
of  Humanity!  Yes, 
seething  all  around  you, 
every  day.  every  hour, 
every  minute,  in  the 
whirling  vortex  —  the 
flotsam  and  jetsam  of 
Life  —  even  in  your  own 
home,  at  work  or  play, 
are  endless  incidents  for 
stories  and  plays  —  a 
wealth  of  material,  a 
world  of  things  happen- 
ing. Every  one  of  these 
has  the  seed  of  a  story 
or  play  in  it.  Think!  If 
you  went  to  a  fire,  or 
saw  an  accident,  you 
could  come  home  and 
tell  the  folks  a  1  I  about 
it.  Unconsciously  you 
would  describe  it  all 
very  realistically.  And 
if  somebody  stood  by 
and  wrote  down  exactly 
what  you  said,  you'd  be 
amazed  to  find  your 
story  would  sound  jus;

New  Method  Makes  Music

Simple  as  A  B  C 

TRY  IT  ON  APPROVAL

and  Nothing  Unless  Satisfied 
How  often  have  you  wished  that  you  knew  how 
to  play  the  violin  or  piano — or  whatever  your 
favorite  instrument  may  be— or  that  you  could 
take  part  in  singing? 
\  j  How  many  an  evening's 
;^^\';  pleasure  has  been  utterly 
C  spoiled  and  ruined  by  the  ad- 
mission "I  can't  sing,"  or 
"No,  I  am  sorry, 
but  I  can't  play." 
And  no  w — at 
■N  last — this  pleasure 
^  a  n  d  satisfaction

'^'"        'often    wished    for 
can  easily  be  added  to  your  daily  life. 

Ko  need  to  join  a  class.  No  need  to 
pay  a  dollar  or  more  per  lesson  to  a 
private  teacher.  Neither  the  question  of  time  nor 
expense  is  any  jongcr  a  bar^ — rvcry  one  of  the  ob- 
stacles that  have  ocen  confining  your  enjoyment 
to  mere  listening  have  now  been  removed. 

My  method  of  teaching  music  by  mail — in  your 
spare  time  at  home,  with  no  strangers  around  to 
embarrass  you — makes  it  amazingly  easy  to  learn 
to  sing  by  note  or  to  play  any  instrument. 

You  don*t  need  to  know  the  first  thing  about 
music  to  begin- — don't  need  to  know  one  note 
from  another.  My  method  takes  out  all  the  hard 
part— overcomes  all  the  difliculties — makes  your 
progress  easy,  rapid  and  sure.

my  method  is  a  revolutionary  improvement  over 
the  old  methods  used  by  private  teachers.  The 
lessons  I  send  you  explain  every  point  and  show 
every  step  in  simple  Print-and-Picture  form  that 
you  can't  go  wrong  on — every  step  is  made  as 
clear  as  A  B  C. 

My  method  is  as  thorough  as  it  is  easy.  I  teach 
you  the  only  right  way — teach  you  to  play  or  sing 
by  note.  No  "trick"  music,  no  "numbers,"  no 
makeshifts  of  any  kind. 

I  call  my  method  "new" — simply  because  it  is  so  radi- 
cally different  from  the  old  and  hard-to-understand  ways 
of  teaching  music.  But  my  method  is  thoroughly  time 
tried  and  proven.  Over  225,000  successful  pupils — from 
boys  and  girls  of  7  to  8  to  men  and  women  of  70 — are 
the  proof.  Largely  through  the  recommen- 
dations of  satisfied  pupils.  I  have  built  up 
Ahe    largest   school  of  music  in   the  world. 

To  prove  what  I  say,  you  can  take  any 
course  on  trial — singing  or  any  instrument 
you  prefer — and  judge  entirely  by  your  own 
I^rogress.  If  for  any  reason  you  are  not 
satisfied  with  the  course  or  with  what 
you  learn  from  it,  then  it  won't  cost 
you  a  single  penny.  I  guarantee  satisfac- 
tion. On  the  other  hand,  if  you  are  pleased 
with  the  course,  the  total  cost  amounts  to 
only  a  few  cents  a  lesson,  with  your  music 
and  everything  also  included.  When  learn- 
inp  to  plfiy  or  sing  Is  so  ea<g',  why  continuo  to  confine  your  en-

MOTION  PICTURE 

Understudying  Mary 

{Continued  from  page  38) 

girls  would  'go  mad'  over.  I  also  recog- 
nized the  great  opportunity  it  offered  to 
further  my  knowledge  of  the  dramatic 
art  and  it  was  with  the  happiest  little 
thrill,  that  I  signed  my  name  to  the  con- 
tract. 

"That  little  thrill  of  happiness,"  states 
Miss  Du  Pre,  "has  constantly  grown  in 
intensity  because  the  work  with  Miss 
Pickford  has  been  glorious.  I  have 
learnt  more  about  the  ways  of  children 
from  Miss  Pickford,  in  watching  her 
portray  them  and  in  emulating  her  por- 
trayals, than  I  ever  could  have  learnt  in 
a  lifetime  from  watching  real  children  in 
real  life." 

Speaking  of  her  remarkable  similarity 
to  Miss  Pickford,  Miss  Du  Pre  said: 
"Our  resemblance  is  almost  uncanny. 
Not  only  in  general  outward  appearance 
but  in  most  every  detail  of  form  and  fig- 
ure. One  day  Miss  Pickford  and  I  stood 
before  a  mirror  and  made  minute  com- 
parisons. We  compared  our  height,  the 
length  and  shape  of  our  arms,  legs  and 
feet,  and  all  of  our  measurements  are 
identical.  There  is  a  difference  in  cer- 
tain small  lines  and  in  certain  lights,  but 
they  are  of  little  moment  and  I  guess  that 
I  am,  as  I  have  been  so  often  told.  Miss 
Pickford's  'double'  in  real  life  as  well  as 
professionally." 

Even  without  make-up  and  the  char- 
acteristic curls.  Miss  Du  Pre's  resem- 
blance is  remarkable  and  when  made  up 
and  dressed  as  Miss  Pickford,  the  illusion 
is  astounding.  So  much  so,  in  fact,  that 
on  the  first  day  that  the  cast  was  called 
for  a  dress  rehearsal  of  "Pollyanna"  and 
before  Miss  Du  Pre  had  been  officially  in- 
troduced to  all  of  Miss  Pickford's  com- 
pany, a  lady  appeared  on  the  "set"  and 
placing  her  arms  about  Miss  Du  Pre's 
shoulders,  started  to  discuss  a  private 
Pickford  matter.  When  Miss  Du  Pre 
halted  the  speaker  and  referred  her  to  the 
real  Miss  Pickford,  the  lady  stepped  back 
confused  and  wild-eyed,  and  then  stam- 
mered in  her  amazement.  "Why!"  she 
gasped,  "Mar}'  and  I  are  cousins,  I  have 
lived  with  her  constantly'  for  the  past  ten 
years — and  I  thought  you  were  she." 
Then  the  speaker.  Miss  Benson,  rubbed 
her  eves  and  just  stared — first  at  Miss  Du 
Pre  and  then  at  Miss  Pickford,  who  sat  a 
few  feet  away  laughing  at  her  cousin's 
confusion. 

With  "two"  Mary  Pickfords  at  the  stu- 
dio, things  began  to  happen  even  before 
the  production  of  "Pollyanna"  was  actu- 
ally started.  The  first  incident  occurred 
on  the  very  first  day  of  her  engagement 
and  it  reminded  Miss  Du  Pre  of  the  story 
of  "The  Prince  and  the  Pauper." 

She  had  been  called  to  the  pretty  little 
bungalow,  that  Miss  Pickford  uses  as  a 
dressing-room,  for  the  purpose  of  trying 
on  Miss  Pickford's  clothes  and  there  with 
the  shades  drawn,  she  arrayed  herself  in 
the  wardrobe  of  the  star,  as  Miss  Pick- 
ford, disrobing  in  the  bathroom,  handed 
eacli  garment  thru  the  partly  opened 
door. 

When  fully  dressed,  even  to  stockings 


CLASSIC 

and  shoes,  the  shades  were  lifted  and 
star  and  understudy  stood  marveling  at 
the  perfect  fit. 

At  that  moment,  Paul  Powell,  Miss 
Pickford's  director,  passed  by  the  bunga- 
low and  seeing  thru  the  open  window 
what  he  supposed  to  be  the  person  of  his 
star,  he  stopped  and  called  in — "Good 
morning,  Miss  Pickford" — The  startled 
look  of  amazement  that  spread  over  the 
director's  face,  as  his  greeting  was 
answered — from  the  depths  of  the  bath- 
room— and  not  from  the  person  before 
him,  was  a  comical  but  eloquent  compli- 
ment to  Miss  Pickford's  selection  of  an 
understudy. 

Then  the  thought  came  to  Miss  Du 
Pre,  that  here  in  real  life  was  the  theme 
of  "The  Prince  and  the  Pauper,"  staged 
in  a  bungalow  instead  of  a  palace,  but 
just  as  alluring  in  its  fanciful  possibili- 
ties. Dressed  in  these  "magic"  clothes 
and  standing  in  the  lucky  shoes  of  the 
great  star,  she  seemed  enchanted  and  in 
imagination  she  conjured  the  adventure 
that  would  befall  them,  if  she  retained 
the  wardrobe  and  assumed  the  identity 
of  the  famous  star,  and  Miss  Pickford 
went  off  into  the  world  carrying  the  rai- 
ment and  the  name  of  her  newly  acquired 
understudy. 

After  this  incidents  of  mistaken  iden- 
tity followed  thick  and  fast.  Each  day 
had  its  complement  of  humorous  situa- 
tions. Visitors  to  the  studio  approached 
Miss  Du  Pre  with  expressions  of  pleasure 
at  the  supposed  honor  of  meeting  "the 
star" — and  on  "locations"  in  and  about 
Los  Angeles,  where  the  exterior  scenes 
were  made,  spectators  bowed  and  spoke 
to  her,  fully  confident  that  they  were  ad- 
dressing Miss  Pickford. 

Out  in  the  little  town  of  Norwalk,  Cali- 
fornia, where  several  scenes  were  made. 
Miss  Du  Pre  arrived  in  her  car  consider- 
ably ahead  of  Miss  Pickford — and  as  she 
waited,  a  crowd  of  several  hundred  chil- 
dren gathered  and  stood  wide-eyed — as 
they  nudged  each  other  and  whispered — 
"That's  Mary  Pickford."  Then  several 
of  them  got  together,  held  a  whispered 
conference  and  scampered  off.  Soon 
they  returned  carrying  an  old  and  badly 
soiled  candy  box  containing  some  candy, 
purchased  by  their  contribution  of  sev- 
eral cents,  and  this  they  presented  to  Miss 
Du  Pre  with  the  statement :  "Please  take 
this.  Miss  Pickford,  because  we  like 
you." 

The  incident  was  "so  cute"  and  "so 
pathetically  sincere,"  said  Miss  Du  Pre, 
that  she  refrained  from  disillusioning  the 
children  and  was  greatly  relieved  when 
they  went  off  to  school  before  the  arrival 
of  Miss  Pickford. 

Even  the  old  station  master  at  the 
Santa  Fe  Depot  at  South  Pasadena 
came  in  for  his  share  of  wonderment. 
This  venerable  railroader,  who  has  stu- 
died the  faces  of  hosts  of  travelers,  was 
nonplussed.  A  scene  was  made  on  the 
station  platform  and  while  waiting  for 
things  to  be  made  ready,  Miss  Pickford 
and  her  understudy  perched  themselves 
on  a  big  shipping  case  and  sat  there  in 
animated  conversation.

You  Can't  Teach  Piano  by 

Correspondence,  Dr.  Quinn 


Many  people  told  me  this,  when  I  first  started 
OVER  TWENTY-FIVE  YEARS  AGO. 

But  now,  after  more  than  a  quarter  century  of 
steady  growth,  and  with  my  successful  graduates 
scattered  all  over  the  world,  this  "old-fogy"  prejudice 
against  learning  by  mail  has  nearly  vanished. 

I  now   have   far  more   students  than  were  ever  before 

taught  by  one  man.    There  isn't  a  State  in  the  Union  that 

doesn't    contain    a    score    or   more    skilled    players    of 

piano  or  organ  who  obtained  their  i-iitirc  training  from 

me.      "They    learned    m    quarter    the    usual    time   and   at 

quarter  the  usual  cost.     I  will  gladly  refer  you  to  any 

number  who  will  soon  convince  you 

^^^==1=^  of  the  excellent  resuUs  they  gained 

^^^r^^JP   i    from  my  instruction.    My  free  book- 

W^^^KK      '    1^'.  "How  to  Learn  Piano  or  Organ," 

^^BHL    jj    will    interest   and    inform   you.      But 

'■^(■Pl^i.ij    don't  send  for  it  it  you're  afraid  of 

J'-.^^^^        -^    Icing  convinced. 

My  way  of  teaching  piano  or  organ 
is  entirely  different  from  all  others. 
Out  of  every  four  hours  of  study, 
one  hour  is  spent  entirely  azvay  from 
llie  keyboard  —  learning  something 
about  tfarmony  and  The  Laws  of 
Music.  This  is  an  awful  shock  to 
most  teachers  of  the  "old  school," 
who  still  think  that  learning  piano  is 
solely  a  problem  of  finger  gj'mnastics. 
When  you  do  go  to  the  keyboard, 
you  accomplish  twice  as  much,  be- 
cause you  uyiderstand  what  you.  are 
doing.  Within  four  lessons  I  enable 
you  to  play  an  interesting  piece  not 
only  in  the  original  key,  but  in  all 
other  keys  as  well. 

I  make  use  of  every  possible  scien- 
tific help — many  of  which  are  entirely 
unknown  to  the  average  teacher.  My 
patented  invention,  the  COLORO- 
TONE,  sweeps  away  playing  difficul- 
ties that  have  troubled  students  for 
generations.  By  its  use,  Transposi- 
tion—usually a  "night-mare"  to  stu- 
dents— becomes  easy  and  fascinating. 
AVith  my  fifth  lesson  I  introduce  an- 
other important  and  exclusive  inven- 
tion, QUINN-DEX.  Quinn-Dex  is  a 
simple  hand-operated  moving  picture 
device,  which  enables  you  to  see. 
right  before  your  eyes,  every  move- 
ment of  my  hands  at  the  keyboard. 
You  actually  see  the  fingers  move. 
Instead  of  having  to  reproduce  your 
teacher's  finger  movements  from 
MEMORY — which  cannot  be  always 
accurate — you  have  the  correct  mod- 
els before  you  during  every  minute 
of  practice.  The  COLOROTONE 
and  QUINN-DEX  save  you  months 
and  years  of  wasted  effort.  They  can

AWTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC 


She  Loves  and  Lies 

{Continued  from  page  33) 


"Married !"  Bob  was  plainly  hurt. 
"My  Gawd,  Marie,  how'd  it  happen? 
You  know  I  always  sort  of  meant  to 
marry'  you  m3'self.  Who's  the  lucky 
stiff  that  came  under  the  wire  ahead  ?  Is 
it  Ted  O'Keefe,  that  used  to  do  the  song- 
and-dance  with  you,  or  Rufus?" 

Marie  saw  that  she  had  said  consid- 
erably more  than  enough.  She  changed 
the  subject  to  vaudeville  again,  and  Bob, 
knowing  that  matrimony  is  a  dangerous 
and  sore  subject  with  most  of  its  vic- 
tims, considerately  did  not  follow  it  up. 
But  he  did  not  forget.  And  when,  the 
very  next  afternoon,  he  pushed  open  the 
door  of  Polly's  studio  and  therein  beheld 
Marie  and  a  handsome  young  fellow  in 
close  juxtaposition  before  an  easel  upon 
which  stood  a  painting  which  in  nowise 
seemed  to  justify  their  interest,  and 
when,  moreover,  he  saw  Marie  lean  for- 
ward and  just  brush  the  hair  of  the 
handsome  young  fellow  with  a  kiss,  and 
when,  lastly  and  likewise,  he  had  seen  the 
young  fellow  turn  ardently  and  seize  her 
hand  and  draw  her  down  to  him,  he 
leaped  to  a  naive  conclusion. 

"Give  us  a  knockdown  to  your  hubby, 
Marie!"  he  demanded,  jovially,  and  then, 
to  the  purpling  Ernest,  "I'd  ought  to  be 
sore  at  you,  Bo,  but  take  it  from  me, 
you've  picked  a  peach !  When  Marie 
told  me  yesterday  that  she  was  married, 
believe  me,  it  give  lil'  ol'  John  W.  Me  a 
jolt  right  where  he  lived,  but  I " 

Then  he  paused,  for  the  first  time 
realizing  the  chill  and  rarefied  atmos- 
phere of  silence  that  surrounded  him. 
Marie's  face  was  scarlet,  Ernest's  very 
white.  Bob  was  not  subtle,  but  some- 
thing seemed  to  whisper  to  him  that  he 
had  blundered. 

He  took  his  exit  as  gracefully  as  pos- 
sible, leaving  two  who  regarded  one 
another  coldly.  "And  so,"  said  Ernest, 
rather  tremendously,  "and  so  you,  a  mar- 
ried woman,  have  allowed  another  man 
to  make  love  to  you  I" 

Marie  blazed  forth  at  this.  "And  you," 
she  asked,  "had  you  the  right  to  inake 
love  to  me?  Why,  for  all  that  I  know, 
you  may  be  married,  too !" 

He  wilted  like  a  punctured  balloon,  all 
his  rage  oozing  from  him.  He  stam- 
mered piteously,  but  she  was  merciless. 
Writhing,  he  confessed.  "I've  been  a 
brute — a  cad  I  Why  did  I  ever  come  to 
this  accursed  part  of  town,  where  people 
wear  loose  clothes  and  loose  morals  ? 
i\nd  she's  so  sweet — so  good " 

Marie  thrust  her  vivid  young  face 
close,  daring  him.  The  fragrance  of  her 
was  warm  in  his  nostrils,  the  golden 
gleams  dazzled  his  eyes.  "Tell  me,"  she 
whispered,  "is  she  young — and  pretty? 
Look  at  me,  Ernest — and  tell  me." 

He  wrenched  his  gaze  from  her  ef- 
fortfully.  "She  is  good — and  I — I  love 
her !"  he  said  doggedly,  and  got  to  his 
feet,  defying  her,  tho  unconsciously  his 
arms  went  out  hungrily  to  the  youth  of 
her,  the  splendid,  quick  young  loveli- 
ness. "I'm  going  back  to  my  wife — I 
shall  never  see  you  again !     Good-by  I" 


But  still  she  had  no  mercy.  "Tell  me 
— before  you  go,"  she  dared  him,  "tell 
me  that  you  never  want  to  see  me  again." 

He  tried  to  say  the  words,  but  his  dry 
lips  refused  to  shape  them.  In  his  gaze 
was  confession,  but  he  was  still  man 
enough  to  go,  and  the  door  closed  behind 
the  tragic  young  figure.  Marie  laughed 
shakily.  The  sound  stumbled  over  a  sob. 
"He's  splendid  and  I'm  a  wicked 
woman."  She  sprang  across  to  Polly's 
clothes-press,  disguised  meagerly  with 
cubist  cretonne,  and  rummaged.  Among 
the  bedraggled  smocks,  the  smeary  batik, 
the  wool-embroidered,  the  stenciled,  she 
found  one  comparatively  new  white  one, 
dragged  it  down  and  began  to  tear  at  the 
fastenings  of  her  own. 

"I've  got  to  look  pretty — enough  to 
make  him  forgive  me,"  she  sobbed,  as  she 
worked.    "Oh,  I'm  afraid — afraid  !" 

To  Ernest  Lismore,  sitting  dully  in  his 
study,  staring  at  broken  pictures  in  the 
mocking  flames,  came  the  sound  of  littie, 
light  feet  that  he  had  learnt  to  know.  He 
looked  up  guihily  as  his  old  little  wife 
came  into  the  room  and  stood  by  his 
chair,  patting  his  rough,  dark  head  gently. 
"Boy,"  she  said,  "boy,  I've  been  thinking, 
wondering.  Perhaps  it's  time  for  me  to 
free  you,  Ernie.  I've  thought  that  you 
looked  troubled  lately.  Tell  me,  boy,  are 
you  in  love  ?  Remember  I'm  your  grand- 
mother and  tell  me  all  about  her." 

"Oh,  you're  wonderful !"  choked  Er- 
nest, and  caught  at  the  kind  little  hand. 
"You  know  everything!  I  didn't  mean 
to,  honest !  It  just  happened — she's 
little,  like  you,  and  she  has  hair  like  a 
dark  spring  night  trimmed  with  stars !" 

And  he  went  on  in  breathless,  stum- 
bling words,  in  flaming  young  phrases, 
foolish  young  similes,  to  tell  of  his  love 
for  the  paint-smeared  little  artist  he  had 
met  in  the  Dawn  galleries.  When,  a  long 
time  after  he  had  begun  speaking,  he 
stopped  abruptly,  there  was  a  space  of 
silence.  "I — suppose  you  can  never — 
forgive  me,"  Ernest  faltered. 

"Forgive  you  !"  a  voice  echoed  in  his 
ear,  throbbing,  beating  like  a  heart. 

Amazed,  he  looked  down  at  the  little 
white-clad  figure  that  had  slipped  to  the 
floor  at  his  feet,  and  suddenly  he  cried 
out,  unbelievingly,  "You!  Not — you? 
Was  it — you,  all  the  time?"  for  she  had 
lifted  the  piled  grey  hair  with  a  revealing 
gesture  and  flung  it  from  her  own. 

"It  was  I — all  the  time,"  Marie  an- 
swered, and  suddenly  her  look  quickened 
to  that  of  some  prophetess.  "Ernest,  it 
wasn't  all  acting.  When  a  woman  loves 
a  man,  she  loves  him  because  he's  her 
hero,  and  because  he's  her  protector,  and 
because  he's  her  lover — and,  most  of  all, 
because  he's  really  her  little  boy,  Ernie. 
Still" — her  lips  grew  mischievous — "still, 
sir,  if  you're  dissatisfied  with  your  wife, 
of  course  I'll  stick  to  my  agreement " 

"My  wife!"  said  Ernest  Lismore,  and 
he  said  it  like  a  prayer.  "My  wife,"  and 
this  time  it  was  like  a  poem.  "My  wife!" 
and  he  stooped  to  sweep  her  up  in  his 
strong,  hungry  arms.

AN  APOLOGY  AND 
AN  EXPLANATION 

On  October  ist,  1919,  practically  all  of  the  printers  and  type- 
setters in  and  around  New  York  went  out  on  strike,  including 
those  who  print  this  magazine.  Without  going  into  the  merits 
of  the  controversy  between  the  employers  and  the  employees,  we 
will  simply  say  that  we  had  no  voice  in  the  matter  one  way  or 
the  other.  Several  labor  unions  had  differences  among  them- 
selves, and  these  differences  caused  the  Publishers'  Association 
to  refuse  to  comply  with  the  demands  of  certain  labor  unions. 
We  do  not  belong  to  the  Publishers'  Association.  That  body 
conducted  all  the  negotiations.  When  the  printers  and  com- 
positors walked  out,  it  was  not  in  our  power  to  make  them  walk 
back,  even  if  we  had  been  willing  to  give  them  everything  they 
asked.  Had  we  terms  with  one  union,  another  union  would 
have  refused  to  handle  our  paper,  and  another  union  would 
have  refused  to  make  the  plates  which  are  necessary  for  us  to 
have.  In  other  words,  our  hands  were  tied.  We  were  helpless. 
Some  publications  were  fortunate  enough  to  have  some  of  their 
printing  done  for  them  in  distant  cities,  some  had  it  done  by  some 
other  process  (such  as  typewriting  photographed)  and  some 
could  not  have  their  work  done  at  all.  The  strike  did  not  end 
until  the  latter  part  of  November,  having  lasted  nearly  two 
months. 

During  this  time  we  did  everything  possible  to  supply  our 
readers  with  this,  their  favorite  magazine,  on  time  and  in  good 
condition,  but  such  was  not  possible.  We  left  no  stone  unturned 
and  were  willing  to  go  to  any  expense,  but  in  spite  of  every  effort, 
we  were  unable  to  meet  the  schedule,  hence  we  were  late. 
Furthermore,  the  magazine  that  you  received  was  not  the  one 
we  intended  to  give  you.  When  the  strike  came  on,  this  magazine 
was  partly  made  up  and  partly  printed,  but  we  were  unable  to 
move  either  the  type  or  the  parts  that  had  been  printed.  We 
managed  to  get  out  a  MAGAZINE,  but  it  was  not  the  kind  of 
magazine  we  wanted,  it  was  the  best  we  could.  We  could  not 
even  print  an  explanation  and  an  apology,  hence  this  one.  We 
hoped,  and  still  believe,  that  all  of  our  esteemed  readers,  even 
those  in  distant  parts,  had  heard  of  the  great  tie-up  strike  and 
that  they  would  patiently  wait.  Some  of  our  contemporaries  took 
advantage  of  our  extremities  by  issuing  extra  large  editions  on 
an  advanced  date,  hoping  thereby  to  secure  some  of  our  readers, 
instead  of  extending  us  the  brotherly  hand  and  saying,  "Is  there 
anything  we  can  do  for  you  in  your  distress?"  We  hope  that

STRONGFORT 
The  Perfect  Man

OP  Llf^B 


What's  the  good  of  liv- 
ing at  all,  if  Life  is  just 
one  miserable  day  after 
another,  full  of  discom- 
fort and  failure,  often  of 
actual  sufTering?  You  can't 
enjoy  life,  or  make  a  suc- 
cess of  anything,  whih 
you  are  undeveloped, 
weak,  ailing;  a  sickly 
grouch  whom  nobody 
wants  to  help  along  or 
even  have  around.  When 
you  wake  up  in  the  morn- 
ing with  a  rotten  taste  in 
your  mouth  and  a  weight 
in  your  chest;  with  your 
brain  woozy  and  your 
nerves  all  on  edge,  tired 
out  before  you  even  begin 
the  day.  YOU  ARE  IN  A 
BAD  WAY. 

Forty  per  cent  of  Americans, 
it  is  estimated,  die  before  their 
time,  of  PREVENTABLE  dis- 
eases.  Xoljody  knows  how  many 
men  and  women  break  down  in 
early  and  middle  life  and  live  out 
years  of  miserable  usclessness  in 
the  scrap-heaps  of  wornout  hu- 
manity. 

Put  Your  Human  Machine  in  Order 

Dyspepsia,  indigestion,  biliousness,  constipation,  nerv- 
ousness, ami  a  host  of  other  ailments  are  simply  signs 
that  your  internal  machinery  is  not  running  right — 
that  REPAIRS  ARE  NEEDED— fresh  blood,  new 
and  vigorous  body  and  brain  tissues.  It  isn't  the  dis- 
comforts you  suffer  from  such  chronic  ailments  that 
is  important:  it's  the  serious  internal  condition  that 
they  indicate.  Heed  those  warnings  of  Nature.  Make 
the  needed  repairs  before  it  is  too  late.  You  never 
will  be  well  and  strong  and  capable  until  you  do. 
You  will  get  worse — each  day — until  the  final  collapse 
or  breakdown  comes.  That  is  the  Law  of  Nature. 
There's  no  dodging  or  getting  away  from  the  penalty 
she  exacts  when  her  warnings  are  not  considered. 

Make  Yourself  Fit 

You  can  do  it,  if  you  will  only  make  up  your  mind 
to  get  out  of  the  way  of  putting  the  matter  off  "until 
tomorrow"  and  begin  at  once  to  Build  I'p  yourself. 
Nature  has  implanted  in  every  human  organism  a 
wonderful  revivifying,  revitalizing  force,  which  she 
will  exert  to  the  utmost  when  you  learn  her  methods 
and  observe  her  laws.  Patent  medicines  won't  put 
you  right.  Druggist's  dope  won't  do  you  any  good. 
Pills  and  powders  may  give  you  a  little  temporary 
relief  and  stimulation,  but  they  won't  eradicate  the 
CAUSE  of  your  troubles,  and  when  the  inevitable 
reaction  comes  you  will  be  even  worse  off  than  before. 

Let  Me  Show  You  Nature's  Way 

I  liare  spent  my  life  etudylnff  Nature's  methods  of  building 
lip  and  reritalizing  womout,  broken-down  humanity.  Her 
I.Tws  are  fixed,  immutable,  absolute,  operuting  for  every  Imli- 
vifiual  alike.  I  KNOW  what  they  can  and  will  do  for  TOTT, 
ihrouBh  my  own  experience  and  that  of  thousands  of  my  pupils, 
who  came  to  me  weak,  ailing,  discouraged,  and  are  now 
srrong,  well,  able,  ambitious  men  and  women.  It  makes  no 
difference  what  your  present  condition  is:  It  makes  no  differ- 
ence whether  or  not  it  was  caused  hy  ymir  own  early  indiscre- 
tions or  excesses.  Let  me  show  you  the  straight,  sure  path 
linrk  to  health  and  strength  and  happiness.  It's  Nature's  way, 
and  there's  no  more  doubt  about  the  operations  of  Nature  in 
the  human  frame  than  [here  Is  of  the  daily  rising  and  setting 
of  the  sun.  I  GU.VRANTEE  to  improve  your  condition  100 
per  cent.  If  you  will  only  WILL  to  build  yourself  up  and 
follow  my  methods  for  a  few  months.

Remove  Hair 

the    Common- sense    Way 

IF  merely  removing  hair  from  the  sur- 
face of  the  skin  were  all  that  were 
required  of  a  depilatory,  a  razor  would 
solve  the  superfluous  hair  problem. 
De  Miracle,  the  orig:inal  sanitary  liquid, 
does  more  than  remove  surface  hair.  It 
devitalizes  it,  which  is  the  only  common- 
sense  way  to  remove  hair  from  face, 
neck,  arms,  under-arms  or  limbs. 
De  Miracle  requires  no  mixing.  It  is  ready 
for  instant  use.  Simply  wet  the  hair  and 
it  is  gone.  Only  genuine  De  Miracle  has  a 
money  back  guarantee  in  each  package. 
FREE  BOOK  with  testimonials  of  eminent 
physicians,  surgeons,  dermatologists  and 
medical  journals,  explains  how  De  Miracle 
devitalizes  hair,  mailed  in  plain  sealed  en- 
velope on   request.

Oi'AL  B.— A  little  Into,  but  better  late  than 
never.  Those  striking  printers  certainly  did 
play  havoc  with  our  schedule.  Never  mind,  we 
expect  to  be  out  on  time  with  the  next  issue. 
Be  patient.  I  haven't  the  boy's  name  in  "The 
Delicious  Little  Devil." 

Talmadge  Fan. — My  thanks,  you  flatter  me. 
My  wit  might  be  more  appealing  but  that 
Shakespeare,  Butler  and  Bacon  have  rendered 
it  extremely  difficult  for  all  who  come  after 
ihem  to  be  sublime,  witty  or  profound.  How- 
ever, I'll  do  my  best.  Write  to  our  Sales  De- 
partment, and  not  to  me,  please,  about  all 
matters  concerning  back  copies,  subscriptions, 
etc. 

From  Mt.  Pleasant. — Oh,  how  do  you  do! 
Yes.  I  have  just  had  a  birthday,  but  I  hope  to 
advise  you  during  1920 — never  too  old  to  be 
an  Answer  Man.  I  rarch'  look  back,  but 
always  keep  looking  ahead.  Some  people 
spend  their  lives  in  reasoning  on  the  past,  in 
complaining  of  the  present,  and  in  trembling 
for  the  future.  Ruth  Roland  in  "Hands  Up," 
and  Jean  Sothern  in  "The  Mysteries  of  Mira." 

C.  R.\Y. — Fiat  lii.v  means  "Let  there  be 
light."  Mae  Murray  is  playing  in  "The  ABC 
of  Love,"  released  thru  Pathe.  Corinne  Griffith 
is  playing  in  "The  Tower  of  Jewels."  Why,  I 
very  seldom  get  down  to  Vitagraph.  Ah  ha, 
so  you  like  little  Marguerite  de  la  Motte,  and 
think  she  is  a  "pippin."  I  think  so  too,  but  I 
confess  I  dont  know  what  a  pippin  is.  So 
you  like  the  Magazine  better  than  the  Classic. 

Dixie  Dee. — Sure  I  have  w-hiskers  like  a 
Turkish  pasha,  but  I  never  wear  a  muffler  in 
the  winter  time,  nor  do  I  carry  a  muff,  nor  do 
I  ice-skate  to  and  from  the  office.  Dorothy 
Gish  in  "Betty  of  Greystone"  opposite  Owen 
Moore.  You  say  you  know  something  about 
the  markets  and  the  way  of  the  dollar,  but  all 
1  know  about  women  is  that  they  are  good  to 
have.  And  you  come  along  and  say  that  Wal- 
lace Reid  is  the  handsomest  man  in  the  world. 
Have  you  seen  them  all?  Come  in  again  and 
see  me. 

Coming  Author. — Well  now,  come  right 
along.  There's  room  for  one  more.  You  say 
A'ou  have  written  a  scenario  and  ask  how  much 
it  is  worth.  That's  not  the  question.  It  is, 
How  much  will  it  bring?  Take  what  you  can 
pet  and  be  thankful.  Write  for  a  list  of  the 
manufacturers. 

MiMi  B. — Well,  there  is  one  thing  that 
people  bring  to  the  table,  and  cut,  but  do  not 
eat,  and  which  should  never  be  brought  to  the 
table  at  all — a  pack  of  cards.  Card-playing  is 
a  terrible  waste  of  time  and  brings  no  benefits. 
Jifarjorie  Wilson  plaved  in  "Mountain  Dew" 
and  William  Elliott'  in  "When  We  Were 
Twentv-one."  And  now  Lillian  Walker  will 
play  in  "$1,000,000  Reward,"  a  serial,  produced 
by  Grossman  Pictures,  Inc.,  Ithaca. 

Minnie  F.  L.,  Auburn. — Oh,  you  have 
Auburn  hair?  I  am  always  glad  to  hear  froin 
architects.  I  am  one  myself.  I  am  the  archi- 
tect of  my  own  fortune,  but  I  confess  that  I 
have  made  a  bad  job  of  it  so  far.  But  what 
can  one  do  on  nine  dollars  a  week?  I  went 
into  this  business  nine  years  ago  without  a 
cent  in  my  pocket  and  I've  got  it  yet.  Oh,  how 
could  I  forget  you,  Minnie  I 


G.  E.  W. — Why,  turning  a  woman's  head  is 
as  easy  as  missing  a  train  if  you  know  how. 
Is  Conway  Tearle  married?  Witness  prefers 
not  to  answer  on  the  ground  that  he  is  not 
sure  about  it  this  minute.  Mississippi  was  the 
first,  Virginia  second,  Kentucky  third.  South 
Carolina  fourth  to  ratify  the  amendment  for 
prohibition.    Even  Kentucky,'! 

Peggy  Adair. — I  thank  you.  fair  lady,  for 
the  cigars,  but  with  all  due  respect  and  grati- 
tude. I  must  inform  you  thai  I  knew  they  were 
purchased  by  a  woman.  You  say  they  had 
Connecticut  w^rappers?  I  believe  you;  they 
tasted  like  some  kind  o£  rags.  An  artist  tells 
me  that  old  wrappers  make  excellent  rags. 
No,  Mrs.  Adolph  Zukor  is  not  a  player.  She's 
a  producer's  wife.    Write  to  me  again. 

M.  T. — Of  course  I  eat  fish.  If  I  have 
plenty  of  mackerel  for  breakfast,  I  can  usually 
make  the  other  two  meals  out  of  cold  water. 
Virginia  Brown,  one  of  the  winners  in  the 
Fame  and  Fortune  Contest,  has  changed  her 
name  to  Virginia  Faire,  and  has  signed  a  five 
vears'  contract  with  Universal,  involving  some 
$85,000.  Pretty  good  start,  eh?  Antonio 
Moreno  in  his  new  serial,  "Smashing  Bar- 
riers." 

Lily  B. — My  dear,  no  human  creature  gives 
his  admiration  for  nothing;  either  the  eye 
must  be  charmed,  or  the  understanding  grati- 
fied. And  that  is  the  way  of  the  world.  Yes, 
Elmo  Lincoln  in  "Tarzan."  Why,  haven't  you 
heard  of  a  varnish  tree?  There  is  the  black 
varnish  tree  and  the  Japan  varnish  tree. 

Miss  Manda — You  question  my  statement 
that  I  am  a  self-made  man,  because  if  1  had 
made  myself  I  would  have  put  more  hair  on 
my  head.  Well,  I  put  it  on  my  chin  instead. 
Be  off  with  you.  Alice  Brady's  latest  picture 
is  "The  Fear  Market,"  which  was  produced  a 
couple  of  years  ago  on  Broadway. 

Helen. — Yes.  Alice  Joyce  was  in  New 
Orleans  taking  "The  Sporting  Duchess."  Ben 
Wilson  and  Neva  Gerber  are  producing  a  sec- 
ond serial,  "The  Screaming  Shadow."  Some- 
body must  like  these  serials.  Of  course  I  lie 
down  to  sleep,  do  you  think  I  am  a  horse? 
Speaking  of  horses,  they  show  their  angsr  by 
retracting  their  ears.  Did  you  notice  mine 
retract? 

George  L. — If  j'ou  want  your  letters  an- 
swered in  the  Classic,  please  be  sure  to  put 
"Classic"  at  the  top  of  vour  letter.  Dolores 
Cassinelli  is  playing  in  "The  Web  of  Deceit." 
Herbert  Rawlinson  is  starring  in  8  two-reel 
detective  features.  J.  Warren  Kerrigan  in 
"The  Lord  Loves  the  Irish,"  and  I  guess  He 
does,  or  He  wouldn't  have  made  so  many  of 
them.  So  you  want  to  see  Anna  Little  on  the 
cover  and  an  interview  with  Clara  Williams. 

Marjorie  M. — Chickens,  no,  no,  the  incu- 
bator w^as  known  to  China  and  Eg>-pt  first—in 
the  very  early  period.  The  smallest  British 
possession  is  Gibraltar,  and  the  largest  _  is 
Canada.  You  know  there  must  be  a  begin- 
ning. Dont  know  why  you  are  afraid  to  write 
to  me.  I  wont  hurt  you.  The  more  the  mer- 
rier. Yes,  Frankie  Lee  is  a  bright  child.  Billie 
Burke  did  not  play  in  her  stage  play  on  Christ- 
mas Day.  She  spent  the  day  with  Patricia.

MOTION  PICTURE 


On  With  the  Dance 

(Contitnted  from  page  SS) 

staling  on  him,  opened  a  dancing  palace 
and  sent  the  masked  dancer  off  to  a  sen- 
sational success. 

Sonia  loved  it,  especially  at  first.  She 
feasted  upon  the  adulation,  personal, 
press  and  otherwise.  She  rioted  in  furs 
and  jewels  and  the  things  she  had  hun- 
gered for  since  she  had  danced,  half- 
naked,  on  her  native  steppes.  It  was  all 
rich  food  to  a  part  of  her  long  lean  with 
deprivation. 

Other  things,  of  course,  were  more 
involved.  Van  Vechtan,  incidentally,  ac- 
quired two  deep  lines  on  his  brow  where 
lines  had  not  been  before.  Peter  grew 
more  silent  and  more  morose,  retired 
more  than  ever  to  himself.  He  was  out 
a  great  deal  of  the  time  with  Joan,  doing 
settlement  work  and  reading  things 
Sonia  did  not  nor  would  not  understand. 
When  he  was  at  home  he  was  utterly 
abstracted,  felt  utterly  stifled.  Joan  was 
the  air  he  needed  to  breathe  in  order  to 
live.  Sonia  and  her  heavy  atmospheres 
stifled  him.  He  grew  to  know  how  bit- 
terly a  man  sins  against  himself  when 
he  does  not  play  true  with  himself,  with 
the  greatest  urge  within  him. 

Under  a  surface  all  roses  and  smiles 
and  discreetness  and  silences  and  abstrac- 
tions, something  ugly  and  sinister  rankled 
and  grew  apace.  Peter  became  insistent 
as  to  the  source  of  Soma's  plutocratic 
apparel.  He  knew  it  did  not  come  from 
him,  even  tho  his  income  from  the  ter- 
minal plans  had  become  a  solid  one.  He 
knew  that  Van  Vechtan  was  simply 
making  her  the  simple  allowance  he  had 
given  her  when  she  first  came  to  her 
father  and  to  him,  adequate  only  for  her 
studies  and  simple  attire.  Because  he 
honestly  did  not  very  much  care  in  any 
essential  sense  he  did  not  press  the  mat- 
ter for  a  while.  Van  Vechtan  did,  and 
Sonia,  curled  up  on  a  couch,  told  him 
all  about  it.  "It's  gorgeous  fun,"  she 
said,  in  conclusion. 

Van  Vechtan  sighed.  The  sigh  came 
from  his  traditions  and  his  dreams,  never 
quite  the  same,  always  a  bit  disturbed 
since  this  girl  had  come  over  the  waters, 
bringing  with  her  new  flavors,  a  hint  of 
new  desires. 

"You  are  a  mystery  as  you  are,  So- 
nia," he  told  her.  "Why  try  to  exploit 
it  all — for  the  mob?  Reserve  is  the  last 
of  the  arts,  and  the  finest.  Why  not 
live  more  for  Peter,  more  for  the  things 
you  can  take  with  you  into  the  softer 
years?  The  adulation  of  the  mob — they 
are  a  wolf-pack,  snarling  for  fresh  meat. 
They  will  reject  you  and  cast  you  out. 
They  will  forget  you." 

"I  will  reject  them  and  cast  them  out, 
too,"  Sonia  said ;  "they  are  a  toy  to 
me,  also.  I  will  forget  them.  Anyway, 
what  does'  tomorrow  matter?  Or  yes- 
terday? It  is  the  present  that  matters. 
It  is  today.  Death  and  forgetfulness 
make  mockeries  of  past  and  future." 

"You  are  imbibing,"  sighed  Van  Vech- 
tan, "the  tin-pan  philosophy  of  Jimmie 

(Ninety) 


LASSIC 

Sutherland.     I    suppose   you've   got   to 
i  ;arn.    What  a  weary  cycle  it  all  is !" 

Of  course,  sensationalism  stepped  in 
nd  smashed  the  whole  rotting  structure 
3  the  mud,  from  which,  only  with  great 
•ain  and  labor,  anything  whole  and  ade- 
uate  was  made  again. 

Peter  came  home  one  night,   straight 

rom    foan,   to    find   .Sonia    dancing   an 

.bandoned  sort  of  a   thing   for  Jimmie 

Sutherland.    All  the  satyr  in  Sutherland 

vas  on  the  surface.     It  was   repellent. 

'eter  created  a  scene,  justifiably  enough, 

jind  only  Sonia's  really  desperate  plead- 

ng  saved  the  studio  from  being  the  scene 

!  )£  God  knows  what  horror. 

I    After  it  was  over,  Sonia  packed  her 

)ags  and  departed.     "I  dont  know  what 

t's  all  about,"  she  said,  "but  I  know  that 

[  cant  stand  it,  any  of  it.     You've  never 

:oved  me,  Peter.     I  think  some  of  the 

:ause  is  in  that." 

A  week  later  Peter  followed  her  to  the 
dancing  palace,  and  so  did  Jimmie  Suth- 
jrland's  discarded  Fay  Desmond.  The 
oapers  had  the  whole  thing  in  detail  the 
next  morning.  Fay  Desmond  tore  the 
mask  from  the  masked  dancer,  de- 
nouncing her,  Sutherland  leaped  to  the 
rescue  and  then,  clean  as  a  lance,  past  the 
lot  of  them,  a  slender  man,  white  and 
murderous,  cleaved  thru  the  crowd — and 
limmie  Sutherland  lay  under  a  smoking 
gun  held  by  Peter  Derwynt. 

It  was  an  equally  sensational  trial. 
The  component  parts  were  splendid  as 
copy  —  the  famous  masked  dancer; 
Schuyler  Van  Vechtan,  unapproachable 
in  the  assault  of  all  approaches ;  Peter, 
an  odd  murderer  in  his  remote  and  white 
asceticism ;  the  desperate-looking  Fay 
Desmond,  with  the  odd  air  about  her  of 
petrified  vitality,  almost  as  tho  frozen ; 
the  name  of  the  wealthy  Jimmie  Suther- 
land, whom  wealth  had  turned,  it 
seemed,  from  a  ruddy,  honest  pork- 
packer  into  a  satyr,  horridly  stalking. 

The  trial  reached  its  climax  when 
Sonia,  slender  and  vastly  different,  all 
in  black  and  utterly  composed,  took  the 
stand.  She  told  the  jury,  very  simply, 
without  any  sort  of  affectation  or  apol- 
ogy or  ostentation,  that  she  had  been 
Jimmie  Sutherland's  mistress  because  she 
craved  the  luxuries  of  life  and  her  hus- 
band could  not  give  them  to  her.  "He 
found  it  out,"  she  said,  in  conclusion,  "so 
he  killed  him." 

Peter  was  acquitted.  He  had  done,  of 
course,  the  justifiable  thing.  He  had 
merely  killed  the  thing  rotting  the  decent 
foundation  of  his  home.  One  could  do 
no  more,  it  seemed ;  no  less. 

He  went  to  Sonia  and  thanked  her — 
for  telling  the  truth. 

"Naturally,"  Sonia  said  to  him,  her 
small  hand,  a  frozen  thing,  stiff  in  his 
formal  touch,  "naturally.  Peter,  I  would 
— tell  the  truth.  I've  always  done  that — 
at  least." 

"It  was  a  hard  truth  to  tell,"  Peter 
said,  "but  it  was  big,  Sonia.  You  might 
have  done  much  less."

Surprises 

You    Can   Serve    With    Bubble    Grains 


Some    morning   serve    Puffed    Rice   or    Com 
Puffs  in  this  way : 

After    crisping,     douse    with    melted    butter. 
Then  add  your  cream  and  sugar. 

It  will  taste  like  a  dish  of  confections.     And 
m  e  n     enjoy     it 
just  as  much  as 
children. 


Add  Puft'ed  Rice  to  your  fruit  dish  —  any 
fruit.  Fruit  tastes  best  with  some  flimsy  crust. 
That's  why  we  have  pies,  tarts  and  short- 
cakes. 

These    fragile,   nut-like  bubbles  add   that   crust. 
After  a  test  you  will  never  omit  them. 


For  supper,  float  rml'ed  Wheat  in  milk. 
These  are  whole-wheat  bubbles  toasted.  They 
are  four  times  as  porous  as  bread. 

Children  need  whole  wheat.  They  need  the 
minerals  in  the  outer  coats.  Served  in  this  way 
they  will  revel  in  it. 


After  school  surprise 
the  children  with  these 
tidbits: 


Dou>t-  i  ■Mil  I'uffs  or  Pufifed  Rice  with  melted 
butter.  Let  them  eat  like  popcorn.  Children 
can  eat  these  grain  dainties  to  their  hearts'  con- 
tent— they  so  easily  digest. 

Scatter  Puffed  Rice  or  Corn  Puffs  like  nut-meats  on  ice  cream.  A 
famous  restaurant  in  Chicago  first  suggested  this. 

Puft'ed  Rice  is  also  used  like  nut-meats  in  home  candy  making— to  make 
the  candy  porous,  light  and  nutty.

All  steam  exploded— puffed  to  eight  times  normal  size.  Every  food 
cell  blasted  by  Professor  Anderson's  process,  so  digestion  is  easy  and 
complete. 

These  are  the  greatest  grain  foods  in  existence  and  you  should  know 
them  all.

Now  we  make  a  pancake  flour  containins 
ground  Puffed  Rice.  It  makes  the  pancakes  fluffy 
and  gives  a  nut-like  flavor.  The  flour  is  self- 
raising,  so  you  simply  add  milk  or  water.  You 
never  tasted  pancakes  such  as  folks  make  with 
Puffed   Rice   Pancake   Flour.

How  to  Obtain  Beautiful,  Rich, 
Long,    Eyelashes    and    Brows ! 

EVERY    WOMAN    should    be    the    rightful    owner    of    beautiful    eyes,    the    essentials    of 
which  are     First:      Long,   rich   eyelashes;    and    Second:      Well-cared-for    eyebrows.      No 
matter    what    color    your    eyes    may    be. — gray,    brown    or    blue.— if    they    are    shaded 
by  thick,  silky  lashes,  and  well-shaped  brows,  their  charm  is  greatly  accentuated. 

Nowadays,  no  one  needs  to  be  the  dissatisfied  possessor  of  short,  thin,  uneven  brows 
and  lashes:  you  can  greatly  assist  Nature  by  simply  applying  a  httle  of  M.  T.  s  Eyelash 
and  Eyebrow  Beautifier  at  night.  This  scientific  preparation  nourishes  the  eyebrows  and 
eyelashes,  causing  them  to  become  gradually  thick  and  lustrous,  imparting  sparkhng  ex- 
pression to  the  eyes,  and  added  charm  to  the  face. 

M  T's  Eyelash  and  Eyebrow  Beautifier,  which  has  been  successfully  used  by  thous- 
ands is  euaranteed  absolutely  harmless;  it  is  not  a  greasy,  sticky  salve,  but  a  clean 
nicely-perlumed  liquid,  in  a  cut  glass  bottle  with  glass  stopper  and  apphcator.  The  cut 
represents  actual  size  of  bottle.  The  active  principle  of  this  valuable  article  is  a  rare  and 
expensive  organic  concentration  which  is  unequalled  for  the  purpose  of  stimulating  and 
strengthening  the  particular  foUicles  which  produce  rich,  dark  eyelashes. 
MONEY   REFUNDED  IF  NOT   SATISFACTORY 

Upon  receipt  of  75c  in  stamps,  coin  or  Money  Order,  f   will  send  you  postpaid,  in  plain 
wrapper,  a  bottle  of  M.  T.'s  Eyelash  and  Eyebrow    Beautifier  together  with  my  copyrighted

MOTION    PICTURi 

"I  agree  with  you  there,"  she  said 
Peter  felt,  curiously,  that  she  wa 
flame  grown  ice.  It  was  somehow  tragic 
It  made  of  Sonia  something  he  had  no 
suspected.  Vaguely  he  felt  uncomfort- 
able. He  knew  that  he  was  in  the  facq 
of  unshrouded  pain. 

Later  he  went  away  with  Joan  t< 
await  the  time  when  the  peace  they  ha< 
all  but  lost  could  come  to  them,  too  wi; 
now  to  let  it  evade  them,  however  a: 
whatever  the  price  they  might  have 
give. 

Sonia  left  the  courtroom  alone.  S 
walked.  She  walked  a  long  way,  towan 
the  river.  She  remembered  hearing  thai 
a  lot  of  "crazy  foreigners"  went  thai 
way  when  the  things  of  life  became  tOG 
much  for  them.  She  laughed  aloud,  but 
not  bitterly.  She  was  too  tired  for  bit 
terness,  too  tired  for  anything  save  reliel 
that  she  was  alone  and  that  there  re- 
mained so  simple  a  solution  as  slipping 
her  dreary  body  into  enveloping  waterSi 
lapping  ever  so  gently  against  the  gree 
docks.  Of  course,  it  was  very  cold,  shi 
supposed,  and  very  dirty.  But  then  si 
was  she  cold,  terribly  cold  and  dirty,  too] 
she  thought,  all  stained  and  scarred  . 

She  had  only  wanted  to  live,  toi 
There  had  been  no  evil  intent  in  hei 
heart,  not  any  more  than  there  had  beei 
when  she  had  wanted,  so  vividly,  t( 
dance,  back  in  her  native  village.  Am 
she  had  danced.  She  had  danced  hen 
too.  She  had  danced  her  soul  into  flamei 
and  her  body  into  the  river.  It  was  all 
very  odd.  Very  inexplicable.  Thin 
one  could  not  understand  invariably  hu: 
one.  It  was  a  blunting,  blowing  sensi 
One  groped,  sly,  too,  who  had  so  great! 
loved  the  dear  ozone,  the  winged  ethe^ 
the  altitudes  where  one  could  see  fai 
horizons  with  an  untrararaeled  vision. 

All  at  once  something  took  hold  of  her, 
Something  warm.    A  human  hand.     She 
had  never  expected  to  feel  warm  again, 
Some  one  drew  her  very  close  and,  as  ii 
knowing  her  to  be  cold  despite  her  own 
furs,  enveloped  her  in  a  great  coat  he  was 
wearing  himself.     It  was  Van  Vechtan. 
"My  child,"  he  was  murmuring,  ever 
so  tenderly,  "my  child  .  .  .  my  child  .  .  ." 
Sonia    found    herself    crying    againsi 
him,  against  the  beating  of  his  heart,  his 
true  heart.     He  had,  it  seemed  to  her, 
walked  suddenly  from  out  of  the  twilight 
and  was  standing,  fully,  in  the  sun. 
"Come  home,  my  love,"  he  said. 
The  maid  helped  him  and  he  made  her 
comfortable.     He  eased  her  tired  body 
and  her  tired  soul  and  quelled  the  sorry 
fluttering  of   her   heart.      He  bade   her' 
know  that  love  might  be  a  torch   held 
high  against  the  heavens,  unquenchable,] 
eternal.     He  took  her  in  his  arms  andf 
rocked  her  to  and  fro.     He  taught  her  a 
new   lesson,   a   new    faith.      Once,    half 
wakeful,    she    whispered    to    him,    "Of' 
course,  I  lied  ...  to  Peter  .   .   .  about 
Jimmie  ..." 

"Of  course,"  he  whispered  back. 
Still  later  she  crept  closer  to  him.  Her 
lips,  white  petals  now,  moved,  tonelessly. 
He  bent  closer  to  catch  what  she  said. 

"I  have  come  hom*^,  my  love,"  was 
what  he  heard.

CLASSIC 

Understudying  Mary 

(Continued  from  page  85) 

The  old  station  master  knew  that  Miss 
Pickford  and  her  company  were  cominp 
there  that  morning  and  he  was  all  expec- 
tation. His  expectations  were  more  than 
realized  when  he  came  ovit  of  his  little 
office  and  beheld  "two"  Mary  Pickfords 
instead  of  one. 

He  circled  about  the  pair  and  surveyed 
them  in  every  detail — from  curl-bedecked 
heads  to  identical  ''Pollyanna"  homespun 
short  frock,  plain  cotton  stockings  and 
tiny  well-worn  shoes.  He  took  distance 
views  from  the  front,  rear  and  sides. 
Then  he  tightened  the  circle  and  looked 
his  fill  at  close  range  and  punctuated  his 
glances  from  each  angle,  with  a  perplexed 
scratch  of  his  head. 

Then  he  waited  his  opportunity  and 
when  the  "two"  Pickfords  separated  for 
a  moment,  he  hurried  over  to  Miss  Du 
Pre  and  plied  her  with  a  "million"  ques- 
tions. He  asked  where  she  had  been 
bom  and  where  Miss  Pickford  hailed 
from,  and  if  there  existed  any  relation- 
ship between  them.  But  the  answers  onlv 
perplexed  him  the  more  and  learning 
that  Miss  Du  Pre  came  from  Atlanta, 
Georgia,  while  Miss  Pickford  came  from 
Toronto,  Canada,  he  gave  up  the  effort 
to  solve  the  "mystery"  and  resumed  his 
work  with  the  remark — typical  of  a  rail- 
road man — "cant  understand  how  two 
people  can  come  from  such  widely  separ- 
ated points  and  look  alike." 

Then  to  the  studio  came  such  celebri- 
ties as  Mrs.  Mc.\doo  and  Mrs.  William 
Randolph  Hearst,  where  they  met  Miss 
Du  Pre  and  were  amazed  at  the  duplica- 
tion of  the  little  "Queens  of  the  Screen." 
And  the  furore  she  created  in  the  studio 
extended  even  to  the  wise  ones  of  the 
profession,  to  those  men  and  women 
long  associated  with  the  business  of  mak- 
ing motion  pictures  and  used  to  the  sur- 
prises of  the  motion  picture  stage. 

There  was  Tom  Gerrity,  the  scenario 
writer  and  veteran  motion  picture  man, 
when  he  beheld  star  and  understudy  to- 
gether, for  the  first  time,  he  looked, 
rubbed  his  eyes,  and  looked  again  and 
then  pleaded :  "Tell  me  quick — which  is 
which — or  send  for  a  doctor." 

And  all  thru  the  excitement,  Miss 
Du  Pre  has  retained  her  usual  poise, 
with  not  the  slightest  sign  of  being  spoiled 
by  the  flattery  and  the  official  appoint- 
ment of  being  "just  like  Mary."  "Of 
course,  it  is  very  wonderful  to  be  asso- 
ciated with  Miss  Pickford,"  she  said,  "but 
I  detest  imitators  and  I  have  no  desire  to 
imitate  Miss  Pickford  in  any  way,  other 
than  as  her  understudy.  Miss  Pickford 
is  a  master  of  the  art  of  silent  expression 
and  in  my  present  position  I  feel  like  a 
student  taking  a  post-graduate  course." 
Louise  Du  Pre  has  played  on  the  stage 
for  several  years,  but  has  always  played 
dramatic-ingenue  roles — parts  far  re- 
moved from  the  "child"  characters  es- 
sayed by  Miss  Pickford.  She  is  a  South- 
ern girl  with  a  convent  education,  and 
altho  only  five  feet  in  height,  she  likes 
to  dress  her  hair  back  and  appear 
"grown  up."

The  Celluloid  Critic 

{Continued  from  paijc  49) 

incidentally  giving  it  a  happy  ending. 
Conrad's  tale  of  the  exile,  Axel  Heyst, 
and  the  girl  from  a  wandering  tropical 
orchestra  upon  the  lonely  Paciiic  isle  is 
touclied  here  and  there  by  Mr.  Tour- 
netir's  camera,  but  not  by  the  scenario. 
"\'ictory"  singularly  disappointed  us,  for 
we  suggested  the  tragic  tale  to  Mr. 
Tourneur  some  two  years  ago,  and  we 
looked  forward  to  its  screening  with 
genuine  interest.  The  dapper  Jack  Holt 
is  not  the  Axel  of  Conrad  and  Seena 
Owen  is  too  much  the  ingenue  to  ever 
be  the  picturesque  Alma.  The  only  ap- 
proach to  Conrad  is  Lon  Cheney,  who 
was  the  Frog  of  "The  Miracle  Man,"  as 
tliat  merciless  vulture  of  the  South  Seas, 
Riccardo. 

"Soldiers  of  Fortune,"  (Realart), 
Allan  Dwan's  celluloiding  of  the  late 
Richard  Harding  Davis'  pleasant  ro- 
mance of  South  American  revolutions  in 
tlie  merry  days  before  the  poison  gas  and 
modern  mechanism  took  the  gayety  out 
of  warfare,  is  done  in  a  big  way.  but  it 
never  once  makes  a  direct  personal  ap- 
peal. Dwan  is  more  fitted  for  s*"cries  of 
the  inner  soul  than  these  pageants  of 
supers.  Here  his  cast  does  not  in  any 
way  distinguish  itself.  There  is  one  re- 
markable long  shot,  a  vista  of  the  ani- 
mated roj'al  parade  ground,  which  will 
not  soon  be  forgotten  by  fans  who  see 
"Soldiers  of  Fortune." 

JMary  Pickford  contributes  a  mellower 
and  more  legitimate  characterization  in 
"Heart  o'  the  Hills,"  (First  National), 
adapted  from  a  tale  of  the  moonshine 
mountain  folk  by  the  late  John  Fox,  Jr., 
than  in  any  of  her  vehicles  for  some 
months.  Here  she  has  a  role  slightly 
more  mature  than  has  been  her  wont  re- 
cently, the  character  of  a  fiery,  untamed 
girl  of  the  Kentucky  hills.  And  Miss 
Pickford  plays  it  with  an  infinite  va- 
riev}'  of  shadings  and  nuances,  despite 
the  triteness  of  the  romance.  Harold 
(joodwin  does  the  mountain  boy  lover 
admirably. 

"For  Old  Kentucky,"  fFirst  National), 
is  still  another  story  of  the  moonshiners, 
Kentucky  colonels,  and  so  on.  For  years 
a  barnstorming  stage  melodrama,  it  has 
been  adapted  to  Anita  Stewart's  film 
needs.  It  is  the  most  obvious  sort  of 
cheap  melodrama.  Marshall  Neilan  has 
(lone  all  in  his  power  to  camouflage  the 
;  tory,  but  the  screen  is  mercilessly  reveal- 
ing, we  fear.  Miss  Stewart  shows  no 
advance  in  this  picture,  we  regret  to 
report. 

Mary  Miles  Minter's  "Anne  of  Green 
Gables,"  ("Realart),  belongs  to  the  sugar- 
coated  Pollyanna  school  of  realistic  lit- 
erature. Miss  Minter  portrays  a  young 
orphan  who,  adopted  by  an  aged  couple, 
softens  their  hearts  and  eventually  wins 
her  own  happiness.  Miss  Minter  is  a

MOTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC 

The  Celluloid  Critic 

(Continued  from  page  94) 
tin's  stories  of  the  DEitch  folk  of  Penn- 
sylvania called  "Erstwhile  Susan,"  build- 
ing the  play  about  the  eccentric  teacher 
of  elocution  who  weds  into  a  stolid 
fai'iiier  family.  In  adapting  "Erstwhile 
Susan"  to  the  films  for  Constance  Bin- 
ney's  use,  Realart  has  shifted  the  interest 
from  the  wife  to  the  brow-beaten  young- 
est daughter  of  the  Dreary  domicile. 
"Erstwhile  Susan"  is  loose  and  slow- 
moving  of  continuity  and  direction. 
John  S.  Robertson's  direction  is  but  fair, 
but  Miss  Binney  reveals  certain  distinct 
possibilities  as  the  drudge,  Barnabetta. 
She  makes  a  genuine  effort  at  characteri- 
zation. The  photoplay  has  been  cut  to 
accent  Barnabetta,  with  the  result  that 
the  odd  character  of  the  step-mother, 
altho  well  played  by  Maiy  Alden,  will  be 
puzzling  to  the  average  celluloid  audience. 

Billie  Burke's  piquancy  is  very  much 
soft-pedaled  in  "Wanted — A  Husband," 
(Paramount).  Herein  she  plays  a 
dowdy  young  girl  who,  stung  by  the 
comments  of  her  friends,  announces 
a  hastily  selected  photograph  as  that  of 
her  lover.  She  puts  herself  thru  a  train- 
ing with  modistes  and  hairdressers  just 
as  the  imaginary  lover  turns  out  to  be 
the  real  thing.  There  are  all  sorts  of 
complications,  of  course.  "Wanted — A 
Husband"  is  very  slow-moving.  We  do 
not  care  personally  particularly  for 
James  L.  Crane  as  the  lover  who  comes 
true. 

Very  frothy  is  "Luck  in  Pawn." 
(Paramount),  a  Marvin  Taylor  stor\'  in 
which  Marguerite  Clai'k  lends  her  petite 
charms.  Miss  Clark  plays  a  little  coun- 
try girl  who  tries  to  be  a  painter,  meets 
a  bored  young  millionaire  and,  after 
arousing  him,  finds  ultimate  happiness. 
Walter  Edwards  has  fearfully  over- 
drawn many  of  his  incidents.  No  such 
society  folk  ever  existed  on  land  or  sea. 
Miss  Clark  is  pleasant,  but  the  comedy 
itself  is  pretty  fragile  stuff. 


The  Movie  Encyclopsedia 

(Continued  from  page  88) 

Utah's  Daughter. — Why,  Juanita  Hansen 
isn't  missing.  ^  She  was  playing  in  "The  Lost 
City,"  presenting  Selig's  Wild  Animals.  Lois 
Weber  in  "Forced  to  Wed."  Think  of  such  a 
thing!  I  am  told  that  brown  eyes  usually 
photograph  better  than  blue  ones.  Yes,  Mar- 
guerite Clark  is  married.  Dont  believe  all  you 
hear,  and  only  half  of  what  you  see. 

P.  C.  M.,  Manila. — Last  I  heard  of  her  she 
was  on  her  way  to  France.  Can  you  think  of 
a  more  gruesome  title  than  "The  Cinema  Mur- 
der" with  Marion  Davies  iu  the  lead!  Think 
of  it,  written  by  Frances  Marion,  and  directed 
by  George  D.  Baker,  two  of  the  best  in  the 
business,  with  a  title  like  that.  I  wonder  who 
murdered  the  cinema.  Let  me  hear  from  you 
ag.iin. 

J.  F.  M. — Well,  I  cant  tell  you  offhand  how 
many  distributing  associations  there  are  in  the 
U.  S.,  but  there  are  at  least  10  organized  ex- 
changes with  branches  thruout  the  country, 
altho  there  are  only  about  five  important  film 
exchange   systems. 

R.  E.  N. — Yes,  I  know  they  follow  our  style, 
but  you  know  that  imitation  is  the  sincerest 
form  of  flattery.  Why,  the  Pacific  Ocean  is 
the  deepest  of  the  oceans  of  the  world.  Its 
greatest  known  depth  is  2L500  fathonis.  I 
understand  they  are  going  to  have  bars  in  the 
ocean  now.  Y'es,  Dorothy  Green  is  playing — 
she  just  finished  "The  Wild  Fawn."

unusual  and  en- 
tertaining, is  already 
the  object  of  great 
interest  —  unfailing 
and  rife.  If  you 
have  entered  it  or 
have  read  the  announcements 
which  have  appeared,  and  will  ap- 
pear, from  time  to  time,  containing 
the  rules  and  regulations,  you 
know  it  is  actually  a  double  con- 
test— a  contest  in  which  both  the 
public  and  players  are  equally  in- 
terested. 

The  prizes  depicted  above  and 
below  were  selected  after  much 
careful  thought  and  attention  and 
each  one  is  destined  to  make  some 
one  happier,  from  the  beautiful 
Crescent  phonograph  which  sug- 
gests a  twilight  hour  with  the 
gems  musical  genii  have  given  to 
the  world,  to  the  Marble  nickel-

a  jolly  time  in  some  invitingly 
green  woodland. 

Perhaps  you  have  not  yet  de-

When  the  Lights 
Are  Low 

and  all  within  is  snug  and  cozy  despite  the  howling  wind 
and  drifting  snow  without — when  sparkliiig  eyes  reflect  the 
firelight's  glow,  and  the  lilt  of  melody  tingles  through  our 
veins — then  do  we  know  the  sweet  thrill  of  real  companion- 
ship, when  soul  meets  soul  on  ihat  blessed  plane  of  mutual 
under.'itanding  to  which  music  opens  the  way. 

And  of  all  music,   there  is  none  so  intimately,  humanly

Really,  a  GIBSON  is  more  than  a  mere  instrument. 
1 1  is  a  pal ;  an  understanding  friend ;  comforting, 
cheering;  always  ready  to  sing  our  heart  thoughts; 
exquisite  in  design,  finish  and  tone — truly  a  GIBSON 
is  a  "joy  forever." 

And,  too,  the  GIBSON  is  easy  to  play — and  easy  to  pay 
r.  A  few  short,  interesting  lessons,  and  the  joys  of 
usic-caressed  companionship  are  yours. 

li'e    tell    more    about    GIBSONS   in    the    GIBSON    book.

BUT   YOUR    NOSE? 

N  this  day  and  age  attention  to  your  appearance  is  an  absolute  necessity  if  you 
expect  to  make  tb "  most  out  of  life.  Not  only  should  you  wish  to  appear  as 
attractive  as  possible  for  your  own  self-satisfaction,  which  is  alone  well  worth 
your  efforts,  but  you  will  find  the  world  in  general  judging  you  greatly,  if  not 
wholly,  by  your  "looks."  therefore  it  pavs  to  "look  vour  best"  at  all  times  PER- 
MIT NO  ONE  TO  SEE  YOU  LOOKING  OTHERWISE;  it  will  injure  vour  wel- 
fare! Upon  the  impression  you  constantly  make  rests  the  failure  or  success  of 
your  life.  Which  is  to  be  your  ultimate  destiny?  My  new  nose-shaper  "Trados" 
(Model  24)  corrects  now  ill-shaped  noses  without  operation  quickly,  safely  and  per- 
manently. Is  pleasant  and  does  not  interfere  with  one's  daily  occupation,  being 
worn  at  night. 

Write  today  for  free  booklet,  which  tells  you  how  to  correct  Ill-Shaped 
Noses    without    cost   if    not   satisfactory,

Lift  Corns  out 
with  Fingers 

A  few  drops  of  Freezone  loosen 
corns  so  they  peel  off 


Apply  a  few  drops  of  Freezone  upon 
a  tender,  aching  corn  or  a  callus.  The 
soreness  stops  and  shortly  the  entire 
corn  or  callus  loosens  and  can  be  lifted 
off  without  a  twinge  of  pain. 

Freefone  removes  hard  corns,  soft 
corns,  also  corns  between  the  toes  and 
hardened  calluses.  Freezone  does  not 
irritate  the  surrounding  skin.  You  feel 
no  pain  when  applying  it  or  afterward. 

A  small  bottle  of  Freezone  costs  but 
a  few   cents   at  drug  stores   anywhere.

O  MAKE  you  say  that  it's  got 
to  be  a  pretty  good  picture.  But 
these  pictures  are  not  so  rare 
as  they  used  to  be.  You've 
noticed  that. 

More  and  more  often  you  run 
across  them.  Genuine  portrayals  of  human 
virtues  and  ventures  and  folhes  and  perils  that 
are  all  the  more  fascinating  and  thrilling  be- 
cause so  clipped-from-life  as  it  were. 

The    kind    of    motion    picture    that    carries 
you  off  like  an  aeroplane — and   you've   no  de- 


sire to  get  back  to  earth  till  the  journey's  end. 

The  kind —  as  you've  probably  noticed 
also — that    bears  the  brand    name    Paramount. 

In  every  Paramount  Artcraft  Feature, 
Famous  Players-Lasky  Corporation  recognizes 
no  limits  on  the  scenes  but  the  earth.  No 
limits  on  the  machinery  but  machinery.  No 
limits  on  the  cost  but  money.  No  limits  on 
the  cast  but  artists.  No  limits  on  the  plot 
but  clean,  new  and  thrilling. 

And  that's  what  brings  the  encores  from  you!

Stage  Plays  That  Are  Worth  While 

(Readers  in  dt^litnt  tozi'iis  i^'ill  do  well  to  preserve  this  list  for  refcrenee  zuhen  these  sl^tken 
plays  appear  in  their  vicinity.) 


Astor. — Fay  Bainter  in  "East  Is  West." 
The  story  of  a  quaint  little  Chinese  maid  who 
falls  in  love  with  a  young  American.  Racial 
barriers  seem  insurmountable,  but  there  is  a 
happy  and  surprising  ending.  Has  all  the  in- 
gredients of  popular  drama.  Miss  Bainter  is 
picturesquely  pleasing. 

Booth. — "The  Purple  Mask,"  with  Leo  Dit- 
richstein.  A  stirring,  romantic  melodrama  of 
the  days  of  the  First  Consulate  in  France; 
tfuse,  colorful  and  hiprhb'  interesting.  One  of 
the  best  evening's  entertainment  in  New  York. 
Mr.  Ditrichsteiii  is  delightful  as  the  ro\'alist 
brigand,  the  Purple  Mask;  Brandon  Tynan  is 
admirable  as  the  republican  police  agent,  Bris- 
quet ;  Lily  Cahill  is  a  charming  heroine,  and 
Boots  Wooster  makes  her  bit  of  a  peasant  girl 
stand  out. 

Broadhnrst. — "Smilin'  Through,"  with  Jane 
Cowl.  An  odd,  but  effective,  drama  which  pur- 
ports to  show  how  those  who  have  gone  before 
inlluence  and  watch  over  our  lives.  Miss  Cowl 
is  exceedingly  good  as  a  piquant  Irish  girl  and 
aho  as  a  spirit  maid  whose  death  occurred 
fifty  years  before.  "Smilin'  Through"  will 
evoke  your  smiles  and  tears. 

Casino. — "The  Little  Whopper."  Lively  and 
amusing  musical  comedy  with  tuneful  score  by 
Rudolf  Friml.  Vivienne  Segal  pleasantly  heads 
the  cast,  which  also  numbers  Harry  C.  Browne, 
who  does  excellent  work.  Mildred  Richardson 
and  W.  J.  Ferguson. 

Cort. — "Abraham  Lincoln."  You  should  see 
this  if  you  see  nothing  else  on  the  New  York 
stage.  John  Drinkwater's  play  is  a  noteworthy 
literary  and  dramatic  achievement,  for  he 
makes  the  Great  American  live  again.  "Abra- 
ham Lincoln"  cannot  fail  to  make  you  a  better 
American.  Moreover,  it  is  absorbing  as  a  play. 
Frank  McGlyn,  a  discovery,  is  a  brilliant 
Lincoln. 

Comedy.  —  "My  Lady  Friends."  Highly 
amusing  entertainment,  adapted  from  a  Conti- 
nental farce.  Much  of  the  humor  is  due  to 
the  able  work  of  Clifton  Crawford  in  the  role 
of  a  guileless  young  publisher  of  Bibles  whose 
efforts  to  spend  money  get  him  into  all  sorts 
of  difficulties.  June  Walker  scores  in  Mr. 
Crawford's  support. 

Century. — ".Aphrodite."  Highly  colored  and 
lavish  presentation  of  a  drama  based  upon 
Pierre  Louys'  e.xotic  novel  of  ancient  Alexan- 
dria. Superbly  staged  adaptation  of  the  play 
that  caused  a  sensation  in  Paris.  Dorothy 
Dalton,  the  screen  star,  returns  to  the  stage  in 
the  principal  role  of  the  Galilean  courtesan, 
Chrysis,  and  scores.  McKay  Morris  is  ad- 
mirable In  the  principal  male  role.  The  ballet, 
directed  by  ilichel  Fokine,  is  spirited  and 
colorful. 

Forty-fourth  Street  Theater.  —  G.  M. 
(Broncho  Billy)  Anderson's  girl  revue,  "'The 
Frivolities  of  1920."  Lively,  speedy  musical 
show  with  a  large  measure  of  vulgarity,  but 
many  pretty  girls.  The  cast  includes  the  Kouns 
Sisters,  Doraldina,  Henry  Lewis  and  the  beau- 
tiful Doris  Lloyd. 

Eltinge. — "The  Girl  in  the  Limousine."  A 
decidedly  daring  boudoir  farce,  by  Wilson 
Collison  and  Avery  Hopwood,  in  which  a  pink 
and  white  bed  is  invaded  by  every  member  of 
the  cast  during  the  progress  of  the  evening. 
John  Cumberland  is  very  funny  and  Doris 
Kenyon,  fresh  from  the  screen,  is  both  pretty 
and  pleasing  as  the  heroine. 

Globe. — "Apple  Blossoms."  The  ambitious 
and  much  heralded  operetta  of  Fritz  Kreisler 
and  Victor  Jacobi  plus  colorful  Joseph  Urban 
settings.  An  offering  above  the  musical  aver- 
age. John  Charles  Thomas  sings  admirably. 
Wilda  Bennett  is  an  attractive  heroine  and 
Florence  Shirley  lends  a  piquant  personality 
to  the  proceedings. 

//(irnY— "Wedding  Bells."  A  tright  and 
highly  amusing  comedy  by  Salisbury  Field. 
Admirably  written  and  charmingly  played  by 
Margaret  Lawrence  and  Wallace  Eddinger. 
One  of  the  things  you  should  see. 

//i7'/>orfro))ic.— "Happy  Days."  Big  and  spec- 
tacular production  typical  of  the  Hippodrome. 
The  diving  girls  are  again  a  feature,  disporting 
in  the  huge  "Hip"  tank. 

//«</.!0)t.— "Clarence,"     Booth     Tarkington's 


delightful  comedy,  built  about  the  way  a  re- 
turned soldier  re-united  a  disturbed  but  typi- 
cally American  household.  Superb  perform- 
ances by  Alfred  Lunt,  Glenn  Hunter  and 
Helen  Ha>'es  give  the  comedy  a  fine  verve. 

Lyrie. — "The  Light  of  the  World."  A  pic- 
turesque stor_\'  of  the  passion  players,  showing 
the  effect  of  a  modern  Christus  upon  life  in 
1920.  Pedro  de  Cordoba  is  excellent  as  the 
wood-carver  who  plays  Christ  in  the  passion 
play,  Clara  Joel  is  effective  as  a  village  girl, 
and  the  remainder  of  tHe  cast  is  adequate. 
"The  Light  of  the  World"  is  impressive. 

Plymotah. — "The  Jest."  Arthur  Hopkins' 
production  of  Sem  Bcnelli's  colorful  and  grip- 
ping Florentine  drama.  John  Barrymore  is 
seen  in  his  original  role.  An  admirable  cast 
ard  Robert  Edmund  Jones'  settings  lend  splen- 
did aid. 

Prineess. — "Nightie  Night."  Described  by 
the  program  as  a  "wide  awake  farce,"  "Nightie 
Night"  lives  up  to  its  billing.  It  has  plenty  of 
A'crve  and  ginger.  There  are  scores  of  laughs. 
Heading  the  very  adequate  cast  are  Francis 
Byrne.  Suzanne  Willa,  ilalcolm  Duncan  and 
Dorothy  Mortimer. 

Sehvyn.  —  "Buddies."  Amusing  comedy- 
drama  with  music  of  the  after-armistice  days 
of  our  boys  in  France.  Roland  Y^oung,  Peggy 
Wood  and  Donald  Brian  head  the  cast.  - 

Shubert. — "The  Magic  Melody."  A  "roman- 
tic musical  play''  with  a  tuneful  score  and  a 
picturesque  Willy  Pogany  setting.  Charles 
Furcell,  Julia  Deane,  Earl  Benham  and  Car- 
mel  Myers,  the  last  two  well  known  on  the 
screen,  head  the  cast. 

Thirty-ninth  Street  Theater.  —  "Scandal," 
Cosmo  Hamilton's  daring  drama  which  Con- 
stance Talmadge  played  on  the  screen.  Fran- 
cine  Larrimore  and  Charles  Cherry  have  the 
leading  roles  in  the  excellent  footlight  produc- 
tion. 

Winter  Garden. — "The  Passing  Show  of 
1919."  A  tj-pical  girly  garden  show  in  which 
the  famous  runway  gets  plenty  of  use.  The 
revue  presents  a  number  of  travesties  upon 
current  attractions,  particularly  colorful  being 
that  of  "The  Jest,"  v\ith  Charles  Winninger 
doing  a  clever  burlesque  of  Lionel  Barrymore- 


ON  TOUR 

"T/(C  Royal  J^agabond."  A  Cohanized  opera 
comique  in  every  sense  of  the  words.  A  tune- 
ful operetta  plus  Cohan  speed,  pep  and  brash 
American  humor.  Also  tinkling  music.  And 
a  corking  cast,  with  Grace  Fisher,  Tessa  Kosta, 
John  Goldsworthy  and  Frederick  Santley. 

"The  Little  Blue  Devil."  A  musical  enter- 
tainment built  about  the  late  Clyde  Fitch's 
"The  Blue  Mouse."  Tuneful  music  by  Harold 
Atteridge  and  Harry  Carroll.  Lillian  Lorraine 
is  the  "blue  devil"  and  Bernard  Granville  is 
co-featured. 

"Civilian  Clothes."  A  delightful  comedy  to 
please  everybody.  Brand  new  idea  and  cleverly 
worked  out.  Thurston  Hall  in  the  title  role 
shares  the  honors  with  beautiful  Olive  Tell. 
Support  excellent. 

Elsie  Janis  and  "her  gang."  Lively  enter- 
tainment built  about  the  experiences  of  the 
.\.  E.  F.  on  the  other  side.  Well  put  together 
by  Miss  Janis,  who  shines  w'ith  decided  bright- 
ness.    A  pleasant  entertainment. 

Shubert.  E.  H.  Sothern  and  Julia  Marlowe 
in  Shakespearean  repertoire.  These  artists 
represent  the  best  traditions  of  our  theater  and 
their  revivals  of  "Twelfth  Night."  "Hamlel," 
and  "The  Taming  ot  the  Shrew"  are  distin- 
guished in  every  sense  of  the  word. 

"See-Sa7!.i"  A  pleasant  musical  entertain- 
ment. The  delightful  Elizabeth  Hines  stands 
out  and  Dorothy  itackaye  is  pleasantly  cast. 

"Moonlight  and  Honeysuekle."  Ruth  Chat- 
terton  in  a  charming  comedy  that  might  have 
been  a  big  hit  had  the  playwright  taken  full 
advantage  of  some  splendid  situations  in  the 
last  act.  As  it  is  it  starts  like  a  hare  and  ends 
like  a  tortoise. 

"An  E.\-change  of  Wives."  Another  Cosmo 
Hamilton  comedy  which,  however,  never  at- 
tains the  spontaneity  or  piquancy  of  "Scandal."

Stage  Plays  That  Are  Worth  While 

(.Continued  from  page  6) 

The  chief  blush  producer  is  a  scene  on  a  sleep- 
ing pnrcli. 

"The  Better  'Ole.'*  The  Coburn  production 
of  the  tuusical  comedy  based  upon  Bruce 
Hairnsfatlicr's  now  immortal  cartoon  creation, 
Old  Bill.  Mr.  Coburn's  characterization  of  Bill 
is  still  as  remarkable  as  ever. 

"A  Lonely  Ronien,"  with  Lew  Fields.  A  i 
light  show  running  in  the  usual  groove.  Fran- 
ces Cameron,  who  is  developing  remarkably, 
is  the  bright  figure  of  "A  Lonely  Romeo," 
while  Mr.  Fields  is  his  humorous  self.  There's 
a  decidedly  funny  scene  in  a  men's  hat  shop. 

"Chu  Chiiu  Ctww."  An  opulent  and  beauti- 
ful musical  extravaganza  based  upon  the 
.Arabian  Nights  tale  of  .Mi  Baba  and  the  Forty 
Thieves.  Dazzling  series  of  sensuous  stage 
pictures.  "Chu  Chu  Chow"  is  presented  this 
year  with  an  entirely  new  edititm  and  new  cos- 
tumes. Marjorie  Wood  makes  a  colorful 
desert  woman,  Lionel  Brahain  is  very  effervi\*e 
as  the  robber  sheik  and  Eugene  Cowles  makes 
the  role  of  steward  stand  iDut.  George  Rosely 
plays  the  young  lover  admirably. 

"La  La  Lueille."  Musical  comedy  built 
around  the  efforts  of  a  loving  couple  to  arrange 
a  divorce  in  order  to  live  up  to  the  terms  of  a 
millionaire  aunt's  will.  A  co-respondent  is  en- 
gaged and  troubles  begin. 

The  Shubert  Gaieties  of  igig.  A  lively  revue 
with  scores  of  statuesque  girls  and  stunning 
frocks.     A  decidedly  attractive  entertainment. 

"John  Ferguson."  A  vigorous  drama  that 
compares  favorably  with  anything  of  the  kind 
that  New  York  has  seen  for  years.  Beautifiilly 
staged  and  acted.  Masterpieces  of  this  kind 
should  be  liberally  patronized  to  encourage 
others. 

George  White's  "Seandals  of  1919.  All 
sorts  and  variations  of  dancing  make  up  ior 
a  lack  of  story  or  humor.  The  real  star  is 
piquant  little  Ann  Pennington— as  seductive  a 
little  jazzer  as  ever  shimmied  on  Broadiv.ay. 
Then  there's  the  lively  dancing  of  Mr.  White 
himself. 

"Friendiv  Enemies."  This  is  the  record- 
breaking  comedy  drama  of  last  season,  with 
Louis  Mann  in  his  original  role. 

-Three  ll'ise  Fools."  .Austin  Strongs  hu- 
man little  drama  of  three  crusty  old  bachelors 
who  are  bequeathed  a  joung  woman  and  who 
are  subsequently  rejuvenated.  Melodrama 
with  a  heart  throb.  Helen  Menken  gives  a 
striking  performance  of  the  nerve-racked  hero- 
ine, while  Claude  Gillingwater  is  a  delightfully 
testy  old  Teddv  Findley. 

"Site's  a  Good  Fcllozi:"  A  light  but  pleasant 
musical  comedy  built  about  the  efforts  of  old 
folks  to  break  up  a  marriage  between  a  loving 
young  couple.  Joseph  Santley  is  a  likeable 
iover-husband.  masquerading  in  skirts  for  a 
whole  act.  Ivy  Sawver,  the  very  pleasing  Ann 
Orr  and   Scott   Welsh   lend   delightful   assist- 

"i9  East."  A  charrmng  comedy  founded  on 
a  boarding  school  romance  in  which  many  in- 
teresting characters  make  love-making  difticult 
for  a  pair  of  young  lovers.  . 

"['/'  ill  Ii[ahel's  Room."  Piquant,  daring  biit 
decidedly  amusing  farce  built  about  the  pursuit 
of  a  daiiitv  pink  undergarment  which  bears  the 
same  name  as  a  recent  jazz  dance.  Admirable 
cast   including  the  radiant  Hazel  Dawn. 

"Three  Faees  East."  Another  Secret  Ser- 
vice-German spy  drama,  this  one  by  Anthony 
Paul  Kelly,  one' of  our  most  successful  photo- 
playwrights.  The  principal  charm  of  this  play 
is  in  trying  to  guess  who  are  the  German  spies 
and  wlio  are  the  Allies,  just  as  we  were  puzzlctl 
in  "Cheating  Cheaters"  to  know  who  were 
burglars  and  who  were  not.

— delivered  in  our  best  oratori-

Ladies  and  Geiitlettten: 

Owing  to  the  congested  condi-

by  their  recent  strike — and  in  an 
endeavor  to  catch  up  with  our 
customary  schedule,  we  regret  to 
announce  that  there  will  be  no 
.ipril  issue  of  that  most  welcome 
of  visitors,  The  Motion  Pic-

But 


We  also  wish  to  announce  that 
we  will  issue  on  the  First  Day  of 
Jpril,  1920  {mark  the  date 
with  red  ink  on  your  calendar) , 
a  unique  feature  in  the  magazine 
world — to  be  known  as  The 
April-May  Issue  of  The  Mo- 
tion Picture  Magazine! 

This  will  be  a  two-in-one  maga- 
zine, and  the  subscribers  of  The 
Motion  Picture  Magazine 
will  have  no  reason  to  regret  the 
missing  one,  when  this  one  will 
be  released.

Millions  of  People  Can  Write 
Stories  and  Photoplays  and 

Don  t  Know  It  / 


THIS  is  ihe  startling  assertion  recciitly 
made  by  E.  H.  Davison  of  New  York, 
one  of  the  highest  paid  writers  in  the 
world.  Is  his  astonishing  statement 
true?  Can  it  be  possible  there  are  countless 
thousands  of  people  yearning  to  write,  who 
really  cnn  and  simply  haven't  found  it  out? 
Well,  come  to  think  of  it,  most  anybody  can  tcU 
a  story.  Why  can't  most  anybody  ivrite  a  story? 
W'hy  is  writing  supposed  to  be  a  rare  gift  that 
few  possess?  Isn't  this  only  another  of  the 
Mistaken  Ideas  the  past  has  handed  down  to 
lis?  Yesterday  nobody  dreamed  man  could  fly. 
To-day  he  dives  like  a  swallow  ten  thousand 
feet  above  the   e^irth   and  laughs   down   at   the

For  writing  isn't  only  for  geniuses  as  most 
people  think.  Don't  yon  bcliczc  the  Creator 
gm'c  you.  a  story-ivritiug  faculty  just  as  He  did 
the  C"'*'<'test  ivriter?  Only  maybe  you  are  simply 
"blutled"  by  the  thought  that  you  "haven't  the 
gift."  Many  people  arc  simply  afraid  to  ivy. 
Or  if  they  do  try,  and  their  first  efforts  don't 
satisfy,  ihey  simply  give  up  in  despair,  and  that 
ends  it.  They're  through.  They  never  try 
again.  Yet  if.  by  some  lucky  chance,  they  had 
first  learned  the  simple  rules  of_  writing,  and 
then  given  the  imagination  free  rein,  they  might 
have  astonished  tlie  world ! 


LISTEN!  A  wonderful  FREE  hook  has  recently  been 
written  on  this  very  subject — a  book  that  tells  all 
J  aloiut  the  Irving  System — a  Startling  New  Easy 
Miihod  of  Writing  Stories  and  Photoplays.  This 
amazing  bouk,  called  "The  IVotidcr  Book  for  il'riters," 
shows  how  easily  stories  and  plays  are  conceived,  written, 
perfected,  sold.  How  many  who  don't  dream  they  can 
write,  suddenly  find  it  out.  How  the  Scenario  Kings  and 
the  Story  Queens  live  and  work.  How  bright  men  and 
women,  without  any  special  experience,  learn  to  their  own 
amazement  that  their  simplest  Ideas  may  furnish  brilliant 
plots  for  Plays  and  Stories.  How  one's  own  Imagination 
may  provide  an  endless  gold  mine  of  Ideas  that  bring 
Happy  Success  and  Handsome  Cash  Royalties.  How  new 
writers  get  their  names  into  print.  How  to  tell  if  you 
ARE  a  writer.  How  to  develop  your  "story  fancy," 
weave  clever  word-pictures  and  unique,  thrilling,  realistic 
plots.  How  your  friends  may  be  your  worst  judges.  How 
to  avoid  discouragement  and  the  pitfalls  of  Failure.

Mae,  Mary  and 
Matrimony    * 


MARY  had  just  been  put  to  bed. 
We  sat  at  the  dining-room  table — I.Iae  Marsh 
Arms,  her  husband,  little  Mary's  nurse  and  I. 
Quaint  candles  illuminated  the  room  with  flickering, 
home-like  gleams. 

Across  the  table  we  caught  the  glow  in  Mrs. 
Marsh  Arms'  eyes.  We  had  interviewed  the  Mae 
Marsh  of  picturedom  at  least  several  times  before, 
but  this  was  a  new  Mae  Marsh. 

Where  once  flashed  a  rollicking  glow  of  mischief 
now  burned  a  new  and  steady  light.  And  we 
listened ; ,  , 

"Mary  is  wonderful !"  exclaimed  Mamma  Marsh. 

"Yes,  indeed,"  echoed  Papa  Marsh. 

"Did  nurse  tell  you  how  splendid  she  was  today?" 
said  mamma,  turning  to  papa. 

Papa  shook  his  head  enthusiastically.    "You  bet !" 

"She  just  loves  strangers "  began  mamma. 

"Not  a  bit  like  most  whiney  kids,"  interrupted 
papa. 

Every  one  says  she's  awfully  different,"  smiled 
mamma,  proudly. 

"Yes,  indeed,"  echoed  papa. 

We  caught  our  breath.  A  year  or  so  had  certainly 
transformed  the  hc^denish  Mae.  Plumper,  more 
rounded,  there  was  a  new  dignity  here.  And  that 
wonderful  light  in  her  eyes ! 

We  asked  the  once-so-wistful  star  of  the  screen 
how  she  liked  married  life. 

"Great!"  she  exclaimed.     "I  simply  cant  under-

stand  why  every  one  isn't  mar- 
ried. I  love  it — and  Mary — 
more  than  all  the  world  put 
together." 

"And  you  wouldn't  change — " 

"Not  for  millions,"  she  an- 
swered, fairly  aghast.  "Of 
course,  I  am  returning  to  the 
screen,  but  I  am  taking  Mary 
along  with  me.  All  the  photo- 
plays in  the  world  couldn't 
separate  us. 

"I  believe  all  this  happiness 
— and  Mary — have  made  me  a 
better  actress.  They  couldn't 
fail  to  do  that.  Why,  I  didn't 
begin  to  know  the  depths  and 
the  heights  of  life  before  Mary 
came.  Now  it  is  as  if  a  curtain 
had  been  drawn  aside  and  all 
life's  possibilities  lay  before 
me. 

"I  may  never  again  be  suc- 
cessful on  the  screen  from  the 
standpoints  of  appeal  and  per- 
sonality, but  I  cannot  fail  to  be 
just  a  bit  belter  actress.  For  I 
understand  a  little  of  life  now." 

"Ethel  Barrymore  once  said 
something  like  that,"  we  re- 
minded. 

"And  it  is  true.  Life  was  a 
thing  of  pleasures  and  whims — 
to  be  tasted  as  "pleasant  pr  un- 
pleasant, and  passed  on.  But — 
think  of  it — Mary  is  upstairs 
asleei) — my  own  little  Mary — 
my  husband  is  here  and  I  am 
infinitely  happy. 

"I  am  going  to  do  my  best 
to  he  successful  in  the  films 
upon  my  return.  I  know  I 
shall,  if  I  can  only  make  a  frac- 
tion of  my  happiness  shine  out 
of  my  work." 

Little  Mary  is  jflst  six 
months  old.  We  asked  her 
mother  if  she  wanted  Mary  to 
be  an  actress.  Papa  Arms, 
who  is  a  newspaper  man, 
smiled. 

"If  she  wants  to  be  an  ac- 
tress, of  course,  I  shall  help 
her,"  mamma  answered. 

"I  think  ahe  is  going  to  be  a 
writer,"  said  papa,  proudly. 
"When  I  sit  down  at  night 
with  her  in  my  arms  and  open 
a  nevs's[)aper,  Mary's  joy  is  complete 
I  can  tell  you." 

The  Marsh-Arms  have  been  spending  the  past  summer  at  For- 
ist  Hills.  There  Mae  Marsh  has  been  resting.  No  pictures  did 
she  see  all  thru  the  year,  of  course.  "I'm  having  a  perfect  orgy 
of  picture-going  now,-  and  I'm  hunting  everywhere  to  see 
'Broken  Blossoms,'  'The  Miracle  Man'  and  all  the  other  big 
things  I  have  missed.    I  simply  must  see  them  all." 

At  this  writing  Mamma  Marsh,  plus  papa  and  Mary,  are

about  to  start  for  the  coast,  where  Mae 
will  again  return  to  the  Cooper-Hewitts. 

"We  haven't  found  exactly  the  right 
story  yet,"  said  papa.  Just  then  a  sound 
came  from  the  upper  regions  of  the 
.\rms'  mansion.  Mamma  and  nurs.e 
dashed  Mary-ward.

ISTRODUCiNG   THE  REAL  TOMMIE: 

Thomas  MeighaH  is  0"'"9  lo  •"<"■  shortly,  the  Tommic  you 
have  come  lo  love  in  "The  Miracle  Man,"  "Mole  and  female" 
and  other  photodramas.  That  alone  isn't  farlicularly  startling. 
But  the  fact  thai  Tominie  has  reached  stardom — and  retained 
his  human  vietvpoini — is.  Thus  it  is  that  we  lake  unusual 
pleasure  in  saying: 

"Mr.,  Mrs.,  and  Miss  Classic  Reader,  meet  Mr.  Tommie 
Meighan." 


THE  quote  marks  are  discreetly  placed  to  the  fore  and  aft 
of  the  title  lest  the  stigma  of  an  undue  familiarity  be 
ascribed  to  the  wholly  humble  and  well-meaning  scrivener 
thereof.  At  any  rate  and  all  rates,  the  quotes  belong, 
because  .  .   . 

I  took  tea  with  Thomas  Meighan  at  the  Claridge,  late  one 
afternoon,  lately.  During  the  Course  of  the  chicken  sand- 
wiches and  the  conversation  we  touched  upon  the  oft-discussed 
fact  that  simplicity  is  the  outward  and  visible  sign  of  all  true 
greatness.  Thomas  had  with  him  a  letter  from  a  very  well- 
known  editor  of  this  city.  It  began  "Dear  Tommie,"  and  I 
thought,  "How  fitting."  It  contained,  too,  a  pithy  paragraph 
anent  our  subject  of  greatness ;  i.e.,  simplicity,  and  it  went  on 
to  say  that  in  some  few  years  "Dear  Tommie"  hadn't  changed 
a  jot.  It  said  it  much  more  cleverly  than  that,  you  under- 
stand. It  was  more  to  the  point  and  it  didn't  use  the  word 
"jot,"  but  the  gist  of  it  was  the  abiding  simplicity  of  Tommie 
with  the  necessarily  accompanying  innuendo.  It  occurred 
to  me,  still  further,  that,  ten  years  or  more  from  now,  there 
will  perhaps  be  another  letter,  other  letters,  and  that  they  will 
say  "Dear  Tommie,  you  haven't  changed  a  bit." 

The  boy,  Tommie,  is  very  illy  concealed  by  the  man, 
Thoma^. 

And,  still  rnore  pertinent,  Tommie  has  an  abounding  sense 
of  humor.  It  is  a  powei'fiiH  lens,  a  sense  of  humor,  and  it 
does  hot  permit  the  greatest  of  us  to  be  set  very  high  in  our 
own  esteem. 

Tommie  has  been  married,  he  told  me,  for  ten

did  not  ask  me  to  censor  the  statement  in  my  written  word, 
either.  The  ten  years,  happy  years,  I  take  it,  from  the  twinkle 
in  his  eye,  have  been  dedicated  to  Frances  Ring.  "She's  got 
something  up  here,"  he  told  me,  touching  his  forehead.  I 
asked  him,  awed  by  the  ten  years,  what  he  thought  the  secret 
of  marital  success  really  was— or  is.  I  felt  that  the  decade 
entitled  him  to  some  ripe  philosophizing.  He  answered  me, 
"A  sense  of  humor."  He  went  on  to  say  that  he  considered  it 
the  really  vital  thing.  He  said  that  it  must  exist  if  the  matri- 
monial ship  is  to  escape  the  reefs  and  shoals.  One  doesn't 
fight,  he  said,  when  one  can  laugh.  It  makes  for  true  cama- 
raderie.   It  removes  all  stings.    It  is  the  real  solvent. 

I  asked  him  what  he  thought  his  own  success  was  due  to, 
what  intrinsic  thing  within  himself. 

He  waved  a  pro- 
testing hand  when  I 
articulated  the  word 
success,  but  I  was  well 
fortified  with  chicken 
sandwiches  and  con- 
siderable orange  pe- 
koe, and  I  persisted.  I 
was  there  to  push  my 

?uestions,and  I  believe 
can  say,  modestly, 
XhAtl  pushed.  I  had  to,

However,  as  I  say, 
I  did  persist  ,  .  . 

After  a  tentative  waiv- 
ing of  the  word  success, 
he  said,  "Such  as  it  is — to  my 
mother  and  father^' 

I  asked  him  why.  What 
particular  thing  or  things  they 
had  done  for  him.  "Just  be- 
cause they  were  what  they 
were,"  he  answered,  "right- 
thinking,  clean-living,  regular 
people.  Being  with  them  was 
enough." 

We  paid  the  small  tribute 

of  a  momentary  silence  to  the 

memory  of  his  mother,  who 

had  died  six  weeks  before, 

I  wanted  to  know  whether 

(EighUen)

he  really  loved  the  work  he  was  doing,  and  what  he  hopes  to  do 
in  the  future,  along  what  line  or  lines  and,  particularly,  whether 
he  has  any  aspirations  along  the  directorial  line. 

He  is,  you  know,  a  very  pleasant  sort  of  person,  with  a  light- 
some smile  and  an  easy  manner,  or  he  might  have  gently  evicted 
me  from  the  further  consumption  of  food  and  time  as  a  human 
interrogation  and  therefore  not  accountable.  Instead  of  which 
he  was  smilingly  informative. 

He  hadn't  cared  much  about  his 
work,  he  admitted  frankly,  until 
quite  recently.  Hadn't,  at  all 
events,  taken  the  same  deep  interest 
in  it  he  takes  now,  felt  the  same

Meighan  says  he  owes  all  his  suc- 
cess to  his  mother  and  father. 
"Just  because  they  were  what  they 
were,"  he  says,  "right-thinking, 
dean-living,  regular  people.  Being 
with  them  was  enough."  As  re- 
gards success,  Meighan  remarks: 
"a  well-known  person  can  never 
go  out  and  have  a  thoroly  good 
time,  when  and  where  and  with 
whom  he  pleases" 


impelling  charm.  Then, 
too,  so  many  and  such 
limitless  possibilities 
have  opened  up  to  him 
recently.  "The  Miracle 
Man,"  he  said,  is  the 
type  of  work  he  wants 
to  do,  his  line  ...  He 
has  no  desire  to  go  back 
to  the  stage,  very  much 
contrariwise.  He'd  have 
stage-fright,  he  declared. 
Facing  an  audience  — 
whew '  After  working  in 
the  rather  clubby  fash- 
ion of  the  studios.  As 
for  being  a  director  .  .  . 
"To  my  mind,"  he  said,  "there  are  three  absolutely  essential 
factors  in  the  make-up  of  a  really  great  director.  The  first  is 
imaginalion.  The  second  is  concentration.  The  third  is  appli- 
cation. I  haven't  any  one  of  the  three.  I  guess  that  lets 
me  out." 

"I  dont  believe  you  haven't  any  one  of  them,"  I  said;  "the 
first,  now  ..." 
"Oh,  well,"  he  said,  with  a  smile,  "I'm  Irish  ..." 
The  Little  Pejple  have  flocked  for  too  many  idyllic  centu- 
ries over  Ireland  .   .   .  too  many  banshees  have  wailed  on  too 
many  moon-white  nights  .   .   .  legends  with  thrills  and  throbs 
of  a  wild  beauty  have  been  too  rife  for  one  of  Ireland's  sons 
to  disclaim  imagination  now. 
"Well,  then,"  I  prompted. 
"Well,  the  other  two — the  majority,  you  know — applicatioti

and  concentration,  I  haven't  a  vestige  of  either 
one  of  them.     Besides,  I  haven't,  honestly,  the 

^^^    -       desire.     I'm  content  to  leave  the   directing  to 

iS^^        others — Griffith  and  De  Mille  and  George  Loane 

t^fr         Tucker,  and  men  like  them." 

.^fffr  I  asked  him,  while  we  were  sky-rocketing  with 

^▼*  the  subject  of  success,  whether  he  thought  a  high 

price   of   some   sort   or  other   was   necessarily 

attached  thereto. 

"I  do,"  he  said;  "for  one  thing,  the  loss  of  personal  liberiy. 
Imagine,  for  instance,  coming  here  for  tea  with  Charlie 
Chaplin.  You'd  be  mobbed  in  a  great  many  places ;  in  almost 
all  places  you'd  be  so  whispered  about  and  nudged  about 
and  openly  and  overtly  stared  at  that  you'd  have  acute  in- 
digestion before  you  got  hold  of  the  tea-card.  A  person 
with  all  that  success  can  never  go  out  and  have  a  thoroly 
good  time,  when  and  where  and  with  whom  he  pleases. 
There's  a  sort  of  barrier  built  and  there's  no  getting  past 
it.  It's  distinctly  a  limited  sphere  while  seeming  to  be  with- 
out limit." 

Then,  too,  a  certain  loss,  I  think,  of  perspective. 

Rose-colored  glasses,  in  a  sense,  even  tho  we  may  be  wholly 
unaware  that  we  are  wearing  them,  or  that  they  have  been 
placed  upon  the  bridge  of  our,  so  to  speak,  nose. 

We  gaze,  at  times,  from  a  figurative  Woolworth  and  the 
good  substantial  horses  and  drays  and  other  matter-of-fact- 
nesses  seem  lost  in  a  sort  of  blur. 

Tommie  has  not  lost  his.  There  is  no  blur,  of  rose  or  other- 
wise, upon  his  figurative  glasses. 

"Dear  Tommie"  is  going  to  star  this  coming  year.  He  be- 
lieves, he  says,  that  starring  will  show  a  considerable  change 
in  his  work.  "A  great  many  of  the  best  bits  of  the  cast  are 
often  and  necessarily  cut  out  for  the  fuller  benefit  of  the  star," 
he  explained,  "and,  quite  often,  work  I  have  done  has  seemed 
stolid  for  that  very  reason.  When  I  am  doing  my  own  starring 
such  will  not  be  the  case,  so  I'm  hoping." 

Tommie  will  be  interesting  to  watch,  but  what  is  more  and 
better,  I  believe,  with  the  well-known  editor,  that  he  will 
always  be  just  about  the  same  to  know  .  .  .  essentially, 
come  what  may  come,  "Dear  Tommie — You  haven't  changed 
a  bit!" 


"I've  always  wanted  to 
work  for  Micky  Nei- 
lan,"  says  M  a  r  j  o  r  i  e 
Daw.  So  her  present 
engagement  means  that 
her  dreams  have  come 
true.  "I  nearly  died 
with  joy  when  it  all 
really  happened,"  she 
admits 


MARjORit;  Daw  isn't 
her  real  name  at 
all!  Cecil  De 
Mille  gave  it  to  her 
several  years  ago  when 
she  first  came  to  the 
Lasky  studio.  With 
his  prophetic  eye,  he 
probably  saw  that  it 
would    look    better    in 

electric  lights  when  she  grew  up  and  became  a 
star,  than  her  own,  which  is  much  longer.  Any- 
way, this  sweet  little  name  just  suits  her,  and 
tho  it  has  not  vet  flashed  in  electrics,  it  has  ap- 
l)eared  in  very  black  type  on  many  programs,  for 
her  career  has  progressed  by  leaps  and  bounds 
and  she  has  played  with  many  of  the  best  known 
film  stars  of  the  day. 

Great  things  are  predicted  for  this  young  girl, 
whose  spontaneity  makes  her  characters  live  and 
breathe  upon  the  screen,  bringing  youthful  ro- 
mance vividly  before  our  e^es. 

"Isn't  it  wonderful?"  questioned  Marjorie, 
dancing  about  in  girlish  enthusiasm. 

I  agreed  with  fervor,  even  while  I  secretly  won- 
dered if  she  referred  to  the  very  .smart  frock  she 
was  wearing,  an  adoi'able  navy  tricotine,  which  was 
one  of  her  purchases  during  a  recent  trip  to  New 
York,  or  the  artistic  dressing-room,  newly  deco- 
rated especially  for  her  at  Marshall  Neilan's  quaint 
little  studio  in  Hollywood,  or,  indeed,  her  splendid

contract  in  which  she  is  to  appear  in  this  young 
producer's  pictures. 

"It  is  so  cheerful,"  she  continued,  as  her 
eyes  swept  the  large,  sunny  room,  with  its 
wicker  furniture  and  gay  cretonnes,  while  thru 
the  open  ■  windows  could  be  seen  rows  of 
flaming  dahlias  and  lovely  lawns.  "I  adore 
colors.  They  spur  me  on,  and  these  ducky 
yellow  lights  are  warm  and  cozy.  Oh,  but  just 
look  here;  this  is  the  very  best  of  all,"  and, 
dashing  to  a  door,  she  led  me  into  the  most 
perfectly  equipped  little  kitchen  imaginable. 
"I've  never  had  time  to  learn  to  cook,  but  now 
I  am  so  enthused  that  I  want  to  learn  every- 
thing all  at  once  so  I  can  invite  my  friends  in 
to  a  studio  luncheon.  Micky  thinks  this  is  a 
huge  joke,  but  I'll  show  him. 

"Always,"  Marjorie  went  on,  seriously, 
after  we  had  returned  to  the  dressing-room, 
"I  have  wanted  to  be  in  Micky  Neilan's  com- 
pany. I  remember,  *vhen  I  was  just  a  little 
girl  at  the  Lasky  studio,  how  I  would  slip 
around  and  watch  him  directing  Mary  Pick- 
ford,  just  hoping  and  hoping  that  some  day  I, 
too,  could  be  under  his  direction.  I  nearly 
died  of  joy  when  it  all  really  happened.

"We're  making  a  greai  picture 
nov/,  'The  River's  End,'  "  she  rattled 
on,  with  her  contagious  enthusiasm, 
"and  my  role  is  light  comedy.  I'm 
an  English  girl,  and  everybody  loves 
me  down  to  the  Chinese  cook.  I 
wear  pretty  clothes  and  have  a  beau- 
tiful time.  Why,  I  even  ride  horse- 
back— in  a  stilfl"  and  she  laughed 
gaily. 

"Our  whole  company  is  wonder- 
ful, all  working  together  like  one  big 
family,  and  even  the  camera-man, 
who  is  a  dear,  tells  me  when  to  put 
more  soul  into  my  eyes. 

"Micky  is  so  boyish,  with  a  reg^ular 
Peter  Pan  sense  of  youth,  and  he  is 
always  joking  :  id  'kidding.'  He  sees 
life  at  its  best,  and  one  of  his  rules 
is  never  to  lose  his  temper  while 
working,  and  he  lives  up  to  this 
faithfully." 

"The  trip  to  New  York — was  it  all 
you  had  anticipated?'"  I  asked. 

"IVas  it?"  jumping  to  her  feet  to 
give  added  emphasis.  "It  was  won- 
derfull  I  went  and  went,  and  saw 
ana  saiv,  and  everything  was  so  ex- 
citing," and  Marjorie  dropped  back 
into  her  chair,  subsiding  for  a  mo- 
ment after  this  ecstatic  explosion. 

Then  followed  an  animated  ac- 
count of  the  shops  and  the  styles,  the 
new  plays  and  the  interesting  people 
she  had  met,  all  from  a  girlish  view- 
point so  refreshing  that  it  seemed  to 
sweep  everything  old  and  sordid 
from  the  map. 

She  confessed  that  she  found  her- 
self judging  those  splendid  Gotham 
hotels  and  cafes  by  the  quality  of 
their  ice-cream,  this  being  her  fad  of 
the  moment. 

"Down  in  Greenwich  Village,"  she 
told  me,  eagerly,  "I  found  a  new 
kind,  queerish  and  delicious,  made 
by  a  secret  process  or  something, 
and  I  couldn't  describe  it  in  a  hun- 
dred years,  so  it  is  just  a  memory  to 
dream  about," 


and  again  came 
the  gay  laugh.

Scotch  and  Seltzer 


TEN  o'clock  in  the  morning,  and  the  maid  said  he  hadn't 
as  yet  wakened.    A  half-hour's  wait,  and  at  length  a 
sleepy-eyed  young  gentleman  clad  for  tennis,  and  be- 
moaning the  fact  that  three  old-fashioned,  very  rare,  hand- 
blown  glass  bottles,  sent  him  by  express  from  the  East, 
were  broken  in  transit. 

"I'm  all  disheartened,"  quoth  the  insouciant  Mr.  Kerry. 
"I  cant  replace  'em." 

"Oh,  yes,  you   can,"   I   replied.     "The   Olde   Curiositie 
Shoppe  on  Sixth  Street  has  a  couple  just  like  them.     Four 
dollars  apiece,  but  I  imagine  you  can  'Jew  'em  down.'  " 
"Righto !" 

And  the  insouciantly  broken-hearted  Mr.  Kerry  became 
happy  again.  You  see,  I  didn't  have  to  go  thru  the  formal- 
ity of  an  introduction.  Norman  and  I  have  been  friends 
for  some  time.  In  fact,  I  quite  well  remember  the  time  that 
he  sang  a  sobby  song  to  me  at  my  table  in  a  Los  Angeles 
cafe.  That's  how  I  met  him.  He  thought  I  was  some  one 
else,  and  when  I  told  him  I  wasn't,  he  said  he  didn't  give 
a  whoop;  we  were  friends  anyhow. 

Being  of  the  sex  that  wears  sox  and  a  mustache,  I  was 
at  once  enjoined  to  languish  in  his  chambre  A  coucher, 
where  he  keeps  his  art  treasures  and  which  looks  like  a 
cross  between  the  peacock-room  of  the  late  Empress  of 
China  and  the  studio  of  a  Bolshevik 
artist.  Purple  and  grey  hangings  on  the 
four  windows,  funny  little  doo-dabs,  that 
Norm  told  me  are  i<cry  valuable,  on  the 
tabouret  which  stands  at  the  head  of  his 
bed.  I  thought  that  probably  they'd 
contain  incense,  or  something  like  that, 
but  I  found  they  held  cigarets.  And — 
keep  this  quiet,  mates — there's  a  table 
which  looks  like  an  escritoire  standing 
along  one  of  the  walls  which  caches 
what,  in  these  Saharaesque  days,  is 
mintly — a  cut-glass  carafe  filled  with 
spirituous  liquor. 

"Have  a  drink?"  His  forethought 
was  really  remarkable.  Personally,  I 
am  never  known  to  refuse.  Neither  is 
Norman.  We  both  of  us  are  Scotch,  and 
Scotch  always  finds  itself  in  seltzer. 

"And  now,  what  do  you  know  about 
women  ?" 

I  knew  it  would  get  him  started.    He 
has  every  feminine  heart  in  Hollywood 
fluttering  when  he  makes  his  appearance 
at   the   hotel   dances   or   dines   publicly. 
And  the  high  school  sub-debs  blush  and  cast  their  eyes 
to  the  ground  with  what  authors  are  prone  to  call  maid- 
enly ingenuousness  when  he  passes  them  on  the  street, 
and  I've  heard  'em  sigh   over  him.     Gosh,  girls,   it's 
awful! 

"The  dear  things!" 

"Well,  what  about  'em  ?"  quoth  I,  interviewally. 
"I  love  them  all.     Except  the  vampires ;  they're  too 
obvious.    The  girl  to  vamp  me  is  the  baby  blonde.    Then 
I  know  I'm  getting  vamped,  and  I  enjoy  it." 

What  is  a  vamp?    Kipling  calls  her  the  rag-bone- 
hank.    Gautier  refers  to  her  as  a  disappointed  mis- 
tress.   Kerry  to  the  fore,  thusly: 

Vampire — Thisbe  minus  the  hole  in  the  wall ; 

Melisande  without  her  Pelleas.    In  other 

words,    an    unnecessary    female,    who 

makes  life  more 

unpleasant    for 

■■■,''•■'        herself   than    for 

those  whom  she'd 

like  to  "wreck." 

And   with  this

'■  high-;nincled  ideal,  perhaps  you  may  draw  the  conclusion 
;  I  that  Mr.  Kerry  is  in  the  matrimonial  market,  or  that  his 
I  "Wanted — A  wife"  ad  appears  in  the  daily  papers.    Huh-uh  I 
Kerry  is  more  or  less  "afraid  of  women.    He  says  so  him- 
self; also,  that  he  likes  his  liberty. 

"For  that  simple  reason  I've  never  been  married.    I  may, 
and  I  may  not  be,  but  if  I  were,  I'd  bow  to  my  superior. 

"I  hate  that  word   'superior,'  and  personally,   I   fail  to 
recognize  any  of  this  so-called  'superiority'  in  the  oppo- 
■  site  sex.     In  California,  where  women  vote,  they're  quite 
I  an  equal,  but  superior — huh  !" 
I      "But  are  they  superior?"  I  back-fired. 
I       "Certainly — if  you  love  them.     I  mean,  a  man's  wife  is 
I  always  his  superior,  for  the  reason  that  he  wouldn't  have 
married  her  if  he  didn't  recognize  in  her  qualities  which  he 
fails  to  possess  and   wishes   to  acquire.     And   then,   too, 
(jrandes  passions  are   as   rare   as   masterpieces,   and   very 
few  men  are  geniuses." 
"And  what  about  the  cave-man?    Like  to  be  one?" 
"Hot  doggie!     If  I  were  married,  there  would  be  only 
one  pair  of  trousers  in  the  house,  and  I'd  be  in  'em.     A 
man  is  born  to  be  a  soldier,  as  lie  is  to  be  the  head  of  his 
house.     If  he  gives  up  his  life  for  his 
country,  he's  bound   to  do  so   for-  his 
marriage,  and,  according  to   I'.merson, 
everything  has  its  comjiensation — eVen, 
in   this   case,    if    it's   only    paying   the 
checks.     And    that's    why    I'm    single. 
I've  nevtr  wanted  to  s|)oil  a  woman's 
illusions." 

As  Kerry  and  I  discussed  pro  and 
con  the  woman  question,  Norm  skimmed 
thru  a  few  dozen  fan  letters.  At  one 
of  them  he  laughed.  Handing  it  to 
me,  I  read  that  a  shop  girl  in  .St.  Louis 
would  like  to  marry  him.  In  fact,  she 
openly  stated  that  she  idolizes  him. 
Another  heartachel' 

"Doesn't  it  give  you  a  thrill  to  be 
idolized  ?" 

"Huh-uh.   Lions  are  good  for  only  one 
season.    ,\s  soon  as  their  manes  are  cut 
they  are  the  dulk'st  creatures  extant." 
"Rut  why  keep  the  fair  sex  in  sus- 
pense?" 

"That's  just  why  I'm  telling  you  all

"Women  are  superior — if  you 
love  them,"  says  Kerry.  "A 
man's  wife  is  always  his  supe- 
rior, for  the  reason  that  he 
wouldn't  have  married  her  if  he 
didn't  recoenize  in  her  qualities 
which  he  fails  to  possess  and 
wishes  to  acquire."

Olive  has  opinions  and  tastes,  discrininiating 
ones  and  enthusiasms  tempered  with  a  reallv 
good  sense  of  color  effects  and  general 
schemes.  She  knows  what  slie  wants  and  how 
she  wants  it,  and  also  how  to  go  ahout  ac- 
quiring what  she  wants.  There  is  a  certain 
directness  ahout  her  despite  her  most  pal-

small  child  in  a  mammoth  toy  shop,  given, 
suddenly,  carte  blanche. 

Her  long,  .spacious  living-room,  with  win- 
dows across  the  entire  front  of  it,  overlooks 
the  park.    It  is  carpeted  in  a  soft  French  gray

at  the  studio  when  the  carpet  was  laid  and 
the  men  had  neglected  to  lay  titling  under-

shal  of  the  film.    So  the  world  of  the  cinema 
realized  in  a  flash  that  December  morning. 

But,  after  drifting  for  four  days,  the  Griffith 
party  made  port.  The  photoplay  sphere 
settled  back — but  we  trust  not  to  forget  fulness.  It  is  natural 
for  those  close  ta  greatness  not  to  observe  the  light,  but  the 
honor  that  alone  is  Griffith's  must  be  accorded.  No  other  one 
man  has  done  a  fraction  of  service  to  the  silent  play  performed 
by  Griffith. 

May  he  long  retain  the  leadership!  May  he  go  on 
experimenting  and  trying,  for  few  others  have  his  cour- 
age and  resourcefulness!  To  be  sure  there  are  many 
promising  figures  upon  the  horizon — none  more  notably 
so,  for  instance,  than  the  youthful  King  Vidor  or  Mrs. 
Sidney  Drew — but  there  is  but  one  Griffith. 

Let  us  recognize  this  Moses  of  the  motion  play,  this 
Columbus  of  the  cinema!  Let  us  remember  that  grim 
December  morning — and  give  all  honor  where  honor  is 
due — now. 


Richard  Barthelmess  had  gone 
on  to  the  Bahamas  ahead  of 
the  Griffith  party.  When  news, 
reached  him  that  the  Griffith 
steamer  was  missing  he  char- 
tered the  "Berry  Islands"  and 
started  out  in  search.  Here 
are  views  of  Barthehness  and 
his  mother  on  the  searching 
tiiti.  Below  is  a  recent  study 
of  Griffith 


THE  world  of  motion  pic- 
tures drew  a  startled 
breath  and  paused  to 
think  one  recent  December 
morning  when  the  newspa- 
pers of  the  land  carried  the 
story  that  David  Wark  Griffith  and  his  party 
had  been  "lost  at  sea"  off  the  Bahama  Islands. 

It  is  human  to  take  a  f)erson  or  thing  for 
granted — to  accept  unthinkingly.  So  Griffith, 
standing  at  the  very  forefront  of  the  photo- 
play's march,  had  been  accepted.  But  the  news 
that  Griffith  might  be  adrift  in  the  lonely  Span- 
ish Main — dead  or  dying — startled  the  film 
world  and  set  it  thinking. 

Quickly  it  took  stock  of  just  what  it  owed 
this  genius  of  the  silent  drama — for  Griffith,  with  all  his  faults,  is 
the  one  genius  of  the  photoplay.  From  the  flickering  first  days  he 
has  proudly  held  the  standard  upright.  From  the  moment  when  he 
stepped  from  crude  one-reel  melodrama  to  such  brief  celluloid  bits  of 
brilliancy  as  "The  Blot  in  the  'Scutcheon,"  "Enoch,  Arden,"  and 
scores  of  others,  down  thru  the  avenue  of  progress  marked  by  the 
fade-out,  the  close-up,  the  dissolve,  and  a  multitude  of  now  accepted 
technical  devices,  to  the  present  of  that  lyric  tragedy,  "Broken  Blos- 
soms," Griffith  had  led  the  way — and  led  in  every  sense  of  the 
word. 

Other  excellent  and  in  many  ways  brilliant  division  commanders 
have  appeared — De  Mille,  Ince,  Toumeur,  Tucker  and  Dwan  among 
these  potential  leaders — but  Griffith  is  still  essentially  the  field-mar-

II  H— H     H ! 

Human   Hobart   Henley 


"1T-H-H"  sounds  '.ike  tlie  Crown  Prince, 
J~l     but  it   is  not,   however   topical   at 
the  date  of   writing.     It   is  about 
Hobart  Henley,  who  has  the  humanizing 
touch.    He  has  it  in  his  pictures,  "The  Gay 
Old  Dog"  to  wit,  and  he  has  it  in  his  per- 
sonality, which  is  even  more,  because,  sooner 
or  later,  the  personalit)'  of  the  man  is  bound 
to  seep  into  the  personality  of  his  pictures, 
his  work  whatever  form  it  may  take.    A  man 
cannot  give  greater  than  he  is. 

I  dont  believe  that  Mr.  Henley  is  conscious 
of  the  human  touch  he  has  in  any  delib- 
erate sort  of  way.  He  is  so  very  much  and 
so  very  naturally  a  homey  sort  of  person,  with 
a  rich  sort  of  speaking  voice,  Kentuckian  and 
rather  slow,  and  a  smile  that  gives  you  a  com- 
fortable glow  in  the  cardiac  regions  and — he 
would  blue-pencil  this,  I  know,  if  I  gave  him 
half  a  chance,  which  I  shant — romantic  eyes 
and  hair  and  general  aspect. 

He  adores  his  mother,  viich  means  more 
than  the  face  value  of  the  assertion.  The 
adoration  is  mutual.  Originally  a  Kentuckian, 
as  I  said,  he  brought  his  mother  here  to  make 
a  home  for  him  and  in  that  home  he  abides. 
He  is  a  believer  in  the  home.  He  gave  me  a 
sketchy  idea  of  his  idea  of  happiness,  and  it 
was  to  get  up  in  the  morning  on  your  ovim 
place  in  the  country,  the  country  of  course,  he 
said,  and  jump  on  your  horse  and  take  a 
good  gallop  before  breakfast,  tlien  back  to 
steaming  coflee  and  eggs  and  things,  a  la 
anglaise,  as  it  were,  then  dalliance  in  the  sun- 
shine, browsing  among  your  books,  thinking, 
planning,  dreaming  .   .   .

one  thing,  and  more.  But  it  should  be  work  that  can  be  done 
when  the  spirit  of  it  moves  the  actiz'ities.  .\n  artist,  and  fun- 
damentally, a  director  should  be  an  artist — an  artist  cannot 
work  by  clock,  on  schedule,  according  to  rote.  Theoretically, 
it  would  be  very  fine  if  it  were  possible  and  best.  But  it  is  not 
possible.  The  creative  impulse  is  bound  to  be  more  or  less 
sporadic  Some  training  can,  of  course,  be  brought  to  bear, 
but  efficiency — horrible  word! — will  grind  out  inspiration  if 
one  is  not  careful.    And  it  is  in  inspiration  that  the  great  things 

of  living,  in  so  far  as  the 

arts  are  concerned,  are 

achieved." 

Speaking  of  art,  I  un- 
earthed the  hoan,-  ques- 
tion of  whether  he 
thought  the  film

The  Little  Shepherd  of  Kingdom  Come 

Told  in  Story  Form  from  the  Jack  Pickford-GoMwyn  Photoplay 

By  DOROTHY  DON NELL 


"  A  IR  they   places  bigger'n   the  Junction — bigger'n  Lexing- 
J-\   ton?"    Melissa's  eyes  were  round  with  awe.    "Hit  dont 
seem  likely,  Chad!     'Pears  like  they  couldn't  be." 

The  boy  laughed  with  masculine  superiority,  flinging  his  fine 
head  back  in  a  gesture  characteristic  of  him.  "Pooh !  M'liss, 
they're  grander  than  anything  we  ever  saw !  They've  got 
shining  streets  and  white  castles  that  reach  up  and  up,  and 
towers  where  you  can  see  the  whole  world  from.  They've 
got  many  mansions.  M'liss — grand  mansions " 

Caleb  Hess,  schoolmaster,  smiled  a  very  little  at  the  boyish 
rhapsody,  with  its  odd  mingling  of  the  Arabian  Nights  and 
the  New  Testament,  but  it  was  an  infinitely  tender  smile. 
Twelve  patient  years  in  the  Cumberlands,  dealing  with  soggy 
minds,  dulled  with  generations  of  pork  and  pone  eating,  with 
the  sullen,  the  dull,  the  vicious,  had  not  quite  extinguished  the 
flame  that  had  burned,  altar-like,  in  his  soul  when  he  came 
up  into  the  mountains  to  teach  the  mountain  young  of  the 
beauty  and  the  wonder  that  is  in  the  world. 

"Ah,  but  you  must  build  your  castles,  Chad  boy,"  he  said 
gently;  "you  must  work  for  your  towers,  earn  your  mansions. 
There  is  no  virtue  in  easy  things.  It  is  you  and  you  alone  who 
make  your  life  what  it  will  be." 

Trite  words,  old,  frayed  truths,  but  to  the  boy  the  sayings 
of  an  oracle.     His  dark  eyes,   under  the 
ragged  fringe  of  uncut  hair,  glowed   like 
smouldering  coals  in  a  fanning  wind.     "I 
can  do  anything — I  want  to,"  cried  Chad

MOTION  PICTURE 


The  didactic  voice  of  the  schoolmaster  sounded  soothingly. 
"A  gentleman  isn't  the  best  thing  to  be,  Chad  boy.  If  you're 
honest  and  brave  and  kind  you'll  be  a  man,  and  that's  better. 
A  king  who  controls  a  million  meii  is  no  greater  than  a  man 
who  controls  himself." 

"Chad  could  be  a  king,"  Melissa  cried,  jealously,  with  a  look 
that  yearned  toward  the  long,  lank  boy-figure  huddled  before 
the  fire ;  "Chad  could  be  a  king  easy.  He  aint  like  the  res'  of 
us,  somehow,  'pears  like.  He's  like  somebody — somebody  in 
that  book  you-all  read  t'other  day  at  school,  "bout  toumyments 
and  round-tables." 

If  Chad  had  lifted  his  eyes  to  the  girl's  face  as  she  turned  it 
tcvfiird  him  with  the  age-old  mothering  in  it,  he  would  have 
known  what  few  people  guessed — ^that  Melissa  Turner,  daugh- 
ter of  his  employer,  was  beautiful.  But  Chad's  gaze  \<'as.  in 
the  dancing  flames,  where  his  fancy  pictured  the  strange,  fluid, 
changing  shapes  of  the  future,  and  his  thoughts  were  leagues 
away  from  the  ding)',  log-cabin  room.  Caleb  saw,  however, 
and  winced.  It  was  a  pity  that  there  could  be  no  beauty,  no 
grace  in  the  world  without  bringing  suffering  with  it,  as  the 
sunshine  brings  shadows. 

"But  tlie  boy  must  not  be  fettered.  He  must  be  free,  and  he 
will  go  far,"  he  thought.  "Melissa  is  right.  He  is  not  like 
these  dull-souled  mountain  folk.  There  is  blood  in  him  some- 
where, race.  Look  at  the  height  of  that  forehead,  the  shape  of 
that  chin!  But  he  must  go  away  quickly  before  harm  can 
come.    He  is  young,  and  youth's  wants  are  dangerous." 

Aloud  he  spoke  in  his  accustomed  drawl.    "How  would  you 


like  to  go  to  Lexington,  Chad  ?    Or,  better  still,  how  woidd  you 
like  to  go  up  North  to  school  ?" 

"Oh,  sir !"  Chad  gasped,  and  could  say  no  more.  His  sensi- 
tive lips  were  quivering,  his  long,  lean  hands,  which  all  the 
rough  work  of  shepherding  could  not  make  like  the  thick-set 
paws  of  the  mountain  boys,  clenched  together  on  his  knee  with 
a  grip  that  turned  the  fingers  white.  Neither  he  nor  Caleb, 
absorbed  in  the  plans  of  the  moment,  heard  the  strange  little 
cry  the  prl  gave  from  her  shadows,  a  hurt  cry,  like  a  little  wild 
animal  wounded,  nor  saw  the  whitening  of  the  long,  pointed 
face  between  the  fans  of  wild  tangled  brown. 

They  were  still  talking  eagerly,  making  plans  for  the  journey 
that  was  to  set  Chad's  impatient  feet  on  the  pathway  to  the 
world,  when  she  slipped  out  into  the  cool  Cumberland  night, 
lucent  with  the  cold  clearness  of  the  stars.  She  lifted  her  face 
toward  them,  marked  with  strange  woman  lines  of  pain  in  its 
girlishness.  Melissa  was  fifteen,  but  she  was  very  old  tonight, 
old  as  the  travail  of  her  soul,  old  as  .the  brave,  sweet  heart  of 
her  that  now  rose  above  its  pain  to  pray  for  him. 

"I've  lost  him,  but  hit's  best.  On'y,  God,  take  keer  o'  him. 
If  they's  any  hurtin'  to  be  done,  hurt  me  instead,"  Melissa 
begged.  "That's  what  womenfolks  was  made  for,  I  reckon, 
to  git  hurt  'stead  of  they  men." 

The  next  week  Chad  Buford,  with  all  his  worldly  posses- 
sions, a  f)oor  calico  shirt,  two  pairs  of  white  socks  and  a 
thumbed,  dog-eared  copy  of  "The  Knights  of  the  Table 
Round"  rolled  into  a  bundle  under  his  arm,  started  out  afoot 
down  the  mountains,  with  Caleb  Hess  beside  him,  and  only  the 
half-jeering  commentaries  of  the  loafers  outside  the  tiny  gen- 
eral store  as  farewell. 

"Spect  you'll  be  'lected  President  one  o'  these  days,  Chad!" 

"Dont  I'am  too  much — 'taint  healthy,  I  reckon.  Knowed  a 
man  onct  went  thru  the  'rithmetic  and  took  with  a  fever  'n' 
died." 

To  each  other,  after  the  two 
figures    had    disappeared    down  "How  would  you  like  to

the  trail,  they 
spoke  with  coarse 
freedom  of  the 
boy's  dubious  pa- 
rentage.  "A 
bound  boy,  wi^ 
no  pappy  and  no 
mom  as  anybody 
knows  on,"  they 
sneered,  "set tin' 
hisself  up  to  be 
somebody — it's 
'nough  to  make  a 
hawg  laff.  He'd 
'a'  done  better  to 
have  stayed  and 
minded  Jeff  Tur- 
ner's sheep,  and 
kept  his  belly 
full." 

Only  one  per- 
son watched 
Chad  set  out,  and 
sent  a  gentle 
thought  with  him, 
a  prayer  that  he 
might  find  what 
he  went  to  seek 
for — happiness 
and  success.  Me- 
lissa, hidden  be- 
hind the  great 
tree  at  the  bend 
of  the  trail,  heard 
their  voices  com- 
ing closer,  pass- 
ing, then  dared  to  look  out  from  her 
leafy  covert  for  one  last  glimpse  of 
the  dark  head,  held  so  high  in  its 
rough  fur  cap,  the  straight  shoulders 
in  their  sheepskin  covering,  the  very 
way  he  walked — as  if,  she  thought, 
he  already  had  his  white  castles,  his 
towers.     She  closed  the  memory  of 

this  last  glimpse  of  him  away  in  her  heart  sacredly,  to  be  taken 
out  when  she  was  alone  sometimes,  looked  at,  dreamed  over. 
"I'll  never  see  him  again,"  said  Melissa,  but  she  did  not  know. 

A  week  later  Caleb  Hess  returned.  It  got  about,  after  a 
while,  thru  assiduous  questioning,  that  he  had  not  taken  Chad 
up  North  after  all,  but  left  him  in  Lexington  with  a  Major 
Rufus  Buford,  who  had  taken  a  fancy  to  the  boy  and  promised 
to  care  for  him  and  give  him  an  education.  The  name  re- 
awakened old  rumors.  What  if  Chad  should  have  a  right  to 
the  half-jesting  patronymic  he  had  always  borne?  What  if 
this  major  should  be  kin  of  his? 

"Always  said  the  boy  had  something  to  him,"  the  moun- 
taineers told  each  other.  "Reckon  M'W  be  moughty  proud,  now 
he's  got  fine  friends,  an'  fergit  aU  we've  done  fer  him !" 

Life  went  on,  thru  the  cold  winter  days,  the  .sheep,  huddled 
in  their  folds,  bleating  plaintively.  The  women  shuffled  about 
the  dark  cabins  from  greasy  skillet  to  the  cradles  of  their  ailing 
babes.  Caleb,  in  the  frigid  log  schoolhouse,  labored  patiently, 
but  without  inspiration,  to  plant  a  small  seed  of  beauty  in  the 
unfertile  minds  before  him,  and  M'liss  dreamed  in  the  red 
dusks  of  a  tall,  erect  figure,  panoplied  like  a  knight,  striding 
down  the  shining  street  of  a  great  city. 

And  then  one  night,  as  the  Turners  sat  about  their  eternal 
sow-bdly  and  beans,  and  the  cabin  swam  in  the  sooty,  greasy 
light  of  oil  lamps,  the  door  opened  and  Chad  stood  on  the 
threshold,  looking  at  them  with  a  set,  white  face  and  eyes  cold 
and  empty,  hke  dead>brands  when  the  flame  is  gone. 

The  elder  Turner  brought  his  knife  handle  down  on  the  table 
with  a  hoarse  cackle  of  delight.  "Haw,  haw  I  Come  back,  eh  ? 
Fine  friends  turn  you  out  and  you  come  crawlin'  back  to  fill 
your  crop." 

(Thirty-one) 


"You've  been 
moughty  good  to 
me,  Mliss ;  I  reck- 
on I  wont  for- 
get it,  ever,"  he 
said 


Dan  and  Jake,  the  boys,  echoed  their 
father's  hateful  hilarity,  Mrs.  Turner  gave 
a  spiritless  glance  at  the  silent  figure, 
then  shuffled  to  the  stove  to  pile  another 
plate  with  food,  but  Melissa  sprang  to 
her  feet  and  ran  to  Chad,  clutching  his 
hands  in  her  hard,  calloused  ones. 

"Chad  boy !  Oh,  mebbe  it's  wicked  to  be  glad,  but  I  am — I 
am !"  Melissa  sobbed.  Then,  vaguely  terrified  by  the  stillness 
of  him,  she  stood  on  tiptoe,  thrusting  her  face  close  to  his. 
And  the  set  despair  she  read  there  brought  a  cry  to  her  lips. 
"Chad!  What's  happened?  Tell  me.  Oh,  Chad,  the  fire — 
the  fire  in  your  eyes  is  out !  What  have  they  city  folk  done  t' 
you  ?" 

But  the  boy  merely  .shook  her  off,  not  unkindly,  and  went  to 
the  table.  "I've  come  back — if  you'll  keep  nle,"  he  said,  with 
set  lips.  "I  kin  take  care  of  the  sheep  for  my  keep.  I  found" 
— he  drew  a  deep  breath,  and  his  face  went  white — "I  found  I 
belonged  up  here " 

And  that  was  all  he  would  say,  tho  he  pushed  the  plate  of 
repulsive  food  away  and  sat  silent,  staring  down  at  his  lax 
hands  till  all  but  Melissa  had  yawned  themselves  away  to  bed- 
Like  a  little,  grey  shadow,  Melissa  slipped  closer,  laid  her  hand 
tremblingly  on  his  knee.  "Now,  Chad,  tell  me,"  she  whispered. 
"I  reckon  'tisn't  any  tiling  that  cant  be  mended.  What  did  they- 
all  do  to  you — down  thar?" 

Chad  drew  a  sharp  breath,  laughed  terribly.  He  was  very 
tragic,  as  is  youth's  way,  for  his  pride  had  been  hurt  almost  to 
death  and  his  heart  was  sick.  "Kin  you  mend  bad  stock? 
Kin  you  find  me  a  mammy  and  a  pappy — kin  you  give  me  the 
right  to  be  homed  at  all  ?"    Unconsciously,  his  tongue  fell  into

— I  kaint  ever — be — a — gentleman " 


Then,  in  a  tumbled  flood  of  words,  it 
was  all  out.  The  major  had  been  kind, 
wonderful  kind.  He  had  treated  him  like 
kinfolk  and  told  him  he  should  have  his 
chance  for  all  the  book  learning  he  wanted.  He  had  seemed 
to — to  like  him,  somehow.  Oh,  and  it  was  a  grand  place 
where  he  lived — fifteen  rooms,  each  one  bigger  than  the  cabin, 
and  black  servants,  and  horses — they  were  moughty  nice,  the 
horses.  Then  there  had  been  the  folks  next  door — Dean,  their 
name  was,  a  terrible  fancy  man  and  woman,  and  two  boys  his 

age,  and — and 

Chad's  face  grew  scarlet  in  the  firelight,  and  she  saw  that 
his  u.inds  were  trembling. 

"They  was  a  girl,  too — her  name  was  Margaret,"  he 
stumbled.  "She  had  awful  pretty  hair,  light  and  sort  of  soft 
and  the  color  of  sunshine  at  high  noon — a  real  lady  she  was, 
but.  she — she  was  pov/erful  pleasant  to  me,  and  made  me  for- 
get I  wasn't  anything  but  a  mountain  critter.  We — went 
riding  in  the  park — once  or  twice.  Then  they  found  out" — his 
voice  brooded — "about  me  being  a  nobody,  having  no  pappy 
that  I  knowed  on.  They'd  thought  I  was  some  blood  kin  of  the 
major — an'  when  they  found  I  wasn't,  they  told  me" — he 
choked,  fought  wrathfully  with  unmanly  tears — "they  done  told 
me  not  to  come  to  they  house  no  more — not  to  speak  to — to 
^largaret " 


Melissa  had 
dr?. wn  away 
from  him.  She 
did  not  want 
him  to  feel  the 
shaking  of  her 
meager  body. 
Her  voice  was 
dry  and  expres- 
sionless. "So 
your  major 
friend  sent  you 
away?" 

"No !"  Chad  said,  violently.  "No !  He  didn't  know  I  was 
coming,  but  I  couldn't  stay  an'  be  a  burden — be  looked  down 
on.  It  hurt  me — in  here!"  He  struck  his  chest  cruelly,  vio- 
lently, like  a  bitter  man;  then,  like  a  disappointed  boy,  he 
began  to  sob,  his  forehead  resting  on  Melissa's  shoulder  for 
comforting.  "Oh,  M'liss!  I'll  never  find  the  white  towers — 
and  the  many  mansions.  I  wish  I  was  dead !  I  wish  I'd  never 
been  bom !" 

Melissa  patted  the  rough  head  pitifully.    "Dont  fret,  boy," 
she  whispered;  "dont  fret."    But  her  brain  was  already  busy

The  Farce  University 

By  HARRISON  HASKINS 


THE  celluloid  farce  comedy  seems  to  be  the  training 
school   of   the   film   star.      "The   farce   university," 
the}'  call  it  in  picturedoni. 
Consider    Gloria    Swanson,    Clarine    Seymour,    Betty 
Compson,  Alice  Lake,  Bebe  Daniels  and  Mar)-  Thurman. 
All  graduated  with  honors  from  fast  and  furious  farces. 
\Vc  asked  one  of  the  biggest  directors  in  the  country  to 
account  for  this  seeming  phenomena. 

'Phenomena— nothing!"  he  exclaimed.  "In  farce 
comedy  you  are  taught  to  put  over  your  points  with  a 
baiig — to  accentuate  with  speed — to  retain  your  poise 
while  tons  of  water  swee])  by  and  a  brick  house  tumbles 
about  you.     In  a  sentence,  to  have  poise  with  pies." 

Which,  if  we  may  further  pun, 
seems  to  hit  it. 

W'e  jnit  ttie  same  question  to 
Gloria  Swanson  herself.  She  said 
almost  the  same  thing. 

"Acting  in  farce  teaches  you  to 
slightly  over-exaggerate  to  drive 
home  things  with  a  smash,"  re- 
marked  Miss  Swanson.  "When 
the  dramatic  director  gets  you,  he 
merely  has  to  tone  you  down. 
-\nd  it  is  much  easier  to  tone 
down  than  to  tone  up  some  one 
who  doesn't  know  how  to  make 
his  or  her  points.  That  is  why 
you  can  more  or  less  suc- 
cessfully step  from  film 
farce  to  film 
drama."

Pell  Trenton  started 
out  to  be  a  lawyer,  but 
changed  his  mind.  He 
made  his  debut  doing  a 
"bit"  with  Julia  Mcir- 
lowe  in  "The  Goddess 
of  Reason."  At  the 
right  is  a  glimpse  of 
him  in  the  garden  set 
of  "The  Willow  Tree" 


Pell  of 
Pell  Manor 


TIM.  first  thing  I  asked  Pell 
Trenton  was  the  whyfore 
of  his  first  name.  l?y 
rights,  I  should  have  quizzed 
him  concerning  his  stage  and 
screen  career,  but  when  a  man 
has  a  name  that  sounds  as  if  it 
might  be  an  abbreviation  for 
"Pellingham"  or  '".Pellerford," 
or  something  e([ually  romantic, 
to  say  nothing  of  its  being  a 
great  deal  like  "']>al"  and  a  hit 
like  "pill."  he  may  e.xjiect  to  be 
asked  for  an  explanation,  even 
tho  names  are  strictly  personal 
affairs  and  as  such  are  su]iposed 
to  be  exempt  from  cross-exami- 
nation. And  he  wasn't  the  least 
bit  offended.  Indeed,  he  seemed 
pleased  to  talk  about  it. 

"I've  wondered  why  no  iiiter- 
vi'?wer  ever  asked  me  that-,"  he 
beamed  upon  me.  "Rvery  one 
else  does  as  soon  as  the  law  al- 
lows. I'm  proud  of  it  for  va- 
rious reasons,  and  it  is  my 
'monicker'  and  not  a  stage  name, 
as  every  one  seems  to  think. 

"I  am  a  descendant  of  the 
first  Lord  Pell,  who  came  over 
from  England  in  1600  and  was 
given  a  grant  of  land  in  Xevv 
York  in  what  is  now  West- 
chester County.  The  eldest  son 
has  borne  the  name  all  down 
along  the  line — hence  the  cogno- 
men for  me." 

They  had  told  me  at  the  Metro 
that  I  _>vould  find  Mr.  Trenton 
somewhere  on  the  lot,  wearing  a 
kimono  and  a  classic  hair-cut, 
which  was  their  more  or  less 
subtle  way  of  telling  me  that  he 
was  playing  in 
"The  Willow 
Tree,"  an  adapta- 
tion of  an  old  Jap- 
anese legend,  and 
that  he  made  a  ro- 
m  antic-looking 
hero. 

When  I  first 
glimpsed  him,  he 
was  wearing  a  gor- 
geous black  ki- 
mono with  gold 
dots,  and  he  was 
standing  n  ear  a 
half-moon  bridge 
in  a  perfect  Jap- 
anese garden — 
made  for  tlje  occa- 
sion out  of  the 
prosaic  Metro  lot.

tion   of    ])ovvdering    his    nose    in    public, 

while  Viola  Dana,  metamorphosed  into  a 

daint)'  Nipponese  maid  with  tinseled  black 

wig  and  butterfly  kimono,  was  doing  like- 
wise.     They    scenied    quite    oblivious   of 

each    other's     proximity    until     Director 

Otto  shouted,  ".\ction!"  when  thej'  hastilj' 

put  away  their  make-up  boxes  and  stood 

ver\'   close    to   each    other    in    the    time- 
honored  position  for  those  in  love. 

"Camera !"  called  the   director.     "Run 

across   the   bridge,    Vi — right    after   her. 

Pell — call  to  her,  'I'll  catch  you!'     Run 

off  after  her — cut !" 

Little    Miss    Dana    hurried    away    to 

change  her  costume,  and  it  was  a  rather 

wear)'     bi't      intensely     romantic-looking 

Pell  who  led  me  over  to  the  steps  of  the 

tea-house  set  for  a  chat  between  scenes. 
"I  didn't  know  whether  I  was  going  to 

get  a  minute  ofif  or  not,"  he  .said,  dabbing 

his  face  carefully  with  a  handkerchief.   "I 

am  playing  opposite   Miss   Dana   in   this 

picture,  and  man)-  of  the  scenes  are  taken 

in  this   garden.     There   are  only   a    few 

hours  a  day  when   the   sun   is  right   for 

shooting,  .so  we  have  to   take  advantage 

of  everj'  minute  when  the  light  is  good.'' 
He  has  a  deep,  rich  voice — baritone,  I 

suppose  you  would  call  it,  with  that  inflec- 
tion   which    betokens    at    once    a    New 

Yorker  and  an  actor.     He  has  grey  eyes 

that  regard  you  alternately  with  twinkling 

humor   and   flattering   sincerity,   and    his 

forehead  is  of  that  classic  variety  that  in  a 

mid-Victorian    novel    would    be    teniied 

"brow,"  possibly  with  the  adjec- 
tive of  "lofty"  or  "noble"  before 

it.    His  hair  is  brown  and  has  a 

slight  wave  that  becomes  a  posi- 
tive crinkle  over  the   ears,   and 

the  I'm  sure  he  wQnt  own  up  to 

this,  the  fact  remains  that  he  has 

a    romantic    face.      You     could 

visualize    him    as    Launcelot    or 

Francois  Villon,  or  as  the  first 

Lord    Pell    of    Pell    Manor,    in 

powdered   wig  ard   satin   waist- 
coat. 

"I  enjoy  working  in  'The  Wil- 
,  low   Tree'   immensely,"   he    told 

ine,  when  we  got  around  to  talk- 
ing pictures  instead  of  Pells.   "It 

is  an  adaptation  of  the  play  that 

made    such    a    success    in    New 

York,  and  I  take  the  part  of  the  English  sculptor  who  falls  in  love  witli 

the  little  Japanese  girl  who  pretends  that  she  is  the  willow-tree  image

"Let  me  show  you  thru  the  garden,"  he  invited.  "It  is  a  real  achieve- 
ment— perfect  in  every  detail." 

He  helped  me  across  a  narrow  little  bridge  that  spanned  an  artificial 
canal,  and  we  stopped  a  moment  to  watch  the  white  ducks  sunning  them- 
selves on  the  banks. 

".^t  first  the  stream  was  full  of  gold-fish,"  he  .said,  "but  ducks  are  no 
respecters  of  movie  props,  and  they  ate  them  all  the  first  day."' 

The  garden  was  indeed  a  miracle  of  realism,  car[)eted  with  soft  green 
grass,  filled  with  transplanted  willow  trees,  cherry  trees  in  full  artificial

Meet  "The  Frog"     r 


By  MAUDE  S.   CHEATHAM 


TiosK  who  saw  Lon  Chaney's  remarkable  character  study 
ot  The  Frog  in  (^orge  Loane  Tucker's  great  play,  '"The 
Miracle  Man,"  will  not  soon  forget  it. 

All  thai  the  horror  of  the  early  scenes,  where  as  an  under- 
world derelict  preying  upon  the  sympathies  of  the  slum  sight- 
seekers  with  his  faked  paralysis,  to  his  inspiring  regeneration, 
not  one  false  note  was  struck,  and  it  remains  as  a  unique  study 
in  sharp  contrasts. 

I  was  quite  convinced  that  he  must  be  a  contortionist,  and  this' 
was  the  first  question  that  1  asked  him. 

"l  should  .say  not."  laughed  Mr.  Chaney,  amused  at  the 
thought.  "I  am  not  even  double-jointed.  I  figured  it  out  that  to 
throw  the  body  back  into  position  after  twisting  it  as  a  paralytic, 
the  first  movements  would  be  slow — and  painful — with  a  quick 
jerk  at  the  last,  and  with  practice  I  mastered  the  trick. 

"I'll  confess  that,  with  all  my  knowledge  of  make-up — and  I 
have  been  character  actor  both  in  musical  comedy  and  on  the 
screen  during  my  entire  professional  career — I  had  some  diffi- 
culty in  deciding  just  what  to  use  for  The  Frog.     In 
the  first  place,  I  planned  to  be  a  cripple,  have  a  with- 
ered hand  and  a  hump  on  my  back,  but  when  I  dis- 
covered that  I  had  to  unfold  tTvice  before  the  camera, 
these  three  infirmities  were,  of  course,  impossible. 

"Finalh,  after  several  sleepless  nights  and  a  number 
of  experiments,   I  decided  on — paralysis!     I  let  my 
beard  grew,  and  altogether  I   worked  out  a  con- 
vincing make-up,  horrible  as  it  was. 

"W'e  spent  twelve  weeks  making  'The  Miracle 
Man,'  and  it  was  a  wonderful  experience,  for  Mr. 
Tucker  was  certainly  inspired,  and  he  inspired  us 
until  we  were  all  living  our  parts  every  minute  of 
the  time.  He  works  very  quietly,  directing  every 
scene  himself,  and  he  went  thru  those  underworld 
scenes  relentlessly,  with  set  jaw  and  cold 
eyes,  while  in  the  emotional  moments  he 
cried  as  hard  as  the  rest  of  us. 

"Character  work  is  always  interesting," 
continued  Mr.  Oianey.  "In  my  last  picture, 
'Victory,'  under  Maurice  Toumeu'-'s  direc- 
tion, my  role  called  for  pockmarks,  and  t 
followed  a  Mexican,  who  was  badly  marked, 
all  about  the  Plaza  in  Old  Town  for  hours 
one  hot  afternoon.  I  wanted  to  see  how  they 
appeared  on  his  face.  Then  I  hunted 
up  another  Mexican  to  study  the  cut 
of  his  mustache. 

"Recently,  I  played  two  totally 
different  roles  in  Toumeur's  produc- 
tion of  'Treasure  Island.'  One  was 
a  bloodthirsty  pirate,  the  other  Pew, 
the  blind  man.  In  every  picture  I 
learn  a  little  more  about  human  na- 
ture, for  preparing  a  character  role 
means  studymg  people.  I  am  ever 
on  the  watch  for  characteristics  and 
peculiarities  that  I  can  use  in  my 
work." 

Lon  Chaney  was  bom  in  Colorado 
Springs,  Colorado.  Both  his  parents 
are  deaf  and  dumb,  his  mother  from 
birth,  his  father  since  he  was  three. 
This  is  without  doubt  the  secret  of

By  FAITH  SERVICE 


IMMKDiATi:i.v  upon  their  arrival  in  California  the  Jennings  he- 
came  the  Parker-Jennings.    This  was  but  the  beginning,  but  a 

very  real  beginning,  of  a  series  of  satisfactions  to  Mrs.  Jennings 
— er — /'oryter- Jennings.  It  was  the  only  sort  of  satisfaction 
she  had  ever  craved.  The  lack,  heretofore,  of  the.se  satisfac- 
tions had  put  the  fretted  lines  about  her  mouth  and  the  petu- 
lance in  her  eyes,  which  might,  devoid  of  it,  have  been  pretty. 
Once,  they  had  been. 

Money  and  the  lack  of  money  had  been  the  scales  on  which 
Mrs.  Jennings  had  weighed  her  hapi)iness  and  her  unhappiness, 
and,  since  up  to  the  time  of  the  oil  findings,  there  had  been 
rather  a  bad  lack  of  it,  the  scales  had  weighed  decidedly  for  un- 
happiness. .She  hadn't  been  able  to  find  it  in  any  other  way. 
Her  husband  didn't  give  it  to  her.  She  felt  that  he  had  failed 
her.  It  was  the  only  sort  of  failing  she  would  have  considered 
as  such.  His  petty  clerkship,  his  i)etty  salary,  the  inevitable 
scrimping  and  scraping  and  jiiecing  and  patching,  all  had  been 
irritants  for  which  she  had  no  counter  and  no  inner  resources 
to  tap  for  her  consoling. 

Nor  had  her  daughter  been  of  much  avail  to  her.  Ethel 
was  too  different  to  be  in  any  sense  availing.  She  was  too 
happy  in  the  srriall  things.  She  had  too  deep  and  serene  a 
spirit  of  content.  She  loved  too  greatly  and  was  too  well 
satisfied  with  the  jietty  clerkship  and  the  correspondingly  petty 
.salary  of  her  father.  When  things  pinched  too  hard,  as  they 
did  during  her  junior  year  at  college,  she  left  college  and  all 
the  hopes  it  held  forth  to  her  and  the  friends  she  had  made 
and  the  atmosphere  she  had  worn  with  a  high  pride  as  a  sort 
of  garment  and  stayed  at  home  and  went  to  work  in  the  town 
bank.  More,  she  avowed  her  happiness  in  so  doing.  She  was 
quite  beyond  her  querulous  mother  and  not  at  all  comforting 
in  her  aloofness,  or  what  her  mother  felt  hef  aloofness.  There 
was  no  kinship  of  spirit  between  the  two. 

When  the  miracle  happened,  when  the  California  oil  wells 
in  which  Mr.  Jennings  had  once,  long  ago,  foolishly,  so  they 
told  him,   invested,  and   which   had,  ever   since,   lain 
foolishly  fallow,  when  they,  all  at  once,  gushed  rivers 
of  oil  and,  simultaneously,  rivers  of  dollars  into  the 
stunned   coffers  of   the   impecunious   Jenningses,   the 
reactions    were    dissimilar 
and  not  without  farce  value. 
Not,  either,  without  an  ele- 
ment of  pathos. 

Mr.   Jennings,    worn 
his  petty  clerkship,  by 
the    fretting    of    his 
petty   salary,    by   the 
small     recriminations 
and     piled-up     barbs 
and     stings     of     the 
piled-up  years,  simply 
relapsed  and  asked  to 
rest.    'What  initiative 
he  may  once  have 
sessed,   which    had 
adequate,    at    least    to    the 
retaining  of  the  clerkship, 
dropped    from    him.      A 

chair  in  the  sun,  skimming  the  morning  papers,  an 
occasional  light  novel  of  the  summer  reading'  variety, 
the  society  and  tender  attentions  of  his  daughter,  who 
bolstered  him  up  bv  frequent  references  to  his  fore- 
sight in  the  purcha-.e  of  the  oil  wells,  these  were  the 
things  his  millions  brought  to  him. 

To  Ethel  it  meant  simply  a  sort  of  surcease  for  her 
father.     She  took  a  deep  and  gratifying  pleasure  in 

(Thirty-nine) 


watching  him  lie  back  and  relax.  For  the 
rest,  of  course,  it  was  a  good  deal  to  hear 
Mrs.  Jennings  change  the  tone  of  her  com- 
plaints, but  the  complaints  remained,  only 
that  they  took,  now,  the  form  of  aspirations

proached Jack  Straw 
with  a  proposition. 


Iinibably  impossible  of  achievement. 
She    wanted,    virulently,    to    break 
into    society.      I"or    herself,    Ethel 
had  taken  a  sort  of  enjoyment  in 
the   stnigfjle.      She  liked  construc- 
tion and  she  felt,  when  she  left  col- 
le),'e  and  went  to  work,  that  she  had 
done,  in  the  way  of  character  build- 
ing,   a    constructive    thing.      Then, 
the    way    she    had    been    managing 
things,    the   .small    income   and   all. 
It   had   been   a  game,   jjlayed   with 
realities,  by  an  earnest  gamester.     It  had  had  its  value  and 
also  its  fascination.     The  frills  of  life  meant  nothing  to  Kthel. 
To   -Mrs.  Jennings,  as  has  been  said,  it  meant  being  Mrs. 
Parker-]tnn\ng^. 

It  meant  that  as  an  outer  symbol  to  cover  multifarious  other 
details,  such  as  the  buying,  for  instance,  of  exorbitant  dia- 
monds, unsuitable  gowns  and  furs.  It  meant  the  trip  de  luxe 
to  California,  where  the  family  had,  perforce,  to  live  in  close 
proximity  to  the  gushing  oil  wells  and  the  operating  company. 
It  meant  the  leasing  and  furnishing  and  exceeding  interior 
decorating  of  the  most  ornate  mansion  to  be  had.  It  meant, 
too,  the  oi)portunity  to  be  a  snob,  altho,  of  course,  Mrs. 
Parker-Jennings  would  not  so  have  termed  it. 

She  was  one,  however.  Successfully,  to  her  mind;  disas- 
trously in  the  eventuality,  as  such  codes  of  conduct  generally 
are.  Mrs.  Parker-Jennings  had,  herself,  been  snubbed.  The 
■  -ting  memories  of  the  snubs  had  remained.     Rerriained,  too, 


the  reluctant  admiration  for  the  persons  so  fortunately  placed 
as  to  be  able  to  indulge  in  snubbcry.  One  of  her  first  ambi- 
tions was  to  do  to  some  other  what  had  been  done  unto  her. 
The  victim  was  more  or  less  non-important. 

The  victim  happened,  however,  to  be  important  to  other 
minds  if  not  to  that  of  Mrs.  Parker- Jennings.  She  was  a 
young  widow,  Mrs.  Wanley  by  name,  with  an  adopted  daugh- 
ter and  enough  attractiveness  to  warrant  her  male  support 
from  some  quarter  or  other.  Probably  rather  arduous  sup- 
l)ort.  It  came,  in  this  instance,  from  one  Ambro.se  Holland, 
who  had  one  ambit!>j,i  in  life,  and  that  was  to  be  the  successor 
to  the  late  lamented  Wanley.     What  was  resentful  to  Mrs.

CLASSIC 

Waiiley  was  restiitful,  in  triplicate  essence,  to  Holland,  and 
he  had  the  means  and  the  ])o\ver  of  retaliation.  When  Mrs. 
Parker- leiniings  ^ave  it  forth  that  her  dauj;litcr.  I'.tliel,  was 
lint  to  associate  with  such  penniless  nobodies  as  the  Wanleys, 
HolJaiKl  swore  revenue.  That  luhel  herself  moaned  o\er  this 
crudity  in  secret  was  not  known  to  Mrs.  W'anley.  Which 
brings  us  to  Jack  Straw.     .\lso.  back  to  New  York,  briefly. 

Jack  ."straw  was  an  iceman,  and  this  is  a  romance,  despite 
the  seeniini,'  disparity.  He  was  an  iceman,  that  is,  at  the  time 
he  tir.st  saw  label  Jennings  singing  while  she  kneaded  dough. 
There  was  no  ostensible  reason  why  Jack  Straw,  who  had 
roved  the  world  in  one  ca]iacity  or  another  and  had  been  an<' 
done  many  things,  should  fall,  for  the  first  time,  in  love  with 
a  young  girl  kneading  dough  and  singing  a  popular  song.  Yet 
such  is  love.  He  did  fall  in  love  with  her.  Rather  b;ully,  even 
painfully.  /\nd  he  remained  in  love.  H  the  oil  wells  bad  not 
j'ushed  at  an  unpropitious  moment,  he  would  have  revealed  bis 
identity  and  bis  amour  at  one  and  the  same  time,  but  to  the 
heiress  of  the  Parker-Jenningses  such  an  avowal  would  have 
seemed  rather  prejiosterous.  Jack  .Straw  knew  that  the  mil- 
lions would  make  no  fundamental  ditifcrence  in  lubel.  She 
was  too  firmly  grounded  and  too  finely  poised.  But  be  loved 
her,  and  be  wanted  her  to  have  her  chance.  She  hadn't  really 
seen  the  world,  .save  from  her  college  dormitory  and  her 
kitchen  window,  and  such  views  were,  of  necessity,  limited. 
If  she  should  see  the  world  thru  a  mist  of  gold  and  still,  some 
day,  be  able  to  turn  to  Jack  Straw,  such  a  gifting  would  be 
for  time  immeasurable. 

So  Jack  Straw,  with  an  aching  heart,  watched  the  Parker- 
Jenningses  depart,  and,  a  month  later,  covered  the  same 
ground  himself.  P.efore  label's  de|)arture,  however,  be  per- 
mitted himself  the  daring  to  leave  a  note  on  the  kitchen  table 
asking  her  not  to  fall  in  love  with  any  one  in  California  until 
he  could  meet  her  there.  He  signed  it  Jack  Straw.  He 
counted  on  the  essential  romance  singing  in  her  heart.  All  nice 
girls  had  romance  in  their  hearts.  They  wouldn't  be  nice  if 
they  didn't  have.  It  was  jiart  of  a  nice  girl's  birthright,  and 
dreams,  too  .   .   . 

Of  course,  label  did  dream,  ."-ibe  dreamed  a  great  deal. 
She  liked  the  name.  Jack  Straw,  and  the  handwriting  and  the 
spirit  he  gave  to  it  all.  She  decided  that  it  would  not  be  very 
hard  to  wait.  p)ull  hours  were  lightened  by  the  funny  little, 
appealing  little  thought  of  Jack  .Straw.  How  would  he  come 
to  her?  In  what  array'  In  shining  jianoply,  or  tattered 
rags?  And  would  be  bring  love  with  him?  .\nd  who  was 
he,  after  all  ? 

.\fter  all.  and  just  at  the  time  of  label's  wondering.  Jack 
Straw  had  become  a   waiter   in  a   hotel   nearby  the   Parker- 
Jennings'  mansion.     The  Parker-Jenningses  dined  there  quite 
frequently,   being    usually,    owing    to    Mrs.    Parker-Jennings, 
without  a  cook.     No  doubt  Jack  Straw  had  bad  wind  of  tliis 
before  he  acce]ited  and  capably  conducted  bis  profession  as 
waiter.     It   was   something   to   be   able   to   gaze   u])on    label, 
dining.     To  be  able,  now  and  again,  ecstatically  to  serve  her. 
It  gave  them,  even  tho  she  was  serenely  unaware,  a  bond.     It 
gave  him,  too,  the  thrilling  assurance  that  his  note  bad  struck 
a  res|)onse.     label  was  waiting 
and   watching   for  Jack   Straw. 
Rut   the   time.   Jack    Straw    be- 
lieved,  had   not    yet    come.      In 
the  meantime,  the  greatest  part 
of  love  IS  service  .   .   . 

Things  conspire.    Mrs.  Parker- 
Jennings'    snobbery,    Ambrose 
Holland's  love  of  Mrs.  Waidey, 
the  clean-cut  good  looks  of  Jack 
Straw — all  these  things  consjiired  together 
with  the  result  that  .\mbrose  Holland  ap- 
proached Jack  Straw  with  a  projiosition. 
It  was  to  ini|iersonate  some  titled  person 
and  allow  himself  to  be  introduced  into  the 
Parker- Jennings   family. 
"The   old   bird,''    in- 
formed   Holland,    "will 
fall   for  it  like  a  duck. 

(fortn-fine) 


She  will  literally  hurl  herself  upon  you.     You  can  fall  for  the 
daughter  .   .   .  you  .sec?" 

"1  see,"  said  Jack  Straw,  and  was  speculative.     He  added, 
"It's  not  a  question  of  money,  with  me,  of  course." 

"Of  course  not,''  said  Holland,  hastily,  recognizing  a  sensi- 
bility and,  evidently,  the  spirit  of  the  adventurer  for  adven- 
ture's sake,  since  be  could  not  know  of  Jack  Straw's  love  for 
ICtbel,  nor  yet  that  Jack  Straw  bad  seen,  too  frequently,  Serlo, 
ilie  free  versifier,  at  the  Parker-Jennings'  table,  reading  bis  fre 
verse  to  label  and  expounding,  no  doubt  with 
dire  intent,  his  theories  of  free  love.  It  was  to 
circumvent  Serlo  that  causeil  Jack  Straw  to  adopt 
the  pretentious  title  of  the  Archduke  Sebastian 
and  be  thus  i>resented 
to  the  Parker-Jen- 
ningses, to  the  enrai)-  .^'^ 
tured  Parker-Jen-  '  ' 
ningses  as  represent-

a   littl 
Kthel. 

T!ie  causes  of 
emotion  were,  as 
usual  with  this 
mother  and  daugh- 
ter, largely  variant. 
To  Mrs.  Parker- Jennings  the  Archduke 
was  the  thing.  To  Ethel  Jennings  the 
man  was  the  thing.  Out  of  a  world  of 
men  he  came,  quite  .suddenly,  and  there 
was  no  other  man  save  him.  .Singularly 
uninvolved  where  her  emotions  were  con- 
cerned, Kthel  knew,  without  compromise,  that  she  loved  him. 
Sensing,  with  the  same  delicate  perceptiveness,  his  response, 
she  knew  that  he  loved  her.  This,  then,  was  the  reason  of 
her  being.  It  became,  with  the  advent  of  this  love,  a  paradise 
of  a  world  to  live  in,  riotous,  yet  serene,  with  flowers  and  the 
sound  of  music,  with  color  and  rhythm  and  unimagined 
dreamings  ...  a  wonder-place! 

One  little  rift  in  the  clear  lute  of  all  this  happiness  was 
the  recurrence  of  the  note  she  had  had  before  she  left  New 
York,  signed,  even  as  th.ii  first  one.  Jack  Straw.  She  did  not 
want  to  make  this  unknown  person  unhappy.  Out  of  her 
own  largesse  she  wanted  to  give,  even  as  she  was  receiving. 

On  the  night  of  the  large  reception  Mrs.  Parker-Jennings 
gave  the  Archduke  Sebastian,  Ethel  met  the  guest  of  honor 


MOTION  PICTURE 

in  the  con- 
servatory. 
He    gave 
her,    with 
his    whim- 
sical smile, 
a    little    note,   a 
rejilica    of    the 
other     three. 
Ethel   read  it, 
only    half    com- 
prehending.     Then    she 
sought  the  eyes,  the  sud- 
dculy-groun-tcndcr  eyes 
of  tile  .\rchduke  Sebas- 
tian.     She    was    silent. 
Ko    word    had    as    yet 
been   spoken.     .She   w;is 
delicate  of  the  first  one. 
Then    came    his    voice, 
unlike,  yet  deeply  like.     "Have 
you  waited  ?''  he  asked. 

Ethel    felt    the    need    of    a 

great  simplicity.     "You  know 

I  have,"  she  said. 

After  that,  for  minutes  without  end,  tlie 

world    swirled   by    in    flower   scents   and 

moon   radiance   and    the   star-strewn   sky 

and  kisses  and  low  words.     Love. 

Ethel's    joy    shone   about    her,   a   halo, 
when  she  returned  to  her  mother  and  the 
reception   committee.     She  couldn't  keep 
her  joy  confined.    Her  tolerance  embraced 
even  her  mother,  who  would  see,  as  cause 
for  joy,  only  the  fact  of  the  .\rchdukery. 
Xexertheless,    she    told    her,    and,    breathless 
with  this  latest  stroke  of  a  kindly  fate,  -Mrs. 
Parker-J.  planned  to  announce  the  tremendous 
news.     This,  she  said,  was  pre-eminently  the 
time.     It  was  striking  while  the  iron  was,  so  to  speak, 
hot.    label,  heedless  of  the  world  knowing  or  not  know- 
ing, gave  her  half-dazed  assent.     Nothing  of  all  this 
made  very  much  difference.     .She  had  come,  with  rev- 
erence and  joy,  into  the  High  Courts  of  Love.     She 
was  remote. 
Mrs.  Wanley  and  .\mbrose  Holland,  arriving  on  the  outer 
edge   and  hearing  of   the   proposed   announcement,   saw   the 
thing  as  a  practical  joke  gone  decidedly  wrong.     This,  they 
felt,  would  involve  too  much   for  the  joyous  fillip  of  humil- 
iating the  impossible  Mrs.  P. -J.    This  would  involve  too  much 
responsibility  for  the  gratification  of  an,  after  all,  unimpor- 
tant vengeance.    They  decided  to  appeal  to  the  pseudo  Arch- 
duke, and,  appealing,  found  him  adamant. 

"The  thing  is  precipitated  now."  he  said ;  "the  kindest  thing 
to  do  is  to  let  this  affair  go  ofT,  just  for  tonight.  Afterward, 
let  her  down.  She  will  be  able  to  bear  it  better  after  her 
triumphal  hour.  Anyway,  you  are  responsible  for  the  hoa.x, 
neither  the  Jenningses  nor  I.  They  will,  therefore,  be  ab- 
solved and  you  yourselves  will  harbor  what  blame  there  will 
be.  I  thjnk  you  will  both  deserve  it  for  not  recognizing  in 
Mrs.  Parker-Jennings  a  spoiled  and  fretted  woman  taking  out 
her,  after  all,  childish,  silly  spites.  I  think  it  is  all  up  to  you, 
both  of  you." 

Panicky,  Ambrose  Holland  confes.sed  to  the  Parker- 
Jenningses.  Confessed  the  hoa.x  which  had  made  of  the 
waiter,  Jack  Straw,  the  Archduke,  Sebastian.  It  was  a  con- 
fession with  horrible  results.  Mrs.  Parker-Jennings  dropped 
from  her,  as  one  drops  a  flimsy  cape,  the  aristocracy  of  her 
millions.  She  ranted  and  raged  and  all  but  gnashed  her  teeth. 
She  had  been  on  the  very  threshold  of  a  supreme  achievement, 
and  lo!  it  was  snatched  from  her  and  she  was  given  a  cup  of 
the  bitterest  gall.  .Society,  all  but  her  own,  was  once  again 
unattainable.  She  wept  until  her  lashined  eyes  were  red- 
rimmed,  even  as  they  had  been  in  the  days  when  she  bent 
over  her  kitchen  range  to  test  her  homely  breads  and  pies.

CLASSIC 


1 1  was,  after  all,  Jack  Straw  who  saved  her  immediate  skin. 
ile  persisted  in  his  original  idea  of  going  thru  with  the 
reception  and  announcement  as  had  been  planned.  The  glory 
of  it  all,  he  maintained,  would  remain  firmly  in  the  thoughts 
of  assembled  society.  The  divulging  of  the  hoax  would  come 
more  easily  afterward.  In  the  meantime,  something  would 
have  been  established.  There  would  be  a  comprehensive  pity 
for  Mrs.  Parker-Jennings,  not  unnii.xed  with  awe  at  her  splen- 
did hostess-ship.  Society  was  accustomed  to  being  hoaxed. 
She  would  not  be.  because  of  this,  beyond  the  pale.  Mrs. 
Parker- Jennings,  all  but  lost  in  her  own  esteem,  seized,  none 
tlie  less,  at  this  granted  reprieve. 

The  evening  and  Jack  Straw  were  successful.  .Society 
seemed  captivated,  by  the  entertainment,  by  the  Archduke  and 
also  by  his  prospective  bride.  They  went  away  imbued  with 
the  charm,  wit  and  gallantry  of  the  man.  The  papers  carried 
gallant  tales  of  him :  how  he  had  written  anonymously  to 
Etliel  Jennings  for  some  months;  the  way  he  had  hurled  the 
poet,  Scrlo,  into  the  lake  because  he  had  expressed  sentiments 
to  F.thcl  which  the  Archduke  considered  inexpressible;  the 
home  he  was  going  to  give  her;  the  almo.st- royalty  of  it  all ;  the 
way  the  Archduke  had  disappeared  some  time  ago  from  his 
kingdom  and  had  thus  arid  in  this  |)lace  revealed  himself.  It 
was  a  charming  romance. 

label  Jennings  read  it  and  was  able  to  %mile  over  it.  Was 
even  glad  that  she  had  been,  as  .she  was,  tested.  .She  loved 
him.  She  knew  that  now.  That  he  was  "just  Jack  .Straw" 
made,  miraculously  even  to  her,  no  kind  of  conceivable  dif- 
ference. He  was  the  man  for  whom  she  had  been  waiting, 
the  man  who  liad  kist  her  into  an  acceptance  of  life  and  living, 
there  in  the  conservatory,  the  radiant  being  who  had  led  her 
into  the  High  Court  of  Love.  The  mere  matter  of  who  he 
was  was  no  matter  at  all. 

The  matter  of  who  he  was  seemed,  however,  to  admit  of 
various  doubts  and  comjilications.  One  of  the  features  of 
tlie  reception,  indeed,  had  been  the  arrival  of  the  Ambassador 
of   Pokerania,    native   kingdom    of   the    supposed   Archduke. 


Those  in  the  secret  supposed  that  it  was  the  short-sightedness 
of  the  Ambassador  which  caused  him  to,  apparently,  acknowl- 
edge the  Archduke  Sebastian. 

When,  on  the  following  morning,  he  called  upon  the  Arch- 
duke at  the  Jennings  home,  he  found  the  luggage  of  that  young 
nrian  being  hurled  upon  the  front  lawns,  to  the  complete  demoli- 
tion of  the  flower-beds,  and  the  young  man  himself  in  the 
extreme  eventuality  of  following  said  luggage.  He  was  in- 
formed by  an  irate  Mrs.  P.-J.  that  this  was  no  Archduke,  but 
a  waiter  in  the  hotel  nearby,  an  impostor  and  the  cause  of  her 
immediate  downfall,  just  when  victory  had  been  so  near. 

The  Ambassador  amazed  them  all.  He  pooh-poohed  her 
statement  with  some  show  of  outraged  dignity  himself.  The 
young  man,  he  claimed,  was  indeed  the  missing  Archduke  who, 
some  years  before,  had  been  very  ill  and  had  evidently  wan- 
dered away  while  suffering  from  some  sort  of  amnesia.  The 
Ambassador  had  proofs  of  identification,  many  photographs  and 
other  things,  the  surveying  of  which  brought  back  to  Jack 
Straw  that  man  he  had  been  when,  fifteen  years  before,  he  had 
set  surreptitiously  forth  upon  his  wanderings. 

Mrs.  Parker-Jennings  knew,  in  that  moment,  what  it  was 
to  faint  from  joy.     She  took  pleasure  in  the  faint. 

Ethel  knew,  still  again,  what  it  means  to  love.  The  outer 
manifestations  of  the  state  in  life  of  Jack  Straw  passed  over 
her,  wholly  non-essential.  She  told  him  that  she  had  quite  lost 
track  of  which  of  the  two  he  might  be.  Jack  Straw  or  the  Arch- 
duke Sebastian.  He  said,  loving  her,  that  it  didn't  matter. 
Xnd  she  agreed  with  him. 

"There's  only  one  identity  worth  while  for  me,"  he  told  her, 
and  she,  within  his  arms,  whispered,  "And  what  is  that?" 

''The  man  you  love,"  he  said,  "the  man  .  .   .  you  .  .  .  love." 


'There's  only  one 
identity  worth 
while  for  me,"  he 
told  her,  "the 
man  you  love  "

The  Celluloid  Critic 

The  Newest  Photoplays  in  Review 

By  FREDERICK  JAMES  SMITH 

Pe.i  Impressions  by  NORMAN  JACOBSEN 


OUT  of  a  (lull  month   in  the  cinema  stands  Irvin  Willat's  visualization 
of  the  Gouvenieur  Morris  .Uory,  ''Behind  the  Door."    We  say  this  not 
from  approval  of  the  thesis  of  Mr.  Morris'  tale,  but  from  appreciation 
of  a  well-knit  scenario,  skillfully  directed  and  played  with  a  fine  vigor. 

"Behind  the  Door,"  (Paramount),  is  an  opus  in  brutality — an  inter- 
mezzo in  gory  revenge.  Mr.  Morris  asks:  What  would  you  do  if  you  saw 
your  wife  taken  prisoner  by  a  bestial  captain  of  a  German  submarine  who 
left  you  adrift  in  the  open  sea'  Mr.  Morris'  hero,  being  a  taxidermist, 
pleasantly  decides  to  skin  the  Hun  officer  alive  and,  when  chance  later 
throws  the  U-boat  in  the  path  of  his  scout  ship,  he  carries  out  his  revenge, 
at  least  in  part.  But  not  quite,  for  the  ex-taxidermist  sighs,  "I  swore  1 
would  skin  him  alive,  but  he  died  on  me — damn  him!" 

It  isn't  an  appealing  tale,  this  filming  of  brutal  vengeance.  There  is  too 
much  of  the  material  side  of  life  in  every  photoplay,  too  little  of  the  sweet- 
nesses, the  sacrifices,  the  really  heroic  things  of  the  every  day.  "Behind 
the  Door"  is  a  ghastly  ejiic  in  war  hysteria,  but  it  is  admirably  done. 

Mr.  WiUat  has  sujierbly  handled  a  number  of  difficult  moments,  notably 
the  shelling  and  sinking  of  the  submarine.  He  has  evolved  a.iother  re- 
markably powerful  scene,  wherein  the  American  wrings  the 
sordid  story  from  the  Cierman  officer.  Hobart  Bosworth 
is  decid^'dlv  stiong  in  this  role,  over-playing  but  occasion- 
ally a  role  that  would  be  maudlin  in  most  any  othe/ 
hands.  Jane  Novak  is  excellent  as  the  wife  sacrificed  to 
war.     Let  us  pause  to  note  the  uniformly  human  playing 


of  Miss  Novak  in  all  her  roles,  but  par- 
ticularly in  this.  Wallace  Beery,  too,  is 
striking  as   the   U-boat   commander. 

Again    is   Alia    Nazimova's   vivid   art 
submerged   in   "Stronger   Than   Death," 
(Metro),    an    adaptation    of    I.    A.    R. 
VVylie's    novel   of    India,    "The    Hermit 
Doctor  of  Gaya." .  We  do  not  know  the 
merit    of    the    original,    but    "Stronger 
Than  Death"  is  draggy,  labored  and  con- 
ventional.    Nazimova  plays  an   English 
dancer  in  the  East,  a  young  woman  told 
by  her  physicians  that  another  dance  will 
mean  death.     But  she  meets  the  hermit 
doctor,    who,    single-handed,    is    fighting 
cholera,  and,   imbued  with   his  sacrifice 
and  in  order  to  gain  time  that  a 
native  uprising  may  be  forestalled, 
poses  as  a   reincarnated  vestal — 
and    dances.       The    doctors    are 
wrong,  of  course,  for  th^  dancer 
lives   to  gain  happiness  with   her 
lover. 

We  do  not  know  just  who  is  to 
blame,  but  both  the  continuity  and 
the  direction  shift  the  interest 
from  Nazimova  to  Charles  Bry- 
ant, who  plays  the  self-sacrificing 
hermit  physician.  "Stronger  Than 
Death"  is  but  fair  in  the  matter 
of  Herbert  Blache's  direction  and 
is  too  long  and  wandering  -in  its 
telling.  Mme.  Nazimova's  oppor- 
tunities are  slight.

MOTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC 

luo  contrasting  photoplays  :  one  a  delightful  but  slight  comedy, 
tlu-  other  a  vague  and  badly  built  melodrama. 

"She  Loves  and  Lies,"  (Select),  isa  light  little  tale — of  a 
vivacious  girl  who  poses  as  an  elderly  woman  of  wealth  in 
order  that  she  may  marry  the  man  of  her  choice.  Then,  as  her 
veal  self,  she  actually  wins  his  heart.  When  divorce  seems  to 
face  the  worried  husband,  she  throws  disguises  aside  —and  he 
linds  that  he  has  fallen  in  love  with  his  wife.  The  comedy  is 
<lone  with  nice  spontaneity  by  Director  Chet  VVithey.  Miss 
Talmadge  is  charming  as  the  much-di.sguised  heroine  and 
Conway  Tearle  is  a  delightful  foil. 

On  the  other  hand.  Miss  Talmadge's  "A  Daughter  of  Two 
Worlds,"  (First  National),  is  far-fetched  and  impossible  stuff, 
badly  told  in  continuity  and  direction  and  but  indifferently 
acted.  This  deals  with  the  efforts  of  a  girl  of  the  underworld 
to  find  happiness  in  a  higher  strata  of  society.  James  Young, 
the  director,  has  failed  to  clearly  place  his  characters,  has  been 
inexpert  in  many  of  his  scenes  and,  on  the  whole,  has  turned 
out  an  inferior  and  slow-moving  melodrama.  True,  we  doubt 
i  f  any  director  could  have  done  much  with  it. 

Doug  Fairbanks'  latest,  "When  the  Clouds  Roll  By,"  (United 
.\rti.sts),  is  at  least  n  little  different.  Doug  plays  a  supersti- 
tious chap  who  falls 
under  the  persuasions 
of  a  mysterious 
stranger — a  man  who 
turns  out  to  be  an  es- 
caped lunatic.  Doug 
overcomes  all  ob.stacles, 
including  a  real  flood. 
The  climax  finds  Doug 
in  a  tree  in  the  midst 
of  the  inundation.  A 
house,  with  the  heroine 
clinging  to  the  roof, 
floats  by.  Splash ! — 
and  Doug  is  beside  her. 
Then  a  church,  with  a 
parson  astride  the 
steeple,  comes  drifting 
by.  The  young  couple 
succeed  in  maneuvering 
their  house  alongside 
the  church — and  the

Told  in  Story  Form  from  the  Vitagraph-Earle  Williams  Photoplay 

By  ALEXANDER  LOWELL 


Hi;.\KY  Ki:i.i,oi;i;  was  flushed  by  the  wine  of  the  grape  anil 
the  headier  wine  of  success.  He  could  afford  to  he  ex- 
pansive, and  he  was.  He  eyed  his  friend  and  the  sharer 
of  his  Park  .\vcnue  bed  and  board  with  a  speculative  as  well 
as  a  kindly  eye.  I'inally  he  said.  ''Dont  be  desixmdent,  old  man. 
You'\e  always  been  successful  in  one  line,  at  least." 

Xalhaniel  Duncan  didn't  raise  his  head  nor  cease  his  nerv- 
ous tiddlin(;  with  a  macerated  cigaret.  Hut  he  said,  color- 
les.sly,  "What  line?" 

"Women,"  said  Kellog;,'  and  shot  him  a  glance. 

"Oh,  that  ..." 

"It  could  be  remunerative,  v'know.     I've  a  (ilan." 

"Shoot." 

"Dont  be  so  lifeless.  One  thing  you've  got  to  have  is  pep 
.  .  .  your  old-time  pep.  It's  your  asset.  Your  stock  in  trade. 
All  you've  got  to  do  is  be  yourself." 

"I  cant  cash  in  on  that.     You  know  tliat." 

"No,  I  dont.  The  point  is,  that  you  have  never  been  your- 
self. S'ou've  tried  to  b.e  everybody  but  yourself,  every  kind 
of  type.  That's  why  you  haven't  succeeded.  You  need  the 
chance  of  self-development.    You  can  get  that  by  .  .   ." 

"By  .   .  .  ?" 

"Hy  marriage.  ' 

"I'm  damned  if  I  do!  I  cant  support  myself.  What  th'  hell 
d'you  mean  coming  in  here  with  a  line  of  jibber  like  this? 
Cant  you  see  I'm  on  my  ui)pers  for  fair?  Down  and  out?  I'm 
in  no  mood  for  your  l)ibulous  mirth.  You've  had  a  big  suc- 
cess. I  can  see  that.  I  can  even  be  glad.  But  dont  stand  on 
the  pinnacle  of  it  and  throw  your  fool  cabbage-roses  down  at 
me.    They  .   .   .  tonight  they  hurt." 

Henry  Kellogg  shook  his  head.  "You've  got  me  as  wrong 
as  I've  got  you  light,  old  man,"  he  said;  "actually,  I'm  in  ear- 
nest. Here  you  are,  college-bred,  the  son  of  a  millionaire  who, 
kindly  enough,  he  thought,  robbed  you  of  incentive  and  con- 
se(|uently  of  initiative.  Result,  failure  and  discouragement. 
What  he  didn't  lob  you  of,  however,  is  your  appearance,  your 
charm  foi'  women — oh,  a  decent  enough  charm,  I  know  that ; 
in  short,  your  personality.  My  plan  is  for  you  to  go  to  some 
.small  town  a  safe  distance  from  any  city.  The  sort  of  town 
vhere  a  man  like  you  would  be  Prince  Charming  come  to  flesh

and  blood,  set  all  the  hearts  a-flutter,  a  thing  of  fairyland,  you 
know  ...  all  that  .  .  .  I'll  slake  you  to  all  exjienses  and  a 
wardrobe  fit  to  knock  the  eyes  out  of  lifty  local  belles,  .ind  all 
you  have  to  do  is  .  .  .  to  marry  tlie  town  heiress.  There's 
always  a  town  heiress.  .  ///  you  need  to  do,  say,  is  .  .  .  to  be 
your  father's  son." 

Nathaniel  Duncan  had  one  faculty.  He  realized  a  limit 
when  a  limit  liad  been  reached.  Today  he  knew 
that  he  had  reached  one.  He  had  had  dreams, 
perhaps  oddly.  He  had  had  ideals.  He  had 
even  mused  on  love  and  the  |)a  t  it  would  play 
in  his  life;  on  marriage  and  the,  building  u[)  of 
a  home.  Oi  course,  it  would  take  love  to  do 
that.  The  ]ilan  Kellogg  suggested  jilaced  the 
limit  on  that.  He  could  marry  the  town  heiress 
and  lie  could  bid  farewell  to  his 
dreams  of  conlcur  dc  rose. 

Well  .    .    . 


and  choos- 
ers ...  he 
knew  that 
old  adage. 
And  he 
knew  that

It  was  an  unforgettable 
supper.  Bread  and

clothes,  redolent  of  the  success

checks  can  bring.  He  gave  Kel- 
logg his  word,  which,  at  least,  he 
had  maintained  and  made  good, 
and  they  shook  on  it. 

Two    weeks    later    beheld    him 

alighting  at  the  rather  impoverished 

appearing  station  of  Radville,  O. 

Radville,  O.,  station  or  otherwise,  seldom  if  ever  had  seen 

anvtiiing  resembling   Xathaniel   Duncan   alight.      He   was,   so 

to  speak,  an  innovation.     A  breath-taking  one.     To  a  man,  it 

sat  up  and  tocjk  notice. 

Xathaniel  had  a  charming  way.  He  had  the  priceless  knack 
of  making  friends.  He  could  talk.  He  went  to  Radville  de- 
termined to  like  Radville,  and  ecpially  determined  to  make 
Radville  like  him.  ?Ie  began  with  Hetty  Carpenter,  the  vil- 
lage gossip,  to  whose  domicile  he  was  directed  for  bed  and 
board.  Rather  different,  he  reflected,  ruefully,  as  its  spare 
clapboards,  thinly  jiainted.  dawned  upon  him,  from  Park 
Avenue  and  the  opulent  Kellogg.     Still   .   .    . 

He  unpacked  his  "props"  quite  ostentatiously  before  the 
trained  eyes  of  Hetty  Carpenter.  Hetty  had  little  enough  on 
which  to  feed  her  one  acute  sense,  the  gossip  sense,  in  Rad- 
ville, and  she  made  the  most  of  her  lean  opportunities.  This 
one,  she  felt,  howevt  r,  to  be  other  than  lean.  The  young  man, 
besides  a  magazine  cover  appearance,  had  the  gossip  material 
of  a  Rible,  apparently  fervently  thumbed,  dog-eared  student 
books  and  a  goodly  roll  of  the  green  bills  of  the  realm.  Here, 
indeed,  was  material  and  to  spare.  By  nightfall  every  person 
in  Radville  knew  of  the  arrival  of  the  miraculous  young  man 
and  each  minutest  particular  thereof.  Also,  by  the  same 
token.  Xathaniel  knew  each  minutest  particular  of  each  in- 
habitant of  Radville.  He  knew,  pertinently,  that  Josie  Lock- 
wood  was  the  town  heiress,  considerably  an  heiress,  what  was 
more,  and  that  her  father  was  an  old  skinflint  and  that  he 
owned  the  bank  wherein  worked  one  Roland  Rarnett,  who 
had  long  had  the  same  Josie  as  the  object  of  his  clerkship. 


MOTION  PICTURE 

He  knew,  too,  that  the 
town  paupers  were  Sam 
(iraham  and  his  daugh- 
ter, Betty.  That  Sam 
was  a  pauper  because 
his  pockets  had  always 
leaked  and  his  heart  had 
overgrown,  and  that 
Betty  was  the  cuddliest 
lamb  this  side  of  the 
paved  streets  and  loved 
nearly  to  the  death  in 
.si)ite  of  her  jioverty 
by  Radville.  Contrari- 
wise, Xathaniel  felt  a 
glow  when  he  heard  of 
the  impecunious  Betty 
and  her  dad,  and  a  cold, 
frigid  little  feeling  when 
he  heard  the  descri])tion 
of  the  gilded  Josie.  But 
that,  he  thought,  was 
just  him,  his  mulish  na- 
ture. 

He  thought  rather  dif- 
ferently, tho,  after  he 
had  met  the  heiress  and 
likewise  the  grey-eyed, 
starry- faced  pauper.  He 
felt  that  his  instincts  had 
been  right.  He  met 
them  both  in  church, 
whence  he  was  conduct- 
ed, as  a  matter  of  course, 
by  Hetty  Carpenter,  not 
without,  on  her  jiart,  an 
air  of  triumph.  Kellogg 
had  warned  him  that  church  would  be  ]iart  of  the  game  in  a 
small  town,  and  he  had  rehearsed  sanctimonious  expressions 
which,  he  felt,  he  successfully  executed,  .\fter  all,  there  was 
a  sort  of  glow  to  it.  These  simple  folk,  each  one  a  part  and 
parcel  of  the  other's  life,  participant  in  their  births,  jiartici- 
pant,  too,  in  their  deaths,  offering  their  sini]ile  joint  worshi|) 
to  an  indisputable  God.     Things  felt  clearer,  somehow. 

After  worship  Hetty  Carpenter,  with  the  air  of  a  convoy, 
]iresented  him  to  Josie  Lockwood.  His  heart  sank,  even  while 
he  knew  it  had  no  obvious  reason  for  so  doing.  Josie  was 
tall  and  slenderly  made  and  golden-haired  and  with  a  certain 
sort  of  manner.  She  quite  evidently  knew  her  position  and 
]irestige  in  Radville,  and  just  as  evidently  was  deliberately  nol 
making  use  of  it.  There  was  a  beyond-Radville  cleverness  to 
Josie.  And  yet  ....  and  yet  .  .  .  the  chill,  the  frigidity, 
grew  .  .  .  X^athaniel  could  not  seem  to  picture  the  stately 
Josie  rearing  up  the  edifices  of  his  trample'd  little  dreams  .  .  . 
Betty  Graham,  the  town  pauper,  had  a  difference.  He 
didn't  know  what  it  was,  but  he  knew  that  it  was.  She  wasn't 
so  much  of  a  "looker"  ;  she  didn't  have  airs  and  graces,  her 
hair  was  blowing  about  under  her  wide  straw  hat,  an  old  hat, 
but  her  mouth  was  frank,  like  a  child's,  and  her  eyes  were 
frank,  too,  like  early  dew,  and  eager  and  expectant,  and  her 
little  hand  was  warm  and  even  eager.  .She  invited  Xathaniel 
home  for  sujiper,  adding  that  there  wouldn't  be  "much,"  and 
so  did  Josie  Lockwood,  adding  no  such  thing,  and  Xathaniel 
went  home  with  Betty  Graham.  Inwardly  he  groaned  while 
something  in  his  cardiac  region  sang,  and  was  vindicated.  It 
was,  he  knew,  his  lack  of  business  acumen  again  attacking 
and  conquering  him. 

It  was  an  unforgettable  supper.  Bread  and  cheese,  and  the 
thought,  at  least,  of  kisses.  Old  Sam  Graham  talking  inven- 
tive possibilities  and  speaking  with  gentle  whimsy  of  the 
drug-shop.  Betty  hovering  over  them  both,  making  the  insuffi- 
cient food  manna  to  one  of  them  at  least. 

"Rot!"  said  Nathaniel  to  himself,  and  gave  himself  a  shake, 
but  sotnething  within  him  denied  the  allegation  and  persisted  in 
singing  fantastic  little  tunes,  all  glad,  all  free,  all  promise-fidl.

CLASSIC 


Lots  of  things  came  from  that  first  little  svipjier.  Nathaniel 
took  a  fancy,  not  only  to  Betty,  but  to  Sam  as  well,  with  his 
dreaming  iin|)iacticability,  the  broken  hopes  he  had  strewn  all 
along  his  way,  the  thing  he  might  liave  been  and  the  thing  he 
was.    There  was  a  bond. 

Also,  the  drug-store  promised  things  Nathaniel  felt  that 
with  these  gentle,  im[)overished  visionaries  and  his  five  hun- 
dred dollars  something  could  be  made  of  the  store.  Then, 
too,  girls  jiatronize  soda  fountains,  particularly  and  especially 
when  a  tall  young  man  with  a  pleasing  i^ersonality  dispenses 
the  frappes,  the  vanilla  and  the  nut  sundaes.  The  drug-store 
might  be  made  to  jiay  in  moie  ways  than  one. 

It  did.  Nathaniel  bought  syrups,  bought  fi.xlures,  paid  off 
old  credits  and  stood,  himself,  behind  the  polished  and  n>-uly 
ornamented  fountain. 

In  the  evenings,  he  and  Sam  worked  over  Sam's  automatic 
.soda  fountain.  He  found  a  great  deal  that  was  good  in  it; 
found,  as  was  the  case  with  most  of  Sam's  dreams  and  jilans, 
that  it  had  not  been  marketed  properly  and  at  once  had  found 
obscurity.  He  wrote  to  Kellogg  about  it,  wlio  was  ever  on 
the  lookout  for  the  new  and  the  jiossible.  He  wrote,  too,  that 
he  had  an  interest  in  the  invention,  that  he  believed  in  it  and 
that  he  wished  that  Kellogg*  would  "let  him  off."  He  insinu- 
ated that  he  didn't  care  an  awful  lot  for  the  town  heiress,  who 
was  "a  good  sort,  biU " 

Kellogg  wired  back,  "Nothing  doing." 

That  same  night  Nathaniel  escorted  Josie  home  from  the 
prayer  meeting  he  made  a  habit  of  attending.  On  Josie's  other 
side  walked  the  all  but  dis])laced  Roland,  who  Iiad,  before  the 
advent  of  Nathaniel,  been  considered,  and  considered  himself, 
the  flashiest  boy  in  town.  To  Roland,  who  really  nurtured  a 
passion  for  the  stately  Josie  aside  entirely  from  his  mutilated 
pride,  the  presence  of  Nathaniel  was  insup|iortable.  Before 
they  reached  the  Lockwood  mansion  the  thin  skin  of  Roland 
Barnett  was  insufficient  protection  for  the  primitive  passions 
always  so  near  to  the  surface.  He  fell  upon  the  surprised 
Nathaniel  and  they  "had"  it.  Nathaniel  conquered.  He  never 
knew  w'hy,  unless  it  was  because  he  had  had  such  bully  training 
at  college  and  was,  at  the  assault,  red  mad.  Anyway,  Josie 
sereamed  and  the  sheriff  intervened,  and  when  it  was  all  over 
the  conquering  hero  escorted  Josie  home  and  something — it 
may  have  been  his  turbulent  blood,  of  which  she  had  been  the 
really  unwitting  cause, 
or  it  may  have  been 
hunger  for  some  soft 
touch,  or  the  moon,  or 
sheer  madness — anyway, 
he  kist  her  at  her  gate- 
way, and  [Hit  the  fatal 
query  and  was  affirma- 
tively answered,  and  it 
wasn't  until  he  reached 
home — home  being,  by 
this  time,  the  (irahams' 
— that  he  knew  that  he 
loved  Betty. 

He  knew  when  she 
met  him  at  the  gate,  with 
her  face  coming  out  of 
the  du.sk  like  a  little, 
bruised  white  flower, 
and  her  starry  eyes  all 
dimmed  and  her  clear 
voice  all  trembly  because 
she'd  heard  he  "had  got 
hurt."  He  knew  poign- 
antly, sharply,  painfully, 
sweetly,  unforgettably 
and  for  all  time.  .\n(l 
because  it  was  so  true 
and  so  strong  and  came 
upon  h  i  m  with  such 
breath-taking  sweetness 
and  force  he  didn't  have 
time    to    collect    all    the

emotions  that  rushed  in  upon  him,  and  he  had  her  against  his 
heart  and  was  kissing  her.  .\nd  then  it  occurred  to  him  that 
lie  had  just  kist  Josie  Lockwood,  and  was  pledged  to  her,  and 
he  dropped  down  on  his  knees  with  a  groan  and' kist,  not  (jnce, 
hut  many  times,  the  frayed  hem  of  her  little  cotton  gown.  He 
said  that  he  was  not  worthy  of  her  and  many  things  along  the 
same  line,  but  love  had  made  wise  the  heart  of  little  Betty 
( irahani,  and  she  knew  that  men  say  such  things  in  such  an 
hour,  and  she  smiled  while  the  tears  of  her  love  glistened  on 
his  hair  and  caught  the  vagrant  star  gleams  and  held  them  .   .   . 

It  was  very  sweet  .   .    . 

The  next  day  Nathaniel  told  Betty  of  his  enforced  engage- 
ment to  Josie.  He  told  her  all  about  Kellogg,  and  how  he. 
Nathaniel,  bad  tried  to  beg  off,  and  how  Kellogg  had  refuseil 
him  his  i)lea  and  so  he  had  had  to  go  thru  with  it.  Betty  said 
her  heart  was  broken  and  her  tears  came  again,  from  the 
broken  depths  of  her  tenderness,  and  Nathaniel  said  his  was, 
too,  and  tliey  stared  with  the  uncompromising  eyes  of'  youth 
into  what  they  deemed  to  be  uncomjiromising  tragedy. 

Dispensing  sodas,  sundaes  and  other  frivolities  that  after- 
noon, Nathaniel  felt  as  tho  he  nnist  be  giving  wormwood  and 
gall  in  the  glass  receptacles.  His  soda  fountain  popularity  cost 
him  dearly  that  day.  His  smiles,  he  felt,  were  so  many  self- 
\  ictories  achieved  f lom  the  very  spirit  of  bitterness. 

The  following  day  dropped  the  Damoclean  sword,  .so  to 
speak.  Henry  Kellogg  arrived  in  town,  having  received  from 
Nathaniel  a  sketch  of  .Sam  Graham's  invention.  He  was.  he 
said,  interested.  Nathaniel  presented  Betty,  .\fter  a  bit,  when 
they  were  alone,  Kellogg  gave  Nathaniel  a  quick  look.  "Betty 
is  the  reason,  yes?"  he  asked. 

"Reason  for  what?"  asked  Nathaniel,  dourly. 

"For  your — let  I'.s  call  it  begging  off." 

"^'es.     Yes,  j-ou  may  as  well  know  it,  1  love  her." 

"Really?" 

"Really  and  truly." 

"What  makes  you  so  certain?" 

"You    are    certain    when    love    conies,

Occasionally  the  law  int-ervenes  in  a  sense  of  liberation.  It 
did.  as  it  ha])|ioned,  for  Nathaniel  Duncan.  He  had  been  wan-

dispirited  to  go  to  the  store,  too  dispirited  to  seek  out  Josie 
and  put  it  u]i  to  her,  not  daring  to  face  the  soft,  the  terrible

Xew  York  last  graced  by  Nathan- 
iel's presence  in  the  capacity  of  a 
clerk,    money    had    been    missing. 


Dispensing  sodas,  sun- 
daes and  other  frivoli- 
ties that  afternoon 
Nathaniel  felt  as  tho  he 
must  be  giving  worm- 
wood and  gall  in  the 
glass  receptacles 


The  thief  had  escaped,  not  « itliout,  however,  being  seen  and 
a  description  given.  The  man  described  had  boarded  a 
train  going  in  the  direction  of  Radville.  The  police  had 
picked  up  the  clues  and  the  thievery  was  traced  to  the  amazed 
Nathaniel. 

An  hour  iir  two  or  three  before  he  was  aware  of  the  fact, 
all  of  Radville  knew  that  .\athaniel  Duncan  was  a  plain,  ordi- 
nary thief,  who  had  stolen  from  his  employer  and  had  fled 
to  hide  his  crime  and  himself  in  poor,  innocent  Radville. 

Nathaniel  himself,  however,  confronted  suddenly,  by  Josie 
Lockwood,  her  father,  the  winking  sheriff,  who,  loathing  the 
bonds  of  matrimony,  thouglit  this  an  opportunity  to  release 
Nathaniel,  did  not  deny  the  allegation.  He  admitted,  quite 
solemnly,  to  being  a  thief.  He  (lidn't  say  of  what.  He  ex- 
pressed no  surprise.  He  had  understood  the  sheriff,  h'or- 
mally,  then  and  there,  Josie  released  him.  or  rather,  dismissed 
him  with  hauteur  and  scorn.  She  was  last  seen  by  Nathaniel 
sobbing  away  her  outrage  in  the  consolatory  arms  of  Roland. 

In  the  (jrahanis'  back  yard  that  night,  or  that  twilight, 
.Xathaniel  sought  out  lietty  and  told  her  the  whole  truth. 
"It  was  a  ruse,  dear  heart,"  he  said,  "and  of  cour.se,  Josie  will 
know  that  it  was  when  she  learns  that  the  real  thief  has  been 
caught;  but  it  did  give  her  a  chance  to  prove  whether. or  no 
her  heart  was  involved,  and  you  see  it  wasn't.  H  it  had  been 
.   .   .  well,  she  would  have  stuck  anyway,  wouldn't  she,  I'letty?" 

"Yes,"  said  r>etty. 

"Love  is  like  that,  isn't  it!'"  went  on  Nathaniel.  "d\eal  lo\e, 
you  know  :  it  persists,  anyway,  all  the  time,  doesn't  it  ?" 

"Oh,  yes."  whispered  Betty. 

"Then  everything's  all  right,"  said  Nathaniel,  coming  clo.ser; 
"the  invention  is  going  to  go  .  .  .  Kellogg,  God  love  him,  will 
make  it,  and  there  will  be  money  and  the  store  will  thrive  and 
you  and  I  .  .  .  and  I  and  you  ...  I  love  to  say  it,  darling, 
you  and  I  .   .    . " 

But  lietty  was  in  his  arms  and  he  could  not  speak  for  the 
kis.ses  on  his  mouth.

The  Ambitious 
Miss  Eddy 

By  ELIZABETH  PELTRET 

"iVi:  plavcd  dozens  of  love  scenes,"  said  Helen 
i  Eddy,  whose  work  with  George  Beban,  with 
Sessue  Hayakawa  and  more  recently  in  the 
King  Vidor  production,  "The  Turn  of  the  Road,'' 
has  given  her  a  place  in  screen  circles  peculiarly 
her  own,  "but."  she  went  on.  "I've  never  had  a 
real  love  affair  in  my  life."  Probably  it  is  this 
that  makes  Helen  F.ddy  so  different  from  other 
young  girls  of  her  age. 

The  game  of  hearts  that  interests  them  more 
than  an>-thing  else  has  no  interest  for  her  at  all. 
She  doesn't  talk  about  it  with  the  keen  relish 
most  girls  do.  She  regards  love  as  an  important 
ingredient  in  the  making  of  a  play,  .she  said.  We 
had  been  discussing  the  necessity,  or  lack  of 
necessity,  of  an  actress  having  some  basis  of 
actual  experience  as  a  foundation  for  her  char- 
acterizations. "But  I  dont  think  it  is  at  all  im- 
portant for  any  player  to  experience  any  emo- 
tion of  a  part  in  reality.  Of  course,  you  have  to 
realize  these  emotions  in  your  imagination,  and 
that  would  argue  some  basis  of  experience — at 
some  time." 
"Then  vou  believe  in  reincarnation  ?" 
"Yes;  it  seems  to  me  the  best  explanation  of 


Shortly  after  Helen 
Jerome  Eddy  left  a 
dramatic  school  in  Los 
Angeles  she  met  a  Lu- 
bin  director.  At  that 
time,  she  wanted  to  be 
a  scenario  writer.  The 
director  didn't  buy  her 
script — but  he  did  en- 
gage her  as  an  actress 


everything.  After  all, 
isn't  it  not  only  pos- 
sible but  probable 
that  I  have  taken  up 
the  broken  thread  of 
an  interrupted  work, 
that  I  have  had  much 
of  the  experience  nec- 
essary for  this  work 
and  that  it  alone  will 
be  sufficient  for  me  now  '' 

We  were  sitting  in  the  front  room  of  Iier  home 
on  \  an  X'ess  -Vvenue  in  Hollywood,  where  she 
lives  with  her  father  and  mother.  (Other  mem- 
bers of  the  family  are  three  very  lively  and  very 
affectionate  jnippies.) 

One's  first  impression  of  Helen  Eddy  is  of 
surprise — that  she  should  be  so  much  taller  than 
she  appears  on  the  screen.  Her  brown  eyes  are 
rather  round  in  sliape  and  have  in  them  sgnie- 
tliing  of  the  fatalism  of  the  Oriental.  .She  is  an 
indefatigable  worker.  When  she  is  not  at  the 
studio  she  is  usually  studying  or  rehearsing  a 
part  in  some  production  of  the  Hollywood  Com- 
munity Players.  Her  voice  is  deep,  well  culti- 
vated and  of  splendid  scope  and  power.  Her 
hair  is  a  glossy  black.  She  was.  you  will  re- 
member, a  remarkable  Italian  in  her  work  with 
George  Beban.  It  is  interesting  to  note  that  in  a 
recent  jiicture  with  .Sessue-  Ha\'akawa  she 
appears  just  as  characteristically  Chinese. 

Helen  Eddy  is  a   fatalist,     i^he   feels  that  in 
training    herself    to    become    an    actress    she    is

The  Fame  and  Fortune  Contest  for  1920 


Wi  were.  Ici  ^a\  the  least,  ileliglited  witli  the  results  of  the 
I'llO  l-aiiie  and  Kortune  Contest.  Thereby  we  veritied 
our  theory  that  the  world  in  general,  and  .\nierica  in 
l)articular,  are  still  well  su|i|)lied  with  cinema  possibilities,  both 
optically  and  dramatically.  ()nr  two-reel  feature,  "A  Dream 
of  I'air  Women,"  which  is  now  being  shown  thriiout  the 
country,  presenting  the  winners  and  honor  roll  beauties,  is 
))roof  of  our  success.  The  flattering  offers  received  by  win- 
ners and  honor  roll  girls  alike  show  how  highlv  producers 
regard  the  opinion  of  our  judges.  Hence  we  take  great  pleas- 
>ire  in  presenting  our  bigger  and  better  I'ame  and  Fortune 
Contest  for  1920. 

In  comiection  with  the  contest  now  in  progress  we  shall  pro- 
duce a  /■nT-Rfi'l  l-cutiirc  drama  for  the  honor  roll  beauties, 
w  ork  upon  «  hich"  is  already  under  way.  The  story  has  been 
.selected,  and  it  is  strong,  picturesque,  unique  and  original,  pre- 
senting unusual  opportunities  for  many  ]>layers  of  various 
types.  To  the  members  of  its  cast  who  measure  up  to  possi- 
bilities, this  production  will  give  unusual  publicity  and  proini- 
nence,  since  the  drama,  aside  from  being  a  product  of  the 
greatest  campaign  of  its 
kind,  would  stand  well-nigh 
alone  upon  its  own  histrionic 
merits. 

Those  contestants  whose  pic- 
tures appear  promising  will  be 
communicated  with  at  once, 
and  they  may — depending  upon 
ability — be  offered  a  part  in 
this  tive-part  play  immediately. 
While  we  are  now  starting 
production,  the  play  will  not 
be  completed  till  the  late  fall, 
since  as  a  special  feature  it  is 
to  contain  the  test  scenes  taken 
of  the  honor  roll  girls  at 
Roslyn,  N.  V. 

This  opportunity  is  not  lim- 
ited to  youth  and  beauty  alone, 
for  there  are  several  character 
types  needed,  both  male  and 
female,  some  of  whom  are  to 
play  big  parts.  We  suggest 
that  any  contestant  wishing  to 
apply   for  one  of  these  parts 

so     state     on     the     entrance  

coupon,   as   well   as   by   letter 
accompanying  photos. 

There  are  several  points  to  be  considered  in  the  choice  of 
photographs.  First,  do  not  submit  photos  that  lie.  Choose 
an  artistic  portrait  that  shows  you  up  to  the  best  advantage, 
hut  never  one  that  conceals  really  visible  defects.  A  false 
photo  may  win  a  place  on  the  honor  roll,  but  a  feat  so  accom- 
plished will  only  make  keener  your  disappointment  at  rejec- 
tion when  you  in  i)erson  apjiear  before  the  judges.  So  be  per- 
fectly honest  with  your  picture ;  it  will  pay  in  the  long  run. 
Furthermore,  we  must  have  at  least  one  straight  photograph. 
There  is  no  objection  to  an  e.xtra  tinted  photo,  but  our  main 
concern  is  how  you  will  show  up  on  the  screen,  whose  sole 
colors  are  black  and  white.  Then,  too,  if  you  .should  win  a 
place  on  the  honor  roll  a  tinted  picture  could  not  be  repro- 
duced. There  is  no  limit  to  the  number  of  pictures  that  may 
be  .sent  in ;  in  fact,  if  you  fail  to  .succeed  at  the  first  attempt, 
it  might  be  well  to  recall  that  anything  worth  while  is  worth 
repeated  efforts. 

It  will  be  well  to  here  review  the  salient  features  of  the  rules 
and  regulations  governing  the  contest.  In  the  first  place,  we 
Hii»,t/  have  regular  photographs,  not  sna])shots  or  post-cards ; 
and  be  certain  that  the  necessary  entrance  coupon  is  pasted 
upon  the  back  of  each  picture.  Bear  in  mind  when  entering 
the  contest  that  under  no  conditions  will  any  photo  be  returned.

FIVE-REEL  FEATURE 

Havine  successfully  produced  the  two-reel  feature, 
"A  Dream  of  Fair  Women,"  which  is  now  being 
shown  thruout  the  country,  presenting  the  honor  roll 
beauties  and  winners  of  die  1919  Fame  and  Fortune 
Contest,  we  now  take  pleasure  in  announcing  our 
plans  for  the  1920  contest.  We  shall  produce  a 
FIVE-REEL  FEATURE  drama  for  the  honor  roll 
contestants,  and  we  shall  start  on  this  immediately. 
The  story  has  already  been  selected,  and  it  is  a  strong, 
unique,  original  and  picturesque  one,  affording  fine 
opportunities  for  many  players  of  different  types. 

Those  contestants  whose  pictures  appear  to  us  to 
be  very  promising  will  be  communicated  with  at  once, 
and  they  may  be  offered  parts  in  this  unusual  play  im- 
mediately. While  we  are  now  starting  production, 
the  play  will  not  be  completed  until  late  in  the  fall, 
and  it  will  include  the  test  scenes  of  the  honor  roll 
beauties  which  will  be  taken  at  Roslyn.  In  this  pic- 
ture we  can  use  a  few  persons  other  than  young  and 
pretty  girls,  for  we  shall  need  several  character 
types  both  male  and  female.  All  contestants  who 
wish  to  apply  for  one  of  these  parts  will  kindly  so 
state  on  their  entrance  coupon,  or  in  a  letter  accom- 
panying photo. 


experience  is  allowable,  no  one  may  enter  who  has  already 
played  prominent  parts;  this  contest  is  for  amateurs  only, 
lioth  se.xes  and  all  nationalities  are  eligible  and  there  is  no  age 
limit ;  in  short,  any  one  other  than  well-known  actors  and 
actresses  may  comjiete. 

.\ll  four  winners  in  the  1019  contest  were  girls,  simply 
because  the  latent  Romeos  of  the  screen  were  so  utterly  indif- 
ferent. There  is  just  as  great  demand  in  jiictures  for  men  as 
there  is  for  women,  and  this  demand  ranges  from  the  "hand- 
some and  dashing"  juvenile  to  the  character  parts.  ^o,  men 
of  .\merica,  rouse  yourselves,  and  show  to  the  "femal  of  the 
species"  that  you  are  as  deadly  as  she  when  it  comes  to  silver- 
sheet  possibilities. 

.\nd,  finally,  we  eannot  answer  any  letters  in  regard  to  this 
contest.  C'bviously,  it  would  be  utterly  impossible  to  answer 
oil  of  the  hundreds  that  pour  in  daily ;  hence  we  will  answer 
none.  The  announcements  in  the  Motion  Pictvrk  Mac.a- 
zim:,  Classic  and  Siiadowland  will  cover  every  phase  of 
the  rules  and  regulations  governing  the  contest.  We  sh-"  also 
|iublish  special  articles  on  the  subject  from  time  to  time. 

Remember,  this  is  the  op- 
portunity of  a  lifetime;  I'or  to 
the  winner  or  winners,  as  the 
case  may  be,  we  give  invalu- 
able aid  in  winning  a  place 
among  the  bright  lights  of  the 
.shadow  stage.  We  guarantee 
an  engagerfient  and  will  give 
to  each  of  the  winners  two 
years'  publicity.  This  will 
consist  of  cover  portraits,  pic- 
tures in  the  gallery,  spe  ial 
articles  and  interviews  y 
prominent  writers  —  publicity 
that  cannot  be  bought  at  aj.y  i 
price!  Hence  we  can  promise  ! 
that  at  the  end  of  two  years  I 
the  winners  will — to  a  degree  ■ 
dejiending  upon  the  artistry  , 
of  their  work — be  known  thru- 
out the  civilized  world.  In 
other  words,  we  can,  thru  the 
power  of  publicity,  place  an 
amateur  possessing  unusual 
screen  possibilities  in  a  posi- 
tion of  prominence  such  as 
could  not  be  attained  thru 
single-handed  efforts  except 
after  a  long  and  arduous  struggle.     This  we  guarantee. 

This  feature  of  the  contest  is  invaluable  to  the  winners. 
True,  we  have  artists  of  the  screen  who  began  at  the  bottom 
and  worked  up  step  by  step — and  we  admire  them  all  the  more 
for  it — but  it  took  yeafs  of  struggling  against  fearful  odds. 
On  the  other  hand,  think  of  what  we  are  offering  you.  Thru 
our  three  magazines  we  bridge  this  great  gap  of  obscurity 
and  insignificance  and  immediately  place  you  in  the  position 
which  your  abilities  demand.  Why  linger  at  the  foot  of  the 
ladder  indefinitely  if  you  have  within  your  power  the  means 
of  covering  many  unessential  rtmgs  at  a  single  bound? 

So  here's  to  Fame  and  Fortune!  We  shall  put  over  the 
contest  and  its  resulting  feature  production  with  characteristic 
energy  and  e;;thusiasm.  Your  success  is  now  up  to  you. 
Meet  us  half-way  in  the  beginning,  and  if  you  possess  suffi- 
cient screen  |>ossibilities  we  can  give  you  the  opportunity  to 
make  a  place  among  the  great  artists  of  the  silversheet. 

In  connection  with  the  showing  of  "A  Dream  of  Fair 
Women,"  local  theaters  will  conduct  contests  under  the  patron- 
age of  our  magazines,  the  winners  in  which  will  be  placed  on 
our  honor  roll.  If  your  manager  has  not  heard  about  this,  tell 
him  to  write  to  Murra)'  W.  Garsson,  Foundation  Film  Corpo- 
ration, 1600  Broadway,  New  York  City,  for  details  and  litera- 
ture.   .\nnouncements  also  in  current  issues  of  our  publications.

Have  they  the  beauty  they  so  easily  can  gain? 


"t    lOVV  beautifully  turned  out,  how 
j     I    correct,"  you  thought — until  you 


caught  a  glimpse  of  her  nails. 


Then, 
yourself. 


"Shocking!"     you    said    to 


And  that  one  glimpse  of  her  care- 
lessly groomed  hands  left  an  impres- 
sion that  you  never  forgot. 


This  method  is  Ike 
xecrt't  of  the  per- 
fect, even  ciit'cle 
of  many  fashion- 
able women. 


Do  \ou  realize  how  easy  it  is  to 
keep  your  nails  lovely — so  lovely  that 
they  lend  you  that  assurance  which 
comes  from  the  knowledge  that  even 
the  most  critical  eye  can  find  nothing 
but  immaculate  perfection? 

The  secret  of  beautiful  nails 
lies  in  the  care  of  the  cuticle. 
This  is  the  most  important 
part  of  a  manicure.  The  more 
you  cut  the  cuticle  the  faster 
it  grows.  It  becomes  tough, 
thick,   and   hangnails  appear. 

You  can  keep  your  nails 
lovely  without  injuring  the 
cuticle. 


Cutex  is  a  harmk?;s  cuticle  re- 
mover. .Applied  to  the  cuticle,  it 
keeps  the  base  of  the  nail  smooth, 
firm,  crescent-like. 

Wrap  a  little  cotton  around  the 
end  of  an  orange  stick  (both  come  in 
the  Cutex  package),  dip  it  into  the 
bottle  of  Cutex  and  work  it  around 
the  base  of  the  nails,  gently  pushing 
back  <+ie  cuticle.  Instantly  the  dry 
cuticle  is  softened.  Wash  the  hands, 
pushing  back  the  cuticle  with  a  towel. 
The  surplus  cuticle  will  disappear, 
leaving  a  firm,  even,  slender  nail  base. 

If  >ou  like  snowy  white  nail  tips 
apply  a  little  Cutex  Xail  White  under- 
neath the  nails  directly  from  the  tube. 
Finish  your  manicure  with  Cutex  Xail 
Polish.  For  an  especially  brilliant,  last- 
ing polish,  use  Cutex  Paste  Polish 
first,  then  the  Cutex  Cake  or  Powder 
polish. 

If  your  cuticle  has  a  tendency  to 
dry  and  grow  coarse,  apply  a  bit  of 
Cutex  Cold  Cream  each  night.  This 
cream  was  especially  prepared  to  keep 
the  hands  and  cuticle  soft  and  fine. 

Give  yourself   this   manicure  regu- 


larly. Make  it  as  much  of  a  habit  as 
keeping  your  shoes  shined.  It  is  true 
that  one  Cutex  manicure  makes  your 
nails  look  lovely ;  but  you  cannot  keep 
them  well  groomed  by  irregular  care. 
Ciive  your  nails  a  Cutex  manicure 
rrgiilarty. 

Cutex  Cuticle  Remover,  Nail  White, 
Xail  Polish  and  Cold  Cream  are  35 
cents.  The  Cuticle  Remover  comes 
also  in  65  cent  bottles.  You  can  get 
Cutex  in  any  drug  or  department 
store  in  the  United  States,  Canada 
and  in  any  chemist  shop  in  England.

EMPTINESS 
By  Barbara  Mollis 
My  soul  went  out  to  the  soul  of  the  moon, 
As  she  rode  thru  her  studded  sky ; 
There  was  no  one  else  in  the  earth  or  air — 
There  were-  only  the  moon  and  I. 

I   traveled    far  in  that  mystic  land. 
Out   oyer   the    Bridge   of   Years. 
That  crosses  the  River  of  Time  and  Space 
With  its,  ripples  of  smiles  and  tears. 

I  passed  the  Gateway  of  Hopes  Long  Dead. 
With  the  Arch  that  is  built  out  of  Dreams ; 
And  walked  thru  the  Valley  of  Things  undone 
By  the  mortals  who  basked  in  her  beams. 

I.  too.   felt  the  spell  of  her  magic  rays, 
But  the  joy  from  my  heart  had  fled; 
.\nd  I  turned  away  with  a  bitter  sigh — 
For  the  soul  of  the  moon  was  dead. 


MR.    BROWN    QUALIFIES 

By  W.M.TER  E.  M\1R 

James  De  Lancey  Sterling  Brown 
(Classic  mug  but  hopeless  bean!) 

Dreamed  that  Fate  had  writ  him  down 
For  a  future  on  the  screen. 

So  he  journeyed  to  the  Coast. 

(Rather  logical  at  that!) 
But  he  dwindled  to  a  ghost. 

Looking  'round  for  "something  fat." 

Desperate  at  length  he  grew — 
(.Ah.  Los  .'\ngeles  was  cruel!) 

For  our  J.  D.  L.  S.  knew 
Fate  was  smiling  as  the  mule 

Smiles  upon  its  incubus : 

( Pause  we  now  to  drop  a  tear ! ) 
Phmged  he  'neath  a  jitney-bus. 

Broke  a  nose,  tore  off  an  ear. 


Later  on.  that  visage  rare 

(Ah.  the  murderous  extra-line!) 

He  displayed ;   someone  yelled  "There 
"Is  the  type  we're  after:  fine!" 

Steady  work  from  that  day  on  ! 

(Viva,  J.  D.  L.  S.  Brown!) 
Crooked-nosed,  with  beauty  gone, 

.As  a  bum  he  scooped  the  town. 

.Miinil.  friend.'    H'eH.  Ii'ni.  lei's  .u-e— 
(Moral  market's  mighty  slack!) 

lyity.  iili,  yes. — it  seems  lo  he: 
".ilzivys  keefi  on  coming  bock!" 


A  HOPELESS  CASE 
By  Vara  Macpf.th  Jones 
Brown  wished  to  be  very  emphatic 
When  he  spoke  of  a  friend  quite  erratic, 
Wlio  spent  all  his  days 
;\t  the  movie-plays; 
So  he  called  him  a  hopeless  FANatic! 


MOTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC

(Continued  from  pai/e  48) 

iridescence  of  sunset.  The  west  was 
aglow,  and  the  windows  we  approached 
gleamed  Hke  orange  lanterns  behind  a 
veil  of  rose  chiffon.  I  looked  at  Miss 
Keefe,  in  her  black  velvet  toque,  and  her 
squirrel-tn'mmed  suit.  Orchids  lent  an 
extra  tint  to  the  picture  that  I  sensed  she 
so  completely  harmonized. 

Manhattsn  spells  expectation.  .And 
Manhattan  at  twilight  spells  fulfillment. 
Zena  Keefe,  sitting  beside  me,  vibrant, 
alive  to  influence,  keen  to  interest,  spelled 
expectation  .  .  .  and  fulfillment  .  .  . 
and  expectation  all  over  again. 

Zena  comes  from  ,San  Francisco, 
where  at  an  early  age  she  became  a 
vaudeville  artist.  Mrs.  Keefe  recognized 
that  the  only  way  to.gain  development  is 
to  go  after  it.  So  Mother  Keefe  and 
Baby  Keefe  rolled  up  their  tent-flaps  and 
went  on  circuit  tour. 

Zena  laughs  now.  "At  every  diflFerent 
town  we  visited,  I  was  enrolled  in  a  new 
school.  I'm  not  the  least  bit  sorry  that  I 
didn't  get  the  academic  training  in  one 
particular  school,  because,  now  that  I 
look  back'' — which  isn't  so  awfully, 
awfully  far — "I  think  the  course  laid  out 
for  me  did  much  more  good.  The  rules 
were  few.  Tersely,  I  believe  I  was  drilled 
to  work  and  play,  as  much  at  one  as  at 
the  other  and — enjoy  both." 

The  primer  of  "Never  to  Be  Bored"  is 
as  innate  in  Zena  Keefe  as  A-B-C.  She 
claims  that  working  as  .she  did  when  a 
child  has  not  taken  away  her  youth  but, 
if  anything,  has  shot  it  out  ahead,  pre- 
ceding her.  All  the  work  that  she  did 
then  has  been  balanced  by  all  the  play 
she  can  aflord  today.  She  says  this,  but 
Zena  makes  me  feel  sure  that  when  she 
slept,  even,  she  giggled,  and  when  she 
wept,  if  ever — she  is  not  the  weeping- 
willow  sort — she'd  jazz  her  sobs  into 
oblivion.  Zena  may  some  day  catch  ufi 
to  her  kidhood,  but  she  will,  never  en- 
tirely grasp  it  so  that  it  can  absorb. 

Zena  may  be  of  the  footlights,  but.  like 
all  compensations  that  run  true  to  Emer- 
son, Zena  is  essentially  an  outdoor  girl. 
When  she  told  me  that  skiing  and  riding 
and  skating  were  her  middle  names,  and 
I  found  it  a  happy  surprise,  Zena  smiled, 
"Yes,  indeedy  I  I  may  look  fragile,  but 
if  I  bend  over  I  wont  break  my  back." 
The  one  expectation  of  her  heart  not  yet 
fulfilled  is  to— fly  ! 

Zena  let  'er  out  again,  and  this  time 
whizzed  past  the  freshmen.  "I  wish  some 
kind  fan  would  give  me  an  aeroplane 
for  Christmas,"  she  whispered  to  the 
wind.

plained  papa,  with  super-fatherly  calm. 
"Never-  cries — never.  It's  all  the  way 
you  bring  them  up.  Start  them  right 
and  they  go  right." 

Which  we  jotted  down  in  our  note-

How  to  Obtain  Beautiful,  Rich, 
Long,   Eyelashes   and    Broivs! 

EVERY  WOMAN  should  be  the  rightful  owner  of  beautiful  eyes,  the  essentials  of 
which  are.  First:  Long,  rich  eyelashes;  and  Second:  Well-cared-for  eyebrows.  No 
matter  what  color  your  eyes  may  be, — gray,  brown  or  blue. — if  they  arc  shaded 
by  thick,  silky  lashes,  and  well-shaped  brows,  their  charm  is  greatly  accentuated. 

Nowadays,  no  one  needs  to  be  the  dissatisfied  possessor  of  short,  thin,  uneven  brows 
and  lashes:  you  can  greatly  assist  Nature  by  limply  applying  a  little  of  M.  T.'s  Eyelash 
and  Eyebrow  Beautifier  at  night.  This  scientific  preparation  nourishes  the  eyebrows  and 
eyelashes,  causing  them  to  become  gradually  thick  and  lustrous,  imparting  sparkling  ex- 
pression to  the  eyes,  and  added  charm  to  the  face. 

M.  T.'s  Eyelash  and  Eyebrow  Beautifier,  which  has  been  successfully  used  by  thous- 
ands, is  guaranteed  absolutely  harmless;  it  is  not  a  ereasy.  sticky  salve,  but  a  clean, 
nicely-perfumed  iiquid,  in  a  cut  glass  bottle  with  glass  stopper  and  applicator.  The  cut 
represents  actual  size  of  bottle.  The  active  principle  of  this  valuable  article  is  a  rare  and 
expensive  organic  concentration  which  is  unequalled  for  the  purpose  of  stimulating  and 
strengthening   the  particular  follicles  which  produce  rich,  dark  eyelashes. 

MONEY    REFUNDED    IF    NOT   SATISFACTORY 
Upon  receipt  of  75c  in  stamps,  coin  or  Money   Order.   I   will  send  you  postpaid,  in  plain

A  Doll's  Apartment 

(Coi'tintied  from  page  25) 

must  do  a  great  deal  of  atoning.  Also, 
they  have  a  kiddie  with  them.  Six  years 
old.     Of  the  masculine  gender. 

I  inquired. 

The  kiddie  is  Olive's  brother's  boy.  |l|' 
I  jst  summer  the  mother  died  and  Oliye  ^i ' 
ado[)ted  the  small  nephew.  Just  at  pres- 
ent he  is  going  to  school  in  Tarrytow.n. 
.At  the  date  of  my  talk  with  Olive  she 
was  expecting  him  the  following  day  to 
come  to  \ew  York,  while  she  bought 
for  him  a  velvet  5uit  and  a  fur  overcoat. 

"He  wants  an  aeroplane  for  Christmas," 
she  informed  me,  witli  seriousness  at  the 
behest;  "the  only  thing  that  bothers  him 
is  how  it  is  going  to  manage  to  get  thru 
these  windows.  I  explained  to  him  that 
Santa  will  manage  it  somehow,  that  he 
is  quite  marvelous  as  a  rianager.  I  dont 
know  just  what  I  can  get  by  way  of  an 
aeroplane,  but  of  course  I  shall  get  some 
sort  of  a  thing  that  flie^." 

All  told,  the  \oung  Jack  Pickfords 
were  going  to  make  a  high  and  festive 
occasion  of  Yuletide.  That  very  morn- 
ing Olive  had  been  buying  Jack's  gift, 
consisting  of  a  set  of  black  pearls  for 
evening  wear,  at  Tiflfany's,  and  there  was 
also  a  resplendent  lounging  robe  of 
sumptuous  silk.  ;md  then  it  was  only  the 
first  part  of  December.  I  should  think 
the  aeroplane  not  the  only  unlikely  thing 
to  wedge  into  one  apartment.  Olive 
laughingly  remarked  that  her  mother 
says  she  and  Jack  spend  all  their  salaries 
giving  one  another  presents. 

"He's  always  sending  me  something 
and  then  I  .send  him  something  back," 
Olive  said.  "You  see,  we  have  to  bridge 
the  distance  in  some  way.  At  first  I  just 
couldn't  get  used  to  the  idea  of  living 
this  way,  but  I  suppose  one  gets  used  to 
anything,  given  time.  W  hen  we  were  to- 
gether we  used  to  use  up  the  time  fight- 
ing over  things.  I'd  say,  'You  were  out 
with  this  person  or  that  person,'  and  he'd 
come  back  at  me  in  the  same  way,  and 
we'd  have  a  lively  time  of  it,  but  we're 
over  that  now.  \\'e  know  that  we  cant 
sit  home  by  the  fireside  all  the  time  just 
because  we  cannot  be  together.'! 

She  went  on  to  observe  that  there  was 
not.  in  screen  work,  however,  much  of 
any  time  to  sit  by  tlie  fireside  or  else- 
where. She  worked,  she  said,  with  a 
pretty  little  air  of  distraction,  night  and 
day,  and  when  she  was  supposed  to  have 
a  week  off  to  attend  to  such  necessaries 
as  shopping  for  household  and  for 
Christmas,  there  were  all  sorts  of  retakes 
and  other  summoning  things. 

She  would  /orr,  she  said,  to  go  on  the 
stage,  but  for  the  next  two  years  or  more 
she  will  do  as  she  is  doing  now  .  .  .  for 
the  pre.sent  .  .  .  Thus  is  it  gorgeous  to 
be  gorgeoush'  young  and  be  able  thus  to 
dicker  with  the  passing  of  the  young 
years  .    .    . 

.\s  I  was  leaving  she  showed  me  thru 
the  whole  of  the  apartment  and  told  me. 
with  the  pretty  pride  of  possession,  of 
what  she  was  doing,  intended  to  do,  with 
every  nook  and  corner.  One  feature  of

Marjorie  Daw:  A  Real  Girl 

{Continued  from  paijc  21) 

my  make-up,  for  every  one  teased  me 
about  my  fat  legs.  You  see,  I  wore 
woolen  stockings  and  flat-heeled  sandals, 
and  1  guess  they  did  look  big. 

"I  played  with  Sessue  Hayakavva  m 
'The  Jaguar's  Claws,'  and  it  was  while 
making  this  picture  up  in  Montana  that 
I  learnt  to  ride  horseback.  I  had  the 
wildest  time  on  that  trip,  for  it  was  my 
first  experience  going  away  on  location, 
and  there  were  cowboys  and  Indians,  and 
I  was  thrilled  every  minute. 

"Then  1  was  Betty  Warren  in  'The 
Warrens  of  Virginia,'  and  fell  madly  in 
love  w  ith  Blanche  Sweet,  w  ith  her  charm 
and  lovely  poise. 

".\t  the  time  Geraldine  Farrar  made 
'Joan  the  Woman'  I  was  studying  geog- 
raphy and  history,  and  was  so  thrilled  to 
be  a  part  of  that  fascinating  period  of 
French  history  that  I  read  book  after 
book  on  the  subject  and  became  a  walk- 
ing encyclopedia  on  Jeanne  d'Arc. 

"My  first  grown-up  part  was  in  'The 
Chorus  Lady,'  with  Wallace  Reid.  I 
wore  my  hair  up,  and  I  know  I  aged 
years  trying  to  be  emotional  at  the  right 
time,  for  I  didn't  know  what  it  was  all 
about.  After  this  I  was  glad  enough  to 
be  a  little  girl  again  with  Charlotte 
Walker  in  'Out  of  Darkness.'  I  remem- 
ber what  a  blow  it  was,  tho,  when  she 
told  me  that  I  must  wait  until  I  had  lived 
before  I  could  hope  to  play  tragedy,  for 
I  was  just  beginning  to  feel  the  urge 
toward  heavy  stuff.'  Then,  when  Theda 
Bara  came  along,  I  decided  I  must  be  a 
vamp,  the  greatest  of  them  all,  and  now 
I  want  to  be  a  good  comedienne.  I  abso- 
lutely refuse  to  be  called  an  ingenue.  I'm 
not  one!"  And  Marjorie's  big  eyes 
flashed  a  bit  of  defiance  at  this  much 
overworked  term. 

"Perhaps  it  was  during  my  two  years 
with  Douglas  Fairbanks  as  his  leading 
woman  that  I  learnt  the  real  power  of 
comedy.  He  has  a  tremendous  vitality 
and  so  much  pep,  thoroly  enjoying  his 
work.  One  important  thing  I  learnt 
from  him  was  never  to  go  on  a  set  in  a 
listless  mood,  no  matter  how  one  may 
feel.  He  puts  his  whole  heart  into  every 
scene,  and  it  makes  me  a  little  homesick 
to  think  there  is  another  girl  in  my  place, 
for  I  loved  to  work  with  Douglas." 

Marjorie's  reminiscences  are  neces- 
sarily rather  limited,  for  it  was  only 
eighteen  years  ago  that  she  was  born  in 
Colorado  Springs,  Colorado. 

When  she  was  eight  she  came  to  Cali- 
fornia with  her  mother  and  brother. 
Chandler,  who  is  three  years  her  junior. 
Marjorie  and  Chandler  are  all  alone 
in  the  world  now,  for  the  little  mother 
passed  away  two  years  ago,  and  the  ab- 
solute devotion  and  remarkable  "chum- 
miness"  existing  between  brother  and 
sister  is  a  favorite  topic  among  their 
friends.  With  an  older  girl  friend  they 
play  at  housekeeping  in  a  pretty  little 
bungalow  in  Hollywood. 

Tho  Chandler  had  gained  some  promi- 
nence in   the  picture   world,   they   have

"$1,000  Saved!" 

"Last  night  I  came  liume  \\ith  yreat  iu:\\s!     Our  saviiiys  IkkI  passed  the  $1,(HM)  mark! 

"I  remember  reading  one  time  that  your  first  thousand  saved  is  the  most  important  money 
you  will  ever  have,  for  in  saving  it  you  have  laid  a  true  foimdation  for  success  in  life.  And 
I  remember  how  remote  and  impossil'ile  it  seemed  then  to  have  sudi  a  sum  of  money. 

"I  was  making  $15  a  week  and  every  piiun  of  it  was  ueeded  just  to  keep  us  going.  It  went 
on  that  way  for  several  vears.  Then  one  day  I  woke  up'  1  found  I  was  not  gettnii;  ahead

vc^t  an  hour  after  supper  each  night  in  my  own  future,  so  I  wrote  to  Scranton  and  arranged 
for  a  course  that  would  gi\e  me  special  training   for  our  business.

THE  \EAR-PICKFORD 
By  Walter  E.  M,ur 

When  a  studio  was  built  next  door  to  Blom- 
stcin's. 

And  Rcba  was  born  soon  after. 
With  hair  that  curled  so  naturally, 

And  soulful  eyes  that  rolled, 

And  everything.  .    .    . 
They  said  Art  had  been,  so-to-speak, 

The  predominating,  prenatal 
Predestining  influence.  .  .  . 

Reba  grew  up. 

So  did  the  hair  that  curled  so  naturally. 
And    the    soulful    eyes,    which    waxed    more 
lustrous  ... 

She  became  more  screenish  ever_\'  day  .    .    . 
And  everything  .    .    . 

But  somehow,  alackaday, 

Reba  is  only  a  cold-cream  demonstrator. 
And  the  Blomsteins  do  not  live  luxuriously 

In  a  milHon-pIunk  bungalow-dream 
Down  among  the  sheltering  palms. 

So  we  think  that  the  good  Lord  must  have  put 
Almost  all  the  elements  into  little  Reba 

Of  a  wondrous  second  Mary  Pickford, 

Excepting   only — the   necessary   soul    o'    the 
ould  sod. 

Which,  of  course,  is  Heaven's  fault  .    .    . 
><ot  Reba's. 


SCREEN  MAGIC 
By  Ethel  Hope 


Out  from  the  cold  and  the  whirling  snow, 

He  came  at  close  of  day; 
Lured  by  the  warmth  and  the  ruddy  glow. 
Lured  by  the  tones  of  the  music  low. 

Where  picturedom  held  sway. 

Fair  were  the  scenes  that  before  him  went; 

He  watched  as  one  entranced ; 
Feeling  his  heart  growing  more  content. 
Feeling  himself  far  less  worn  and  spent. 

And  his   heart's  joy  enhancetj. 

Into  the  cold  and  the  whirling  snow 

He  trailed  the  crowds  at  last ; 
Deep  in  his  soul  was  the  summer's  glow. 
Deep  in  his  eyes  a  glad  light  shone  low. 
As  on  his  way  he  passed. 


IMPRISONED 
By  Betty  Earle 


Like   a   leaf    I    would    turn    and    turn    in    the 

sunlight. 
Enlarging  my  shadow  in  my  own  way. 
Baring  the  flaunting  green  of  my  soul  to  all 

who  would  understand ; 
And  to  all  who  would  understand,  baring  the 

wan  underneath  of  my  soul. 

But  they  have  bound  me  tight,  tight : 

All  the  tendrils,  the  minions,  the  moods. 

They  have  pressed  me  between  white  walls 
that  breathe  no  escape. 

And  when  the  stars  lean  over  the  night,  I  can- 
not answer ; 

And  when  the  wind  pulses  low,  I  cannot  re- 
spond. 


THE  TRAGEDY  OF  HUMOR 
By  La  Touche  Hancock 

Everybody's  still, 

Everybody's  solemn, 
Papa's  got  to  fill 

The  daily  comic  column ! 
Mother   doesn't   dare 

To  ask  him  for  money ; 
Silence   everywhere. 

Papa's  being   funny! 
Sister  cannot  sing 

To  amuse  the  folks ; 
Peace    o'er    everything, 

Papa's  making  jokes! 
Anxious,   quiet,    sad. 

All   around  we  sit; 
Isn't  it  too  bad 

Papa  is  a  wit? 


MOTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC      i 

Scotch  and  Seltzer 

(Continued  from  page  23) 

hand-carved  rum-chest  given  him  by  his 
uncle,  an  old  Nantucket  whaler,  to  a  set 
of  ebony  opium  pipes  regaled  him  by  a 
Chinese  smuggler.  He  has  every  variety 
of  vase,  pitcher,  bottle,  platter;  a  dozen 
dififerent  varieties  of  period  furniture 
from  Jacobin  to  Stickley ;  several  origi- 
nal canvases — one  of  Rembrandt's. 

And  then,  he  has  a  sister,  who  is  his 
secretary,  and  a  charming  mother,  who 
speaks  with  a  semi-Southern  accent  and 
whom  Norm  worships. 

And  he,  who  is  the  typical  sophisti- 
cated man  of  today,  the  romancer  who 
is  a  romancer  without  being  a  vampire, 
is,  about  his  sister,  unquestionably  the 
most  solicitous  being  I've  ever  seen. 

Miss  Kerry  is  eighteen  and  beautiful, 
tho  one  of  those  rare  flowers  whose 
petals  have  as  yet  to  be  singed  by  the 
bright  lights.  Norm  says  that  he's  glad 
she's  not  what  is  generally  known  as 
"sophisticated." 

"I'm  afraid  it's  a  very  great  drawback 
these  da)fS,"  he  remarked,  "altho  I 
wouldn't  have  sis  any  other  way  for 
worlds.  A  fellow,  when  he  only  has  one 
little  sister,  places  his  every  hope  in  her. 
He  wants  her  to  be  like  his  mother. 
What  he  himself  does,  affects  him  alone; 
it  must  never  reflect  upon  others." 

In  1910  Kerry  had  an  appointment  to 
Annapolis.  Somehow  or  other,  he 
changed  his  mind  about  being  a  naval 
officer  and  enrolled  in  St.  John's  College, 
the  arts  and  science  branch  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Maryland,  to  learn  about  the 
world. 

But  college  got  on  his  nerves.  He, 
like  many  other  young  progressives  have 
found,  discovered  that  one  today  lives 
in  a  commercial  era  that  has  swept  away 
the  dust  of  ancient  Rome  and  Greece ; 
that  has  put  the  practical  note  into  af- 
fairs of  education.  In  fact,  Kerry  says 
that  to  him  a  worldly  education  was 
worth  twice  that  gleaned  from  fifty- 
seven  varieties  of  'ologies  and  'onomies. 

He  became  associated  with  his  father 
in  the  cattle  business  and  journeyed  to 
Latin  America  to  purchase  hides  and 
beef.  Later  he  returned  to  this  country 
and  rode  the  range  in  the  West.  It  was 
there  that  he  met  Art  Acord,  with  whom 
he  eventually  journeyed  to  Los  Angeles, 
where  he  became  a  salesman  of  anything 
from  real  estate  to  cuff-links. 

One  day,  two  years  ago, he  journeyed  to 
the  Brunton  studio  to  sell  Paul  Eng- 
strum,  one  of  the  proprietors,  some  paint. 
As  he  walked  across  the  lot  he  was  ac- 
costed by  a  casting  director.  Bessie 
Barriscale's  leading  man,  it  seemed, 
had  suddenly  become  temperamental  and 
"walked  off  the  set"  while  the  company 
was  "shooting"  a  nearby  park.  Blonde 
Bessie,  stranded,  had  sent  in  an  S.  O.  S. 
for  a  leading  man.  The  casting  director 
liked  Norm's  looks,  dragged  him  into  the 
office,  and  fifteen  minutes  later  Kerry 
was  in  a  company  car,  speeding  to  Grif- 
fith Park  and  wondering  what  all  that 
writing  in  a  contract  meant.

Mabel  Normand 

in  "Pinto" 

A  rag  and  a  bone  and  a  pair  of 
leather  "chaps"  seem  to  have  all 
those  old  chaps  hypnotized.  Mabel 
is  surely  an  old  man's  darling;  but 
then,  we  don't  notice  that  any 
younk  men  are  indifferent  to  her 
charms,  either. 


I  do  not  hesitate  to  recommend 
Ingram's  Milkweed  Cream  and 
Velveola  Souveraine  to  all  my 
friends.  They  should  have  a  per-

Milkweed 

Cfeatit 

Youth,  the  springtime  of  a  woman's  life,  should  be  made  beautiful, 
and  its  beauty  carried  forward  into  middle  age.  Every  woman 
owes  this  to  herself,  and  to  her  family;  and  every  woman  knows  that 
beauty  does  not  walk  hand  in  hand  with  a  rough  or  blotchy  skin. 

Ingram's  Milkweed  Cream  is  the  only  therapeutic  face  cream.  It 
works  easily  into  the  tiny  skin  cells,  healing,  cleansing  and  soften- 
ing the  tissues.  Used  regularly,  night  and  morning,  it  develops  a 
healthy,  attractive  skin.

Scotch  and  Seltzer 

(Continued  from  page  68) 

Shortly  afterward  he  joined  the  Brit- 
ish forces,  but  was  rejected  because  of 
an  injury  received  in  training.  Return- 
ing to  this  country,  lie  recuperated  and, 
incidentally,  made  a  few  more  pictures. 
He  then  signed  up  for  service  with 
Uncle  Sam,  and  was  on  his  way  to  Buf- 
falo, N.  Y.,  to  report,  when  he  met  Con- 
stance Talmadge  on  the  train.  The  tank 
corjjs,  however,  was  mgre  important  than 
the  camera.  He  proceeded  to  his  train- 
ing camp  and  later  was  commissioned. 
And  then  the  war  finished  itself! 

But,  nevertheless,  he  was  destined  to 
play  opposite  Connie  Talmadge  and, 
when  his  contract  expired,  to  be  signed 
by  Alan  Dwan  as  the  star  of  May- 
flower Corporation  to  play  the  handsome, 
manly  young  engineer-hero  of  Richard 
Harding  Davis'  "Soldiers  of  Fortune." 

And,  as  an  actor,  Kerry  is  sadly  lack- 
ing in  one  attribute — conceit.  Every- 
body calls  him  Norm,  and  he  refuses  to 
take  himself  seriously.  For  if  you  do, 
he  says,  everybody  else  will  take  you 
seriously  ;  if  you  dont,  your  mistakes  are 
going  to  be  overlooked  and  )'Ou're  going 
to  get  bv.  All  of  which  makes  the 
movies  for  him  more  a  pleasure  than  a 
business. 

"And  you're  cjuite  sure  that  you  wont 
get  married  as  soon  as  I  get  out  of  the 
house  ?"  I  queried,  in  parting,  for  I 
know  so  man)'  married  actors  and  I've 
personally  viewed  three  contracts  signed 
by  the  weaker  half  of  the  family. 

"Nope,"  he  echoed.  "Have  another 
drink?    Good  Scotch,  this,  eh?" 

Absolutely !  And.  as  I  have  said  be- 
fore, the  better  the  Scotch,  the  more  apt 
it  is  to  find  itself  in  seltzer. 


BLEEDING  HEARTS 
By  Faith   Service 

He  sent  no  gift  of  roses  .  .  .  lover's  greetings, 
No  lacy-patterned,  verse-encircled  token ; 

Jnst  this  ...  a  tiny  sheaf  o'  bleeding  hearts 
Because  our  hearts  were  broken. 

He  sent  no  flowering  thing,  nor  joyous  song, 
He  swore  not  that  his  love  was  true  and  blue  ; 

Tust  bleeding  hearts  because  his  heart  had  bled, 
Ah  me,  mine  bleeds  anew! 

He  sent  no  sweet  confections,  gaily  ribboned, 
No  tender  missive,  things  all  lovers  say; 

But  this  ...  a  fpdcd  sheaf  o'  bleeding  hearts 
On  All -Hearts  Dav. 


THE    MOVIE    VILLAIN 
By  Ted  Olson 

Not  of  the  chap  with  the  rakish  air 

And  the  manner  coaxing  and  debonair; 

Nor  yet  of  the  ruffian  of  darkest  dye 

With  the  unshaved  jaw  and  the  lowering  eye; 

Nor  still  of  him  whose  receding  chin 

Bears  subtle  witness  to  secret  sin ; 

Tho  each  is  steeped  to  his  eyes  in  crime, 

For  none  of  them  do  I  weave  this  rime. 

The  villain  of  whom  I  tell  is  seen 
Not  in  tlie  light  of  the  silver  screen; 
He's  the  one  who  stumbles  in  front  of  you, 
Stamps  on  your  feet  and  ruins  your  view, 
Pours  himself  in  the  nearest  chair,  ^ 
Poisons  with  garlic  the  suffering  air, 
.^nd  favors  you  and  the  rest  of  the  crowd 
By  reading  the  titles  half  aloud. 


MOTION    PICTURE    CLASSIC 

ROMANCE 
By  Charlotte  Becker 

"  'Twas  once  upon  a  time''  and  "Far  awa>" — 
What    charm    the    worn,    familiar    phrases 

hold 
Of  mystery  and  magic,  and  of  old, 

Enchanting   places;    courtiers   brave   and   gay, 

.\nd  lovel\'  ladies,  sweet  as  budded  Ma\', 
Whose  beauty  and  quaint  graces  manifold 
May  lift  us  one  brief  moment  from  the  gold 

And  clamor  of  the  world's  drab  workaday. 

Again  we  tread  romance's  fair  domains. 

Thru  pathways  sweet  with  rose  and  lavender. 

Led  by  the  fragrance  faded  memories  stir. 
Back  to  the  glamour  of  the  leafy  lanes 

And  gardens  hedged  with  patterned  box  and 
lime 

Of  "Far  away,"  and  "Once   upon  a  time." 


WHENE'ER   YOU    SING 
By  Walter  Pulitzer 

A  thousand  fancies  come  and  go, 
Rare  orchids  'mid  the  daisies  grow. 
Sweet  voices  ring  across  the  snow. 
Or  seas  sob  in  their  ebb  and  flow — 
W'hene'er  you  sing ! 

Blue  mountains  rear  their  crests  on  high. 
Kings  sit  alone  'midst  revelry, 
Palms  pierce  the  forest  to  the  sky. 
Processions,  torch-lit,  pass  me  by — 
Whene'er  you  sing! 

Life's  sordid  cares  of  cv'ry  day 
Are  overpowered  and  shut  away. 
All  unrestrained  the  fancies  play 
From  glad  to  sad,  from  sad  to  gay — 
Whene'er  you  sing  1 

But  I  mu.st  add,  O  maiden,  fair ! — 
My  views  your  father  does  not  share. 
The  room  he'll  leave,  the  door  he'll  slam 

And  right  out  loud  he'll  swear,  "Oh,  d 

W'hene'er  you  sing ! 


DIRGE 
By  Faith  Service 

Out  of  my  broken  heart  I'll  make  a  song. 
Aureate    with    psalmistry — blood-stained    with 

wrong — 
Binding  love's  shattered  limbs—  cradling  kvc's 

head — 
Closing  love's  muted  mouth,  stricken  and  red. 

There    where    a    sickly    moon    rides    o'er    her 

dead. 
There    must    I    lay    it    low — love's    crimsoned 

head — 
But  on  the  Silversheet,  memoried  and  dear — 
Rises  love  flowering,  homing,  and  near  .    .    . 


A  REEL  ROMANCE 
By  Minna  Irving 

I  cannot  sit  at  eventide 

Beside  the  girl  I  love. 
Or  spoon  with  her  while  softly  shines 

The  siher  moon  above. 
I  cannot  take  her  for  a  spin, 

Altho  I  own  a  car. 
Or  out  to  supper,  or  to  hear 

The  latest   opera   star. 

I  see  her  almost  every  night, 

Yet  cannot  press  her  lips, 
Or  tell  her  that  her  sparkling  eyes 

The  brightest  arcs  eclipse. 
I  cannot  ask  her  to  be  mine, 

For  lo !  -he  little  queen 
Is  a  celebrated  heroine 

L'pon  the  movie  screen. 

But  I'm  in  luck  and  would  not  change 

My  sweetheart  of  romance 
For  all  the  girls  that  ever  led 

A  hapless  chap  a  dance. 
She's  never  not  at  home  to  me, 

Tho  every  night  I  go, 
And  all  I  have  to  spend  on  her 

Is  a  ticket  to  the  show.

That  Would  Buy 
100  Dishes 

Of  Supreme  Food — Quaker  Oats 

Consider  that — the  steak  for  an  average  family  meal  would  serve  100 
dishes  of  the  food  of  foods. 

Quaker  Oats  costs  one  cent  per  large  dish.  One  egg  would  buy  five 
dishes.    One  chop  would  buy  twelve  dishes,  based  on  prices  at  this  writing. 

You  can  serve  ten  breakfasts  of  Quaker  Oats  for  about  the  cost  of 
serving  one  with  meat  or  eggs  or  fish. 

Saves  90  ^/c  on  Your  Breakfast 

But  the  true  way  to  measure  foods  is  by  nutrition.  The  calory — the  energy  unit — 
is  used  for  this  comparison. 

Quaker  Oats  yield  1810  calories  per  pound,  while  round  steak  yields  890  and 
eggs  635. 

This  is  the  cost  per  1000  calories  in  some  necessary  foods  at  this  writing: 

So  Quaker  Oats,  compared  with 
average  meat  foods,  saves  some  90  per 
cent  on  a  breakfast. 

And  the  oat  is  the  supreme  food. 
It  is  almost  the  ideal  food  in  balance 
and  completeness. 

It  is  rich  in  elements  which  growing 
children  need.  As  a  vim-food  it  has 
age-old  fame. 

Make  Quaker  Oats  your  basic  breakfast.  Start  the  day  well-fed.  Use  this 
saving  to  bnng  your  average  food  cost  down.

MOTION  PICTURE 

The  Little  Shepherd  of  Kingdom 
Come 

{Continued  from  page  32) 

with  wild  schemes.  If  it  meant  the  over- 
turning of  the  world,  the  reaching  up  to 
pluck  stars  down  from  the  sky,  she 
would  gladly  do  her  best  for  the  sake  of 
bringing  the  light  back  to  his  eyes. 

Of  course.  Major  Buford  discovered 
the  runaway  after  a  search,  tho  the  seek- 
ing took  several  weeks,  and,  of  course, 
he  insisted  that  he  should  come  back  to 
Lexington  with  him.  ''Hold  up  your 
head,  my  boy !  Show  'em  you  dont  care 
a  damn  what  anybody  thinks  !"  he  roared. 
"By  gad,  I  thought  you  had  more  spirit !" 
But  secretly  he  rejoiced  in  his  proud  old 
heart  at  the  boy's  stubborn  pride. 

It  took  argument  to  overcome  it.  It 
took  Caleb's  reinforcements,  Melissa's 
pleading.  But  perhaps  more  potent  than 
any  of  these  things  was  the  unseen  urging 
of  a  sunny-haired  vision  in  a  black  velvet 
riding-habit,  who  seemed  to  whisper  ear- 
nestly, "Chad,  come  back !  We'll  go 
riding  again  together.     Wait  and  see !" 

So  Chad  once  again  turned  his  face 
from  the  mountains  to  the  Valley  of 
Disillusion,  but  before  he  went  he  kist 
Melissa  good-by — kist  her  as  he  might 
have  kist  his  mother,  with  frank,  boyisli 
lips,  careless  and  passionless.  "You've 
been  moughty  good  to  me,  M'liss.  I 
reckon  I  wont  forget  it,  ever,"  he  said. 
She  held  his  head  a  moment  between  her 
small,  hard  hands  and  looked  in  his  eyes. 
Hope  had  rekindled  the  fires  of  his 
youth,  and  they  flared  high  and  splendid 
— torches  of  a  conqueror. 

"Good-by,  Chad,"  said  Melissa,  and 
smiled  so  that  he  would  not  know  her 
agony.    "Good-by,  boy." 

Again  she  thought,  watching  him  go 
into  the  morning  distance,  "I  shall  never 
see  him  again." 

Yet  you  were  wrong,  M'liss — once 
more^once  more 

In  the  valley  time  passed  on  winged 
feet,  the  time  it  takes  to  make  a  boy  into 
a  man,  to  make  a  gold-haired  girl  into  a 
woman.  The  major  adopted  Chad 
legally.  He  was  as  proud  of  him  as  he 
was  of  his  own  name,  and  that  is  saying 
much.  For,  to  the  major,  birth  was  the 
only  necessary  virtue,  not  to  be  a  gentle- 
man the  only  unforgivable  sin.  Some- 
times he  would  stand  long  beside  Chad's 
bed  and  look  down  into  the  lean,  cleanly 
cut  face,  with  its  hollowed  temples  and 
proud  lips,  with  faded,  questing  old  eyes. 

"The  Buford  chin,"  he  would  mutter 
irritably,  "and  the  Davidson  nose. 
There's  blood  in  you,  boy — blood,  and 
I'm  damned  if  I  dont  believe  it's  Buford 
blood,  too !  Chadwick  Buford  was  a 
rover  and  a  waster,  but  he  was  a  gentle- 
man, and  3'ou're  a  gentleman's  son." 

But  he  never  spoke  of  this  to  Chad. 
Indeed,  he  did  everything  possible  to 
make  the  boy  proud  of  his  ancestorless 
state.  "Every  line  has  a  beginning,"  he 
told  him,  tartly.  "You  shall  found  a  line, 
my  boy — a  line  of  Bu  fords  and  gentle-

eves  of  the  Deans.  When  he  returned 
liome  from  college,  tall,  slimly  built  and 
handsome  in  a  dark,  grave,  eager  fashion, 
Mr.  Dean  himself  unbent  far  enough  to 
call  upon  him  and  publicly  invite  him  to 
his  home.  The  Dean  boys,  noisy  young 
blades  of  his  years,  greeted  him  with  the 
careless  democracy  of  youth,  and  Mar- 
garet, grown  straight  and  slim  as  a 
candle  with  a  flame  of  gold  above  her 
vivid,  flashing  face,  danced  and  rode 
with  him  as  she  danced  and  rode  with 
the  young  Olivers  and  Carters  and 
Blackburns,  and  the  dandified  youths 
from  Richmond  who  came  to  visit  at  her 
father's  house. 

"She's  good  to  me  because  she  just 
cant  help  being  good  to  everybody," 
Chad  said,  quietly,  to  the  major.  "I 
hope  I'm  not  quite  such  a  cad  as  to  take 
any  hopes  from  that,  sir." 

"Pooh !"  snorted  the  major,  grandly, 
bristling,  as  he  always  did,  like  an  old 
turkey  cock  when  anything  concerning 
Chad's  desirability  came  in  question. 
"Pooh !  Dont  be  so  damn  humble !  I 
hate  humble  men.  Believe  in  yourself! 
If  you  do  that  you're  fit  to  marry  a  prin- 
cess of  the  blood  !  Pooh  !  The  girl's  no 
fool !     Dont  treat  her  like  one." 

But  Chad  shook  his  dark  head  gravely 
and  turned  the  subject.  He  was  put  to 
it  these  days  to  keep  Margaret  Dean's 
dazzling  face,  the  light,  crisp  rustle  of 
her  garments,  the  scent  of  her,  diffused 
by  every  movement,  the  need  of  her  out 
of  his  thoughts,  as  a  man  of  honor 
should,  who  had  nothing  to  offer  her  but 
a  borrowed  name.  Youth  was  hot  in 
him,  aching,  tormenting,  giving  him  no 
peace.  He  grew  a  bit  thin,  more  than  a 
bit  white  and  worn  with  the  struggle 
those  days,  and  the  old  major  was 
anxious. 

"By  gad !  There's  spirit  for  you ! 
Eating  his  damfool  heart  out  for  that 
girl  and  she'd  fall  into  his  arms  if  he 
asked  her!  But  he  wont  ask,  confound 
his  devilish  pride — he'll  die  before  he 
asks  her !  Still  something  must  be  done 
— cant  have  the  boy  wasting  to  a  shadder 
before  my  face  and  eyes." 

So  the  major,  muttering,  puffing  with 
the  pride  that  was  in  him.  What  it  was 
that  must  be  done  he  did  not  say,  and,  in 
fact,  could  not  guess.  Certainly  nothing 
was  further  from  his  thoughts  than  what 
did  happen.  One  day  in  early  autumn, 
Chad  Buford  strode  into  the  house,  with 
thunderous  face,  and  flung  his  riding- 
crop  upon  the  table.  His  voice  when  he 
spoke  to  his  guardian  was  high  and 
shaking  like  that  of  a  man  at  the  break- 
ing point  of  nerves. 

"I'm  going  away,  sir — to  China — Egypt 
— Bombay — anywhere  so  long  as  it's  far 
enough !"  he  cried,  and  rested  his  fore- 
head on  his  arms,  folded  upon  the 
mantel.      "I've    got    to    go — if    it    isn't 

already  too  late " 

"And  by  that,  Chad?"  asked  the  major, 

very  softly.     "By  that  you  mean " 

"I  mean,"  said  Chad,  in  a  stifled  voice, 
"if  I  haven't  already  made  her  love  me — 
mc — a  beggar  from  Nowhere  !  But  it  all 
happened  so  quickly."  He  groaned  and 
shook  from  head  to  foot.     "Her  horse

It  is  Film  That 
Clouds  Them 

That  slimy  film  which  you  feel 
on  your  teeth  is  the  cause  of  most 
tooth  troubles. 

It  clings  to  the  teeth,  enters 
crevices  and  stays.  The  tooth 
brush  does  not  end  it.  The 
ordinary  tooth  paste  does  not  dis- 
solve it.  So  it  continues  to  mar 
the  beauty  and  to  wreck  the  teeth. 

That  film  is  what  discolors — not 
the  teeth.  It  is  the  basis  of  tartar. 
It  holds  food  substance  which 
ferments  and  forms  acid.  It  holds 
the  acid  in  contact  with  the  teeth 
to  cause  decay. 

Millions  of  germs  breed  in  it. 
They,  with  tartar,  are  the  chief 
cause  of  pyorrhea. 


That  film  is  the  teeth's  great 
enemy.  So  dental  science  has  for 
years  sought  a  way  to  end  it. 
Now  an  efficient  film  combatant 
has  been  found.  It  has  been 
proved  by  careful  tests.  And  now 
leading  dentists  all  over  America 
are  urging  its  daily  use. 

Supplied  to  All 
Who  Ask 

For  home  use  this  method  is  em- 
bodied in  a  dentifrice  called  Pep- 
sodent.  And  to  show  its  effects  a 
10-Day  Tube  is  sent  to  anyone  who 
asks.   This  is  to  urge  that  you  get  it. 

Pepsodent  is  based  on  pepsin, 
the  digestant  of  albumin.  The  film 
is  albuminous  matter.  The  object 
of  Pepsodent  is  to  dissolve  it, 
then  to  day  by  day  combat  it. 

This  method  long  seemed  im- 
possible. Pepsin  must  be  acti- 
vated, and  the  usual  agent  is  an 
acid  harmful  to  the  teeth.  But 
science  has  discovered  a  harmless 
activating  method.  And  now 
active  pepsin  can  be  daily  used  to 
combat  this  viscous  film. 

Able  authorities  have  made 
convincing  clinical  and  laboratory 
tests.  Now  everyone  is  asked  to 
make  a  home  test  and  see  what 
Pepsodent  does. 

Compare  the  results  with  the 
methods  you  are  using.  See  the 
change  in  ten  days.  Then  decide

shied  and  bolted.  I  followed  and  stopped 
him.  It  had  been  a  close  shave,  and  1 
suppose  I  was  a  bit  off  my  head — before 
I  knew  what  was  happening  I — I  had  her 

in  my  arms,  sir  !     Oh,  cad — cad " 

"And  then,"  said  the  major,  with  deep 
satisfaction.  "I  hope  you  asked  her  to 
marry  you," 

Chad  laughed  uglily.  "I  ?  Ask  that 
paragon  among  women  to  marry  mc?  A 
shepherd  of  the  hills  born  under  the  bar 
sinister?  No,  sir,  I  begged  her  pardon 
on  my  knees.  I  told  her  that  I  loved  her, 
but  could  not  ask  her  to  marry  me  and 
throw  her  life  away — I  told  her — a  gond 

many  things •" 

Silence  while  the  fire  snapped  rosily. 
Then  spoke  the  major,  dully,  "So  you'd 
go  away  and  leave  the  old  man  alone? 
Chad  boy,  there's  a  better  way.  Wait  a 
l)it — the  papers  are  uneasy.  There  may 
be  a  war,  and  then  the  South  will  need 
)0U.  Wait,  Chad.  Things  have  a  way 
of  working  out.    Give  them  a  chance." 

"It  -would  take  more  than  a  chance  to 
work  my  life  out  as  I  would  have  it," 
said  the  lover,  wearily ;  "it  would  take  a 
miracle.  But — I  will  wait  a  little."  4 
It  was  the  miracle  that  happened.  As 
they  spoke  the  bell  rang,  and  presently 
the  negro  butler  ushered  in  a  vision,  all 
blue  velvet  hood  and  swansdown  cloak 
and  golden,  fluttering  curls,  a  vision  that 
stood  trembling  and  bhishing  on  the 
threshold,  looking  from  one  amazed  man 
to  the  other,  a  vision  that  presently 
rustled  forward  and  into  a  seat  by  the 
tire,  which  immediately  became  a  throne. 
"You  are  not — very  cordial  to  vis- 
itors !"  murmured  the  newcomer,  plain- 
tively, with  an  upward  glance  that  made 
Chad  clutch  at  the  mantel.  "But  per- 
haps when  you  hear  what  I  have  to  say 
you  will  ask  me  to  take  off  my  things 
and  pour  the  tea.  Chad,  a  very  strange 
thing  has  happened,  so  strange  thatit 
seems  almost  a  dream.  Today,  just  after 
I  got  home,  a  girl — or  perhaps  she  was  a 
woman,  at  least  she  was  dreadfully  thin 
and  sick-looking,  and  so  strangely  dressed 
— came  to  the  house  and  asked  for  me. 
'Air  )'OU-all  Margaret?'  she  asked  me, 
looking  at  me  with  such  big,  mournful 
eyes,  'Chad  Buford's  Margaret?'  And 
then  she  began  to  laugh  and  cry  at  the 
same  time,  and  all  the  time  looking  at  me 
with  those  great  eyes.  'Yes,  I'd  know 
you  anywhar,'  she  said,  'even  if  I  hadn't 
seen  you  riding  with  him.'  And  then  she 
told  me  why  she  had  come,  Chad — it  was 
to  bring  me  these." 

The  boy,  for  he  was  hardly  more,  took 
the  worn,  soiled  papers  she  handed  him, 
dazedly,  held  them  to  the  firelight,  and 
the  room  rang  to  his  cry.  "A  marriage 
certificate — my  mother's  and  my  fath- 
er's I"  He  seemed  to  grow  taller  there 
before  them  all.  "Mary  Miles  and 
Chadwick  Buford,  Gentleman  I  That  is 
my  name,  then — I  have  a  right  to  thai 
name  I" 

The  vision  pouted,  sighed.  "And  what 
about  me?"  it  asked,  in  a  small,  meek 
tone.  "Haven't  I  got  a  right  to  it,  too, 
Chad?  Oh,  before  I'd  be  so  stingy  with 
my  old  name !"

BEWARE  OF  THE  LITTLE  FLAWS 
THAT  MAKE  ONE  HOMELY 

It  is  so  easy  to  let  your  s\in  acquire  had  traits 


A  LITTLE  roughness,  a  little  sliine,  a 
little  cloudiness  of  skin,  and  one's 
looks  are  gone!  It  is  so  easy,  too,  to  let 
your  skin  acquire  these  bad  little  traits 
unless  you  know  just  how  to  avoid  them. 
Wind  and  cold  whip  the  moisture  out 
of  your  skin  —  leave  it  dry  and  tense. 
Then  follow  roughening  and  chapping. 
Skin  specialists  say  that  one  can  protect 


Before  you  powder,  take  a  hit  of  Pond's 
Vanishing  Cream  and  rub  it  lightly  into 
the  skin.  At  once  it  disappears,  leaving 
your  skin  softened.  Now  powder  as  usual 
and  don't  think  of  it  again.  The  powder 
will  stay  on  two  or  three  times  as  long  as 
ever  before.  There  is  not  a  bit  of  oil  m 
Pond's  Vanishing  Cream,  so  it  cannot 
reappear  in  a  miserable  glisten. 

WHEN  your  face  is  tense  from  a 
long,  hard  day,  yet  you  want  to 
"look  beautiful,"  remember  that  th.e  cool, 
fragrant  touch  of  Pond's  Vanishing  Cream 
smoothed  over  the  face  and  neck,  will 
instantly  bring  it  new  freshness.  Do  this 
before  you  go  to  a  dance. 

BEWARE  of  allowing  your  skin  to 
cloud  up  and  lose  its  clearness.  When 
this  happens,  it  is  because  minute  parti- 
cles of  dust  have  worked  their  way  too 
deep  into  the  pores  to  be  removed  by 
ordinary  bathing.  It  takes  a  cold  cream 
with  a  good  oil  base  to  remove  this 
deeply  lodged  dust. 

Before  you  go  to  bed  and  whenever 
you  have  been  especially  exposed  to  dust, 
rub  Pond's  Cold  Cream  into  the  pores  of 


.-^  rotich  of  Pond's 
I'ttntshiiig  Cream  be- 
fore going  to  a  dance 
gines  your  skin  new 
transparency 


the  skin  by  applying  a  softening  and 
soothing  cream  always  before  venturing 
out.    Never  omit  this. 

Of  course,  you  can't  apply  a  <-o/</ cream 
before  going  out.  It  makes  your  face  too 
oily.  Lightly  touch  your  face  and  hands 
with  Pond's  Vanishing  Cream,  which  is 
made  precisely  for  this  daytime  and  eve- 
ning use.  This  leaves  your  face  smooth 
and  protects  it  from  the  weather.  Do 
this  every  time  you  go  out. 

DOES  the   powder  keep   coming    off 
your  face,  leaving  you  all  shiny  and 
embarrassed?

this  regularly  and  you  will  be  rewarded 
by  a  clear,  fresh  skin. 


Why  your  skin  needs  two  kinds  of  cream 

Every  skin  needs  two  creams.  Do 
not  forget  that  the  cream  which  you 
use  for  daytime  and  evening  is  es- 
pecially made  without  oil  so  that  it 
cannot  reappear  in  a  shine.  This  is 
Pond's  f'anishing  Cream.  It  can- 
not make  your  face  shiny  even  for 
a  moment.  It  is  based  on  an  in- 
gredient prescribed  by  physicians 
for  its  softening  effect.  Use  it  for 
protection  from  cold,  for  a  powder 
foundation,  for  freshening  the  skin 
at  a  moment's  notice. 

But  for  cleansing  the  skin  and  for 
massage  it  is  the  cream  with  an  oil 
base  which  you  need — Pond's  Cold 
Cream.  Use  it  nightly  before  re- 
tiring, and  whenever  you  have  been 
exposed  to  dust  and  dirt. 

Neither  cream  will  encourage  the 
growth  of  hair  on  the  face. 

Stop  at  the  drug  store  or  at  any 
department  store  and  buy  a  jar  or 
a  tube  of  each  cream.  See  how  much 
it  improves  your  skin.

LOVE  AND  LUCRE 
By  L.\  TouCHE  Hancock 

(.\n    advertisement   has   appeared    in    a    d 

paper,   in   which   a   poet  says   he   will   w 

love   verses    for   One   Dollar.) 
The   maiden  gazed  with   pensive  eyes 

To  where  the  stars  were  blinking; 
She   did  not  notice  that   the   moon 

Was    positively    winking ! 
For  she  was  lost  in  Lethe's  stream — 

In  plain  prose,   she  was  thinking 
Of  all  th'  into.xicating  draughts 

Of   love   her  soul   was   drinking! 
The  paper  clasped  within  her  hand 

Had  verses  written  on  it. 
Full  of  her  raptured  lover's  vows, 

And,  as  the  moonbeams  shone,  it 
Seemed  just  as  if  the  rays  were  sent 

To  let  the  maiden  con  it ; 
And  so  again,  and  yet  again 

She  read  his  precious   sonnet ! 
"Ah  I  how  my  sweetheart's  passion  burns ! 

She  cri.'d.     "Yes.  now  I  know  it. 
Here  every  sentence  speaks  his  love. 

Just   as   his   actions   show   it!" 
But  Venus  sighed,  and  Cupid  grinned, 

.^nd   Eros  cried,   "Oh,  blow   it! 
'Twas  written  for  a  dollar  by 

That  advertising  poet."

HUMORS    OF   AMERICAN    TRAVEL 
By  Walter  Pulitzer 

The  agent  of  a  well-known  insurance  corn- 
pany  in  New  York  was  on  his  way  to  Chi- 
cago, and  the  train  stopping  at  one  of  the 
wayside  stations,  he  got  out  for  refreshments. 
Walking  up  to  a  porter  he  asked: 

"Will  my  bag  be  safe  here?" 

"Sure,  if  you'll  put  a  card  on  it,"  replied 
the   darkey. 

The  traveller  himted  thru  his  pockets  for 
a  card  with  his  name  on  it,  but  without 
.success.  But  he  found  an  old  pack  of  play- 
ing cards,  and  scribbling  his  name  across  one 
of  them,  he  laid  it  on  the  bag.  .  .  .  Coming 
back  from  the  refreshment  room  he  found 
his  bag  missing.  _ 

"Porter,  some  one  has  taken  my  bag!  he 
cried. 

The  porter  chuckled.  "Say,  mister,  that 
was  cert'nly  a  foolish  thing  you  did." 

"Why,  what  did  I  do?" 

"You  laid  a  King  of  Hearts  on  that  bag 
and  a  chap  just  come  uphere  and  put  an  ace 
on  it  and  took  it  away!"

Immediately — safely 

ONLY  a  chemist  should  mix  a 
depilatory,  then  it  is  sure  to 
be  safe.  Unlike  pastes  and  powders 
which  must  be  mixed  by  the  user, 
DeMiracleisa  Hquid  just  the  right  strength 
for  instant  use.  It  never  deteriorates. 
DeMiracle  is  more  economical  because 
there  is  no  waste.  It  is  the  quickest,  most 
cleanly  and  simple  to  apply. 

To  devitalize  hair  you  must  use 
DeMiracle.  Being  a  liquid  it  permits  ab- 
sorption. Therefore  it  is  totally  different. 
It  attacks  hair  under  the  skin  as  well  as  on 
the  skin  which  is  the  only  common-sense 
way  to  remove  it  from  face,  neck,  arms, 
underarms  or  limbs. 

Only  the  original  sanitary  liquid 
DeMiracle  has  a  money-back  guarantee 
in  each  package.

bloom.  Oriental  pergolas,  quaint  pagoda- 
shaped  bird-houses,  stone  storks  and 
fantastically  cut  shrubbery.  At  one  end 
of  the  garden  a  hill  rose  steeply,  and 
this,  Mr.  Trenton  pointed  out,  was  built 
by  the  studio  carpenters,  in  tiers  like  the 
seats  of  a  circus,  and  covered  with  green 
shavings  to  simulate  grass.  To  the 
camera's  eye  the  illusion  was  perfect. 
There  was  not  an  inch  of  the  magic  gar- 
den that  did  not  look  as  if  it  had  been 
born  and  educated  in  Japan. 

We  sat  down  in  the  bamboo  pergola, 
and  Mr.  Trenton  talked  about  his  work 
on  stage  and  screen. 

"I  really  started  in  to  be  a  lawyer,"  he 
said,  "but  just  as  I  was  ready  to  take 
my  examinations  I  took  a  notion  that  I 
would  rather  be  an  actor.  Perhaps  if  I 
had  had  a  great  deal  of  trouble  getting 
started  my  ardor  would  have  been  damp- 
ened, but  as  it  was,  I  got  a  bit  with  Julia 
Marlowe  the  first  thing  in  'The  Goddess 
of  Reason.'  I  stayed  with  her  company 
until  she  married  JNIr.  Sothern,  and  after 
that — well,  I've  had  a  checkered  career. 
I'xe  played  everything  from  the  stern 
father  who  shoves  his  erring  daughter 
out  into  the  paper  snowstorm  to  the 
jealous  husband  in  'Parlor,  Bedroom  and 
Bath,'  which  was,  by  the  way,  my  last 
stage  appearance  in  New  York.  From 
1910  to  1918  I  played  one  hundred  and 
fifty  leads  in  stock  companies  in  Salt 
Lake  City,  Bridgeport,  New  Haven  and 
New  York,  and  I  was  a  juvenile  in  Her- 
bert Blache's  compan)' — he  is  with  Metro 
now,  v'ou  know,  and  directed  'The  Up- 
lifters,'  in  which  I  played  opposite  Miss 
Allison.'' 

Somehow  we  got  around  to  talking 
about  the  war. 

"Oh,  yes,  I  enlisted,"  he  said,  "but  I 
didn't  get  across — worse  luck !  I  was  in 
the  officers'  training  camp  at  Palo  Alto 
when  the  war  flix'vered.  I  think  I  would 
have  made  a  good  soldier,  too,"  he  con- 
tinued, a  trifle  wistfully.  "It's  in  the 
blood.  All  the  Pells  and  Trentons  have 
been  military  men,  and  I  am  what  mother 
calls  a  'double  son'  of  the  Revolution, 
because  two  of  my  ancestors  fought  in 
that  war,  one  as  a  Tory  and  one  as  a 
Colonial." 

After  being  mustered  out,  Mr.  Tren- 
ton took  up  picture  work  once  more,  hav- 
ing before  his  enlistment  played  witli 
Mrs.  \^ernon  Castle  in  "Stranded  in 
Arcady"  and  with  Clara  Kimball  Young  I 
in  "The  House  of  Glass."'  Since  the  war 
he  has  been  with  Metro,  and  has  pla)'ed 
opposite  May  Allison  in  "The  Uplifters," 
"Fair  and  Wanner"  and  is  now  Viola 
Dana's  leading  man  for  "The  Willow 
Tree." 

Somewhere  from  the  interior  set  an 
authoritative  voice  was  calling  for 
"Pell,"  and  Pell  responded  in  a  tone 
that  was  a  little  regretful — at  least  I 
imagined  that  it  was,  and  I  hope  I  was 
right. 

"I  wont  detain  you  a  minute  longer."  I 
said,  as  we  walked  down  the  gravel  path

MOTION  PICTURE 

The  Little  Shepherd  of  Kingdom 
Come 

(Continued  from  page  74) 
It  wa.<;  long  after  when  they  remem- 
bered Melissa.  ''She  hunted  for  those 
papers — all  this  time,"  Chad  said,  won- 
deringly.  "Poor  M'liss!  Dear  M'lisst 
Oh,  we  must  find  her." 

But  when  they  did  find  Melissa  she 
needed  no  thank's  of  theirs.  Very  still 
and  white  and  peaceful  she  lay  on  the 
narrow  bed  in  the  hospital  where  she  had 
gone  from  Margaret's  door,  and  once 
again  with  the  little  shadowy,  mysterious 
smile  on  the  lips,  no  longer  hungry,  Me- 
lissa was  beautiful.  They  gave  her  a 
simple  burial  in  the  valley,  for  somehow 
Margaret  knew,  being  a  woman,  that 
Melissa  would  have  liked  to  be  near 
Chad. 

It  would  have  been  followed  by  a  wed- 
ding, but  on  the  very  eve  the  smoulder- 
ing fires  of  the  quarrel  between  North 
and  South  burst  out  in  all  their  devas- 
tating brightness,  and  Chadwick  Buford 
told  his  sweetheart,  with  white  lips,  that 
he  could  not  fight  for  the  South  and  keep 
his  honor  clean.  "And  now,"  he  said, 
wistfully,  when  she  was  done  with  futile 
weeping  and  pleading,  "now  I  suppose 
you  hate  me,  Margaret,  and  never  wish 
to  see  me  again?" 

"Never!"  she  flamed,  small  foot  set 
violently  down;  "never!"  And  then,  as, 
bowing,  he  turned  to  go,  she  whispered, 
in  a  small  voice,  after  him,  "Oh,  Chad ! 
Be  careful — dont  let  them  shoot  }'ou !" 

The  major  took  the  news  as  a  man 
takes  a  sentence  of  death.  He  seemed 
to  shrivel  up  before  the  young  eyes  that 
pitied  and  yearned  over  him,  to  grovy,  of 
a  sudden,  very  old  and  frail  and  tired. 
"Go,  then,"  the  major  said,  in  a  panting 
whisper.  "Go.  damn  you !  I've  raised  a 
traitor  to  my  country!^  I  hope  I  never 
may  see  your  face  again." 

He  never  did  see  it  again.  The  war 
was  hardly  a  year  old  when  the  major 
died.  Just  before,  he  sent  for  Margaret. 
"Dont  "be — too  hard  on  the  lad,"  he  whis- 
pered, difficultly.  "Always— did  what 
he  thought  right — damn  fool,  of  course" 
— his  voice  grew  weaker — "but — I'd 
never  have  forgiven  him — if  he  hadn't 
fought  as  he  thought.    A  thorobred— by 

sjad,  my  dear — a  gentleman " 

And' so  when  a"t  last  the  great  wound 
had  begvin  to  heal  and  men  were  brothers 
again  "instead  of  enemies,  Chadwick 
Buford  came  home  to  the  great  empty 
house  which  the  major  had  willed  to  him, 
in  stiff,  unforgiving  phrases,  and  after  a 
week  of  self-flagellation  he  crossed  the 
vard,  with  its  roses  and  laurel,  and  set 
the  brass  knocker  on  the  Deans'  door 
thundering.  ; 

In  the  drawing-room,  a  trifle  shabby 
now,  as  all  the  South  was  and  would  be 
hereafter,  he  faced  Margaret  Dean,  her 
brightness  hardly  a  little  touched  by  the 
four  years  of  pain,  tho  her  dress  was  of 
an  older  style  and  mended  cleverly. 

"I  have  come  back,  Margaret,"  he  said 
slowly,   searching  the   face  that  bafiled 
him,  "I  have  come  back.     Can  you  for-

CLASSIC 

Meet  "The  Frog" 

(Continued  from  page  38) 

the  State  Institution  for  the  Deaf  and 
Dumb,  in  Colorado  Springs.  His  mother 
had  always  been  interested  in  dramatics, 
and  even  after  her  marriage  she  con- 
tinued to  direct  and  be  stage  manager  of 
all  the  entertainments  given  at  the  insti- 
tution, and  Lon  was  barely  three  when  he 
began  appearing  in  charades  and  panto- 
mime sketches. 

At  the  age  of  twelve,  he  was  property 
boy  at  a  local  theater  for  twenty-five 
cents  a  night.  At  eighteen  he  started 
into  the  theatrical  business  in  earnest  and 
with  his  brother,  who  was  twenty-three, 
he  opened  a  stock  musical  comedy  com- 
pany, producing  all  the  Gilbert  and  Sulli- 
van operas.  Lon  played  the  comedy 
roles  and  arranged  the  dancing  acts,  for 
he  had  become  a  skillful  dancer,  tho 
never  having  had  a  lesson. 

They  played  the  entire  season  at  the 
3rand  Opera  House,  then  toured  the 
State,  after  which  they  sold  the  company 
to  the  leading  tenor,  and  Mr.  Chaney 
continued  with  them  as  master  of  trans- 
portation, wardrobe  mistress  and  come- 
dian, all  for  the  enormous  sum  of  twelve 
dollars  per  week. 

"Lots  of  high-sounding  titles,  but  little 
■  money,"  he  laughed.     "But  will  you  be- 
lieve me  when  I  tell  you  that  I  saved  four 
dollars  every  week? 

"Tho  I  played  in  musical  comedy  for 
years,  I  knew  nothing  of  music  and 
couldn't  sing  a  note,  but  a  comedian  has 
much  liberty  in  this  line  and  can  always 
get  by  with  reciting  his  songs  and  adding 
a  little  dancing  to  the  number.  The  only 
dramatic  role  I  ever  played  was  Gaspard 
in  'Chimes  of  Normandy.'  " 

About  1909,  Mr.  Chaney  came  to  Los 
Angeles  and  appeared  in  tabloid  musical 
comedy,  later  joining  Ferris  Hartman's 
stock  company,  playing  in  a  number  of 
such  operas  as  "A  Knight  for  a  Day" 
and  "The  Time,  the  Place  and  the  Girl" 
at  the  Lyceum  Theater  in  Los  Angeles. 
Lon  Chaney's  next  step  was  to  become 
the  producer  of  Kolb  and  Dill,  those 
popular  funmakers  of  the  stage.  He  also 
acted  and  danced  in  the  plays.  It  was 
while  on  tour  that  he  met  Lee  Moran, 
who,  having  identified  himself  with  the 
motion  pictures  a  year  or  so  before,  was 
enthusiastic  over  their  possibilities,  and 
on  his  return  to  Los  Angeles  he  called  on 
IMr.  Moran  at  the  studio. 

"You  can  guess  the  remainder  of  the 
story,"  IMr.  Chaney  went  on.  "I  soon 
succumbed,  and  my  first  work  was  with 
Allen  Curtis,  at  Universal,  in  a  regular 
slapstick  comedy.  Then  I  played  a 
strong  character  role,  a  hunchback  fish- 
erman, one  of  those  rough  exteriors  but 
witii  a  heart  of  gold,  in  a  story  written 
by  Jeanie  MacPherson.  Tho  only  a 
two-reeler,  it  went  big,  while  I  made  the 
discovery  that  the  screen  was  more  in- 
teresting than  the  stage.  I  wouldn't  go 
back  for  worlds.  This  work  affords  a 
broader  scope,  a  chance  for  splendid 
character  acting,  and  I  like  the  idea  of 
a  different  role  with  every  picture.

MOTION  PICTURE 

Mr,  Chaney  is  a  quiet,  home-loving 
man,  ciioosiiig  to  spend  his  leisure  in  his 
beautiful  little  bungalow  in  Hollywood 
with  his  wife,  a  charming,  vivacious 
Italian  woman,  and  his  twelve-)'ear-old 
son.  His  father  and  mother,  and  also  a 
brother,  lately  returned  from  overseas, 
live  nearby,  and  family  reunions  are 
frequent. 

Recalling  that  he  had  directed  Jack 
Kerrigan  at  one  time,  I  asked  Mr. 
Chaney  if  he  would  like  to  give  up  acting 
and  take  up  the  megaphone. 

"Oh,  no,"  was  his  quick  response ;  "I 
like  acting  too  well  for  that.  An  arrange- 
ment that  would  suit  me  perfectl)'  would 
be  co-directing  and  acting.  My  ambi- 
tion is  to  become  the  greatest  character 
man  and  heavy  on  the  screen. 

"Every    moment    of    human    life    is 
drama,  usually  melodrama,  gripping  and 
stirring.     It  is  the  story  of  struggle — the 
fall  and  the  regeneration,  the  quarrel  and  , 
the  making  up,   light  and  shade,  some- ) 
times    a    deeper    shadow    and    a    httle  ' 
brighter    light,    but    always    interesting, 
always  vital. 

"One   must  study  to  distinguish  just 
the  .shadings  between  the  rogue,  or  vil- 
lain, and  the  hero,  for  after  all,  it  is  the  i 
mental    viewpoint    that   counts,    and    itsl 
subtle    influence    permeates    the    entire] 
action." 

As  I  listened  to  his  words  I  realized] 
that  simplicity  and  sincerity,  intensity) 
and  force  were  the  qualities  that  have 
made  his  characters  true  human  beings, 
and  again  I  recalled  his  expressive  face, 
bravely  smiling  thru  the  tears,  as  he  said 
"Keep  the  big  smile  working  overtime," 
in  the  climax  of  "The  Miracle  Man."

There's  rent  to,  pay  and  food  and  clothes  to 

buy. 

'TIs  oft  that  I  grow  weary  of  the  dingy  streets 

and  walls 
And  long  for  wind-swept  fields  and  skies  of 

blue ; 
While  all  my  starved   and  yearning  soul   for 

joy  and  beauty  calls — 
For  once  far  fairer  scenes  than  this  I  knew. 

But  yester-night  I  chanced  to  go  to  watch  the 

pictures  play 
In  fleeting,  fairy  fashion  on  the  screen. 
I  saw — I  scarce  believe  it  yet — the  ocean  foam 

and  spray 
And  stately  ships  that  plowed  their  way  be- 

tween. 

1  saw  old-fashioned  gardens  quaint,  where' 
lilies  tall  and  fair. 

.And  gorgeous  poppies  nodded  in  the  sun; 

I  saw  the  guelder-roses  bending  in  the  sum- 
mer air 

Which  blew  away  their  petals,  one  by  one. 


The  huge  machines  whir  noisily;  the  room  is 
filled  with  din  ; 

Without,  there  is  the  ceaseless  noise  and 
strife ; 

But  thru  my  happy  memory  a  host  of  pic- 
tures spin, 

Where  sea  and  ships  and  summer-time  are 
rife. 

(Eighty-imo) 


CLASSIC 

STAGE    EFFECTS 
By  Walter  E.  Mair 

The  little  things  that  Mary  says  to  me, 
When  we  are  sitting  looking  at  the  screen, 

Somehow  just  make  me  wish  that  I  might  he 
In  charge  of  all  the  lights — and  the  machine. 

I'd  flash  "Good  Night,"  and  let  the   fans  de- 
part. 

And  then  a  single  lamp  of  rosy  glow 
I'd  burn  before  a  close-up  of  my  heart 

To  show  her,  so  she  couldn't  fail  to  know, 

How.  as  the  shadow-people  went  their  way, 
One  vision  only  lingered  to  the  end. 

All  bound  'round  with  my  thoughts  from  day 
to  day, 
A  vision  much  too  dear  to  just  pretend! 

And  then  I'd  put — ah,  yes,  a  question-mark 
In  softest  tints  I'd  screen,  while,  tenderly. 

As  lights  died  down  till  all  was  still  and  dark, 
I'd  h.ive   the  organ  breathe   "Oh,   Promise 
Mel" 


ANTICIPATION 
By  Barbara  Hollis 

In  life's  wide  fields  and  wooded  hills, 
In  deep  ravine  or  plain. 
They  who  have  passed  each  other  once 
May  some  time  meet  again. 

Thru  life's  long  paths  of  mystery. 
Of  happiness  and  pain. 
This  is  my  prayer  :  Our  lips  have  met — 
God  grant  they  meet  again ! 


JOURNEY'S    END 
By  Morrie  Ryskind 

"Love."  said  I.  "I'm  thru  with  j-ou  forever: 

You  have  mocked  me  with  your  promises  long 
enough  1 

I  liave  followed  strange  roads  when  you  com- 
manded, 

Strange  roads    .     .    . 

Roads  that  beckoned,  ever  beckoned   .    .    . 

And  at  the  trail's  end,  there  rose  the  Mirage 
of  Happiness — 

But  it  was  only  a  mirage. 

For  the  trail  led  to  Nowhere." 

And  Love  spake : 

"It    is    true    you    have    not    found    what    you 

sought, 
But  was  the  seeking  the  less  joyous  therefore? 
Ah  !  the  clean,  sweet  dreams 
That  I  alone  can  give    .    .     . 
Only  dreams,  it  is  true,  but  has  Life 
Anything  better  to  offer?" 

But  I  steeled  my  heart  to  his  pleading. 

And  I  said : 

"Love  is  only  a  dream,  and  I  would  awaken 

to  Life!"   .    .    . 
And  so  I  started  on  the  Great  Adventure 
Alone. 

And  Life  was  worth  the  finding: 
And  I  slew  many  dragons  on  the  way. 
And     fought     my     battles     with     a     stalwart 

heart    .    .    . 
Sometimes   I   missed  the  phantasies   of   Love. 
But  mainly  I  was  thrilled  with  the  realities  of 

Life    .     .     . 
Often  the  Road  I  had  chosen 
Appeared  to  lose  itself  in  many  windings. 
But  ever  it  unwound  itself. 
Leading  to  Somewhere    .     .     . 
And  I   laughed,  and  was  merry. 
For  the  other  roads 
Had  led  to  Nowhere   .    .    . 

So  came  I  to  the  Ending  of  the  Road, 

And  there— behold  I — 

Far  more  alluring  than  before 

Was  Love  ! 

"So  this."  I  laughed,  "is  the  end  of  all  I" 
But  Love  smiled  whimsically   .    .    . 
And  so  I  knew 
That  it  was  only  the  beginning.

Ethf.l  Clayton  Forf,ver. — Greetings,  friends, 
and  I  hope  we  can  get  back  on  schedule  time 
from  now  on.  I  hope  you  will  be  patient  with 
me,  and  I'll  do  my  best  to  make  up  for  lost 
time.  There  is  no  Triangle  Film  Co. — 
at  least  they  are  not  producing.  Mildred  Har- 
ris Chaplin  can  be  reached  at  Los  Angeles, 
Cal.     No. 

Ethel  M.  P.— Your  first  letter,  is  it?  Well, 
come  often.  Ralph  Graves  married?  Nay, 
nay!  Yes,  Dorothy  Dalton  is  playing  at  the 
Ccnturv  Theater,  New  York  City.  Of  course 
Emily  Stevens  is  still  in  the  ring — she  is  play- 
ing in  "The  Sacred  Flame."  Somehow  or 
other  that  girl  likes  fire. 

Little  Miss  Zealandia. — Yes,  and  some  of 
the  American  people  waste  their  lives  as  tho 
they  were  going  to  have  plenty  of  others  to 
utilize.  Why,  Tom  Forman  has  signed  a 
contract  with  Lasky  for  four  years.  He's  do- 
ing some  directing,  too.  No,  child,  I  dont  con- 
ceal my  age  because  I  might  receive  mash 
notes  from  admirers.  I'm  honest  to  goodness 
79.  Do  write  me  again,  enjoyed  yours  im- 
mensely. 

Warwick  Admirer. — Right  you  are.  Alice 
Joyce  is  playing  in  "Slaves  of  Pride."  Jack 
Dempsey,  the  pugilist,  is  playing  in  the  Pathe 
serial,  "Dead  or  Alive,"  produced  in  Los  An- 
geles. Of  course,  I  live  alone.  You  think  I 
ought  to  have  a  butler?  They're  not  being 
made  any  more.  Butlers  are  like  poets,  thev 
haA^e  to  be  born  that  way,  but  when  a  child 
is  born  nowadays,  he  is  expected,  to  become 
president — never  a  butler. 

Alma  Mata, — I'll  do  anything  to  help  you. 
Why  dont  you  send  a  stamped  addressed  en- 
velope for  a  list  of  the  correspondence  clubs? 
Yes,  Roscoe  Arbuckle  is  with  Lasky  playing  in 
"The  Round-Up."  Edward  Earle  will  play 
leading  part  in  "The  Law  of  the  Yukon,"  re- 
leased thru  Mayflower.  Oh.  I  dont  mind  when 
they  complain.  More  people  make  complaints 
than  ever  make  a  living.     Sure,  run  in  again. 

Jennie. — You  ask  me  why  I  raised  a  beard. 
Well,  it  was  this  way,  Jennie.  The  women 
insisted  upon  sending  me  so  many  ties,  in  self- 
defense  I  raised  a  beard.  Now  you  have  my 
secret.  No,  you  need  cry  no  more,  Eugene' 
O'Brien  is  not  married.  Dorothy  Davenport, 
Mrs.  Wallace  Reid,  is  playing  in  "The  Fight- 
ing Chance"  wnth  Conrad  Nagel  and  Anna 
Nilsson.     Los  Angeles,  of  course. 

Alma  S. — So  you  have  a  new  ermine  scarf. 
Fit  for  the  queen,  I'll  say.  Did  you  know 
tliat  ermine  was  nothing  but  the  winter  skin 
of  the  common  stoat.  The  animal  turns  white 
in  snow  time,  all  but  the  very  tip  of  its  tail, 
which  remains  black.  Mabel  Julienne  Scott, 
Tom  Forman,  Irving  Cummings  and  Roscoe 
Arbuckle  all  playing  in  "The  Round-Up," 
directed  by  George  Melford.  I  should  say 
that  was  some  round-up — all-star  cast,  too. 
So  long.  Alma. 

DoMACO. — No.  I  never  get  angry.  When  I 
feel  it  coming  on,  I  count  ten.  That's  a  won- 
derful joke  of  yours — you  say  a  blotter  is  not 
the  real  thing,  it's  just  a  take  off.  True,  a 
blotter  does  not  blot — simply  absorbs  the 
superfluous  ink.  Why,  Jack  Dempsey  is  living 
in   Fannie  Ward's   former  home   in   Los   An- 


geles.    Jack  Sherrill  will  return  to  the  stage 
soon. 

L.  G.— Well  Mary  Pickford  is  26,  and  Elsie 
Ferguson — well,  she  sang  in  the  chorus  of 
"Belle  of  New  York''  twenty  years  back,  so 
which  is  older?  Yes,  Lionel  Barrymore  is 
playing  in  "The  Copperhead."  a  famous  stage 
play,  for  Paramount.  Blanche  Sweet  in  Bret 
Harte's  "Fighting  Cressy." 

Kewpie  D. — You  bet  I  like  kewpies.  I  like 
the  "splash  me  kewpies."  Sorry  I  haven't  her 
name.  You  probably  read  it  in  one  of  the 
newspapers,  there's  only  about  60,000  news- 
papers in  the  world.  Dolores  Cassinelli  is 
playing  in  "The  Web  of  Deceit."  Leah  Baird 
in  "The  Capitol." 

Frederick  W.  K. — You  win.  you  win,  my 
error.  You  say  I  was  all  wrong  when  I  said 
"Neither  Constance  Talmadge  nor  Harrison 
Ford  are  married."  The  verb  should  be  singu- 
lar.    Thanks  for  the  correction. 

Eitance. — If  you  refer  to  the  King  and 
Queen,  they  have  returned  to  Belgium. 

Norma  Talmadge  Lover. — Thank  you  for 
your  invitation  to  spend  my  vacation  with  yon 
at  Sparta,  but  since  it  is  on  the  Erie  R.  R.  I 
cannot  accept.  The  last  time  I  rode  on  that 
road  I  asked  the  man  back  of  me  a  question. 
He  could  not  answer,  but  he  said  he  had  been 
riding  on  that  road  all  his  life.  I  then  sug- 
gested he  must  have  got  on  just  before  I  did. 
I  dont  see  why  they  put  cow-catchers  on  the 
Erie  engines.  They  ought  to  put  them  on  the 
rear  car.  There  is  not  the  slightest  danger 
of  an  Erie  train  ever  overtaking  a  cow,  but 
what  is  to  prevent  a  cow  from  walking  in  the 
rear  car  and  chewing  somebody  up?  No, 
thanks,  anywhere  but  on  the  Erie  for  mine. 
You  want  more  about  Norma  Talmadge  in 
our  magazines. 

PoLLYANNA.  —  The  explanation  of  the 
phrase  "mother  tongue"  is  that,  )at  home, 
father  has  nothing  to  say.  318  W.  48th  St.  is 
Norma  Talmadge's  address.  No,  I  have  no 
jokes  about  the  telephone  service.  It's  no  joke, 
believe  me.  Telephone  service  was  furnished 
to  residences  in  the  fall  of  1879  and  during  that 
year  there  were  sixteen  telephones  in  New 
York  City  residences  and  five  in  Brooklyn  resi- 
dences. No,  I  didn't  live  in  Brooklyn  then, 
I  lived  in  hopes,  and  I  had  plenty  of  neigh- 
bors. 

Harry  A.  J. — No,  Kathlyn  Williams  is  play- 
ing just  the  same.  Bebe  Daniels  is  in  Los 
Angeles,  Cal. 

VVallace  L. — It  isn't  the  way  you  look  at 
other  girls  that  spoils  you  with  your  sweetheart, 
but  the  way  they  dont  look  at  her.  Elsie 
Ferguson  born  in  New  York,  1883.  So  you 
have  been  floating  around  the  Fort  Lee 
studios  for  eighteen  months  and  cant  get  in. 

Henry  H.  D.— It's  on  now.  No,  Gen. 
Leonard  Wood  did  not  get  across,  but  his 
friends  are  now  trying  to  put  him  over. 

Helen  P.  G. — You  refer  to  "The  Canter- 
bury Tales,"  written  by  the  first  great  English 
poet.  Geoffrey  Chaucer.  You  say  the  Stadium

Shadows 
Cast  Before 

Some  seer  with  a  far  vision  has  said 
that  coming  events  cast  their  shadows 
before.  A  Modern,  especially  an  edi- 
torial Modern,  might  well  say  that  snch 
is  the  case  with  coming  Magazines — 
they  cast  their  shadows  before.  Shad- 
OWLAND  is  just  this— a  COMING  Maga- 
zine. Shatowland  docs  just  this.  It 
lives  in  the  Today  and  it  promises  rich- 
ly, artistically,  colorfully,  literarily  for 
Tomorrow.  This  is  the  Age  of  Prog- 
ress and  Shadowland  is  the  many- 
toned  note  striking,  striving  to  strike, 
the  harmony  of  the  Age,  the  ultra-per- 
fect Chord. 

Shadowland  wishes  to  be  in  many 
lives  just  that — a  perfect  chord.  A  per- 
fect chord  means  a  perfect  blending  o£ 
many  things  and  that,  again,  is  what 
Shadowland  aspires  to.  To  something, 
may  we  say,  just  a  little  bit  finer,  a 
littie  bit  higher,  a  little  bit  more  fraught 
with  dreams  and  dreaming  than  we,  the 
great  Most  of  Us,  get  in  our  Little 
Everyday.  Like  a  Shadow  it  wills  to 
move  in  the  trend  of  our  daily  lives  yet 
leaving  a  Substance  behind. 

There  is  no  one  of  us  who,  conscious- 
ly, subconsciously  or  unconsciously,  does 
not  love  and  reach  out  for  the  color 
nf  things,  the  pulse  of  things,  the 
rh>thm  of  things.  There  is  no  one  of 
us  who  would  not,  if  we  could,  'broider 
the  drab  cloth  of  the  mundane  with  a 
shimmering  Thread  of  Gold.  Perhaps, 
being  blest,  with  more  than  one  shim- 
mering thread.  Shadowland  would 
like  to  be  at  least  one  of  those  shim- 
mering threads. 

It  would  like  to  be  a  simile  to  the 
rainbow  seen  at  the  end  of  a  grey  day. 

It  would  like  to  be  as  a  song  heard 
faintly,  clearly,  by  a  weary  heart. 

It  would  like  to  induce  a  smile  where 
a  tear  had  been  before. 

It  would  like  to  give  an  hour  of  for- 
getfulness  with  the  turning  of  its  pages 
where  such  forgetfulness  might  be 
grateful  balm. 

It  would  like  to  be  a  friend,  felt  as  a 
friendly  haiid. 

It  would  like  to  be  a  light,  a  guide, 
under  no  obscuring  bushel  of  ad- 
versity. 

It  would  like  to  be  and  it  aims  to 
be  a  bit  of  real  beauty,  intrinsic,  like  a 
small  glimpse  of  depthless  blue  seen 
thru  rifted  clouds. 

To  this  end  it  has  striven  and  still 
more  mightily  will  strive. 

It  Avill  strive  for  Color  and  for 
Counsel. 

It  will  strive  for  Wisdom  and  for 
Wit. 

And  it  has  been  writ  in  many  a  book 
of  the  Ancients  that  to  those  among  us 
who  mightily  strive  will  be  awarded  the 
green  sprays  of  the  young  Laurel. 

We  of  Shadowland  ask  for  the 
laurels  of  many  friendships  and  the  be- 
liefs thereof!

The  -woman  of  fastidious  tastes, 
young  or  old,  realizes  that  beauty  is 
but  a  natural  reflection  of  health. 
Wrinkles,  "crow's  feet."  eyes  that  have 
lost  their  youthful  sparkle,  obesity  and 
other  unwelcome  facial  blemishes  are. 
to  a  great  extent  at  least,  brought  on 
by  what  we  term  "the  strenuous  life." 
Muscles  are  sure  to  become  weary 
and  congested  unless  they  get  relaxa- 
tion. And  complexions  are  certain  to 
suflfcr  unless  properly  taken  care  of. 
Home    electric    massage    is    recognized

The  Ambitious  iVliss  Eddy 

{Continued  from  pa-gc  55) 

fulfilling  her  destiny,  and  not  her  destiny 
alone,  but  the  destiny  of  another  Helen 
Eddy,  whose  career  in  this  incarnation 
ended  when  hers  began. 

This  Helen  Eddy,  at  one  time  a  fa- 
mous teacher  of  elocution,  was  her 
grandmother  and  constant  companion 
during  the  impressionable  years  of  her 
childhood.  Helen's  mother,  (every  one 
calls  Miss  Eddy  Helen),  was  very  ill, 
when  the  grandmotlier  took  the  little 
girl  and  brought  her  to  California,  so 
her  grandmother's  influence  was  the  first 
and  the  strongest  Helen  ever  knew.  It 
is  with  her  today  to  an  even  greater 
extent  than  when  her  grandmother  lived. 
So,  while  it  impressed  me  as  being 
unusual,  it  was  quite  natural  that  she 
should  have  asked  me  to  write  this  story 
about  her  grandmother. 

The  grandmother's  favorite  color  was 
lavender,  and  the  color  alone  is  enough 
to  bring  back  to  Helen  Eddy  vivid 
memories  of  days  spent  at  Mission  Inn, 
at  Riverside,  California,  when  she  was  a 
little  girl.  "This  was,"  she  said,  "before 
they  raised  the  rent  there."  Of  course,  it 
was  a  fashionable  place,  but  not  the  pala- 
tial resort  that  it  is  today.  The  first 
reprimand  she  ever  got  was  from  her 
grandmother,  for  whistling  in  the  dining- 
room  of  the  Mission  Inn. 

"She  was  so  very  beautiful,"  said 
Helen  Eddy.  "Her  hair  was  white,  soft 
and  waA'y,  and  her  face  was  very  sweet 
and  gentle.  She  had  lost  her  voice.  I 
never  knew  her  when  she  could  talk 
above  a  whisper,  but  that  whisper  was ' 
beautiful  in  tone.  She  read  and  recited 
to  me  constantly.  I  knew  'The  RJiyme 
of  the  Ancient  Mariner'  before  I  was 
seven  years  old.  Among  her  pupils 
was  Margaret  lUington — and  Margaret 
lUington  was  the  first  actress 'that  I  ever 
met  in  person." 

This  was  not  until  some  years  after 
her  grandmother  died.  Helen  Eddy  had 
been  going  to  a  dramatic  school  in  Los 
Angeles  for  some  years  and  appearing  in 
Los  Angeles  theaters  occasionally,  when 
such  appearances  did  not  interfere  with 
her  grammar  school  work.  The  first  of 
these  appearances  was  at  the  Burbank 
when  she  was  about  fourteen  and  was  in 
support  of  Margaret  Illington. 

"Grandmother  knew  Clara  Morris 
very  well,  and  she  used  to  give  me  read- 
ings showing  Miss  Morris'  conception  of 
many  a  famous  role.  She  used  to  talk 
to  me  of  the  history  of  the  stage,  too, 
long  before  I  was  old  enough  to  under- 
stand." 

So  you  see  all  of  Helen  Eddy's  train- 
ing was  for  the  speaking  stage  and,  tho 
her  work  for  the  screen  is  always  sincere 
and  conscientious,  she  is  still  looking  for- 
ward to  the  career  originally  planned. 
She  went  on  the  screen  by  accident,  any- 
how, or  at  least  it  seemed  that  way.  It 
all  happened  when  she  was  a  high  school 
student  at  ^lanual  Arts,  a  school  that' 
saw  the  early  training  of  many  another 
moving  picture  player. 

High  school  days  gave  Helen  the  de- 

(Eighty-dx) 


CLASSIC 

sire  to  write  plays  as  well  as  act  in  them. 
She  became  the  official  stage  director  of 
many  a  production.  From  writing  plays 
she  began  writing  scenarios  and  from 
writing  scenarios  she  began  trying  to  sell 
them.  It  was  in  this  way  she  met  Cap- 
tain Melville,  head  of  the  Lubin  studios. 
Captain  Melville  did  not  buy  a  scenario, 
but  her  long  training,  first  under  her 
grandmother  and  thep  at  a  dramatic 
school,  had  given  her  a  bearing  that  he 
recognized.  She  was  a  remarkable  type, 
he  saw,  a  type  that  would  either  be  a 
great  success  or  a  flat  failure.  He  of- 
fered her  a  place  with  his  company,  not 
as  a  scenario  writer,  but  as  an  actress, 
and  she  accepted.  Her  first  picture  was 
"As  the  Twig  Is  Bent."  This  was  in 
San  Diego.  She  remained  there  for  si.x 
months,  playing  a  little  bit  of  everything. 
In  Los  Angeles  again,  she  applied  for 
work  with  the  Morosco  Company.  She 
became  George  Beban's  leading  woman, 
and  in  order  to  look  more  thoroly  the 
Italian,  she  bobbed  her  hair,  to  the  very 
great  distress  of  her  family.  Her  first 
Beban  picture  was  "Pasquale,''  followed 
by  "His  Sweetheart,"  "The  Marcellini 
Millions,"  "The  Cook  of  Canyon  Camp" 
and  "One  More  American."  Now  she 
is  a  free-lance,  and  so  great  is  the  call 
for  her  services  that  she  is  frequently 
compelled  to  make  two  pictures  at  once, 
as  when  she  did  a  heavy,  tragic  role 
with  Hayakawa  mornings  and  broad 
farce  with  Bryant  Washburn  afternoons. 
She  appeared  in  "The  Man  Beneath"  and 
"The  Illustrious  Prince"  with  Haya- 
kawa. Her  latest  role  is  with  Mary 
Pickford  in  "Pollyanna." 


The  Farce  University 

{Continued  from  page  33) 

Also  why  Miss  Lake  was  only  re- 
cently playing  opposite  the  rotund 
"Fatty"  Arbuckle. 

Why  Betty  Compson  was  also  aiding 
the  avoirdupois  Arbuckle  a  few  short 
months  ago. 

Why  Bebe  Daniels  stepped  from  Har- 
old Lloyd  to  Cecil  De  Mille's  studio. 

And  why  Mary  Thurinan  deserted  the 
Sennett  bathing  squad  for  Art. 

The  Metro  powers-that-be  consider 
Miss  Lake  the  discovery  of  the  screen 
season.  But  before  Miss  Lake  became  a 
foil  for  the  heavy  Mr.  Arbuckle,  she 
had  serious  screen  leanings.  A  Brooklyn 
girl,  she  started  at  old  Vitagraph.  .After 
that  she  was  at  Universal.  Then  came 
her  excursion  into  farce  with  Sennett, 
Christie  and  Arbuckle,  all  of  which  ap- 
parently brought  her  ability  to  a  head. 

Mary  Thurman  was  just  an  unknown 
bathing  beauty  on  the  Sennett  beach 
when  a  shrewd  press  agent  "discovered" 
that  she  was  an  all-round  athlete.  Then 
Mary  leaped  into  fame  overnight.  All 
the  time,  however,  she  was  obtaining 
valuable  training.  Like  every  other  mem- 
ber of  the  Sennett  seagoing  squad,  she 
had  dramatic  leanings,  and  her  farce  ex- 
perience seems  to  have  started  her  well 
on  the  road  to  success.

Reel  Realities 


What  is  being  done  towards  preserving 
tlie  motion  picture  records  of  our  coun- 
try's participation  in  the  great  war? 

These  priceless  films  should  be  placed 
in  some  kind  of  national  film  repository, 
probably  in  the  Smithsonian  Institute  in 
Washington,  and  measures  made  for  the 
preservation  and  renewal  of  these  films 
as  long  as  may  be  possible.  Steps  have 
already  been  taken  along  this  line  in 
France  and  the  idea  has  been  taken  up 
in  England.  Indeed,  the  movement  has 
been  given  wide  comment  thruout  British 
film  circles. 

Preserving  War  Films 

In  each  allied  country  much  money 
has  been  spent  on  commissioning  painters 
to  record  now  historical  battle  scenes, 
but  little  real  effort  seems  to  have  been 
made  towards  preserving  the  actual  film 
records  of  these  events.  Says  the  Lon- 
don Kineinatograph  anent  the  subject: 

"Surely  we  do  not  want  the  American 
film  version  of  what  occurred  to  be  the 
only  record  for  posterity  to  see !  Even 
if  it  were  necessary  to  take  fresh  copies 
of  the  films  every  few  years,  the  expense 
would  be  quite  justified  and  more  than 
compensated  by  the  money-earning  value 
of  the  films.  There  are  many  other  films 
which  might  be  added  to  the  National 
Repository,  notably  the  films  of  famous 
people,  living  or  dead,  and  the  big  his- 
torical subjects,  but  for  the  moment  we 
are  confining  this  inquiry  to  official  war 
films,  the  preservation  of  which  it  is  nec- 
essary to  take  prompt  steps  to  insure. 
On  the  general  question,  our  view  is  that 
the  directors  of  the  National  Repository 
would  invite  all  producing  companies  to 
present  copies  of  worthy  subjects  for 
presei-vation,  and  we  are  certain  that  all 
producers  would  regard  such  an  invita- 
tion in  the  light  of  an  honor.  How  much 
time  must  elapse  before  we  see  the 
National  Film  Repository  founded?" 

Public  Questions  on  the  Screen 

Until  the  government  recently  asked 
the  film  world  to  cooperate  during  the 
war  and  again  only  recently  in  combat- 
ing Bolshevik  influences,  the  idea  seemed 
pretty  thoroly  rooted  that  the  film  should 
not  enter  the  field  of  public  discussion. 
The  motion  picture  was  an  entertain- 
ment, it  was  reasoned,  and  not  a  means 
of  public  debate.    Why? 

As  well  rate  the  newspaper  and  maga- 
zine as  light  reading  and  cast  aside  their 
vast  power  to  present  and  discuss  cur- 
rent questions. 

The  possibilities  of  the  silversheet  are 
beyond  our  present  horizon.  But  surely 
the  canvas  will  embrace  things  of  vital 
import  to  us  today.  The  motion  picture 
can  do  more  to  explain,  teach  and  de- 
velop humanity  than  any  other  agent. 
Consequently  we  disagree  with  the  fa- 
mous T.  P.  O'Connor  when  he  says,  at 


a  meeting  of  the  British  Kinema  Com- 
mission of  Inquiry: 

"We  would  not  allow  films  showing  a 
dispute  between  capital  and  labor  or  se- 
rious things  like  that.  You  see,  a  depart- 
ment like  ours,  if  we  took  these  things 
on,  would  have  a  very  large  and  a  very 
delicate  issue  to  decide,  and  we  are  not 
anxious  to  add  to  our  responsibilities. 
We  exist  mainly,  almost  exclusively,  for 
the  kinema  theater  alone,  for  the  amuse- 
ment of  the  public,  and  for  the  profit  of 
the  proprietor  or  the  owner  of  the  film." 
In  other  words,  the  kinema  is  a  business, 
not  a  debating  circle. 

Kinema  Theaters  in  China 

Albert  Nachbaur  states  in  the  Chinese- 
French  Journal  de  Pekin  that  there  are 
only  fifty-seven  kinemas  for  the  four 
hundred  million  inhabitants  of  China. 
And,  he  adds,  it  is  not  the  patrons  who 
are  lacking. 

"The  Chinaman,  curious,  artistic,  and 
a  loiterer,  adores  the  kinema ;  but  in 
order  to  make  it  popular  there  must  be 
touring  undertakings,  a  special  wagon  on 
each  of  the  principal  railways."  Weekly 
shows  could  be  held  in  the  theaters  and 
halls.  With  regard  to  films,  at  present, 
he  states,  Pathe  and  Gaumont  are  repre- 
sented in  China.  "All  the  rest  are 
American." 

Consider  the  vast  possibilities  in  China 
for  Louis  Selznick  and  his  electric  signs. 

Foreign  Film  Activities 

Pavlowa  is  now  doing  a  film  play  in 
Rome  with  Rimich,  the  Italian  king  of 
the  screen.  Her  entire  ballet  appears 
with  her.  Reports  from  Spain,  by  the 
way,  indicate  that  Italian  productions  are 
returning  to  favor  there,  supplanting 
American  photoplays.  This  is  largely 
because  the  Italian  pictures  are  much 
cheaper  than  our  own. 

Paris  is  about  to  see  Griffith's  "Broken 
Blossoms"  under  the  title  of  "Les  Lys 
Brises." 

Restricting  British  Theater  Building 

The  building  of  theaters  in  England 
is  about  to  be  seriously  restricted,  at 
least.  The  British  Ministry  of  Health 
will  soon  take  steps  to  impose  drastic 
restrictions  upon  the  building  of  kinema 
theaters  until  the  government  housing 
scheme  has  yielded  more  tangible  results, 
it  is  said.  At  the  moment  the  cabinet  is 
considering  whether  it  would  not  be  ad- 
visable to  prohibit  the  erection  of  kinema 
buildings  altogether,  for  a  definite  period, 
but  the  present  indications  are  that  the 
less  drastic  course  of  imposing  restric- 
tions may  be  decided  upon.  It  is  impos- 
sible to  say  more  at  the  moment  beyond 
the  fact  that,  if  restrictions  are  decided 
upon,  these  would  operate  under  a  sys- 
tem of  licenses.  Such  licenses  would  be 
granted  only  in  such  districts  where  no 
housing  schemes  are  in  progress.

"What  prize  will  you  give  to  the  first 
director  who  omits  a  bathroom  scene?" 
asks  a  Classic  reader. 


While  we  are  on  the  subject  of  popu- 
lar trends  in  the  celluloid  plays,  what 
about  the  present  striving  for  boudoir 
daring  after  the  fashion  of  the  footlight 
dramas?  Listen  to  this  announcement 
of  a  Connie  Talmadge  production  :  "Just 
naughty  enough  to  be  nice."  In  it  Con- 
nie wears,  so  the  press  agent  declares,  a 
"filmy  costume  made  of  moonbeams  and 
midnight  witcheries." 

Just  now  the  celluloid  drama  is  under- 
going an  epidemic  of  desert  island  plays. 
Note  the  recent  Norma  Talmadge  effort, 
"Victory,"  "Male  and  Female,"  et  al. 
And  the  great  Griffith  is  coming  along 
with  another.  Which  raises  the  question, 
who  would  you  rather  be  desert-islanded 
with  ?  And  Griffith  seems  to  have  satis- 
factorily answered  the  question  in  his 
production  with  Cutie  Beautiful. 

And  while  we're  on  the  subject  of 
Griffith,  the  publicity  prize  of  1919  goes 
to  the  director's  recent  "lost  at  sea"  epi- 
sode. We  understand  that  one  Cali- 
fornia director  is  so  peeved  at  Griffith 
"making"  the  front  pages  with  a  dinky 
little  trading  steamer  that  he  contem- 
plates wrecking  an  ocean  liner.

So  people  said  when  I  first  started  in  1891.  But 
now,  alter  over  twenty-five  years  of  steady  growth, 
I  have  far  more  students  than  were  ever  before 
taught  by  one  man.  I  make  them  skilled  players 
of  the  piano  or  organ  in  quarter  the  usual  time 
at   quarter   the   usual   cost. 

To  persons  who   have  not  previously  heard  of  my 

method,    this    may    seem    a    pretty    bold    statement. 

But    I    will    gladly   convince   you   of   its   accuracy   by 

referring    you    to    any    number    of    my    graduates    m 

any   part   of   the    world.     There   isn't   a    state    in   the 

Union  that  doesn't  contain  a  score

^^^^K/jS         entire  training  from  me  by  mail.

a^i^^BH^J   64-page     free     booklet,     "How     to 

„  ^^^▼■^S   Learn  Piano  or  Organ." 

My  way  of  teaching  piano  or  organ 
is  ctitirciy  different  from  all  others. 
Out  of  everj-  four  hours  of  study, 
(jne  hour  is  spent  entirely  a-way  from 
the  i-in*oarrf  — learning  something 
about  Harmony  and  The  Laws  of 
Music.  This  is  an  awful  shock  to 
most  teachers  of  the  "old  school," 
who  still  think  that  learning  piano  is 
solely  a  problem  of  finger  gymnastics. 
When  you  do  go  to  the  keyboard, 
you  accomplish  twiee  as  ntuch,  be- 
cause you  understand  what  you  are 
doing.  Within  four  lessons  I  enable 
you  to  play  an  interesting  piece  not 
only  in  the  original  key,  but  in  all 
otlier  keys  as  well. 

I  make  use  of  every  possible  scien- 
tific help— many  of  which  are  entirely 
nnhno'.vn  to  the  average  teacher.  My 
patented  invention,  the  COLORO- 
TONE,  sweeps  away  playing  diflicul- 
tics  that  have  troubled  students  for 
generations.  By  its  use,  Transposi- 
tinn— usually  a  "night-mare"  to  stu- 
dents— becomes  easy  and  fascinating. 
With  my  fifth  lesson  I  introduce  an- 
'itiier  inipiiitant  and  exclusive  inven- 
tion, OLUXN-DEX,  Quinn-Dex  is  a 
simple"  hand-operated  moving  picture 
device,  which  enables  you  to  see, 
right  before  your  eyes,  every  move- 
ment of  my  hands  at  the  keyboard. 
]'oii  actually  sec  the  fingers  inuz'e. 
Instead  of  having  to  reproduce  your 
teacher's  finger  movements  from 
.MEMORY — which  cannot  be  always 
accurate — you  have  the  correct  mod- 
els before  you  during  every  minute 
,.!  practice.  The  COI.OROTOME

and  years  of  wasted  effort.   They  can

Fame  and  Fortune 
Contest 

Having  successfully  produced  the  two- 
reel  feature,  "A  Dream  of  Fair  Women," 
which  is  now  being-  shown  thruout  the 
country,  presenting  the  honor  roll  beau- 
ties and  winners  of  the  1919  Fame  and 
Fortune  Contest,  we  now  take  pleasure 
in  announcing  our  plans  for  the  1920  con- 
test. We  shall  produce  a  Five-Reel  fea- 
ture drama  for  the  honor  poll  contestants, 
and  we  shall  start  on  this  immediately. 
The  story  has  already  been  selected,  and 
it  is  a  strong,  unique,  original  and  pic- 
turesque one,  affording  fine  opportimitics 
for  many  players  of  different  types. 

Those  contestants  whose  pictures  ap- 
l)ear  to  us  to  be  very  promising  will  be 
communicated  with  at  once,  and  they 
may  be  offered  parts  in  this  great  play 
immediately.  While  we  are  now  starting 
])roduction,  the  pla)^  will  not  be  com- 
Iileted  until  late  in  the  fall,  and  it  will  in- 
clude the  test  scenes  of  the  honor  roll 
beauties,  which  will  be  taken  at  Roslyn. 
In  this  picture  we  can  use  a  few  persons 
other  than  young  and  pretty  girls,  for  we 
shall  need  several  character  types,  both 
male  and  female.  All  contestants  who 
wish  to  apply  for  one  of  these  parts  will 
kindly  so  state  on  their  entrance  coupon,

Priscilla 
And  Her  Pets 


Priscilla  Dean,  the  popular 
Universal  star,  is  apparently 
a  lover  of  pets,  judging  from 
all  photographic  indications. 
Priscilla,  by  the  viray,  is 
growing  in  popularity  with 
that  critical  bird,  the  photo-

MOTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC 

H— H— H! 

Human  Hobart  Henley 

{Continued  from  page  28) 

"The  business  end  of  it  is  the  trouble." 
he  said,  "the  retarding  factor.  Not  men- 
tioning any  names,  I  know,  from  per- 
sonal experience,  that  a  director  may  he 
working  on  a  picture  and  conditions  on  a 
certain  day  may  not  be  entirely  desirable. 
There  may  be  friction,  which  is  unavoid- 
able occasionally.  As  a  consec]uence, 
very  few  scenes  will  be  shot.  Perhaps, 
late  in  the  day,  the  power-that-be  will 
come  in  and  incjuire  how  many  scenes 
have  been  taken.  You  tell  him  and  he  is 
aghast.  He  tells  you,  in  no  very  meas- 
ured terms,  how  much  he  knows  should 
be  produced  per  diem,  per  hour.  Just  as 
tho  taking  films  were  so  much  grinding 
out  of  sausage  meat,  so  many  pounds  to 
the  hour,  on  an  efficiency  schedule.  This 
has  been  the  condition  a  great  many  of 
us  have  been  up  against.  It  has  been  a 
money-making  proposition  and  art  has 
had  to  stand  by.  These  things  consid- 
ered, and  their  quite  probable  elimination 
also  considered,  I  should  say  that  the 
screen  is  a  great  art.  It  has  every  pos- 
sible reason  to  be." 

I  mentioned,  with  an  ear  to  argument, 
the  loss  of  the  speaking  voice,  so  rich  an 
asset  on  the  stage. 

Mr.  Henley  waived  it  as  of  no  import, 
even  to  be  considered  as  an  advantage. 
He  suggested  that  I,  or  anybody,  sit 
thru,  in  one  evening,  two  or  three  stage 
plays.  Contrariwise,  he  suggested  sitting 
thru  two,  three,  even  four  photoplays. 
The  former  would  be.  he  said,  exhaust- 
ing, even  abnormal.  The  latter  would  be 
quite  in  order,  is  even  done,  and  with- 
out any  vast  amount  of  fatigue.  One 
sense  in  pictures,  the  aural  sense,  is  com- 
pletely at  rest.  Witnessing  a  stage  play 
all  the  senses  are  called  into  play. 

I  asked  him  whether  he  had  any  par- 
ticular mission  in  directing  pictures,  any 
specific  message  he  wished  to  give.  He 
disclaimed  this  with  a  smile  and  a  shrug. 
Just  something  human,  he  said,  some- 
thing that  people,  all  the  people  every- 
where might  see  and  go  away,  feeling 
kindlier,  feeling  happier  and  more  tol- 
erant, the  one  of  the  other,  than  they  had 
felt  before.  To  present  life,  not  as  we 
would  like  to  have  it,  but  as  it  is.  Illu- 
sions are  all  right  as  a  pique  now  and 
again,  but  dangerous  as  steady  diet. 

One  of  his  ideas,  which  seems  to  me 
interesting,  is  his  selection  of  themes. 
He  takes  only  what  appeals  to  him  as 
human,  whether  it  rises  or  falls  to  the 
general  rule  of  a  screen  play.  He  takes, 
only  what  appeals  to  him  as  that  fine 
thing  akin  to  tears  and  likewise  akin  to 
laughter,  which  makes  the  whole  world 
kin.  He  believes,  with  Kipling,  that 
Julia  O'Grady  and  the  Colonel's  lady  are 
sisters  under  the  skin  and  that,  funda- 
mentally, the  deepest  source  of  tears  and 
the  most  hidden  founts  of  laughter  are 
one  and  the  same. 

Another  idea  is  that  of  using,  in  his 
pictures,  non-professionals  almost  en- 
tirely. If  he  believes  that  a  person  fits 
the  part,  he   engages   him   to  play  the

part.  It  makes  no  difference  whether 
lie  lias  or  has  not  ever  played  before. 
It  makes  no  difference  where  he  comes 
from  nor  what  he  does.  He  might 
see  a  man  walking  along  tlie  street  and 
think  to  himself,  "That  is  my  John 
Smith."  He  would  approach  that  man 
and  put  it  up  to  him.  .'\lmost  always,  he 
says,  they  are  splendid.  Of  course,  he 
uses  discrimination.  If  a  person  looks 
so  utterl}'  the  type  as  the  persons  Mr. 
Henley  selects  look,  they  are  certain  to 
have  at  least  some  inside  qualities  to 
tally  with  their  outer  seeming.  Upon  that 
he  relies  and,  almost  always,  rightly. 

\Mien  I  talked  with  him  he  was  near 
to  the  end  of  directing  "Skin  Deep,"  the 
main  if  not  the  only  characters  being  two 
old  maids,  sisters,  to  whom,  after  lean 
years  and  many  dreams  foregone,  a 
legacy  is  left  .  .  .  their  reactions  .  .  - 
And  to  watch  him  handle  the  two  charac- 
ters was  a  joy  and  a  bit  of  artistry  .  .  . 
Just  as  tender  .  .  .  just  as  beguiling  .  .  . 
just  as  coaxy-and-come-ony-now  as  tho 
he  were,  in  reality,  inducing  emotions  in 
two  old,  quaint  ladies  dear  to  his  heart. 
He  has  that  manner,  anyway. 

He  loves  the  work  he  is  doing  because, 
he  says,  he  is  at  last  expressing  himself. 
He  is  doing,  is  going  to  do,  the  sort  of 
thing  he  has  always  wanted  to  do.  And 
he  believes  that  the  highest  form  of  re- 
ward possible  for  any  work  is  the  satis- 
faction of  your  own  creative  instinct,  the 
knowledge  of  your  own  fulfillment.  He 
has  his  finger  on  the  human  pulse  and 
counts  the  beat. 


LOCHINVAR   UP-TO-DATE 
B\'  Sophie  E.  Redford 

Young  Lochy,  ballooning,  came  out  of  the  fog 

In  his  Q-23 — he  was  flying  incog; 

He  had  smiled  all  the  way  thru  a  forty-mile 

gale, 
.\s  he  thought  out  his  plan  and  hereby  hangs 

the  tale. 
For  a  chap  with  a  little  8-cyHnder  car 
Was  to  wed  the  fair  Helen  of  Young  Lochin- 

var ! 
His  blimp  was  maneuvering  90  an  hour. 
For  his  gondolas  carried  800  horse-power, 
But  he  slacked  his  propellers  when  coming  in 

view 
Of  the  home  of  fair  Helen  on  Fifth  Avenue. 
He  circled  the  heavens  above  her  and  poof  1 
Landed  softly  on  top  of  her  old  daddy's  roof. 
He  slipped  down  the  fire  escape,  not  to  alarm 
The  guests  at  the  wedding— he  meant  them  no 

harm — 
But  had  he  been  found  there  without  an  ex- 
cuse 
They  might   have   mistaken   the   .^ce    for   the 

deuce ! 
He  looked  at  the  crowd  as  he  sat  on  his  perch, 
.\nd  just  as  they  started  to  go  to  the  church. 
He   jumped  thru   the  window   and  picked   up 

the  brid.' 
.And    carried    her    out    with    a    strong    manly 

stride. 
The    bridegroom    right    after    him    hollcrini,' 

"Stop" ! 
.\.s  onward   they  scrambled  till   over  the   top. 
When  Lochinvar  handed  the  bridegroom,  alas  1 
.\  few  cubic  inches  of  hydrogen  gas! 
Then  buckling  a  belt  on  his  lady's  slim  waist. 
He  gave  her  a  coat  and  some  goggles  in  haste. 
For  her  relatives  hitherto  standing  aloof 
Were  now  on  their  way  I'li  faiiiillc  to  the  roof 
Anil  the  language  was  not  a  polite  paiies  vous 
That    was    heard    at    that    moment    on    Fifth 

Avenue.

withal. And,  oh,  boy,  that's  necessary. 

JosRPH  W.— No,  I  didn't  mind  the  cold 
weather  this  winter.  Had  all  my  furs  out,  and 
I  was  comfortable  in  my  hall  room.  Surely  1 
drink  buttermilk.  Vola  Vale  is  with  Metro  m 
Bert  l.ytell's  company.  Good  company,  too, 
I  haven't  the  name  of  "The  Kid"  in  "The  Girl 
from  Outside." 

Lucir.N  F.— Well,  if  a  man  contniually  makes 
a  fool  of  himself  it  does  not  follow  that  every 
clown  is  a  self-made  man.  Yes,  Babe  Ruth's 
pictures  are  being  shown.  Yes,  about  Pauline 
I'rederick.  First  two  on  the  coast,  the  others 
in  New  'Yoik.     Run  in  again,  Lucien. 

Richard  B.msthelmf.ss  Admirer. — Thanks, 
the  nijinner  of  the  giving  makes  the  real  value 
of  the  gift.  Well,  you  dont  want  much  of 
any.  You  know  Socrates  said  "He  who  has 
the  fewest  wants  is  nearest  to  the  gods.' 
Bryant  Washburn  is  playing  iii  "Too  Much 
Johnson."    Warren  Kerrigan  in  "Live  Sparks. 

Marguehite  McG.— Alice  Brady  is  playing 
in  "Forever  After"  and  also  on  the  screen. 

Doris  W.— Sessue  Hayakawa  is  about  31 
years  old.  Douglas  Fairbanks  has  been  in 
pictures  for  about  five  years.  Your  critic  re- 
minds me  of  the  eagle  who  "has  a  contempt  for 
all  other  birds."  The  owl,  however,  is  more 
contemptuous  still,  for  he  hoots  at  everything. 
Bessie  Barriscalc  is  playing  in  "Beckoning 
Roads." 

DoKOTHY  M.,  Brooklyn. — No,  we  never  pub- 
lished "The  Spite  Bride." 

ViRc.iNix  C. — You  want  interviews  with  the 
players  and  their  wives.  Fm  afraid  a  good 
many  of  them  would  prefer  not  to  have  their 
wives  present.  Your  ilhistration  reminds  me 
of  Lord  Bacon,  who,  when  he  went  driving 
in  the  rain,  would  remove  his  hat  to  let  the 
shower  come  upon  his  head,  and  say  that  he 
seemed  to  feel  the  spirit  of  the  universe  upon 
him.  Dorothy  Gish  and  Owen  Moore  in 
"Betty  of  Greystone." 

Edith  H. — Have  no  list  of  addresses  of 
players. 

Doris  K. — Why  didn't  \ou  sign  j-our  name 
and  address? 

Henry  H.  D.— No,  I  dont  know  whether 
Gloria  Swanson  can  speak  Polish.  I  have 
never  spoken  to  her  in  that  language.  01i\e 
Tell  is  with  Jans  Pictures,  Inc.,  729  7th  Ave., 
N.  Y.  C. 

June  C— Yes,  Viola  Dana  has  bobbed  hair. 
Yes,  we  have  to  have  them.  Fools  and  obstinate 
people  make  lawyers  rich.  And  knowledge  di- 
rects practice,  yet  practice  increases  knowledge, 
so  there  you  are.  Run  in  and  we  will  debate 
it  some  day. 

Leona  T. — My,  all  in  one  breath.  You  w^ant 
Nazimova  on  the  cover,  more  about  Zazu  Pitts, 
and  an  interview  with  Lila  Lee.  You  think 
Dorothy  Gish  is  great  in  comed\-.  and  Marie 
Provost  very  cute.  And  you  dont  like  Betty 
Blythe.  Yen  say  I  remind  you  of  a  mirror, 
because  I  reflect.  Most  gracious  lady,  I  thank 
you. 

Texas  Blue  B.— Well.  I'll  try  to  be  kind  to 
you.  Jack  Pickford  is  playing  with  Goldwyn. 
He  might  send  jon  his  picture  if  you  write 
him.    Yes,  I  thank  >'ou  for  the  fee. 

W.  J.  Wright. — Yes,  Louise  Lovely  is  still 
playing  opposite  William  Farnum.  Fox  Com- 
pany, Los  Angeles,  Cal.  1  didn't  care  for 
"V\'uigs  of  the  Morning."  Cant  say  that  I  liked 
her  in  it. 

Lois  C— Do  you  really  mean  that?  No,  I 
have  never  tried  a  fircless  cooker,  but  I  have 
had  lots  of  experience  with  a  cooliless  fire.  I 
prepare  a  good  many  of  my  meals.  You  want 
to  see  Grace  Cunard  back  again.  Grace,  the 
silversheet  is  paging  you.

Doris  B. — Surely  I  like  to  know  what  you 
think  of  these  magazines.  We'll  do  all  we  can 
to  give  you  what  you  want  Yes,  it  would  be 
a  much  different  world  if  we  were  as  dis- 
couraged with  ourselves  as  we  are  with  other 
people.  Oh.  of  course,  Harry  T.  Morey  is 
with  Vitagraph.  Very  much  so.  His  next 
picture  is  "The  Darkest  Hour,"  but  most  of 
Harry's  hours  are  bright.  You  know  he's  a 
star. 

Walt..\ce  Reid  Fan. — You  say  in  part,  "If 
you  are  really  79  years  old,  be  quick  about 
answering."  Yes,  child,  it's  vice  versa  now, 
the  old  must  dance  to  the  tune  of  the  young. 
Henry  Walthall  played  in  "Confession." 
Louise  Glaum  played  in  "The  Lone  Wolf's 
Daughter." 

Emil  G. — You  want  information  about  Ellen 
Cassidy.  Well,  she's  Irish,  and  she  has  a 
Catholic  name,  and  she  probably  likes  the 
color  of  green — particularly  on  payday. 

Oo  La  La. — Wee,  wee.  Why.  Famous 
Players  have  bought  "Aphrodite,"  now  playing 
in  New  York,  and  in  which  Dorothy  Dalton 
is  making  a  hit.  It  will  be  produced  in  pic- 
tures soon.  Louise  Lovely  is  with  Fox.  No. 
I  dont  use  a  cane — only  the  infirm  and  aged 
do  that,  not  to  mention  dudes. 

Mixnehaha. — Why,  John  Burroughs  says 
that  animals  experience  grief  over  the  loss  of 
their  young,  but  not  over  the  death  of  a  mem- 
ber of  their  flock  or  tribe.  Death  itself  seems 
to  have  no  meaning  to  them.  Francis  Bush- 
man and  Beverly  Bayne  pla3'ed  in  "The  Master 
Thief"  in  Los  Angeles.  They  do  say  that 
Washington  seldom  smiled,  but  the  same  can- 
not be  said  of  Laugh-eyette. 

Millicent. — Hobart  Bosworth  is  the  star  in 
"Behind  the  Door,"  directed  by  Thomas  Ince. 
Louise  Glaum  fell  and  sprained  her  ankle 
when  making  the  final  scene  of  "Sex." 

Aphrodite. — Of  course  I  compose  on  the 
typewriter  and,  like  Kipling,  use  an  Under- 
wood. My  greatest  pleasure  in  life  is  to  rise 
early  and  oil  it.  I  can  do  better  on  this  ma- 
chine without  the  trouble  of  thought.  I  just 
start  something  at  the  first  line,  pull  open  the 
throttle  valve  and  go  for  a  walk  around  the 
park.  Wlien  I  come  back  I  find  an  answer  of 
any  desired  length  completed  and  the  machine 
flushed  and  happy  waiting  modestly  for  my 
applause.  Believe  that,  and  I'll  tell  you  an- 
other. Douglas  Fairbanks  in  "When  the 
Clouds  Roll  By."  Elaine  Hammerstein  in 
"Greater  Than  Fame." 

Mrs.  James  de  B. — Glad  to  hear  from  the 
mothers  as  well  as  the  children.  Shirley  Ma- 
son was  born  in  Brooklyn,  1901,  but  she  has 
lived  it  down.  She  has  brown  hair,  grey  eyes, 
and  plays  the  piano  beautifully.  No,  I  never 
boast  of  my  ancestors.  I  have  a  tree  around 
here  some  place.  But  it's  a  rather  sad  fact  that 
the  ancestors  of  a  great  many  men  who  boast 
of  their  coats-of-arms,  had  no  coats  to  either 
their  arms  or  their  backs.  You  mean  Mitchell 
Lewis  in  "The  First  of  His  People."  Come  in 
some  time,  and  I  will  be  glad  to  chat  wth  you. 

Thursa.  —  Dont  cry.  little  girl,  dont  cry. 
Washing  your  eyes  with  tears  may  be  discom- 
forting for  the  moment,  but  it  clears  the  vi- 
sion afterwards.  Delaware,  Alaska,  Nevada 
and  Wyoming  have  the  least  picture  theaters 
of  all  States  in  the  U.  S.  A. 

C.  K.  Y.  Fan. — Yours  was  more  of  a  letter 
to  the  editor,  but  I  like  to  hear  what  j'ou  have 
to  say  about  the  magazines.  Yes,  I  have 
heard  that  armistice,  like  divorce,  is  the  little 
period  a  la  mode,  between  two  marriages.  Get 
thee  behind  mc,  Satan. 

Miriam  H.  —  Your  wish  will  be  satisfied 
soon.  Richard  Barthelmess  has  been  inter- 
viewed. McAlpin  is  Scotch.  But  if  you  dont 
change  your  opinions  you  never  will  enlarge 
30ur  knowledge. 

Jackie.  —  Betty  Blythe  was  born  in  Los 
Angeles,  1893.  She  has  dark  hair  and  com- 
plexion, weighs  145,  5  ft.  8^  ins.  No,  I  have 
never  met  her.  Glad  to  hear  from  you ;  write 
some  more. 

Two,  TO,  TOO  Enthusiastic. — Address  Elsie 
Ferguson,  in  care  of  Paramount,  New  York 
City.  "Unpardonable  Sin"  has  been  released 
for  some  time  now.  The  maiden  name  of 
Mrs.  George  Washington  was  Martha  Dand- 
ridge.

Hcilh'wood,  Cal.  Let's  hear  from  you  again, 
M..nte. 

HizziE  Dot. — Yes,  and  a  drop  of  ink  wul 
ni  ikc  millions  think,  if  wisely  directed.  ^  Dor- 
,.th\  Dalton  and  William  Desmond  in  "A 
(.aniblc  in  Souls."  Speaking  of  suffrage,  did 
_\-oii  kmw  that  more  than  14.0011,000  women  in 
suffrage  states  will  be  privileged  to  vote  for 
President  next  year,  even  if  the  Federal  suf- 
frage amendment  is  not  carried?  I'm  out  of 
politics.  No.  I  dont  think  I  will  accept  the 
nomination  for  President.  But,  of  course,  if 
they  cant  find  anybody  else,  and  the  nomina- 
tion were  forced  upon  me,  I  might  ask  the 
editor  to  give  me  a  four  years'  vacation  and 
trv  it. 

C.  E.  C. — May  MacAvoy  in  "The  Woman 
Under  Oath."  You  write  a  clever  letter.  As 
somebody  has  said,  some  men  are  always  mak- 
ing spiteful  remarks  about  any  man  who  suc- 
ceeds. They  seem  to  vhink  the  door  of  success 
will  open  to  them  if  they  do  enough  knocking. 
Madame  Petrova  is  not  playing  in  pictures,  but 
she  is  the  most  popular  vaudeville  artist  in  the 
world. 

Robin  G.— Yes,  Richard  Barthelmess,  Griffith 
Studios,  Mamaroneck,  N.  Y.  You  say  he  was 
good  in  "Broken  Blossoms,"  but  wdioever  saw  a 
Chinaman  with  a  dimple  in  his  chin?  Shucks  I 
A  Chinaman  with  a  dimple  is  a  better  China- 
man. 

Jere  G. — Florence  Turner  has  been  making 
comedies  at  Universal  and  Maurice  Costello 
makes  occasional  appearances  at  Vitagraph. 

Henrv  K.  S. — I  doubt  whether  the  actresses 
you  mention  will  carry  on  a  correspondence 
with  you.  \''ou  know  they  work  all  day  the 
same  as  the  rest  of  us. 

Canada. — There  is  nothing  being  said  about 
Mary  Pickford  retiring  from  the  screen.  Come, 
you  must  not  think  that  of  Eugene  O'Brien. 

MiTZi  V. — That's  one  thing,  dont  believe  in 
rumors.  Theda  Bara  is  very  much  alive.  So 
you  noticed  a  careless  mistake  in  "Her  King- 
dom of  Dreams."  You  say  the  envelope  when 
handed  to  Miss  W^arren  had  no  stamp  on  it, 
and  when  she  opened  it,  it  was  all  stamped, 
addressed  and  everything.  And  you  wish 
Nazimova  W'ould  give  up  smoking.  When  she 
sees  this  and  learns  your  desires  she  will  no 
doubt  promptly  desist. 

Poppy. — No,  Dorothy  Gish  does  not  w^ear  a 
wig  when  not  playing.  What  do  you  think  I 
am,  a  human  geography?  Texas  was  much 
larger  before  it  was  annexed  to  the  U.  S.  in 
1845.  Please  look  up  your  own  geography. 
You  advise  me  not  to  throw  my  old  gaiters  in 
the  back  alley  because  then  they  would  become 
alli-gators.  I  deny  the  allegation  and  defy  the 
alligator. 

Inquisitive. — Norma  Talmadge  was  born  in 
1897  at  Niagara  Falls.  She  has  brown  eyes,  is 
S  fe£t  2,  and  weighs  110.  Mrs.  Charlie  Chaplin 
in  "The  Inferior  Sex."  Ben  Wilson,  and  Neva 
Gerber  was  the  girl  in  "Alystery  Ship."  Why, 
I  should  say  the  reason  for  the  lack  of  de- 
velopment in  the  Alaskan  forests  is  because  of 
the  dampness.  Sit  down  and  write  me  again, 
Inquis,  and  I'll  do  my  best. 

A.  B.  C. — Touching  on  a  subject  of  which  I 
know  little,  but  the  name  "whiskey"  was  prob- 
ably derived  from  the  Celtic  "uisgebeatha" 
(water  of  life),  which  was  contracted  to 
"usquebaugh"  and  still  later  to  whiskey.  It's 
selling  for  $8.00  a  fifth,  and  try  and  get  it, 
even  for  that !  Zena  Keefe  in  "The  Woman 
God  Sent,"  a  Selznick. 

Tommy,  St.  Paul. — You  say  some  of  the 
players  have  shaky  reputations.  Who  said 
so?  In  order  to  preserve  an  unspotted  reputa- 
tion, you  have  got  to  look  out  that  nobody 
spots  you.  Everybody  is  free  to  give  his 
opinion  except  lawyers — they  sell  theirs.

Don't  take  the  wrong  turning  and  waste  your

Let  Me  Show  You  Nature's  Way 

I  don't  deal  in  drugs  and  dope.  My  life  has  been 
spent  in  studying  out  and  experimenting  with  the 
forces  that  Nature  has  implanted  in  every  human 
organism  for  the  eternal  betterment  of  the  human 
race.  No  more  wonderful  power  exists  In  all  the 
world  Every  physician  and  surgeon  depends  upon 
it;  without  the  aid  of  Nature  no  treatment,  no 
operation,  could  possibly  succeed. 

I  built  myself  up  into  the  strongest  man  In  the 
world  throush  Slrongfortism — Nature's  method  of 
Remaking  Men.  Thousands  of  strong,  able,  sue 
cessful  men,  former  pupils  of  mine, 
present  abounding  vitality,  and  the 
brought  them,  to  that  same  method, 
mine  right  now,  in  every  part  of  the  globe,  are 
regaining  each  day  the  vigor  and  vitality  they 
thought  was  lost    forever. 

Strongfortism 

Strongfortism  is  simply  a  system  of  Living  Life 
as  Nature  meant  it  to  be  lived;  of  taking  advantage 
to  thi^  utmost  of  the  wonderful  forces  she  constantly 
e\erts  toward  the  rebuilding  of  wasted  brain  and 
body  tissues  and  the  restoration  of  lost  vitality.

Gossip  of  the  Pacific  Coast 


By  FRITZI  REMONT 


Los  Angeles,  (Special). — It's  a  well- 
e.stablished  fact  that  when  any  one  wants 
to  raise  funds  for  charitable  purposes, 
the  motion  picture  field  is  combed  for 
cuties  first  of  all.  At  Clune's  Audito- 
rium, just  before  the  holidays,  the  Los 
Angeles  Examiner  arranged  a  monster 
benefit,  at  which  nearly  everybody  tried 
to  insert  a  bit,  with  the  effect  of  keeping 
us  out  of  bed  until  2  a.  m.  one  Sunday 
morning. 

Ren  Alexander  aroused  a  lot  of  amuse- 
ment bv  playing  director  behind  a  big 
camera,  with  Charlie  Murray  as  chief 
actor.  His  instructions,  coupled  with 
much  delightful  semaphoring  and  facial 
maneuvering,  made  one  of  the  hits  of  the 
evening.  The  genial  Mr.  Murray  had 
been  billed  to  tell  funny  stories,  but  in- 
troduced himself  by  .saying  that  he  knew 
more  "stag"  stories  than  any  other  sort 
and  that,  if  the  ladies  would  retire  from 
the  audience,  he  would  be  pleased  to 
entertain  the  men  folk. 

One  of  Cecil  De  Mille's  playlets  was 
produced  with  telling  effect,  Bebe  Dan- 
iels sang  lovely  ballads,  Mary  Miles  Min- 
ter  told  anecdotes  and — oh,  well,  what's 
the  use  ?  Everybody  was  there  and  saw 
and  conquered. 

Gloria  Swanson,  the  adored  of  many 
swains,  has  gone  and  done  it.  She  is  off 
on  her  honeymoon  with  Herbert  K.  Som- 
born,  who  is  with  Equity  Films  Corpora- 
tion. This  is  Miss  Swanson's  second 
venture,  altho  she  is  only  starting  to  tick 
off  her  twenties.  She  will  continue  her 
screen  career,  having  several  years'  con- 
tract with  Famous  Players-Lasky  Com- 
pany to  fulfil. 

Conrad  Nagel  is  starting  as  a  star  on 
the  same  lot,  doing  "The  Fighting 
Chance,"  Robert  W.  Chambers'  exciting 
novel,  under  Charles  Maigne,  who  has 
but  lately  arrived  also. 

'j'he  lot  at  Vine  and  Selma  streets, 
Hollywood,  looks  rather  lively,  with 
eleven  companies  working  hard.  Uncle 
George  Melford  is  now  a  feature  direc- 
tor, and  several  new  directors  have  been 
added  to  the  list,  among  those  being 
Thomas  Heffron,  who  is  megaphoning 
Major  Warwick  and  Lois  Wilson,  who 
is  making  her  first  appearance  opposite 
the  soldier-star.  Miss  Wilson  looks 
about  sixteen  now;  she  keeps  getting 
younger  and  prettier  and  is  one  of  the 
best-foved  girls  at  the  studio.  It  was 
just  about  two  days  before  Christmas,  a 
frightfully  warm  spell  that  we  had,  and 
Lois  was  sauntering  about,  packageT 
laden,  awfully  excited  over  the  exchange 
of  gifts.  She  wore  a  sheer  little  frock 
of  some  lace-trimmed  buff  material,  and 
was  made  up  for  the  afternoon  scenes 
with  the  Major. 

I  saw  Wanda  Hawley  in  a  blue  suit 
and  ditto  turban,  looking  exactly  like  one 
of  those  blonde  "Baby  Vamps"  the  stores 
are  selling  nowadays.  She  is  playing 
opposite  Br)'ant  Washburn  this  time,  in 
"Mrs.  Temple's  Telegram,"  which  James 
Cruze  is  directing. 


Stop  I 


We  cant.  We  haven't  a  minute 
to  spare.  We  are  trying  to  catch 
up.  We  have  to  make  up  for 
that  time  we  lost  in  taking  off 
that  tire,  punctured  by  the  print- 
ers' strike.  The  race  is  a  hot  one 
— it  looks  as  tho  we  might  be 
beaten,  but ■ 


Lool^l 


We  are  not  the  only  ones  upset 
by  punctures,  and  blow-outs,  and 
strikes,  and  things — and  the  race 
is  even  again — and 


Listen! 


We  have  an  idea !  We  are 
going  to  win  yet.  We  will  leave 
the  punctured  April  issue  of  The 
Motion  Picture  Classic  by 
the  roadside,  and  will  catch  up 
by  putting  out  an  April-May  is- 
sue! 

BIGGER  — BRIGHTER 
—BETTER  than  ever. 

Remember  the  date.  April 
15,  1920!  Wait  for  this  new 
novelty  number  which  will  fully 
compensate  you  in  every  way  for 
the  unavoidable  delay!

AlOTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC 

Ethel  Clayton  was  buying  Oregon 
holly  wreaths,  having  carefully  sorted 
thru  a  lot  of  spruce  and  pine  circlets, 
which  did  not  appeal  to  her  fastidious 
taste.  She's  done  "Young  Mrs.  Win- 
throp,"  under  Walter  I'Mmunds,  for- 
merly with  Connie  Talmadge,  and  will 
start  on  "A  Lady  in  Love" — and  Ethel  is 
— ^but  only  with  her  work. 

Mary  Anderson  planned  to  rememlier 
everybody  at  the  .Selig  studio  with  gifts 
— at  least  those  who  work  w  ith  her — and 
looked  engulfed  behind  piles  of  small 
boxes  and  strands  of  ribbons  looped  for 
safe-keeping  aljout  her  neck.  Mary  said 
that  she  wished  we  had  a  theater  like  the 
one  Seattle  boasts,  which  has  a  second- 
floor  ballroom  where  one  may  dance  to 
rest  one's  self  while  waiting  for  seats  in 
the  motion  picture  auditorium.  She  hates 
to  stand  in  line,  and  with  Los  .\ngeles 
crowded  to  the  bursting  point  with  tour- 
ists, one  cannot  get  a  seat  anywhere 
without  holding  down  a  bit  of  paving  on 
Broadway  for  an  hour  or  so  first. 

Mitchell  Leison,  the  wonderful  de- 
signer for  the  Famous  Players-Lasky 
studio,  whose  entrancing  gowns  for 
Gloria  Swanson  have  been  shown  on 
living  models  at  our  local  theaters  many 
times,  is  back  from  New  York,  where  he 
had  carte  blanche  for  the  buying  of  rare 
laces  and  materials.  Howard  Higgin, 
who  designs  the  luxurious  sets  used  by 
the  De  Milles,  has  also  returned  recently. 
He's  an  architect  as  well  as  connoisseur 
of  furniture  and  draperies,  china  and 
bric-a-brac,  so  it's  no  wonder  his  sets  are 
"chemically  pure"  in  every  respect. 

I  met  Irving  Cummings  sauntering  up 
Vine  Street  with  Junior,  who  is  surely  the 
image  of  his  Par — with  the  same  big 
brown  eyes  and  "sortacurly  lox,"  only 
Junior  is  hatless  and  his  fond  parent 
wears  a  giant  Stetson.  They  do  say 
that  Mrs.  Cummings  is  the  most  delight- 
ful woman  !  That  this  is  one  of  the  truly 
happy  marriages  in  Filmland.  It's  no 
wonder  Mr.  Cummings  had  the  top  but- 
ton of  his  sports  shirt  thrown  wide  to 
the  December  zephyrs,  for  any  man 
should  lie  chesty  over  a  handsome  infant 
like  Junior. 

Over  on  Wilshire  Boulevard,  I 
bumped  into  "Mother"  Sylvia  Ashton, 
who  was  dropping  in  on  the  Donald 
MacDonalds  for  afternoon  tea.  The  lat- 
ter have  just  bought  the  lot  next  to  their 
handsome  home,  and  Mrs.  MacDonald, 
artist  that  she  is,  has  designed  marvelous 
improvements,  for  the  garden  will  now 
be  double  size,  and  one  part  will  be  de- 
. voted  to  a  sunken  garden,  adjoining 
the  cute  Japanese  tea-garden,  where  so 
many  lovely  hours  have  been  spent  in 
entertaining  friends  with  the  only  amber 
beverage  now  available  in  Hollywood. 

William  Stowell.  whose  tragic  death 
cast  a  lot  of  gloom  over  the  photoplayers, 
left  seventeen  thousand  dollars,  his  only 
surviving  relative  being  an  elderly  aunt. 
Lillian  Leighton,  who  is  always  mother- 
ing some  one  on  the  screen,  is  still  taking 
care  of  Mr.  Stovvell's  birds,  books  and 
other  pets,  not  to  mention  the  treasures 
he  collected  in  the  last  few  years.     She

had  received  so  many  interesting  letters 
from  Mr.  Stovvell,  who  was  a  "great  big 
kid,"  they  all  tell  me,  very  good- 
hearted,  frank  and  unspoiled — and  it's 
been  almost  impossible  for  Miss  Leighton 
to  believe  that  he  really  wont  return  to 
claim  his  trinkets  and  pets. 

Colleen  Moore  has  been  suddenly  ele- 
vated to  sjiecial  honors,  and  is  doing  an 
eight-reel  feature,  the  biggest  thing  ever 
handed  out  to  that  bright  little  gossoon. 
I  met  her  shopping  for  a  chic  wardrobe, 
and  judging  by  the  wrinkle  on  her  pretty 
face,  she's  very  much  puzzled  about  her 
"trousseau." 

Miss  Moore  was  out  on  location  at  the 
celebrated  San  Juan  Capisf  ano  Mission, 
half-way  between  Los  Angeles  and  .San 
Diego,  and  sent  lots  of  snapshots  to  her 
studio  friends  from  that  interesting  re- 
sort. San  Juan  was  pretty  well  destroyed 
by  an  earthquake  in  1812,  and  only  part 
of  the  mission  has  been  restored,  altho 
the  beautiful  and  quaint  old  cloister  gar- 
den still  offers  splendid  "shots"  for  the 
camera. 

At  San  Francisco,  I  saw  a  preview  of 
the  first  Australian  film  offered  in  our 
markets,  and  many  were  the  Los  An- 
geles brokers  and  producers  who  had 
run  up  to  see  it. 

The  story  is  a  dialect  poem  by  C.  J. 
Dennis,  considered  the  greatest  writer  of 
dialect  poems  in  any  language  today. 
The  theme  rif  "The  .Sentimental  Bloke" 
is  simple,  but  it  is  .sympathetic,  allows  of 
much  legitimate  comedy  and  gives  charm- 
ing glimpses  of  Australian  scenery.  A 
flash-back  of  scenes  from  "Romeo  and 
Juliet,"  with  subtitles  in  verse  supposedly 
recited  by  "The  Bloke,"  is  one  of  the 
funniest  things  in  this  comedy. 

I  overheard  a  conversation  between 
two  iTien  later.  The  one  with  a  wealthy 
voice  and  a  rotund  personality  was  say- 
ing, "I  am  afraid  of  it ;  we're  not  strong 
for  dialect  stuff  in  the  LT.  S.  A.,  because 
we're  not  apt  to  understand  it." 

The  other  replied,  "I  dont  see  that  at 
all,  for  in  each  case  the  action  follows 
the  subtitle  in  dialect  so  closely  that  a 
man  must  be  an  ignoramus  not  to  catch 
the  drift  of  the  verse." 

The  first  answered,  "You're  talking 
from  the  standpoint  of  critic  and  news- 
paper man — Lm  talking  for  Lizzie  and 
.Sallie,  et  al.,  who  cant  even  read  ordi- 
nary English." 

Then  both  laughed  as  the  newspaper 
inan  recited  dramatically,  "  'Ow  I  ong- 
kored  for  'at  coot,  'at  barmy  goat  named 
Romeo !'  " 

Wilfred  Lucas  directed  the  photoplay, 
so  it's  with  a  good  deal  of  interest  that 
we  viewed  it,  at  all  events. 

A  party  of  Indian  princesses  and 
princes  visited  the  Lasky  studio,  and 
while  it's  not  unusual  to  have  foreign 
visitors,  these  excited  attention  because 
the  ladies  were  of  such  high  caste  that 
they  were  distinguished  by  having  dia- 
monds inset  in  their  noses,  one  on  either 
side.  I'^vidently  they  dont  have  gumshoe 
men  in  India  to  disturb  the  peace  of  mind 
of  the  young  ladies. 

A  queer  sight  presents  itself  at  Sixth 
and  Hill  streets,  former  home  of  the 
First    Methodist    Church,    and    a    good 


Shadowland 

"TTAe   ^iiCagazine   of   ^M^agazines" 

Vou  have  just  come  in  from  your  clay's 
work.  Vou  :ire  mentally  exhausted.  Life  is 
deadly  in  its  monotony,  and  you  flop  down 
in  a  chair  and  gaze  stupidly  at  the  blank 
wall  of  your  existence  before  you. 

Your  hand  gropes  idly  for  the  cigarcts 
or  pipe  (or  knitting).  It  touches  a  maga- 
zine. Half-despairingly,  you  pick  it  up 
with  the  faint  hope  that  your  mind  will 
be  distracted  for  a  moment.  In  the  arch 
of  Hght  coming  from  j-our  reading  lamp, 
you  stare  at  the  name — Sh.xdowland.  You 
repeat  it  slowl}-,  again  and  again,  in  a  sort 
of  lialf-whispcr.  Slowly  vague  thoughts 
begin  to  form  in  your  mind.  Half-devel- 
oped visions,  pictures  from  the  inside  world 
of  tlie  mind's  eye,  creep  into  your  memory. 
You  set  sail  for  the  Land  of  Romance,  that 
misty  Land  of  Long  Ago. 

Shadowland  —  Again  you  say  it  and 
shadow  pictures  appear  before  you.  You 
remember  the  long  evenings  before  the  fire- 
light when  you  were  a  child.  Y^ou  sat  on 
grandfather's  knee  and  gazed  fearfully  over 
his  shoulder  to  where  the  long,  grotesque 
shadows  towered  from  fluor  to  ceiling. 

You  remember  when  a  boy,  coming  home 
late  at  night  from  some  fellow-playmate's 
house,  across  the  empty  lots  which  looked 
so  threatening  and  full  of  mysterious 
shadows.  How  frightened  you  were,  yimr 
only  compaiiion  being  >-our  shadov.'  running 
alongside  of  you  and  causing  strange 
thuughts  and  terror  to  trouble  your  mind. 

You  remember  the  great  discovery  that 
two  shadows  could  be  one.  That  moon- 
light night  when,  holding  her  in  your  arms, 
you  saw  the  single  shadow  on  the  grass. 
You   sigh  with   regret — for  Shadowland   is 

Memory. 

*        *        * 

You  turn  the  pages  of  the  magazine  and, 
like  the  immortal  Alice,  j-ou  begin  at  the 
beginning,  go  on  to  the  end,  and  then  stop. 
Regret  leaves  you.  Y'our  mind  becomes  stim- 
ulated, for  Romance  is  with  you  still,  but 
in  another  form.  Your  pulse  quickens  at 
the  sight  of  so  much  Beauty — ^>'Our  sense 
of  humor  is  touched  by  the  wit  of  the 
writers,  and  your  mind  appreciates  the 
cleverness  of  the  articles.  You  become 
more  and  more  absorbed.  Fatigue  van- 
ishes; the  world  and  its  troubles  are  again 
worth  while,  and  you  are  content — for 
Slfidoii'land  is  Life! 

Fcbruarv  Shadowland  v:\\\  be  a  maga- 
zine de  luxe.  It  will  treat  vividly  of  the 
best  in  art,  the  stage,  screen,  music,  litera- 
ture and  kindred  arts.  It  will  have  the 
best  stories,  articles  and  interviews  that 
can  be  obtained.  Its  beauty  and  its  charm 
will  gladden  the  heart  of  everj'  member  of 
the  family.

many  of  the  former  church  members  are 
expressing  shocked  surprise. 

The  building  was  bought  by  Syd  Grau- 
mann  for  a  new  theater,  and  the  enter- 
prising advertiser  has  boarded  up  the 
stained  glass  windows  partially,  ditto  the 
big  carved  iiortals,  and  placed  his  adver- 
tising sign  across  the  edifice  announcing 
the  forthcoming  production  of  motion 
pictures  de  luxe  on  the  sacred  site.  But 
that's  not  the  worst  of  it,  for  fruit  ven- 
ders have  leased  the  "concession"  from 
Graumann,  enabling  them  to  display 
fruits  and  vegetables  on  the  steps  for- 
merly trod  by  pious  visitors,  and  so  for 
the  first  time  we're  seeing  a  twentieth 
century  version  of  "My  house  shall  be 
called  a  House  of  Prayer,  but  ye  have 
made  it  a  den  of  thieves  and  money- 
changers." Yet  it's  quite  in  line  with 
P.  T.  Barnum's  advice,  isn't  it? 

A  Doll's  Apartment

her  boudoir  is  to  be  an  antique  desk, 
lined — she  is  havirig  it  rdined — with  pur- 
ple leather,  and  before  which  she  will  sit 
to  write,  Turk-wise,  upon  a  mammoth 
cushion. 

All  about  there  were  pictures,  framed 
in  heavy  silver,  which  "Jack  gave  me," 
of  Jack  himself,  of  Olive  and  of  the  kid- 
die, besides  various  other  screen  lumi- 
naries. 

I  came  away  with  the  impression  of  a 
child  playing,  very  successfully,  at  being 
grown  up.  and  having  a  thoroly  good  time 
in  the  playing  .    .    .

decided  that  he  shall  finish  high  school 
and  go  thru  college  before  choosing  a 
career. 

"We  think  of  a  new  one  every  few 
days,  so  there  is  no  telling  what  he  will 
really  be  when  the  time  comes.  My 
brother  is  everything  to  me,"  and  Mar- 
jorie waxed  eloquent  in  his  praise.  "His 
fatherly  advice  guides  every  move  I 
make,  for  we  talk  over  all  my  personal 
and  business  affairs,  and  his  judgment  is 
wise  and  dependable.  He  is  growing  an 
inch  a  week  and  is  getting  so  dignified. 
He  is  struggling  to  learn  to  dance  now, 
and  we  have  the  greatest  fun  every  night, 
dancing  all  over  the  bungalow." 

So,  with  memories  of  a  happy  child- 
hood and  the  present  filled  with  glorious 
dreams  of  future  triumphs,  Marjorie 
Daw  is  fast  growing  up. 

After  being  with  her  an  afternoon  one 
realizes  that  what  we  most  love  in  her  is 
her  wholesome  joyousness,  which  sug- 
gests rose-gardens,  sunbeams  and  fairy 
fancies. 

FASCINATING  PHYLLIS 

By    B.\RB.ARA    HOLLIS 

Phyllis  is  false— she  is  fickle  and  frivolous; 
Phyllis  is  flighty— flirtatious,  forsooth; 
Phyllis  is  frank  —  ah,   yes,    frightfully,    fear- 
lessly; 
Fair  yet  so  faulty — I'm  speaking  the  truth. 

Phyllis  is  fathomless— fctchingly    fathomless; 
Phyllis  is  flippant   and    faithless    I    know ; 
Phyllis  is  foolishly  fond  of  philandering; 
Isn't  it  funny  I  love  Phyllis  so! 


She  Played  to  Lose! 

This  woman — so  soft — so  lovely — so 
exquisite  in  every  detail — so  out  of  place 
in  that  wild  gambling  hell — this  woman 
played  to  lose.  Across  the  gleaming  tables 
her  long  white  hands  pushed  the  crackling 
bills.  One  after  another  the  yellow  backed 
hundred  dollar  bills  passed  from  her 
golden  bag  to  the  dealer.  And  yet  she 
smiled  serene. 

How  she  got  there — why  she  was  there 
— how  she  got  away — it  all  makes  a  thrill- 
ing story — a  tale  with  not  one  mystery,  but 
three — and  it  has  been  told  by  to-day's 
master  of  detective  mystery — 

CRAIG  KENlSity

ARTHUR  B.M 

She AmeHcan  Conan  Voyle     ^K^ 

He  is  the  detective  genius  of  our  age.  He  has 
t.iken  science^science  that  stands  for  this  age — and 
allied  it  to  the  mystery  and  romance  of  detective  fic- 
tion.  Even  to  the  smallest  detail,  every 
bit  of  the  plot  is  worked  out  scientifically. 
For  nearly  ten  years,  America  has  been 
watching  his  Craig  Kennedy — marveling 
at  the  strange,  new.  startling  things  that 
detective  hero  would  unfold.  Such  plots — 
such  suspense — with  real  vivid  people 
moving  tlirough  the  maelstrom  of  life! 
Frenchmen  have  mastered  the  art  of 
terror  stories.  English  writers  have 
thrilled  whole  nations  by  their  artful 
heroes.  Russian  ingenuity  has  fashioned 
wild  tales  of  mystery.  But  all  these  seem 
old-fashioned — out  of  date  beside  the  in- 
finite variety — the  weird  excitement  of 
Arthur    B.    Reeve's  tales.

know  about  your  hobbies — \\'hat  you  do 
outside  of  pictures." 

For  some  reason  he  seemed  much  em- 
barrassed. 

"I — er — oh,  I  ride  horseback,  and — do 
you  really  want  to  know  ?" 

Of  course,  I  did.  He  was  so  myste- 
rious about  it  I  thought  it  must  be  duel- 
ling or  moonshining. 

"I  play  poker!"'  he  confided,  in  a  stage 
whisper. 

"So  do  I !"  I  responded,  in  the  same 
tone,  and  we  shook  on  it. 

"I've  always  thought,"  he  added,  in 
hurried  confidence,  "that  my  fondness 
for  that  indoor  sport  was  responsible  for 
my  part  as  the  Mystic  Shrine  husband 
in  'Fair  and  Warmer.'  You  remember, 
he  was  a  poker  devotee." 

The  casting  director  tells  me  positively 
that  such  was  not  the  case.  But  far  be  it 
from  me  to  contradict  Pell  of  Pell 
Manor.

She  sank  down  upon  the  couch,  and 
one  slim  hand  patted  invitation  on  the 
damask  beside  her.  He  came,  hesitant, 
not  daring  to  hope,  sat  down,  white  with 
her  dear  nearness,  and  then  he  saw  that 
she  was  smiling  with  wet  eyes. 

"What  does  it  say  in  the  Scriptures," 
Margaret  murmured,  "what  does  it  say — 
about  loving — your  enemies?"

The  Ides  of 
March 


Beware  the  Ides  of  March, 
for  it  is  generally  considered  un- 
lucky. Beware  them  any  other 
year,  but  this  year  beware  lest 
you  forget  the  Ides  of  March, 
for  at  that  time  you  will  be  able 
to  purchase  at  the  newsstands — 
in  the  book-stores — on  the  train 
— and  in  the  thousand  and  one 
usual  places,  the  March-April 
number  of  Shadowl.'\ND,  "The 
Magazine  of  Magazines." 

You  see  the  reason  for  the 
hyphen  is,  we  will  be  unable  to 
issue  a  March  Number  of 
Shadowland,  because  we  are 
tired  of  being  behind  with  our 
schedule,  which  is  a  result  of  the 
recent  printers'  strike. 

However,  Know  All  Men  by 
These,  Presents:  That  on  or 
about  the  twenty-third  day  of 
March,  in  the  year  nineteen  hun- 
dred and  twenty,  there  will  be 
placed  for  sale  at  all  customary 
places,  a  March-April  issue  of 
Shadowland  Magazine — 
more  beautiful,  more  artistic, 
more  interesting  than  any  previ- 
ous number,  by  which  sale  we 
expect  to  repay  the  readers  of 
this  magazine  for  the  annoyance 
caused  by  the  necessary  omission 
of  the  March  issue. 

We  thank  you  for  your  kind-

knot  is  tied.  The  way  a  healthy  young 
chap  falls  beneath  the  spell  of  the 
madman  forms  an  unpleasant  vein 
running  thru  an  otherwise  high- 
spirited  comic  romance.  You  will  at 
least  sense  this  vaguely  when  you  see 
the  comedy. 

"Should  a  Woman  Tell?,"  (Metro),  is 
claptrap  melodrama  of  the  most  obvious 
sort,  dealing  with  one  of  those  super- 
innocent  cuties  who  is  wronged  by  a  rich 


TO  MARY  PICKFORD: 

It  would  not  be  quite  fair  to 
write  a  cold,  calm  criticism  of 
"Pollyanna."  Because  it  would  not 
tell  half  that  is  in  our  heart. 

'Way  back  in  the  minds  of  all  of 
us  are  dreams — the  dreams  we 
started  with,  the  dreams  that  came 
to  grief  when  we  encountered  life 
as  it  is.  You  have  the  ability — in- 
deed, we  should  say  genius — to  stir 
those  latent  memories,  to  sweep 
back  the  years,  to  give  us  faith 
again. 

How  well  you  have  succeeded  in 
"PoUyanrfa"' !  The  calm,  critical 
side  of  our  brain  tells  us  that  it  is 
a  sugar-coated  view  of  life  as  it 
isn't  and  never  was,  but  the  dream 
side  of  us  stirs  —  and  awakens. 
What,  then,  of  criticism?  You 
have  given  us  a  golden  flash  into 
something  intangible,  never  to  be 
attained  perhaps,  but  sacred,  far 
inside  our  hearts.  You  have  made 
us  forget  the  realities  of  today. 

If  we  ever  reach  the  point  where 
you  fail  to  touch  us,  Mary  Pick- 
ford,  we  will  know  that  our  ideals 
have  gone,  that  our  heart  is  empty, 
that  ashes  have  taken  the  place  of 
our  memories.     May  that  never  be  I 

We  know — our  critical  self  keeps 
repeating  it^that  you  never  did  a 
finer,  better  sustained  or  an  infinitely 
more  subtle  bit  of  playing  of  child- 
hood than  your  Pollyanna.  That 
the  tear  was  never  so  close  to  the 
smile.  But  it  is  the  soul  beneath 
this  histrionic  dexterity  that  we 
feel.  You  are  eternal  youth,  with 
its  dream  cities  of  high  hopes. 

We  need  you.  Mary  Pickford — 
and  more  "Pollyannas."

"Should  a  woman  tell?"  is  supposed  to 
be  the  problem  facing  the  cutie  when  she 
weds  a  very  upright  young  chap. 
"Should  a  Woman  Tell?"  is  exceedingly 
mediocre.  The  direction  is  uninspired, 
save  for  a  rather  well  done  shipwreck. 
The  one  redeeming  feature  is  the  rather

isn't  much  as  a  story,  but  it  is  vivified 
and  humanized  b)'  Charlie  Ray,  as  a 
young  machinist  who  saves  the  life  of 
liis  employer  and  is  rewarded  by  being 
adopted  into  the  family.  '  Then,  of 
course,  he  settles  a  feud  between  his 
foster  father  and  the  grandfather  of  his 
sweetheart.  Charles  Mailes  makes  this 
dour  old  Scotchman  stand  out  and 
Gladys  George  is  effective  as  his  daugh- 
ter. Ray  was  never  better  than  in  "Red 
Hot  Dollars."  What  a  vitally  real  per- 
son he  is ! 

"The  Beauty  Market,"  starring  the 
breathlessly  beautiful  Katherine  Mac- 
Donald,  is  another  story  wherein  tlie  so- 
ciety girl  of  fine  sensibilities  is  just  about 
to  sell  herself  in  matrimony  when  the 
rugged  chap  happens  along  and  teaches 
her  that  the  real  thing  is  "to  cook  and 
scrub  and  love."  Every  time  this  kind  of 
story  ends  we  experience  a  period  of 
worry  for  the  hero,  knowing  that  the  fair 
butterfly  heroine  is  going  to  become  an 
awful  flivver  as  a  cook.  But  one  should 
really  look  no  further  than  the  final  fade- 
out.  Miss  MacDonald  is  the  heroine, 
Roy  Stewart  is  the  strenuous  hero,  (and 
we  liked  and  disliked  him  in  alternating 
moments),  while  Kathleen  Kirkham 
gives  an  able — and  finely  subtle — per- 
formance of  a  weak  society  hanger-on. 

An  unpleasant  tinge  overhangs  "The 
Woman  in  the  Suitcase,"  (Paramount), 
Enid  Bennett's  latest  vehicle.  This  is 
due  to  the  story  itself,  revolving  around 
the  efforts  of  a  girl  of  refined  home  life 
who  tries  to  overcome  her  father's  secret 
weakness  for  a  very  blonde  young 
woman  by  meeting  the  v.  b.  y.  w.  in  her 
own  sordid  world.  At  the  same  time,  the 
story  holds  the  interest. 

Albert  Ray  and  Elinor  Fair  have  cer- 
tain possibilities,  but  they  are  not  strongly 
manifest  in  "Tin  Pan  Alley,"  (Fox). 
Briefly,  it  is  a  story  of  a  young  chap  who 
writes  a  song  hit  and  then  loses  his  head. 
The  photoplay  has  the  ustial  Fox  sub- 
titles; i.e.,  labored  attempts  at  humor. 
Still  worse  is  Peggy  Hyland's  "The 
Web  of  Chance,"  (Fox).  This  even 
has  the  unforgivable  fault  of  bad 
photograjjliy. 

"Haunting  Shadows,"  (Robertson-! 
Cole),  is  a  passable  visualization  of  Mere- 
dith Nicholson's  novel,  "The  House  of 
a  Thousand  Candles,"  of  a  lonely,  de- 
serted house,  hidden  treasure,  ghosts  and 
kindred  ingredients  of  callow  romance. 

Let  us  turn  for  the  moment  to  come- 
dies. Fatty  Arbuci^ic,  (Paramount), 
shows  a  decided  improvement.  His  "The 
Garage"  is  the  funniest  farce  of  the 
month.  Not  a  little  of  this  merit  is  due 
to  "Buster"  Keaton. 

Harold  Lloyd  has  been  slumping  a  bit. 
His  "From  Hand  to  Mouth"  and  "Cap- 
tain Kidd's .  Kids"  were  rather  weak. 
The  former  has  Bebe  Daniels'  successor, 
Mildred  Davis,  who  appears  pleasantly 
youthful  and  promising.  Mack  Sennett 
has  not  turned  out  a  brilliant  burlesque 
in  quite  some  time.  The  Sunshine  and 
Universal  comedies  continue  as  fearful 
as  of  yore.

Greatest  of  All  Popularity  Contests 

Unique     Competition     in     Which     the    Voters     Share     in     the     Prizes 


WHO  IS  THE  ONE  GREAT  STAR  OF  THE  SCREEN? 

Is  it  CHARLIE  CHAPLIN  or  ELSIE  FERGUSON? 

Is  it  RICHARD  BARTHELMESS  or  WILLIAM  S.  HART? 


Concerning  this  matter  there' is  great  difference  of  opinion.  Every  fan,  in  fact,  has  his  own  idol.  The  Wall 
street  broker  swears  by  MARY  PICKFORD ;  his  wife  thinks  TOM  MIX  is  the  best  actor  the  cinema  has 
produced;  the  office  bo)'  has  a  "crush"  on  THEDA  B.\RA  and  the  stenographer  collects  photographs  of 
DOUGLAS  FAIRBANKS. 

\Miat  do  you  think?  If  you  had  a  vote  would  you  give  it  to  NAZIMO\'A  or  to  LILLIAN  GISH?  Would 
you  vote  for  a  man  or  a  woman  or  for  little  BEN  ALEXANDER? 

Shadowland,  Motion  Picture  Magazine,  and  Motion  Picture  Classic — the  three  great  magazines  of  the 
Motion  Picture  world — have  decided  to  refer  this  question  to  their  readers  by  taking  a  popular,  world- 
wide vote.  In  regard  to  matters  concerning  the  stage  and  theater  their  audience  is  the  most  intelligent  and 
discerning;  the  most  wide-awake  and  well-informed  in  the  world  today.  If  any  picture  patrons  can  pick 
out  the  leading  star,  it  will  be  those  who  read  Shadowland,  the  Magazine  and  Classic. 

The  coupons  will  show  you  how  to  enter  your  own  name  and  the  name  of  your  favorite  player.  But  you 
may  vote  on  an  ordinary  sheet  of  paper  in  Class  Number  2  provided  you  make  the  ballot  the  same  size 
and  follow  the  wording  of  this  coupon.  We  prefer  the  printed  coupons  for  uniformity  and  convenience  in 
counting. 

There  will  be  prizes  for  voters  and  prizes  for  stars. 

Votes  registered  in  Class  Number  1  will  probably  be  cast  by  favor.  Votes  registered  in  Class  Number  2 
will  call  for  a  wide  knowledge  of  the  Motion  Picture  business,  keen  powers  of  perception  and  skill  at  de- 
tecting the  trend  of  popular  favor.     You  cannot  guess  the  winner  offhand.

PALMOLIVE 


e-Incarnation  of  Beauty 

"yUST  as  the  Egyptian  Princess  ul'  3.000  years  .if,o 
I   bequeathed  a  heritage  ot  beauty  to  the  modern  jiirl. 
<J  so  did  she  also  hand  down  knowledf'je  of  the  surest 
way  to  keep  it. 

She  knew  that  Palm  and  Olive  Oils  were  inild.bene- 
licial,  natural  cleansers,  as  soothing,  in  their  action  as  n 
lotion.  A  crude  combination  was  all  she  could  com- 
mand —  today  she  would  use  Palmolive. 

For  the  mild,  soothing,  profuse  lather  of  Palmolive 
soap,  so  smooth  and  creamy,  embodies  this  oldest 
beauty  secret. 

Palmolive  beautities  while  it  cleanses  because  it  contains  th*» 
same  rare  oils  used  as  both  cleanser  and  lotion  in  ancient  E^ypt. 

Palmolive  may  be  had  wherever  soap  is  sold  and  sup-

A  Stenographer's  Advice 
On  T)q3ewriter  Buying 

How  to  Save  $43 


THE  young  lady  who  suggested  this  advertisement 
convinced  the  writer  that  too  few  people  realize  that 
the  Ohver  Typewriter  has  the  usual  keyboard.  A 
definite  propaganda,  she  insisted,  had  been  spread  to  lead 
people  to  believe  that  the  arrangement  of  letters  on  the 
Oliver  keyboard  was  different,  and  therefore  difficult. 

This  advertisement  is  to  set  people  aright.  It  should 
be  understood  once  and  for  all  that  the  Oliver  has  the 
same  universal  arrangement  of  letters  as  on  all  standard 
typewriters.  And  it  has  improvements  and  simplifications 
not  found  elsewhere.  Several  hundred  thousand  stenog- 
raphers use  the  Oliver  daily. 

The  young  lady  brought  up  another  point.  She  said 
many  people  might  think  that  the  new  $57  Oliver  is  a 
second-hand  or  rebuilt  machine  of  an  earlier  model. 

But  note  that  this  advertisement  is  signed  by  The  Oliver 
Typewriter  Company  itself.  This  is  a  guarantee  that  the 
$57  Oliver  is  the  exact  model  formerly  priced  at  $100.  Not 
a  change  has  been  made.  It  is  a  new  machine.  The  latest 
product  of  our  factory. 

How  We  Both  Save 

The  entire  saving  of  $43  conies  from  our  new  sales 
methods. 

During  the  war  we  learned  that  it  was  unnecessary  to 
have  great  numbers  of  traveling  salesmen  and  numerous, 
expensive  branch  houses  throughout  the  country.  We 
were  also  able  to  discontinue  many  other  superfluous, 
costly  sales  methods.     You  benefit  by  these  savings. 

Among  the  Large  Users  Are 


Over  800,000  Olivers  have  been  sold.  It  is  used  by  the 
big  concerns,  as  hsted  below. 

This  Oliver  Nine  is  a  20-year  development.  If  any  type- 
writer is  worth  $100,  it  is  this,  our  latest  and  best  model. 


Free  Trial 


We  ship  an  Oliver  Nine  to  you  for  five  days  free  trial. 
If  you  decide  to  keep  it,  pay  us  at  the  rate  of  $3  per  month. 
If  you  return  it,  we  even  refund  the  transportation  charges. 
What  could  be  fairer,  simpler?  You  may  order  an  Oliver 
Nine  for  free  trial  direct  from  this  advertisement.  It  does 
not  place  you  under  the  slightest  obligation  to  keep  it. 

Used  machines  accepted  in  exchange  at  fair  valuation. 

Or,  you  may  ask  for  our  free  book  entitled,  "The  High 
Cost  of  Typewriters — The  Reason  and  the  Remedy."  This 
amazing  book  exposes  the  old  way  of  selling  and  tells 
where  the  $43  used  to  go. 

Read  the  two-way  coupon — then  mail  it  today.  Note 
how  simple  the  whole  plan  is — how  you  deal  direct  with 
the  manufacturer.

NOT  all  motion  pictures  are  good.    Neither 
are  all  books,  all  music,  all  paintmgs. 

You  have  to  use  judgment  in  selecting  your 
motion  picture  entertainment. 

Sounds  difficult.     But  it's  not. 

Just  make  sure  before  you  buy  your  ticket 
that  it's  a  Paramount  Picture. 

If  it  is — go  in!      It's  good. 


That's  the  secret  of  buying  your  motion 
picture  entertainment  right.  A  motion  picture 
can't  be  paramount  unless  it's — 'Paramount. 

The  name  Paramount  is  the  binding  guaran- 
tee personally  to  you  from  Famous  Players-Lasky 
Corporation  that  the  picture  is  right. 

No  need  to  take  chances  when  you  can 
know   before  you  pay !

THE  GIRL  ON  THE  COVER 

(Painted  by  Leo  Sielkc,  Jr.,  from  a  copyright  photograph 
by  Lumicre.) 

An  appropriate  Easter  cover  girl  is  Dolores  Cassinelli, 
who  comes  from  Italy,  the  land  of  sunshine  and  flowers. 
Altho  she  was  born  in  Italy,  Miss  Cassinelli  was  brought 
to  this  country  at  an  early  age  and  she  is  really  a  typical 
American  girl. 

A  singer  of  no  mean  ability  and  an  accomplished  musician.  Miss  Cas- 
sinelli is  a  screen  star  of  unusual  attainments.     She  has  been  popular  in  the 
films  since  the   days  of   Essanay.

Stage  Plays  That  Are  Worth  While 

(R''adi-rs  in  distant  towns  ivill  do  well  to  frcscrt'c  this  list  for  reference  when  these  spoken 
plays  appear  in  their  vicinity,) 


Astor. — i'"ay  Bainter  in  "East  Is  West." 
The  story  of  a  quaint  little  Chinese  maid  who 
falls  in  love  with  a  yonng  American.  Racial 
barriers  seem  insiirmoinitable,  but  there  is  a 
happy  and  surprising  ending.  Has  all  the  in- 
gredients of  popular  drama. 

Booth. — "The  Purple  Mask."  with  Leo  Dit- 
richstein.  A  stirring,  romantic  melodrama  of 
the  days  of  the  First  Consulate  in  France ; 
tense,  colorful  and  highly  interesting.  One  of 
the  best  evening's  entertainments  in  New  York. 
Mr.  Ditrichstein  is  delightful  as  the  royalist 
brigand,  the  Purple  Mask ;  Brandon  Tynan  is 
admirable  as  the  republican  police  agent,  Bris- 
quet;  Lily  Cahill  is  a  charming  heroine,  and 
Boots  Wooster  makes  her  bit  of  a  peasant  girl 
stand  out. 

Broadhnrst. — "Smilin'  Through,"  with  Jane 
Cowl.  An  odd,  but  effective,  drama  •which  pur- 
ports to  show  how  those  who  have  gone  before 
influence  and  watch  over  our  lives.  Miss  Cowl 
is  exceedingly  good  as  a  piquant  Irish  girl  and 
also  as  a  spirit  maid  whose  death  occurred 
fifty  years  before.  "Smilin'  Through"  will 
evoke  your  smiles  and  tears. 

Casino. — "The  Little  Whopper."  Lively 
and  amusing  musical  comedy  with  tuneful 
score  by  Rudolf  Friml.  Vivienne  Segal 
pleasantly  heads  the  cast,  which  also  num- 
bers Harry  C.  Browne,  who  does  excellent 
w^ork,  Mildred  Richardson  and  W.  J.  Fergu- 
son. 

Central. — "As  You  Were,"  with  Irene  Bor- 
doni  and  Sam  Bernard.  A  delightful  musical 
show  in  which  Miss  Bordoni  dazzles  as  the 
various  sirens  of  history.  Pleasant  music  and 
a  pleasant  chorus  lend  effective  aid. 

Cort. — "Abraham  Lincoln."  You  should  see 
this  if  3'ou  see  nothing  else  on  the  New  York 
stage.  John  Drinkwater's  play  is  a  noteworthy 
literary  and  dramatic  achievement,  for  he 
makes  the  Great  American  live  again.  "Abra- 
ham Lincoln"  cannot  fail  to  make  you  a  better 
American.  Moreover,  it  is  absorbing  as  a  play. 
Frank  McGlyn,  a  discovery,  is  a  brilliant  Lin- 
coln. 

Comedy. — "My  Lady  Friends."  Highly 
amusing  entertainment  adapted  from  a  Conti- 
nental farce.  Much  of  the  humor  is  due  to  the 
able  work  of  Clifton  Crawford  in  the  role  of 
the  guileless  young  publisher  of  Bibles  whose 
efforts  to  spend  money  get  him  into  all  sorts 
of  difficulties.  June  Walker  scores  in  Mr. 
Crawford's  support. 

Century. — "Aphrodite."  Highly  colored  and 
lavish  presentation  of  a  drama  based  upon 
Pierre  Louys'  exotic  novel  of  ancient  Alex- 
andria. Superbly  staged  adaptation  of  the 
play  that  caused  a  sensation  in  Paris.  Dorothy 
Daiton,  the  screen  star,  returns  to  the  stage  in 
the  principal  role  of  the  Galilean  courtesan, 
Chrysis,  and  scores.  McKay  Morris  is  admir- 
able in  the  principal  male  role. 

Eltinge. — "Breakfast  in  Bed,"  with  Florence 
Moore.  A  rather  amusing  farce  satirizing  the 
movies  with  vaudeville's  lady  clown.  Miss 
Moore,  working  very  hard  to  put  it  over. 

Empire. — "Declassee,"  with  Ethel  Barry- 
more.  One  of  the  big  things  of  the  dramatic 
season  is  this  clever  play  by  Zoe  Akins. 
Whether  or  not  it  has  the  basis  of  truth,  it  is 
brilliantly  written  and  is  well  played  by  Miss 
Barrymore. 

Forty-fourth  Street. — "Look  Who's  Here," 
with  Cecil  Lean,  A  passable  musical  enter- 
tainment that  entertains  when  Mr.  Lean  and 
Cleo  Ma>'field  hold  the  center  of  the  stage. 

Globe. — "Apple  Blossoms."  The  ambitious 
and  much  heralded  operetta  of  Fritz  Kreisler 
and  Victor  Jacobi  plus  colorful  Joseph  Urban 
settings.  An  ofTering  far  above  the  musical 
average.  John  Oiarles  Thomas  sings  admir- 
ably, Wilda  Bennett  is  an  attractive  heroine 
and  Florence  Shirley  lends  a  piquant  person- 
ality to  the  proceedings. 

Harris. — "Wedding  Bells."  A  bright  and 
highly  amusing  comedy  by  Salisbury  Field. 
Admirably  written  and  charmingly  played  by 
Margaret  Lawrence  and  Wallace  Eddinger. 
One  of  the  things  you  should  see. 

Hippodrome. — "Happy     Days."       Big     and 


spectacular  production  typical  of  the  Hippo- 
drome. The  diving  girls  are  again  a  feature, 
disporting  in  the  huge  "Hip"  tank. 

Hudson. — "Clarence,"  Booth  Tarkington's 
delightful  comedy,  built  about  the  way  a  re- 
turned soldier  reunited  a  disturbed  but  typic- 
ally American  household.  Superb  perform- 
ances by  Alfred  Lunt,  Glenn  Hunter  and 
Helen  Hayes  give  the  comedy  a  iine  verve. 

Knickerbocker. — "Shavings."  A  pleasant 
bucolic  entertainment  based  upon  Joseph  C. 
Lincoln's  familiar  Cape  Cod  stories.  Harry 
Beiesford  is  featured  in  a  gentle,  whimsical 
characterization. 

Maxine  Elliott's.— "The  Cat  Bird,"  with 
John  Drew.  A  leisurely  little  play  by  Rupert 
Hughes,  dealing  with  an  elderly  ecologist  who 
straightens  out  the  romances  of  several  people 
according  to  the  principles  derived  from  his 
studies  among  the  flowers  vnd  insects.  Mr. 
Drew  returns  to  the  New  York  stage  after 
an  absence  of  two  years  as  the  ecologist,  A 
suave  evening's  pmusement. 

Morosco. — "Sacred  and  Profane  Love,"  with 
Elsie  Ferguson.  An  absorbing — if  loosely  con- 
ceived— drama  by  Arnold  Bennett  which  marks 
the  return  of  Miss  Ferguson  to  the  speaking 
stage.  It  is  the  story  of  the  remarkable  love  of 
a  keenly  mental  authoress  for  a  musical  genius 
who  slips  into  the  slough  of  drugs.  Miss 
Ferguson  has  many  admirable  moments  and 
Jose  Ruben  contributes  some  brilliant  playing 
as  tha  drug  wreck. 

Nora  Bayes. — "My  Golden  Girl."  A  pass- 
able musical  entertainment  with  a  score  by 
Victor  Herbert.  A  chorus  girl,  Jeannette 
Dietrich,  scores  the  hit  of  the  show. 

Thirty-ninth  Street  Theater.  —  "Scandal," 
Cosmo  Hamilton's  daring  drama  which  Con- 
stance Talmadge  played  on  the  screen.  Fran- 
cine  Larrimore  and  Charles  Cherry  have  the 
leading  roles  in  the  excellent  footlight  pro- 
duction. 

Winter  Garden. — "The  Passing  Show  of 
1919."  A  typical  girly  garden  show  in  which 
the  famous  runway  gets  plenty  of  use.  The 
revue  presents  a  number  of  travesties  upon, 
current  attractions,  particularly  colorful  being 
that  of  "The  Jest,"  with  Charles  Winninger 
doing  a  clever  burlesque  of  Lionel  Barrymore. 


ON  TOUR 

"The  Frivolities  of  ig20." — G.  M.  (Broncho- 
Billy)  Anderson's  girl  revue.  Lively,  speedy 
musical  show  with  a  large  measure  of  vul- 
garity, but  (many  pretty  girls.  The  cast  in- 
cludes the  Kouns  Sisters,  Henry  Lewis  and  the 
beautiful  Doris  Lloyd. 

"Atianys  You." — A  typical  Hammerslein 
musical  show  with  Irene  Franklin,  the  bril- 
liant mistress  of  the  character  song,  and  Ralph 
Herz  featured. 

"One  Kight  in  Rome.'' — With  Laurette  Tay- 
lor. J.  Hartley  Manners  has  furnished  his 
wife  with  a  colorful  and  picturesque  char- 
acter of  a  de  hi.ce  fortune  teller  in  "One  Night 
in  Rome."  The  play  itself  is  but  a  pallid  melo- 
dramatic background  for  the  big  role.  This, 
however,  is  so  vividly  written  and  so  vividly 
played  that  it  lifts  "One  Night  in  Rome"  into 
the  ultra-interesting  class. 

''The  Royal  Vagabond." — A  Cohanized  opera 
comique  in  every  sense  of  the  words.  A  tune- 
ful operetta  plus  Cohan  speed,  pep  and  brash 
American  humor.    Also  tinkling  music. 

"The  Girl  in  the  Limousine." — A  decidedly 
daring  boudoir  farce  by  Wilson  Collison  and 
Avery  Hopwood,  in  which  a  pink  and  white 
bed  is  invaded  by  every  member  of  the  cast 
during  the  progress  of  the  evening.  '  John 
Cumberland  is  very  funny  and  Doris  Kenyon. 
fresh  from  the  screen,  is  both  pretty  and 
pleasant  as  the  heroine. 

"Civilian  Clothes." — A  delightful  comedy  to 
please  everj-body.  Brand  new  idea  and  clev- 
erly worked  out.  Thurston  Hall  in  the  title 
role  shares  the  honors  with  beautiful  Olive 
Tell.     Support  excellent.

Learn  To  Talk  Convincingly 

— and  the  Ubrld  is  at  Your  Feet 


WHY  can  one  man  sell  where  an- 
other fails?  \Vh\-  can  one  man 
literally  carry  an  andience  off  its  feet, 
while  another,  speaking  on  the  same  sub- 
ject, makes  little  or  no  impression?  Why 
can  one  man  get  the  sought-after  job 
when  another  better  qualified  is  turned 
down?    Why  does  everyone  "believe  in" 


All  interesting  and  coiti/iiiciiig 
talker  is  popular — the  center  of 
attraction   at  a- 1  social  affairs. 

one  man  and  have  no  confidence  in  an- 
other who  really  has  just  as  much  ability  ? 
The  thing  that  counts  is 

Not  Only  WHAT  You  Say 

But  HOW  You  Say  It 

The  world  is  full  of  splendid  merchan- 
dise that  doesn't  move — "order  takers" 
who  should  be  salesmen — political  ideas 
that  meet  continual  defeat — good  men 
earning  less,  much  less,  than  they're 
worth ;  all  because  so  few  know  how  to 
use  that  God-given  faculty  of  speech 
which  is  one  of  man's  greatest  weapons. 

Let  Me  Teach  You 

I  can  teach  you  how  to  carry  convic- 
tion— how  to  make  what  you  say  have 


_Lllll!fi- 


CAN  YOU  DO  THIS? 


Can  you  talk  as  well 
in    public    as   at   home? 

Can  you  get  finan- 
cial backing  when  you 
want   it? 

Can  you  win  confi- 
dence, friendship,  love 
through     your    speech? 

Can  you  make  people 
listen    when    you    talk? 


Can  you  hold  your 
hearers    spell-bound? 

Can  you  give  humor- 
ous, extemporaneous 
talks? 

Can  you  address  any 
size  audience  from  one 
to  thousands? 

Can  you  get  up  and 
talk,  any  time,  any  place, 
without  nervousness? 


I  can  show  you  how  to  answer  com- 
plaints, how  to  ask  the  bank  for  a  loan, 
how  to  ask  for  an  extension  on  your  note. 
Another  valuable  lesson  I  teach  is  how — 
instead  of  antagonizing  people  when  they 
disagree  with  you,  you  may  swing  them 
around  to  your  way  of  thinking  in  a  pleas- 
ant sort  of  way.  You  will  learn  the  best  way 
to  get  things  done — the  secrets  of  diplomacy. 

Results  in  One  Evening 

Now  one  of  the  remarkable  things  about 
my  method  is  that  it  requires  little  study 
and  time. 


Atnoitg  strangers  or  at  home 
people  listen  eagerly. 

Nearly  anyone  can  grasp  the  principles 
in  an  evening.  Hundreds  of  letters  pour 
in  every  day  proving  that  my  method 
brings  almost  immediate  results. 

Thousands  Have  Benefitted 

Among  the  enthusiastic  students  of  my 
Course  are  thousands  of  prominent  men 
in  all  walks  of  life— they  include  business 
men,  preachers,  lawyers,  teachers,  phy-

If  your  uiinis  cuiiy  cuiii'iction  you  can 
irtfliicitcc   a   crowd   to   think  as  yon   do. 

che  efifect  you  want  it  to,  whether  you 
talk  to  sell,  to  convince  or  to  entertain. 
I  can  enable  you  to  overcome  timidity — 
give  you  confidence  in  yourself,  develop 
your  personality,  improve  your  memory. 
I  c.in  show  you  the  art  of  brevity,  the 
value  of  silence.  Instead  of  being  funny 
at  the  wrong  time,  I  can  suggest  when 
and  how  to  use  humor  with  telling  effect. 
Do  you  know  the  knack  of  making  oral 
reports  to  superiors?  Do  you  know  the 
right  and  wrong  way  of  presenting  com- 
plaints, estimates,  and  to  issue  orders?

The  ability  to  talk  cuin-incifiyty  will 
win  over  prominent  men.  It  is 
one  of  the  secrets  of  closing  big  deals. 

that  you  will  see  its  possibilities  that 
they  are  willing  to  send  it  to  you  for 
free  examination. 


Personal 
Experiences : 

"...  The  very  day 
after  examining  'Mastery  of 
Speech,'  I  had  the  confi- 
dence to  go  up  and  ask  my 
superintendent  for  a  trans- 
fer on  the  planers  .  .  . 
And,  to  ray  surprise,  he 
gave  it  to  me.  I  had  for 
months  been  wanting  this 
change,  but  didn't  have  the 
confidence  until  your 
Course  pointed  out  the  easy 
way  to  talk  to  your  'Su- 
perior.' That  is  only  one 
incident  where  your  Course 
was  of  value." 
RALPH      L.     LEONARD, 

40  Bridge  St.,  Beverly, 

Mass.' 

"After  a  careful  perusal 
of  the  Course,  I  am  con- 
vinced that  correct  speech 
is  the  largest  contribution 
to  a  man's  success,  and  that 
honest  application  to  the 
study  of  this  Course  will 
produce  the  desired  per- 
fection in  speech." 
H.  W.  GROSS. 

1802    W.    Mansur    St., 
Guthrie,  Okla. 

"I  have  had  the  Course 
only  a  few  days,  but  have 
already  noted  considerable 
improvement  in  speech  and 
in  ability  to  please  and  en- 
tertain persons  I'm  asso- 
ciated with.  I  am  much 
pleased  with  it."

A  Wife  Too  Many 

Into  the  hotel  lobby  walked  a  beautiful 
woman  nnd  a  distinguished  man.  Little  in- 
deed did  the  gay  and  gallant  crowd  know 
that  around  these  heads  there  flew  stories  of 
terror  —  of  murder  —  and  treason  —  that  on 
their  entrance  half  a  dozen  detectives  sprang 
up  from  different  parts  of  the  place. 

Because  of  them  the  lights  of  the  War  De- 
partment in  Washington  blazed  far  into  the 
night.  With  their  fate  was  wound  the 
tragedy  of  a  broken  marriage,  of  a  fortune 
lost,  of  a  nation  betrayed. 

It  is  a  wonderful  story  with  the  kind  of 
mystery  that  jou  will  sit  up  nights  trying  to 
fathom.  It  is  just  one  of  the  stories  fash- 
:oncd  by  that  master  of  mystery

He  is  the  detective  genius  of  our  age.  He 
has    taken    science — science    that 

'  stands  for  this  age — and  allied  it 
to  the  mystery  and  romance  of 
detective  fiction.  Even  to  the 
smallest   detail,    every   bit    of   the 

\  plot  is  worked  out  scientifically. 
For  nearly  ten  years,  America

Stage  Plays  That  Are  Worth  While 

iContinucd  from  page  6) 

"Nightie  Night." — Described  by  the  program 
as  a  "wide  awake  *  farce,"  "Nightie  Night" 
lives  up  to  its  billing.  It  has  plenty  of  verve, 
ginger  and  some  daring.  There  are  scores  of 
laughs.  Heading  the  very  adequate  cast  are 
Francis  liyrne,  Suzanne  Willa,  Malcolm  Dun- 
can and  Dorothy  Mortimer. 

"The  Magic  Melody." — A  "romantic  musi"'' 
play"  with  a  tuneful  score  and  a  picturesque 
Willy  Pogany  setting.  Charles  Pnrccll,  Julia 
Dean,  Earl  Benham  and  Carmel  Myers,  the 
last  two  well  known  to  the  screen,  head  the 
cast. 

Ehie  Janis  and  "her  gang/'— lAvely  enter- 
tainment built  about  the  experiences  of  the 
A.  E.  F.  on  the  other  side.  Well  put  together 
by  Miss  Janis,  who  shines  w^ith  decided  bright- 
ness.    A  pleasant  entertainment. 

E.  H.  Soihcrn  and  Julia  Marlowe  in  Shake- 
spearean repertoire. — These  artists  represent 
ihe  best  traditions  of  our  theater  and  their 
revivals  of  "Twelfth  Night."  "Hamlet,"  and 
"The  Taming  of  the  Shrew"  are  distinguished 
in  every  sense  of  the  word. 

"See-Sazv." — A  pleasant  musical  entertain- 
ment.    Dorothy  Mackaye  is  pleasantly  cast. 

"The  Better  'Ole." — The  Coburn  production 
of  the  musical  comedy  based  upon  Bruce 
Bairnsfather's  now  immortal  cartoon  creation, 
Old  Bill.  Mr.  Coburn's  characterization  of 
Bill  is  still  as  remarkable  as  ever. 

"A  Lonely  Romeo." — With  Lew  Fields.  A 
light  show  running  in  the  usual  groove.  Fran- 
ces Cameron,  who  is  developing  remarkably, 
is  the  bright  figure  of  "A  Lonely  Romeo," 
while  Mr.  Fields  is  his  humorous  self.  There's 
a  decidedly  funny  scene  in  a  men's  hat  shop. 
Chit  Chin  Chow." — An  opulent  and  beauti- 
ful musical  extravaganza  based  upon  the 
Arabian  Nights  tale  of  AH  Baba  and  the  Forty 
Thieves.  Dazzling  series  of  sensuous  stage 
pictures.  "Chu  Chin  Chow"  is  presented  this 
year  with  an  entirely  new  edition  and  new  cos- 
tumes. Marjorie  Wood  makes  a  colorful 
desert  woman,  Lionel  Braham  is  very  effective 
as  the  robber  sheik  and  Eugene  Cowles  makes 
the  role  of  steward  stand  out.  George  Rosely 
plays  the  young  lover  admirably. 

"La  La  Lucille." — Musical  comedy  built 
around  the  efforts  of  a  loving  couple  to  ar- 
range a  divorce  in  order  to  live  up  to  the 
terms  of  a  millionaire  aunt's  will.  A  co-re- 
spondent is  engaged  and  troubles  begin. 

"The  Shubcrl  Gaieties  of  1919." — A  lively 
revue  with  scores  of  statuesque  girls  and 
stunning  frocks.  A  decidedly  attractive  enter- 
tainment. 

"John  Ferguson." — A  vigorous  drama  that 
compares  favorably  with  anything  of  the  kind 
that  New  York  has  seen  for  years.  Beautifully 
staged  and  acted.  Masterpieces  of  this  kind 
should  be  liberally  patronized  to  encourage 
others. 

George  If'hite's  ".Scandals  of  igig." — All 
sorts  and  variations  of  dancing  make  up  for 
a  lack  of  story  or  humor.  The  real  star  is 
piquant  little  Ann  Pennington — as  seductive  a 
little  jazzer  as  ever  shimmied  on  Broadway. 
Then  there's  the  lively  dancing  of  Mr.  White 
himself. 

"Friendly  Enemies" — This  is  the  record- 
breaking  comedy  drama  of  last  season,  with 
Louis  Mann  in  his  original  role. 

"Three  Wise  Fools." — Austin  Strong's  hu- 
man little  drama  of  three  crusty  old  bachelors 
who  are  bequeathed  a  young  woman  and  who 
are  subsequently  rejuvenated.  Melodrama 
with  a  heart  throb.  Helen  Menken  gives  a 
striking  performance  of  the  ner\'e-racked  hero- 
ine, while  Claude  Gillingwater  is  a  delightfuHx 
testy  old  Teddy  Findley.

FLORENCE  VIDOR 

Miss  Vidor  bids  fair  to  achieve  new  honors 
in  the  forthcoming  production  of  her  hus- 
band, King  Vidor,  exponent  of  the  human, 
close-to-the-soil  photodrama.  Miss  —  or 
rather  Mrs. — Vidor  is  an  actress  of  singular 
attainments 


DOROTHY  DALTON 

Altho  Miss  Dalton  is  the  talk  of  New  York  in 
the  pagan  spectacle,  "Aphrodite,"  she  is  still  de- 
voting at  least  a  portion  of  her  interests  to  mo- 
tion pictures,  dividing  her  time  between  the 
theater    and   the   studio

In  the  center  is  a  snapshot  of  Mr.  Lasky  in 
conference  with  Cecil  de  Mille  and,  below, 
he  is  talking  things  over  with  Thomas  Ince 
and  Mr.  de  Mille.  Across  the  page  is  a 
glimpse  of  Mr.  Lasky  in  his  New  York 
office  and,  in  the  lower  corner,  discussing 
"The  Round-Up"  with  Roscoe  Arbuckle 


The  Pulse  of  the 
Photoplay  Public 


No  one  should  know  the  ]iiilse  of  the  motion  pic- 
ture imlilic  l)eltev  ihnii  Jesse  Lasky.  first  vice- 
president  of  the  I'"amous  I'layers-LasK-y  Cor- 
por.ition,  and  unc[U<.stionahly  one  of  the  cinema's 
biggest  powers. 

'i'he  iiliotopkiy,  as  deveU)i>cd  hy  the  Lasky  organi- 
zation, may  well  he  described  as  art  harnessed  to 
business.  The  screen  draiiia  i>  very  nearly  pro- 
duced according  to  a  mathematical  formula.  To 
make  picture  plays  in  this  tashion  one  must  know 
the  public  taste —and  know  it  accurately 

'lite  l'"amous  I'layers-Lasky  Corp(jratii)n  believes 
it  has  solved  this.  It  secures  regular  reports  from 
every  exhibitor  it  supiilies  with  picture  plays,  and 
these  reports  are  supposed  to  enibod)  the  opinions 
of  the  audience,  as  well  as  the  box-office  resuh. 

"The  real — the  \ital— de\elopment  of  the  photo- 
play," .says  Mr.  Lasky,  "is  the  steadily  increasing 
success   of   the   film   drama    which,   minus   a   star. 


scores  on  its  own  merit.  The  public  is  showing 
a  confidence  in  the  producer  or  director  un- 
heard of  two  years  ago.  For  instance,  consider 
the  presetit  drawing  power  of  Cecil  de  Mille. 

"There  are  several  distinct  trends  to  the  pho- 
toplay of  1920.  One  is  towards  comedy.  But, 
to  be  successful,  the  comedy,  however  light, 
must  have  a  theme — an  idea.  This  may  be 
almost  anything — the  high  cost  of  living,  the 
extravagance  of  modern  woman,  the  relation 
of  husband  and  wife — but  the  idea  must  be 
beneath  the  laugh.  'Twenty-three  and  a  Half 
Hours'  Leave'  was  an  interesting  example. 
Again,  the  fast-developing  popularity  of  Wal- 
lace Reid  in  comedies  of  this  type.  Reid  was 
always  more  or  less  a  favorite,  but  since  he  has 
turned  to  comedy,  he  has  developed  by  leaps 
and  bounds. 

"Again,  the  public  of  1920  will  now  accept 
the  drama  with  a  moral,  provided  it  is  enter- 
taining. Everywoman'  was  a  preachment,  but 
it  was  pleasant,  and  it  has  been  well  received 
across  country.

An  Interview  With  Jesse  L.  Lasi<y 

By   FREDERICK  JAMES  SMITH 


"Another  trend  is  the  extraordinary  success  of  a  fihn 
plav  like  'Hucklelicrry  Finn.  Tlie  jnilUic  wants  direct, 
human,  close-to-the-.so'il  stuff.  Tlierc  is  no  question  of 
that.  We  arc  so  certain  that  «c  liave  delegated  Wil- 
liam de  Mille  tcj  center  u])iin  this  style  of  ])roduction." 

Mr.  Laskv  turned  to  answer  tlie  telephone.  In  a 
two-minute  conversation  he  practically  engaged  a  new 
star.    Then  he  returned  to  our  interview. 

■'The  costume  play  of  other  days  is  still  out  of 
vogue  and  will  n(Jt  l)c  popular  for  tlie  next  few  years, 
if,  indeed,  it  ever  attains  jiojudarity.  This  can  be 
easily  explained  psychologically.  When  we  view  a 
silent  plav  wc  unconsciously  cast  ourselves  in  the  role 
of  the  heio  or  llie  henjine.  We  live  in  a  vital  age— an 
age  of  the  aeroplane,  the  automohile,  the  telegraph, 
the  wireless,  a  ]ieriod  of  tremendous  business  battles. 
Wlieii  wc  see  modern  plays  of  our  own  lime  ue  tlirow 
our>eKe-  into  the  drama  and  draw  inspiration  from 
it.  This  i.-  unconscious,  of  course,  but  thi>  exhilara- 
tion. thi>  in-'piration,  is  naturally  lacking  in  stories  of 
dead  and  parsed  times.'' 

Mr.  l.a-ky  paused.  And,  catching  our  breath, 
we  turned  the  subject  towards  the  actor. 


Mr.  Lasky  discusses  the 
popularity  of  the  close- 
to-the-earth  play,  the 
comedy  and  the  star- 
less production,  besides 
the  happy  ending  and 
other  things — as  re- 
flected by  the  theater 
box-office 


"The  trend  there,"  he  an- 
swered, "is  clearly  towards  the 
dramatic  man  or  woman  and 
away  from  the  becurled  ingenue. 
The  old-fashioned  ingenue  has 
passed.  No  one  can  ever  make 
another  Mary  Pickford.  Miss 
Pickford  was  the  exception. 
She  has  an  ability  amounting  to 

genius,  along  with  tremendous  technical  resources.  She 
is,  in  fact,  an  emotional  actress  with  the  exterior  of  an 
ingenue.  There  will  never  be  another  Mary  Pickford,  and 
any  one  who  attempts  to  produce  another  is  doomed  to 
failure." 

The  conversation  switched  back  to  the  photoplay  story. 
"The  sex  theme."  went  on  Mr.  Lasky,  "is  steadily  receiving

■■I  hope  .so,  but  it  must  be  a  far  away  day, 
for  I  am  too  much  intere.sted  in  my  work  to  let 
anvthing  interfere.  I  had  a  hard,  stiff  climb 
and  would  never  be  willing  to  give  up  until  I 
reach  the  heights.  Somehow.  I  do  not  believe 
that  careers  and  love  go  hand  in  hand,  both  are 
too  absorbing,  so  I  say,  please  let  love  stay  away 
from  me  for  a  while ! 

"Anyway,    I    am    not    thinking    about    such

hard  for  me  to  find  a  man  who  would  be

lead  in  the  Selznick 
production,  "Blind 
Youth" 


in  the  next  Selznick  picture,  'Blind 
Youth';  isn't  that  wonderful?"  and 
Leatrice  sighed,  rapturously.  "So 
many  beautiful  things  are  happen- 
ing and  every  one  is  so  lovely  to  me. 
I  believe  the  secret  of  it  all  is  that 
happiness  depends  on  our  own 
thoughts.  The  first  thing  I  say  to 
myself  every  morning  is  that  the 
day  is  beautiful  and  everything  and 
ever\bodv  in  it,  and  that  I  reflect  only  happiness  and  joy 
and  'contentment !  We  all  have  our  own  perfect  place  and 
nothing  can  take  it  from  us.  Why,  the  orange  blossom 
doesn't  fret  and  worrv,  fearing  that  the— the— the  water- 
melon will  usui-j)  its  p'lace!"  And  we  both  laughed  at  the 
simile,  even  while  grasping  the  tremendous  import  of  her 
sweet  thought. 

When  Leatrice  was  a  little  girl  down  in  the  big  house  m 
New  Orleans,  she  used  to  array  herself  in  her  mother's  hats 
and  pretty  dresses  and  play  "lady,"  before  the  mirror  in  the 
reception  hall,  and  so  the  first  desire  for  dramatic  work 
began  to  unfold. 

Une  morning  in  1916  she  read  in  the  paper  that  the  Nola 
Film  Companv  had  been  organized  in  New  Orleans  and  they 
wished  to  secure  a  native  daughter  for  their  leading  roles. 
Leatrice  decided  to  answer  the  advertisement.  The  test 
was  a  little  scene  in  which  she  was  to  weep.  That  very 
morning  she  had  received  a  letter  from  her  father,  who  was 
in  El  Paso  for  his  health,  and  with  this  in  her  mind,  the 
tears  came  readily  enough  and  she  put  a  touch  of  appealing 
pathos  into  her  a'cting  that  so  impressed  the  manager  that 
she  was  instantly  engaged.

THERE  was  a  time  when  Marshall  Neilan  belonged  to  a  sort 
of  club  which  was  called  by  the  others  working  in  a  cer- 
tain machine  shop  in  Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  "the  beer  squad." 

"We,"  he  said,  referring  to  "the  beer  squad,"  "used  to, work 
eleven  hours  a  day,  or  rather  a  night,  for  we  began  at  eight 
in  the  evening  and  worked  until  seven  the  next  morning.  You 
can  imagine  us  a.s  we  looked,  tired  and  grimy;  in  a  word,  all 
in,  But  just  as  sure  as  we  quit  work,  we  used  to  walk  to  our 
rooms,  fully  two  miles  sway.  And  why  do  you  think  we  did 
it?  To  buy  beer  with  the  nickel !  I  used  to  write  a  little  note 
for  myself" — he  was  only  fifteen  years  old  at  the  time — "'Please 
g^vc  this  boy  five  cents  worth  of  beer,'  and  sign  it  'Mrs. 
.'  "    He  looked  thoroly  amused  at  the  recollection. 

And  now  "Micky"  is  one  of  the  most  famous  directors  of 
moving  pictures  in  the  world.  Cause  and  effect?  Perhaps. 
In  order  to  be  really  great  one  must  be  really  human. 

If  a  man  has  never  known  "ups  and  downs" ;  if  he  has  kept, 
as  we  used  to  say  in  English  class  in  school,  the  even  tenor  of 
his  way,  then  his  work  must  necessarily  prove  as  calm  and 
comparatively  uninteresting  as  his  life. 

But  frequently  there  is  too  much  said  about  the  early 
struggles  of  the  successful.  One  is  likely  to  forget  that  as 
soon  as  they  are  over  with,  these  struggles  are,  as  a  rule,  a 
source  of  unlimited  material  and  endless  amusement. 


Marshall  Neilan  worked  his 
way  up  from  the  bottom.  At 
fifteen  he  worked  on  a  night 
shift  in  a  Buffalo  machine 
shop.  At  twenty  he  was  in  a 
Los  Angeles  stock  company. 
A  little  later  he  was  leading 
man  at  old  Olograph 


of  Clothesline  Alley,"  "Stella 
Maris,"  "Rebecca  of  Sunny- 
brook  Farm"  and  "Daddy  Long 
Legs,"  with  Mary  Pickford  as 
the  star;  "Mice  and  Men,"  in 
which  he  also  played  the  lead^ 
"Freckles";  "Hit-the-Trail 
Holliday" ;  and,  more  recently, 
"In  Old  Kentucky," 
with  Anita  Stewart. 
Weren't  they  all  char-

When 
"Micky" 
Walked 


Of  course,  any  one  who 
knows  Marshall  Neilan  will 
tell  you  that  he  can  find  some- 
thing amusing  about  almost 
anything  that  has  happened, 
is  happening  or  that  he  can 
imagine  as  happening  in  the 
future ! 

He  "kids"  all  the  time,  at 
the  studio  and  away  from  it, 
and  his  people  "kid"  back  at 
him  and  call  him  "Micky"  and 
apparently  all  but  worship 
him. 

Think  over  a  few  of  the 
pictures  you  have  seen  that 
were  made  under  his  direc- 
tion.    There  were  "Amarilly

director?      They    were,    and 
there  you  have  "Micky." 

No  wonder  that  he  doesn't 
have  to  walk  any  more !  Natu- 
rally, lie  has  a  handsome  car 
and,  if  he  wants  anything  to 
drink,  like  tea  or  orange-juice, 
(you  see,  the  times  have 
changed),  he  can  drive  to  the 
"Ship"  at  Venice  and  have  it 
more  expensively  than  any  in- 
experienced person  would 
think  possible. 

I  saw  him  in  his  office  at 
the  temporary  studio  of  the 
Marshall  Neilan  Productions, 
on  the  day  after  his  return 
to  Los  Angeles  from  Portland, 
Oregon,  where  he  had  gone 
with  the  purpose  of  shooting 
scenes  for  "The  River's  End." 


As  a  director,  "Micky" 
Neilan  has  tried  his 
hand  at  everything 
from  "Ham  and  Bud" 
comedies  up.  He  has  a 
remarkable  sense  of 
humor  and  "kids"  all 
the  time.  The  studio 
folk  "kid"  back — and 
every  one  worships 
"Micky" 


He    had    taken    his 
company    up    there 
with  the  intention  of 
staying    five    weeks, 
but   had   returned  al- 
most at  once,  without 
shooting  a  single  scene. 
"What    was    the 
trouble,"    I    asked, 
"the  weather?" 
"Yes;  it  started  to  rain  the 
day   we   got   there.     I   knew 
from  previous  experience  that 
it    would    probably    continue 
indefinitely,  so  I  decided  it  would  be 
best  for  us  to  come  back.    The  joke 
was  on  me.     We  received  a  report 
that  the  weather  had  cleared  the  day 
after  we  left!" 

Luck  like  that  would  have  given 
some    producers    an    awful    grouch. 
Neilan  laughed  and  lit  a  cigaret.

knowledge  teaches.  Her  tlear,  grey-blue  eyes 
search  you  wonderingly  when  she  is  jierple.xed,  and 
when  she  smiles  her  lips  part  like  two  petals  of  a 
rosebud  opening  in  the  sunlight. 

It  happened  that  when   I   saw  her  at  her  home  in  a 
fashionable  Hollywood  hostelry,  into  which  she  and  her 
family  were  just  moving,   Shirley  was  heartbroken  be- 
cause she,  i)erforcc,  had  to  take  her  dog  and  cat  to  the 
hosjiital    to    board.      The    hostelry    is    typically    Holly- 
wood ;  it  allows  no  cats  nor 
dogs,  altho  the  bars  have 
been   let   down   and   movie 
actors   are   i)erniitted   resi- 
dence. 

"That's  just  it,"  she  said. 


Shirley  Mason  is  the 
wife  of  a  great,  big 
black-haired  boy  whom 
she  adores.  They're 
the  happiest  couple  im- 
aginable. "Berney  is 
such  a  good  husband," 
conBdes  Shirley.  "I 
never   want  another"

"Scratch  her  eyes  out!"  vociferously.

Francelia  Billington  be- 
gan her  film  career  as 
leading  woman,  largely 
thru  her  friendship  with 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  George 
Melford.  So  Francelia 
started  playing  oppo- 
site Carlyle  Blackwell 
at  old  Kalem,  follow- 
ing Alice  Joyce 


Tiii:v  told  me  out  at  Uni- 
versal studio  to  interview 
I'rancelia  I'illinjfton  about 
her  Japanese  fans,  so  I  did ; 
that  is,  I  asked  her  to  let  me 
see  her  collection.  Instead  of 
comjilyin;;  with  my  request, 
she  hurst  out  lauf^hing. 

"That's  a  studio  joke,"  she 
apologized,  sobering. 

"Then  you  haven't  any  collection  ?"  I  asked,  a  trifle 
tartly,  mentally  hoping  that  a  certain  publicity  man  would 
choke  on  his  demi-tasse. 

"Oh,  yes — yes,  indeed,"  she  hastily  assured  me, 
"but  they're  all  in  Japan — they  aren't  that  kind  of 
fans,  you  see,"  she  hurried  on,  disregarding  gram- 
matical niceties.  "They're  people  .  .  .  you  know, 
picture  fans." 

I   forgave  the  Universal  P.  M.,  and  we  sat  down  to  chat. 
Miss  P.illington  has  a  home  in  Glendale,  near  Los  Angeles, 
with  a  mother  who  looks  young  enough  to  be  her  sister,  a  sister, 
Wanda,  who  is  a  trifle  older  than  she,  and  a  white  Spitz  dog 
which  answers  to  the  name  of  "Mutts"  and  which  is  very  much  a  par 
the  family.     She  was  wearing  a  creation — it  really  tco.?  that — of  grey 
ured  chiffon,  with  loose,  fluttery  sleeves  and  a  dee]>  collar  of  cream  1: 
Her  hair  is  lighter  than  you  would  expect  from  her  pictures,  and  her  i 
are  either  grey  or  hazel — it's  hard  to  tell  wliich— and  she  smiles  with 
unexpected  quirk,  showing  lovely  white  teeth  and  wholesome  little  lau 
ter  lines  at  the  corners  of  her  mouth. 

I  suppose  you  know  without  my  telling  you  that  she  was  Eric  Von  St 
heim's  leading  woman  in  his  much  talked  about  feature,  "Blind  Husband 
and  has  been  made  since  that  time,  a  Universal  star  heading  her  own  con

pany.      Rut   to    return   to   the    fans — Japanese 
variety ! 

"It's  a  funny  thing,"  said  Francelia,  settling 
herself  into  the  corner  of  a  couch  piled  high 
with  comfortable  pillows,  "but  it  seems  that  in 
Japan  I  am  very  popular.  I'm  sure  I  dont 
know  why,"  she  added,  frankly.  "I'm  not  a 
raving  beauty  ...  I  think  they  must  be  par- 
tial to  blondes,  not  having  any  of  them  in  that 
country.  Rut  the  fact  remains  that  two-thirds 
of  my  mail  comes  from  Japan,  with  the  most 
extravagant  praise  for  my  work  and  flowery 
compliments  for  my  'heaven-flower  beauty,'  as 
they  call  it.  Recently  I  won  the  popularity  con- 
test over  there,  and  since  then  the  whole  studio 
force  has  joked  me  about  my  collection  of 
Japanese  'fans.'  " 

.\t  my  request,  Francelia's  mother  went  up- 
stairs to  look  for  some  of  the  letters  and  gifts 
which  her  talented  daughter  receives  from  the 
Flowery  Kingdom.  And,  while  waiting,  we 
talked  shoj) — jiictures,  directors,  titles  and  am- 
bitions. 

"I  .suppose  you  commenced  as  an  extra  girl?" 
I  asked,  confidently,  but  the  fair  Francelia 
shook  her  head  and  almost  blushed. 

"No,  I  didn't,"  she  confessed,  apologetically. 
"I'd  like  to  say  I  had,  but  the  truth  is  that  I 
began  my  career  in  pictures  as  a  leading  woman. 
I  was  fairly  pushed  into  the 
movies.  If  I  had  had  to  stand 
around  in  the  hot  sun  for  just

Did  you  ever  hear  a  movie  star  talk  like  that  r  1 
never  did.  They  always  tell,  and  truthfully,  too,  I 
suppose,  of  their  heart-breaking  struggles  for  "bits" 
in  pictures  and  for  recognition  of  their  talents.  Natu- 
rally, 1  asked  for  further  details— any  one  would. 

"It  happened  when  I  was  seventeen  years  old — that 
was  hve  years  ago,"  she  said,  by  which  you  will  notice 
she  is  one  of  screendom's  beauties  who  can  aflford  to 
tell  her  real  age. 

"George  Melford,  who  was  then  a  director  at  the 
Kalem  Companv,  in  Glendale,  and  Mrs.  Melford  lived 
near  us.  Mrs.'  Melford  was  always  trying  to  get 
me  to  go  over  to  the  studio  for  a  test.  But  I  consid- 
eied  being  in  movies  a  sort  of  disgrace  and  wouldn't 
go.  And  then  one  day,  when  I  was  up  at  her  house, 
Mr.  Melford  came  in  with  the  announcement  that  Alice 
Joyce  was  leaving  Kalem.     He  said  to  m'e,  'I've  got  to

Well,  you  might  imagine 
that  I  would  have  been  delighted. ^but  I  wasn't  I

This  is  indeed  the  one  word 
which  describes  Jane  Novak ! 

Tho  she  is  very  sweet,  refresh-

that  stands  out  above  every  other 
(|ualilv   when   one  thinks  of   her. 

Jane    was    born    in    St.    I-ouis, 
her  father  being  a  newspaper  man 
in  that  city.     She  early  made  her 
appearance   in   a   stock   company,

The  Sporting  Duchess 

FictionizeJ  fidiii  the  Alice  Joyce-Vihigiiiph  Photopl.iy 

By  FAITH  SERVICE 


MrKii:;  .  Duchess  of  Desborouj,'!!,  was  sporting  in  more  ways 
than  one.  She  was  sporting  in  her  instincts  as  well  as 
her  tastes.  She  loved  her  luisband,  her  son,  horses  and 
.fair  play.  Chiefly,  fair  play. 
Her  Hood  ran  thru  her  veins 
according  to  the  best  form, 
and  bluely.  Slie  maintained 
traditions.  .She  expected  the 
same  of  others,  .She  expected 
hapjiiness,  too.  She  \y:ir.  one 
of  the  serene  souls  who,  giv- 
ing serenity  to  the  world,  ex- 
pect serenity  to  be  given  back 
again.  Her  years  were  tran- 
quil, well  ordered,  charming 
.  .  .  that  is,  until  the  Duke 
of  Desborough  "ran  across" 
some  old  friends  in  London 
and  jilanned  to  have  them  for 
a  week-end  at  Desltorough. 

"I  knew  them  in  India,"  he 
explained  to  his  Duchess ; 
"Mostyn  and  Mrs.  Delmaine 
and  most  of  the  others.  I 
know  them — rather  well.  One 
does,  y'know.  in  India."  He 
added,  with  what  Muriel  re- 
considered apiiarent  irrele- 
vance later  on.  "the  rainy 
:,eason,  dont  you  know'" 

hrom  the  beginning  she  did 
not  like  Most)n.  He  was  dis- 
sipated, and  he  liad  unpleas- 
ant eyes.  They  shifted  like 
oily  waters.  .She  not  only  did 
not  like  him,  but   felt  a   fear 

fTtifiiiif-iiitie) 


of  him,  which  annoyed  her.     Groum  Hess  fears  were  hysteria, 
and  the  Duchess  had  a  fine  contempt  for  hysteria. 

.She  did  not  like  Mrs.  Delmaine.  eifner,  but  she  felt,  as  one 

woman  to  another,  a  kind  of 
|)ity  for  her.  There  were 
ghosts  in  her  eyes  —  sad 
ghosts — and  restless.  Dead 
things  stirred  and  would  not 
let  her  be.  It  was  evident 
that  Mrs.  Delmaine  had  been 
exceedingly  unhappy. 

The  fact  that  her  husband 
had  known  her  in  India  meant 
very  little  to  Muriel.  No 
doubt  the  Duke  had  known  a 
great  many  women  in  India 
and  elsewhere.  Muriel  was 
not  the  t)-pe  to  (|uestion  pasts, 
which  certainly  belonged  to 
their  owners.  The  present,  so

The  one  way  ont  for  Dcslioroii,i;h  was  liis  horse.  "Clijistonc," 
winning  the  Derby.  If  Mostyn  slioidd  foreclose  before  the 
Derby,  tliere  would  be  few  vesti.ges  of  di.gnity  iiossible.  then, 
for  tlie  Duke  and  Ducliess.  Mostyn  liad  anotlier  reason.  He 
was  the  sort  of  a  man  who  always  would  have  another  reason, 
and  the  other  reason,  in  some  form  or  other,  would  be  a 
woman.  He  had  looked  upon  Muriel,  and  from  the  introduc- 
tion he  had  conceived  for  her  an  obsession.  That  .she  was 
cold,  aloof,  unattainable  were  but  so  many  goads.  Neither 
did  it  make,  to  him,  very  much  difference  how  he  attained  his 
desire.     His  desire,  in  itself,  was  all  tli.it  mattered. 

Mrs.  Dclmaine  was  a  willing  cons]iirator.  She  had  taken 
her  discard  hard,  when  it  came  to  the  matter  of  Desborough. 
It  had  been  unforgettable,  for  some  'stnmgc  reason  she  had 
never  been  able  to  fathom.  Perhaps-  her  mouth  (|uirked  bit- 
terly at  this  thought — jierhaiis  she  had  loved  him.  W  ho  could 
tell?  Love,  or  a  lesser  thing,  it  had  hurt  her  past  forgiveness. 
It  had  bred,  first  an  intolerable  ii;iin,  then  bitterness,  arid  and 
consuming,  then  the  desire  for  a  personal  \engeance  which 
might  measure  back  ii>  him  some  meed  of  the  pain  she  had 
known.  Mostyn  seemed  a  sort  of  answer  to  a  great  many 
blasphemous  prayers. 

Mrs.  Delmaine  was  not  as  subtle  ;is  she  might  ha\e  been. 
She  had  got,  it  seemed,  beyond  that  stage.  Pain  is  a  bad  thing 
for  shades  and  nuances,  especially  when  a  woman  lias  ttn'ned 
the  shady  thirties  and  has  known  emotional  thumb-screws. 
.She  was  not,  at  any  event,  subtle  enougli  for  the  Duchess,  who 
was  very  subtle  indeed  and  far  cleverer  than  she  might  have 
been  credited  with  being  by  a  casual  observer. 

She  fainted  in  Desborougli's  arms,  just  in  time  for  Muriel 
to  see  him  bending  over  her.  She  m.iintained  the  faint,  com- 
ing out  of  it  badly  and  murmuring  something  anent  times  like 
these  in  Indian  days   .    .    .   she  added  ;i  little,  intimate  Indian

caught  unaware,  held 
her  to  him,  whether 
necessarily  or  unneces- 
sarily he  himself  would 
probably  have  found  it 
hard  to  say.  He  found, 
when,  unexpectedly,  he 
met  ^I Uriel's  eyes,  that  he 
could  say  nothing  at  all. 
Mrs.  Delmaine  did  not 
give  him  any  help.  Mu- 
riel did. 

"I  am  .sorry  y(ju  are 
ill,"  she  said,  with  a 
gracious  ease.  "Shall  I 
send  for  your  maid? 
You  must  wish  to  rest  ?" 
If  Desborough  had 
loved  Muriel  before,  he 
loved  her  even  more  af- 
ter the  tensity  of  th,it 
little  scene  had  been  re- 
1.i\ed  by  her  deft  touch. 
More  than  all  else,  any- 
way, he  h ad  a  1  w a y s

hold  liis  iicad  high,  ste|i 
proudly.  He  felt,  in  that  hour,  that  he  wanted,  more  than 
anything  else,  to  hold  his  head  high,  to  step  proudly.  He  tolil 
her  so.  There  was  a  silence  between  them,  and  he  knew  that 
she  could  not  ask  him  any  question,  but  that  her  heart  w;is 
wondering.  He  felt  that  the  ])art  of  pride  called  for  words. 
"A  long  while  ago,"  he  said,  taking  her  hand,  which  met 
his  touch  firmly,  "a  long  time  ago — in  India — Mrs.  Delmaine 
meant — meant  something  to  me,  JMuriel,  in  the  w.iy  a  woman 
does  mean  something  to  a  man — at  times.  U  passed  away, 
with  me.  Completely.  It  was  a  closed  incident.  It  was  linal. 
It  has  been,  until  her  a])))earance  here,  absent  from  my  most 
subconscious  thought.  Of  course,  her  coming  w;is  a  breach 
.  .  .  horrible  .  .  .  Mostyn  did  not  tell  nie.  when  1  nui  them 
all  in  town,  that  he  was  bringing  her  here  to  sta\-  .  .  .  just  for 
tea  ...  I  am  no  end  sorry,  Muriel.  I  wciuldn'l  t.-iniish  a 
single  hair  of  your  head  .  .  .  or  the  boy's.  ^  ou  know  llial. 
You  do.  dont  you.  my  dear?" 

"Yes,"  .said  Muriel;  "yes  ...  of  cour.se.  'Sou  know,  it  is 
instinct  or  tradition,  or  just  the  sense  of  ])ossession,  which  is 
r.ither  a  grillin.g  thing  .  .  .  hut — well,  there's  a  certain  jiain 
to  a — a  tiling  like  this,  of  c<iur.se.  Not  that  I  dont  imderstand. 
Not  that  ...   I   ...   I  lielieve  I  do." 

"I  dont  want  you  to,"  whisjiered  the  Duke,  holding  her  very 
close;  "I  dont  want  you  to,  sweetheart,  and  yet  1  .  .  .  oh.  1 
adore  you  because  you  do." 

It  was  u|)on  this  scene  that  Mostyn  entered,  unobtrusively, 
and  noted  that  theoriginal  plan  had  failed.  The  Duchess  was 
being  s]>ortiii,g. 

The  only  thing  to  do  was  to  change  the  target  of  attack. 
.Since  Muriel  was  so  awf'ly  sporting,  the  logical  ((uarry  war, 
Desborough  himself.  Men  and  the  jealousy  of  men  were  more 
easilv  inflamed.  Mrs.  Delmaine  said  that  she  thought  she 
could  jiierce  the  armored  pride.  Leave  it  to  her,  she  told 
Mostyn. 

It  was  an  ea.sy  role  for  Mrs.  Delmaine,  that  of  .sympathy

blurred  vision  of  Desboroufih,  .satir-

"Tony  .  .  .  you've  come  in  time!" 
reached  him  as  thru  the  roarintj  of 
m.any  turbulent  .and  outr.ifjed  w.aters.

.adoration.  It  was  the  toppled  pedes- 
tal that  had  sent  Mrs.  Delniaine 
crashins;  to  the  earth. 

The  house  ]iarty  at  I)esb()iiiui,di 
broke  up  that  nifjht.  Mrs.  Delm.iine 
returned  to  London  and  the  r.ither 
va^'ue   obscurity   in    which   she   kept 

h.erself  enshrouded.  Mostyn,  dro|ipin};  ,-ill  ])retense  of  friend- 
ship for  Desbor<jiif,di,  foreclosed  on  Uc'sborousjh's  stables,  thus 
losiufj  "C'lipstone"  and  his  attendant  bope  for  the  Duke. 
Harold,  their  little  soil',  ill  over  the  loss  of  his  mother,  w-hom 
he  h.ad  worsliijied,  was  removed  to  a  sanitarium  in  I.ondon 
and  the  merry  w;i.t;s  who  call  themselves  the  I'ates  li.ad  full 
tilt  and  sway. 

Muriel,  of  them  .all,  outrafied  and  misjudged  as  she  had 
been,  maintained  a  certain  bal.ance.  In  the  death  of  her  hurt, 
in  the  very  heart  of  her  ]iain,  sbe  felt  a  sympathy  for  the 
Duke,  for  what  he  must  in  every  w.ay  be  suffering;.  .Sbe  even 
felt  a  sense  of  ]iity  for  Mostyn.  ])oor  man.  harried  by  the

like  coin.     She  felt  ih.al.  entrenched,  she  could  wait. 

She  could,  but  the  Duke's  fortunes  could  not,  With  the

ity,  the  lovable  Desl>oroU!,'h.  He  needed  fortilication  of  one 
sort  or  another.  Muriel  jjrew  desperate.  .\t  the  same  time

directly  responsible  for  the  llij;ht  of  Mary  ,\ylmer.  .\lso, 
that  he  was  seeing;  and  seekins,'  consolation  in  Mrs,  Delmaine. 
There  grew  in  >Iuriel  the  belief  that,  if  she  could  save  him 
linancially,  he  mifjht  still  make  of  his  life  something  of  the  thing 
be  wanted.  .She  loveil  him  enough  to  love  herself  a  great  deal 
less.  It  was  this  hope  th.at  led  her  to  consent  to  an  engagement 
with  Lord  .Sireatlield  upon  the  day  her  divorce  decree  was 
granted.  Streatl'ield  was  a  nice  boy.  He  was  clean  and  he  had 
adored  her.     She  would  be  giving  him  h.a]ipiness,  and  he — well. 


Young  Leigh  was 
with  Desboroujh 
and  back  of  them 
was  Streattield, 
who  had  come 
for  her 


he  would  give  her  his  consolatory  pres- 
ence and  he  would  buy  "CIi|istone"  for 
her,  so  that  sbe  might  return  Iiim  to  the 
Desborough  st.ables  and  win  the  Derby 
race  for  the  Desbcjrough  glorv.  Streat- 
field,  for  a  young  man,  and  one  very 
much   in   love,  had   few   illusions    .    .    '. 

He  h.ad  learnt  that  the  greatest  illusion  of  all  comes  when 
vou  think,  once  and  for  all,  that  you  have  done  with  illusions. 
The  only  illusion  to  cling  to  is  the  rather  facing  one  of  reality. 
He  had  C(jme  up  against  that  one,'  for  the  first  time  in  In's  Ufe, 
when  he  knew  that  he  lc]\ed  Mu-iel.  He  had  come  up  against 
it  rather  hard.  I'.ut  he  did  lo\e  her.  In  the  light  of  bis  love 
for  her  he  knew  that  he'd  only  wanted  other  women,  for  him- 
self, never  for  them.  He  learnt  that  lo\e  is  s.acrifice  and  serv- 
ice, there  being  no  limits  to  either  one  of  these. 

If  he  could  give  to  her,  e\en  in  so  small  a  measure  as  to  give 
her  comfort  after  all  the  discomfort  she  had  known,  lie  knew 
that  he  would  achieve  what  nnvsf  be  for  him  his  jiinnacle  of 
hapjiiness.  H  he  could  t^ke  the  droop  from  her  slender  shoul- 
ders, the  shadows  from  her  dark,  dear  eyes,  the  dejection  from 
her  wistful  mouth  .  .  .  just  to  lift  these'  ghosts  from  her  . 
would  he  enough  .  .  .  this,  learnt  Streatfield,  was  lin.'c 
The  first  step  was  to  buv  "Clipstone"  and  allow  her  to  feel 
that  thru  the  horse  and  a  -on  race  the  fortune  so  dear,  so 
mevitably  dear,  to  her  heart,  was  restored  .    . 

"Clipstone"  did  win  the  Derby  race.  He  won  it  in  spite  of 
foul  play  on  the  part  of  the  opposing  jockey.  He  won  it  be- 
cause the  judges  jilayed  exceedinglv  fair  and  reversed  the 
numbers,  having  disqualified  the  opp'osing  "King  of  Trumps" 
for  the  foul.     The  Desborough  debt  was  cleared.

.i;iiests  ...  a  ,^'rcal  m.any  tilings  ahont  men  and  women,  and 
passion  and  des)iair.     .\nd  also,  about  love. 

.She  had  learnt  how  to  teni))er  justice  with  mercy  and  how 
lo  leaven  despair  u  ith  the  di\  inc  ingredient  of  hojie.  .She  iiad 
come  to  believe  th;(t.  of  all  vital  thiuiis.  the  most  vital  of  these 
is  lo\e,  .-md  that  it  will,  because  it  must,  win  thru.  C)ther 
things  make  no  difterence,  springint;.  as  they  do,  more  or  less 
extraneously,  frotn  the  fundamental  fact. 

It  had  been  so  with  her,  .She  lo\ed  the  Duke,  not  because 
she  didn't  know  him  ;  not  because  she  harbored  an  illusion 
which  the  house  parly  and  tlie  incidents  thereto  had  torn  from 
her,  but  because  she  did  know  him.  and  knowing  all  was  for- 
.giving  all.  She  loved  him  as  she  loved  their  son,  who.  being 
wise,  mi.ght,  too,  at  times  be  foolish,  yet  in  both  .guises  be  the 
same  essenti.al  being.  It  was  this  love  that  had  directed  her 
every  move,  th.'it  h,-id  en.abled  her  to  stay  away  from  him.  to 
retreat  when  he  seemed  to  uish-it,  knowing  that  if  his  love 
for  her  were  <if  the  same  inherent  <|uality  as  hers  for  him  he 
nuist  inevitably  come  b;ick  to  her.  and  that  if  it  were  not,  she 
could  not  d(j  with  a  lesser  thing.

Young  Leigh  was  with  Desborough  and  back  of  them  was 
Sfreattield,  who  had  come  for  her.  In  the  midst  of  Des- 
borough's  denunciation,  Leigh  was  speaking.  He  was  admit- 
ting that  he  had  given  false  testimony  at  tlie  trial  of  Muriel 
and  Desborough  for  divorce.  He  had  been  "bought"  by 
Mostyn  and  Mrs.  Delmaine.  He  admitted,  too,  that  he  had 
helped  Mostyn  foster  Desborough's  suspicions  and,  further, 
that  it  was  he  who  had  suggested  lo  Muriel  that  Desborough 
was  responsible  for  Mary  .\yhiier.  The  res])onsibility  of  that, 
he  added,  belonged  to  Mostyn,  He  concluded,  miserablv,  that 
it  was  "pretty  slimy." 

De.sborougli,  more  gravely  than  was  his  wont,  acknowledged 
that  it  was. 

"You  know  what  the  need  of  money  is."  muttered  Leigh. 
"It  is  a  regular  grindstone  on  your  very  soul.  I  had  one  once, 
and  then  ..."  He  looked  over  to  where  Muriel,  very  white 
and  straight,  was  .standing  by  her  son,  her  patient  hands 
touching  his  hair,  her  eyes  compassionate  and  Madonna-like. 
"I  couldn't  go  on,"  he  said,  indicating  Muriel,  "with  her  .  .  . 
as  she  ...  is  ... " 

There  was  a  silence  in  which,  between  all  of  them,  as.sent 
breathed  and  a  tacit  acknowledgment  of  the  sporting  duchess. 
Then  the  boy  went  on,  as  tho  some  coiling  thing  was  untwist- 
ing itself  from  his  inner  consciousness.  "It's  the  other  sort  of 
I'erson,"  he  intoned,  rather  nasally,  "the  Mostyns  and  the  Del- 
maines,  little,  mean  sort  of  people,  violating,  i>andering  sort 
of  peo|)le.  Petty  jealousies,  old  grudges,  and  all  that.  Mo.styn 
.  .  .  .Mostyn  was  mucking  about  in  the  mud,  reaching  for  a 
star  to  drag  down  into  it,  and  Mrs.  Delmaine — well,  we  know 
licr  type.  They  seem  to  keep  recurring  .  .  .  anyway,  they 
ke])t  at  me,  the  two  of  them  kept  and  kept  at  me,  suggesting, 
offering,  bribing,  threatening  .  .  .  they  knew  a  chap's  weak 
points,  those  two,  and  they  attacked  'em  .  .  .  they  made  me 
do  it  ...  I  can  swear  to  that  ...  it  was  weak  in  me,  but 
ihey  i)layed  on  that  weakness  .  .  .  oh,  they  played  right 
enough  ..." 

The  Duchess  intervened,  kindly.  .She  said  it  was  quite  all 
right.  .She  said  that  so  courageous  an  acknowledgment  was  a 
thoro  vindication.  She  said  that  they  all  forgave  him,  and 
more,  understood.  It  was,  she  added,  quite  all  right,  and 
turned  her  head  that  she  might  not  see  the  tears  standing  forth 
in  the  lad's  eyes  .    .    . 

It  was  .Streatlield  who  saved  the  day.  He  went  over  to 
Muriel,  white  in  the  gathering  gloaming,  and  took  her  soft 
hand  in  his.  ".Steer  straight.  Muriel."  lie  said,  tenderly,  "and 
dont  think  of  me.  You  love  "Desborough  and  I  know  now  that 
you  belong  to  him.  He  knows  it,  too.  Be  happy.  Please  be 
liappy.    You've  maile  me  so  .  .   .  and  that  will  hold.    Good-by." 

,V  month  later  Muriel  was  again  at  Desborough.  Tony  sit- 
ting very  close  to  her;  their  small  son,  ro.ses  beginning  to  show 
in  liis  cheeks  again,  safe  in  his  nursery  with  Mary,  also  safe. 

"Do  you  remember,"  Desborough  was  saying,  "that  Streat- 
lield s.'iiil  that  you  belonged  to  me  r     Do  you?" 

"\'es,  dear." 

"Do  you  know — it's  so?  \'ou  do.  Deeper  than  all  outer 
things,  a  truth  like  tiiat  e.\ists.  We  belong,  you  and  I.  We 
iiave.  we  can  have,  no  seiKirate  entities." 

.Muriel  took  his  he.ad  between  her  hands  and  held  it  close.

I  SAW  hei-  first  three  years  ajjo,  a  sail  little  \\is)i  nt  a  tliiiif;, 
with   a   I'iK'lail,   (louii-ilroiiiiiiif;   liji-ciirners   and   a    shabby 
frock,  with   sjicies  ton  Iar^;c   for  \hv  tiny  Cimlerella   feet. 
At   tlie   time.    I'aiiliiie   Starke   was   doiii};   school    in   coni]iany 
with  Mildre<l  Harris  Chaplin,  Cieoryie  .Stone,  Violet  kadcliffe 
.-Mid  other  \erv  small  fry. 

Polly  Starke  anil  Mildred  ll.arris  uerc  the  oldest  scholars, 
and  both  were  in  the  j,'aiiche,  seliooli;irl  at;e  when  attending 
the  Maiestic-Keliance  school,  uliere  one  teacher  disseminated 
knouledfje  to  all  ^'rades. 

It  was  necessity  that  drove  Pauline   to  the  movies,   foi    at 
tlie  time  her  mother  was  wardrobe  mistress  at  the   Reliance 
Pauline's   futm'e  looked  none  too  brifjht.

.\  few  days  later,  ni  a  ])liysician  s  omce,  i  met  moinei  anu 
daufjhter,  and  pretty  I'olly  looked  positively  older  than  she 
does  now.  ^'ou  .see,  at  that  time  she  luid  to  put  on  a<;e  in 
order  to  hold  the  (opportunity  to  make  .good  on  the  screen. 
With  her  hair  dressed  hii,'h  and  a  ridicidously  lonj,'  skirt,  the 
little  !;irl  sat  on  :\  stiff-backed  settee  and  talked  very  seriously 
to  nie  while  her  motlicr  had  .a  treatment. 


Necessity  drove  Paul- 
ine Starke  to  the 
movies.  Her  mother 
was  wardrobe  mistress 
at  the  Reliance  studio 
and  Polly's  future 
looked  none  too  bright. 
Then  directors  began 
to  see  in  her  another 
Mae  Murray  and — 
presto  I — success  was 
hers 


Icjok  for  the  .sad  little  face  with 
the  uncanny  bij;  eyes,  the 
straijjlit  hair  and  so'b-sistery 
roles.  It  was  whispered  that 
directors  refused  to  let  her 
play  strai{;ht  comedy 
liecause  she  was  a 
second  Mae  Marsh. 

Then    the   war  be-

Pretty

I  thought  her  all  too 
.serious,  too  weighted 
with  res|ionsibilities,  and 
was  glad  to  hear  that  she 
had  found  an  opening  at 
the  old  Triangle,  in  Cul- 
ver City,  wlien  the  fa- 
mous Ciriffith  plant 
closed  down. 

The  two  years  that 
followed  saw  Pauline

with  her  name  in  electric 
lights.     One   began   to

taking  the  public's  at- 
tention away  from  lior- 
ror  and  death  by  sub- 
stituting comedy-drama 
for  tearful  photoplays, 
put  PoMy  on  her  mettle. 
It  was  in  "Until  They 
Get  Me"  that  Pauline 
did  a  daring  jump,  a 
"Fairbanks'  drop"  into 
space,  landing  on  a 
horse's  back  and  gallop- 
ing away  in  great  style. 
So  it  was  with  a  good 
deal  of  curiosity  that  I 
rang  the  upstairs  bell  of 
a  two- family  flat  house, 
conscious  that   a   pretty 


The  real  Pauline  Starke  is  not 
the  sad-faced  Injured  Innocent 
one  expects  to  find.  She  has  a 
sweet  face,  is  a  bit  whimsical, 
droll  and  wistful,  but,  most  of 
all,  she  loves  life  with  a  healthy 
enjoyment.  She  has  just  cele- 
brated her  nineteenth   birthday 


little    face    was    peeping   out 
of  the  second  front  wipdow. 
It    wasn't    a    minute    before 
tripping  steps  came  down  the 
stairway    and     Pauline    wel- 
comed  me   to   the   home   she 
and   her   mother   have 
occupied    for    the    past 
three  months. 

I  couldn't  believe  my 


eyes! 


It     would     take 


more  than  ordinary  per- 
suasion   to    make    one 


swallow  the  fact  that  Polly's  mother 
is  her  senior  by  nineteen  years.  And 
Polly  her.self !  P>!ess  me,  the  child  is  younger  now  than  wlien 
she  sat  on  the  school-bench.  Her  hair  is  modishly  arranged, 
parted  on  one  side,  with  ear-warmers  which  are  mighty 
becoming  and  make  one  think  her  hair  is  bobbed. 

Pauline  Starke  doesn't  photograph  "true,"  either  in  private 
sittings  or  on  the  screen.  She's  not  the  sad-faced  wight  one 
expects  to  find.  She's  blest  with  the  sweetest  little  face,  a 
bit  whimsical,  droll,  wistful — but  optimistic,  full  of  tlie  enjoy- 
ment of  a  healthy,  young  life.  Her  nineteenth  birthday  was 
celebrated  in  January,  1920.  She's  a  slim  girl,  and  her  feet 
haven't  grown  any  bigger  in  the  three  years  aforesaid,  even 
tho  clothed  in  comfortable  cosy-toes,  put  on  because  she'd 
worked  so  hard  all  day  in  tight  pumps  that  the  e.x(|uisite  luxury 
of  a  pink  satin  boudoir  sli])per  appealed  strongly. 

Now   that   she  doesn't   ha't'C   to  look   old.   Polly   is   looking 

childishly  young.     Her  mother  looks  about  six  years  older  than 

she;  both  liave  the  fine,  fair  skin,  soft,  dark  hair  worn  off  the 

face,   and    thoughtful    eyes.     Mrs.    Starke    is   keeping   every

"TY7iii:n   one  lias  lust   .'ill   that   counts  and  is   still   youiii;.  anil 
\^     mnst  live  on,  there  is  only  one  thin;;  to  do — make  the 

best  of  what  is  left.  That  I  am  trying  to  do." 
It  was  eleven  o'clock  on  a  Sunday  niorninj;.  .\  big  house 
just  off  \ew  York's  famous  avenue — a  big  room,  dull  green  and 
tan,  hangings  of  old  rose — Madame  Halina  I'ruzovna  in  a 
richly  ui)holstered  chair,  her  feet  resting  upon  a  liokhara  prayer 
nig  that  sank  heavily  into  grey  pile. 

Would  it  were  possible  to  tell  her  tragic  story  as  she  told  it  to 
me,  slowly,  hesitantly,  carefully,  in  pretty,  broken  l''.nglish,  and 
to  pictui'e  her  mobile,  sensiti\e  face,  the  appeal  of  her  dark  eyes, 
the  indescribable  grace  of  gesture  of  her  beautiful  hands  as  she 
turned  to  her  watchful  secretary  when  the  right  word  would 
not  quite  come. 

Madame  I'.ruzovna  began  her  stage  ca- 
reer more  than  eight  years  ago.  Her  rep- 
ertoire consists  of  comedies  and  dramas 
of  Russian,  I'rench,  luiglish  and  Polish 
authors,  Kinternnacker,  \\ilde,  lieriistein, 
(lorky.  'I'olstoi,  etc.  .She  is  known  not  onlv 
in  I'<jland.  her  native  country,  but  all  over 
luirope,  in  .\ustralia,  even  Africa,  as  the 
stage  and  movie  queen  of  l'olan<l. 

"The  Dancer,"  a  popular  1 'roadway 
production  a  year  or  two  ago,  is  one 
of  the  plays  in  which  Madame  I'.ru- 
zovna scored  a  wonderful  success. 
It  ran  si.\  months  at  the  State  Theater 
in  Warsaw,  following  which  Madame 
formed  a  company  of  fiftei;n  peo|)le 
and  went  on  tour. 

When  war  broke  out  in  luiro])e, 
.she  happened  to  be  in  Herlin  and,  before  she 
could  .get  out  of  the  country,  was  taken  pris- 
oner. Finally,  thru  the  intervention  of  friends, 
she  was  allowed  to  go  to  Switzerland,  leaving 
her  trunks,  her  jewels  in  I'.erlin.  During  her 
.sojourn  in  Switzerland  she  could  not  buv  e\en 
,^^  a  change  of  linen,  as  there  was  not  enough 

%^       V\         clothing  for  the  old  and  the  children. 

\nxious  to  reach  her  native  town,  Warsaw, 
she  was  compelled  to  journev  all 
oyer  Europe,  thiu  l-'rance,  I'.ngland, 
Xorway  and  Russia,  before  she 
reached  Poland,  where,  until  war 
closed  the  theaters,  she  continued 
her  stage  career. 

In  California  there  had  lived  for 
twel\e  years  young  Ostoya,  Polish 
by  birth,  .\merican  by  environment, 
but  loving  l'ol;ind  with  the  intense 
lo\  e  that  all  Polanders  have  for  their 
native  land.  When  l-.urope  was  plunged  into  war.  he,  with 
many  other  loyal  countrymen,  hastened  to  his  country's  need. 

In  Warsaw,  young  <  >stoya  met  his  talented  young  country- 
woman, .Madame  Hruzovna,  and  greatly  admired  her.  The  ad- 
miration and  esteem  were  mutual,  and  soon  they  were  married. 
When  Major  (  )stoya,  later  fine  of  the  most  famous  of  Poli.sh 
commanders,  was  called  to  the  battlefront,  madame  donned  a 
soldier's  uniform,  shouUlered  a  gun  and  went  with  him  as  a  sol- 
dier in  the  Polish  army.  Twice  she  fought  in  the  front-line 
trenches.  With  her  husband  she  was  stationed  in  Warsaw  dur- 
ing the  crisis  of  the  Polish  struggle.  .After  she  left  the  army 
she  became  a  Red  Cross  nurse,  serving  for  eight  months  directly 
behind  the  liring-line.  ( 'ne  of  her  choicest  possessions  is  a 
medal  given  her  by  the  late  Czar  of  Russia  when  he  was  at 
Warsaw  and  was  shown  about  Red  Cross  headijuarters  by 
Madame  Hruzovna.  who  speaks  Russian  fluently.  The  medal  is 
an  old  one,  struck  liy  the  first  Romanoff  Czar  centuries  ago. 
When  Nicholas  presented  the  medal  to  Madame  he  said:   "This

husband,  a  major

medal,  cast  by  the  tirst  Romanoff,  is  presented  to  you  for 
your  distinguished  service  by  the  last  Romanoff."  These 
projihetic  words  were  uttered  just  a  month  before  he  lost  his 
throne. 

In  connection  with  her  stage  work  in  Warsaw,  the  young 
Polish  artiste  h.id  played  many  leads  for  the  Sphin.\-Warsaw 
Film  Company,  so,  besides  active  service  as  soldier  and  nurse, 
madanie  was  called  upon  many  times  to  play  leading  roles 
in  films  that  were  shown  all  over  Europe  during  the  war, 
many  of  them  being  taken  at  the  front. 

And  then,  the  war  over,  Major  Ostoya  was  killed  at 
Danzig  by  the  Bolsheviki. 

"It  was  so  very  hard,"  said  Madame  Bruzovna.     "We  had 
gone  thru   the  war  together — never  \ery   far 
apart — and    so    happy — even    tho     we    were  _ 

facing — yes,  living,  strange  things,  terrible  ^B^ 
things,  outrageous  things,  .\lways,  when  we  ^w  ^ 
had  time,  we  jilanned  our  future — after 
the  war.  My  husband  wanted  to  bring 
mt  to  .America  and  [)ut  me  on  the  stage. 
He  tried  to  teach  me  P^nglish,  but  always 
I  liked  best  to  talk  to  him  in  Polish. 

".And  now  he  is  gone.  I  have  the  caji 
he  wore  when  last  I  saw  him  alive — his 
pictures,  a  ft'w  siiapshots  of  both  of  us 
taken  on  the  very  few  days  we  spent 
'honeymooning'  in  Poland.  That  is  all, 
and  I  am  here — because  he  wanted  me 
to  come. 

"1  have  been  here  four  months.  I  sm 
trying  hard  to  learn  to  s]ieak  b'.nglish 
perfectly,  because  Mr.  .Shubert,  Mr.  He- 
lasco,  say  they  will  put  me  nn  the  stage 
when  I  have  I'.nglish  right.  .Americans 
— have  been  very  kind.  They  told  me 
about  pictures  and,  because  I  cannot 
bear  to  be  idle  and  because  it  takes  much 
niiiney  to  live  in  .\merica,  and  many 
'marks'  I  brought  from  Poland  to  make 
one  .American  dollar — I  work  in  pic- 
tures. 

"At  Selznick  studio  we  made  '  Tlie  Faded  Buttertly.'  It  is  very 
interesting  and  very  different  from  making  films  in  luirope.  Over 
there  we  made  all  pictures  out  of  doors.  Here,  we  make  them  in 
a  studio  with  big  lights. 

"I  like  the  country — the  |>eople — the  work  I  do.  Sometimes  it 
seems  like  a  dream — my  life.  Sometimes,  when  I  think — it  seems  I 
must  be  sixty — so  much  I  have  lived.  But — when  one  has  lost  all 
that  counts  and  is  still  young  and  must  live  on — there  is  only  one 
thing  to  do — make  the  best  of  what  is  left.    That  I  am  trying  to  do." 


Helen  Gammeltoft  came  to  this  country  from 
Copenhagen,  where  she  was  a  favorite  in 
Danish  film  plays.  In  the  center  is  a  glimpse 
of  Miss  Gammeltoft  in  a  screen  drama,  '"The 
Little  Chauffeur,"  with  Nicolay  Johansen 


"Do  I  look  >o  much  like  a  vamp — a  home-wrecker'"  queried 
Helen  Gammeltoft,  Scandinavian  film  star  and  songstress,  gazing 
earnestly  up  at  us.    "Please  tell  me.  '

Wouldn't  say  that. 

(    Miss  Gammeltoft   was  born   in   Copenhagen.      She   had   an   in- 
.  nerited  passion  for  music,  a  consuming  zeal  for  the  study  of  it. 
As  she  grew  older  music  was  always  to  her  the  voice  that  she  best 
loved  and  understood. 

To  sing  in  opera  was  her  ambition,  but  the  impatient  urge  of 
youth  and  a  tempting  offer  decided  her  to  accept  a  shorter  cut  to 
a  career,  and  at  the  age  of  seventeen  she  made  her  stage  debut  in 
musical  comedy  at  the  Gaiety  Theater  in  London. 

It  was  during  her  popularity  as  a  music-hall  favorite  that  her

Told  in  Story  Form  from  the  Mary  Miles  Minter-Realart  Photoplay 
By  OLGA  SHAW 


A  SHORT  time  ago  it  came  to  my  ears  that  a  great  many 
people,  tourists  and  such  like,  had  written,  and  even  sold, 
stories  about  Judy  of  Rogue's  Harbor.  It  made  me 
rather  indignant  and  accomplished  the  even  greater  feat  of 
making  me  think  .  .  .  for  I  felt,  justifiably,  that  not  one  per- 
son among  them  knew  as  much  of  Judy  as  I  did,  being  there, 
as  I  was.  during  the  summer  when  the  drama  of  her  young 
years  came  to  its  predestined  climax.  Not  any  one  of  them 
knew  Teddy,  or  the  Governor,  or  poor,  tragic  Ollie.  or  the 
Lady  of  the  Roses,  with  her  white  hair  and  her  unforgetful 
eyes.  It  made,  all  of  it,  a  deep  impression  upon  me  at  the 
time,  unfolding  before  me.  as  it  did,  and  then  I  went  away  and 
there  came  obliterating  years,  and  not  until  I  read  a  recently 
published  story  obviously  with  Judy  as  a  theme  did  memories 
come  back  to  me  .  .  .  fragmentary  .  .  .  here  and  there  .  . 
vivid  here  and  there  .   .   .  sweet  and  sad  .   .   . 

The  first  glimpse  I  had  of  Judy,  for  instance,  was  with 
Denny.  Just  at  that  time  it  would  have  been  impossible  to  see 
her  without  Denny.     The  two 

were  continually  together  .   .   . 

and  it  gave  me  a  sort  of  pleas- 
urable pain,  compounded  of 
estheticism  and  sheer  love  of 
form  and  beauty,  to  see  the 
lovely  girl,  approaching  woman- 
hood on  sure,  steady  feet, 
guided,  as  it  were,  by  the 
fragile  little  boy  whose  protec- 
tress and  confidante  she  was. 

There  was  probably  nothing 
particularly  arresting  about 
Judy  to  the  casual  observer, 
save  for  the  flowerlike  beauty 
and  tinting  of  gold  and  sea-shell 
pink   and    forget-me-not   blue,

which  were  her  eyes.  She  was  not  brilliant.  She  was  even 
quaintly  illiterate  most  of  the  time.  But  she  had,  if  I  may  so 
express  it,  the  all-pervasive  quality  of  love,  and  it  seemed  to 
beam  from  her  tender  eyes,  shine  from  her  white  brow,  touch 
her  lips  with  just  the  difference  that  made  her  unforgettable. 
At  least,  she  has  been  unforgettable  to  me  .   .   . 

I  have  always  been  touched,  in  one  sensibility  or  another,  by 
contrasts,  and  the  contrast  of  Judy  to  her  surroundings,  to  the 
people  about  her,  was  what  first  diverted  my  attention  from — 
well,  myself  at  the  time — to  her.  The  cottage,  with  its  un- 
kempt exterior,  its  rather  obvious  little  "fixings"  done,  all  too 
plainly,  by  a  woman's  hands ;  the  old  man  with  the  sullen  eyes 
and  the  perpetual  pipe,  at  the  window ;  the  tragic-looking  girl 
about  Judy's  own  age,  but  as  different  as  two  creatures  of  the 
same  sex  and  the  same  general  lineaments  could  well  be ;  the 
cowering  child,  Denny,  and  the  coar.se  farmer,  Jim,  who  was, 
it  seemed  to  me,  hovering,  and  always  ominously,  in  the  imme- 
diate background. 

There  were.  1  thought, 
strange  elements  mixing  and 
contending  there.  There  was 
storm  brewing  .  .  .  and  of  all 
things.  I  did  not  want  to  see 
the  little  girl  with  the  love  po- 
tentiality in  her  face  in  any 
sense  victimized. 

I  grew  to  know  the  Latly  of 
the  Roses.  I  think  I  came  to 
want  to  know  her  at  first  be- 
cause of  Judy.  After  a  while 
I  wanted  to  keep  on  knowing 
her  because  of  herself.  She 
had  an  exquisite  gentleness 
that,  just  at  first,  I  had  mis- 
taken for  a  silkiness  I  am  not

Jim,  it  seemed,  was  hover-

partial  to.  But  after  a  short 
time  I  came  to  know  that  the 
gentleness  was  a  philosophy  ac- 
quired piece  by  piece  and  bit  by 
bit,  often  with  fingers  that  bled, 
and,  always,  with  a  heart  that 
ached.  It  was  the  martyred  way 
the   shrine   of    faded   dreams   and 


in   which   .she   had   diaped 
locked  away  desires. 

She  told  mc  that  Judy  was  unalloyed  youth  and  love.  "The 
loveliest  thing,"  she  ac'ded.  "that  ever  God  thought  of,  after 
roses.    Once  upon  a  tiine  ..." 

I  had  to  prompt  her,  but  she  shook  her  head  and  made  a 
little  gesture  with  her  hands  as  tho  she  were  closing  the  door 
on  a  room  she  had  \owed  to  leave  unprofaned. 

"We  make  a  great  mistake."  she  told  me,  "in  talking  of  old 
hurts.  We  think  for  ea.sement,  but  we  get  revivification.  1 
never  speak  of  dead  things  .  .  ,  not  hopes  .  .  .  nor  hurts  .  .  ." 

.And  so,  of  cour.se.  I  did  not  touch  upon  the  theme  again, 
but.  often,  seeing  her  with  Judy,  I  ])ictured  her  as  a  woman 
who  had  loved  very  greatly  and  whose  dearest  hope  had  been 
to  cradle  a  child  in  her  arms,  the  child  of  the  man  she  had  so 
loved.  I  came  to  think  of  her  like  that,  wearing  the  immor- 
telles of  a  great  renunciation. 

I  didn't  know,  until  Judy  brought  Denny  to  the  Lady  of 
the  Roses  to  keep,  just  how  matters  stood  at  the  little. hut  in 
Rogue's  Harbor.  Judy  was  shocked,  that  night,  out  of  her 
usual  timidity,  never  without  its  accompaniment  of  a  fastidious 
dignity. 

( irand])ap.  it  evolved  from  Judy's  tremulous  lips  and 
fingers,  was  lovely  as  you  can  think  when  he  was.  sleeping 
Then,  it  seemed,  he  had  dreams,  gentle-appearing  dreams,  and 
his  half-opened  eyes  were  kind,  his  mouth  lost  its  ugly  twist 
and  became  tolerant  and  all  his  ferocity  fell  fro.n  him  even  as 
an  ill-fitting  cloak  might  fall.     He  seemed,  Judy  '.hought,  to  be 


his  rea!  .self.  It  was  characteristic  of  Judy  that  she  would 
believe  more  really  in  the  gentle  self  of  drearns  than  the  coarse 
one  of  awakening.    Judy  was  like  that. 

"He  has  been  getting,"  Judy  told  us,  "worse  and  worse  of 
late"  .  .  .  when  he  was  awake.  He  had  threatened  her  and 
he  had  actually  hit  Ollie.  .Mso,  he  had  sided  with  Jim 
Shuckles,  who,  Judy  shuddered  to  us,  wanted  to  "get  married 
with  me."  .\s  a  climax,  he  had  about  done  for  Denny,  on 
whom,  most  frequently  and  most  disastrously,  he  vented  his 
unbridled  brute  rages.  This  night  had  been  the  end.  Denny, 
Judy  had  thought,  was  done  for.  He  could  stay  no  longer  in 
Rogue's  Harbor  if  he  were  to  stay  on  earth  at  all. 

"1  thought."  she  ended,  with  her  wide  eyes  on  the  calm  eyes 
of  the  Lady  of  the  Roses,  "that  he  could  kinder  stay  with  you 
a  bit  till  I  .  .  .  til!  I  c'n  make  plans.  I'm  going  to  do  some- 
thing for  Denny.  He  aint  going  back  to  grandpap,  not  ever. 
If  you  cant  ..."  .She  ended  on  rather  a  wistful  note  and 
waited. 

The  Lady  of  the  Roses  had  taken  Denny's  bruised  little  body 
into  her  arms  and  was  soothing  him  with  whispers  and  with 
touch.  The  calm  of  her  eyes  was  momentarily  troubled.  Her 
lips  moved  and  I  heard  her  say.  "Xot  like  .  .  .  and  yet  .  .  , '" 
Then  she  smiled  up  at  Judy.  "Of  t'oiirsf  1  shall  keep  !iim." 
she  sail! ;  "it  will  be  charming  for  me.  He  shall  liave  kits  of 
bread  and  milk  and  sunshine  and  roses  and  love,  and  these  are 
the  things,  and  all  the  things,  a  child  requires.  I  shall  give 
them  .  .  .  oh,  gladly!  .\nd  he  shall  watch  me  sew,  by  lamp- 
light, and  when  you  come.  Judy,  to  try  on  the  frock  I  am 
making  you  we  will  have  Denny  -ts  audience  and  ciitic-in- 
general." 

It  seems  to  me  now,  on  looking  back,  that  two  or  three  un- 
evi-iitfu!  u  eeks  went  liy,  with  tlie  e.\cc|itions  of  the  daily  brawls 
;it  the  hut  in  Rogue's  Harlior.  They,  1  knew,  were  daily. 
Thev  were  as  much  a  part  of  the  atmosphere  as  the  smell  of 
the  .salt,  mud  and  sand,  the  clam-shells  drying  in  the  sun,  the

his  wont,  and  lh;il  he  e.ame  quite  frei|uently  to  Koffue's  Harhor 
and  ipiite  fic(|uently  talked  with  Judy.  At  the  lime  I  did  not 
connect  the  (iovernor  and  his  \isits  with  anythinj;  in  any  sense 
out  of  llie  usual.  He  was  a  Imsy  old  man,  I  tlionf;ht.  if  I

.Still  later  it  came  to  me,  in  divers  ways,  and  linally  thru  the 
l.ady  of  the  Roses,  that  the  (imernor's  fjr.andson,  Teddy,  h;id 
met  Judy  and  that  he  seemed  to  share  the  family  leaning;. 

I  came  into  closer  touch  with  the  wIkjIc  when  'I'eddy  l)e(,';ui

It  was,  perhaps,  merely  aj,'ain,  the  m.itter  of  conlrast.  Juily 
was  an  eidolon.  ;i  thiii};  of  dreams  and  dream-desires,  and 
Teddy  loved  her,  responded  to  her,  in  just  that  way. 

( )IIie,  poor  creature,  was  just  an  exponent,  and  a  very  un- 
tutored, very  uncontrolled,  very  crass  one,  of  .sex,  of  her  sex. 
There  was  a  man,  and  there  «as  a  woman,  and  there  was  a 
child;  there  was  a  marriage,  or  there  was  not  a  marriage,  ac- 
cording to  Ollie,  and  there  were  no  shades,  no  complexities  pro 
or  con.  There  ran  thru  her,  ]iartly  because  of  her  sex,  no 
doubt,  a  certain  dull  and  even  dread  persistency  called  loyalty. 


and  an  eipially  dull  bewilderment  and  helplessness  when  she 
discovered  no  such  trait  in  the  man  from  whom  she  had  dully, 
loo,  expecte<l  it — Jim.  It  was  not  Jim  Shuckles.  so  much,  who 
looked  after  ( )llic  now,  with  that  li,^du  in  his  eyes;  it  was  the 
father  of  Jim  Shuckles'  impending  child  .  .  .  and  Ollie's  world 
was  awry,  with  no  possibility  within  her  hori/on  of  .adjust- 
ment. 

It  has  come  to  me  fre(|uently  since,  and  specifically  in  con- 
nection with  Judy,  that  love,  the  essence  of  love,  must  be  a  con- 
structive element.  Judy  was  a  builder.  Her  whole  impulse 
was  one  to  rear  things,  and,  always,  toward  the  clouds  .  .  . 
She  had  the  quality  of  ]>atience,  too. 

She  must  have  ha<l,  because,  as  it  evolved  .iflcrward.  after 
ihe  day  of  the  ( jo\ernor's  narnju  ly  averted  death,  and  her  (jwn 
heroism,  heroically  displayed,  she  had  been  lighting  all  sorts 
of  almost  insuperable  elements,  having  to  bring  to  bear  upon 
them  the  wisdom  of  a  woman  and  the  wit  of  an  adventuress. 

It  is  ;in  ill  wind,  so  saith  an  .mcient  proverb,  and  the  day 
of  the  .ass.ault  on  the  (itjvcriKjr's  life  and  Ju<ly's  .saving  of  the 
same  had  the  efTect  of  the  heavy  mists  of  Rogue's  llarbqr 
lifting  and  revealing  ihe  hulls  and  the  masts  of  the  many  ships, 
secret  and  otherwise.  ;it  rest  in  that  same  harbor,  \erltably 
Rogue's  Harbor. 

It  resealed.  |irim.irily,  the  fact  that  there  w;is,  uithout  a 
doubt,  some  sort  of  secret  organization  in  the  town  operating 
.inarchistically.  It  must  have  come  to  Judy  on  tli;it  occasion 
that  Jim  .Shuckles  was  a  part  of  it.  The  ideas  connected  by 
some  sort  of  natural  inference,  called,  easily,  instinct.  Jim 
just  7i'(i.v  that  sort  of  person.  .\nd,  by  natural  inference,  too, 
it  must  have  come  to  Judy  that  this  very  connection  was  to  be 
some  sort  of  a  means  of  .sa\ing  ()llie,  who.se  poor  tragedy  was 
growing  daily  in  the  lives  of  all  of  them.  Judy  h.-icl  thai 
instinct,  exclusively  a  woman's. 

It  made    Teddy  know   how   much  he  loved  her,  too.     When 
he  saw  her  swinging  at  the  he;id  of  the  maddened  horses  to 
stop  them  on  their  mad  career,  he  knew  that  life  an<l  death 
were  duelling  .and  that  the  life  ;it 
stake  was  the  bre.ath  of  his  own. 
It    didn't    make    any    difference 
who  she  was,  or  what  her  rela- 
tionship to  the  (|ueer   peojile  at 
the  hut  at   Rogue's  Harb(jr  was. 
She  was  Jndy.     He  was  Teddy. 


"They've  been  meeting  in 
the  woods,"  she  told  me, 
"and  by  the  lakeside,  and 
when  and  where  they 
could.  They  must  always 
be  alone    .    .    ."

the  old-as-the-world  vows  happened  .    .    . 

Two  nights  after  the  attack 
on  the  Governor's  life  another 
attack  was  planned  by  Jim  Shuckles  and  his  fellows.  The 
Governor,  already  incapacitated,  was  to  be  spirited  away.  The 
whole  party  was  to  be  disrupted.  Power,  in  short,  was  to  be 
shifted.  The  plans  took  place  in  the  barn  at  Rogue's  Harbor, 
and  poor  Ollie,  ever,  these  days,  on  the  lone  trail  of  Jim,  over- 
heard them.  She  told  them  all  to  Judy,  because,  primarily, 
she  told  everything  to  Judy.  Judy  made  her  plans,  and,  her- 
self maneuvered  the  Governor  from  his  house,  to  a  boat,  and 
thence  to  the  cottage  of  the  Lady  of  the  Roses,  to  whom,  some- 
how or  other,  Judy  felt  all  who  were  weary,  or  sick,  in  danger 
or  in  doubt,  should  essentially  go. 

When  the  Governor  recovered  from  his  stupor  and  beheld 


the  Lady  of  the  Roses,  he 
gave  a  sort  of  cry,  a  ter- 
rible sort  of  cry  that  yet 
Tield  a  strange,  paradoxi- 
cal relief.  It  was  as  tho 
a  soul  long  tormented 
was  facing  an  ultimate, 
most  exquisite  torment 
before  some  sort  of  a 
Nirvana. 

"I've    felt    that   this 
would  come  to  me  for  a 
long  while,"  he  said.     "I 
told  my  son  only  yester- 
day that  I  could  not  give 
him  more  money  for  his 
senatorial  campaign  be- 
cause the  money — is  not 
mine  to  give.     Has  never 
been  mine  to  give.  It  .  .  ." 
He  looked  up  into  the  se- 
rene face  of  the  Lady  of 
the   Roses   and   the   slow 
(tears  gathered  in  his  eyes. 
"I  hate  to  take  from  you 
once  more,"  he  said,  brok- 
enly,   "the    serenity    you 
must  have  gained  at  such 
a  cost.     But  I  am  taking 
h  this  time,  I  know,  only 
to  give  it,  in  some  meas- 
ure,  back   to   you   again. 
My  dear,  when  your  hus- 
band went  away  so  many 
years  ago  and  did  not  re- 
turn— when  you  returned 
alone   and   I   had   to   ac- 
count    to    you     for    the 
moneys  that  had  been  en- 
trusted   to    me    and    the 
child  left  in  my  house — I 
lied." 

The  Lady  of  the  Roses 
started  violently.  Her 
lips  formed  the  word 
"child."  Involuntarily, 
Judy  moved  closer  to  her. 
Teddy,  in  the  background, 
was  watching  his  grand- 
father with  ani  absorption, 
half  fascinated,  half  ter- 
rorized. 

"I  lied,"  the  Governor 
was  saying,  thru  taut  lips ; 
"the  temptation  overcame 
me,  and  I  fell.  It  sounds 
deliberate.  It  sounds — monstrous.  I  know.  There  is  no 
alleviating  circumstance.  There  is  no  possible  condoning.  I 
was  young.  Shallow.  I  did  not  know  what  we  pay  for  joy 
and  what  we  mean  by  pain.  I  had  not  known  grief  nor 
death,  nor  love,  nor  any  of  these  things.  The  years  bring 
these.  It  took  a  great  many  to  bring  them  to  me.  I  told  you 
that  the  money  was  gone  and  the  child  was  dead.  I  made  it 
seem  real  beyond  all  shadow  of  a  doubt.  You  went  away  at 
once.  Later,  when  penitence  came  to  me,  I  could  not  find 
you.  You  seemed  to  have  vanished  from  the  general  surface 
of  the  earth  ..." 

"I  had,"  murmured  the  Lady  of  the  Roses,  and  all  the 
battle  with  pain  made  intolerable  her  face,  so  that  the  Gover- 
nor turned  from  it  with  a  groan. 

"There  is  no  expiation,"  he  said ;  "I  know  that.     I  cannot, 

no  matter  how  bitter  my  sorrow,  give  you  back  your  lost  years. 

I  cannot  give  you  back  your  baby.    I  can  give  you  back  your 

little  girl.    She  is  here.    Judy.    I  gave  her  to  her  grandfather

That  Irishman  From  Paris 


By   FREDERICK 


AN  Irishman  from  Paris 
— and  with  a  French 
accent !     Which  seems 

to    describe    George    Fitz- 

maurice,  the  director. 
For  Fitzmaurice  was 

bom   in   the    Parisian 

capital    of    true    Irish 

folk  from  the  south  of 

the    little     green     isle. 

Wanderers,   they   had 

made   their  home   in 

Paris.     It  was   early 

decided  to  train  young 

Fitzmaurice  for  the  dip- 
lomatic service  —  that 

goal  of  the  Continental 

youth — but    the    future 

director  decided  differ- 
ently 
Art   beckoned   and 

Fitzmaurice  decided  to 

be  a  painter.     He  studied 

and   was   graduated    from 

the   famous  Julien   School 

in  Paris.    Oddly,  two  years 

after    Fitzmaurice    left, 

Lionel  Barrymore  came  to  the 

same  place  to  study  art. 

Fitzmaurice  found  it  impos- 
sible to  pin   himself   down   to 
pigments    and    brushes,    and    the 
next  year  found  him  in  the  Far 
East.    "It  was  far  from  an  artis- 
tic career  that   I    fell   into,"   laughs 
Fitzmaurice  in  telling  it.    "I  became 
a  salesman  for  cotton,  jute,  hemp  and 
other  Eastern   products,   and    for 
nine  years  I  lived  in  India,  with 
visits  to  China,  Japan  and  Egypt 
to  break  the  monotony. 

"Then  I  wandered  back  to 
Occidental  civilization  and  the 
movies.    Six  years  ago  I  in- 
vaded pictures  with  Pathe, 
and  I  have  been  directing 
ever   since.     That's    the 
whole  story." 

Fitzmaurice  doesn't  tell 
his  own  tale  very  well. 
Beneath  the  bare  out- 
line are,  we  suspect, 
scores  of  colorful  ad- 
ventures —  but  Fitz- 
maurice simply  will 
not  talk  of  himself. 

Oddly,    this   varie- 
gated carefer  seems  to 
have  been  an  admir- 
able preparation   for 
the  screen.     For  Fitz- 
maurice  owes    his    re- 
markable ability  to  at- 
tain beautiful   pictures 
— admirable    in    light, 
shade   and   grouping — 
to    his    early    training 
as   a    painter,    just    as 

(Fortyteven) 


George  Fitzmaurice 
was  bom  in  Paris  of 
true  Irish  folk  from 
the  south  of  Ireland. 
It  was  early  decided 
to  train  young  Fitz- 
maurice for  the  dip- 
lomatic service.  But 
the  future  director 
decided  differently 


JAMES  SMITH 


Maurice    Tourneur    owes    his 
skill   in  the  same  field  to  the 
same     source.       Fitzmaurici^'s 
ability  to  create  atmosphere 
— as    in    Elsie    Fergijson's 
"Witness  for  the  Defense" 
— may  well  be  traced  to  his 
wanderings    thru    East- 
ern lands.     To  this  add 
the   director's   natural 
Irish  imagination  trained 
in  French  channels. 

Fitzmaurice  himself 
believes   that  diplomacy 
is   one   of   the   chief   re- 
quirements of  a  director, 
for,  as  he  says,  "stars  and 
players  require  delicate 
handling."      We    ask    if 
there    is    a    better    diplo- 
matic   combination   than 
Irish  and  French? 
Fitzmaurice  is  an  inter- 
esting  observer   of   the 
screen.     He  talked  vividly 
of  David  Griffith,  particu- 
larly of  the  beauty  of  scene 
attained    in    "Broken    Blos- 
soms" ;  of  Maurice  Tourneur 
and  his  rare  skill  as 
a    painter    of   the 
cinema;  of 
George 
Lo  an  e 
Tucker 
and  his 
d  i  s  re- 
gard for 
,    every- 
thing in  favor  of  the  story; 
of  Cecil  de  Mille  and  his  the- 
atrical viewpoint ;  and  of  King 
VidoT,  that  new  figure  on  the 
photoplay  horizon.     Of  them 
all,  Fitzmaurice  talked  frankly 
and  with  singular  discernment. 

"We  have  been  making  fine  strides  in  artistic  photography," 
he  remarked.  "Today  bad  camera  work  is  unforgivable.  The 
next  step  is  the  story." 

The  director  believes  that  a  star  is  something  of  an  essential 
to  a  big  drama.  "A  star — and,  by  a  star,  I  mean  a  player  made 
competent  by  long  training — is  of  infinite  value  as  an  organ  to 
iiiterpret.  The  star  is  an  instrument  upon  which  the  intelligent 
director  plays.  As  a  director  attains  prominence  it  becomes 
necessary  to  subordinate  the  star,  with  the  result  that  the  fea- 
tured director  must  use  new  and  unstarred — indeed,  frequently 
untried — material.  Naturally,  this  presents  added  difficulties. 
If  a  player  does  particularly  well,  he  or  she  immediately  slips 
away  to  stardom.  This  happened  recently,  for  instance,  with 
Constance  Binney  and  Violet  Heming.  The  road  of  the  fea- 
tured director  is  not  easy,  despite  the  apparent  ease  of  some 
directors,  as  Griffith  and  Tucker,  to  project  their  ideas  into 
young  players." 

En  passant,  it  is  interesting  to  note  the  camaraderie  of  Fitz- 
maurice and  his  wife,  known  to  the  scenario  world  as  Ouida 
Bergere.     "We  work  together  on  every  production,"  explains 
the  director.    "I  owe  a  lot  to  our  team  work."

studio  aid:  "I  need  a  ranch 
house  in  the  morning — get

adobe  house  in  three  stages

My  Dkak  Mr.  Smith  : 

Wher  I  read  your  wonderful 
letter  to  mc  in  reference  to 
"PoUyanna,"  I  was  so  deeply 
moved  that  the  tears  came  to  my 
eyes.  It  is  the  sweetest  tribute 
that  has  ever  heen  paid  to  me.  and 
one  which  I  sincerely  appreciate. 
I  am  Koing  to  keep  it  always  m 
my  trcasnre  box. 

1  had  almost  decided  not  to  im- 
personate^ any   more    children   on 
the  screen  hut.  since  your  letter,  1 
have  reconsidered  my  decision. 
Cordially  yours,

I'laiiker  and  franker  does  it  become  each  month  in 
dealinj;  with  that  eternal  theme — sex.  The  picture  ' 
])iuitan  may  lift  his  trembling  hands  in  horror,  but  we  sec 
the  photoplay  as  in  its  adolescent  i)eriod.  Tlie  screen 
drama  has  been  growing  and,  with  a  mighty  hurrah,  it  has 
just  discovered  sex. 

What  a  shock  Cecil  de  Mille's  latest  silken  orchidrama, 
"Why  Change  Your  Wife?,"    (Paramount),  would  have 
caused  hut  two  short  years  ago.     Not  that  this  latest  ruth- 
less c'liema  invasion  of  the  sacred  domain  of  tliey-lived- 
lappily-ever-after  will   not   provoke  comment.     It   will — 
decidedly.     Vor  De  Mille  starts  intimately  in  a  bath,  with 
htfliby  safety-razoring  and  wifey  trying  to  button  her  dress  > 
unaided,    and    zi|is    briskly    thru    matrimonial    boredom,  I

domestic  ennui,  a  second  divorce  and  remarriage  to  wife 
\emcmber  De  Mille's  "Why  Change  Your  Hus-  | 
l)and  ',"   in  which  he  i)ointed  the  moral  that  j 
divorce  is  rather  a  waste  of  time,  since  all  inen  j 
eat  onions,   forget  to  sliave  and  doze  ofif  to  i 
.sleep  directly  after  dinner?    Here  he  reverses  i 
the    sex    of    his    moral    and    shows   that    all 

wives But    we    pause.      Mr.    de    Mille 

makes  liis  point  with  more  adroit  grace.  He 
says,  in  brief,  wives  should  learn  when  to  be 
wives  and  when  to  be  sweethearts. 

We  verily  believe  "Why  Change  Your 
Wife?"  to  be  Mr.  de  Mille's  best  film  contri- 
bution. It  is  done  with  all  the  director's  luxii- 
riousness  of  method.  It  has  been  very 
smoothly  constructed  by  William  de  Mille 
yj~     1  and  gilded  with  subtitles  of  excellent  ex]ires- 

^    'V  sioii.       Moreover,     it     is     admirably     jjlayed. 

Thomas  Meighan  is  mere  man  to  the  life  as 
the   hu.sband  of   humanly   .shifting  afifections, 
while  Ciloria   .'swanson   sounds  a  deeper  note 
than   heretofore  as  the   first   wife.     I'ebe   Daniels   reveals   a 
subtlety  new  to   her  screen   playing  as   the  mannequin   who 
dazzles  the  bored  spouse. 

Turn  from  the  De  Mille  opus  in  divorce  and  marriage  to 
George  l'"itzmaurice's  production  of  "On  With  the  Dance," 
(Paramount),  a  de  luxe  excursion  into  the  gilded  sordidness 
of   Manhattan.     This   presents   a   new   Mae   Murray.     Miss 

Murray  has  long 
been  a  film  lumi- 
nary of  decided 
piquancy,  but 
her  dramatic 
ability  has  hard- 
ly extended 
above  the  knees.

piquant  and  dra-  '

Besides  developing  .a  most  remarkable  dramatic  note 
in  Miss  Murray.  >lr.  Fitzmaurice  selecte<l  a  capital

girl  of  society  and  David  Powell  furnishing  excellent

shallow  .'sonia.  This  photoplay — sweeping  from  the

amuses  itself,  to  its  ultimate  tinale  outside  the  Criminal 
Courts  Building,  crowded  with  photographers  of  the 
yellow  journals — stamps  Mr.  Fitzmaurice  as  a  director  of  the 
very  lirst  rank. 

Marshall  Neilan's  first  independent  production.  James  Oliver 
Curwood's  story  of  the  Canadian  mounted  police,  "The  River's 
End."  is  likely  to  be  very  popular,  because  it  is  an  effectively 
built  melodrama.  Basically,  it  plays  havoc  with  the  proba- 
bilities and  falls  down  in  an  even  casual  examination.  Death 
overtakes  a  jiolice  officer  after  he  has  pursued  and  captured 
his  man  in  the  Arctic  Circle.  The  captive,  who  by  one  of 
those  remarkable  coincidences,  looks  exactly  like  his  captor, 
assumes  the  uniform  and  jiersonality  of  the  dead  man  and 
returns  to  civilization.  There  he  meets  his  "sister"  and  falls 
in  love  with  her.  A  very  happy  conclusion  is  ultimately 
reached,  of  course.  What?  The  hero  wasn't  really  guilty  of 
the  crime?  Of  course  not.  A  death-bed  confession  of  the 
real  murderer  solves  everything. 

Lewis  Stone  does  the  two  roles — of  captor  and  captive — 
with  fine  virility.  A  corking  performance  it  is.  Marjorie 
Daw  is  cute — a  typical  screen  heroine.  Mr.  Neilan  had  a 
well-knit  continuity  to  work  with,  but  he  deserves  credit  in 

keeping   a   high 

note  of  suspense 

and    mystery 

thruout.      "The 

River's    End," 

with  all  its  weak- 
nesses, holds  you. 

The  early  Arctic 

Circle  scenes  do 

not    impress    us, 

but    Mr.    Neilan 

has    done    some 

brilliant  double- 
exposure  work — 

the  best   we  can 

recall  —  in   his 

scenes  with  Mr.

the  spirit  of  the  com- 
mercial reformer. 
How  he  came  by  it 
neither  God  nor  he  could 
tell.  And  where  it  came 
from  did  not  seriously 
annoy  him.  The  source 
of  things  was  of  little 
moment  to  Sylvester 
Tibbie.  There  were  so 
many  manifest  things  to 
be  immediately  attended 
to.  Actions  and  reac- 
tions, complexes  and 
analyses,  as  such,  were 
wholly  unknown  to  the 
energetic  Tibbie. 

He  had  been  energetic 
at  the  time  of  his  birth ; 
he  continued  to  be  ener- 
getic thruout  the  preca- 
rious span  of  his  boy- 
hood and  he  would  con- 
tinue energetic  until  the 
day  of  his  doubtless  pro- 
testing death. 

He  was  perpetually 
bursting  out  of  things,  in 
one  fashion  or  another. 
When  he  was  very  small 
indeed  he  burst  forth 
from  his  clothes  because 
of  surplus  fat  and  sur- 
plus energy.  When  he 
was  twenty-one  he  burst 
from  the  precincts  of 
the  home  farm  and  the 
home   town   because   his 

ideas  were  surplus  and,  e'en  as  his  infantile  fat,  energetic. 
Also,  analogous  to  the  fat  again,  his  ideas  were  concrete.  They 
centered  upon  making  money  and  they  super-centered  upon 
Uncle  Enoch  Jones,  who  operated,  rather  successfully  than

otherwise,  a  jug  factory  in  the  gold-paved  city  of  New  York. 
The  mere  fact  that  Uncle  Enoch  had  had  the  commercial 
wizardry  to  go  to  New  York  in  the  first  place  commended  him 
to  'Ves,  who  was  surrounded,  otherwise,  by  farm-abiding  rela- 
tives, rather  horribly  content. 

It  should  be  Uncle  Enoch,  a  fortune  and  jugs! 

There  was  little  or  no  poesy  to  Sylvester  Tibbie.  Uncle 
Enoch  did  not  appear  to  him  in  any  light  other  than  the  maker 
of  a  salable  and  highly  utilitarian  article,  upon  which  could 
be  hooked  ahd  fastened  the  brimming  zeals,  the  enthusiastic 
ideas  of  a  hitherto  unappreciated  Tibbie.  That  is,  he  had  no 
poesy  when  he  left  the  dear  old  farm  .  .  .  later  .  .  .  but  that 
is  later  .   .    . 

Uncle  Enoch,  approached  by  the  all  but  unknown  nephew, 
ruddy,  exuberant,  immensely  cordial,  did  not,  at  first  blush,  nor 
second,  either,  share  the  cordiality.  He  was  making  jugs  in 
his  own  way,  selling  them  in  his  own  way,  saving  his  income  in 
his  own  way.  That  it  was  an  antiquated  way  bothered  him 
not  at  all.'  It  was  his  way,  and  he  was  of  the  vast  majority  to 
whom  that  is  wholly  and  pleasingly  sufficient. 

To  begin  with,  he  did  not  believe  in  sweeping  out  an  office 
in  which  one  only  worked.    Sanitation  in  a  factory  where  jugs 


MOTION  PICTURE 


were  turned  forth  was  "new-fangled."'  There  seemed,  how- 
ever, on  the  first  day  of  young  Tibbie's  arrival,  to  be  no  help 
for  the  sweeping,  at  least.  Uncle  Enoch,  obscured  by  the 
clouds  of  the  dust  of  considerable  antiquity,  stood  by  and 
watched,  making  grim  and,  as  he  feared  within  him,  futile 
resolutions  to  make  quick  work  of  this  young  upstart  who  had 
had  the  ill  grace  to  be  his  sister's  child  and  then  foist  the  unde- 
sirable relationship  upon  an  old  man.  This,  then,  was  what 
the  cartoons  meant  by  pokes  at  one's  relatives  .  .  .  Enoch 
understood  .   .   . 

After  the  sweeping,  Sylvester  straddled  a  desk,  neatly  dusted 
and  oiled  by  the  hand  recently  self-released  from  the  plough- 
share, and  faced  Enoch,  still  inhaling  heavily  of  dust.  Sylvester 
be?an  to  talk. 

"This  is  only  the  beginning,"  he  said,  and  got  the  old  gentle- 
man a  chair  in  time  to  prevent  the  floor  from  receiving  his  com- 
plete collapse.     Sylvester  persisted.     "This  isn't  all,  just  the 
beginning,"  he  repeated.     "You  see.  Uncle  Enoch,  I've  ideas. 
You've  jugs  and  a  force  to  turn  'em  out.     I've  ideas,  and  the 
ideas  have  to  do  with  selling  the  jugs.    You're  not  selling  'em. 
I  kn'ow  that.     Comparative  statistics  prove  that.     How  can 
You're  not  up  to  date.    You're  letting  every  other  com- 
petitor you've  got,  and  you've  got  'em  by  the  fourscore,  put 
things  over  on  you.    You're  the  gimp  horse  in  the  race.    You're 
dead  from  the  eyes  up.    You've  got  a  crepe  on  your  efficiency. 
You're  stale.    You  haven't  even  got  a  telephone — I've  ordered 
one  installed.    You  haven't  even  got  typewriters.    I've  rectified 
that — ordered  half  a  dozen.    You  haven't  got  adding  machines, 
nor  stenographers,  nor  dictaphones,  nor  the  proper  operating 
staff.     I've  taken  care  of  that,  too.     When  these  details  are 
installed  I'll  go  out  on  the  road  for  you  and  see  what's  wrong 
with  the  out-of-town  trade.    Something  is — that's  flat.    You're 
not   getting  the   orders  the   Mills   Jug   Company   is   getting. 
You're  not  getting  half  the  orders  the  New  "Time  Jug  people 
are  taking  in,  nor  making  one  quarter  of  the  profits  out  o£ 
what  you  do  sell.     You're  on  a  freight  and  you're  being  done 
in  the  bargain.    You  leave  it  all  to  little  'Ves." 
Young  Tibbie  smiled,  by  way  of  encouragement. 
Uncle  Enoch  was  beyond  the  smile  and  quite 'beyond  en- 
couragement.    He  didn't  know  his  Ibsen  or  he  might  have  be- 
wailed, very  lustily,  the  fact  of  the  "younger  generation  knock- 
ing at  my  door."    He  did  assimilate  the  heresies  of  telephones, 
dictaphones,    stenographers   and   such   like   twentieth   century 
contraptions.     All  the  troubles  known  to  men  came  from  just 
these  ambiguous  and  wholly  distrustful  sources.     His  father 
had  not  done  business  in  such  a  fashion  up  in  Jaytown,  Pa. 
Did  this  young  radical  suppose  that  just  because  Enoch  Jones 
had  come  to  the  city  of  New  York  he  had  forsworn  the  ways 
of  his  forefathers,  the  honest.  God-fearing  ways?     Did  he? 
Because,  if  he  did,  he  would  learn  ...  he  would  .   .   . 

In  a  voice  that  quavered.  Uncle  Enoch  bade  the  undesirable 
relative  to  be  gone,  to  be  completely  and,  for  Uncle  Enoch, 
profanely  (]0»e.  In  a  word,  he  consigned  Sylvester  Tibbie  to 
a  most  thoro  annihilation. 

Sylvester  Tibbie  had  not  swept  for  nothing.  He  had  not 
come  to  New  York  for  nothing.  He  had  not  picked  upon 
Uncle  Enoch  Jones  for  nothing.     He  had  come  to  stay. 

He  told  Uncle  Enoch  so,  without  ire  and  even  with  a  certain 

patience.    He  bore  with  him  ;  that  was  manifest.    He  had  come 

that   morning,  unheralded  and  certainly  unasked,  and  Uncle 

Enoch  had  been  there,  among  the  dust  and  jugs, 

for  nigh  onto  half  a  century,  but  that  was  an 

inconside»able  part  of  the  whole,  which  was  the 

renovation  of  the  Jones  Jug  Factory  and  the 

innovation  of  the  fortunes  of  Sylvester  Tibbie. 

Promising,  with  unnecessary  kindliness  and 

forethought,  to  report  promptly  for  work  in  the 

morning  and  observing  that  he  would  now  go 

forth,  to  seek  a  night's  lodging, 

the  son  of  tKe  sister  of  Enoch 

Jones  fared  forth. 

Not  at  once,  however,  to  seek 
a  night's  lodging.  Reading  effi- 
ciency manuals  and  economics 
and  the  Laws  and  By-Laws  of 

(Fifty-four) 


The  people  who  lounged 
about  McGaTnmon's 
that  night  looked  on  at 
the  dawning  of  first 
love,  of  young  love,  of 
love  when  love  is  new 


CLASSIC 


Commercialism  was  not  all  the  reading  young  Tibbie  had 
done  in  his  clean-swept  room  at  the  home  farm.  He  had  read, 
too,  of  the  cabarets  of  New  York,  the  dancing  girls,  the  wine 
and  laughter  and  lure.  He  had  read,  approvingly.  One  of 
the  things  he  had  come  to  New  York  for  was  to  dance  and  to 
laugh  and  to  live.  He  had  mapped  it  all  out.  He  would  seek 
love  as  he  would  seek  his  fortune,  applying  principles  of  effi- 
ciency and  system. 

Of  course,  it  did  not  happen  to  him  as  he  had  planned  it — 
love.  Almost  always  this  is  so,  of  others  than  Sylvester 
Tibbie.  It  happened  to  him  suddenly,  with  an  almost  violent 
abruptness.  It  happened  to  him  deliciously  and  accidentally, 
and  like  this : 

The  first  cabaret  he  saw  he  went  into,  and  the  first  cabaret 
happened  to  be  rather  a  rough  sort  of  place  known  familiarly 
as  McGammon's.  The  attraction  at  McGammon's  happened, 
that  season  and  that  fateful  night,  to  be  Junie  Budd,  a  very 
young  thing  with  limbs  like  a  flying  dryad's  and  a  face  like  the 
name  she  bore.  She  was  very  young  and  very  sweet  and  very 
untouched,  and  the  gods  had  surely  kist  her  pink,  arched  feet 
and  put  that  abandon  of  grace  into  the  curves  of  her  body. 
Sylvester,  not  being  poetical  until  still  later,  did  not  note  these 
details  as  details.  He  did  note,  however,  that  the  music — or 
was  it  something  more? — quickened  the  pulse  of  his  heart 
almost  unbearably,  that  he  felt  oddly  short  of  breath  and  that 
there  was  a  dizziness  in  his  head  and  a  coldness  in  his  hands 
heretofore  unknown  to  him.  He  tried  his  efficiency  formulas 
and  they  fell  flat.  He  tried  to  think  of  Uncle  Enoch  and  the 
jug  outfit  and  tomorrow's  regimen  and  found  that  all  he  could 
see  was  a  pair  of  limbs,  flying  and  fleet  and  sweet ;  all  he  could 
hear  was  the  hula-hula  of  the  music.  It  was  uncommonly 
queer. 

Then  the  thing  itself  happened.  Junie  Budd  stopped 
dancing.  There  was  a  commotion  above  which  her  voice  rose, 
clear  as  a  bell,  resentful,  full  of  tears.  Sylvester  knew  what 
one  did  then.  His  head  cleared  and  he  made  the  platform  upon 
which  they  danced  with  a  bound.  Junie's  partner,  it  seemed, 
had  kist  her,  full  upon  the  mouth,  and  this  was  in  no  sense  a 
part  of   the   program.     Junie   was   "pertikeler,"   and   "What

pomt  she  was  rubbmg  savagely 

at  the  pink,  assaulted  mouth,  and 
Sylvester  found  himself  consid- 
ering, with  the  queer  new  undercurrent  of  thinking  he  ha< 
developed  in  the  past  fifteen  minutes,  that  that  pink,  hur 
mouth  was  the  loveliest  thing  he  had  ever  seen ;  lovelier,  even 
than  the  pink  anemones  in  the  woods  at  home  with  the  first  o 
the  spring. 

The  thing  to  be  done  was  to  dispose  with  two  fists  of  thi 
unspeakable  villain  who  had  done  the  more  than  unspeakabl 
wrong  and,  this  done,  with  dispatch,  and  being  nothing  ver 
new  to  McGammon's,  the  music  was  resumed.  Junie  signified 
'Ves  didn't  quite  know  how,  that  she  wouldn't  at  all  mind  dancinj 
with  him.  'Ves  had  never  done  much  dancing  before,  but  al 
that  mattered  to  him  was  the  face  of  Junie  Budd,  and  he  fel 
in  love  with  her  then  and  there,  and  the  people  who  loungec 
about  McGammon's  that  night  looked  on  at  the  dawning  o: 
first  love,  of  young  love,  of  love  when  love  is  new,  and  knew 
that  their  hearts  beat  in  their  breasts  with  a  different  rhythm 
knew  that  their  eyes  filled  with  unconscious  and  uncalled  foi 
tears,  knew  that  they  wanted  to  see  this  over  and  over,  agair 
and  again,  so  that  they  might  walk  forth  into  the  greyness  ol 
the  unlovely  street  and  never  see  the  greyness  nor  mind  th( 
unloveliness ;  but  they  did  not  know  why.  They  did  tell  Mc- 
Gammon  what  they  wanted,  tho,  in  various  ways  and  with 
various  reasons,  and  they  told  it  so  variously  and  so  emphatic- 
ally that  McGammon  made  Junie  and  'Viss  a  joint  propositior 
to  take  immediate  effect  and  Junie  and  'Ves  accepted. 

They  did  not  quite  know,  themselves,  what  had  happened 
to  them  that  night.  It  had  come  so  strangely,  so  unexpectedly 
so  keenly  and  sweetly.  They  knew  that  they  wanted  to  b< 
together ;  that  they  could  not  bear  to  part.  They  knew  that 
they  were  happy  when  they  were  dancing  together  and  inex- 
plicably sad  when  their  arms  fell  asunder  and  the  music  ebbed 
low.  They  knew  that  they  did  not  see  just  as  they  had  seer 
before ;  that  there  was  a  different  meaning  than  there  had  been 
the  day  before.    They  did  not  know  quite  yet  that  it  was  love. 


MOTION  PICTURE 


He  called  Enoch  Jones  a 
few  hard  but  understand- 
able names  and  produced 
from  every  pocket  his 
wearing  apparel  boasted 
contracts  secured  by  him 
on  his  trip 


falling 
Budd. 


That  night  Junie  took  'Ves 
home  with  her  and  introduced 
him,  palpitantly,  to  Ma  Budd. 
Ma  took  roomers  and  was  will- 
ing, having  a  vacancy,  to  include 
Sylvester  Tibbie,  "with  refer- 
ences." Sylvester  was  efficient 
enough  to  have  equipped  himself 
with  these.  He  had  foreseen 
almost  all  contingencies  save  the  entirely  marvelous  one  of 
in  love — and,  of  all  marvelous  persons,  with  Junie 
To  tliink  that  he  should  have  picked  out  Junie  Budd! 
It  was,  he  knew,  with  a  reverent  and  deep  conviction,  nothing 
less  than  a  dispensation  from  heaven. 

Late  that  night  poesy  entered  the  soul  of  Sylvester  Tibbie 
and  he  inscribed  his  first  perfervid  sonnet  to  "Beautiful  Junie 
Budd." 

In  the  morning  he  knew  that  he  was  in  love. 
So  did  she. 

Before  they  danced,  that  same  evening,  at  McGammon's  he 
told  her  of  his  love,  and  she  admitted  hers,  and  the  mutual  con- 
fession ended  in  the  first  kiss  and  the  promise  of  the  finest 
engagement  ring  in  the  town. 

On  the  way  home  from  McGammon's  'Ves  told  Junie  all 
about  Uncle  Enoch  and  the  jug  factory  and  the  reforms  he 
was  instituting  and  was  going  to  institute  in  order,  altru- 
istically enough,  to  make  Uncle  Enoch  and  the  jugs  efficient 
and,  quite  incidentally,  to  make  the  gold  and  glittering  fortune 
of  one  Sylvester  Tibbie.  Junie  Budd  listened  and  believed. 
The  jugs  and  the  efficiency  principles  were  all  rather  vague, 
but,  outstanding  and  startling,  was  the  great  fact  of  the  great- 
ness of  Sylvester  Tibbie.  It  was,  to  her,  a  manifest  fact,  and 
she  told  him  so.  Further  proof  of  his  greatness  consisted  in 
the  fact  that  he  put  the  idea  of  greatness  modestly  from  him — 
it  was  nothing  much,  he  gtiessed,  to  come  fresh  from  a  farm 
and  place  factories  and  factory  owners  and  labor  situations 


and  out-of-town  trades  upon  a  speedy  efficiency  basis 
.  .  .  nothing  much  as  he  could  see — it  was  just  him,  that  was 
all  .  .  .  just  Sylvester  Tibbie.  He  happened,  wonderfully  or 
otherwise,  to  be  made  like  that. 

Perhaps  the  world  was  hungry,  after  the  war,  for  the  lighter 
flowers  of  lighter  things.  Perhaps  it  was  just  the  inborn  desire 
everywhere  to  see  young  love  and  young  life  winged  on 
dancing  feet.  Whatever  the  reason,  Junie  Budd  and  'Ves 
danced  their  way  to  fame.  Once  again  'Ves  burst  bonds. 
McGammon's  could  not  hold  them  once  the  tales  of  their  light- 
some steps  became  noised  abroad.  Offers  came  in  and  they 
danced,  finally  and  triumphantly,  in  the  Garden  of  Roses,  the 
most  famous  and  the  most  exclusive  of  the  popular  cabarets. 

Junie  would  have  been  content  just  to  dance  and  love,  but 
there  was  a  real  sense  of  commercialism  in  Sylvester.  "They 
want  us  because  we're  so  darned  young,"  he  told  Junie,  "and 
so  much  in  love.  Both  these  things  show,  honey-girl.  That's 
what  the  people  are  coming  to  see.  That's  what  they  want, 
even  tho  they  haven't  the  sense  to  name  it.  That  wont  last — 
— the  youth  part  of  it — and  they  wont  want  to  see  the  love 
part  when  the  youth  part  isn't  there.  Then  .  .  .  where  will 
we  be  ?  We  wont  save  money  at  this  rate.  People  living  this 
sort  of  life  just  dont,  just  cant.  And,  anyway  ...  I  dont 
want  to  have  you  keep  on  dancing  for  other  folks  to  see  ...  I 
want  you  to  dance  over  green  lawns  and  wild  flowers  ...  in 
the  morning  ...  in  the  moonlight  .  .  .  for  me  .  .  .  alone 
.   .   .  honey  ..." 

''Why  .  ;  .  why,  'Ves,"  whispered  Junie  Budd,  resting  her 
young,  pink  face  against  his  sleeve,  "I  ...  I  didn't  know  you

"I'm  not,"  said  'Ves. 

"But  .   .   .  just  now  .V.   .  " 

"I'm  a  lover  .   .    .  that's  why  ..." 

'Ves  danced  at  night  and  by  day  he  persisted  in  his  ths^jikless 
job  of  modernizing  the  down-sliding  Jones  Jug  Factory.    He

tired  the  star  salesman  when  he  found  that  he  had  been  looting 
the  firm  via  his  much-inflated  expense  account,  and  he  man- 
aged, with  much  effort  and  a  great  deal  of  abuse,  to  smuggle 
in  the  typewriters  and  the  telephones.  The  stenographers  were 
still  in  abeyance,  owing  to  a  slight  consideration  for  the  apo- 
plectic tendencies  of  Uncle   Knoch. 

Then,  one  night,  after  dancing  at  the  Garden  of  Roses,  he 
met  James  Harkins,  a  jug  manufacturer,  and  his  extremely 
up-to-date  and  talkative  sister,  Dorothy.  Harkins  was  willing 
to  talk,  and  from  the  talk  of  both  of  them  'Ves  gleaned  his 
great  idea  for  merchandizing  the  Jones  Jug.  It  meant  a  trip 
on  the  road  and,  before  the  trip,  it  meant  a  great  many  talks 
with  the  Harkinses,  both  brother  and  sister,  to  accumulate  data 
and  gain  information.  It  meant,  analogously,  seeing  consider- 
ably less  of  Junie  Budd,  who  simply  could  not  talk  jugs  nor 
get  the  ins  and  outs  of  efficiency.  Seeing  less  of  Junie  Budd 
meant  an  aching  loneliness  to  'Ves,  but  it  meant  to  Junie, 
Dorotlw  Harkins.  She  had  always  suspected  that  'Ves  was 
far  too  wonderful  a  person  to  have  loved  her,  and  now  this 
commanding  young  woman,  with  the  statistics  of  jugs  at  her 
very  fingertips,  was  going  to  prove  the  horrid  fact  to  'Ves 
himself.  Junie  skidded  completely  away  on  the  idea.  She  told 
'Ves  she  was  certain  of  it.  She  told  him  not  to  mind  her ;  her 
heart  could  break,  but  her  feet  should  go  on  dancing  .  .  . 
and  dancing  .  .  .  and  dancing  .  .  .  forever  and  ever  and  .  .  . 
at  which  juncture  her  poignant  grief  conquered  her  and  she 
wept  out  her  heartbreak  and  gave  him  back  his  ring  and  sent 
him  forth  on  his  trip,  puzzled,  distraught,  more,  however,  than 
feverishly  anxious  to  make  good  that  he  might  dazzle  Junie's 
baby  blue  eyes  with  a  more  than  magnificent  diamond.  She 
was  a  child,  God  bless  her,  a  baby,  and  as  a  child  and  a  baby 
bright  things  should  be  dangled  before  her  to  bring  her  back 
to  his  heart  .   .  .  in  the  meantime  .   .  .  there  were  the  jugs  .  .  . 

It  took  'Ves  two  months  to  do  what  he  wanted  to  do,  and 
when  he  returned  to  New  York  it  was  spring  again  and  it  was 
night-time  .  .  .  such  a  time  and  such  a  night  as  the  first  one 
upon  which  he  had  met  Junie  Budd  and  danced  with  .  .  .  and 
loved  her  .  .  .  and  made  a  host  of  people  to  dream  while  their 
lips  grew  wistful  and  their  eyes  grew  dim  with 
tears  .   .   . 

He  had  not  heard  from  Junie  since  the  night 
she  had  sobbed  out  her  farewell  to  him,  but 
she  had  said,  then,  that  she  would  keep  on 
dancing  and  dancing  .  .  .  forever  and  ever 
.  .  .  and  .so  he  sought  her  in  the  Garden  of 
Roses. 

She  was  dancing  there,  but,  he  saw  at  once, 
not  as  she  had  danced  before  .    .    .  with  him. 
There  was  life  in  her  young  grace,  but  the  love 
had  gone  from  the  life  and  the  pulse  from  the 
flesh.    And  the  people,  too,  they  were  sipping 
their  wine  .  .  .  smoking  ... 
only  casually  .   .   .  only  oc- 
casionally   did    their    eyes 
rest  on   the  girl   and  man 
dancing  on  the  stage  .   .    . 
'Ves   heard   one   man 
say,   ''Curious    .    .    . 
she  used  to  get  you  like 
a  heartache  that  you 
wanted  to  keep  on  feel- 
ing .  .  .   Not  now  .  .  . 
deader  than  a  door- 
nail. Management's 
to  can  them,  I  hear." 

This    was    too 


"Will  you  marry  a 
dancin'  fool,  Junie?" 
the  young  lover 
asked,  "and  .  .  .  the 
present  partner  and 
future  outright 
owner  of  the  Jones 
Jugs,  Incorporated 
.    .   .  will  you?" 

(Fifty-uvtH) 


much  for  'Ves.  It  was  loo  much  for  him  to  look  on  at  his 
dancing  dryad  with  all  the  fervors  gone  from  her  pretty  limbs, 
He  made  the  stage  as  he  had  made  it  once  before,  months 
ago,  seized  her  in  his  arms  and  gave  the  assembled  crowd 
the  lure  and  lilt  they  had  missed,  not  knowing  why  .  .  .  And 
they  hadn't  forgotten  him.  They  hadn't  forgotten  ner.  Thej 
hadn't  forgotten  the  pair  of  them  together.  They  didn't  know 
that  the  quick  gasp  of  her  breath,  the  exultant  leap  of  ner  younj 
body,  the  ecstatic  sway  and  song  of  them  was  because  sh« 
hadn't  known  .  .  .  because  her  heart  had  been  breaki.ig  .  .  . 
because  young  love  had  come  to  her  again  .  .  .  made  th« 
world  a  dream  new  .  .  .  they  knew  they  were  getting:  whai 
they  wanted,  and  they  told  the  young  couple  so  with  cheers  am 
cries  and  welcomes  and  bravos  .  .  . 
There  was  one  table  on  the  floor 
silent  in  the  midst  of  the  general 
hubbub.  Grouped  about  that  table 
were  the  Har- 
kinses. brother

To  our  way  of  thinking, 
the  big  cinema  mo- 
ment of  the  late  win- 
ter occurred  when  a  cer- 
tain movie  magnate  signed 
up  a  certain  internationally 
famous  author.  When  the 
author  had  affixed  his  sig- 
nature to  the  document, 
the  producer  genially 
slapped  him  on  the  back 
and  said  encouragingly: 

"I  have  faith  in  you — 
I'm  sure  you'll  make 
good !"

"Do  you  know  a  chap  named  Jenks?  He

"Is  Pearl  White  really  married?" 

"Say — got  a  job  for  an  interviewer — I  wantta

"Can  you  tell  me  the  name  of  a  picture  I  saw 
last  year?    It  had  the  cutest  little  dog  in  it." 

"Can  you  use  a  picture  of  an  awfully  pretty 
girr  I  know  ?  She's  crazy  to  go  in  the  movies — 
and  a  picture'd  help." 

"Do  you  buy  scenarios?  I've  just  written  one 
for  Nazimova." 

"I  sent  in  an  article  yesterday.  How'd  you 
like  it?    What'll  you  pay  me  if  you  take  it?" 

"Can  I  have  the  picture  of  Mary  Pickford 
you  ran  in  your  April  issue  of  last  year? 

"Where  does  Dick  Barthelmess  live?  I'm  a 
great  friend  of  a  cousin  of  his." 

"Thanks  for  that  interview  you  ran  with 
Mary  Jones.     I  want  you  to  have  lunch  w-ith  me  some  day" 

"We've  just  put  in  a  motion  picture  machine  in  our  church. 
Will  you  get  us  some  free  films  for  it?  We'd  like  to  have 
'Broken  Blossoms'  for  next  Wednesday  night.'' 

"You  didn't  use  a  bit  of  my  press  stuff  in  your  last  issues. 
Do  ya  wantta  get  me  canned?" 

"VVhat  do  you  do  with  all  your  pictures  after  you 
get  thru  with  them  ?" 

"Say,  will  you  use  a  picture  of  Lew  Cody?    I  think 
he's  the  dearest  thing." 

"You  cut  my  article  all  to  blazes.     You're  a  cold 
hearted  editor,  you  are."

The  moonlight  swim  of 
Connie  Talmadge  in  "Two

Mae  Murray's  cabaret 
moments  in  "On  With  the 
Dance." 


Our  idea  of  far-fetched  com- 
parisons occurs  in  a  recent 
Lewis  J.  Selznick  advertise- 
ment, which  compares  the  qual- 
ity of  Selznick  productions  to 
the  quality  which  "impresses 
you  on  every  hand  in  the 
stately  mansion  of  George 
Washington  at  Mount  Ver- 
non." Pretty  soon  some  ambi- 
tious press  agent  is  going  to 
compare  somebody  else's 
pictures  to  Grant's  Tomb. 


The  "piquant  photoplay" 
is  still  striving  for  piquancy. 
A    recent    Constance    Tal- 
madge comedy  carries  this 
advertising  line:     "A  tale 
of    wild     men    and     wild 
women  in  a  wild  city."    A 
picture  of  an  elderly  gentle- 
man   examining    a    cutie's 
right    shoulder-blade    car- 
ries   this   message:    "Ye   gods! 
The  old  fossil  thinks  he's  a  sin- 
ner !"    And  the  advertising  man 
sums    it   all    up   in    this   choice 
phrase:    "What  if  it  does  make 
'em    blush  —  your    theater    is 
dark  I" 


With  the  recluse  "Blue  Bird"  philosopher, 
Maeterlinck,  "supervising  productions"  at  the 
Goldwyn  coast  studios;  the  "Pollyanna" 
writer,  Doc  Crane,  dashing  off  a  super- 
feature.  Art  (capital  A,  please),  has 
certainly  entered  the  scenario  end  of  the 
business  with  a  vengeance.

GROWTH 
By  Barbara  Hollis 

I've  grown  away  from  you  I  know, 
I  tried  to  take  you  too ; 
But  you  cried  out,   "Come  back  to  me !" 
And  that  I  cannot  do. 

I  hoped  it  might  not  matter,  dear, 
Till  in  your  grieving  eyes 
I  saw  that  you  were  lost  to  me — 
Could  It  be  otherwise? 

Life    holds    its    compensations — true — 
A   crown   for  every  cross; 
Yet  can  the  sad  ^weet  joy  of  growth 
Make  up  for  bitter  loss?

LOST  KISSES 
By  Eleanor  Hammond 

You  kist  me.  and  the  sea  wind  blew  away 
The  ki.ss  and  lost  it  in  the  whirling  .spray. 
A  nautilus  came  drifting  in  from  sea — 
It  was  your  kiss  blown  back  to  me. 

Yoii  kist  me  where  the  summer  breezes  pass ; 
We  lost  the  kiss  amont;  the  wind-blown  grass. 
And  as  we  jjighed,  we  saw  it  Huttcr  by — 
A  little  yellow  butterfly. 

And  once  beneath  a  sky  of  amethyst 
Almost  your  lips  touched  mine,  almost  we  kist. 
The  night  wind  stole  the  kiss  and  tossed  it  far — 
It  blossomed  as  a  little  st'.r.

You  jot  down  a  memorandum— 
instantly  eyes  are  attracted  to 
your  hands.  Instantly  a  judg- 
ment of  you  is  formed,  based  upon 
the  appearance  of  your  nails. 

Eyes  follow  a  moving  object  auto- 
matically; follow  it  as  inevitably  as 
they  blink  when  something  suddenly 
flies  towards  them.  This  is  why  they 
are  so  often  fastened  on  your  finger 
tips. 

Notice  today  and  count  the  num- 
ber of  times  someone  glances  at 
your  nails. 

People  no  longer  excuse  unsightly 
hands.  For  it  is  generally  known 
that  nowadays  well-kept  nails  are 
simply  a  matter  of  a  little  care. 

However  busy  you  might  be,  how- 
ever hard  you  might  use  your  hands, 
you  need  never  be  ashamed  of  your 
finger  nails.  It  requires  only  a  few 
minutes  of  the  right  kind  of  care 
once  or  twice  a  week  to  keep  them  in 
perfect  condition.  But  be  sure  it  is 
the  right  kind  of  care. 

The  safe  and  satisfactory  method 
of  caring  for  the  cuticle  is  softening 
and  wiping  away.  This  is  easily 
done  by  the  use  of  Cutex,  the  pure 
liquid  cuticle  remover. 

The  simple  Cutex  method  of  mani- 
curing takes  less  time  than  the  old 
pauiful  cutting  of  the  cuticle,  and 
it  ;s  absolutely  harmless.  Cutex  Nail 
White  and  Nail  Polish  complete  a 
perfect  manicure.

You  will  be  astonished  at  the  won- 
derful results  from  one  Cutex  mani- 
cure. Repeated  once  or  t\yice  a 
week,  it  will  keep  your  nails  in  per- 
fect condition. 

Cutex  can  be  obtained  at  every

])lii)t()f;r;i|ili  ever  taken 
hecnii-ie  slie  wants  them  all  to  gaze  upon 
and  dream  and  croon  over  wlien  Pauline 
leaves  for  a  home  of  lier  own. 

That  did  look  as  if  Polly  had  expecta- 
tions matrimonial.  I  asked  her  about  it 
first  thing. 

The  girl  laughed  merrily.  "I  dont 
want  to  marry  until  I  am  twenty-five,  it's 
such  fun  to  live  and  work  and  travel 
about.  But  a  fortune-teller  told  me  I 
would  marry  next  year — and  I'm  awfully 
excited  about  that." 

A  cynical  visitor  happened  to  be  there 
and  withered  Polly's  orange-blossom 
hopes  with  the  cold  wind  of  mistrust  and 
disappointment. 

"I  hope  you  fare  better  than  I  do!" 
quoth  the  mere  male.  "Tivo  fortune- 
tellers told  me  I  would  marry  very 
young,  and  at  the  end  of  twenty  years 
I'm  still  doing  monologs!" 

"She  might  not  have  understood  her 
business,"  answered  pretty  Polly,  pep- 
fully. 

"There  isn't  anything  I  love  quite  so 
much  to  do  as  to  dance,"  went  on 
Pauline.  "But  I  ruined  my  lovely  new 
ball-gowu' — just  think,  my  very  first  ball- 
gown  " 

"Pauline,  I  cant  think  how  you  man- 
aged to  do  it,"  interrupted  her  mother. 
Then,  explanatorily,  "Pauline  went  to 
her  first  big  ball  this  month — the  direc- 
tors' ball.  She  wore  a  debutante  frock, 
American  Beauty  velvet,  very  simply 
made — not  one  of  those  matronly  looking 
dccollett's,  but " 

"Why,  mother,  you  know  it  hasn't  a 
thing  hut  shoulder-straps.  You're  begin- 
ning to  describe  it  as  if  it  had  a  high 
neck,"  chimed  in  Polly. 

"I  dont  know  how  it  is  that  young 
girls  now  think  of  nothing  but  clothes — 
I  get  so  sick  of  hearing  clothes,  clothes, 
at  the  studio,  and  Pauline's  vagaries 
nearly  drive  her  tailor  crazy.  He  always 
says,  'Pauline,  you  know  what  you  want, 
but  you  never  know  how  hard  it  is  to 
make  it  your  way^you  drive  me  in- 
sane !'  "  Mrs.  Starke  sighed  in  a 
motherly  sort  of  fashion. 

"\'ou  should  see  my  trick  frock — for 
the  street !''  Pauline  didn't  wait  for  a 
second  invitation  when  I  begged  her  to 
show  it  off. 

Miss  Starke  is  very  original.  She 
designs  everything  she  wears.  More- 
over, she  wont  study  fashion  bocjks,  even 
when  the  tailor  flourishes  them  hopefully 
under  her  straight  little  nose. 

"1  think  Pauline  may  be  quite  a  de- 
signer after  a  while,"  continued  Mrs. 
.^^tarke,  while  Polly  dove  headfirst  into 
her  clothes  closets.  "Just  now  every- 
thing she  does  seems  freakish  to  me.  I 
dont  see  any  particular  reason  for  turn- 
ing the  world  tojisy-turvy  the  way  she 
does,  there  are  so  many  jiretty  fashions 
in  the  windows  and  books," 

"Here  is  my  trick  skirt — see,  I  wraji 
myself  into  it  this  way."  I  dont  wonder 
the  tailor  gets  excited.  The  skirt  begins 
as  a  .semi-circle,  slopes  oiT  into  a  long

twice  around  the  slim 
hips  to  form  a  double  overskirt,  with 
dro])  underneath,  and  just  one  little  tape 
holds  the  lower  part  together  with  a 
snap  fastener.  Skirt  edges  and  coat  are 
finished  with  binding  of  black  leather.  A 
bright  little  vest,  fastening  in  the  back, 
adds  color  to  the  blue  suit. 

"You  didn't  finish  telling  me  about  the 
ruined  ball  dress,"  I  reminded, 

"Oh,  to  be  sure.  Jack  Pickford  and 
I  were  doing  all  .sorts  of  exhibition 
dancing,  and  I  think  the  knees  of  his 
black  trousers  must  have  interfered  with 
my  velvet  skirt,  for  it  shows  long  black 
streaks,  like  dye. 

"I  had  a  perfectly  thrilling  experience 
today.  Jack  had  his  new  aeroplane  on 
the  lot  and,  when  I  said  some  day  I 
wanted  to  go  up  in  it,  he  proposed  my 
going  right  off  with  his  pilot,  I  couldn't 
do  stunts,  becau.se  they  wont  let  you  do 
that  unless  the  owner  goes  along." 

Pauline  drives  her  mother  out  to  Cul- 
ver City  daily  in  her  Buick  coupe.  She's 
doing  .Melissa  in  "The  Little  Shepherd 
of  Kingdom  Come" — not  much  of  a  part, 
but  a  fill-in  until  her  own  feature  is  pro- 
duced at  the  Goldwyn  plant. 

Before  that,  she  played  the  younger 
sister  in  "Eyes  of  Youth,"  but  much  of 
the  role  was  cut  out  owing  to  the  enor- 
mous amount  of  film  con.sumed.  In 
"Soldiers  of  Fortune,"  under  Alan 
Dwan,  Polly  fared  well.  Then  she  is 
showing  in  "Broken  Butterfly,"  with 
Maurice  Tourneur's  direction,  and  "The 
Life  Line,"  which  forces  her  to  be 
mother  to  a  four-year-old  daughter,  a 
part  opposite  to  the  screen  Lothario, 
Lew  Cody.  Pauline  has  had  to  weep 
thru  so  many  of  these  abandoned  girl 
storie.s — always  she  is  the  Injured  Inno- 
cent. 

"Will  you  keep  on  with  that  sort  of 
stuff?" 

■"I  like  best  to  play  the  part  of  the  very 
poor  little  girl  who  works  hard,  or  meets 
somebody,  and  who  gets  very  wealthy 
and  is  happy  forever  after,"  said  Pauline 
Starke,  enthusiastically.  That's  natural, 
of  course,  for  Pauline's  own  life  has 
been  a  development  of  the  chrysalis  into 
a  beautiful  butterfly — a  shedding  of  limi- 
tations and  achievement  of  home,  for- 
tune and  many  friends. 

Her  home  is  really  beautiful.  There 
are  soft  chairs,  much  mulberry-colored 
velvet,  lots  of  cushions,  all  showing  up 
well  against  the  grey  rug.  Mahogany 
catches  high-lights  from  the  various  gas- 
heating  devices,  one  being  an  open  grate 
with  gas-logs.  There  are  very  odd  lamps 
with  subdued  shades,  not  a  glaring  light 
anywhere,  and  the  canary  cage  has  a 
ruffled  arrangement  of  dark  green  silk 
like  the  window  drapes.  The  canary  is  I 
Polly's  only  pet,  and  he  fights  her  : 
viciously,  to  her  immense  gratification 
and  niirthfulness.  However,  he  does 
sing  night  and  day,  which  is  all  a  canary 
is  su|i]iosed  to  do. 

Pauline   herself   is   never  quiet.      She

HOW  TO  FIGHT  THE  LITTLE  FOES  WHICH 
WORK  TO  MAR  YOUR  SKIN 


YO  U  K  complexion  is  sur- 
roiindfd  by  enemies — There  is 
tlial  inward  enemy  that  sliines  the 
face.  There  is  the  tricksy  breeze 
that  dries  and  dulls  the  unprotected 
skin.  There  is  dust  that  clogs  the 
pore*. 

Be  always  on  your  guard  against 
their  wiles. 

PKPOSURE  to  wind,  sunlight 
and  dust  coarsens  your  .skin. 
Skin  specialists  say  that  you  can 
protect  your  complexion  from  this 
Injury  by  applying  a  protective 
cream  before  every  outing. 

Of  course  you  cannot  apply  a 
cold  cream  before  going  out — cold, 
cream  leaves  your  face  too  oily. 

Lightly  touch  your  face  and 
hands  with  Pond's  I'anishing 
Cream.  It  is  made  precisely  for 
daytime  and  evening  use.  It  has 
not  a  bit  of  oil  in  it,  so  it  cannot 
make  your  face  shine. 

In  this  way  you  can  keep  your 
face  appealingly  soft  and  smooth 
no  matter  how  much  time  you 
spend  out  of  doors. 

VOU  never  can  tell  when  that 
treacherous  enemy,  an  ugly 
glisten,  will  creep  upon  you  un- 
awares and  make  you  look  your 
worst. 

This  cannot  happen  if  you  pow- 
der in  such  a  way  that  it  will  last. 


To  fo\l  wind,  jun  and  dust,  iijc  a  hit  of  Fond's  yamshin 
Cream    bcfi-rt'    motoring    or    otitcr    outofdoor    3port3

YOUR  SKIN   NEEDS  TWO  CREAMS 

Every  skin  needs  two  creams.  For  daytime  and  erening  a 
cream  sfccially  mode  without  oil,  so  that  it  cannot  reappear  in  u 
shine.  This  \s  Pond's  ypnishing  Cream.  It  has  no  oil  and 
cannot  make  your  face  shiny  even  for  a  moment.  It  is  based  on 
art  ingredient  which  is  prescribed  by  world  famous  physicians  for 
xts  softening  effect.  Use  it  for  protection  from  the  weather,  for 
a  powder  foundation  and  for  freshening  the  skin  at  a  moment's 
notice. 

On  the  other  hand,  for  cleansing,  for  supplying  a  lack  of  oU. 
and  for  massage.  Pond's  Cold  Cream  should  be  used.  Its  formula 
was  worked  out  to  supply  just  the  amount  of  oil  required  to  give 
it  tlie  fullest  cleansing  power,  and  just  the  smoothness  to  work 
well  into  the  skin. 
Seitker  of  these  creams  will  foster  t^e  growth  of  hair  on  the  face. 


Before  retiring  remove 
the  dust  that  i*  lodged 
deep  in  the  pores  with  a 
cream  with  an  oil  base —

Cold  Cream 


^'ou  cannot  expect  too  much  of 
powder.  The  right  jiowder  founda- 
tion is  essential  if  \ou  are  to  stay 
powdered.  For  this  you  cannot  use 
a  cold  cream.  The  oil  in  it  soon 
conies  out  in  a  worse  glisten  than 
ever. 

Before  powdering  rub  a  tiny  bit 
of  Pond's  Vani.shing  Cream  on 
your  face.  Then  notice  how 
smoothly  the  powder  goes  on,  how 
natural  it  looks.  It  will  stay  on  in- 
definitely. Until  you  wash  youi 
face  it  cannot  shine  again. 

T^UST  is  a  subtle  enemy.  When 
your  skin  grows  dull,  loses  its 
clearness,  it  is  simply  an  announce- 
ment that  the  pores  have  become 
clogged  deep  down  witli  tiny  par- 
ticles of  dust. 

To  remove  these,  vanishing 
cream  is  not  enough  !  Only  a  cream 
with  a  good  oil  base  will  suffice. 

Before  you  go  to  bed  and  after  a 
train  or  motor  trip,  rub  Pond's  Cold 
Cream  into  the  pores  and  wipe  it 
off.  It  contains  just  enough  oil  to 
work  deep  into  the  pores  and  thor- 
oughly clean.se  them.  You  will  be 
shocked  at  yourself  when  you  see 
how  much  dirt  you  were  harboring. 

When  you  go  downtown,  stop  at 
the  drug  store  or  any  department 
store  and  buy  a  jar  or  a  tube  of 
each  cream.  You  need  never  again 
fear  the  little  flaws  that  ruin  one's 
appearance.

MOTION  PICSTURE  CLASSIC 

Pretty  Polly 

{Continued  from  page  60) 
has  a  way  of  standing,  stork-like,  on  one 
foot,  or  swaying  on  both  feet — crossed! 
Again,  she'll  rock  in  a  perfectly  straigiit 
chair — and  always  it  i.>  the  essence  of 
graceful  movement. 

"Dont  tell  anybody  I  swim — for  I 
dont  !"•  she  burst  in,  suddenly.  "They  are 
always  talking  about  how  the  girls  swim, 
and  I  dont  want  anybody  to  think  I'm 
trying  to  put  something  over,  for  I  cant 
swim  a  single  stroke  and  I  dont  want  to!" 
I  crossed  my  heart — let  these  words 
bear  witness  to  the  truth. 

"What  sort  of  man  do  you  want  to 
marry?"  Pauline's  ideas  are  so  original 
one  wants  to  draw  her  out  further. 

"I  want "    Polly  reached  over  for 

the  figs  stuffed  with  walnuts  before  she 
felt  fortified  to  answer  the  momentous 
question.  "I  want  a  man  with  person- 
ality now — strong  personality.  I  used  to 
dream  of  a  handsome  man,  but  I've  seen 
too  many  good-looking  men,  and  played 
with  too  many,  to  care  about  their  faces 
any  more.  I'm  after  intelligence  and 
character  —  that's  the  only  thing  that 
lasts." 

"That  looks  as  if  you  were  turning 
from  leading  men  to  directors,"  shot  in 
the  cynical  visitor  again. 

"Perhaps,"  closed  pretty  Polly,  lacon- 
ically.

interest  that  makes  alrtiost  all  of  us  eager 
to  peep  into  a  chamber  of  horrors. 

"One  of  the  great  events  of  my  life,"! 
she  remarked,  "was  when  I  made  a  long! 
visit  to  an  aunt,  who  lived  in  her  old 
Colonial  home  in  a  wild  portion  of  West 
Virginia,  on  the  trail  which  the  pioneers 
traveled  on  their  way  westward  to  col- 
onize Kentucky,  Indiana  and  Illinois.    I 
was  very  fond  of  our  history,  especially 
of  the  struggles  with  the  Indians.     My 
aunt  did  not  allow  me  to  associate  wi 
the   neighbors,   who   were   mountainee 
of  the  feudist  type,  so  I  used  to  wand 
around,  fancying  myself  in  the  scenes  o; 
these  combats  between  the  whites  and  th 
redmen.     She  had  a  large  library,  and 
would  cuddle  up  in  it  when  I  was  tin 
of  tramping  and  explore  the  bookshelve 
It  was  there  that  I  made  the  acquaintanf 
of  Becky  Sharp  and  the  people  of  Did 
ens.    The  latter  attracted  me  the  mosi 
I  was  especially  fond  of  'The  Tale  o 
Two  Cities'  and  'Bleak  House.'     Nexi 
February,  when  my  contract  with  Uni- 
versal  is   at  an   end,   I   intend  to   visit 
Europe   and   see  all  the  Dickens  land- 
marks and  explore  the  abiding  places  of 
my  Scotch  ancestors.    I  feel  that  the  rest 
will  do  me  a  lot  of  good,  and  when  I  re- 
turn I   will  be  able  to  go  back  to  my 
screen  work  with  new  zest."  ^ 

Her  most  famous  picture  was  "Shoes, 
made  under  the  direction  of  Lois  Weber. 
Some  of  her  more  recent  pictures  are 
"Rouge  and  Riches,"  "Bonnie,  Bonnie 
Lassie"  and  "Petal  on  the  Current."  The 
last,  (her  favorite),  from  a  story  by 
Edna  Ferber.

The  Pulse  of  the  Photoplay  Public 

(Coiitiinicd  from  pacjc  17) 

more  iiltention  as  audiences  develop. 
That  is  natural,  for  sex,  playinj;  a  bij; 
])art  in  real  life,  must  necessarily  play  a 
h\^  part  in  our  drama.  Thus  sex  has 
stood  out  in  our  hiKi,'est  recent  successes, 
■The  Miracle  Man,'  'Male  and  l'\-male.' 
'ICverywoman'  and  our  new  film  inoduc- 
tion,  'On  With  the  Dance.' 

"Our  public  does  not  want  a  morbid 
story.  l'"very  film  play  tending  towards 
the  overdramatic,  the  brutal  or  the  de- 
pressing shows  poor  box-office  returns. 

We  questioned  Mr.  Lasky  ui)on  the 
happy  ending.  "It  is  necessary,"  he 
answered.  "The  audience  out  in  front 
of  the  screen  centers  its  interest  in  the 
hero  or  heroine  and  unconsciously  roots 
all  evening  for  its  favorite.  If  the  story 
comes  to  an  unsatisfactory  ending,  the 
audience  feels  an  intense  itersonal  injury. 
Xo,  the  liappv  ending  is  a  requisite.  The 
charge  is  made  that  the  spoken  drama  is 
truer  to  life  in  this  respect,  but  if  you 
go  carefully  over  the  footlight  suc- 
cesses, you  will  find  them  capped  with 
hapiiy  endings,  with  but  few  exceptions. 
"One  thing  I  want  to  make  clear:  I 
do  not.  bv  any  manner  of  means,  believe 
that  the  death-knell  of  the  star  has  been 
rung.  But  we  can  now  have  good  pic- 
tures without  a  star,  for  our  audiences 
have  developed.  Today  the  screen  and 
stage  stand  ui)on  an  equal  footing  in  this 
matter  of  the  star." 

Mr.  Lasky  briefly  disposed  of  the  so- 
called  menace  of  the  foreign  photoplay. 

"The  foreign-made  drama  can  never 
cope  with  our  o\>n  photoplays,  because 
its  makers  have  not  the  pulse  of  our  ]uib- 
lic.  Their  work  is  temperamentally  and 
even  racially  unsuited  to  us. 
I  "We  have  been  studying  luigland  care- 
!  fully.  Indeed,  our  plans  to  produce  in 
Britain  were  intended  entirely  to  bring 
\  us  closer  to  the  l-".nglish  ))ublic,  for  we 
!  could  find  far  better  jUaces  to  make  pic- 
j  tures.  On  the  whole,  we  have  learnt 
I  that  British  and  .\merican  tastes  are 
:  very  much  alike.  The  luiglish  auflience 
I  likes  societv  plays  \ery  much.  On  the 
other  hand^  its  taste  in  comedy  runs  to 
the  slajistick,  while  over  here  we  have 
been  steadily  tending  towards  a  higher 
type  of  comedy." 

.\gain  Mr.  Lasky  paused.  "I  want  to 
;idd  one  thing,"  he  went  on.  "We  he.ar  a 
great  deal  of  change  and  unrest  aniong 
the  personnel  of  jvicturedom.  Stars  and 
directors  are  ever  shifting  and  ever 
starting  their  own  companies.  I  have 
watched  them  and  they  all  come  face  to 
face  with  one  great  fact — that  there  is 
an  element  in'  iihotoplay-making  not 
often  considered.  That  is  the  studio  or- 
ganization hcliiiul  the  iiicture — the  art 
director,  the  scenario  editor,  the  research 
deiiarlment,  the  casting  director,  and  all

MOTION  PICTl'RE  CLASSIC 

Gentle  Jane 

(Coiiliinied  from  paije  28) 
liini  again  last  summer  when  he  came 
hack  to  i)ictiires.  We  made  some  thrill- 
ing submarine  scenes  in  a  rough  sea 
where  I  had  to  jump  from  a  rowboat 
on  to  the  submarine,  and  be  submerged 
six  times.  One  day  Mr.  liosworth  was 
reassuring  me  and  said.  'Jane,  dont  you 
ever  be  afraid.  Remember  I  have  two 
big  hands  ready  to  battle  for  you  at  any 
time  or  any  i)lace.' 

"Sessuc  Ilayawaka  is  wonderful  to 
work  with,  too.  He  is  very  intense  and 
feels  his  emotional  scenes  so  keenly  that 
he  carries  me  along  with  him.  He  is 
another  merry  tease  and  delights  in  tell- 
ing long  stories  in  Japanese  and  making 
funny  sketches  of  me  while  we  are  rest- 
ing between  scenes. 

"1  have  been  doing  a  new  picture, 
'The  River's  Knd,'  with  .Marshall  .Xeilan. 
He  is  a  genius  at  directing,  always  so 
encouraging,  keeping  every  one  keyed 
up  to  the  spirit  of  the  action.  This  is 
the  best  role  I  have  ever  had  and  a  de- 
cided change,  for  I  am  the  daughter  of 
a  judge  who  has  loads  of  money,  so  I 
wear  lovely  clothes.  Vou  remember  that  I 
usuallv  wear  the  worst  old,  horrid  ones!" 
This  home-loving  Jane  enjoys  cooking 
and  in  the  midst  of  her  busy  life  last 
summer  she  filled  a  closet  with  jellies, 
jams  and  wonderful  looking  preserves. 
She  likes  to  sew,  and  X'irginia's  tiny 
garments  are  hand-made  with  dainty 
touches  of  embroidery  done  during  the 
long  waits  between  scenes  at  the  studio. 
While  we  were  chatting  N'irginia  bad 
succeeded  in  upsetting  a  basket  of  pic- 
tures, and  selecting  a  still,  brought  it  to 
me.  annoiuicing,  "Dis  is  Jane,  dis  is  Bee 
Hart,'  and  planting  a  moist  kiss  on  each 
pictured  face  she  darted  away  before  her 
mother  could  catch  her, 

"She  always  calls  me  Jane;  every  otie 
does,  you  know.  When  we  take  her  to 
see  my  pictures,  she  recognizes  me  the 
moment  I  come  on  the  screen  and  she 
calls  out,  'Dere's  Jane,  dere's  Jane,'  "  and 
the  fond  mother  smiled,  indulgently. 

So  you  see,  there  are,  indeed,  two 
Jane  Novaks.  One,  who  with  her  charm 
and  beauty,  as  well  as  her  thoro  knowl- 
edge of  the  dramatic  technique  and  un- 
usual ability  as  an  actress,  makes  one  of 
the  loveliest  heroines  before  the  camera. 
The  other  one,  with  her  sweetness  and 
gentleness,  makes  a  real  liome  for  her 
loved  ones,  and  fortunately  for  us,  she 
manages  the  dual  roles  most  success- 
fully. 


THIEVES 
By  Barr.\ra  Hollis 
I  am  in  sympathy  with  thieves, 
Condemn  them   less  and   less. 
I  can  forgive  them  anything — 
Their  weakness  I  can  guess. 

For  in  my  life  the  stolen   things 
Seem  far  tlie  sweetest  yet; 
As  I  look  back  upon  the  days 
I  never  shall  forget. 

A  stolen  hour — a  stolen  word  : 
A  stolen  kiss  from  you ; 
I  am  in  sympathy  with  thieves — 
Whatever  they  may  do. 

(Siaty-five) 


Imagine  the  Thrill  of 

Seeing  YOUR  Song  on  Sale! 

"It  was  the  proudest  moment  of  my 

life,  when  I  saw  my  song  on  sale  at  the  local 
music  stores,"  said  one  of  our  writers. 

Why  Don't  YOU  Write  the  Words  for  a  Song? 

Our  composer.  I'"douard  Hesselberg,  will  write  the  music,  and  we 
will   have  the  complete  song  printed  according  to  our  SPECI.^L  PL.'\N. 

Edouard  Hesselberg,  Our  Composer 

!  received  his  musical  education  at  the  Mos- 
cow Royal  Conservatory  of  Music,  Moscow, 
Russia.  After  perfecting  himself  under 
Rubinstein,  he  began  a  brilliant  concert 
career,  appearing  with  such  world  famous 
artists  as  .Sembrich,  Nordica  and  de  Reszke. 
He  has  played  before  and  received  valuable  dec- 
orations from  the  former  Czar  of  Russia,  the 
present  King  of  Italy,  and  other  Royal  families. 
He  is  an  interpretative  artist  of  rare  and  distin- 
guished ability  as  pianist  and  composer.  Among 
his  greatest  song  successes  are  "If  I  Were  a 
Rose,"  of  which  over  a  million  copies  have  been 

sold.  His  latest  song,  "America,  My  Country,"  the  new  national  hymn,  is 
now  in  its  fourth  edition.  Our  writers  are  indeed  fortunate  in  securing 
the   .services   of   this   great   nuisician. 

You  Can  Succeed  by 
Metropolitan  Studios  Plan 

and  make  no  mistake  about  it.  There  is  a  golden  opportunity 
offered  peo[)le  who  can  furnish  real  "words  for  a  song."  Popular- 
ity follows  a  successful  song  writer.  If  you  are  in  earnest,  read  over  a 
few  of  the  popular  songs— study  the  words  and  the  way  they  are  written. 

Every  magazine  and  every  newspaper  is  filled  with  ideas  for  a 
song.  Just  use  your  imagination.  Select  any  subject — love — patriotism — 
home — mother — sweetheart.  Tell  the  story  in  simple  language  in  two 
verses  and  chorus,  and  then  send  it  to  us.  We  will  examine  it  without 
charge.  If  our  Lyric  Editor  finds  your  words  contain  an  idea  for  a  song,  we 
will  offer  you  the  benefit  of  our

Gossip  of  the  Pacific  Coast 

By  FRITZI   REMONT 

Los  AngkLes,  .{Special) — Springtime 
and  .sunshine,  pretty  girls  and  new 
clothes,  and  Kathleen  Kirkham  in  just 
the  right  mood  for  a  luncheon  to  cele- 
brate the  coming  of  new  things  and  the 
feminine  reminiscing  over  the  old. 

At  her  home  on  Delaware  Avenue, 
Mis.s  Kirkham  entertained  us  beautifully, 
the  sjiecial  honoree  being  her  married 
sister  from  the  Middle  West.  The  ma- 
hogany table  -was  bare,  .save  for  Cluny 
lace  doilies  and  a  delightfully  springy 
centerpiece.  A  tiny  pond  holding  some 
Japanese  toys,  a  real  one-inch  goldfish, 
an  infinitesimal  turtle  that  never  should 
have  left  home  and  mother,  and  spanned 
by  a  tiny  bridge,  proved  highly  attractive. 
The  place  cards  were  hand-painted 
Japanese  figures,  mounted  on  tiny  boxes 
holding  .salted  nuts,  and  each  guest  re- 
ceived a  favor  of  a  tea-cannister  of  dark 
wood,  hand-painted,  ribbon-tied,  holding 
orange  pekoe  tea.  Two  Japanese  figures 
stood  near  the  pond,  swinging  lanterns 
filled  with  incense.  The  rooms  were 
decorated  with  peach  and  plum-blooms, 
a^d  flowery  vines  and  roses  "butted  in" 
at  the  windows,  as  Kathleen  put  it. 

I  was  delighted  to  meet  an  old-time 
friend  in  Nell  Craig,  who  has  signed  up 
the  he.'^t  contract  she  ever  had.  She's 
been  reducing,  so  that  her  svelte  and 
graceful  figure  was  simply  lost  in  the 
wonderful  moleskin  coat  which  she  had 
donned  for  driving. 

Coleen  Moore  had  begged  a  few  hours 
oflf  from  the  Haworth  .studio ;  having 
worked  all  day  and  night  before  the 
luncheon  she  was  able  to  get  only  a  few 
hours'  sleep  before  the  luncheon.  She  is 
the  cutest  kiddie,  drives  a  Hudson  road- 
.ster,  but  is  planning  to  buy  a  larger  car 
for  her  "family,''  since  her  mother  and 
brother  of  school  age  have  come  to  stay. 
The  Moores  have  been  occupying  an 
apartment,  but  Coleen  says  she  simply 
must  get  a  big  house  now.  Her  hat  was 
a  very  flower-basket  of  wild  blossoms, 
and  her  new  tafifeta  frock,  with  its  bouf- 
fant hips,  one  of  the  prettiest  creations 
this  spring. 

And,  by  the  way,  you  never  tasted 
such  lu.scious  light  biscuits  as  those  Kath- 
leen serves.  She  calls  them  "Mrs.  Wash- 
ington biscuit,"  and  I  am  sorry  that  lack  of 
space  forbids  my  giving  you  the  recipe — 
but  you  might  ask  her  for  it  when  bid- 
ding  for  a  photograph. 

She  was  looking  charming  in  one  of 
those  square-cut  necks  which  are  so  be- 
coming to  Kathleen.  The  frock  was 
black  tafifeta,  with  fine  lace  about  the 
square  and  elbow-sleeves  touched  off  by 
little  net  undersleeves  about  four  inches 
wide.  Miss  Kirkham's  sister  is  almost 
like  enough  to  be  a  twin,  and  their 
mother,  as  u.sual,  did  the  honors,  for  she 
keeps  house  for  busy  Kathleen.  A  couple 
of  capable  colored  girls  made  perfect 
table  service  possible. 

Emma-Lindsay  Squier,  whose  stories 

we  all  enjoy  so  much,  wore  a  cute  blue 

tafifeta,  very  ruffly,  ofifset  by  dainty  neck 

and  cuff  adornments.    Margaret  Ettinger

When  the  noonday  of  our  life,  de.ir.  finds  fulfillment  in  our  toil, 

.And  the  evening  sun  is  setting  in  the  west. 
When   our  padi   starts  winding  downward,  thru   the  autumn  drowsy  woods, 

To  the  Valley  where  ahides  the  Final  Rest. 
Then  we'll  stop  in  at  the  playhouse  wliere  they  weave  young  lovers'  tales — 

.Sure  there'll  he  some  little  housing  for  an  old-time  guest — 
And  we'll  see  the  old  story  that  was  ours  in  youthful  glory, 

The  eternal,  sweet  old  story  of  love's  everlasting  quest. 

There  we'll  sit  in  our  old  places,  missing  many  friends,  departed. 

Watch  the  Io\-ers.  voicing  fervent  vow. 
We'll  re-live  our  s.icred  moments,  when  in  June-warm  scented  by-ways, 

There  was  something,'  in  my  car,  you  whispered  low; 
They  will  play  a  new  Io\t  story,  hut  they'll  mirror  our  own  glory. 

When  you  kist  me.  strolling  where  the  willows  blow. 
We'll  re-live  our  own  life-story,  mellowed  now  by  age's  glory.

Greatest  of  Popularity  Contests 

The  new  popularity  contest  of  Shad- 
owi.AND,  TiiF.  Motion  Picturk  Maga- 
ziNK  and  Till-:  Motion  Picture  Classic 
is  going  merrily  on.  Hundreds  of  votes 
are  arriving  daily.  They  come  from  the 
East  and  West,  from  New  Zealand. 
Australia,  from  almost  every  country  in 
the  world.  Many  letters  accompany  the 
votes  and  all  concede  this  contest  to  be 
the  best,  the  mo.st  impartial,  the  most 
rousing  contest  that  has  ever  been  con- 
ducted in  the  interest  of  the  players. 

The  contest  is  a  joy  to  all  participators 
because,  not  only  are  they  boosting  their 
favorites  and  adding  to  the  popularity  of 
the  players,  but  they  also  have  a  chance 
to  win  one  of  the  splendid  prizes  depicted 
on  another  page  of  this  issue. 

The  contest  is  running  another  si.K 
weeks,  or  until  June  1st.  You  .still  have 
a  chance  of  casting  three  votes  in  each 
class  for  your  choice  of  the  most  popular 
player.  We  know  that  our  readers  are 
intelligent  and  discerning  critics  and  that 
their  opinion  as  to  the  player  who  com- 
bines the  greatest  number  of  character- 
istics that  go  to  make  popularity  is  of 
supreme  importance  in  the  field  of  mo- 
tion pictures.  Therefore  we  are  count- 
ing on  you.  A  special  staff  of  workers 
are  kept  busy  counting  and  sorting  the 
classes  of  votes  that  are  coming  in  by 
thousands.  Here  are  the  results  to  the 
time  of  going  to  press: 

/Imong  the  women  stars,  Mary  Pick- 
ford  leads  zi'itli  9,4S7  votes,  Norma  Tal- 
madqe  tuitli  6,434  and  Pearl  JVhite  with 
1,243. 

Among  the  male  stars,  Richard  Bar- 
thelmess  is  first  with  2,210  votes,  Wal- 
lace Reid  with  2.S92  and  William  S.  Hart 
wilh  1,453. 


From  the  music-halls  to  Ibsen  plays 
seems  like  an  impossible  accomplishment, 
but  that's  e-xactly  what  this  versatile 
young  artist  did,  proving,  also,  that 
sometimes  a  prophet  (or  artist)  has 
honor  in  his  own  country,  for  in  her 
native  city  she  scored  a  big  success  in 
these  famous  plays.  Following  this,  she 
further  demonstrated  her  versatility  by 
achieving  a  brilliant  record  as  a  vaude- 
ville artist,  especially  in  Stockholm  and 
Gottenborg. 

Back  in  Copenhagen  again,  she  was 
offered  sjilendid  opportunities  with  the 
Nordisk  Film  Company.  She  played  in- 
genue roles,  then  boy  impersonations, 
which  she  liked  very  much.  Then,  the 
managers  decided  that  she  was  to  con- 
tinue her  career  as  a  screen  vampire  and 
outlined  a  particularly  sensational  pro- 
gram for  her. 

"I  simply  couldn't  do  it,"  she  said;  "I 
decided  to  come  to  America,  where  they 
have  plenty  of  vampires  and  are  not 
looking  for  more.  I  dont  want  to  be  a 
woman  with  a  past,  a  raging,  hissing, 
impossible  vampire  creature  condemned 
to  eternal  sinning.  I  want  to  play 
straight,  dramatic  parts — something  re- 
quiring brains,  intelligence,  a  chanfce  to 
grow — roles  that  will  make  people  love, 
not  hate,  me — so  I  packed  my  grip — and 
here  I  am. 

"And — if  I  cant  get  what  I  want,  I'll 
go  back  to  Copenhagen — to  the  stage — 
but  not  to  vamping!"

striking  beauty  attracted  the  attention  of 
a  well-known  artist.  She  consented  to 
pose  for  him  and  later  this  poster, 
"Pieauty  and  the  Beast,"  won  an  interna- 
tional prize. 

It  was  in  London,  also,  that  the  Danish 
beauty  made  her  film  debut,  appearing  in 
"The  Seventh  Commandment"  with 
f  iladys.Cooper  and  the  late  James  Welsh. 
She  had  many  flattering  film  offers,  but 
by  this  time  she  had  become  so  liomesick 
that  she  returned  to  her  home  in  Copen- 
hagen. 


SONG  AFTER  GRIEF 
By  Charlotte  Becker 

Give  me  the  summer  days  again. 

When  hope  was  warm   and   love  was  true. 
When  little  griefs  were  all  we  knew 

And  sorrow  sang  no  long  refrain. 

Give  me  the  summer  dreams  again. 

When  all  the  lands   spread  broad  and   fair 
With  promises  of  joys  to  share. 

And  hawthorn  bloomed  in  every  lane.. 

Give  me  the  summer  songs  again. 
Their  ^vord5  of  dewy-hearted  flowers, 
Their  music  of  light-falling  showers. 

And  low  winds  rustling  thru  the  grain. 

Give  me  the  summer  joys  again. 
Ah,  Life,  just  once,  and  let  me  go 
The  old  way  that  I  used  to  know 

.'\nd  lost — so  dense  the  mist  of  pain. 

I  saw  those  summer  days  again ! 
I  kiie\v  your  lips,  denied  so  long, 
'1  knew  the  dreams,  the  joy,  the  song; 
Saw  Time  with  his  own  hours  enchain 
L'|>ou  the  screen,  those  days  again  I 

(  Sixttjeight) 


"The  Proudest  Moment  of 

Our  Lives  Had  Come!" 

"We  sat  before  the  fire  place,  Mary  and  I,  with  Betty  perched  on  the  arm  of  the  big  chair.  It 
was  our  first  evening  in  our  own  home!  There  were  two  glistening  tears  in  Mary's  eyes,  yet  a 
smile  was  on  her  lips.     I  knew  what  she  was  thinking. 

*'Five  years  before  we  had  started  bravely  out  together!  The  first  month  had  taught  us  the  old, 
old  lesson  that  two  cannot  live  as  cheaply  as  one.  I  had  left  school  in  the  grades  to  go  to  work 
and  my  all  too  thin  pay  envelope  was  a  weekly  reminder  of  my  lack  of  training.  In  a  year  Betty 
came — three  mouths  to  feed  now.  Meanwhile  living  costs  were  soaring.  Only  my  salary  and  I 
were  standing  still. 

"Then  one  night  Mary  came  to  me.  'Jim',  she  said,  'why  don't  you  go  to  school  again — right  here  at  home? 
You  can  put  in  an  hour  or  two  after  supper  each  night  while  I  sew.  Learn  to  do  some  one  thing.  You'll  make 
good — I  /^fiow  you  will/ 

"Well,  we  talked  it  over  and  that  very  night  I  wrote  to  Scranton.  A  few  days  later  1  had  taht-ii  up  a  course  m 
the  work  I  was  in.      It  was  surprising  how  rapidly  the  mysteries  of  our  business  became  clear  to  me — took  on  a 


new  fascination.  In  a  little  while  an  opening  came.  I  was  ready  for 
it  and  was  promoted — with  an  increase.  Then  1  was  advanced  again. 
There  was  money  enough  to  even  lay  a  little  aside.     So  it  went. 

"And  now  the  fondest  dream  of  all  has  come  true.  We  have  a  real  home  of 
our  own  with  the  little  comforts  and  luxuries  Marv  liad  always  longed  for,  a 
little  place,  as  she  says,  that  *Betty  can  be  proud  to  grow  up  in.' 

**I  look  back  now  in  pity  at  those  first  blind  stumbling  years,  Each  evening 
after  supper  the  doors  of  opportunity  had  swung  wide  and  I  had  passed  them 
by.  How  grateful  I  am  that  Mary  helped  me  to  see  that  night  the  golden 
hours  that  lay  within." 

In  city,  town  and  country  all  over  America  there  are  men  with  liappy  fami- 
lies and  prosperous  homes  because  they  let  the  International  Correspondence 
Schools  come  to  them  in  the  hours  after  supper  and  prepare  them  for  bigger  work 
at  better  pay.  More  than  two  million  men  and  women  in  the. last  2H  years  have 
advanced  themselves  through  spare  time  study  with  the  I.  C.  S.  Over  one 
hundred  thousand  right  now  are  turning  their  evenings  to  profit.  Hundreds 
are  starting  every  day. 

You,  too,  can  have  the  position  you  want  in  the  work  you  like  best.  You 
can  have  a  salary  that  will  give  your  family  the  kind  of  a  home,  the  lomforts, 
the  little  luxuries  that  you  would  like  them  to  have.  Yes,  you  can!  No  matter 
what  your  age,  your  occupation,  or  your  means — you  can  do  it ! 

AH  we  ask  is  the  chance  to  prove  it.  That's  fair,  isn't  it?  Then  mark  and  mail 
this  coupon.  There's  no  obligation  and  not  a  penny  of  cost.  But  it  may  be  the 
most  important  step  you  ever  took  in  your  life.  Cut  out  and  mail  the  coupon  noiv.

A\0T10N  PICTURE  CLASSIC 


When  "Micky"  Walked 

(Continued  from  page  21) 


"I  always  said,"  he  remarked,  "that 
one  reason  I  wanted  my  own  company 
was  so  that  I  could  hire  an  efficiency 
man  and  then  can  him.  Now  I  think 
that  I'll  hire  one  and  let  him  stick  around 
for  a  while.    It  would  keep  me  amused." 

"A  sort  of  court  jester?" 

•■Yes." 

"We  had  some  fun  on  that  trip,  tho," 
he  went  on,  characteristically. 

It  seems  that  when  the  company 
reached  Oakland  he  found  that  his  grip 
had  been  left  in  San  Francisco  and  sent 
his  secretary  back  for  it.  By  the  time 
the  secretary  discovered  the  grip,  the 
company  had  left  Oakland.  He  took  the 
ne.xt  train.  They  would  have  connected 
all  right  except  that  Neilan  decided  to 
stop  at  a  little  way-station  for  Thanks- 
giving dinner.  Then  instead  of  remain- 
ing in  Portland,  the  company  came  back 
immediately,  with  the  result  that,  tho 
"Micky"  took  both  his  secretary  and  his 
grip  along,  he  didn't  see  either  of  them 
until  he  got  back  home  again. 

This  wasn't  all.  A  friend  of  Neilan's 
who  had  gone  along  just  for  fun,  came 
down  with  a  b^d  cold.  This  gave  "Micky" 
an  idea  for  livening  up  a  dull  moment  of 
the  trip.  He  decided  to  invent  an  epi- 
demic of  the  "flu."  He  made  a  number 
of  "flu"  masks  and  ordered  every  one  to 
wear  them,  but  there  were  (intention- 
ally) not  enough  to  go  around.  Those 
who  didn't  get.  masks  were  thoroly 
scared,  while,  the  others,  onto  the  joke, 
had  a  good  laugh. 

"Gracious !"  you  exclaim,  "doesn't  he 
ever  take  anything  seriously?" 

Of  course,  no  one  ever  asked  him  this 
question,  but  if  they  did,  his  answer 
would  probably  be,  "Yes,  I'm  always 
very  serious  when  I  am  directing  ants  or 
goldfish." 

Why  should  he  be  serious?  Success- 
ful, twenty-eight  years  old  and  hand- 
some— what  more  could  any  one  want? 

Marshall  Neilan  was  born  in  Los  An- 
geles, California,  in  1891.  He  was  about 
twenty  years  old  when  he  joined  a 
stock  company  in  San  Francisco,  helping 
to  form  the  mob  in  mob  scenes.  Within 
a  few  months,  however,  he  was  made  the 
juvenile  lead. 

"All  of  that  has  been  said  so  often," 
he  remarked,  plaintively. 

Yes,  he  was  with  Griffith ;  a  leading 
man  with  the  "old"  Biograph.  He  was 
also  with  Kalem,  Universal,  Selig, 
American  and  Famous  Players.  He  has 
been  leading  man  for  Mary  Pick  ford. 
Marguerite  Clark  and  Blanche  Sweet. 

As  a  directof,  he  has  tried  his  hand  at 
everything  from  the  W.  K.  Ham  and 
Bud  comedies  to  the  somber  feature, 
"The  Unpardonable  Sin." 

And  now,  as  producer  and  director  at 
the  head  of  his  own  company,  he  is  one 
of  the  "Big  Six"  association  of  directors 
just  formed,  which  includes,  besides 
Marshall  Neilan,  George  Loane  Tucker, 
producer  of  "The  Miracle  Man,"  Mau- 
rice Tourneur,  Mack  Sennett,  Thomas 
H.  Ince  and  .\lan  Dwan,  a  formidable 


combination  which,  it  is  rumored,  will 
later  become  affiliated  with  the  "Big 
Four,"  Mary  Pickford,  Douglas  Fair- 
banks, Charles  Chaplin  and  D.  W.  Grif- 
fith, tho  in  regard  to  this  Marshall 
Neilan  would  say  nothing. 

All  during  our  conversation  there 
were  innumerable  things  to  be  done  .  .  . 
he  was  casting  for  his  next  picture  .  .  . 
this  association  was  just  being  formed 
...  he  had  about  fifty  appointments  .  .  . 
With  all  of  his  "kidding"  and  his  innate 
love  of  fun,  you  would  never  forget  that 
he  is  doing  big  things  and  has  heavy 
responsibilities.  He  isn't  always  laugh- 
ing. Sometimes  he  looks  quite  serious. 
His  brown  eyes  are  large  and  his  long, 
thick  lashes,  that  turn  up  just  a  little  at 
the  ends,  would  be  the  envy  of  almost 
any  young  girl  in  the  world.  So,  too,  his 
thick,  wavy  brown  hair. 

I  mentioned  the  "dog  stuff"  in  "Stella 
Maris."  If  you  saw  the  picture,  you 
cannot  fail  to  remember  how,  after  the 
big  dog  had  driven  the  little  dog  away, 
he  was  shown  haunted  by  his  conscience, 
having  a  little  vision  of  his  own. 

"I've  always  liked  to  believe  that  ani- 
mals, and  especially  dogs,  think,  and 
that  one  might  be  troubled  by  his  con- 
science in  quite  the  same  way  as  a  hu- 
man being,"  said  Neilan.  "You  know' 
the  expression  of  the  cat  that  has  eaten 
the  canary,  and  examples  of  the  thought- 
fulness  of  horses  are  unending.  I  hold 
that  that  stuff  was  quite  possible.  Why, 
even  goldfish  ..." 

This  brought  to  mind  a  story  about 
him  which  has  been  going  the  rounds 
in  Hollywood  for  some  time.  It  seems 
that  there  was  a  big  goldfish  in  a  bowl 
at  Lasky's  that  would  "go  crazy"  every 
time  he  heard  "Micky's"  voice.  Whether 
this  was  caused  by  fondness  for  "Micky" 
or  sensitiveness  to  sound  vibration,  no 
one  seems  to  know.  But  anyhow,  the 
fact  remains,  and  it  has  caused  him  to 
be  very  generally  referred  to  as  the 
greatest  director  of  fish  in  the  world. 

Seriously,  'his  fondness  for  animals, 
like  his  fondness  for  children,  is  one  of 
his  outstanding  characteristics. 

"I've  thought,"  he  said,  in  conclusion, 
"of  a  good  stunt  for  Wes'  next  picture." 
He  was  referring  to  little  Wesley  Barry, 
the  twelve-year-old  boy  who  is  his  pro- 
tege and  who  "Micky"  thinks  has  un- 
bounded promise.  "Wes'  father  sends 
him  to  'rush  the  growler'  with  a  pitcher, 
and  every  time  he  goes,  Wes  breaks  the 
pitcher.  Finally  the  old  man,  who  isn't 
particularly  squeamish,  tells  him  that 
fiom  then  on  he  can  get  the  beer  in  a 
hot-water  bag." 

So  you  see  Marshall  Neilan  has  what 
the  novelists  call  a  "usable  past." 

Anita's  Anxious  Adorer.— Tlianks.  Look 
up  June  1916  issue  for  her  chat.  I  know,  but 
if  you  squeeze  the  hand  of  a  woinan  who  has 
a  history  she  will  wonder  just  how  much  you 
do  know.

eyes,"    But  love  is  a  tyrant  that  spares  no  one.

Ten  years 

without  a  com 

Countless  people  boast  that  record  now. 

Years  ago  they  started  using  Blue-jay.  Never  since 
has  a  corn  pained  twice.  And  never  has  a  corn  stayed 
a  week.  

You  can  quickly  prove  that  corns  are  needless. 
Millions  have  already  done  it. 

Think  what  it  means. 

No  more  paring,  no  more  pain,  no  more  unsightly 
pads.    Dainty  shoes  without  unhappy  hours. 

Apply  a  touch  of  liquid  Blue-jay  or  a  Blue-jay  plaster. 

The  corn  pain  will  end.  And  soon  the  whole  corn 
will  loosen  and  come  out. 

The  action  is  gentle  but  sure.  Blue-jay  is  the  scien- 
tific method,  created  by  this  world-famed  laboratory. 

It  is  not  like  the  methods  which  are  harsh  and  crude. 

Try  Blue-jay  on  one  corn.  Buy  it  tonight  from  your 
druggist.  Live  the  rest  of  your  life  vrithout  corns.

MOTION  nCTUKtl 

A  Joyful  Miss  Joy 

(Coiiliinu'J  from  pai/c  \9) 

Several  pictures  were  made  iimkr  thi' 
banner  and  then  Miss  Joy  iourne>ed  uj: 
to  New  Y(M'k  where  slie  made  one  picture 
under  Maurice  Tourncur,  later  1,'oinf;  to 
Jacksonville  to  appear  in  the  I'araniount 
one-reel  comedies. 

Comedies  were  all  ris^lit  for  a  lime 
but  slie  longed  for  dram.itic  work,  so 
l)ersuading  Tner  mother  to  accompany 
Iier,  she  came  to  Los  Angeles  where 
there  were  more  opportunities. 

"(^h,  I  was  lucky,"  declared  l.catricei 
with  her  joyful  enthusiasm,  "for  at  oncej 
1  was  given  the  part  of  Toby,  the  .^outh-i 
ern  girl  in  'The  Dollar  I'.id,'  with  Jack 
Kerrigan ;  then  I  played  the  ingenue  iilj 
William  Farnum's  'The  Man  1  lunler. 

"I  guess  each  experience  mellows  and] 
prepares  us  for  the  next.  My  father! 
passed  away  while  1  was  m.iking  'The 
Right  of  Way,'  and  it  was  terribly  hard 
to  go  thru  those  death  scenes." 

Since  coming  to  pictures,  Leatrice  has! 
been  cast  in  a  series  of  .Southern  girl 
roles  in  which  she  could  portray  her  own 
sweet,  girlish  self,  and  it  was  nol  until 
she  played  the  lead  in  George  1  .oane 
Tucker's  new  picture,  'Ladies  'Musi  Live,' 
that  she  had  the  chance  to  play  a  truly 
dramatic  role.  Mr.  Tucker  predicts  that 
this  young  girl  will  win  her  laurels  as  a 
dramatic  actress  and  suggested  that  she 
change  her  name,  declaring  ihat  Joy  was 
not  suitable  for  a  future  hanny  Daven 
port.  .After  much  consideration.  Lea- 
trice  decided  she  couldn't  sacrifice  Joy, 
even  for  art,  and  will  take  the  name  with 
her  even  to  the  very  heights  of  a  dra-. 
matic  and  emotional  success. 

In  her  dressing-room  there  is  a  much- 
used  copy  of  lunerson's  essays  which 
this  little  Southern  girl  reads  daily,  gain- 
ing help  from  its  high  philosophy. 
Turning  the  leaves  of  this  b(),>k  I  found 
a  little  poem  dedicated  to  her  mother 
and  then  1  discovered  that  it  was  as  a 
poetess  that  she  first  dreamed  of  finding 
her  place  in  the  artist  world. 

Thru  the  sweet  thought  expressed  in 
rhyme,  I  glimpsed  a  (le|)th,  tenderness 
and  power,  which  promises  great  mo- 
ments in  Leatrice  Joy's  screen  por- 
travals.

By  Vaka  Macueth  Jonks 
There  was  a  little  Kirl, 
And  she  had  a  litlle  curl 

Right  ill  the  middle  of  her  forehead; 
,'\nd  it  must  have  hecn  the  curl 
That  lielped  to  star  the  girl  — 

For  really  her  .acting  was  horrid! 

There  was  a  movie  star 

Who  lived  in  a  shoe; 
Her  press  agent  told  me— 

So  it  must  he  true.

ict.iin  a  name  we  ilont  like,  is  it  :" 

.\nd  speakini,'  of  names  reminds  me. 
Shirley's  real  name  is  l.eonie  i-'lnyrath, 
and,  altho  she'd  like  \  cry  mnch  to  ha\e. 
kept  the  l.eonie,  she  frankly  says  th.it 
the  letters  comprisinj;  l'"luj,'ratli  woidd 
never  lof>k  well  in  electrics! 

Site's  one  of  three  sisters,  one  of 
whom  is  N'iola  Dana,  the  Metro  star,  and 
the  other,  F.dna,  at  present  a  quite  popu- 
lar I'.nghsh  comedienne  in  London. 
I'.veryhody  in  Hollywood  fully  believes 
that  Viola  sets  the  style  for  sister  Shir- 
ley. She  does,  in  some  res]iects,  because. 
as  Miss  .M.asiin  remarks,  "she  knows  so 
much  more  about  things  than  I  do." 

But  there's  a  particular  ;idvanta);e 
about  bein^,'  younff.  One  can  sit  on  the 
lawn  and  ])lay  with  one's  cat  or  one's 
dog  without  setting;  the  town  tongues  to 
wagging.  .\nd  one  can  dress  in  pina- 
fores and  Peter  I'ans  without  creating 
the  impression  that  she's  a  female  nut. 
And  one  can  sing  if  she  uants  to  sing. 
In  fact,  one  doesn't  have  to  be  taken 
seriously  at  all  times. 

"When  I  was  young,"  Shirley  goes  on 
:o  say,  "I  used  to  buy  the  oldest-looking 
lats  and  gowns,  and  wear  all  of  Viola's 
rlothes,  because  I  wanted  to  look  more 
jrown  up.  \ow  I'm  all  over  that, 
■•-very  girl  passes  thru  that  stage  when 
ihe  want.s  to  look  more  sophisticated 
han  her  mother." 

ishe  and  Viola  look  so  much  alike  that 
t's  difiicult  to  tell  them  apart.  The  fatal 
leauty  was  nearly  disastrous  two  vears 
ego,  when  she  was  m.Lrried  to  Bernev, 
lecause,  at  the  crucial  moment,  the  min- 
ster nearly  wed  Viola  to  .Shirley's  Inis- 
land-to-lie. 

".\nd  when  !  first  came  to  Hollywood, 
t  was  just  after  \'iola's  husbanil.  John 
.'ollins,  liad  died  of  inlluenza.  Viola 
vasn't  seen  in  public  nnich.  and  when  1 
entured  out  I  got  all  the  sympathy,  be- 
ause  people  mistook  me  for  mv  sister. 

"But  I've  alw.ays  been  ;i  tomboy,  while 
/iola  hasn't.  When  I  was  young  I  al- 
ways played  with  the  boys,  (iirls  were 
lo  catty.  .\nd  I  had  tin  idea  that  I  must 
Iways  wear  kid  gloves,  altho  it  didn't 
latter  whether  or  not  they  had  tingers. 
Ust  so  they  were  gloves.  Oh,  when  I 
•as  young,  we  had  the  best  time !  Steal 
:rawberrics !  Once  I  nearly  got  ar- 
isted." 

This  when-I-was-young  talk  amused 
le  greatly.  .Shirley,  sitting  opposite  me 
1  her  little  black  velvet  dress,  with  lace 
)llar  and  elbow-length  sleeves,  ])or- 
ayed  the  quintessence  of  youth,  Impu- 
:ntly  I  inquired  her  age. ,   Xineteen.

Not  oid  enough  to  vote! 

She  doesn't  care  particularly,  because, 
she  says,  when  she  is  twenty-one  and 
over  it'll  be  just  her  luck  to  be  very  busy 
at  the  studio  when  election  time  comes 
around. 

"Cant  I  let  Berney  mark  my  ballot  for 
me  ?"'  she  asked. 

I  informed  her  it  isn't  being  done. 

"Well,  then,  I  suppose  I  must  find 
some  way  to  do  it  myself.  I  shall  be 
very  happy  when  I'm  twenty-one.  Then 
I  .shall  be  considered  discreet.  One 
nowadays  cant  be  considered  discreet 
until  one  has  reached  one's  majority,  as 
they  say  politically,  can  one?" 

In  the  year  1900,  among  other  impor- 
tant events,  occurred  the  birth  of  the 
youngest  Flugrath,  now  Mrs.  Berney 
Burning.  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  is  the  lucky 
city,  and  today  Shirley  Mason  and 
Gladys  Brockwell  are  about  the  only 
Californians  I've  met  who  condescend  to 
■'put  in  a  good  word"  for  the  settlement 
across  the  river  from  Manhattan. 

Little  Leonie  made  her  debut  on  the 
stage  when  she  was  two  and  a  half  in  a 
play  with  Peter  B.  Daley,  in  which  she 
rushed  onto  the  boards,  crying  dramatic- 
ally, "Daddy!"  A  few  months  later  she 
created  the  part  of  Little  Hal  in  William 
Faversham's  production  of  "The  Squaw 
Man."  Other  child  parts,  her  specialties, 
were  Meenie  in  "Rip  Van  Winkle"  and 
Jan  in  "The  Piper." 

She  was  never  bothered  much  by  the 
"gerrymen,"  as  the  members  of  the  the- 
atrical profession  term  those  gentlemen 
whose  duty  it  is  to  make  a  mental  in- 
spection of  stage  children  under  sixteen 
in  order  to  note  that  their  education  has 
not  been  neglected,  because  both  she  and 
Viola  got  their  schooling  in  the  summer 
when  the  company  was  vacationing. 

Once,  when  she  was  eleven,  a  "gerry- 
man"  called  her  into  the  office  of  the 
manager  and  asked  her  such  foolish 
questions  as  "What  letter  comes  after 
W?"  and,  at  length,  what  procedure  she 
would  pursue  were  she  to  lay  a  carpet 
in  the  room. 

"I  was  up  a  stump,"  she  confided 
me,  "but  I  thought  that  I'd  better  sa)i 
something.  At  length  I  got  very  haughq 
and  looked  at  the  'gerryman'  with  mj 
best  'heavy'  stare. 

"  'Sir,'  I  said,  'I  dent  think  that  I  shal 
ever  be  required  to  lay  a  carpet.  There 
fore  I  have  never  given  the  matter  con 
sideration.'  The  'gerryman'  was  ver 
obliging  and  did  not  further  trouble  me.' 

Shirley's  start  in  pictures  was  a  case' 
of  hard  work  and  long  waiting  until  she 
should  get  a  "call"  from  the  Edison 
studio,  which  was  near  the  Flugrath 
home  in  the  Bronx,  New  York.  She  was 
understudying  sister  Viola  in  "The  Poor 
Little  Rich  Girl"  and  had  a  great  deal 
of  time  to  herself.  Her  mother  thought 
of  the  flickers  and  registered  her  at  the 
studio,  where  Harry  Beaumont  and  Mary 
Fuller  and  Marc  MacDermott  were 
starring.  Finally,  both  she  and  Viola 
were  given  "kid"  parts,  meanwhile  con- 
tinuing their  legitimate  work,  when  Shir-

CLASSIC 

Judy  of  Rogue's  Harbor 

(Continued  from  page  46) 

after  you  had  gone.  It  is  all  true." 
There  was  a  pause  during-  which  the 
silence  throbbed  among  them  like  a 
quivering  heart.  The  Governor  fainted 
and  no  one  knew  the  difference.  The 
thing  that  mattered  was  between  Judy 
and  the  Lady  of  the  Roses.  The  lovely 
bond  that  had  been  between  them  was 
being  explained  to  them.  An  awareness 
that"  had  existed,  almost  miraculously, 
from  the  first,  came  to  fruition  between 
them.  The  Lady  of  the  Roses  had  Judy 
against  her  heart.  The  tears  distilled 
thru  empty  hours,  how  empty  her  lips 
would  never  formulate,  threaded  Judy's 
hair  like  priceless  pearls.  "I  know  now," 
the  woman  murmured,  with  an  immeas- 
urable tenderness,  "why  I  sewed  the 
little  frocks  for  you,  why  I  wanted  to 
curl  your  hair,  my  darling,  why  I  wanted 
to  make  you  cookies  and  other  goodies. 
It  was  all  the  little  loving  demands  of 
the  separated  years,  crying  out  to  me  .  .  . 
oh,  baby  .   .   .  oh,  baby  ..." 

Of  course,  I  didn't  hear  it  all  in  detail. 
There  are  some  things  one  does  not  feel 
one  wants  to  hear  about.  Sacred  things. 
Bared  hearts.  An  hour  like  that  after 
years  of  barren  hours.  There  are  no 
words  for  them. 

I  do  know,  tho,  because  Judy  told  me 
so,  that  the  Lady  of  the  Roses  forgave 
Governor  Kingsland  for  the  terrible 
wrong  he  had  done  her.  The  philosophy 
of  years  had  taught  her,  too,  the  mellow- 
ing of  that  philosophy  which  knows  all, 
and  knowing,  forgives  .   .   . 

I  know  that  she  went  to  Rogue's  Har- 
bor and  identified  the  old  man  there  as 
her  father,  brought  back  to  him,  perma- 
nently, the  evanescent  kindliness  he  had 
had,  of  late,  only  in  dreams. 

I  know  that  Jim  Shuckles  and  his 
gang  were  apprehended,  and  that  Teddy 
and  Judy  gave  him  an  alternative — Ollie 
or  jail — and  that,  completely  terrorized 
for  the  first  time  in  his  cowardly  life,  he 
married  Ollie  and  was  even,  it  turned 
out,  moderately  h"man  toward  her. 

And  I  know  that  Teddy  and  Judy 
walked  in  the  garden  of  roses  just  as 
they  came  to  their  most  perfect  bloom, 
and  whispered,  one  to  the  other,  the  old- 
as-the-world  vows,  and  billed  and  cooed, 
and  made  promises  more  fragrant  than 
the  drifting  petals,  more  mysterious  than 
the  sclt  breaths  of  the  sea ;  more  set  and 
eternal,  more  unalterable,  than  the  stars, 
in  their  fixed,  immemorial  courses. 

And,  because  no  one  ever  quite  "lives 
happily  ever  after,"  as  the  beloved  lore  of 
the  fairies  would  have  us  believe,  I  will 
not  say  that  they  did,  but  they  have  lived 
as  happily  as  ever  two  young  things 
could,  together,  and,  because  they  are  so 
young  and  have  so  much  love  between 
them,  both  for  their  neighbors  and  them- 
selves, the  unhappiness  that  comes  to 
them  is  taken,  heads  high,  transmuted 
into  philosophy,  and  so  given  back  again. 
And  over  it  all,  with  shining  needle  poised 
and  serene  eyes  smiling,  presides  the 
Lady  of  the  Roses  waiting  for  the  baby 
she  k-nnws  will  rome  to  her  now.

duction of  "Passersby." 
^  At  length  she  went  with  the  Kleine- 
Selig-Edison-Essanay  combination  as  a 
star  in  "The  Telltale  Step,"  "Lady  of  the 
riiotograph,"  "The  Apple-tree  Girl," 
etc.,  and  finally  with  McClure's  serial, 
"The  Seven  Deadly  Sins,"  where  she 
starred  in  the  "Passion"  episode.  She 
was  next  won  to  the  Famous  Players 
fold,  as  their  youngest  ingenue.  Under 
that  contract  she  made  perhaps  six  plays, 
among  them  "The  Winning  Girl"  and 
"The  Final  Close-up."  On  the  expira- 
tion of  the  contract.  Miss  Mason  rested 
in  Hollywood  for  several  months  and  at 
length  signed  with  Maurice  Tourneur 
for  the  ingenue  part  in  "Treasure 
Island." 

Now,  however,  she  has  the  distinction 
of  being  William  Fox's  newest  star,  who 
is  to  gleam  in  a  series  of  stories  that  deal 
with  the  innermost  life,  thoughts  and 
actions  of  a  sub-debutante. 

"What  is  your  philosophy?"  I  asked, 
concluding. 

"Simply  to  be  happy,"  she  rejoined. 
"Be  happy,  make  everybody  else  happy 
and  stay  young.  One  is  dead  an  awfully 
long  time,  isn't  he,  and  I  believe  in  get- 
ting the  fullest  enjoyment  out  of  life, 
which,  for  me,  is  bounded  on  the  north 
by  mother,  on  the  south  by  Viola,  on  the 
east  by  Berney  and  on  the  west  by  my 
cat  and  dog.  And  since  both  of  the  lat- 
ter are  languishing  in  boarding-school, 
it  looks  as  if  I'm  minus  a  place  for  the 
setting  sun  of  my  hopes,  which  I'm  cut 
out  to  entertain  till  I'm  82  years  old  and 
'cant  eat  nothin'  but  bananas !'  " 

And  Shirley,  who  isn't  old  enough  to 
vote,  mimicked  an  old  lady  of  the  tooth- 
less stage  and  told  me  she  wasn't  going 
to  live  long — only  eighty-two !

HER  EASTER  SIN 
By   Walter   Pulitzer 
The  wife  before  her  husband  stood. 

As  if  for  his  inspection, 
All  newly  gowned,  and  on  her  head 

An  Easterish  confection. 
She  cried,  "  'Twas  such  a  bargain,  dear— 

The  price  you'd  never  guess ; 
It  cost  but  eighty  dollars,  and 

It  cant  be  bought  for  less." 

"What,  eighty  for  that  thing,"  he  cried. 

And  simply  boiled  within ; 
"Extravagance  like  that  is — well — 

It's  shameful — it's  a  sin!" 
The  lady,  ready  with  retort 

And  nothing  daunted,  said, 
"Oh,  well,  at  least  the  sin  will  be 

Upon  my  own   fair  head!"

A  new  era  in  teeth 
protection 

These  new  discoveries  mark  a  new 
era  in  teeth  cleaning.  Tooth  beauty 
comes  through  removing  the  cloudy 
film  coat.  But  that  also  means  vastly 
more.  It  means  safer,  cleaner  teeth. 
And  it  doubtless  will  mean,  in  the 
years  to  come,  a  vast  reduction  in 
tooth  troubles. 

Dentists  everywhere  are  urging 
people  to  adopt   this  new  protection. 


Why  Teeth  Glisten 

Millions  of  Them  Now 

Jill  Statements  Approved  by  High  Dental  Authorities 


You  see  glistening  teeth  in  every 
circle  now.  For  millions  of  teeth  are 
being  cleaned  in  a  new  way.  They  are 
not  only  whiter,  but  cleaner  and  safer. 
And  leading  dentists  everywhere  are 
urging  this  method's  adoption. 

A  ten-day  test,  which  costs  you  noth- 
ing, will  show  what  it  means  to  you. 

To  end  the  film 

The  purpose  is  to  end  the  film — the 
cause  of  most  tooth  troubles. 

Film  is  that  viscous  coat  which  you 
feel  with  your  tongue.  It  is  ever-pres- 
ent, ever-forming.  It  clings  to  teeth, 
enters  crevices  and  stays. 

It  is  that  film-coat  which  discolors, 
not  the  teeth.  Film  is  the  basis  of 
tartar.  It  holds  food  substance  which 
ferments  and  forms  acid.  It  holds  the 
acid  in  contact  with  the  teeth  to  cause 
decay. 

Millions  of  germs  breed  in  it.  They, 
"with  tartar,  are  the  chief  cause  of 
pyorrhea. 


The  ordinary  tooth  paste  does  not 
dissolve  film.  So  brushing  has  left 
much  of  it  intact.  Millions  of  well- 
brushed    teeth,    on    this   account,    dis- 


color and  decay.  Few  people  escape 
tooth  troubles,  and  it  is  largely  be- 
cause of  that  film. 

Now  a  combatant 

Dental  science,  knowing  these  facts, 
has  long  sought  a  film  combatant.  It 
has  now  been  found.  Convincing  clin- 
ical and  laboratory  tests  have  proved 
it  beyond  question. 

The  method  is  embodied  in  a  denti- 
frice called  Pepsodent.  And  this  tooth 
paste  in  all  ways  meets  modem  re- 
quirements. Millions  of  people  have 
already  tried  it,  and  the  results  you 
see  on  every  hand  show  what  it  means 
to  teeth. 

The  vital  facts 

Pepsodent  is  based  on  pepsin,  the 
digestant  of  albumin.  The  film  is  al- 
buminous matter.  The  object  of  Pep- 
sodent is  to  dissolve  it,  then  to  day 
by  day  combat  it. 

But  pepsin  must  be  activated,  and 
the  usual  agent  is  an  acid  harmful  to 
the  teeth.  So  this  method  long  seemed 
barred.  Now  science  has  found  a 
harmless  activating  method,  so  active 
pepsin  can  be  every  day  applied. 

Pepsodent  accomplishes  two  other 
great  results.  But  its  all-important 
quality  is  this  action  on  the  film. 


Mark  the  results  in 
ten  days 

One  cannot  question  the  Pepsodent 
effects.     They  are  too  conspicuous. 

Send  the  coupon  for  a  10-Day  Tube. 
Note  how  clean  the  teeth  feel  after 
using.  Mark  the  absence  of  the  vis- 
cous film.  See  how  the  teeth  whiten 
as  the  film-coat  disappears. 

Compare  the  results  with  results 
you  get  now.  Then  read  the  reasons 
for  them.  After  such  a  test,  neither 
you  nor  yours  will  be  content  with 
old  methods  of  teeth  cleaning.  Cut

Like  Nut  Bubbles 

Yet  It's  Whole  Wheat  Puffed 

There  lies  the  fascination  of  Puffed  Wheat. 

The  grains  are  light  and  airy — puffed  to  eight  times  normal  size. 
They  almost  melt  away. 

An  hour  of  fearful  heat  has  given  them  a  taste  like  toasted  nuts. 

Yet  they  are  whole  wheat.  Every  food  cell  is  exploded  so 
digestion  is  easy  and  complete. 

They  supply  whole-wheat  nutrition  as  no  other  food  can  do.  In 
lesser  ways  of  cooking,  the  outer  wheat  coats  pass  largely  undigested. 

Dozens  of  Delights 

The  three  Puffed  Grains  with  their  different  flavors  offer  dozens 
of  delights. 

They  are  not  for  breakfast  only.  Every  home  finds  countless 
uses  for  these  nut-like,  flimsy  grains. 

Remember  These  Three 

Puffed  Wheat  in  milk  is  the  utmost  in  a  food.  With  every  food 
cell  broken  it  is  easy  to  digest. 

For  luncheons,  suppers  and  at  bedtime  there  is  nothing  to  compare 
with  this  dishi 

Puft'ed  Rice  or  Corn  Puffs  mixed  with  fruit  adds  a  delicious  blend. 
It  adds  what  a  light  and  dainty  crust  adds  to  shortcake  or  to  pie. 

Puffed  Rice  or  Corn  Puffs,  crisped  and  lightly  buttered,  become  a 
food  confection. 

Have  a  dish  ready  when  the  children  come  from  school.  They 
will  eat  them  like  peanuts  or  popcorn.  And  they  take  the  place  of 
foods  less  healthful,  less  easy  to  digest. 

Millions  of  children  are  now  enjoying  Puffed  Grains,  but  not  half 
of  them  get  enough. 

Every  home  should  keep  all  three  Puffed  Grains  on  hand.

posters  and  cleverly  carved  toys — all 
from  far-ofif  Japan. 

"Isn't  it  sweet  of  them  to  like  me  so 
well?"  Francelia  said,  gratefully.     "But 
the  way  they  express  their  admiration — ^  j 
you  must  read  some  of  their  letters !" 

One  Oriental  epistle  was  on  a  long  I 
strip  of  thin  rice  paper,  in  verse  form, 
and  with  delicately  painted  flowers  out- 
lining the  edge.  Another  was  inscribed 
on  silk,  and  commenced,  "Miss  Billing- 
ton,    dear    sir "      Japanese    fans,    it 

seems,  do  not  believe  in  expressing  their 
admiration  merely  in  words.  Almost  all 
of  them  sent  material  tokens  of  their 
esteem,  ranging  from  expensive  kimonos 
to  postal  coupons  which  could  be  ex- 
changed for  stamps.  Many  of  them  sent 
their  pictures,  and  two  girl  admirers  of 
flapper  age  sent  photographs  in  their 
"swimming  suits,"  tho  how  they  would 
be  able  to  navigate  in  the  water  was  a 
problem  which  Francelia  and  I  gave  up. 
We  recommend  it  to  the  attention  of  the 
Sennett  bathing  beauties. 

It  must  not  be  supposed  that  Miss  Bil- 
lington's  popularity  is  limited  to  Japan. 
Her  work  with  Kalem,  American  and 
Universal  is  widely  and  favorably  known, 
and  her  emotional  role  in  "Blind  Hus- 
bands" gave  her  even  greater  opportuni- 
ties to  display  her  talents.  This  role,  in- 
deed, again  brought  her  strongly  into  the 
screen  limelight  and  attracted  unusual 
interest. 

"Oh,  just  one  more  letter  before  you 
go !"  Francelia  urged,  with  the  unex- 
pected little  quirk  of  the  mouth  that 
comes  when  she  smiles.  "It's  the  prize 
of  my  'fan'  collection,  and  if  you  can  tell 
me  what  it's  about,  I'll  give  you  one  of 
these  posters." 

I  got  the  poster,  but  I  didn't  win  it. 
Francelia  was  generous  enough  to  let  me 
have  it  anyway.  Do  you  think  you  could 
have  won  it?  This  is  what  the  letter 
said: 

"Dear,  F.  Billington — I  double  to  say  that  I 
cant  well  versed  in  composing  an  English. 
But  these  sort  letter  is  taken  your  intresting. 
I  think  so.  I  am  writing  for  you  that  I  am 
very  glad.  Then  I  have  taken  your  beautiful 
photograph  by  your  kindness.  I  am  ven.- 
found  the  autograph  of  the  famous  actoress. 
But,  generally  person  are  giving  me  by  pnnt. 
You  are  very  kindness  man. 

"I  am  thankful  your  truth  heart,  and  I  am 
longing  to  preserves  your  envelope  with  the 
pholo. 

"Now  Miss.  Much  to  my  regret  then  your 
photo  was  not  so  clear.  I  am  very  regret  what 
a  beautiful  itself. 

"If  you  have  a  good  kind.  Please  beared 
me  to  my  request  and  send  me  another  delight- 
ful one.  I  think  you  shall  be  to  send  it  for 
me.  Excuse  me  Miss.  I  am  so  unreasonable 
to  propose.  But  I  am  fond  your  truth.  Then 
I  have  to  make  application  to  you. 

"Now  I  am  out  for  you  some  of  the  nishikie 
(picture  print).  These  picture  is  famous  in 
our  country.     And  my  writing  picture  with  it. 

"And  some  of  the  bamboo's  pen  for  you. 
And  a  little  lovely  doll  with  it.     Use  to  play. 

"Dont  wait  to  write  me  of  your  health  and  ;

The  Dancin'  Fool 

(Continued  from  page  57) 

and  sister,  and  Uncle  Enoch  Jones,  con- 
temptuous of  what  had  gone  before, 
rociferously  disgvisted  at  that  "dancin' 
fool,"  as  he  anathematized  his  nephew. 

Harkins  did  not  gainsay  the  anath- 
ema. He  had  been  trying,  while  'Ves 
was  on  the  road,  to  beguile  Enoch 
Jones  into  selling  the  business.  Enoch 
had  not  been  wholly  unwilling.  He  had 
felt,  since  the  innovation  of  his  nephew 
and  his  methods,  like  an  atom  taken 
in  hand  by  a  cyclone,  and  he  wasn't 
at  all  certain  as  to  where  he  might  be 
cyclonically  deposited.  The  thing  was 
going  down-hill,  he  had  to  admit  that, 
and  Sylvester,  blame  him !  was  running 
up  expenses  something  fearful,  and,  so 
far,  he  hadn't  seen  any  of  the  efficient 
results  so  glibly  predicted.  All  he  had 
seen  were  a  lot  of  new-fangled  contrap- 
tions and  their  bills  to  do  work  hereto- 
fore done  by  honest  and  understanding 
hands,  and  a  "dancin'  fool"  smirkin'  and 
grinnin'  down  at  a  bunch  of  fool  people 
with  some  slip  of  a  thing  hangin'  to  his 
arm  .  .  .  efficiency  .  .  .  bah !  .  .  .  He 
didn't  very  much  care  for  the  talkative 
Harkinses,  but  they  offered  him  a  fair 
price  for  the  business  he  had  built  up, 
painfully,  by  hand,  only  to  have  it  ridi- 
culed, bandied  about,  jostled  and  torn 
asunder  by  the  "dancin'  fool"  his  sister 
(Elmira  had  always  been  a  fool  herself) 
had  given  birth  to  .  .  .  and  he  was  tired 
.  .  .  his  head  hummed  with  the  worry 
and  the  change  ...  he  was  old  and 
these  other  people  .  .  .  other  methods 
were  new  .  .  .  cruelly  new  .  .  .  Better 
to  take  the  price  they  were  kind  enough 
to  give  him  and  go  back  to  where  this 
young  upstart  had  but  recently  come 
from.  Then,  drat  him,  if  he  wanted  to 
make  jugs^  let  him  make  them  .  .  .  for 
the  enterprising  Harkins. 

He  was  thinking  these  things  when 
'Ves  came  up  to  him,  grinning,  and 
begged  him  to  go  back  to  the  office ;  he 
wanted  to  have  a  talk  with  him.  He  told 
him  to  take  the  Harkinses  along,  too,  if 
he  cared  to.  He  would  get  Junie  and 
follow  up.  Uncle  Enoch  said,  with  in- 
tent, that  he  did  care  to  take  the  Har- 
kinses along,  and,  when  'Ves  arrived,  half 
an  hour  after  the  others,  he  found  Uncle 
Enoch  almost  in  the  act  of  transferring 
the  Jones  Jug  Factory  to  the  Harkins 
interests. 

He  called  Uncle  Enoch  Jones  a  few 
hard  but  understandable  names  and  pro- 
duced from  every  pocket  his  wearing 
apparel  boasted  contracts  secured  by  him 
on  his  trip  big  enough  and  solid  enough 
and  soaring  enough  to  make  the  Jones 
Jugs  famous.  The  dust  of  antiquity  was 
not  too  thick  in  the  eyes  of  Enoch  Jones 
to  miss  figures.  He  considered  them, 
while  back  of  the  enigmatic  specs  a  gHnt 
and  a  glimmer  began  to  grow.  Finally, 
"Facts,"  he  said,  "is  facts,  and  figgers  is 
figgers.  Mr.  Harkins,  I  have  recon- 
sidered." 

After  the  all  but  unmarked  retreat  of 
the  Harkinses  and  the  reluctantly,  the

The  Best 
Thing  in  Life 

By   ELIZABETH   PELTRET 


IT  was  just  before  luncheon,  when  we 
were   sitting  in  the   garden,   that   Kip- 

hng's  "Jungle  Book"  got  mixed  up 
with  lack  Gilbert's  first  interview. 

This  was  strange,  because  we  hadn't 
been  talking  about  books  at  all. 

On  the  contrary,  we  had  been  talking 
about  moving  pictures  and  ^Maurice  Tour- 
neur  and  ham  sandwiches  and  milk  and 
Maurice  Tourneur.  With  Jack  Gilbert, 
just  at  present,  all  conversational  roads 
lead  to  Maurice  Tourneur.  He  may 
begin  by  mentioning  his  own  efforts  to- 
wards putting  on  flesh,  but  he  will  inva- 
riably end  by  telling  you  that  Maurice 
Tourneur  is  a  god. 

We  tried  to  get  into  the  studio  cafe- 
teria, but  it  was  crowded  to  the  doors. 

"Let's  walk  around  for  a  while,"  sug- 
gested Gilbert. 

The  sun  had  broken  thru  the  fog  only 
about  an  hour  before  and  the  Goldwyn 
studio  garden  was  at  its  best.  Shrubs 
and  ferns  and,  further  away,  eucalyptus 
•Xees,  made  spots  of  comparative  dark- 
ess   to   relieve   the   glare   on   the    white

Tack  Gilbert  is  but  twenty-

of  his  earliest  memories 
is  being  stranded  in  a  little

"Pretty,"  remarked  my 
companion,  appreciatively. 
We  seated  ourselves  where 
the  sun  was  warmest. 

"You  write  stories,  dont 
you  ?"  I  asked. 

"Yes ;  I  was  in  the  sce- 
nario   department    of    the 
Gibraltar  Company,  but  it 
blew  up  just  about  the  time  I  got  well  started.     Then  I 
made  a  resolution  to  write  a  story  a  day  for  the  purpose 
of  improving  my  mind.    After  about  five  days,  I  decided

"What  foreign  languages  did  you  learn?" 
He  laughed  and  traced  a  circle  in  the  garden  path  with 
his  cane. 

"Actors,"  he  said,  "are  like  monkeys.  Did  you  ever 
read  Kipling's  'JunS^e  Book'?  Yes?  Then  you  know 
how  monkeys  are.  They  play  with  one  thing  for  a  while 
until  they  get  tired  of  it,  then  they  let  it  go  and  jump  to 
something  else.  And  imitative ;  the  only  way  an  actor 
can  improve  his  work  is  by  watching  some  other  actor. 
When  a  John  Barrymore  picture  comes  to  town,  I  go  to 
see  it  five  or  si.x  times.  But  just  as  a  monkey,  no  matter 
what  he  may  pick  up  and  drop,  sticks  to  his  trees,  so  an 
actor  sticks  to  his  work.  He  cant  help  it ;  it's  second

Beverly  Tr avers 

The  Fear  Woman" 


Beverly,  the  charming  girl  in 
white,  is  doing  wonderful  work. 
She  has  a  natural  dramatic  ability 
coupled  with  beauty  and  person- 
ality, and  we  look  for  her  to  go 
far  in  the  film  world. 

Goldwyn  Picture 


Not  only  do  I  use  Ingram's  Rouge 
but  I  have  recommended  it  to 
many  friends.  I  like  it  particularly 
because  it  does  give  a  truthfully 
natural  color  and  it  never  runs, 
no  matter  how  warm  the  day  or 
work. 


Itl^t&m's 


Pallor  places  almost  any  woman  at  a  disadvantage.  To  appear 
at  her  very  best,  she  needs  a  finishing  touch  of  color;a  soft,  natural, 
girlish  tint,  such  as  Ingram's  Rouge  imparts. 

Ingram's  Rouge  is  excellent  in  every  way,  and  unusual  in  some 
ways.  It  will  not  run;  it  will  not  streak;  it  is  not  affected  by  per- 
spiration; nor  will  it  harm  the  skin,  for  its  color  is  not  absorbed. 
Prepared  in  daintily  scented  cakes,  which  are  less  wasteful  than 
loose  powder,  it  is  sold  in  three  perfect  shades.  Light,  Medium  and 
Dark.   Price  50  cents.

would  a  new  home.  Inter- 
nationally famous  for  its 
exquisite  beauty  of  tone, 
the  Sonora,  clear,  accurate, 
lovely,  gives  every  delicate 
shade  of  expression  that  is 
in  the  original  rendition. 

In  appearance  Sonora  is  dis- 
linctive  and  delights  the  connois- 
seur of  cabinetry.  Upright  models 
are  notable  for  their  "bulge"  de- 
sign lines  which  are  found  in  the 
finest  furniture  and  which,  pro- 
duced by  patented  processes,  are 
exclusive  with  Sonora.  Period 
styles  illustrate  the  best  work  of 
the  greatest  masters  ol  all  times. 
The  Sonora.  designed  for  those 
who  want  the  highest  possible 
quality,  plays  ALL  MAKES  of 
disc  records  perfectly  without  ex- 
tra attachments  and  has  many

Gossip  of  the  Pacific  Coast 

(Continued  from  page  66) 


represented  the  Studio  Girls'  Club  and 
drove  over  in  her  Uttle  brown  Scripps- 
nooth. 

They  are  keeping  Helen  Eddy,  of  the 
Ckib,  very  busy  at  the  Hollywood  Com- 
munity Theater,  besides  her  work  witli 
Mr.  Beban.  Helen  is  so  versatile  and 
lias  such  a  fine  voice  that  delivery  of  her 
lines  is  always  listened  to  with  great 
pleasure. 

The  Southern  Pacific  station  was 
crowded  one  afternoon  as  I  dropped  in 
to  bid  farewell  to  a  friend  departing  on 
the  Ozi'l.  The  Christy  company  pro- 
ducing "Bringing  Up  Father"  was  occu- 
pying a  hollow  square  at  two  of  the  exit 
gates  and  an  audience  five  deep  stood 
about  the  outer  edges  of  the  square. 
Funny  Johnny  Ray  was  togged  out  in  a 
top-hat  garnished  with  a  bright-blue  rib- 
bon and  three  ditto  buttons,  and  as  the 
echoes  are  very  noticeable  at  the  termi- 
nal station,  everything  he  said  was  car- 
ried for  hundreds  of  feet.  A  train 
dispatcher  had  nothing  on  Mr.  Ray! 
The  tourists  are  entranced  whenever 
they  happen  to  witness  a  free  show  like 
this.     It's  funny  to  hear  their  comments. 

Donald  Crisp  is  directing  "Held  by  the 
Enemy,"  and  there  are  more  people  in 
Northern  and  Southern  uniforms  and 
crepe  hair  mustaches  ambling  up  and 
down  Vine  Street  at  luncheon  time  than 
you  could  imagine.  It  reminds  me  of 
that  old  panorama  of  Gettysburg.  It  is 
droll  to  see  the  "dead"  men  arise  when 
the  noon  whistle  blows.  They've  an  at- 
tendant out  there  who  smears  thick  mud 
over  the  countenances,  hands  and  cloth- 
ing of  the  hundreds  of  extras  employed 
at  five  dollars  per  diem.  'Tis  very  real- 
istic. The  women  in  hoop-skirts  have  a 
difficult  time  getting  luncheon  at  the 
small  nearby  cafe,  but  the  leading  play- 
ers manage  to  stuff  themselves  into  cars 
and  drive  over  to  the  Boulevard,  where 
there  are  some  good  light  lunch  places 
and  French  cafes. 

Gloria  Swanson  always  drives  over, 
because  she's  particularly  fond  of  toasted 
bread  with  chicken  en  mayonnaise  as  a 
filling,  and  the  waiter  knows  to  the  frac- 
tion of  an  inch  how  she  likes  the  bread 
cut.  Ethel  Claj'ton  has  a  lot  of  extras, 
too,  and  the  Lasky  lot  is  a  busy  place 
this  spring,  every  company  working 
overtime. 

I  noticed  Wally  Reid  in  a  gorgeous 
blue  silk  lounging  robe  sunning  himself 
at  noon  in  front  of  the  enclosed  stage 
and  enjoying  the  society  of  fat  Walter 
Hiers,  who  is  called  "The  .Soft-Drink 
Kid."  Mr.  Hiers  is  always  telling  jokes, 
singing,  or  otherwise  amusing  not  only 
stars  but  extras.  He  was  wearing 
gaiters  with  inset  rubber,  and  is  playing 
in  "Held  by  the  Enemy."  He's  under  a 
five-year  Lasky  contract  now,  and  looks 
as  if  he  were  quite  lot-broken  and  at 
home  on  Vine  Street.  There's  one  thing 
about  genial  Walter,  he  is  big  enough  to 
be  found  easily,  and  his  merry  chirps 
give  away  his  whereabouts,  anyway. 

Monte  Blue  is  wearing  tortoise-shell 


goggles  olifstage.  That  pair  of  spectacles 
gives  Monte  a  sort  of  sentimental,  poetic 
air.  One  expects  to  hear  him  burst  forth 
into  limericks — he's  quite  a  hand  at 
jingles,  be  it  known.  Raymond  Hatton, 
beloved  on  the  Lasky  lot,  has  become  a 
Goldwyn  feature  player.  Nobody  be- 
grudges Ray  his  good  fortune,  for  he's 
worked  steadily  for  advancement,  even 
playing  untitled  parts  in  some  of  the 
larger  productions  for  Mr.  de  Mille,  just 
to  give  proper  characterization  to  what 
would  have  been  a  minor  part  in  less 
capable  hands. 

Herbert  Heyes  has  taken  this  town  by 
storm  in  "Civilian  Clothes,"  which  has 
run  steadily  for  nine  months  at  the  Mo- 
rosco  Theater,  Los  Angeles.  Not  long 
ago,  Clyde  Fillmore  told  me,  when  step- 
ping out  of  the  aforesaid  clothes  into  a 
Lasky  contract,  that  he  thought  Heyes 
would  be  the  best  Sam  McGinnis  of 
them  all.  The  local  papers  are  raving 
over  Mr.  Heyes'  conception  of  the  part, 
altho  they  fairly  admit  that  both  Thurs- 
ton Hall  and  Clyde  Fillmore  seemed 
incapable  of  improvement,  so  well  did 
they  play  their  parts. 

Priscilla  Dean  has  really  wed  Wheeler 
Oakman,  a  former  stock  company  man 
here.  They  were  married  in  February, 
at  a  "wedding  within  a  wedding"  on  the 
Universal  lot.  She's  as  saucy  a  bride  as 
you'd  wish  to  see — always  up  to  pranks. 

Lincoln's  Birthday  was  famous  for 
the  Wally  Reid  ball  at  the  Hotel  Alex- 
andria, heralded  in  advance  by  sky- 
bombs  dropped  by  Lieut.  Shirley  J. 
Short.  Viola  Dana  was  patroness,  es- 
corted by  Lieut.  Locklear,  whose  plane 
was  donated  for  the  cloud-massaging 
acts.  I  asked  Vi  if  she  were  engaged 
to  the  lef tenant,  and  she  answered,  most 
emphatically,  "If  you  value  your  life, 
repeat  not  that  question !"  They  do  say 
on  the  lot  that  Viola  sees  red  when 
quizzed  on  that  subject. 

Wherever  one  goes,  Edith  Roberts  is 
talked  about.  The  movie  colony  pre- 
dicts wonderful  things  for  Miss  Rob- 
erts. They  say  she's  as  clever  as  she 
is  beautiful.  She  has  had  a  fine  cast  for 
"The  Daring  Duchess,"  including  Henry 
Woodward,  Leota  Lorraine,  Stanhope 
Wheatcroft,  formerly  of  the  Morosco 
Theater,  Harold  Miller,  Kathleen  Kirk- 
ham  and  Ogden  Crane.  The  next  pic- 
ture for  Miss  Roberts  will  be  a  revival 
of  Clara  Louise  Burnham's  famous  novel, 
"Jewel,"  for  nowadays  stories  dealing 
with  metaphysical  healing  are  very  good 
money-makers.  Tommy  Meighan  told 
me  that  you  cant  buy  a  ouija  board  in 
New  York  on  short  notice,  that  the  wave 
of  psychic  phenomena  has  struck  not 
only  that  skeptical  money-making  burg, 
but  every  little  hamlet  thruout  the  coun- 
try. Nearly  everybody  at  the  studios  is 
interested  in  mediums,  and  lots  of  the 
girls  have  ciystals,  ideographs,  Jula 
boards — or  something  like  that.

Fitzmaurice  has  just  attained  the  dis- 
tinction of  producing  for  Paramount- 
Artcraft  in  his  own  name.  "George  Fitz-

surely  in  the  world  of  the  cinema. 


The  Pulse  of  the  Photoplay  Public 

(Continued  from  page  64) 

Mr.  Lasky  picked  up  an  exhibitor's  re- 

i  port.     "The  pulse  of  the  public  beats  in 

'  this,"  he  smiled,  and  then  he  concluded: 

"It  would  be  folly  to  say  that  we  lead 

our  audiences,  just  as  it  would  be  equally 

ludicrous  to  say  that  they  lead  us.     We 

are  finding  our  way  together."

Junie  Budd  and  Sylvester  were  alone.

and  the  present  partner  and  future  out-

"SHOOT  TODAY !" 
By  Walter  E.  Mair 

Peep  o'  day  in  January ; 
Winds  that  were  so  long  contrary 
Drift  to  sleep,  and  all  their  fretting 
Hardly  seems  worth  while  forgetting. 
(Some  one  breathes  into  my  ear 
That  a  picture-day  is  here.) 

Drowsy  dawn  in  January, 
[  And  tlie  tender  stars  unwary 
!  Taunt  their  rising  lord  and  master, 
j  While  he  threatens  their  disaster. 
I       (Ah,  what  is  it  seems  so  good? 
\      Nature's  in  a  melting  mood!) 

j  Wondrous  morn  in  January! 
j  'Twns  but  yesterday  that  Alary 

Wept  of  mother,  courts  and  lawing; 
I  But  .   ,   .  today,  the  ice  is  thawing. 
(Is  it  Mary  turns  to  say. 
"Shooting-light  is  great  today?") 
Happy  morn  in  January ! 


NOT  A  GENUINE  HERO 
She  saw  him  coming;  the  welcoming  light 
in  her  eyes  and  the  tender  smile  on  her  lips 
made  her  more  beautiful  than  the  roses,  pan- 
sies  and  morning-glories  that  grew  all  around 
her.  He  saw  her  watching  for  him,  and  waved 
as  he  hastened  thru  the  pasture. 

Then — then  it  happened.  The  bright  glow 
died  out  of  her  azure  orbs;  she  gave  a  quick 
little  gasp  and  keeled  over  into  a  convenient 
bed  of  skunk  cabbages. 

Instead  of  lightly  vaulting  over  the  fence, 
he  had  opened  the  gate  and  walked  in,  just  as 
you  or  I  would  do.

The  Best  Thing  in  Life 

{Continued  from  page  80) 


A 


nature    to    him    or   he    wouldn't   be    an 
actor." 

All  of  this  was  said  lightly,  and  then 
he  added,  with  boyish  seriousness,  that 
his  work  is  his  life;  that  he'd  rather  die 
than  do  anj-thing  else ;  that  he  would  a 
thousand  times  rather  die  than  not  suc- 
ceed in  it ! 

He  is  very  serious,  is  Jack  Gilbert,  and 
very  young,  in  some  ways  younger  e\'en 
than  his  twenty-three  years.  He  played 
you  will  remember,  the  part  of  a  four- 
teen-year-old boy  in  Mary  Pickford's 
"Heart  of  the  Hills."  Eut  since  then  he 
has  added  five  pounds  of  breadth  to  his 
five  eleven  of  height,  with  the  promise  of 
more  from  the  physical  instructor  of  the_ 
Los  Angeles  Athletic  Club,  where  he 
lives.  Also,  he  played  a  "heavy,"  (his 
first  role  of  that  sort),  in  "Sliould  a 
Woman  Tell  ?"  vv'ith  Alice  Lake,  and  the 
strongly  sympathetic  part  of  the  puri- 
tanical garden  boy  in  the  George  Loane 
Tucker  picture,  "Ladies  Must  Live." 

On  the  day  I  saw  him  -he  had  just 
signed  a  two-year  contract  with  Tour- 
neur  and  he  was,  he  said,  in  the  seventh 
heaven,  happier  than  he  had  ever  been 
in  his  life  before.  A  director  can  make 
or  break  his  people  ...  it  meant  every- 
thing, he  said,  absolutely  everything,  to 
be  with  the  right  one,  and  Tourneur 
could  bring  out  the  best  there  was  in 
you !  He  would  praise  you  to  the  sky 
when  you  did  anything  well  and  perhaps 
break  a  chair  over  your  head  when  you 
did  anything  badly  .   .   .  Gilbert  laughed. 

"He  wont  let  his  people  overact,  tho," 
he  went  on,  "and  he  doesn't  kill  your 
enthusiasm.  He  makes  you  want  to  do 
your  best  every  minute,  because  you 
know  that  the  work  you  are  doing  with 
him  will  live,  that  it  means  something. 
Did  you  see  'Victory'?  Didn't  he  just 
take  you  to  the  South  Sea  Islands?" 

Gilbert's  eyes  are  dark-brown  and 
have  in  them  much  of  the  romantic  mys- 
ticism of  the  Celt.  His  feeling  of  hero- 
worship  for  Maurice  Tourneur  is  real, 
quite  the  realest  thing  imaginable,  and 
one  knows  that  Mr.  Tourneur  must  be 
conscious  of  it  and  proud  of  it,  too. 

We  left  the  garden  and  went  to  the 
cafeteria,  where,  neither  of  us  being 
particularly  hungry.  Jack  Gilbert  had  a 
piece  of  apple  pie  and  I  had  a  ham  sand- 
wich, and  we  both  drank  milk  for  the 
sake  of  the  extra  pounds  it  might  add. 
"You  must  drink  it  very  slowly,"  he 
advised. 

He  was  born  in  Ogden,  Utah.  "Al- 
most a  Mormon,"  he  remarked.  His 
mother,  Ida  Adair,  was  a  well-known 
.stock  actress.  His  father,  Walter  Gil- 
bert, also  an  actor,  is  at  present  stage 
director  of  the  Baker  stock  company  at 
Portland,  Oregon. 

Jack,  or,  to  give  him  his  full  name, 
John  C.  Gilbert,  made  his  first  profes- 
sional appearance  at  the  ripe  old  age  of 
six  months,  when,  in  company  with 
Eddie  Foy's  oldest  son,  he  crawled  on 
the  stage  at  the  end  of  an  act.  It  was  at 
about  this  time  that  he  began  to  dread 


the  loneliness  of  Thanksgiving  and 
Christmas.  This  is  a  feeling  that  be- 
longs to  all  actors,  an  unfailing  mark  of 
the  professional  who  is  usually  away 
from  home,  if  he  has  one,  and  who  has  to 
give  an  extra  performance  into  the  bar- 
gain. However,  the  most  vivid  recollec- 
tion of  his  childhood  is  of  an  incident 
that  happened  when  he  was  about  eight 
years  old. 

He  and  his  father  were  "barnstorm- 
ing" with  a  company  playing  some  wild 
and  woolly  melodrama  the  name  of 
which  he  has,  of  course,  forgotten.  In 
a  little  town  in  Arkansas  they  cleared  a 
little  something  from  the  receipts  and 
the  manager,  seeing  his  chance,  left  the 
company  very  suddenly,  taking  with  him 
the  little  something.  To  make  a  bad 
matter  worse,  a  cyclone  came  along  in 
the  middle  of  the  night  and  blew  away 
most  of  the  town  .    .    . 

"We  were  stranded.  My  father  and 
I  had  to  go  work  washing  dishes  in  a 
little  railroad  lunch-room  to  get  money 
enough  to  get  out !" 

Those  were  early  .  .  .  very  early  .  .  . 
struggles.  His  screen  career  began  with 
Triangle-Ince.  "Golden  Rule  Kate"  and 
"The  Mother  Instinct." 

He  made  "More  Trouble"  for  Vita- 
graph,  (no  pun  intended),  and  "Wed- 
lock" for  Paralta.  His  first  picture  for 
Maurice  Tourneur  was  "The  White 
Heather."  When  I  saw  him,  they  were 
just  "shooting"  "The  Glory  of  Love."  I 
almost  forgot  to  say  that  a  number  of 
the  scenarios  he  wrote  were  produced, 
one  of  them  by  Henry  B.  Walthall. 

After  lunch,  we  walked  over  to  the 
stage  and  sat  on  the  edge  of  the  set, 
showing  a  wax-works  exhibition  in 
Paris,  waiting  for  Jack  Gilbert  to  be 
called. 

"It  is  not  a  good  thing,"  Gilbert  re- 
marked, "for  an  actor  to  marry  outside 
the  profession." 

"Is  it  a  good  thing,"  I  asked,  "for  an 
actor  to  marry  at  all  ?" 

"Oh,  yes !  No  man  ever  won  great 
success  unless  he  had  a  woman  to  help 
him.  That  is  true  not  only  of  actors, 
but  of  all  the  big  people  of  history !" 

So,  you  see  that  Jack  Gilbert  is  still 
looking  forward  to  tiie  best  thing  in  life, 
a  romance  that  will  do  its  share  towards 
making  him  famous. 


OPPORTUNITY 
By  Ch/Srlotte  Bf.cker 
Fate  led  two  wanderers  to  a  shininpr  place 

Where  ghostly  forms  awaited  silently. 
And  thus  he  spoke:    "Choose  each  from  this 
dream-race. 
A  guiding-spirit  for  the  years  to  be." 

And  one  bent  eagerly,  and  chose  as  his 

A  radiant  being,  fair  and  stronc  and  wise; 

The  other,  watching  idly,  answered  this: 
"Choose    for    me.    Master,    blinded    are    my 
eyes." 

And  Fate  led  to  him  one  who  stood  aside 
With     folded    wings,    and    weary,    joyless 
breath.  „ 

Then  to  the  first,  he  said,  "Life  is  thy  guide. 
And    to    the    second    murmured,    "Thine    is 
Death  I"

The  Choice  of  Professionals 


Tom  Brown,  of  the  famous  Six  Brown  Brothers,  the 
highest  priced  musical  act:  "Your  improved  models 
prompted  me  to  adopt  them  Renerally.  Nearly  every 
memberof  my  several  different  orsanizat  ions  uses  your 
True-Tone  Saxophones  to  their  entire  satisfaction." 

Will  F.  Newlan,  Director  of  Newlan's  School  of  Music. 
Chicago  and  former  director  of  the  famous  Kilties 
Band:  'T  have  been  using  a  True-Tone  Saxophone 
for  10  years.  I  recommend  them  to  my  friends  and 
pupils  because  I  candidly  believe  they  are  the  most 
perfect  saxophones  made." 

Clay  Smith.  Trombone  Soloist,  of  the  popular  and  well 
known  Smith  -  Sprmg- Holmes  Orchestral  Quintet: 
"Your  new  Model  37  Trombone  is  the  best  on  the 
market  today.  I  can  play  my  difficult  solos  better,  and 
with  less  effort,  than  ever  before." 

Guy  Holmes,  of  the  widely  known  Smith  -  Spring- 
Holmes  Orchestral  Quintet:    "I  do  not  beheve  there's 


a  Cornet  made  that  equals  the  Buescher -Grand.  Every 
note  is  clear  and  so  easy  to  blow." 
Capt.  F.  A.  Bagley,  11th  District  Executive  Officer  of 
the  American  Federation  of  Musicians,  Calgary, 
Alberta:  "The  True-Tone  Saxophones  I  purchased 
of  your  company  are  very  fine  indeed  and  absolutely 
all  that  could  be  demanded  of  them.  I  believe  True- 
Tone  Saxophones  to  be  the  best." 
Mrs.  Alta  R.  Wells,  of  the  Apollo  Concert  Co.:  "The 
Apollo  Concert  Co.  of  which  I  am  a  member,  have  now 
for  nearly  3  years  been  using  nothing  but  True-Tone 
Instruments,  and  you  may  depend  upon  it  that  were 
your  instruments  not  superior  to  others  we  would  not 
have  used  them.  Nothing  but  perfectly  accurate 
instruments  would  fulfill  our  requirements." 
Nearly  every  member  of  the  Six  Brown  Brothers, 
Tommie  Brown's  Clown  Band.  Tommie  Brown's 
Musical  Review  and  Tommie  Brown's  Highlanders 
use  Buescher  Instruments.    Ask  them.

IWOTION  PICTURE 

A  Bigger  Fame  and  Fortune 
Contest 

{Continued  from  page  52) 
contest:  two  years  of  the  widest  pub- 
licity in  The  Motion  Picture  Classic, 
The  Motion  Picture  Magazine  and 
Shadowland.  This  publicity  includes 
special  interviews  in  each  of  the  maga- 
zines, cover  portraits  in  colors,  special 
pictures,  articles  by  well-known  writers, 
etc. 

The  Motion  Picture  Magazine, 
Shadowland  and  the  Classic  will  se- 
cure an  initial  position  with  one  of  the 
prominent  producing  firms.  The  judges 
alone  of  this  contest  constitute  a  hall  of 
fame.  Each  and  every  one  of  them 
stands  pre-eminent  in  his  or  her  particu- 
lar line  of  endeavor.  The  list  of  these 
luminaries  of  the  dramatic  and  photo- 
graphic world  will  be  published  in  a 
later  issue.    Watch  for  it. 

This  contest  is  open  to  every  man, 
woman  and  child.  There  is  no  age  limit 
or,  indeed,  limit  of  any  kind.  There  are 
no  residential  boundaries,  either.  If  you 
live  between  the  North  and  South  Poles 
and  New  York  and  Yokohama,  in  either 
direction,  you  are  eligible  to  enter  this 
contest. 

Of  special  interest  to  those  who  enter 
this  contest  is  the  announcement  that  a 
five-reel  drama  is  now  being  produced. 
The  honor  roll  winners  will  appear  in  this, 
as  well  as  the  winner  or  winners  of  The 
Fame  and  Fortune  Contest.  If  this 
chance  to  make  a  mark  in  the  film  world 
interests  you,  fill  out  the  coupon  you  will 
find  on  the  bottom  of  another  page  of 
this  issue  and  send  it  to  us,  together  with 
the  best  photograph  you  have  or  can 
have  made,  and  let  the  famous  judges 
decide  whether  you  have  something  in 
you  that  the  picture  lovers  all  over  the 
world  are  looking  for. 

The  attractive  women  who  have  so  far 
sent  us  their  names  and  pictures  for  this 
contest  still  outnumber  by  far  the  men 
who  have  entered.  It  should  be  remem- 
bered that  this  contest  is  open  to  the  men 
as  well  as  to  women,  and  we  again  urge 
our  masculine  readers  who  have  film  star- 
dom aspirations  to  send  us  their  names 
and  pictures. 

We  are  sure  that  there  are  many  men 
among  our  readers  who  have  these  aspi- 
rations and  have  only  waited  their  chance 
to  appear  before  the  lens.  Here  is  your 
opportunity.  Send  your  photographs  to 
us  and  they  will  receive  tlie  same  con- 
sideration from  the  judges  as  do  those  of 
the  fairer  sex. 

Those  entrants  who  finally  make  the 
honor  roll  are  to  be  congratulated,  since 
the  test  is  very  severe.  The  judges  give 
a  careful  and  painstaking  as  well  as  fair 
and  impartial  consideration  of  the  claims 
and  photographs  of  the  entrants  and 
those  who  are  picked  are  therefore  the 
most  nearly  perfect  entrants  for  each 
period.

Gossip  of  the  Pacific  Coast 

{Continued  from  page  82) 

married  again  in  February.  She  has 
sold  her  house  on  Bronson  Avenue,  right 
near  Victoria  Mix's  home,  and  bought  a 
larger  and  more  beautiful  mansion  not 
very  distant  from  the  Mixes,  for  I  dont 
know  what  Vicky  would  do  without  her 
mother.  Those  two  enjoy  shopping  to- 
gether as  few  mothers  and  daughters  do. 
Both  have  exquisite  taste  and  the  means 
to  gratify  their  longing  for  pretties. 

Lee  Moran  and  Eddie  Lyons  are  a 
pair  of  cut-ups  offstage.  When  Mr. 
Moran  was  laid  up  with  flu,  Mr.  Lyons 
continued  making  scenes  in  which  his 
partner  did  not  appear  according  to  the 
script.  Upon  Lee's  return,  Eddie  said, 
joyfully,  "Glad  to  have  you  back,  Lee ; 
heard  you  were  dead !"  Lee  grinned, 
winked  one  eye  and  said,  "Heard  the 
same  rumor,  Eddie,  but  knew  it  was  a 
lie,  minute  I  heard  it." 

Mary  Miles  Minter  will  stand  as  god- 
mother to  Juliet  Shelby  Whitney,  her 
namesake,  on  Easter  Day,  at  the  famous 
Mission  Inn,  Riverside,  California.  Char- 
lotte Whitney,  baby's  mother,  lives  with 
the  Shelbys,  since  Mary's  secretary  must 
be  constantly  on  hand  to  direct  her  pub- 
licity, answer  fan  letters  and  post  photo- 
graphs. Margaret  Shelby  has  an  excel- 
lent part  in  Mary's  new  picture.  On 
April  1st,  Mary's  eighteenth  birthday  was 
celebrated,  and  she  comes  of  age  in  Cali- 
fornia, altho  according  to  the  terms  of 
her  contract,  made  in  New  York,  she  is 
not  of  age,  "pictorially  speaking,"  until 
1923,  when  she  will  be  twenty-one. 

Miss  Minter  takes  herself  very  se- 
riously. She  is  quite  a  reader  and  has  a 
talent  for  writing,  and  I'm  expecting  to 
see  her  name  on  a  scenario  or  novel  be- 
fore she's  thirty  and  when  she  has  tired 
of  acting. 

Winifred  Westover,  at  last  report,  was 
dickering  about  the  payment  of  salary  in 
the  Swedish  motion  picture  concern 
which  stars  her  for  a  year  abroad.  It 
seems  that  Winifred  wanted  the  salary 
paid  in  American  coin,  while  the  pro- 
moters wanted  to  pay  her  the  contract 
salary  in  Swedish  currency,  which  would 
have  meant  a  considerable  loss  when  ex- 
changed. Cablegrams  have  been  sent  by 
all  concerned  and,  as  a  long-distance  dis- 
agreement of  this  sort  is  rather  expen- 
sive, we  all  await  the  outcome  with 
considerable  interest. 

The  winner  of  the  Fame  and  Fortune 
Contest  in  our  magazines  is  hard  at  work 
on  the  Universal  lot.  Virginia  Brown 
Faire  has  adopted  the  "U"  menagerie, 
even  including  a  vicious  horse  which 
she's  learning  to  "stick  by." 


THE  BURDEN 

By  Betty  Earle 

There  was  a  vast  pale  sobbing  once  that  leapt 

And  swelled  to  anguishes  as  on  a  sea 
Whose  mad-drenched   rocks   the  white   hands 
blindly  swept — 
And  then  at  last  a  strength  came  quietly. 

So  stand  I  like  a  shadow,  without  trace 

Of  grieving  left ;   only  solitude ; 
And  in  the  cool  the  night  is  all  my  face, 

And  over  all  the  stars  I  bend  and  brood.

The  above  figure   does  not  include  material  needed  for   religious,   cammercial  and  educational  films. 


SOMEWHERE  in  America  this  year, 
scores  of  new  motion  picture  writers 
will  be  developed.  (For  the  motion  pic- 
ture industry  must  have  a  continuous  sup- 
ply of  good,  new  story-ideas  if  it  is  to 
survive.) 

Most  of  these  new  photoplaywrights 
will  be  men  and  women  who  never  wrote 
a  line  for  publication.  They  will  be 
people  with  merely  good  ideas  for  stories, 
who  are  willing,  during  spare  hours,  to 
learn  how  picture  directors  want  their 
plots  laid  out.  Producers  will  pay  them 
$100    to    $500    each    for    clever    comedies, 


and  $250  to  $2,000  each  for  five-reel 
dramatic  scripts.  They  will  pay  these 
prices  because  they  must  have  stories. 
95%  of  book  material  is  unsuited  to  their 
need,  and  as  yet  not  enough  people  are 
writing  for  the  screen  to  supply  the 
demand. 

The  above  is  a  statement  of  fact  concerning  the 
motion  picture  industry.  If  you  have  a  story- 
idea  as  good  as  some  you  have  seen  produced,  this 
opportunity    is   wide  open   to  you. 

There  is  plerity  of  proof  that  producers  really 
do  pay  the  prices  stated  above.  For  they  are 
paying  these  prices  constantly  to  people  we  have 
taught  to  write  for  the  screen — people  who-  never 
saw    a    motion    picture    studio. 


In  Two  Short  Yeeas 

It  was  a  little  over  two  years  ago 
when  the  famine  in  story  plots  first  be- 
came acute.  Public  taste  changed.  Play- 
goers began  to  demand  real  stories. 
Plenty  of  manuscripts  were  being  sub- 
mitted, but  most  were  unsuitable.  For 
writers  did  not  know  how  to  adapt  their 
stories  for  the  screen.  Few  could  come 
to  Los  Angeles  to  learn.  A  plan  for 
home    study    had    to    be    devised. 

Frederick  Palmer  (formerly  staff  writer 
of  Keystone,  Fox.  Triangle  and  Univer- 
sal) finally  assembled  a  corps  of  experts 
who  built  a  plan  of  study  which  new 
writers  could  master  through  correspond- 
ence. 

The  Palmer  Course  and  service  has 
now  been  indorsed  in  writing  by  prac- 
tically every  big  star  and  producer. 
Back  of  the  Palmer  Plan,  directing  this 
work  in  developing  new  >vr iters,  is  an 
advisory  council  composed  of  the  biggest 
figures  in  the  industry.  It  includes  Cecil 
B.  DeMille,  Director- General  of  Famous 
Players- Lasky  Corporation  ;  Thomas  H. 
Ince,  head  of  the  Thomas  H.  luce 
Studios;  Lois  Weber,  America's  greatest 
woman  producer  and  director  ; "  Rob  Wag- 
ner, well-known  motion  picture  writer  for 
the   Saturday   Evening   Post. 

In  two  short  years  we  have  developed 
dozens  of  new  writers.  We  are  proud  of 
the  records  they  have  made,  and  wc 
prefer  to  let  them  speak  for  us. 

A  Co-operative  Plan — 
Not  a  Tedious  Course 

Our  business  is  to  take  people  who 
have  ideas  for  stories  and  teach  them  to 
construct  them  in  a  way  that  meets  a 
motion  picture  producer's  requirements. 
We  furnish  you  the  Palmer  Handbook 
with  cross  references  to  three  stories  jl^ 
ready  successfully  produced.  The  scena- 
rios come  to  you  exactly  as  used  by  the 
directors.  Also  a  glossary  of  studio 
terms  and  phrases  such  as  "Iris,"  "Lap 
Dissolve,"  etc.  In  short  we  bring  the 
studio    to    you. 

Our  Advisory  Service  Bureau  gives  you 
personal,  constructive  criticisms  of  your 
manuscripts; — free  and  unlimited  for  one 
year.  Criticisms  come  only  from  men 
experienced    in    studio    staff    writing.  Saiurday  t 

Special  Contributors 

Twelve  leading  figures  in  the  motion  picture  in- 
dustry have  contributed  special  articles  to  the 
Palmer  Course.  These  printed  lectures  cover 
every  phase  of  motion  picture  production.  Among 
others  these  special  contributors  include:  Frank 
Lloyd  and  Clarence  Badger,  Goldwyn  directors; 
Jeanie  MacPherson.  noted  Lasky  scenario  writer; 
Col.  Jasper  Ewing  Brady  of  Metro's  scenario 
staff;  Denison  Clift,  Fox  scenario  editor;  George

with  the  studios,  she  knows  their  needs, 
so  that  when  our  members  so  desire,  we 
submit  their  stories  in  person  for  them. 
Thus  we  not  only  train  you  to  write; 
we    help   you   to    sell   your  story-ideas. 

$3000  for  One  Story  Plot 

Our  members  come  from  all  walks  of 
life;  mothers  with  children  to  support, 
school  teachers,  clerks,  newspaper  men, 
ministers,  business  men,  successful  fiction 
writers.  In  short,  we  have  proven  that 
anyone  with  an  average  imagination  and 
story -ideas  can  write  successful  photo- 
plays once  he  is  trained. 

One  student,  G.  Leroi  Clarke,  formerly  a 
minister,  sold  his  first  photoplay  story  for 
$3,000.  The  recent  success  of  Douglas  Fair- 
banks' "His  Majesty  the  American."  and  the 
play.  "Live  Sparks,"  in  which  J.  Warren 
Kerrigan  lately  starred,  were  both  writ- 
ten by  Palmer  students.  Many  students 
now  hold  staff  positions,  four  in  one  studio 
alone. 

We  have  prepared  a  book,  "The  Secret 
of  Successful  Photoplay  Writing,"  which 
will  inform  you  of  the  Palmer  Course  and 
service  in  greater  detail.  If  you  desire  to 
consider  the  unusual  opportunity  in  this 
new  field  of  art  seriously — this  book  will 
be   mailed   to   you   free. 

At  Least  Investigate 

For  there  is  one  peculiar  thing  to  con- 
sider in  the  Palmer  Plan.  One  single 
successful  effort  immediately  repays  you 
for  your  work.  Not  all  our  members 
begin  to  sell  photoplays  at  once — natur- 
ally. But  most  of  them  do  begin  to  show 
returns  within  a  few  months.  And  the 
big  majority  are  not  literary  folks.  They 
are  people  who  have  simply  made  up 
their  minds  to  make  money  out  of  story- 
ideas  they  have  in  the  back  of  their  heads 
— and  incidentally,  perhaps,  to  gain  some 
reputation. 

The  way  is  open.  Producers  are  mak- 
ing every  effort  to  encourage  new  writers. 
The  demand  is  growing  greater  every  day, 
and  the  opportunity  is  rich  in  its  rewards 
because  it  is  young.  If  seriously  inter-

curtain,  a  bit  of  gold  pasteboard  for  a  crown,  she  danced,  sang 
and  gestured — and  created  for  herself  a  land  of  make-believe, 
a  world  that  none  of  her  family  or  ancestors,  so  far  as  any 
one  knew,  had  ever  dreamed  of. 

By  the  time  Ellen  was  fifteen  she  knew  quite  definitely  that 
she  was  going  to  be  an  actress.  She  was  not  abnormal, 
unusual  in  any  way.  In  reality  and  habit  she  was  like  the 
girl  friends  with  whom  she  walked  arm-in-arm  under  the  old 
elms  of  the  quaint  little  city.  But  deep  under  every  inherited 
habit  there  was  something  that  would  not  be  suppressed. 

One  evening  at  supper  she  announced  herself:  "Mother, 
grandmother,  I  have  decided  that  I  will  not  always  sing  in 
church ;  I  am  going  to  be  an  actress !"  Had  she  announced 
her  intention  of  being  a  plumber,  a  butcher,  an  anarchist,  her 
family  could  have  been  no  more  astonished,  more  hopelessly 

bewildered. 

Helplessly  they  searched  the 
family  tree  to  see  if  they 
could  spy  out  the  branch  that 
had  handed  down  this  per- 
verse inclination.  For  their 
Ellen  to  sing  in  church  for  a 
consideration  had  been  bad

Ellen  Cassity,  J.  Stuart 
Blackton's  latest  discov-

and  is  the  latest  beauty  of

It's  her  real  name  and  her  stage  name : 
Ellen  Cassity.     A  name  that  from,  the 

press  agent's  point  of  view  needs  no 
camouflage.  Surely  the  gods  of  luck 
must  have  taken  a  hand  at  her  christen- 
ing and  in  bestowing  upon  her  many 
more  true  gifts :  brown  hair  with  threads 
of  gold ;  slate-blue  eyes  with  velvety, 
dark-fringed  lashes ;  regular  features ;  a 
perfect  skin  and  a  shapely,  healthy  body. 
And,  if  they  had  the  gift  of  sight  and 
knew  that  the  wee  lassie  was  destined 
for  a  career,  they  gave  no  sign,  for,  with 
the  wisdom  of  their  kind,  they  knew  that 
gods  of  luck  and  gods  of  chance,  also 
careers,  must  bide  their  time. 

Ellen  Cassit)'  was  born  in  Jackson, 
Tenn.,  of  good  old  Southern  stock;  a 
people  proud,  upright,  uncompromisingly 
conservative.  A  family  of  gentlemen 
and  gentlewomen,  careers,  for  their 
womenfolk,  artistic  or  otherwise,  were 
not  even  considered. 

When  Ellen  was  five  the  family  moved  '""' 

to  Louisville.     Shortly  afterward  it  was 
discovered  that  the  small  daughter  had 
a  voice  of  unusual  quality.     She  was  given  lessons,  vocal 
and  instrumental,  and  at  the  age  of  ten  had  developed  into 
a  child  prodigv-  and  was  solfJ  soprano  in  a  churcli. 

Not  only  was  she  soloist  on  Sundays,  but  she  was  also 
the  star  of  her  grade  at  school  entertainments.  An  om- 
nivorous reader,  .she  spent  many  a  rainy  afternoon  in 
grandmother's  attic  and  in  Dickens,  Scott,  Stevenson,  and 
finally  a  set  of  Shakespeare's  plays,  she  discovered  a  secret 
door  to  another  world. 

LTnknown  to  her  adoring  family,  little  Ellen  began  to 
dream  dreams.  The  old  attic,  with  its  low  ceilings,  its 
dusty  rafters,  saw  strange  sights.  Before  an  ancient  mir- 
ror  with  tarnished    frame,   with    an    old   portiere,    a    lace

How  to  Make  "Vbur  Voice 

Success  -  Compelling,  Eriend  -Winning 

Does  Your  Voice  Attract  or  Repulse  People?     Read  Here  How  You  Can  Have  a 
Perfect  Voice— of  Magnetic  Force  That  Will  Draw  Friends  and  Success  to  Your  Side. 


THINK  for  a  moment  what  a  big  part  the 
tone  of  your  voice  plays  in  your  life!  How 
many  times  after  hearing  a  person's  voice 
have  you  remarked,— "Oh,  I  don't  trust  him,"  or 
"How  tiresome  she  is,"  or  "What  a  nerve- 
racking  experience  it  is  to  hear  his  voice."  And 
so  it  is  with  you. 

People    are     either     at- 
tracted    or     repulsed     by 
your    voice.     If    you    are 
a  man — it  means  a  great 
deal  to  your  future  busi- 
ness and  social  success  if 
people  can  say  of  you,  "I 
like    that   man's   voice,    so 
strong,   deep,   and  mellow        _    _      »».■». 
that     it     just     rings     sin-         The  Saw-tooth  Voice

every     singer     or     public 

speaker,  every  one  who  stutters,  stammers,  or 
hsps,  can  now,  through  a  wonderful  new 
method  of  voice  culture,  gain  this  splendid 
power — a  perfect  voice  of  success-compelling, 
friend-winning  force. 

Make  Your  Voice  Perfect 

A  perfect  voice  can  now  be  yours.  Eugene 
Feuchtinger,  A.M.,  the  famous  voice  culturist, 
has  proven  that  an\ 
voice  can  be  made 
perfect.  No  matter  if 
your  voice  is  weak 
or  wavering,  harsh 
and  grating,  droning, 
nasal,  stammering, 
stuttering  or  lisping — 
Eugene  Feuchtinger's 
amazing  new  system 
will   make   it  perfect. 

A  few  minutes  each 
day  in  silent  practice 
soon  gives  you  the 
perfect  singing  voice 
or  speaking  voice  that 
will  open  the  door  to 
numberless  social  or 
business  opportuni- 
ties. Within  an 
amazingly  short  time 
>ou  will  notice  the 
difference  in  your 
voice  —  it  will  be 
reaching  that  be.iuti- 
ful  tone  and  richness 
of      volume      which

voice  ring  with  conviction 
and  sincerity.  Make  it  a 
voice  that  will  thrill  all 
who  hear  it  and  impress 
upon  them  that  HERE 
is  a  person  of  culture, 
refinement,  sincerity, 
character. 

Singinff  '^^''^    ''""'^ 

i^iugiiig  singing  voice 
smooth,  steady,  full  and 
strong — the  kind  of  voice 
you  have  always  longed 
for.  Your  voice  can 
easily  be  made  perfect, 
the  best  singing  voice 
among  all  of  your  friends. 

npfprfivP  No  one  need 
UeieCUVe  suffer  any 
longer  from  the  disad- 
vantages of  a  defective 
voice.  Stuttering,  stam- 
mering, or  lisping  can  be 
overcome  for  good  and 
all.  A  defective  voice  is 
a  business  and  social 
obstacle.  Break  down 
that  obstacle — you  can 
have   a  perfect   voice.

judged    at    your    best — 

you  cannot  realize  your  full  measure  of 
success  and  popularity.  Whether  you  use  your 
voice  for  singing  or  public  speaking,  or 
whether  you  use  it  only  in  the  everyday  course 
of  your  business  and  social  life,  you  cannot 
afford  the  conticint  handicap  of  a  voice  of  in^ 
ferior  quality  and  power.  Yet  not  one  person 
in  a  hundred  knows  how  to  use  the  voice 
properly!  Nearly  everyone  has  one  or  more 
serious  faults  in  his  or  her  voice.  The  trouble 
is  that  scarcely  anyone  knows  how  to  control 
the  vocal  organs  which  produce  the  voice 
Unless  you  know  the  fundamental  principles 
of  this  control,  no  amount  of  practice  or  exer- 
cises of  the  ordinary  kind  will  make  your 
voice  perfect. 

But  now  the  secret  of  a  perfect  voice  can  he 
yours.  A  wonderful  new  method  enables  any- 
one to  quickly  develop  a  voice  of  surpassing 
beauty.  In  an  amazingly  short  time  you  can 
have  a  wider  range  of  tone,  more  volume, 
more  resonance.  A  rich,  vibrant  voice  that 
everyone  will  admire  is  easily  obtainable 
through  the  wonderful  scientific  discovery  of 
Eugene  Feuchtinger,  the  famous  voice  cultur- 
ist. His  remarkable,  exclusive  method  has  re- 
ceived the  endorsement  of  European  operatic 
singers,  of   eminent  public   speakers,   of    men 


and  women  in  every  walk  of  life.  Here  are  just 
a  few  of  the  delighted  expressions  of  opinions 
he  has  received;

My  Dear  Professor  Feuohtinger:  I  want  to  write  you  a  few 
lines  to  tell  you  of  the  wonderful  benefit  I  have  received  from 
your  method   of  voice   production   after  only  a  few  lessons. 

I  was  quite  discouraged  until  I  began  to  study  with  you. 
Now  I  am  delighted  with  my  dally  improvement,  for  your  method 
is  precisely  what  you  claim — infallible.  No  fault  can  escape  yolu 
notice   and   all   vocal   defects  are   corrected   by   your  ability. 

I  am  preparing  to  Wke  up  professional  work  again  In  ft  Terr

which  we  are  all  striving.  j    j       j  _«

MOTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC 

Ellen  From  Tennessee 

(Continued  from  page  88) 

enough,  but  she  had  the  gift  of  song; 
rightly   used,   it   might   help   others  and 
was    not    unbecoming    a    gentlewoman.  ! 
But  a  public  career — the  stage ! 

Quietly  but  persistently,  Ellen,  sought 
to  overcome  parental  objections.  She 
studied,  she  sang  in  church,  in  concerts, 
she  took  part  in  school  entertainments, 
she  attended  the  theater  whenever  pos- 
sible and  she  bided  her  time.  Finally  a 
theatrical  manager  and  friend  of  the 
family  advised  her  to  come  to  New  York 
and  her  mother,  still  unreconciled  and 
secretly  hoping  that  the  New  York  man- 
agers would  have  none  of  them,  came 
with  her. 

But  alas  for  maternal  hopes  !  The  very 
first  day  in  New  York,  thru  a  lawyer 
friend  whom  Mrs.  Cassity  had  known  | 
for  years,  Florenz  Ziegfeld  saw  the  beau- 
tiful young  Southern  girl,  noted  her 
grace,  her  charm,  and  signed  her  for 
"The  Follies  of  1917."  During  her  ca- 
reer with  "The  Follies"  her  face  was  the 
model  for  more  than  a  dozen  Clarence  B. 
Underwood  covers  and  a  well-known 
photographer  won  several  prizes  with 
art  studies  of  Miss  Cassity.  Finally  she  I 
left  "The  Follies"  to  sing  in  "Words  and 
Music"  with  Raymond  Hitchcock.  Fol- 
lowing this,  she  had  the  opportunity  to 
understudy  the  leading  role  in  "Pals 
First,"  later  going  on  tour  as  leading 
woman. 

And  then,  unfortunately,  Miss  Cassity 
was  obliged  to  undergo  a  severe  opera- 
tion on  her  throat  that  resulted  in  the 
weakening  of  her  voice.  So  she  decided 
to  accept  one  of  the  many  flattering 
offers  for  screen  work. 

"I  could  still  dance,"  she  says,  "and 
sing  some,  but  I  felt  that  it  would  be  best 
to  give  my  voice  a  rest  and  try  pictures. 
I  am  so  glad  that  I  did  and  have  no  idea 
now  of  going  back  to  the  stage,  but,  of 
course,  one  never  knows. 

"While  I  found  the  stage  interesting, 
I  find  the  pictures  even  more  so.  The 
stage  was,  to  me,  a  veritable  land  of 
make-believe.  But  the  pictures  are  more 
than  that.  They  are  a  series  of  wonder- 
ful adventures — every  day  is  different 
from  the  one  before.  Not  that  it  isn't 
hard  work,  it  is.  One  has  to  be  on  the 
alert  every  minute.  One's  physical  en- 
durance is'  put  to  the  test  very  often,  and 
often  there  are  real  dangers  to  encounter 
— as,  for  instance,  when  we  were  making 
'Checkers'  and  a  piece  of  glass  flew  into 
my  eye,  causing  me  to  suffer  tortures, 
even  endangering  my  eyesight.  All  the 
same,  I  had  a  wonderful  time  making 
'Checkers.' 

"Just  now  I  am  co-starring  with  Her- 
bert Rawlinson  in  'Passers-By,'  pro- 
duced and  directed  by  J.  Stuart  Black- 
ton,  and  I  want  to  say  that  it  is  a  great 
opportunity  to  work  with  Mr.  Blackton, 
who  is  a  gentleman  every  minute  of  the 
day  and  is  consideration  itself. 

"My   favorite  parts  and  hobbies  and 
ambitions?      I    like    drama    best,    with 
plenty  of  action — also  light  comedy.   Am

Why  do  women  weep? 
Why  do  men  chuckle? 

Why  does  the  whole  audience  clutch 
their  hands  and  strain  their  eyes? 


REMEMBER  how  the  fat  man 
ha  ha'd  right  out  and  got 
«-  the  audience  giggling  and  the 
old  lady  laughed  until  the  tears  ran 
down  her  cheeks.  What  a  wonder' 
fill  picture  that  was ! 

And  last  week  even  the  gruff  old 
bachelor  had  red  eyes  when  the 
hghts  went  on.  You  felt  as  though 
you  had  lost  your  own  sister  when 
Melissy  died. 

All  the  way  home  you  discussed 
the  story. 

Why  do  you  enjoy  this  picture 
or  that  one  so  much  ?  Have  you 
ever  stopped  to  think  why? 

First  it  was  such  a  human  story. 

And  the  star  was  so  sweet  in  the 
part.  You  always  did  like  her.  All 
the  characters  seemed  just  like  the 
real  people. 

And  the  scenes — real  rooms  in 


real  houses.  The  outdoor  pictures 
were  like  a  vacation  for  you — out 
in  the  open — daisy  fields,  sunshine, 
mountains,  deserts. 

Perhaps  you  didn't  notice  the 
photography,  you  were  so  interested 
in  the  story,  but  you  will  remember 
how  clear  it  was — how  beautiful  the 
lighting. 

These  are  the  things  you  will 
always  find  in  a  Goldwyn  picture. 
Interesting  stories  —  your  fevorite 
star — beautiful  settings — perfect  pho' 
tography.  Goldwyn  combines  them 
all.  When  you  see  a  Goldwyn 
picture  you  forget  your  troubles — 
you  forget  the  baby's  croup  and  the 
cook's  leaving. 

You  come  home  feeling  as  fine  as 
though  you'd  had  an  outing. 

Never  miss  a  Goldwyn  picture. 
They  are  the  ones  you  know  you 
will  enjoy.

Lloyd  Hughes 

His  Ship  Comes  In 

By  MARY  FORRESTER 


"That  picture,"  said  Lloyd  Hughes,  "did 
a  lot  toward  making  me  realize  how  much 
depends  upon  the  way  you  look  at  things." 

A  good  illustration  of  how  much  de- 
pends upon  the  way  you  look  at  things  is 
the  story  of  Lloyd  Hughes'  own  boyhood. 
Nothing  unusual  about  it ;  nothing  at  all. 
His  life  was  the  same  as  that  of  innumer- 
able other  youngsters.  But  he  looked  at  the 
world  thru  rose-colored  glasses  and  so,  at 
twenty-one,  he  has  found  a  rose-colored 
world. 

"When  I  was  a  kid,"  he  said,  "I  used  to 
stay  around  theaters  as  much  as  I  could. 
I  always  liked  them.  I  was  stage-struck 
even  then !" 

This  was  when  he  began  delivering  papers 
after  school.  He  used  to  make  plays  for  him- 
self, imitating  the  people  he  met  on  his  route, 
and  later  he  did  the  same  thing  when  he  got 
his  first  job  during  a  school  vacation. 

"I  was  a  butcher  boy,"  he  said,  "and  that 
position  gave  me  more  material." 
(Continued  on  page  94) 


Lloyd  Hughes  worked 
in  a  hardware  store  by 
day  and  went  to  a  dra- 
matic school  by  night. 
Then  he  began  as  a 
studio  extra.  His  hit  in 
King  Vidor's  "T  h  e 
Turn  in  the  Road"  led 
to  his  recent  Thomas 
Ince  contract 


Both  photographs  by  Evans,  L.  A. 

J LovD  Hughes  is 
I  ,  Youth  incarnate. 
This  doesn't  mean 
that  he  is  frivolous. 
On  the  contrary,  he  is 
very  serious,  with  the 
romantic,  humor- 
touched  seriousness  of 
the  Celt.  His  cheeks 
are  red,  his  eyes  blue 

and  his  hair  dark,  almost  black.  He  celebrated 
his  twenty-first  birthday  during  the  making  of 
King  Vidor's  "The  Turn  of  the  Road,"  and  it  was 
in  this  picture  that  he  played  his  first  leading  part ; 
in  fact,  his  first  really  important  part  of  any  kind. 
He  is  a  real  discovery.  His  ship  has  just  come  in 
and  he  is  beginning  to  unload  it,  keenly  conscious 
meanwhile  of  the  romance  of  it  all.  His  love  of 
romance  is,  indeed,  the  most  characteristic  thing 
about  him.  It  is  hard  to  picture  him  in  any  work 
which  would  not  be  colored  by  his  imagination. 

It  is  a  curious  thing  that  "The  Turn  of  the 
Road"  marked  in  more  than  one  way  the  turn  of 
the  road  in  his  life.  Not  only  did  it  bring  him 
success,  but  it  changed  his  entire  outlook.  It  is 
a  picture  marked  by  youth  and  hope  and  earnest- 
ness. Mr.  Vidor,  the  author  and  director,  is  him- 
self little  more  than  a  boy — "He's  twenty-four," 
said  Lloyd  Hughes,  as  tho  that  were  quite  ancient — 
but  he  had  something  to  say  and  said  it  well — 
because  he  meant  it.

Do  You  Know  How  Rich  You  Are? 

You  Realize  that  Your  Photoplay  Ideas,  if  Brought  to  Life 
Upon  the  Screen,  Might  Make  You  Wealthy? 


O  matter  what  your  profession,  vocation  or  trade,  be  it  lawyer,  teacher,  doctor,  news- 
paper-man,  engineer,   editor,  advertising  writer,  accountant,  clerk,  stenographer,  sales- 
man, or  telephone  girl,  etc.,  you  have  ideas  for  Photoplays  which,  if  put 
into  proper  form,  as  we  can  teach  you  to  do,  may  be  worth  anywhere  from 
$500  to  $5000  each. 

A  PROFESSION  OPEN  TO  ALL 
Photopla)'  writing  is  a  profession  of  the  first  rank,  from  the  standpoint  of 
enormous  earnings,  and  yet  it  is  open  to  "unknowns"  and  persons  without  previ- 
ous writing  experience,  to  a  degree  which  no  other  profession  is.     It  is  not  lim- 
ited to  "Geniuses"  and  so  called  "Born  Writers";  no  one  has  a  monopoly  of  it. 
We  are  bringing   forward  a   new  army  of  photoplay    writers,  recruited  from 
the  ordinary  walks  of  life,  and  they  are  producing  screen 
plays  of  amazing  quality.    Producers,  Artists  and  Direc- 
tors are  searching  for  the  man  or  woman  who  can  con- 
tribute a  fresh  note  or  new  idea,  and  are  ready  to  reward 
them  handsomely. 

ADRIAN  JOHNSON  FORMULATES  SYSTEM 

The  profession  of  pliotoplay  writing  has  been  brought  to  your 
very  desk.  Adrian  Johnson,  the  master  scenarist  of  the  entire 
profession,  whose  name  you  sec,  almost  weekly,  thrown  upon 
the  screen,  or  in  electric  lights  over  the  theatre  entrance,  as  au- 
thor of  the  play,  has  reduced  the  science  of  screen  writing  to  a 
teachable,  learnable  system  of  simplicity  and  accuracy.  The  per- 
son  of  average  intelligence  can  master  and  put   it  to  practical 

application.  His  system  covers  the  basic  rules  of  photoplay  writing  which 
experienced  writers  invariably  follow  and  which  beginners  must  know  to  get 
their  material  in  required  form.  It  comprises  20  lessons,  2  model  Scenarios 
of  successful  productions,  to  study,  imitate  and  as  patterns  for  your  Scripts; 
A  Dictionary  of  "Studio  Language."  the  very  words,  terms,  phrases  and 
expressions  used  among  Artists,  Directors  and  Producers,  besides  a  wealth 
of  necessary,  inspirational  and  developmental  information  gleaned  from  the 
personal  experiences  of  this  famous  writer,  in  his  meteoric  rise  from  an 
"unknown"  to  the  highest  pinnacle  of  success  in  this  profession.  With  this 
material  at  hand,  you  know  when  your  scripts  measure  up  to  professional 
form,  and  that  they  will  reach  the  producers  in  condition  to  invite  reading 
and   not   rejection. 

That  remarkable  photoplay,  "The  Miracle  of 
Love,"  featuring  the  brilliant  young  star.  Miss 
Lucy  Cotton ;  "April  Folly."  itnth  Miss  Marion 
Daznes,  and  "Checkers."  Mr.  Johnson's  latest  three 
successes,  are  now  being  shown  from  coast  to  coast. 
Mr.  Johnson  has  written  300  additional  produced 
photoplays.

STRONGFORT 
The    Perfect    Man 


Ai©  VOU  a  Man 
or  a.  Mannikin  ? 


A  man's  happiness  largely  de- 
pends on  his  Vital  Powers;  his 
success  in  social,  domestic  and 
business  life  all  centres  around 
this.  If  be  is  not  virile,  he  is 
not  magnetic,  forceful  or  at- 
tractive; neither  is  he  sought 
after — his  very  strength  is  the 
axis  upon  which  all  else  relating 
to  him  revolves.  Men  become 
weak  through  overwork,  worry, 
and  bad  habits,  and  gradually 
lose  their  strength  and  manhood. 
When  they  reach  the  stage  when 
they  .*ind  their  strength  on  the 
wane,  it  is  the  forerunner  of 
failure,  and  domestic  happiness 
is  then  soon  upset.  Young  men 
become  incap.ible  of  marriige, 
listless  and  purposeless;  their 
brain  power  decreases  as  their 
manhood  fails.  Strongfortism  so 
strengthens  the  internal  muscles, 
which  are  responsible  for  general 
health  and  physical  strength, 
and  the  most  obstinate  and  long 
standing  cases  give  way,  in  a 
short  time,  to  its  internal  action. 

MAKE  A  MAN  OUT 
OF  YOURSELF 

The  only  way  to  do  It  la  to  build 
up  your  body — all  of  It — throuRh 
Nature's  methods ;  NOT  by  pamper- 
ing >our  poi>r  stomach  and  kItihr  It 
extra  work  to  do.  Don't  be  a  pill- 
feeder.  And  don't  think  fate  L^ 
makine  you  a  failure.  The  real 
REASON  whj-  you  don't  succeed 
doubtless  lies  In  yoiu  poor,  emaciated 
body,  In  your  half  sickly  condition,  which  shows  In  your  face 
and  your  unhealthy  skin.  The  world  has  no  use  for  weak, 
slcklj-   people;  nobodj'   wants  to  have   them   around. 

BUILD  UP  YOUR  BODY 

You  can  do  it.  If  you  will  only  WILL  to  do  It.  and  go  about 
it  In  Nature's  way.  You  caji  make  your  flcure  manly  and 
symmetrical  and  at  the  same  time  strengthen  your  heart. 
luDss.  sioniach  and  everj'  other  rttal  organ,  by  developing  the 
INTERNAL  muscles  on  which  their  action  depends,  as  well  as 
your  external  muscles.  You  can  free  yourself  from  Constipa- 
tion, Indit^estioD.  Dyspepsia,  Biliousuess,  or  anj-  other  ehronlo 
aliment  that  is  handlcappiiic  you  and  holding  you  back, 
WHEN   VOU  HA\'E  NATURE   ON    YOUR   SIDE. 

Get  bad;  your  lieaitli,  slren^-lh  and  a  bis  store  of  reserve 
\itaiity.  by  taklnp  advantage  of  the  tremendous  revitalizing 
r>o\Ter  nhlch  Nature  has  implanted  In  everj-  human  organism. 

STRONGFORTISM 

The  principles  of  Strongfortism  are  based  upon  my  dis- 
covery— that  internal  muscular  actively  governs  Health, 
Stre»>;tii  and  Life  itself.  Most  forms  of  disease  are  caused 
from  Uie  muscles  losing  their  power  of  rapid  contraction.  Am 
these  muscles  are  responsible  for  holding  the  internal  organs 
in  position,  when  ihey  are  relaxed,  the  organs  gradually  fall 
out  of  their  place  and  rest  upon  other  organs,  upsetting  their 
functioning  and  causing  almost  everj'  known  form  of  disease. 
Strongforlism  gives  contractiib  power  to  these  muscles  and 
quickly  makes  them  normal  and  so  draws  the  sagging  organs 
back  to  their  position. 

WHiat  I  have  done  for  thousands  of  other  weak,  ailing,  dis- 
couraged men  and  women.  1  can  do  for  YOU.  There  Isn't  the 
.slightest  doubt  of  it.  \\Tiaiever  vour  present  condition  and 
whatever  brought  you  to  it  I  GUAJtANTBE  to  improve  you 
if  you  will  follow  my   directions  for  a   few  months.

Lloyd  Hughes 

{Continued  from  page  92) 
I  saw  him  at  his  home  on  Coronado 
Street,  Los  .Angeles.  It  is  an  attractive 
bung-alow,  painted  green,  with  a  wide 
lawn  and  plenty  of  flowers,  as  pretty  and 
homelike  a  place  as  any  one  could  find  in 
a  long  day's  journey.  Here  he  lives  with 
his  mother,  father  and  two  brothers. 
One  brother  is  eleven  and  the  other  sev- 
enteen years  old.  His  father  is  a  loco- 
motive engineer,  and  Lloyd's  earliest  am- 
bition, the  only  one  he  had  before  he 
thought  of  being  an  actor,  was  to  follow 
in  his  father's  footsteps.  This  was  in 
Arizona,  where  he  lived  on  a  ranch  near 
Bisbee,  close  to  the  Mexican  border. 
Incidentally,  he  has  lived  almost  all  over 
Arizona.  During  school  months,  the 
monotony  of  life  in  Bisbee  was  broken 
by  forbidden  swims  in  the  reservoir  and 
regular  pitched  battles  with  little  Mexi- 
cans— the  sort  of  life  out  of  which  Ham- 
lin Garland  made  literature. 

When  his  family  came  to  Los  Angeles, 
Lloyd  went  to  work  for  a  wholesale  hard- 
ware company  as  a  salesman.  Now 
there  is  plenty  of  romance  in  the  whole- 
sale hardware  business — after  you  have 
left  it.  While  you  are  in  it,  however, 
there  is  plenty  of  work.  The  stock  con- 
tains everything  from  a  needle  to  rail- 
road iron.  In  addition  to  his  regular 
work  he  went  to  a  dramatic  school  and 
memorized  a  part  in  a  play  every  week. 
He  must  have  worked  and  studied  all  of 
the  time.  He  saved  a  large  portion  of 
his  wages  from  week  to  week  and  at  last 
quit  and  started  in  doing  extra  work  at 
the  studios.  This  was  about  two  years 
ago.  A  great  deal  of  work  came  his  way. 
There  were  even  occasional  bits  and 
small  parts,  but  these  were  few.  He  has 
certainly  worked  very  hard  to  bring  his 
ship  to  port.  It  only  remains  to  be  seen 
if  he  will  work  equally  hard  unloading 
its  cargo.  Unless  one  has  an  unusual 
character,  success  at  such  an  early  age  is 
often  fatal  to  continued  success  later  on. 
Lloyd  Hughes  does  not  seem  to  face  this 
danger.  He  is  a  sincere,  earnest  boy, 
fully  conscious,  of  the  heights  still  above 
him.     It  is  certain  he  will  go  far. 

His  first  part  was  in  a  two-reel  com- 
edy-drama with  King  Vidor.  This  part 
led  to  an  engagement  with  the  American 
Film  Company  at  Santa  Barbara  to  play 
a  juvenile  lead  with  Margarita  Fisher. 
From  there,  he  came  back  to  Los  Angeles 
and  worked  at  LIniversal  City  as  the 
Third  Brother  with  Dorothy  Phillips 
in  Allan  Holubar's  "The  Heart  of 
Humanity." 

"After  that,"  said  Lloyd,  "came  'The 
Turn  of  the  Road.'  The  rest,  I  suppose, 
you  know." 

He  started  to  work  with  Enid  Bennett 
and  when  the  picture  was  half  finished 
he  was  given  a  two-year  contract  by 
Thomas  Ince.  He  was  recently  loaned 
to  Paramount  for  the  making  of  one  pic- 
ture with  Vivian  Martin. 

Asked  about  what  advice  he  would 
give  to  the  screen  aspirant,  (the  screen 
aspirant  always  wants  advice,  you 
know),  he  said :

MOTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC 

A  Bigger  Fame  and  Fortune 
Contest 

(Continued  from  page  86)

San  Antonio,  Texas,  is  a  Dixie  girl  with 
blue-grey  eyes  and  golden  hair,  weighing

So  many  of  our  readers  have  written 
to  us  asking  for  information  about  the 
(Continued  on  page  97) 


THIS  is  the  startling  assertion  recently  made 
by  E.  B.  Davison  of  New  York,  one  of  the 
highest  paid  writers  in  the  world.  Is  his 
astonishing  statement  true?  Can  it  be  possible 
there  are  countless  thousands  of  people  yearn- 
ing to  write,  who  really  can  and  simply  haven't 
found  it  outf  Well,  come  to  think  of  it,  most 
anybody  can  tell  a  story.  Why  can't  most  any- 
body Tiffite  a  story?  Why  is  writing  supposed 
to  be  a  rare  gift  that  few  possess?  Isn't  this 
only  another  of  the  Mistaken  Ideas  the  past  has 
handed  down  to  us?  Yesterday  nobody  dreamed 
man  could  fly.  To-day  he  dives  like  a  swallow 
ten  thousand  feet  above  the  earth  and  laughs 
down  at  the  tiny  mortal  atoms  of  his  fellow- 
men  below!  So  Yesterday's  "impossibility"  is  a 
reality  to-day. 

"The  time  will  come."  writes  the  same  au- 
thority, "when  millions  of  people  will  be 
writers — there  will  be  countless  thousands  of 
playwrights,  novelists,  scenario,  magazine  and 
newspaper  writers — they  are  coming,  coming 
— a  whole  new  world  of  them!"  And  do  you 
know  what  these  writers-to-be  are  doing  now? 
Why,  they  are  the  men — armies  of  them — 
ycung  and  old.  now  doing  mere  clerical  work, 
in  ofiices,  keeping  books,  selling  merchandise, 
or  even  driving  trucks,  running  elevators, 
street  cars,  waiting  on  tables,  working  at  bar- 
ber chairs,  following  the  plow,  or  teaching 
schools  in  the  rural  districts;  and  women, 
young  and  old.  by  scores,  now  pounding  type- 
writers, or  standing  behind  counters,  or  run- 
ning spindles  in  factories,  bending  over  sewing 
machines,  or  doing  housework.  Yes  —  you 
may  laugh — but  these  are  the  Writers  of  To- 
morrow. 

For  writing  isn't  only  for  geniuses  as  most  people  think. 
Don't  yoit  believe  the  Creator  gave  you  a  story-Hfriting 
faculty  just  as  He  did  the  greatest  ivritert  Only  maybe 
you  are  simply  "bluffed"  by  the  thought  that  you  "haven't 
the  gift."  Many  people  are  simply  afraid  to  try.  Or  if 
they  do  try,  and  their  first  efforts  don't  satisfy,  they  simply 
give  up  in  despair,  and  that  ends  it.  They're  through. 
They  never  try  again.  Yet  if,  by  some  lucky  chance,  they 
had  first  learned  the  simple  rules  of  writing,  and  then 
given  the  Imagination  free  rein  they  might  have  astonished 
the  world  I 

But  two  things  are  essential  in  order  to  become  a  writer. 
First,  to  learn  the  ordinary  principles  of  writing.  Second, 
to  learn  to  exercise  your  faculty  of  Thinking.  By  exer- 
cising a  thing  you  develop  it.  Your  Imagination  is  some- 
thing like  your  right  arm.  The  more  you  use  it  the 
stronger  it  gets.  The  principle*  of  writing  are  no  more 
complex  than  the  principles  of  spelling,  arithmetic,  or 
any  other  simple  thing  that  anybody  knows.  Writers 
learn  to  piece  together  a  story  as  easily  as  a  child  sets 
up  a  miniature  house  with  his  toy  blocks.  It  is  amazingly 
easy  after  the  mind  grasps  the  simple  "know  how."  A 
little  study,  a  little  patience,  a  little  confidence,  and  the 
thing  that  looks  hard 
turns  out  to  be  just  as 
easy  as  it  seemed  difficult. 
Thousands  of  people 
imagine  they  need  a  fine 
education  in  order  to 
write.  Nothing  is  farther 
from  the  truth.  The 
greatest  writers  were  the 
poorest  scholars.  People 
rarely  learn  to  write  at 
schools.  They  may  get 
the  principles  there,  but 
they  really  learn  to  write 
from  the  great,  wide, 
open,  boundless  Book 
of  Humanity!  Yes. 
seething  all  around  you.

every  minute,  in  the 
whirling  vortex  —  the 
flotsam  and  jetsam  of 
Life  —  even  in  your  own 
home,  at  work  or  play, 
are  endless  incidents  for 
stories  and  plays  —  a 
wealth  of  material,  a 
world  of  things  happen- 
ing. Every  one  of  these 
has  the  seed  of  a  story 
or  play  in  it.  Think!  If 
you  went  to  a  fire,  or 
saw  an  accident,  you 
could  come  home  and 
tell  the  folks  a  I  1  about 
it.  Unconsciously  you 
would  describe  it  all 
very  realistically.  And 
if  somebody  stood  by 
and  wrote  down  exactly 
what  you  said,  you'd  be 
amazed  to  find  your 
story  would  sound  just

True,  some  have  more  ability  than 
others — but  that  is  because  it  has  been 
developed.  Just  as  you  have  been 
taught  to  read  and  write,  you  can  be 
taught  to  draw.  It's  simply  a  question 
of  the  proper  training.  Why  stick  at  a

Not  a  Job 

A  career  is  open  to  you  as  commercial

There  is  no  future  for  you  in  a  "job." 
There  are  thousands  of  big  paying  Ar- 
tist's positions  open  right  noiu.  And 
these  positions  are  actually  going  beg- 
ginp  because  of  the  scarcity  of  trained 
artists.  Magazines,  newspapers,  adver- 
tising agencies,  business  concerns — all 
are  looking  for  men  and  women  who 
can  handle  their  illustrating.  With  the 
tremendous  boom  in  both  foreign  and 
domestic  business,  commercial  art  is

after  completing  this  wonderful  course, 
have  even  started  in  at  $60  a  week!

ished his  course,  he  has  made  more 
than  enough  through  the  sale  of  his 
drawings  to  pay  for  his  tuition.  Why? 
Because  he  learned  to  draw  under  the 
personal  instruction  of  one  of  the  coun- 
try's foremost  commercial  artists — Will

Tony's  Admirer.  —  Hold  on  to  what  you 
have  rather  than  reach  for  that  you  cannot 
get.  Oh,  yes.  I  have  met  Antonio  Moreno. 
In  fact,  lunched  with  him.  Alia  Nazimova

but  not  to  each  other. 

Mildred  S. — Haven't  heard  of  Marguerite 
Courtot  doing  cabaret  work.  May  Allison  is 
out  in  Los  Angeles,  and  Elsie  Ferguson  is 
working  in  New  York.  Our  sailors  wear  the

Verbena  B.— You've  got  the  right  idea 
there !     Call  again. 

K.  S.  Shioya.— Which  Mabel  do  you  refer

alive.     Write  me  some  more.

tablespoonful  of  turpentine  and  three  table-

Connie — Oh,  so  you  like  the  snappy  an-

to  you  without  snapping  at  you?  No  rela- 
tion. You  want  an  interview  with  Constance 
Binney.  Write  Nazimova,  Metro  Studio,  Los 
Angeles.  Cal.  Surely  you  can  be  my  friend, 
why  not  ? 

Sar.\h  H. — You  say  movies  will  never  be 
the  same  to  you  until  Norma  Talmadge  and 
Eugene  O'Brien  play  together  and  Constance 
Talmadge  and  Harrison  Ford  play  together. 
"This  thing  must  be  fixed  up  somehow,  so  the 
movies  will  be  the  same  to  you. 

Lillian  L. — Interview  with  Harrison  Ford. 
He  seems  to  be  in  great  demand  today.  Oh 
yes.  X-rays  have  been  used  to  tell  ages.  Some

X-ray.  You  say  Tom  Chatterton  and  Belle 
Bennett  are  playing  in  stock  in  San  Francisco. 

Esther  M.  F. — A  good  game  to  play  is  to 
take  photographs  of  the  moving  picture  play- 
ers and  tack  them  to  the  wall,  numbered, 
and  give  prizes  for  those  who  guess  the  most 
correctly.  Conway  Tearle  is  now  in  the  West. 
Wallace  MacDonald  is  out  in  Los  Angeles. 

Britisher. — I  beg  his  Royal  Highness'  par-

Orleans  ;  Liu.ian  F. — Please  see  above  for 
yours,  and  dont  fail  to  write  again. 

M.\ry  Jane. — Glad  to  hear  from  you.  You 
say  a  "perfectly  good  man  getting  only  $9.50 
per  week."  How  do  you  know  I  am  perfectly 
good?  How  can  I  be  perfect  and  good  too? 
Broncho  Billy  has  given  up  the  picture  busi- 
ness for  theatricals. 

Chkis. — You  should  have  entered  your  pic- 
ture in  the  Fame  and  Fortune  Contest.  'The 
editor  didn't  think  it  safe  for  me  with  all  the

Cascarets.' — So  that's  your  name,  is  it? 
Yes.  I  have  heard  orators  get  up  and  say  they 
didn't  have  anything  to  say  and  then  talk 
endlessly.  I  cant  tell  you  why  they  do  it. 
Your  letter  was  so  interesting  I  am  going  to 
quote  a  paragraph.  You  say  "I  knew  a  little 
girl  six  years  old,  who  was  sick  for  four 
years  with  oaralysis.  She  recently  died,  and 
every  evening  her  mother  used  to  have  to  tell 
fier  some  story  in  which  Mary  Pickford 
played,  often  she  told  the  same  one  over 
many  times,  as  Mary  didn't  play  in  new 
ones'  every  day.  Ruth  finally  passed  awav 
one  evening  just  as  her  mother  finished  tell- 
ing her  a  new  story  of  Mary."

MOTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC 

A  Resume  of  the  Fame  and  For- 
tune Contest,  Past  and  Present 

(Continued  from  pat/e  95) 
Fame  and  Fortune  Contest  of  last  year 
and  for  this  year,  that  we  think  it  ad- 
visable briefly  to  review  the  history  of 
the  contest  from  the  beginning. 

Late  in  1918  we  conceived  and  started 
the  Fame  and  Fortune  Contest  and, 
during  the  year  1919,  it  was  featured  in 
all  three  of  our  publications.  Nearly 
every  issue  of  each  magazine  contained 
several  pages  of  the  leading  contestants, 
which  we  called  the  Monthly  Honor 
Roll.  Photographs  came  pouring  in 
from  every  nook  and  corner  of  the  coun- 
tiy,  and  while  we  never  counted  them,  it 
was  estimated  that  we  received  over 
lifty  thousand. 

Our  idea  was  to  go  thru  the  country 
with  a  fine  tooth  comb,  as  it  were,  bring- 
ing out  all  of  the  young  girls  who  had 
motion  picture  possibilities.  We  feel 
safe  in  declaring  that  there  were  verj* 
few  villages  thruout  the  country  whicli 
had  not  heard  of  this  contest  and 
were  not  talking  about  it.  Nearly  every 
town  sent  in  a  representative  to  the  con- 
test. Those  who  read  our  announce- 
ments and  saw  the  pictures  of  the  lead- 
ers in  each  issue  of  our  three  magazines 
talked  about  it  to  friends  and  neighbors, 
and  even  wrote  to  distant  cities,  recom- 
mending that  certain  young  ladies  enter 
the  contest. 

For  example,  in  one  case  a  lady  living 
in  Dallas,  Texas,  had  a  niece  who  lived 
in  Denver,  Colorado.  She  sent  a  copy 
of  our  magazine  to  the  young  lady  and 
advised  her  to  enter  the  contest,  and  she 
did  so.  Tims,  even  those  who  were  not 
regular  readers  of  our  publications  learnt 
of  the  contest,  and  we  believe  that  the 
country  was  well  covered. 

However,  it  was  our  first  venture  and 
we  made  several  mistakes.  This  year 
we  are  making  good  use  of  our  first  ex- 
perience, and  we  are  confident  that  the 
Fame  and  Fortune  Contest  of  1920  will 
far  outshine  the  previous  one. 

On  account  of  the  recent  printers' 
strike,  and  traffic  and  freight  troubles, 
together  with  a  far-reaching  shortage  of 
paper,  we  have  been  very  much  handi- 
capped, as  have  all  other  publications, 
and  several  important  announcements 
regarding  the  contest  did  not  find  their 
way  into  our  columns.  But  for  these 
and  other  difficulties  we  would  have 
been  publishing  each  month  the  usual 
two  pages  of  beautiful  pictures  of  the 
contestants.  All  obstacles  have  been 
surmounted ;  the  Fame  and  Fortune 
Contest  of  1920  is  now  well  under  way 
and  running  in  full  force. 

Last  year  the  judgfes  of  the  contest  were 
Mary  Pickford,  Thomas  Ince,  Cecil  de 
Mille,  Maurice  Tourneur,  James  Mont- 
gomery Flagg,  Howard  Chandler  Christy, 
J.  Stuart  Blackton,  Samuel  Lumiere  and 
Eugene  V.  Brewster. 

The  judges  for  the  1920  contest  will 

probably  be  Mary  Pickford,  Mme.  Olga 

Petrova,     Howard     Chandler     Christy, 

Thomas  Ince,  J.  Stuart  Blackton,  Mau-

So  people  said  when  I  first  started  in  1891.  But 
now,  after  over  twenty-five  years  of  steady  growth, 
I  have  far  more  students  than  were  ever  before 
taught  by  one  man.  I  make  them  skilled  players 
of  the  piano  or  organ  in  quarter  the  usual  time 
at   quarter   the  usual   cost. 

To  persons  who  have  not  previously  heard  of  my 
method,  this  may  seem  a  pretty  bold  statement. 
But  I  will  gladly  convince  you  of  its  accuracy  by 
referring  you  to  any  number  of  my  graduates  in 
any  part  of  the  world.  There  isn't  a  state  in  the 
Union  that  doesn't  contain  a  score 
or  more  skilled  players  of  the 
piano  or  organ  who  obtained  their 
rulire  training  from  me  by  mail. 

Investigate  by  writing  for  my 
64-page  free  booklet,  "How  to 
Learn  Piano  or  Organ." 

My  way  of  teaching  piano  or  organ 

is  entirely  different  from  all  others. 

Out   of   every   four  hours   of    study, 

one  hour  is  spent  entirely  away  from 

the     keyboard  —  learning    something 

about    Harmony   and   The   Laws   of 

^^^^^^         jB  Music.     This   is   an   awful   shock  to 

^^^H^^^^^Pfj   most    teachers    of    the    "old    school," 

^^^P^^B^r^  J   who  still  think  that  learning  piano  is 

^^^^^gMlW     j   solely  a  problem  of  finger  gymnastics. 

J^^^mi    4  When   you   do   go   to   the  keyboard. 

.^i^^^^HB    m  you   accomplish   tzi'ice   as  rnuch,   be- 

^     ^^^^r^  ~5  c^i-ise  you  understand  ivhat  you  are 

doing.     Within  four  lessons  I  enable 

30U  to  play  an  interesting  piece  not 

only  in   the   original  key,  but   in   all 

other  keys  as  well. 

I  make  use  of  every  possible  scien- 
tific help — many  of  which  are  entirely 
iinknozvn  to  the  average  teacher.  My 
patented  invention,  the  COLORO- 
TONE,  sweeps  away  playing  difficul- 
ties that  have  troubled  students  for 
generations.  By  its  use,  Transposi- 
tion— usually  a  "night-mare"  to  stu- 
dents— becomes  easy  and  fascinating. 
With  my  fifth  lesson  I  introduce  an- 
other important  and  exclusive  inven- 
tion, QUINN-DEX.  Quinn-Dex  is  a 
simple  hand-operated  moving  picture 
device,  which  enables  you  to  see. 
right  before  your  eyes,  every  move- 
ment of  my  hands  at  the  keyboard. 
Voit  actually  see  the  fingers  move. 
Instead  of  having  to  reproduce  your 
teacher's  finger  movements  from 
MEMORY — ^which  cannot  be  always 
accurate — you  have  the  correct  mod- 
els before  you  during  every  minute 
of  practice.  The  COLOROTONE 
and  QUINN-DEX  save  you  months 
and  years  of  wasted  effort.   They  can

THE  new  Popu- 
larity Contest, 
unusual  and  en- 
tertaining, is  already 
the  object  of  great 
interest  —  unfailing 
and  rife.  If  you 
have  entered  it  or 
have  read  the  announcements 
which  have  appeared,  and  will  ap- 
pear, from  time  to  time,  containing 
the  rules  and  regulations,  you 
know  it  is  actually  a  double  con- 
test— a  contest  in  which  both  the 
public  and  players  are  equally  in- 
terested. 

The  prizes  depicted  above  and 
below  were  selected  after  much 
careful  thought  and  attention  and 
each  one  is  destined  to  make  some 
one  happier,  from  the  beautiful 
Crescent  phonograph  which  sug- 
gests a  twilight  hour  with  the 
gems  musical  genii  have  given  to 
the  world,  to  the  Marble  nickel- 
plated  axe  which  brings  to  mind 
a  jolly  time  in  some  invitingly 
green  woodland. 

Perhaps  you  have  not  yet  de- 
cided to  enter  the  contest — if  not 
do  so  now.  Dont  lose  an  oppor- 
tunity of  enjoying  the  unique  en-

Greatest  of  All  Popularity  Contests 

Unique  Competition  in  Which  the  Voters  Share  in  the  Prizes 

WHO  IS  THE  ONE  GREAT  STAR  OF  THE  SCREEN? 

Is  it  CHARLIE  CHAPLIN  or  ELSIE  FERGUSON? 

Is  it  RICHARD  BARTHELMESS  or  WILLIAM  S.  HART? 

Concerning  this  matter  there  is  great  difference  of  opinion.  Every  fan,  in  fact,  has  his  own  idol.  The  Wall 
street  broker  swears  by  MARY  PICKFORD;  his  wife  thinks  TOM  MIX  is  the  best  actor  the  cinema  has 
produced;  the  office  bo)'  has  a  "crush"  on  THEDA  BARA  and  the  stenographer  collects  photographs  of 
DOUGLAS  FAIRBANKS. 

What  do  you  think?  If  you  had  a  vote  would  you  give  it  to  NAZIMOVA  or  to  LILLIAN  GISH?  Would 
you  vote  for  a  man  or  a  woman  or  for  little  BEN  ALEXANDER? 

Shadowland,  Motion  Picture  Magazine,  and  Motion  Picture  Classic — the  three  great  magazines  of  the 
Motion  Picture  world — have  decided  to  refer  this  question  to  their  readers  by  taking  a  popular,  world- 
wide vote.  In  regard  to  matters  concerning  the  stage  and  theater  their  audience  is  the  most  intelligent  and 
discerning ;  the  most  wide-awake  and  well-informed  in  the  world  today.  If  any  picture  patrons  can  pick 
out  the  leading  star,  it  will  be  those  who  read  Shadowland,  the  Magazine  and  Classic. 

The  coupons  will  show  you  how  to  enter  your  own  name  and  the  name  of  your  favorite  player.  But  you 
may  vote  on  an  ordinary  sheet  of  paper  in  Class  Number  2  provided  you  make  the  ballot  the  same  size 
and  follow  the  wording  of  this  coupon.  We  prefer  the  printed  coupons  for  uniformity  and  convenience  in 
counting. 

There  will  be  prizes  for  voters  and  prizes  for  stars. 

Votes  registered  in  Class  Number  1  will  probably  be  cast  by  favor.  Votes  registered  in  Class  Number  2 
will  call  for  a  wide  knowledge  of  the  Motion  Picture  business,  keen  powers  of  perception  and  skill  at  de- 
tecting the  trend  of  popular  favor.     You  cannot  guess  the  winner  offhand.

12  Dishes 

of  Nutritious  Quaker  Oats 


Save  90% 

And  Serve  Vastly  Better  Breakfasts 

One  dollar  spent  for  Quaker  Oats  buys  about  as  much  nutrition  as  $10 
buys  in  meat  and  fish  and  eggs. 

So  a  Quaker  Oats  breakfast,  compared  with  a  meat  breakfast,  saves  you 
some  90  per  cent. 

And  in  oats  you  get  the  supreme  food. 

You  get  an  ideal  food — almost  a  complete  food. 

You  get  a  food  which,  measured  by  calories,  is  twice  as  nutritious  as 
round  steak. 

And  )ou  get  the  needed  minerals. 

What  $1  Buys 

Note  how  much  $1  buys  in  Quaker 
Oats.  It  will  serve  a  hundred  break- 
fasts. 

That  same  $1  in  some  other  foods 
will  buy  you  only  ten  breakfasts.

From  Chorus  to  Characters 

The  Story  of  Wallace  Beery 

By  FRITZI  REMONT 


There  was  a  time  in  the  life  of  Wal- 
lace Beery  when  he  hustled  trunks  for  a 
living  in  Ringling  Brothers'  Circus. 
Long  trunks  and  tiny  trunks,  unruly 
trunks  and  tractable  trunks  came  under 
his  supervision,  but  instead  of  carrying 
make-up  and  tarlatan  skirts,  ringmaster's 
high  hat  and  Prince  Albert,  jockey's  caps 
and  scarlet  coats,  clowns'  sugar-loaf  "bon- 
nets" and  Pierrots,  those  trunks  were 
usually  loaded  with  peanuts  and  hay. 

Having  departed  from  school  hur- 
riedly and  with  great  vexation  of  spirit, 
)'oung  \\'ally  joined  a  circus  and  was 
initiated  in  the  art  of  elephant  training. 
That  was  tlie  start  of  his  dramatic  ca- 
reer. He  handled  the  biggest  "eflfalunt" 
in  captivity,  old  "Twenty-Six,"  on  whom 
circus-going  kiddies  lavished  special  tid- 
bits. "Twenty-Six"  and  Wally  grew  to 
be  fast  friends  and  baby  elephants  grew 
into  husky  stunt  artists  under  Mr. 
Beery's  tutelage. 

Later,  discovering  an  excellent  basso 
profundo  within  his  well-developed 
chest,  a  basso  which  could  hold  its  own 
above  the  din  and  roar  of  side-shows  and 
ear-splitting  band  music,  IMr,  Beery  de- 
cided that  comic  opera  would  be  tlie 
right  channel  for  his  talents.  He  had 
been  a  good  mimic  always,  and  it  wasn't 
difficult  to  obtain  a  hearing  with  pro- 
ducers of  musical  mirth. 

So  those  of  you  who  have  seen  "Flo- 
radora,"  "The  Prince  oi  Pilsen,"  "The 
Burgomaster"  and  dozens  of  other  stage 
entertainments  may  dig  up  the  old  pro- 
grams and  there  discover  Wallace  Beery 
listed  in  the  merry,  merry. 

His  real  opportunity  arrived  as  under- 
study to  Raymond  Hitchcock.  Finally 
Beery  was  given  his  chance.  He  sang 
the  title  part,  put  over  the  "business" 
until  the  house  was  in  a  riot,  and  awoke 
next  day  to  find  himself  famous.  It's 
happened  before,  of  course,  but,  never- 
theless, it  thrilled  Mr.  Beery  and  fired 
his  ambitions.  He  advanced  rapidly, 
played  a  season  with  Sir  Henry  Irving, 
had  a  lead  with  Margaret  Illington,  did  a 
character  part  in  Orrin  Johnson's  com- 
pany, and  finally  took  the  highroad  to 
pictures. 

For  seven  years  Mr.  Beery  has  been 
doing  unusual  characterizations.  His 
first  real  screen  hit,  however,  came  with 
"The  L^npardonable  Sin,"  in  which  he 
played  the  German  officer. 

"I  owe  a  great  deal  to  Mr.  Neilan  and 
Miss  Sweet,"  said  Mr.  Beery.  "You 
should  have  seen  the  man-hunt  going  on 
for  a  suitable  type.  Every  one  was  sug- 
gesting that  Mr.  Neilan  should  send  to 
New  York  for  some  'high-light'  of  the 
stage  or  screen.  I  had  called  on  him  at 
his  suggestion,  and  was  finally  given  the 
part,  altho  I  was  really  not  well  known, 
having  played  a  great  deal  in  stock  up  to 
that  time.     I  studied  the  part  carefully

with  Miss  Sweet  and  found  her  most 
helpful  and  liberal  in  giving  me  oppor- 
tunity to  show  what  I  could  do. 

"I  have  done  three  pictures  with  Mau- 
rice Tourneur,  who  was  well  pleased 
with  my  work  for  Neilan,  and  perhaps 
my  best  recent  part  was  in  'Behind  the 
Door,'  another  of  those  bad  German 
officers.  I  played  with  Wallace  Reid  in 
'The  Love  Burglar'  and  Priscilla  Dean 
in  'The  Beautiful  Beggar.'  Then  Lois 
Weber  came  to  me  and  said  she  had  in 
mind  a  wonderful  story — after  seeing 
'The  LTnpardonable  Sin.'  But  before  I 
can  work  with  her  I  have  a  number  of 
other  productions  in  which  strong  parts 
are  given  me." 

"You  are  not  under  contract,  then  ?" 

"No ;  I  free-lance,  but  I  am  always 
engaged  for  five  or  six  pictures  ahead — 
it's  not  a  case  of  worrying  over  the  next 
engagement,  thank  the  Lord !"  said  Mr. 
Beery,  cheerily. 

"How  do  you  develop  your  charac- 
ters? Do  they  grow  on  you  as  the  play 
progresses,  or  can  you  see  the  whole 
thing  from  the  very  first  inception  of  the 
role?" 

"By  no  means.  I  always  find  them 
unfolding  new  possibilities  as  we  go 
along.  Of  course,  I  have  a  general  idea 
of  what  I  shall  do.  For  instance,  in 
Tourneur's  'Romany  Rye,'  in  which  a 
peculiar  English  type  was  requisite,  I 
made  up  as  a  Dickens  character.  I 
spent  several  days  at  the  public  library 
with  a  whole  set  of  Dickens,  studying  the 
old  pictures  and  reading  his  wonderful 
character  sketches.  Then  I  made  up  like 
one  of  the  pictures,  always  keeping  in 
mind  the  peculiar  character  given  by 
Dickens.  Mr.  Tourneur  was  highly 
pleased  with  the  result. 

"When  I  was  cast  for  'The  Round- 
up,' I  visited  San  Francisco  and  made 
an  intensive  study  of  Remington's  fa- 
mous pictures.  You  know  his  Westerns 
— those  half-breeds,  cowboys,  Indians  or 
Mexicans?  I  had  a  great  part  in  'The 
Round-LTp.'  You  know,  that  is  giving 
'Fatty'  Arbuckle  a  chance  to  drop  com- 
edy for  a  while.  They  hunted  every- 
where for  a  suitable  type,  until  some  one 
suggested  that  Mr.  Arbuckle  might  be 
induced  to  play  a  part  in  the  drama,  for 
he's  been  wishing  to  get  out  of  comedy 
for  a  long  time. 

"It  was  funny  at  meal  time  while  we 
were  on  location.  The  food  up  in  the 
mountains  was  of  the  type  which  never 
saw  seasoning.  Roscoe  would  empty 
nearly  a  whole  pepper-shaker  over  liis 
meat  stew  and  say  that  he  couldn't  get 
the  poor  flavor  originally  found  because 
the  pepper  gave  it  some  character. 
Finally  we  all  followed  his  advice  and 
the  landlord  said  he'd  have  to  charge  us 
extra  for  condiments.  Talk  about  city 
profiteering.  Why,  the  mountain  folk 
aren't  so  far  behind  !" 

"You  lived  in  Japan,  didn't  you  ?" 

"I  had  five  months  over  there  with  my 
company.  It  is  a  poor  place  to  live.  All 
the  meats  have  to  be  shipped  in  from  our 
country  or  Australia,  and  they're  rather 
stale  most  of  the  time.    There  is  no  way

THE  MISSOURI  WALTZ 


Little  Lessons  That  Mean  Fortunes  to  Those  Who 

Learn  Them — History  Repeats  and  Fame  Is 

Achieved — An  Old  Story  Retold 


During  the  summer  of  1914  John  Valentine 
Eppel,  who  leads  the  Eppel  Dance  Orchestra 
at  Oskaloosa,  was  a  visitor  down  in  the  Ozark 
Mountains  of  Missouri,  and  while  there  he 
heard  the  natives  humming  a  bit  of  a  waltz 
tune  that  was  a  part  of  their  very  life.  He 
brought  it  forth  and  tried  it  out  as  a  dance 
offering.  It  was  a  waltz  and  the  wise  people 
all  said  that  a  waltz  was  impossible — that 
people  wanted  nothing  but  the  fox  trot  or  a 
one-step ;  but  that  is  the  way  people  generally 
say  and  do  when  a  good  thing  is  about  to  be 
started  on  its  onward  march. 

Frederick  Knight  Logan  took  that  little 
theme  and  arranged  it  for  the  piano.  He  then 
tried  to  sell  :t  to  the  Barnhouse  Publishing 
Co.,  of  Oskaloosa,  la.  And,  by  the  way,  one 
real  reason  why  Barnhouse  just  naturally 
turned  it  down  was  found  in  the  fact  that 
this  same  Frederick  Knight  Logan  also  lived 
at  Oskaloosa. 

Young  Logan  found  that  it  was  quite  easy 
to  compose  music,  but  it  wasn't  so  easy  to 
sell  it  to  a  publisher.  So  he  proceeded  to  pub- 
lish it  himself.  That  was  in  1914.  He  first 
got  out  the  arrangement  for  a  piano,  then 
he  put  it  out  for  eleven  parts  and  piano 
as  an  orchestra ;  then  as  a  full  orchestra. 
It  was  later  arranged  as  a  band  number.  By 
that  time  this  young  local  venturer  found 
himself  swamped  with  orders,  and  he  had 
about  worn  out  the  family  wheelbarrow 
transporting  his  output  to  the  post-office,  so 
one  day  he  got  on  the  train  and  came  to 
Chicago,  determined  to  find  a  real  publisher. 

Of  course  the  usual  thing  happened.  The 
big  city  publishers  pronounced  it  too  cheap; 
it  was  really  musically  rotten  to  all  of  them — 
e.xcept  F.  J.  A.  Foster.  That  hustling,  push- 
ing plugger  soon  saw  his  judgment  rewarded 
with  orders.  The  more  orders  he  received 
the  more  advice  he  also  received,  most  of 
which  was  to  the  effect  that  he  had  picked  a 
flivver. 

.Ask  your  dealer  to  show  you  how  many 
ways  the  "Missouri  Waltz"  has  been  pub- 
lished ;  see  if  you  can  find  any  sort  of  arrange- 
ment that  it  hasn't  been  put  thru ;  see  if  your 
player  piano  doesn't  offer  it  in  a  half  dozen 
different  styles,  then  run  it  down  and  see 
how  many  different  kinds  of  talking  machine 
records  you  would  have  to  buy  if  you  would 
own  one  of  each  kind.  These  household 
necessities  have  the  "Missouri  Waltz"  in 
every  conceivable  style,  from  its  own  original 
instrument,  the  mouth  organ,  to  a  symphonx- 
orchestra  record.  Grand  opera  stars  and 
cabaret  singers,  soloists  and  choristers  have 
all  taken  a  trial  at  presenting  this  number. 
More  than  2,000,000  records  have  been  made 
of  the  "Missouri  Waltz." 

Not  long  ago  we  were  sitting  in  at  a  little 
confab    discussing   music    and   its    relation    to 


the  lyceum  and  chautauqua  movement  when  a 
cablegram  was  received  by  the  publisher,  ask- 
ing for  100,000  copies  of  this  same  interna- 
tional favorite  and  with  it  the  sales  rights 
for  the  German-speaking  countries. 

Yes,  the  "Missouri  Waltz"  is  an  interna- 
tional affair.  Not  simply  because  F.  J.  A. 
Foster  holds  an  international  copyright  on  it, 
but  because  the  people  all  over  the  world  sing 
it,  play  it  and  listen  to  it.  More  than  a  million 
copies  have  been  sold  abroad,  and  it  is  still 
raging. 

This  is  more  than  mere  boost  for  a  song  for 
the  "Missouri  Waltz"  docs  not  need  boosting — 
to  boost  it  is  like  attempting  to  paint  the  lily. 
What  we  have  written  is  lor  those  who  want 
to  learn  the  lessons  that  this  wonderful  suc- 
cess has  to  teach. 

Don't  think  that  Frederick  Knight  Logan 
grabbed  this  success  right  out  of  the  air.  He 
worked  for  it.  He  earned  it.  It  didn't  come 
to  him — he  went  after  it.  For  years  he  worked 
to  prepare  for  his  service.  Those  who  saw  his 
mother  at  the  convention  and  saw  her  efficient 
help,  saw  the  talented,  inspirational  assistance 
that  she  rendered,  didn't  need  any  one  to 
demonstrate  that  song  poem  with  words  that 
tell  of  the  "lingering  moments  divine"  that 
animate  her  work  and  her  very  life  as  she 
collaborates  with  her  talented  son  in  the  work 
that  has  made  Frederick  Knight  Logan,  "The 
Waltz  King"  of  our  day.

of  petting  fresh  vegetables,  and  the  rice 
riots  were  going  on — so  we  were  all  glad 
to  get  back  to  God's  country.  In  Tokio 
alone  last  year  85,000  women  died  of 
tuberculosis.  That  little  country  is  just 
about  the  size  of  one  of  our  smallest 
states  and  it's  overcrowded.  I  dont  won- 
der they  all  seem  to  want  to  come  to 
California!" 

"How  about  morals  over  there?" 

Mr.  Beery  laughed.  "I  think  the  dif- 
ference is  that  in  this  country  \ve  know 
the  difference  between  right  and  wrong 
and  do  wrong  anyway,  and  over  there 
they  dont  know  the  difference  and  so 
they  sin,  too.  I  guess  immorality  is 
pretty  much  the  same  the  world  over — 
only  motives  may  be  different.  They 
have  two  religions ;  the  followers  of 
Buddha  are  somewhat  stoical,  but  the 
newer  Shintoism  allows  lots  of  fun  and 
gaiety.  We  used  the  old  Buddhistic 
temples  for  backgrounds,  and  it  was 
marvelous  to  see  what  had  been  accom- 
plished in  rare  carvings  and  decorations. 
I  enjoyed  that  part  immensely." 

"Did  your  brother  precede  you  in  pic- 
tures, Mr.  Beery?" 

"Noah  came  in  thru  me.  I'm  thirty- 
three  and  he's  thirty-eight — and  both  of 
us  keen  on  the  photodrama.  The  art  of 
portraying  unusual  characters  opens  up 
a  field  not  overcrowded,  so  that  I  ara 
happily  so  placed  that  I  may  choose  my 
next  production  field.  That  gives  one 
opportunity  to  play  in  worth-while 
dramas.  Leading  men  often  have  to  take 
whatever  is  offered — and  I  always  think 
that  it  must  be  very  tiresome  to  act  as 
'feeder'  to  a  strong  feminine  star.  I 
prefer  the  individualistic  work — in  short, 
emotional  characters." 

In  "Soldiers  of  Fortune,"  Mr.  Beery 
had  ample  opportunity  to  show  his  talent 
for  make-up.  He's  not  a  handsome  man, 
but  his  face  betrays  force,  the  brown 
eyes  are  kindly,  and  there's  a  twinkle  of 
mirth  at  the  lip-corners.  He  is  tall  and 
supple,  very  athletic.  One  of  the  fun- 
■niest  early  make-ups  of  Wallace  Beery 
was  in  the  "Swedie  Series,"  done  long 
ago  by  Essanay  and  remembered  by 
fans  all  over  the  world.  He  used  to 
enjoy  doing  comedy  quite  as  much  as  he 
now  leans  to  heavy  character  parts. 

Married?  Not  now.  The  beautiful 
Gloria  Swanson,  who  plays  on  the  same 
lot  nowadays,  was  formerly  Wally 
Beery's  wife.  He  leads  a  bachelor 
existence. 


THE  SIGN 

By  Barbara  Hollis 

I  rriglit  have  known  that  you  had  gone 

Before  they  told  me. 

I  sensed  a  difference 

Even  as  I  raised  my  hand 

To  lift  the  knocker  .   .   . 

But  I  stayed 

To  hear  the  words  they  said. 

Bnt  as  I  turned  to  walk  dawn  the  path 

I  realized  .   .   . 

1  might  have  known  before. 

The  aspen-tree  beside  the  gate — 

Its  leaves  were  still  .   .    . 

As  still  as  death.

Applj-  a  few  drops  of  Freezone  upon 
a  tender,  aching  corn  or  a  callus.  The 
soreness  stops  and  shortly  the  entire

Freefone  removes  hard  corns,  soft 
corns,  also  corns  between  the  toes  and 
hardened  calluses.  Freezone  does  not 
irritate  the  surrounding  skin.  You  feel 
no  pain  when  applying  it  or  afterward.

Wanted:    Screen 
Faces  for  the  Movies 

Thousands  of  All  Types  Needed — 
Beauty  or  Experience  Not  Necessary 

For  the  first  time  in  the  history  of  moving  pic- 
tures it  is  now  possible  for  screen  aspirants  every- 
where to  get  consideration  from  the  big  film  di- 
rectors. No  matter  where  you  live  or  whether 
you  are  considered  good  looking,  we  get  your 
photograph  before  the  directors,  many  of  whom 
are  in  urgent  need  of  new  "screen-faces." 

We  do  not  teach  "movie"  acting.  Ralph  Ince, 
famous  Selznick  director,  says :  "There  are  many 
young  girls  who  could  make  good  in  the  movies. 
i  will  be  very  glad  to  take  advantage  of  your  serv- 
ice." Marshall  Neilan,  known  everywhere  for  his 
work  in  directing  Mary  Pickford,  says :  "I  am 
convinced  that  the  service  you  render  screen  aspi- 
rants offers  many  new  personalities  to  moving 
picture  directors."  P.  A.  Powers,  of  Universal 
says :  "A  new  crop  of  film  stars  will  be  needed  at 
once  to  supply  the  insistent  demand." 

With  tlie  assistance  of  famous  directors  and 
motion  picture  stars  we  have  prepared  a  printed 
guide,  "The  New  Road  to  Film  Fame,"  just  off 
the  press,  which  tells  you  what  to  do  and  gives 
full  directions. 

It  also  contains  endorsements  of  our  service 
from  famous  people,  statements  from  directors, 
portraits  of  cel-'bratcd  stars  and  direct  advice  to 
you   from  MoUie  King. 

Remember  that  salaries  in  this  profession  are 
big — that  beauty  plays  but  a  small  part — that  ex- 
perience is  not  necessary — and  that  thousands  of 
all  types  will  be  needed  to  meet  the  tremendously 
growing  demand.  Send  ten  cents  (Postage  or 
Coin)  to  cover  postage  and  wrapping  this  new 
guide.  Get  it  at  once — it  may  start  you  on  the 
road  to  fame  and  fortune.  Address :  Screen 
Casting  Directors  Service,  Dept.  B-2,  Wil-

If  you  are  not  sincere  in  your  desire  to  ffet  ia  the  movies, 
please  do  not  send  (or  this  printed  guide.

rice    Tourneur,    Samuel    Lumiere,    Carl 
Laemmle,  Jesse   Lasky,   David  Belasco, 
Blanche  Bates  and  Eugene  V.  Brewster. 

In  September,  1919,  the  judges  an- 
nounced twenty-five  honor  roll  beauties 
and  invited  them  to  come  to  New  York 
for  the  making  of  final  test  scenes. 
Twenty-two  responded  promptly  and 
arrived  at  the  offices  of  our  magazines 
on  the  appointed  date,  whence  they  were 
taken  in  automobiles  to  the  country  estate 
of  Mr.  Brewster,  president  and  editor- 
in-chief  of  our  three  publications,  at 
Roslyn,  Long  Island.  Under  the  direc- 
tion of  Wilfrid  North,  the  well-known 
motion  picture  director,  the  test  scenes 
were  made  of  these  young  ladies  on  that 
date  and  also  on  the  following  day. 
When  these  pictures  were  developed, 
printed  and  shown  to  the  judges  it  was 
decided  to  spend  two  more  days  making 
test  pictures  of  some  of  these  twenty- 
two  young  ladies,  and  also  of  some 
others  who  had  since  appeared.  It  was 
also  decided  to  write  a  scenario  in  which 
the  young  ladies  would  appear.  Miss 
Gladys  Hall,  of  our  editorial  staff,  wrote 
the  scenario,  entitled  "A  Dream  of  Fair 
Women,"  suggested  by  Tennyson's  poem, 
and  Mr.  North  and  some  of  the  judges 
made  a  cast  from  this  list  of  twenty-five 
j'oung  ladies.  The  play  was  completed 
in  due  course. 

Nearly  five  thousand  feet  of  film  were 
taken,  out  of  which  about  twenty-one 
hundred  feet  were  selected  and  put  thru 
the  usual  course  of  printing,  cutting, 
titling,  etc.  Then  a  meeting  of  the 
judges  was  called  to  see  the  finished 
product.  Some  of  the  judges  were  un- 
able to  be  present  and  photographs  of 
the  young  ladies  were  sent  to  them.  The 
result  was  that  the  following  young 
ladies  were  selected  as  winners : 

Miss  Blanche  McGarrity,  San  Anto- 
nio, Texas;  Miss  Virginia  Brown,  New 
York  City;  Miss  Anetha  Getwell,  Chi- 
cago, III. ;  and  Miss  Anita  Booth,  Read- 
ing, Pa. 

We  had  agreed  to  give  the  winners  of 
the  contest  two  years'  publicity  in  our 
publications  and  to  secure  for  them  a 
contract  with  some  good  producing  com- 
pany. At  the  time  the  contest  closed  we 
expected  there  would  be  only  one  win- 
ner, but  the  result  was  that  we  had  four 
to  look  after. 

Miss  McGarrity  found  it  necessary  to 
return  to  her  home  in  Texas  and  de- 
cided not  to  accept  a  contract  for  the 
present.  Miss  Brown,  who  was  only  fif- 
teen years  old,  was  placed  with  the  Uni- 
versal Film  Company  under  a  contract 
which  was  approved  by  the  Supreme 
Court,  and  which  calls  for  a  salary  of 
$75.00  a  week  to  begin  with  and  ending 
at  $750.00  a  week.  Miss  Getwell  was 
promptly  placed  with  the  American 
Cinema  Corporation  at  $150.00  a  week. 
She  has  also  received  other  offers.  Miss 
Booth  received  several  offers  and  at  the 
present  writing  is  playing  with  Ralph 
Ince  and  is  receiving  $250.00  a  week.

MOTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC 

We  also  wish  to  add  that  among  the: 
near-winners  were  several  who  ha\e  also 
been  successfully  placed.  Albert  E. 
Smith,  president  of  the  Vitagraph  Com- 
pany, said  that  he  would  take  four  of 
the  young  ladies  at  a  salary  of  thirty 
dollars  a  week,  but  at  this  writing  none 
has  accepted. 

Miss  Fay  Brennan,  of  Washington, 
D.  C,  has  been  playing  with  a  company 
which  is  producing  in  Washington ;  Miss 
Lanessa  Carroll  has  been  doing  small 
parts  for  Goldwyn  and  other  companies. 
Miss  Helen  Lee  Worthing  has  been 
playing  at  the  new  Capitol  Theater  in 
New  York  City.  Miss  Margaret  Fal- 
coner has  been  playing  in  Ziegfeld's 
Midnight  Frolic  in  New  York  City,  and 
also  several  others  have  been  doing  small 
parts  here  and  there. 

On  the  other  hand,  quite  a  number  of 
the  twenty-five  were  found  to  be  not 
quite  the  types  that  are  now  required  on 
the  screen,  and  they  returned  to  their 
homes,  perhaps  discouraged.  They 
learnt  that  beauty  and  grace  are  not  all 
that  the  screen  requires,  and  that  some 
of  the  most  beautiful  girls  do  not 
screen  well,  while  many  girls  who  are 
not  so  beautiful  do.  We  have  also 
learnt  that  it  is  impossible  to  pick  win- 
ners from  mere  photographs. 

In  some  cases  the  Editorial  Commit- 
tee, acting  for  the  judges,  wrote  to  the 
contestants  advising  them  to  call  at  our 
offices,  if  convenient,  and  many  did  so. 
In  some  of  these  cases  the  decision  was 
favorable. 

This  year  we  have  adopted  the  system 
of  having  a  moving  picture  camera  on 
hand,  and  as  the  contestants  appear  and 
pass  the  preliminary  tests,  they  are  put 
before  the  camera  and  a  test  picture  is 
made  to  see  how  they  photograph.  If 
the  committee  thinks  the  contestant  is  not 
eligible,  a  test  picture  is  not  made  of  her, 
but  her  picture  remains  in  the  contest, 
nevertheless.  Even  if  she  does  not  pass 
the  preliminary  inspection,  she  still  has 
a  chance  of  winning  the  contest.  With 
all  the  experience  of  ten  years,  and  all 
of  our  accumulated  knowledge  of  stars, 
present  and  gone,  we  do  our  best  to  give 
a  verdict  which  will  bear  the  test  of  the 
final  review.  It  is  obviously  impossible 
to  make  a  test  of  every  one  that  comes. 
This  would  require  a  hundred  cameras 
and  operators  and  would  involve  an  ex- 
pense of  many  thousands  of  dollars. 
Only  those  who  seem  "to  have  ex'ery- 
thing"  are  accepted  for  test  scenes. 

This  year  we  are  making  a  five-reel 
feature  in  which  will  be  embodied  tlie 
test  scenes  of  the  twenty-five  honor  roll 
beauties.     This  picture  will  be  a  drama/ 
and  it  calls  for  a  number  of  character! 
other   than   the   contestants   themselves 
hence  we  are  making  test  scenes  of  girls; 
boys,  young  men  and  young  women,  am' 
even  of  much  older  people  in  order  ti 
see  if  they  will  fit  into  the  cast.    Befon 
the   year   is   over  we  expect   to  have 
classified  list  of  screen  possibilities  of  al 
types  and  ages.    We  shall  make  this  lisl 
available   for   the   producing   companie;

A  Resume  of  the  Fame  and  For- 
tune Contest,  Past  and  Present 

{Continued  from  page  104) 
and  we  hope  in  this  way  to  find  motion 
picture  employment  for  many  who 
would  otherwise  find  no  means  of  se- 
curing it.  We  are  confident  that  the 
contest  last  year  has  produced  at  least 
two  stars  who  will  become  internation- 
ally known,  admired  and  classed  with 
any  ten  stars  that  might  now  be  men- 
tioned. If  we  accomplish  no  more  than 
this,  we  believe  that  our  work  has  been 
well  done.  This  year  we  intend  to  do 
still  more,  and  there  seems  to  be  no  limit 
to  the  possibilities. 

As  to  the  play  which  we  produced,  "A 
Dream  of  Fair  Women,"  it  is  now  on 
the  market.  All  theaters  in  the  United 
States  will  be  able  to  show  it.  If  you 
want  to  see  it  all  you  have  to  do  is  to  ask 
your  exhibitor  for  it.  If  he  does  not 
know  where  he  can  get  it,  tell  him  to 
write  or  telegraph  Murray  W.  Garsson, 
1600  Broadway,  New  York  City,  N.  Y. 
It  is  a  two-reel  picture  of  decided 
beauty  and  interest.  You  will  see  in  it 
some  very  pretty  girls  and  some  excel- 
lent acting  on  the  part  of  young  girls 
who  had  ne\er  been  before  a  motion 
picture  camera.  You  will  see  a  few 
whom  you  may  not  think  beautiful  but 
who  possess  screen  personality.  How- 
ever, we  want  you  to  see  this  little  play 
and  judge  for  yourself. 

You  will  be  doing  a  favor  to  your 
neighbors  or  distant  friends  by  telling 
them  about  it  so  that  they  may  enter  the 
contest  themselves  or  tell  others.  As 
the  poet  sa)'s,  "Full  many  a  flower  is 
born  to  blush  unseen  and  waste  its  fra- 
grance on  the  desert  air,"  but  with  the 
Fame  and  Fortune  Contest  running  there 
is  no  excuse  for  any  undiscovered  Mary 
Pickford  to  say  that  she  never  had  a 
chance. 


Dont  Let  Your  Right  Ej-e 

Know  What  Your  Left 

Is  Doing

"My  brother  wants  to  go  on  the 
screen — the  brother  that  is  seventeen — 
and  I  dont  know  what  to  tell  him.  I'm 
not  sure  that  I  want  him  to  break  in  as 
an  extra  man.  Only  too  often  it  is  a 
case  of  once  an  extra  man,  always  an 
extra  man.  The  directors  put  you  in 
that  class  and  are  afraid  to  take  a  chance 
on  you  for  fear  you'll  spoil  the  picture. 
But,  on  the  other  hand,  the  continuous 
extra  work  accustoms  you  to  different 
methods  of  direction  and  you  lose  all 
feeling  of  self-consciousness  before  the 
camera.  Then,  too,  if  you  do  get  any- 
thing you  appreciate  it  and  dont  let  it 
drop  in  a  hurry." 

\Vhich  goes  to  show  that  he  is  a  very 
wise  young  man. 

_  But  the  most  serious  thing  of  all  is — a 
girl !  He  didn't  mention  her  name,  of 
course,  but  he  left  no  doubt  as  to  her 
existence.  However,  he's  not  married 
yet,  not  even  engaged— officially.  And 
so,  ladies,  cheer  up!  There  may  be 
many  girls  before  one  finally  proves 
fatal! 


There  was  a  time  in  the  life  of  Ber- 
nard Turpin,  popularly  known  by  the 
nickname  which  dignifies  a  certain  alarm 
clock  — Ben  — when  his  crossed  eyes 
meant  a  tragedy.  Now  he  has  those 
same  eyes  insured  for  ten  thousand  dol- 
lars against  their  becoming  un-crossed. 
Almost  every  story  ever  written  about 
Ben  has  given  a  different  cause  for  his 
ability  to  see  evervthing  double  save  a 
pay-check.  He  had  waited  for  us  be- 
fore confessing  the  truth.  Here  it  is. 
Uhile  playing  Happy  Hoolligan  for 
three  years,  he  had  to  look  cross-eyed 
nightly  for  from  ten  to  twelve  minutes, 
(not  to  mention  the  daily  matinees)  and 
one  morning  he  awoke  to  the  matiitinal 
shave  and  discovered  jest  had  been 
turned  to  earnest. 

"If  I'd  been  handsome,  I'd  have  been 
a  dramatic  actor  right  along,  but  with 
these  eyes  wished  on  me  I  had  to  find 
something  to  do  that  would  keep  me  in  a 
permanent  job,"  he  said.  "I  didn't  know 
the  ropes  in  the  old  days  of  pictures,  so 
when  Essanay  offered  me  twenty  dollars 
a  week,  I  thought  I  was  on  the  way  to 
Paradise.  You  see,  I'd  never  earned 
more  than  twenty-five  on  the  vaudeville 
circuits.  I  used  to  do  everything  from 
mopping  floors  to  camera-grinding  for 
scene-numbers.  Anything  to  stay  on  that 
lot  and  earn  a  regular  salary. 

"Then  the  mash  notes  began  coming 
my  way.  Sure,  I  have  had  them— only 
they  are  worse  now,  but  that  might  be 
because  I  have  a  business  manager  and 
an  income,"  he  added,  as  he  noted  the 
peculiar  look  in  my  eye,  which  I  tried 
in  vain  to  conceal. 

"I'm  from  old  New  Orleans,  a  French- 
man, all  right.  I  began  to  act  on  the 
streets  on  amateur  nights,  in  little  side- 
shows. About  the  time  I  was  seventeen 
I  got  rnarried  and  went  into  vaudeville. 
It  didn't  take— the  marriage.  I  mean,  and 
as  for  the  other,  that  didn't  put  me  on 
easy  street  by  any  means.  When  I  was 
thirty-three  I  tried  it  again— marriage,  I 
mean,  and  if  I  were  any  happier — in 
spite  of  my  facial  handicap — or  maybe 
because  of  it— I  couldn't  stand  it,  that's 
all." 

Ben  Turpin,  like  most  comedians,  is  a 
better  tragedian  than  many  who  are  cast 
in  heavy  lines  of  straight  drama.  He  is 
a  comedian  by  birth,  for  France  is  the 
nation  of  mimics,  and  yet,  if  outward 
appearance  allowed,  he  would  probably 
be  luxuriating  in  the  tragic  role  of 
Hamlet. 

"I  really  owe  all  I  am  to  Charlie 
Chaplin  and  Mack  Sennett,"  -said  Mr. 
Turpin.  "The  very  first  time  I  met 
Charlie  Chaplin,  he  laughed  for  two 
hours,  couldn't  act  at  all.  They  told 
him  to  straighten  up  and  get  to  busi- 
ness, but  he  said,  'I  cant— that  chap's 
blank  expression  has  me  laughing  so  I

Seeing 

the  Pictures 

You  Like 


It's  mighty  important,  these  days, 
to  see  only  the  kind  of  pictures 
you  like — especially  when  con- 
sidering the  wide  range  you  have 
to  choose  from.  You  probably 
make  your  selection  by  choosing 
certain  brands  of  pictures  or  by 
following  )-our  favorite  players. 

You  do  this  because  then  you  can 
be  sure  of  seeing  exactly  the  kind 
of  pictures  you  like  to  see.  You 
know  beforehand  which  brand  of 
picture  stands  for  the  very  best 
or  which  star  plays  in  only  the 
best  pictures. 

And  that's  the  safest  way  to  choose 
a  movie  magazine.  By  selecting 
one  which  has  been  longest  in 
building  and  which  has  the  largest 
following. 

Motion  Picture  Magazine  has 
been  elected  "First,  Finest  and 
Foremost."  495.000  movie  fans 
did  the  electing.  The  May  maga- 
zine will  be  over  one-half  million. 
Here  are  some  of  the  articles  to 
be  featured —

and  movie  queen,  beautifully

of  the  speaking  stage,  is  chatted

MOTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC 


The  Celluloid  Critic 

(Continued  from  page  51) 


ture,  "Treasure  Island,"  (Paramount), 
and  a  little  circus  romance,  "Her  Ele- 
phant Man,"   (Fox). 

Mr.  Tourneur  succeeded  in  catching  a 
fair  measure  of  Stevenson's  rollicking 
spirit  of  a  devil-may-care  in  the  filming 
of  his  merry  tale  of  pirates,  buried  gold 
and  that  boy  of  boys,  Jim  Hawkins.  Mr. 
Tourneur  followed  the  lead  of  a  recent 
stage  production  in  casting  a  girl  for  the 
role  of  Jim.  There  is  no  love  element  in 
"Treasure  Island"  and,  psychologically, 
the  presentation  of  a  girl  serves  subcon- 
sciously to  help  fill  this  dramatic  want. 
We  rather  like  Miss  Mason's  mock 
boyishness.  Tourneur's  deftness  of  pho- 
tography and  screen  picture  is  at  its  very 
best  in  "Treasure  Island." 

Miss  Mason's  "Her  Elephant  Man" 
really  deserves  little  comment.  It  is 
simply  a  very  crude  and  claptrap  melo- 
drama of  circus  life,  with  the  little  star 
as  a  bareback  rider.  Miss  Mason  gives 
a  pleasant  performance,  but  the  single 
other  thing  we  can  now  recall  about 
"Her  Elephant  Man"  is  a  fairly  well 
done  cyclone  which  wrecks  the  tent 
show. 

Turning  to  weightier  things,  we  pause 
before  Lionel  Barrymore's  "The  Copper- 
head," (Paramount),  based  upon  Augus- 
tus Thomas'  drama  of  a  simple  farmer 
who  suffers  every  possible  loss  and  in- 
dignity that  he  may  serve  the  North  as  a 
spy  thru  the  Civil  War. 

We  were  not  particularly  impressed 
with  Charles  Maigne's  direction,  which 
seemed  to  lack  accent  and  gradation. 
Nor  with  the  loose  scenario.  Moreover, 
Mr.  Thomas'  play,  to  our  viewpoint,  is  a 
gloomy  presentation  of  a  rather  futile 
sort  of  patriotism.  We  cannot  reconcile 
our  mind  to  the  thought  that  the  great 
Humanitarian,  Lincoln,  conceived  and 
directed  such  a  ghastly  sacrifice. 

We  admit  the  force  of  Lionel  Barry- 
more's playing  as  Lem  Shanks,  but  Doris 
Rankin  seems  weak  as  "Ma"  Shanks. 
And  the  ex-waiter  who  essays  Lincoln 
is  quite  awful.  Briefly,  "The  Copper- 
head" is  very  drab. 

Speaking  of  Lincoln,  Ralph  Ince  did 
the  Emancipator  in  a  two-part  special, 
"The  Land  of  Opportunity,"  (Selznick). 
Flashing  back  to  Lincoln  and  an  incident 
of  his  early  campaigning  days,  this  pur- 
ports to  hit  at  so-called  Bolshevism,  now 
believed  to  menace  America.  In  the  old 
Vitagraph  era  Mr.  Ince  seemed  to  us  an 
admirable  and  graphic  Lincoln.  Not  so 
now.  Moreover,  this  tvvo-reeler  is  but 
passably  done. 

While  on  the  subject  of  two-reel  pro- 
ductions, let  us  consider  Mrs.  Sidney 
Drew's  celluloiding  of  Julian  Street's 
"The  Charming  Mrs.  Chase,"  in  which 
she  advances  the  theory  that  the  quest 
of  thrills  after  thirty  is  too  much  trouble 
for  any  sort  of  satisfaction.  With  fine 
and  characteristic  touches  of  subtlety, 
Mrs.  Drew  paints  the  gradual  interest 
of  a  placidly  satisfied  husband  in  a 
charming  "other  woman,"  his  lame 
search   for  romance,   and  his   return  to 


his  home  and  comfortable  chair  with  a 
sigh  of  relief.     John  Cumberland  is  de- 
lightful  as  the   recreant  hubby.     There 
are  a  liundred  and  one  little  touches  to 
lift  the  mild  little  comedy  into  the  un- 
usual and  again  stamp  Mrs.  Drew  as  a 
leader    of    the    human    cinema    school,     j 
But  one  thing  we  deny  Mrs.  Drew  and     I 
Mr.    Street.      That    is    the    theory    that      ' 
thrills  are  missing  after  thirty.     We're 
just  over  the  thirty  mark  and  we  dont 
believe  it — not  yet ! 

"Huckleberry  Finn,"  (Paramount), 
William  D.  Taylor's  screening  of  Mark 
Twain's  epic  of  boyhood,  disappointed 
us,  too.  The  scenario  attempted  to 
crowd  too  much  of  Twain  into  the  pho- 
toplay, with  the  result  that  the  film  ver- 
sion is  episodic  and  jumpy.  There  is  a 
sickening  effort  to  make  the  freckled 
Huck  into  a  sentimentalist.  But,  with 
it  all,  Lewis  Sargent  does  excellent  work. 
His  Huck  Finn  is  a  spontaneous  and 
commendable  bit  of  playing. 

Allan  Dwan's  second  independent  pro- 
duction, "The  Luck  of  the  Irish,"  con- 
structed from  a  Harold  McGrath  story, 
seems  rather  conventional  in  handling. 
It  is  a  picturesque  tale,  a  romance  be- 
tween a  plumber  and  a  pretty  school- 
teacher extending  all  round  the  world. 
But,  for  all  that,  it  runs  in  time-worn 
grooves,  with  the  usual  rich  waster  vil- 
lain, a  freckled  boy  for  comic  relief,  and 
so  on.  We  approve  of  James  Kirkwood 
as  the  pipe  expert  hero,  but  Anna  Q. 
Nilsson  lacks  sincerity  as  the  cause  of  all 
the  trouble  and  happiness. 

"The  13th  Commandment,"  (Para- 
mount), with  Ethel  Clayton  starred,  is  a 
sermon  preaching  the  text,  "Thou  shalt 
not  spend  more  than  thou  earnest."  It 
runs  along  conventional  lines.  Miss 
Clayton  deserves  better  material. 

We  found  "Piccadilly  Jim,"  (Selz- 
nick), which  is  screenically  built  for 
Owen  Moore  from  the  magazine  story 
by  P.  G.  Wodehouse,  to  be  fairly  enter- 
taining stuff.  Piccadilly  is  a  brash  young 
American  who  gets  into  all  sorts  of 
scrapes,  but  manages  to  solve  the  diffi- 
culties of  others  and  win  the  girl  of  his 
choice.  We  like  Moore  as  Piccadilly, 
and  a  fine  bit,  of  the  spoiled  child,, 
"Oggie"  Pett,  is  done  by  Reginald  Shef- 
field. Zena  Keefe  does  not,  however, 
arouse  our  interest  as  the  girl  of  the 
story. 

Constance  Talmadge  is  advancing  once 
more.  She  plays  with  a  delightful  buoy- 
ancy in  "Two  Weeks,"  adapted  from  an 
Anthony  Wharton  play,  "At  the  Bam." 
It  is  structurally  weak,  being  another 
invasion  of  a  bachelor  Eden  by  a 
sprightly  young  woman,  but  Miss  Tal- 
madge invests  it  with  sparkle  and  high 
humor.  Conway  Tearle  is  an  excellent 
foil.  George  Fawcett  makes  his  bit 
stand  out  vividly ;  indeed,  he  well  nigh 
runs  away  with  the  whole  comedy. 
Sydney  A.  Franklin's  direction  lacks  in- 
cisiveness  in  places,  but,  on  the  whole, 
he  has  done  rather  well.

Charming  Personality 


np       wj  I        Dear     F: 

loWomenU',„,7,s 


Dear  Friends 
Sex:— 
have 
good  reason  to  be  one  of  the  happiest 
women  in  the  world.  For  every  mail 
brings  me  so  many  letters  of  apprecia- 
tion. If  you  were  in  my  place,  you 
would  be  delighted  to  know  that  you 
were  a  real  help  to  so  many,  to  feel 
that  you  could  be  a  sort  of  fairy  god- 
mother to  someone  in  need  of  just  the 
kind  of  knowledge  you  had  stored  up 
and  just  the  kind  of  sympathy  you  have 
in  your  heart. 

Oh.  the  letters!  How  I  love  them  all. 
They  fairly  breathe  appreciation  and 
friendship  for  the  good  things  they 
attribute  to  me  and  my  work.  Here  is 
one  from  a  little  woman  in  Allentown. 
I  remember  the  first  time  she  wrote  me. 
Such  a  pathetic  little  letter  it  was,  a 
sigh  from  beginning  to  end,  mingling 
with  a  sort  of  forlorn  hope  that  I, 
Juliette  Para,  might  be  able  to  help  her. 

Yes,  to  help  her.  To  show  her  how 
she  might  attain  success,  how  she  might 
throw  aside  the  mantle  of  a  gray,  un- 
interesting and  even  repellant  person- 
ality and  be  just  what  the  Creator  in- 
tended her  to  be,  a  glorious,  magnetic 
little  woman  radiating  charm  and  per- 
sonality, captivating  hearts  of  men  and 
women  alike  with  a  new  found  power 
Gparkling  with  the  attraction  that  draws 
friends  like  a  magnet,  compels  admira- 
tion, respect  and  all  the  other  things  in 
life  worth  having. 

That's  what  my  little  friend  wanted 
and  that  is  what  all  of  us  want.  Now 
ehe  writes  and  tells  me  that  she  has 
attained  the  desire  of  her  heart,  and 
that  to  me — think  of  it,  to  me — she 
owes  the  credit  of  her  success.  Can 
you  blame  me  for  being  elated  and 
happy  ? 

But  hers  is  not  a  new  story  to  me.  I 
have  dedicated  my  life  to  helping 
women  overcome  their  imperfections, 
my  whole  being  is  wrapped  up  in  a 
desire  to  enable  you,  dear  Reader,  as 
well  as  others  of  my  sex,  to  attain  the 
success  that  comes  to  those  who  will 
acquire  the  exquisite  and  charming 
ways  which  are  so  necessary  if  we 
women  are  to  achieve  the  feminine  suc- 
cess so  dear  to  our  hearts. 

Perhaps  you  know  that  I  spent  years 
of  my  life  in  Paris,  watching,  studying, 
and  analyzing  the  captivating  ways  of 
the  French  woman,  she  whose  fame  has 
Spread  to  every  land,  she  who  holds  in 
her  hand  the  destiny  of  her  country 
and  her  men,  she  to  whom  the  power 
of  attraction  is  an  art  and  a  science  to 
be  cultivated  just  as  one  would  learn  to 
play  the  piano  or  sing.  What  secrets 
nave  been  revealed  to  me  !  What  amazing 
things  1  have  found  in  the  French  woman's 
treasure   box  of   personality! 

There  was  Mademoiselle  Polaire,  for  instance, 
one  of  the  most  fascinating  little  bits  of 
femininity  I  ever  knew.  Beautiful?  Dear  me, 
n  o !  Mademoiselle 
was  positively 
ugly  of  feature. 
But  people  raved 
over  her. 

But  Mademoiselle 
Polaire  had  person- 
ality, she  under- 
stood the  very 
things  that  I  would 
like  to  teach  to  you 
who  are  far  from 
being  ugly,  you, —

will 


THIS  esteemable  young  lady  has  won  a  place 
hearts  of  miUions.  Study  her  picture  well; 
make  you  think. 

What  man,  woman  or  child  has  not  been  charmed  by  her 
superb  acting,  her  magnetic  personality,  even  as  she  has 
captivated  you. 

Note  the  tilt  of  her  head,  the  sweet,  quiet  unassuming 
dignity  in  her  easy,  graceful  pose.  Remember — you  have 
never  heard  her  utter  a  word.  She  has  no  opportunity  of 
portraying  her  thoughts  and  emotions  in  vivid,  eloquent 
speech.  By  pose,  motion  and  facial  expression,  she  holds 
your  attention,  thrilling  you,  amusing  you,  leaving  you  with 
a   lingering  memory   of  her  charming  mannerisms. 

/  II  that  Juliette  Fara  teaches,  Miss  Talmadge  employs  to 
hci  direct  personal  advantage,  so  much  so  that  a  prominent 
director  said:  "Mentally  and  physically  she  is  able  to  adopt 
any  attitude  with  the  greatest  ease  and  to  express  any 
emotion  or  shade  of  feeling.  That  is  why  she  attained  such 
nation-wide    popularity." 

Miss  Talmadge  has  heartily  indorsed  the  instructive 
knowledge  which  Juliette  Fara  imparts  to  women,  and  what 
Miss  Talmadge  indorses  you  should  know.  "How"  you  also 
can  use  the  secrets  which  she  uses  to  such  advantage  is 
explained  to  you  in  the  free  book  "How"  which  the 
Gentlewoman    Institute   will    send  for   the    asking. 


ss= 


whole  world  is  equipped,  to  cultivate  a  charm- 
ing personality,  to  use  the  secrets  I  am  ready 
to  iinpart  to  you  so  that  you  can  be  just  the 
wonderful,  admiration-compelling  woman  you 
would    like   to   be. 

How  often  have  you  wished  you  could  reach 
out  your  arms  and  draw  close  to  your  heart  the 
devotion,  the  luxuries  of  life,  the  tender  love 
that  you  see  others  enjoying!  How  often  have 
you  envied  the  woman  who  seemed  so  supreme- 
ly happy  in  the  shelter  of  a  wonderful  home 
and  perfect  love,  the  woman  with  scores  of 
admirers  at  her  feet,  or  another  with  an 
f^nViable    position! 

You  have  wondered  why.  gifted  to  no  par- 
ticular degree  with  beauty  of  either  face  or 
form,  or  endowed  with  but  ordinary  intellect  or 
education — why  some  women  attain  their  desires 
so    easily. 

T    will    answer    you.      They    have     personality, 


the     winsome     charm     that     all     women 
can   have,   once   tUey  knc\.    the   secrets. 

Now,  dear  Reader,  I  do  not  want  to 
seem  the  least  bit  mysterious,  but  you 
who  wish  to  acquire  a  winning 
personality  should  know  the  secrets 
which  I  have  found  out.  These  I 
would  like  to  whisper  in  your  ear,  to 
tell  you  confidentially.  woman  to 
woman,  how  I  have  achieved  my  suc- 
cess, and  how  I  have  helped  so  many 
of   my    sisters   achieve    theirs. 

How  many  women  there  are  who  in 
some  way  or  other  find  it  desirable  and 
even  necessary  to  use  every  bit  of 
honest  persuasion  they  can  summon  to 
control  the  love  and  hold  the  interest 
of  the  men  of  their  hearts!  Sometimes 
they  win  over  the  thoughtless,  indiffer- 
ent or  erring  ones  by  weeping  or  argu- 
ments. But  more  often  do  they  fail 
when  they  do  not  understand  the  true 
secret  of  winning  personality  for 
women. 

Yes,  if  they  only  knew.  If  they 
would  but  work  with  head  and  heart 
instead  of  only  the  latter,  using  the 
knowledge,  the  secrets  which  would 
make  the  task  so  easy,  the  results  so 
woi_derful  and  everlasting.  How  I 
have  longed  to  go  to  these  women  and 
say :  "Let  me  teach  you,"  instead  of 
which  I  must  stand  aside  and  await  the 
time  they  must  realize  that  I  have  what 
they   want. 

Of  course,  there  are  all  types  of 
women  in  the  world.  Among  those 
who  have  yet  to  attain  a  charming 
personality  is  the  loud,  aggressive, 
rather  forward  girl.  Then  there's  the 
woman  who  is  too  shy  and  retiring. 
If  you  are  either  of  these  types,  or 
if  some  other  imperfection  stands  be- 
tween you  and  your  desires,  I  am  sure 
I  can  help  you.  As  the  beautiful 
butterfly  issuesi  from  the  homely  cocoon 
so  should  you  emerge  from  the  dark- 
ness and  obscurity  with  a  new  found 
power  at  your  command,  with  the 
alluringly  beautiful  personality  of  a 
woman  whose  hand  is  firmly  on  the 
throttle    of    her    own    destiny. 

I  want  to  make  you  sought  after 
by  both  men  and  women.  I  want  you 
to  be  the  real  center  around  which 
revolves  every  social  function  you 
attend.  I  want  you  to  rise  in  business 
and  make  yourself  so  independent  that 
you  can  choose  your  own  pathway 
through  life,  gain  and  hold  the  love  of 
tlie  man  of  your  heart,  dispelling  your 
troubles  like  fog  before  the  bright  sun- 
shine. So  I  want  you  to  learn  what 
I  have  learned,  to  share  with  me  the 
secrets  of   a   winsome   manner. 

But  this  is  not  all  I  have  to  tell 
you,  I  would  like  to  know  you  better 
and  have  you  know  me  better.  So  first  I 
siigrgcst  that  you  write  for  a  little  book  into 
which  I  have  written  some  of  the  wonderful 
secrets  I  know.

The  Celluloid  Critic 

{Continued  from  page  108) 

Wallace  Reid  has  another  spirited  and 
amusing  comedy  in  "Double  Speed," 
(Paramount).  Reid  plays  a  harum- 
scarum  young  millionaire.  .Speed  Car, 
who  starts  across  the  continent  by  auto- 
mobile, has  his  car  stolen,  lands  in  Los 
y\ngeles  as  a  hobo  and  gets  a  job  as  The 
Girl's  chauffeur.  Reid  is  clean-cut  and 
likeable,  as  usual,  and  Wanda  Hawley 
is  a  pretty  reward  for  Speed  Car's  tribu- 
lations. 

Will  Rogers'  "Water,  Water,  Every- 
where," (Goldwyn),  does  not  measure 
up  to  his  previous  comedy,  "Jubilo." 
Indeed,  this  is  slow  and  frequently 
dull.  Rogers  plays  a  big-hearted  cowboy 
who  sacrifices  his  own  secret  love  for  a 
young  woman  in  aiding  the  reform  of 
the  man  of  her  heart,  a  young  doctor 
who  is  a  victim  of  drink.  Irene  Rich 
lends  an  ingratiating  characterization. 

A  certain  warmth  of  spirit  and  the 
pungent  odor  of  the  Cumberland  pines 
permeates  "The  Little  Shepherd  of 
Kingdom  Come,"  (Goldwyn).  Jack 
Pickford  depicts  the  hero  of  John  Fox, 
Jr.'s,  widely  read  novel  of  the  nameless 
lad  who  finds  a  name,  a  manhood  and  a 
love  in  the  fiery  test  of  the  Civil  War. 
.^s  the  primitive  hero  of  the  forests, 
young  Pickford  does  well,  but,  to  us,  he 
falls  distinctly  short  of  the  Fox  hero  in 
the  wartime  moments.  Yet,  on  the 
whole,  it  is  a  pleasant  picture.  Clara 
Horton  is  as  becurled  a  blonde  cutie  as 
any  young  movie  hero  might  hope  to 
find,  but  Pauline  Stark  has  been  ill  ad- 
vised as  to  facial  make-up  as  the  wistful 
mountain  girl,  Melissa.  Dwight  Crit- 
tenden stands  out  as  the  village  school- 
master. Wallace  Worsley's  direction  is 
adequate,  particularly  in  the  choice  of 
fine  scenic  locations. 

Sewell  Ford's  nervy  young  hero, 
Torchy,  has  reached  the  screen  in  the 
person  of  Johnny  Hines.  The  first  of 
the  series,  (Master  Films),  is  not  par- 
ticularly inspired.  Hines  seems  too  old 
for  the  boyish  hero,  we  regret  to  report. 


Ellen  From  Tennessee 

{Continued  from  page  90) 
not  crazy  about  'adventuresome'  parts, 
but  can  do  whatever  I'm  given  to  do,  as 
I  have  not  as  yet  developed  temperament. 
And  my  hobbies  are  horseback  riding, 
of  course — every  Southern  girl  can  ride; 
it's  a  part  of  her  education,  but  my  prin- 
cipal hobby  is  my  mother.  She  has  been 
such  a  dear  and  came  around  so  beauti- 
fully when  she  realized  that  I  was  des- 
perately in  earnest  about  wanting  to  suc- 
ceed in  my  profession.  She  has  stayed 
with  me  in  New  York  and  even  Jour- 
neyed to  the  coast  with  me.  She's  not 
just  a  mother — she's  a  pal. 

"And  ambitions?  Well,  seriously,  to 
make  the  very  best  of  myself  and,  even 
tho  I  never  become  a  great  star,  so-calkd, 
to  do  something  that  will  stand  out — to 
do  a  picture  that  people  will  remember 
because  of  some  part  I  played,  whether 
great  or  small."

Photoplay  Writing 

offers  a  great  opportunity  to  those  who  have 
ideas.  The  increased  demand  for  motion  pictures 
has  brought  hundreds  of  new  producing  com- 
panies into  the  field.  The  supply  of  good  stories 
is  not  keeping  pace  with  the  demand  and  it  is 
to  the  outside  writer  that  the  producers  must 
look  for   new  materiaL 

As  literary  skill  is  not  essential,  the  field  is 
open  to  all.  There  are  a  number  of  things,  how- 
ever, that  must  be  known  in  order  to  be  able  to 
fiut  the  story  into  acceptable  form.  This  in- 
ormation — all  the  information  needed — may  be 
obtained  without  any  great  expenditure  of  money 
or  time.  Our  treatise  offers  you  complete  and 
detailed  instructions.

Our  "Young  Visitors' 

By  FAITH  SERVICE 


Not  so  very  long  ago  we  had  three 
distinguished  young  visitors  for  luncheon 
at  No.  175  Duffield  Street,  Brooklyn.  I 
use  the  term  "young"  advisedly.  The 
three  vi'ere  Dorothy  Gish,  Lillian  Gish 
and  Mother  Gish.  "Mother,"  said  Lil- 
lian, speaking  of  some  recently  taken 
family  photographs,  "is  the  beauty  of  the 
family"  ... 

It  is  said  by  a  very  great  many  authori- 
ties on  the  diverse  subject  that  Art  is 
Realism.  If  this  be  so,  the  quintessence 
of  Art  can  be  handed,  sans  dispute,  to 
Dorothy  and  Lillian  Gish.  Lillian  is,  in 
real  life,  the  origin  and  source  of  her 
•wistful  screen  prototypes.  She  is  gentle ; 
she  is  finely,  gently  intelligent ;  she  is 
resourceful.  There  is  to  her  an  appeal- 
ing personal  charm  even  as  the  charm 
she  gives  us  screenically. 

■Dorothy  is  Dorothy.  She  has.  humor. 
She  has  verve.  She  has  "pep"  and  ac- 
tion. One  is  never  certain  what  her  next 
move  will  be,  nor  her  next  speech.  Pos- 
sibly she  is  not  quite  certain  herself. 
Mother  Gish  regards  "The  Little  Dis- 
turber" with  something  of  apprehension. 

We  found  no  ostentation  and  no  flurry 
of  excitement  at  that  luncheon.  It 
would  not  be  supposed  that  young  vis- 
itors of  fame  were  with  us.  Lillian  asked 
questions,  for  the  most  part.  And  Dor- 
othy lamented  the  fact  that  she  plays  in 
comedies  w'hen  she  had  much,  much 
rather  play  in  drama,  and  lamented,  still 
further,  the  fact  that  she  had  to  work 
at  all.  "I  never,"  she  said,  "crack  a 
smile  in  between  pictures.  I  couldn't  be 
induced  to." 

Lillian,  quietly,  with  the  little  air  she 
has  of  one  apart,  observed  that  the 
ruling  characteristic  of  human  nature  is 
to  long  to  do  the  things  one  is  not  doing 
and  for  which  one  is  not  fit.  She  her- 
self, she  said,  would  much  prefer  to 
write. 

At  the  time  of  their  lunching  with  us 
they  were  house-hunting  in  Westchester 
county,  to  be  near  the  new  Griffith  stu- 
dio. We  asked  them  what  manner  of 
home  they  were  seeking  and  they  in- 
formed us  that  it  was  to  be  a  farm. 
Dorothy  interpolated  that  a  cow  was  to 
be  the  first  object  of  their  search.  She 
couldn't,  she  said,  conceive  of  what  they 
would  ever  do  with  a  cozv.  Now,  chick- 
ens, a  dog,  cats,  pigeons,  even  pigs  .  .  . 
but  a  cow  .  .  .  We  gathered  that  Doro- 
thy has  a  probably  wholesome  fear  of 
cows  and  we  delicately  suggested  the 
same. 

"Mother  is  the  only  brave  one  in  the 
family,"  agreed  Dorothy  with  equanim- 
ity. "We  had  a  burglar  scare  in  Cali- 
fornia, and  Lillian  and  I  nearly  died  of 
fright  —  under  the  bedclothes  —  goose- 
flesh  and  all  that.  Mother,  on  the  con- 
trary, sat  straight  up  in  bed,  levelling  a 
pistol  at  the  door  thru  which  her  grimly 
intended  victim  was  to  come.     She  ac-

A 


The  Old  Canoe— Moonlight 
—and  Us  Two 

Isn't  it  easy  to  bring  to  mind  the  cosy  scene?     The  swish  of 
limpid  waters;  subdued  voices;   the  seductive  harmony  of  stringed 

instruments — lilting  notes — dreamy — elusive — soothing  as  a  sweetheart's  touch 
— crashing  chords  and  syncopation,  the  spontaneous  expression  of  the  tingling 
joy  of  life  and  youth.  Honestly,  whether  it  be  in  the  memory  or  but  half- 
acknowledged  hope,  don't  you  thrill  with  the  sweet  intimacy  of  that  cooling, 
moon-lit,  music-caressed  solitude? 

But  listen  to  a  secret :  It  isn't  the  canoe — nor  the  moon,  nor  the  water 
that  plants  the  thrills  in  our  hearts.  It  is  the  MUSIC — the  lingering  melodies 
that  haunt  us  with  thoughts  of  happy  hours.  And  'tis  tlie  same  in  any  setting.  Summer's 
shady  nooks;  snugly  evenings  of  early  Fall;  Winter's  cheery  firesides— always  and  every- 
where the  music  of  the  good  old  Gibsons  seems  to  furnish  the  indefinable  "something" 
(hat  just  naturally  eliminates  formality,  makes  hearts  brighter,  friendships  more  dear,  and 
ove  the  sweeter,  and  fills  memory's  storehouse  with  precious  thoughts.  This  is  the  secret, 
lut  really  there  is  no  secret  at  all,  for  anyone  can  own  and  play  a  GIBSON.

MOTION    PICTURE    CLASSIC 

Dont  Let  Your  Right  Eye  Know  What  Your  Left  Is  Doing 

{Continued  from  payc  106) 

cant  stop.     If  you  want  me  to  work- 
get  him  out  of  here.' 
"At  that  time  I 


was  getting  twenty- 
five  and  CliarHe  was  drawing  twelve, 
fifty!" 

I  gave  a  pretty  good  imitation  of  Ben's 
famous  blank  expression  at  this  remark. 
Mr.  Turpin  settled  his  eyes  on  a  couple 
of  figures  in  the  carpet  and  continued, 
unmoved.  "Twelve  hundred  and  fifty  a 
week  !,"  he  said  slowly.  "I'd  have  thought 
that  a  slight  prevarication  if  I  hadn't 
seen  a  check  or  two. 

"Then  one  day  Broncho  Bullets  An- 
derson came  to  me  and  offered  a  contract 
for  two  years  at  twenty-five  per  week. 
Nothing  to  worry  about,  he  couldn't  dis- 
charge me — I  couldn't  quit — and  always 
a  steady  living  for  twenty- four  months, 
hot  or  cold,  stormy  or  sunshine ! 

"I  reached  for  a  pen  with  my  fingers 
shaking.  'Where?'  I  said.  Broncho 
lUillets  pointed  to  a  line  near  the  bottom 
of  the  page,  and  it  was  all  I  could  do  to 
see  it  with  my  right  eye.  The  left  was 
olif  the  job  looking  far  into  the  future. 
Just  for  a  bluff,  I  swirled  the  penholder 
around  like  a  man  getting  ready  to  write 
fancy  cards.  Then  I  wrote — just  as 
firm — Bernard  Turpin !  That  settled  me 
for  two  3'ear.s — we  worked  at  Niles, 
upper  California. 

"Then  at  iast  It  dawned  on  me  that  I 
had  sold  myself  for  a  mess  of  pottage. 
I  began  to  hear  of  salaries.  I  discov- 
ered that  I  had  made  more  than  three 
million  for  the  Essanay — actually  cleared 
that  much  on  my  pictures  .  .  .  and  I 
was  living  on  a  clerk's  salary.  We  had 
hard  work  in  those  days — slapstick  of 
the  roughest  sort." 

"How  do  you  manage  to  look  so  blank 
when  you  know  a  piece  of  pie  is  coming 
at  you,  or  that  ice-cream  is  going  down 
your  back?" 

"Never  anticipate  anything." 
"How  can  you  help  anticipating  when 
you  just  know  it  is  coming?"  we  per- 
sisted. 

"Just  dont — that's  all.  Think  of  noth- 
ing, keep  your  mind  an  absolute  blank — or 
you  cant  look  blank,  of  course.  I  didn't 
mind  the  custards  or  soft  soap  or  soot 
and  flour  so  much  in  the  good  old  slap- 
stick days,"  he  said,  "but  cold  ice-cream 
running  down  your  back  is  something 
that  you  cannot  forget  in  a  hurry.  I'm 
glad  those  days  are  about  over.  We're 
depending  more  on  expression  and  funny 
situations  now." 

"You  are  a  scream  in  'Salome  vs. 
Shenandoah,'  "  we  hurried  to  say. 

"I  dont  like  it — and  I  dont  like  the 
public  appearance  I  make  as  John  the 
Baptist.  I  consider  it  sacrilegious — • 
even  if  it  is  a  travesty  on  the  Theda 
Bara  play.  I  was  brought  up  better 
than  that,"  concluded  Mr.  Turpin,  so- 
berly and  sadly,  and  if  you  ever  want  to 
know  just  hoiu  sad  he  can  look,  go  and 
see  one  of  his  comedies. 

Ben  turns  out  a  picture  about  eleven 


times  a  year.  He  is  a  hard  worker,  and 
even  when  he  is  not  featured  in  a  Sen- 
nett  comedy,  he  is  usually  "rung  in"  for 
an  extra  bit. 

A  few  months  ago,  he  lost  four  of  his 
best  front  teeth,  because  a  man  who  was 
to  kick  him  in  the  chest  "lost  his  bear- 
ings and  aiimed  too  high."  Ben  has  been 
in  the  hospital  thirty  times  for  operations 
or  breaks,  occasioned  by  rough  comedy. 
Such  is  the  life  of  a  comedian. 

"When  did  you  begin  to  think  yourself 
worth  more  than  twenty-five  dollars 
weekly?"  we  asked,  wishing  to  lead  the 
conversation  back  safely  to  Mr.  Turpin's 
intrinsic  value. 

"I  was  playing  with  Charlie  Chaplii 
in  'A   Night  Out,'  and  it  was   like  co- 
starring  plus  getting  an   extra's  wages. 
When  we  had  finished  two  reels,  Charlii 
said  we  were  going  out  on  a  location  oi 
Monday.    This  was  Friday.     I  said,  Ti 
not  going  a  step  unless  I  get  five  hundrei 
dollars    in   cash — no    checks   for   mine!'. 
There  were  two  more  reels  and  I  made 
up  my  mind   I'd  quit  pictures   or  earn 
what  I  thought  I  was  worth.    He  coaxet 
and  talked — but  I  said  it  was  five  hun- 
dred or  nothing.     He  told  me  I  must  bi 
ready  to  go  on  Monday  at  eight  a.  m. 
said,  'Not  on  your  life.    I  stay  right  here 
unless  I  get  the  price  in  cash.' 

"Monday  he  did  not  start.  He  finally 
offered  three  hundred,  but  I  told  him 
curfew  would  not  ring  that  night.  The 
company  hung  around  until  Tuesday, 
then  five  hundred  pretty  little  bones  were 
placed  in  my  willing  hands,  and  from 
that  time  on  I  considered  myself  a  mo- 
tion picture  actor — and  a  fixture,  in- 
cluding my  eyes." 

Now  Turpin  owns  his  home,  drives 
his  own  seven-passenger  Studebaker  and 
is  a  member  of  the  Elks. 

"Yes,  I  guess  I'm  getting  popular," 
admitted  Mr.  Turpin,  without  vanity. 
He  is  one  of  the  most  matter-of-fact  in- 
dividuals who  ever  faced  a  hard  fall. 
Surprises  mean  nothing  in  his  bright 
young  life.  "One  lady  fan — she's  mar- 
ried, too — wrote  and  asked  me  for  one 
of  my  most  cross-eyed  pictures  to  hang 
in  her  bedroom,  for  she  says  that  when 
she  and  her  husband  quarrel,  she  feels 
cheered  up  right  afterwards  if  she  can 
go  and  laugh  at  my  picture.  That's 
doing  good  in  the  world,  aint  it  ?" 

And,  as  to  Ben's  famous  mustache,  he 
let  me  into  a  deep-dyed  secret.  The  first 
one  he  ever  wore  was  cut  off  the  end  of 
his  own  toupee !  He  almost  had  the  style 
patented,  he  avers,  but  finally  decided 
that  while  other  men  might  imitate  his 
"crepe  hair"  appendage,  they  never  could 
hope  to  attain  the  eloquence  of  teii- 
thousand-dollar  eyes,  so  now  a  wig- 
maker  has  a  steady  contract  to  make 
these  waterfall  effects  by  the  hundred. 

And,  like  the  immortal  Pope,  Bernard 
Turpin  believes  that  "Beauties  in  vain 
their  pretty  eyes  may  roll ;  charms  strike 
the  sight — but  merit  wins  the  soul"  of 
film  fans  everywhere.

THE  ELLINGTON  COMPANY 

80  Boylrton  Street,  Boston,  Mass. 


At  last  the  Church  has  actively  en- 
listed the  motion  picture.  This  spring 
sees  the  Interchurch  World  Movement, 
the  new  cooperative  organization  formed 
by  most  of  the  Protestant  denominations 
of  the  United  States  and  Canada,  using 
films  to  put  the  needs  of  the  world  be- 
fore the  country. 

During  the  winter  an  expedition,  num- 
bering the  Rev.  A.  V.  Casselman,  E. 
Lloyd  Sheldon  and  Harry  Keepers, 
sailed  from  San  Francisco  to  film  inter- 
esting things  of  the  Far  East.  At  about 
the  same  time  another  expedition,  num- 
bering Willard  Price,  editor  of  World 
Outlook,  and  Horace  D.  Ashton,  de- 
parted from  New  York  for  North 
Africa  and  the  Near  East. 


These  two  expeditions  were  sent  out 
by  the  Interchurch  World  Movement  in 
cooperation  with  the  Educational  Films 
Corporation.  These  represent,  as  pointed 
out  by  the  Educational  Film  Magazine, 
the  first  sincere  attempt  of  the  Church 
to  film  the  work  of  missions  in  foreign 
lands  and  to  obtain  unusual  pictures  of 
interest  in  this  particular  field.  The  ex- 
peditions will  thus  obtain  two  groups  of 
films.  The  first,  covering  mission  work 
and  activities,  will  be  later  shown  in 
churches.  The  second,  to  be  released 
under  the  title,  "World  Outlook  on  the 
Screen,"  will  be  shown  in  motion  picture 
theaters.  Some  100,000  feet  of  film  will 
be  obtained  in  all. 

This  second  group  of  motion  pictures 
will  delve  into  odd  bits  of  strange 
lands  never  seen  by  tourists.  Thus,  for 
instance,  they  will  touch  upon  the  life  of 
the  women  of  the  East  as  affected  by 
modern  progress.  Again,  they  will  re- 
veal how  the  world  war  has  brought 
civilization  to  the  Arab  and  Bedouin  in 
lonely  desert  spots. 


film  publications,  a  certain  steady  falling 
off  in  sales  of  American  photoplays  is 
manifesting  itself  in  England,  Italy  and 
Spain. 

Indeed,  in  England  the  threat  has  been 
made  of  a  high  protective  tariff  on  films. 
But  this  is  hardly  probable.  American 
productions  are  being  crowded  by 
cheaper  films  of  British,  Italian,  Scandi- 
navian and  even  German  make. 

Many  German  films  have  piled  up 
during  the  war  and  German  manufac- 
turers are  trying  to  find  a  market  for 
them  eve^'where.  These  make  tlieir 
appeal  because  they  are  workmanlike 
and  cheap.  British  producers  are  dis- 
tinctly worried  over  the  situation.  Can 
the  ill-nourished  infant  British  produc- 
tion stand  this  added  competition,  they 
ask.  A  movement  is  on  foot  to  force 
the  printing  of  the  country  of  origin 
upon  each  and  every  film.  This  is  to 
prevent  the  camouflaging  of  German 
films  as  Dutch,  Swedish,  Norwegian  and 
Danish. 


The  Far  Eastern  expedition  sailed  on 
the  Persia  on  December  21st,  and  eight 
months  vi'ill  be  spent  in  India,  Burma, 
China,  Japan  and  Korea.  The  Rev. 
Casselman  is  a  widely  known  missionary 
leader.  Mr.  Sheldon  is  well  known  as 
an  author,  playwright  and  scenario 
writer.  Mr.  Keepers  is  the  camera-man 
of  the  expedition.  It  will  interest 
Motion  Picture  Classic  readers  to 
know  that  he  was  the  camera-man  re- 
sponsible for  the  prize  picture,  "A 
Dream  of  Fair  Women,"  now  being 
shown  thruout  the  country  and  made 
under  the  direction  of  Wilfrid  North. 

The  other  expedition  will  visit  Egypt, 
Algeria,  Turkey,  Syria,  Armenia,  Pales- 
tine and  parts  of  Italy.  Mr.  Price  has 
attained  prominence  as  an  editor  and 
Mr.  Ashton  is  one  of  the  best  known 
photographers  and  motion  picture  men 
of  two  hemispheres.  He  is  a  fellow  of 
the  American  Geographical  Society  and 
a  member  of  the  New  York  Academy  of 
sciences. 


The  rivalry  between  American  and 
British  films  goes  merrily  on  in  England. 
Just  now  they  are  pointing  with  interest 
to  the  fact  that,  in  the  year  1918, 
there  was  a  fall  of  3,500,000  feet  in  the 
export  of  American  film  to  England. 
Also  that,  in  December,  1919,  Britain 
exported  films  to  an  amount  two  and 
one-half  times  as  great  as  the  corre- 
sponding month  of  1918.  Yet  The  Lon- 
don Kinematograph  sums  up  the  matter 
clearly  when  it  asks  British  screen  men 
to  drop  the  idea  that  Americans  dislike 
British  productions  and  seek  to  prevent 
their  importation.  "Let  the  British  film 
maker  drop  the  habit  of  appealing  for 
'equal  treatment'  from  America  until  he 
has  established  his  ability  to  give  equal 
value.  .  .  .  The  British  producer  who 
first  achieves  success  on  this  firm  basis 
of  equality  will,  we  venture  to  think, 
laugh  heartily  at  the  pitiful  attempts  oc- 
casionally made  today  to  picture  him  as 
a  hard-luck  case." 

A  certain  resentment  runs  thru  Brit- 
ish comments  upon  American  produc- 
tions. With  some  truth  we  must  admit 
they  protest  the  "naive  faith  of  some 
American  producers  that  one  soldier  of 
the  United  States  is  worth  a  few  dozen 
of  any  other  country." 


Yet  David  Griffith's  "Broken  Blos- 
soms" appears  to  have  scored  a  triumph 
in  London.     The  Daily  Mail  said : 

"The  whole  production  is  filled  with 
the  spark  of  genius  which  raises  it  above 
any  film  drama  yet  made  and  oiiens  a 
new  road  for  the  expression  of  the  high- 
est dramatic  art  on  the  screen," 

And  The  Sunday  Telegram  said :  "It 
is  in  every  sense  a  masterpiece.  David 
Wark  Griffith  has  no  equal.  Others  may 
emulate,  but  they  never  manage  to  get 
quite  the  same  touch.  'Broken  Blos- 
soms' will  be  one  of  the  big  things  of  the 


Judging  from  British  and  Continental     year.'

matter  how  liberally  you  smoke.  They 
are  always  appetizing— and  satisfying, 
because  they  have  a  desirable,  mellow 
body. 

Camels  leave  no  unpleasant  cigaretty 
aftertaste  nor  unpleasant  cigaretty  odor. 
In  fact,  every  angle  you  get  on  Camels 
is  so  different  from  any  other  cigarette 
that  you  will  be  won  as  you  were  never 
won  before! 

That's  why  we  say  frankly — compare 
Camels  with  any  cigarette  in  the  world 
at  any  price!    We  know  the  answer.

Lumber  shortages — a  virtual  famine  of  lumber — cxis 

III  many  parts  of  the  country.     Reports  indicate  it  ._ 

impossible  even  now  to  get  material  for  certain  needs. 

Stocks  were  never  as  low  as  thev  arc  now.    The  demand 

wasnever  asgreat  as  it  isnow.    THIS    MEANS   STILL 

HIGHER    LUMBER   PRICES.      It   means   that   prices 

will  go  upward  rapidl.v — that  it  will  possibly  lake  $150 

in  six  months  or  a  year  to  buy  $100  worth  of  lumber. 

\VilI  you  be  forced  to  pay  these  prices'    Will  your  need 

fur  a  home  in  six  months  cost  you  a  50%  or  a  100%   penalty?

MOTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC 

Our  "Young  Visitors" 

{Continued  from  page  111) 
tually  fired  a  shot,  altho  it  didn't  make 
the  mark.     The  burglar,  however,  was 
frightened  away.    I  told  mother  that  she 
had  the  heart  of  a  murderer." 

The  Editorial  Staff  shook  with  a 
sort  of  composite  mirth.  It  would  be 
hard  to  suppose  a  murderer's  heart  in  a 
Gish  breast.  There  is  something  about 
each  one  of  them,  even  to  the  more 
earthly  Doroth}',  suggestive,  reminiscent 
of  lavender  and  old  lace,  of  quaint  cus- 
tom and  lyric  verse,  of  melodies  fingered 
forth  on  a  spinnet,  of  potpourri  and 
minuets.  It  is  the  aroma  of  these  things 
which  they  have  brought  with  them  to  a 
hitherto  less  lovely  medium  of  expres- 
sion. They  are,  each  one  of  them, 
whimsically  characteristic.  They  have, 
individually  and  together,  an  atmospheric 
charm,  from  Mother  Gish,  who  is  but  a 
slightly-grown-older  Lillian,  to  Lillian 
herself,  slender  and  potential,  to  Doro- 
thy, sparkling  and  keen  and  young. 

They  are  quite  utterly  unprofessional 
in  their  manner,  in  their  point  of  view, 
in  their  bearing  and  talk.  They  might 
never  have  seen  the  inside  of  a  studio. 
There  are  none  of  the  earmarks.  Prob- 
ably there  are  no  two  girls  more  per- 
fectly themselves.  They  have  given  a 
great  deal  and  borrowed  nothing.  They 
do  not  talk  of  their  work,  if  they  can 
gracefully  avoid  it.  They  do  not  speak 
of  their  ambitions,  nor  of  their  suc- 
cesses, past,  present  or  future.  There  is 
about  them  a  fine  reticence.  They  love 
their  mother,  their  home  and  the  best 
artistic  expression  of  the  work  they  are 
doing.  These  things  come  naturally  to 
them  and  they  express  them  naturally. 

After  they  had  been  regretfully  ush- 
ered out  by  Mr.  Brewster  and  the  rest 
of  us,  we  asked  each  other  the  inevitable 
question  after  some  one  of  the  stars^ 
has  taken  luncheon  with  us  at  our  more 
modern  Round  Table — "\Vhat  do  you 
think  ?,"  we  wanted  to  know — and  we  all 
thought  the  same.  Lillian  was  as  we  , 
had  thought  she  would  be,  must  be,  from 
her  portrayals  on  the  silversheet.  She 
was  gentle,  she  was  lovely,  she  was 
poetic,  she  was  a  thinker  ancl  a  dreamer. 

Dorothy  was  as  we  had  thouglit  she 
would  be,  ')nust  be,  from  her  portrayals 
on  the  screen,  humorous,  lovable,  vivid, 
"regular." 

Mother  Gish  is  the  mother  of  the  two, 
an  eminently  satisfactory  arrangement, 
pro  and  con. 

For  these  young  visitors  the  house  of 
the  Big  Three  is  ever  open,  the  arms  of 
the  Editorial  Staff  the  same,  and  the 
table  ever  round,  with  a  capacity  for 
being  rounder ! 


Lu  Lu  'HucHON. — What  do  you  mean  by 
acciisiiig  my  beard  of  being  fInfFy  and  kinky? 
You  come  in  some  day  and  I'll  let  you  stroki^ 
it.  So  }-our  brother  thinks  Elsie  Janis  is  a 
regular  "pcacherino."  I  dont  know  what  that 
is,  but  tell  your  brother  I  agree  with  him.  And 
just  tell  that  brother  of  yours  he's  got  me 
wrong  with  the  ladies.  Yes,  I  sure  do  admire 
Charlie  Ray.  So  you  like  Tamar  Lane's  stuff

THE  GREAT 

1 920  FAME  AND  FORTUNE 

Are  you  beautiful?  V_xV^l  \|     A    J_JkJ/    X 

Do  you  possess  charm? 

Do  you  think  yourself  a  potential  Mary  Pickford  or  Theda  Bara? 

Does  your  environment  make  it  impossible  for  you  to  act,  but  not  to  dream? 

Do  you  live  in  a  make-believe  world  all  your  own,  far  removed  from  the  dull  reality  of  your  daily  life? 

Do  you  dream  of  fame  and  fortune  and  all  the  big  things  of  life?    Do  you  long  for  a  fairy  godmother 

who  will  some  day  touch  you  with  her  magic  wand — and  like  Cinderella-of-the-ashes,  transform  you  from 

a  dull,  drab  cocoon  into  a  beautiful  butterfly? 

The  New  Fame  and  Fortune  Contest 

Is  the  fairy  godmother  of  all  the  movie  fans  of  the  country.  By  the  magic  power  of  the  press,  she  will 
seek  you  out,  no  matter  how  small  your  hiding  place.  She  will  open  up  to  you  a  new  world — a  new  vista 
of  life  with  all  its  wonderful  gifts!  Thru  the  power  of  the  greatest  motion  picture  publications, 
The  Motion  Picture  Magazine,  The  Motion  Picture  Classic  and  Shadowland,  the  golden  op- 
portunity of  your  life  is  offered  to  you.  Remember  the  old  adage  which,  tho  it  may  bore  you  by  its 
familiarity,  yet  carries  the  force  of  a  great  truth — Opportunity  knocks  but  once! 
Go  to  your  photographer.  Have  him  make  a  photo  of  you  which  will  be  you. 
Send  it  in  as  early  as  possible. 

It  may  interest  you  to  know  that  a  great  five-reel  feature  drama  has  been  written  and  will  be  produced 
in  connection  with  The  Fame  and  Fortune  Contest  of  1920.  The  Honor  Roll  girls  will  all  appear  in 
this  picture. 

"A  Dream  of  Fair  Women" 

Which  brought  the  twenty-five  Honor  Roll  girls  of  the  19 19  Fame  and  Fortune  Contest  before  the 
eyes  of  the  world,  has  been  completed  and  you  may  see  this  wonderfully  interesting  picture  in  your  own 
home  town!  If  the  manager  of  your  home  town  theater  has  not  already  secured  this  film  for  exhibition, 
tell  him  to  get  in  touch  with  Murray  W.  Garsson,  Foundation  Film  Corp.,  1600  Broadway,  New  York. 
See  it!     It  will  give  you  an  idea  of  what  you  will  be  doing  if  you  are  one  of  the  Honor  Roll  winners.

Portraits  of  Your 
Favorites 

TWENTY-FOUR  LEADING  PLAYERS        1= 

What  is  a  home  without  pictures,  especially  cf  those  one  likes  or  admires?  How 
they  brighten  up  bare  walls  and  lend  a  touch  of  human  sympathy,  alike  to  the  homes 
of  the  rich  and  poor! 

And  what  could  better  serve  the  purpose  of  decoration  for  the  homes  of  motion 
picture  enthusiasts  than  portraits  of  the  great  film  stars,  who  have  become  world- 
wide famous? 

The  publishers  of  the  three  leading  motion  picture  monthlies,  the  Motion  Picture 
Magazine,  Motion  Picture  Classic  and  Shadowland,  have  accordingly  prepared  at  great 
expense,  especially  for  their  subscribers,  an  unusually  fine  set  of  portraits  of  twenty-four  of 
the  leading  players. 

These  portraits  are  S'A"  x  8"  in  size,  just  right  for  framing,  printed  in  rich  brown 
tones  by  rotogravure,  a  process  especially  adapted  to  portrait  reproduction,  and  are 
artistic,  accurate  and  high-grade  in  every  way. 

You  will  like  these  portraits,  and  3'ou  will  enjoy  picking  out  your  favorites.  You  will 
delight    in    framing  them   to  be  hung  where   you   and  your   friends   may   see   them   often.

Regarding  Delays 

,\s  we  have  announced  before,  the  great  printers' 
strike  in  New  York  interfered  seriously  with  the 
publication  and  distribution  of  every  periodical 
that  was  printed  in  and  around  New  York  City. 
Many  publications  went  bankrupt,  and  several 
have  not  j'ct  recovered  from  the  catastrophe. 
Every  one  of  them  has  sullered  immeasurably. 
Not  only  did  the  strike  mean  several  months' 
delay  in  getting  out  the  magazines,  but  it  meant 
a  terrible  confusion  in  every  editorial  office. 

Those  publishers  who  tried  to  get  their  magazines 
out  in  spite  of  the  strike,  adopted  various  methods, 
among  which  was  the  sending  of  one  piece  of 
work  out  of  town  and  another  piece  of  work  to 
another  town,  and  still  another  part  of  the  pub- 
lication to  some  other  place  or  to  be  done  by  some 
other  process.  Some  of  this  matter  was  lost,  other 
parts  were  printed  so  badly  that  they  could  not  be 
used,  and  the  working  machinery  of  every  edi- 
torial office  was  sadly  disrupted. 

On  the  top  of  this  came  blizzards  with  their  ac- 
companying 'raffic  obstructions,  and  for  weeks  it 
was  impossible  to  move  the  printed  magazines 
from  the  printerics  to  the  post-offices.  Then  came 
blizzards  and  freight  congestions  in  other  parts  of 
the  country,  which  further  delaj'ed  matters.  It 
never  rains  but  it  pours,  aiid  to  add  to  our 
troubles,  came  the  announcement  that  there  was  a 
serious  shortage  of  paper  in  the  world,  necessi- 
tating the  cutting  down  of  the  supply  used  by 
various  publishers.  It  is  certain  that  some  pub- 
lications must  go  out  of  existence,  and  it  is  well 
known  that  many  large  newspapers  and  magazines 
have  been  compelled  to  cut  down  either  the  size  of 
their  edition  or  the  number  of  pages. 

But  now,  since  the  strike  is  over  and  the  winter 
also,  the  sun  shines  once  more  and  we  emerge 
from  the  maze  of  difficulties  more  hopeful  than 
ever. 

Unless  something  unforeseen  occurs,  our  three 
magazines  will  be  published  on  time  hereafter,  and 
the  contents  will  be  superior.  We  have  taken  up 
the  missing  threads  of  various  departments  and 
now  have  them  well  in  hand.  Those  readers  who 
have  been  lenient  with  our  shortcomings  and 
patient  with  us  for  the  numerous  delays  in  getting 
their  magazines,  have  our  warmest  thanks  and 
gratitude.  We  arc  looking  for  better  things  in  the 
future,  and  we  can  see  no  reason  why  we  shall  not 
be  able  to  give  you  finer  magazines  than  ever,  and 
give  them  to  you  on  the  very  day  that  we  promise 
them.

Stars  Needed 

Any  exhibitor  will  tell  you  that  there  are  not 
enough  stars.  Good  stars  are  scarce,  and  they 
are  nearly  all  tied  up  with  contracts  with  a  very 
few  companies.  New  companies  are  forming 
every  day  and  they  require  stars.  This  makes 
the  demand  greater  than  the  supply.  The  pro- 
ducers have  been  objecting  to  the  High  Cost  of 
Stars,  and  the  exhibitors  are  complaining  of  the 
High  Cost  of  Films.  Some  have  even  gone  so  far 
as  to  state  that  the  Star  System  must  go.  But 
there  will  always  be  a  demand  for  stars  and  when 
there  are  enough  stars  to  supply  the  demand  there 
will  be  a  better  feeling  all  around  and  the  film 
industry  will  advance  and  prosper.  Again,  it  is 
evident  that  many  of  our  well-known  stars  are 
passing  out — some  retiring  of  their  own  accord, 
and  some  losing  their  popularity  and  drawing 
power.  It  is  quite  clear,  therefore,  that  we  must 
have  more  stars.  Where  are  they  to  come  from  ? 
We  maintain  that  there  is  no  better  way  to  dis- 
cover and  introduce  new  stars  than  the  Fame  and 
Fortune  Contest,  which  is  conducted  every  year 
by  the  three  leading  magazines, — Motion  Picture 
Magazine,  Motion  Picture  Classic  and  Shadow- 
land.  This  being  true,  it  should  be  warmly  sup- 
ported by  producers,  exhibitors  and  public  alike.

"An  exciting  story,  pleasel" 
How  many  times  have  those  words 
been  spoken  over  the  desk  at  the 
PubHc  Library! 

Exciting  stories !  How  much  in  demand  they  are 
with  the  readers  of  the  popular  magazines!  The 
love  for  them  is  universal ;  it  begins  and  ends  with 
no  one  class  or  creed. 

Pathe  Motion  Picture  Serials  ^re  always  exciting;  they  are 
written,  produced  and  acted  for  the  great  public  that  wishes 
to  be  lifted  for  a  little  while  from  the  hum-drum  facts  of 
everyday  life.  They  are  thrilling,  entertaining  and  always 
clean.  There  is  a  motion  picture  theater  in  your  vicinity  that 
shows  Pathe  serials ;  it  will  be  easy  to  find  it ! 

A^oixi  showing:  Ruth  Roland  in  "The  Adventures  of  Ruth;" 
George  B.  Seitz  in  "Bound  and  Gagged;"  Pearl  White  in  "The 
Black  Secret"  from  Robert  W.  Chambers'  book  "In  Secret;" 
Jack  Dempsey  in  "Daredevil  Jack." 

Coming:  "Trailed  by  Three"  with  Frances  Mann  and 
Stuart  Holmes;  George  B.  Seitz  in  "Pirate  Gold,"  (with 
Marguerite  Courtot)  and  others.

Nose  Pores 

How  to  reduce  tkem 


COMPLEXIONS  otherwise  flawless  are 
often  ruined  by  conspicuous  nose  pores. 
The  pores  of  the  face  are  not  as  fine  as 
on  other  parts  of  the  body.  On  the  nose 
especially,  there  are  more  fat  glands  than  else- 
where and  there  is  more  activity  of  the  pores. 
These  pores,  if  not  properly  stimulated  and 
kept  free  from  dirt,  clog  up  and  become 
enlarged. 

To  reduce  them:  wring  a  soft  cloth  from 
very  hot  water,  lather  it  with  Woodbury's 
Facia!  Soap,  then  hold  it  to  your  face. 
When  the  heat  has  expanded  the  pores, 
rub  in  very  gently  a  fresh  lather  of  Wood- 
bury's. Repeat  this  hot  water  and  lather 
application  several  times,  stopping  at  once 
if  your  nose  feels  sensitk^e.  Then  finish  by 
rubbing  the  nose  for  thirty  seconds  with 
a  piece   of  ice. 

Notice  the  improvement  the  very  first  treatment 
makes — a  promise  of  what  the  steady  use  of 
Woodbury's  Facial  Soap  will  do.  But  do  not 
expect  to  change  completely,  in  a  week  a  con- 
dition resulting  from  long  continued  exposure 
and  neglect.  Use  this  treatment  persistently. 
It  will  gradually  reduce  the  enlarged  pores  and 
make  them  inconspicuous. 

Begin  TONIGHT  the  treatment  your  shin  needs 

Get  a  cake  of  Woodbury's  I'acial  Soap  and 
begin  tonight  the  treatment  your  skin  needs,

BREWSTER  PUBLICATION  i 


i.;\v'-azme' 


Some  ten  or  twelve  years  ago  a  small 
periodical,  hiding  its  trcpidatioii  under  a 
cover  photograph  of  Thomas  A.  Edison, 
went  forth  on  its  first  jonrney  alone,  nut 
into  a  very  indifferent  world.  The  trip 
could  he  easilv  compared  to  tlie  first  trip 
made  hy  the  brain-child  of  Robert  Fulton. 

This  humble  instrument  of  literature  was 
none  other  than  Tm-:  Motion  Picture 
Magazini-;,  the  same  magazine  of  today— 
und  yet  not  quite  the  same,  for  the  growth 
of  its  popularity  has  been  remarkable-  and 
tho  the  seas  have  sometimes  been  rough 
and  the  sailing  uncertain,  it  has  weatliered 
all  storms,  arriving  in  port  as  the  greatest 
magazine  of  its  kind  in  the  world! 

You  think  this  a  rash  statement,  perhaps? 
Get  llic  lulv  number  and  judge  for  your- 
self ! 

The  cover  is  the  latest  portrait  of  Miss 
Blanche  McGarity,  a  winner  of  the  Fame 
and  Fortune  Contest  of  1919.  There  is 
also  an  interview  with  this  newly  arrived 
motion  picture  star. 

Wonder  what  a  studio  mail  clerk  thinks 
about?  Especially  when  he  has  to  stagger 
dailv  under  the  carloads  of  movie  fan  let- 
ters. In  "The  Confessions  of  a  Studio 
Mail  Clerk,"  by  himself,  you  will  find  many 
new  sidelights  on  this  all-important  sub- 
ject. 

Bert  l,\tell  is  seen  thru  the  fascinated 
eyes  of  Elizabeth  Peltret.  Sometimes  it  is 
pretty  nice  to  be  an  interviewer,  savs  Eliza- 
beth ! 

Brides  are  always  interesting  in  the 
hone>-mooii  stage,  and  when  the  bride  hap- 
pens to  he  Alice  Joyce,  the  bright  star  of 
Vitagrapb— well.  30U  just  have  to  read 
what  (.lad\s  Hall  has  to  say  about  it  in  that 
interview  she  had  with  Alice  t'other  day! 

And  the  new  novelizations — and  the  new 
pictures  of  all  the  popular  stars !  And  the 
latest  California  gossip  told  by  "one  who 
knows."

Stage  Plays  That  Are  Worth  While 

(Headers  in  distant  toiuiis  will  do  well  to  preserrc  lliis  list  for  reference  when  these  spoken 
plays  appear  in  their  vicinity.) 


Aslor. — Fay  Bainter  in  "East  Is  West." 
The  story  of"  a  (juaiiit  little  Chinese  maid  who 
falls  in  iove  with  a  young  American.  Racial 
harriers  seem  insiirmountahle,  but  there  is  a 
happy  and  surprising  ending.  Has  all  the  in- 
jredients  of  popular  drama. 

Belasco. — "The  Son-Daughter,"  with  Lenore 
Ulric.  George  Scarborough  and  David  Belas- 
co's  highly  colored  Chinese  melodrama  with 
the  vivid  Miss  Ulric.  One  of  the  big  hits  of 
the  season. 

Booth.— "The  Purple  Mask."  with  Leo  Dit- 
richstcin.  A  stirring,  romantic  melodrama  of 
the  (lays  of  the  First  Consulate  in  France; 
tense,  colorful  and  highly  interesting.  One  of 
the  best  evening's  entertainments  in  New  York. 
Mr.  Ditriclistein  is  delightful  as  the  royalist 
brigand,  the  Purple  Mask;  Brandon  Tynan  is 
admirable  as  the  republican  police  agent,  Bris- 
<iuet ;  Lily  Cahill  is  a  charming  heroine,  and 
Boots  Wooster  makes  her  bit  of  a  peasant  girl 
stand  out. 

Broadhitrsf. — "Smilin'  Through,"  with  Jane 
Cowl.  An  odd,  but  effective,  drama  which  pur- 
ports to  show  how  those  who  have  gone  before 
influence  and  watch  over  our  lives.  Miss  Cowl 
is  exceedingly  good  as  a  piquant  Irish  girl  and 
also  as  a  sp'irit  maid  whose  death  occurred 
fifty  years  before.  "Smilin'  Through"  will 
evoke  your  smiles   and  tears. 

Caj-i'iio. — "My  Golden  Girl."  A  passable 
musical  entertainment  with  a  score  by  Victor 
Herbert.  A  chorus  girl,  Jeannette  Dietrich, 
scores  the  hit  of  the  show. 

Central. — "As  You  Were,"  with  Irene  Bor- 
doni  and  Sam  Bernard.  A  delightful  musical 
show  in  which  Miss  Bordoni  dazzles  as  the 
various  sirens  of  history.  Pleasant  music  and 
a  pleasant  chorus  lend  effective  aid. 

Century. — "Florodora."  The  much-heralded 
revival  of  the  widely  popular  musical  show  of 
some  twenty  years  ago.  Done  with  charm, 
distinction  and  humor.  Eleanor  Painter^s 
singing  stands  out  vividly  and  George  Hassell's 
humor  is  highly  diverting.  Then,  of  course, 
there  is  the  famous  "se.xtette."  Here  is  a 
revival  that  really  revives. 

Cort — "Abraham  Lincoln."  You  shouldscc 
this  if  you  see  nothing  else  on  the  New  York 
stage.  John  Drinkwater's  play  is  a  noteworthy 
literary  and  dramatic  achievement,  for  he 
makes  the  Great  American  live  again.  "Abra- 
ham Lincoln"  cannot  fail  to  make  you  a  better 
American.  Moreover,  it  is  absorbing  as  a  play. 
Frank  McGlyn,  a  discovery,  is  a  brilliant  Lin- 
coln. 

Cowfrfv.— "My  Lady  Friends."  Highly 
amusing  entertainment  adapted  from  a  Conti- 
nental farce.  Much  of  the  humor  is  due  to  the 
able  work  of  Clifton  Crawford  in  the  role  of 
the  guileless  young  publisher  of  Bibles  whose 
efforts  to  spend  money  get  him  into  all  sorts 
uf  difficulties.  June  Walker  scores  in  Mr. 
Crawford's  support. 

£/(i'h(;c.— "Breakfast  in  Bed,"  with  Florence 
Moore.  A  rather  amusing  farce  satirizing  the 
movies  with  vaudeville's  lady  clown.  Miss 
Moore,  working  very  hard  to  put  it  over. 

Empire. — "Declassee,"  with  Ethel  Barry- 
more.  One  of  the  big  things  of  the  dramatic 
season  is  this  clever  play  by  Zoe  Akins. 
Whether  or  not  it  has  the  basis  of  truth,  it  is 
brilliantly  written  and  is  well  played  by  Miss 
Barr\inore. 

Fortv-Eighlh  Street. — "The  Storm."  A  well- 
told  melodrama  of  the  lonely  Northwest  with  a 
remarkable  stage  effect  of  a  forest  fire.  Helen 
MacKcllar  is  admirable  as  the  piciuant  French- 
Canadian  heroine. 

Forty-Fourth  Street. — "Look  Who's  Here," 
with  Cecil  Lean.  A  passable  musical  enter- 
tainment that  entertains  when  Mr.  Lean  and 
Cleo  Mayfield  hold  the  center  of  the  stage. 

G/oic— "Apple  Blossoms."  The  ambitious 
and  much  heralded  operetta  of  Fritz  Kreisler 
and  Victor  Jacobi  pins  colorful  Joseph  Urban 
settings.  An  offering  far  above  the  musical 
average.  lohn  Diaries  Thomas  sings  admir- 
ablv,  Wilda  Bennett  is  an  attractive  heroine 
anti  Florence  Shirley  lends  a  piquant  person- 
ality to  the  proceedings. 


Harris. — "Three  Showers."  A  musical  com- 
edy of  Dixie,  staged  by  the  Coburns,  who  pro- 
duced "The  Better  'Ole."  Rather  dull  and 
not  very  inspired.  Anna  Wheatoii  is  the  fea- 
tured member  of  the  cast. 

Hippodrome. — "Happy  Days."  Big  and 
spectacular  production  typical  of  the  Hippo- 
drome. The  diving  girls  are  again  a  feature, 
disporting  in  the  huge  "Hip"  tank. 

Hudson. — "Clarence,"  Booth  Tarkington's 
delightful  comedy,  built  about  the  way  a  re- 
turned soldier  reunited  a  disturbed  but  typic- 
ally American  household.  Superb  perform- 
ances by  Alfred  Lunt,  Glenn  Hunter  and 
Helen  Hayes  give  the  comedy  a  fine  verve. 

Knickerbocker. — "Shavings."  A  pleasant 
bucolic  entertainment  based  upon  Joseph  C 
Lincoln's  familiar  Cape  Cod  stories.  Harry 
Bercstord  is  featured  in  a  gentle,  whimsical 
characterization. 

Little  Theater. — "Beyond  the  Horizon,"  by 
Eugene  O'Neill.  This  powerful  drama  was 
produced  at  a  series  of  special  matinees  and 
proved  so  successful  that  it  won  a  theater  all 
its  own.  A  gripping  study  of  a  human  being 
crushed  by  environment,  told  with  compelling 
force.  One  of  the  biggest  native  dramas  of 
years.  Richard  Bennett  heads  a  remarkable 
cast. 

Maxine  Elliott's. — "What's  In  a  Name?" 
The  most  beautiful  musical  entertainment,  with 
the  possible  exception  of  the  Ziegfeld  revues, 
yet  seen  on  Broadway.  Colorful  new  art  stage 
designs,  remarkable  use  of  lights  and  gorgeous 
costumes  lift  it  into  the  realm  of  the  exquisite. 
Intelligently  written  and  put  together,  too. 

Morosco. — "Sacred  and  Profane  Love,"  with 
Elsie  Ferguson.  An  absorbing — if  loosely  con- 
ceived— drama  by  Arnold  Bennett  which  marks 
the  return  of  Miss  Ferguson  to  the  speaking 
stage.  It  is  the  story  of  the  remarkable  love  of 
a  keenly  mental  authoress  for  a  musical  genius 
who  slips  into  the  slough  of  drugs.  Miss 
Ferguson  has  many  admirable  moments  and 
Jose  Ruben  contributes  some  brilliant  playing 
as  the  drug  wreck. 

New  Amsterdam  Roof. — Ziegfeld  9  o'clock 
and  midnight  revues.  Colorful  entertainments 
unlike  anything  to  be  found  anywhere  else. 
Mile.  Spiiielly,  a  Parisian  favorite,  is  now  in 
the  cast  of  the  two  revues.  Mary  Hay  stands 
out  and  the  entertainers  include  Fanny  Brice, 
Carl  Randall  and  W.  C.  Fields. 

Nora  Bayes  Theater. — "Lassie."  A  charm- 
ing and  pleasantly  tuneful  little  musical  comedy 
of  Scotland  and  London  in  the  picturesque 
sixties.  Based  upon  Catherine  Chisholm  Cush- 
ing's  "Kitty  MacKay."  Tessa  Kosta  sings 
pleasantly  and  Mollie  Pearson  and  Roland 
Bottomley  are  prominent.  Dorothy  Dickson 
and  Carl  Hyson  contribute  some  delightful 
dance  interludes. 

Playhouse. — "The  Wonderful  Thing."  A 
human  play  built  around  a  poverty-stricken 
but  blue-blooded  English  family  into  which 
Jeanne  Eagels  comes  as  a  wealthy  heiress  and 
wife  of  the  eldest  son.     Pleasant  drama. 

Republic— "T\ie  Sign  on  the  Door."  A  very 
good  melodrama  which  boasts  many  instances 
of  the  unexpected — and  Marjorie  Rambeau  in 
highlv  emotional  scenes. 

5'/ii(bfr/.— "The  Blue  Flame."  with  Theda 
Bara.  A  lurid  melodrama  with  the  famous 
Theda  in  the  dual  role  of  an  ingenue  with  and 
without  a  soul.  It  is  breaking  bo.x-oftice  rec- 
ords, proving  that  every  one  wants  to  see 
Miss  Bara  "in  person." 

Thirtv-Ninth  Street  Theater. — "Scandal." 
Cosmo  Hamilton's  daring  drama  which  Con- 
stance Talmadge  played  on  the  screen.  Fran- 
cine  Larrimore  and  Charles  Cherry  have  the 
leading  roles  in  the  excellent  footlight  produc- 
tion. 

Winter  Garden.— "The  Passing  Show  of 
1919."  A  typical  girly  garden  show  in  which 
the  famous  runway  gets  plenty  of  use.  The 
revue  presents  a  number  of  travesties  upon 
current  attractions,  particularly  colorful  being 
that  of  "The  Jest,"  with  Charles  Winninger 
doing  a  clever  burlesque  of  Lionel  Barrymore,

How  I  Improved  My  Memory 

irv  One  Evening 


The  Amazing  Experience  of  Victor  Jones 


"O' 


you ! 


Mr.   Addison 


,  F  course  I  place 
Sims  of  Seattle. 
.^^  "If  I  remember  correctly — and  1  do 
remember  correctly— Mr.  Burroughs,  the  lumber- 
man introduced  me  to  you  at  the  luncheon  of 
the  Seattle  Rotarv  Club  three  years  ago  m  May. 
This  is  a  pleasure  indeed !  I  haven  t  laid  eyes  on 
you  since  that  day.  How  is  the  grain  business .' 
And  how  did  that  amalgamation  work  out  f 

The  assurance  of  this  speaker— in  the  crowded 
corridor  of  the  Hotel  McAlpin— compelled  me 
to  turn  and  look  at  him,  though  I  must  say  it  is 
not   my   usual   habit   to   "listen   in"   even   in   an 

hotel  lobby.  „    ,        ,  .    r 

"He    is    David    M.    Roth,    the    most    famous 
memory  expert  in  the  United  States,"  said  my 
friend  Kennedy,  answering 
my  question  before  I  could 
get  it  out.    "He  will  show 
you  a  lot  more  wonderful 
things    than    that,    before 
the  evening  is  over." 
And  he  did. 

And  as  he  went  into  the 
banquet  room  the  toast- 
master  was  introducing  a 
long  line  of  the  guests  to 
Mr.  Roth.  I  got  in  line 
and  when  it  came  my  turn. 
Mr.  Roth  asked,  "What 
are  your  initials,  Mr. 
Jones,  and  your  business 
connection  and  telephone 
number?"  Why  he  asked 
this,  I  learned  later,  when 
he  picked  from  the  crowd 
the  si.xty  men  he  had  met 
two  hours  before  and 
called  each  by  name  with- 
out a  mistake.  What  is 
more,      he      named      each 

man's  business  and  telephone  number,  for  good 
measure.  .         ,  . 

I  won't  tell  von  all  the  other  amazing  things 
this  man  did  except  to  tell  how  he  called  back, 
without  a  minute's  hesitation,  long  lists  of  num- 
bers, bank  clearings,  prices,  lot  numbers,  parcel 
post  rates  and  anything  else  the  guests  gave  him 
in  rapid  order. 

***** 
When   I    met   Mr.   Roth— which  you   may  be 
sure    I    did    the   f^rst    chance    I    got— he    rather 
bowled  me  over  by  saying,  in  his  quiet,  modest 

wav :  .         ,  t.      i 

"There  is  nothing  miraculous  about  my 
remembering  anything  I  want  to  remember, 
whether  it  be  names,  faces,  figures,  tacts,  or 
something  I  have  read  in  a  magazine. 

"YoH  can  do  this  just  as  easy  as  I  do.  Anyone 
with  an  average  mind  can  learn  quickly  to  do 
exactly  the  same  things  which  seem  so 
miraculous  when  I  do  them.  ,     „     i     .. 

"My  own  memory,"  continued  Mr.  Roth,  was 
originally  vcrv  faul'tv.  Yes  it  was— a  really  I'oor 
memory.  On  meeting  a  man  I  would  lose  his 
name  in  thirtv  seconds,  while  now  there  are 
probably  10,000  men  and  women  in  the  United 
States,  many  of  whom  I  have  met  but  once, 
whose   names   I   can    call   instantly   on    meeting 

"That  is  all  right  for  you,  Mr.  Roth,  I  inter- 
rupted, "you  have  given  years  to  it.  But  how 
about  me?" 

"Mr.  Jones,"  he  replied,  "I  can  teach  you  the 
secret  of  a  good  memory  in  one  evening.  This 
is  not  a  guess,  because  I  have  done  it  with  thou- 
sands of  pupils.  In  the  first  of  seven  simple  les- 
sons which  I  have  prepared  for  home  study.  I 
show  you  the  basic  principle  of  my  whole  system 
and  you  will  find  it— not  hard  work  as  you  might 

ffSrven ) 


fear— but  just  like  playing  a  fascinating  game. 
I  will  prove  it  to  you." 

He  didn't  have  to  prove  it.  His  course  did; 
I  got  it  the  very  next  day  from  his  publishers, 
the  Independent  Corporation. 

When  I  tackled  the  first  lesson,  I  suppose  1 
was  the  most  surprised  man  in  forty-eight  states 
to  find  that  I  had  learned  in  about  one  hour- 
how  to  remember  a  list  of  one  hundred  words 
so  that  I  could  call  them  off  forward  and  back 
without  a  single  mistake.  ,.,      , 

That  first  lesson  stuck.  And  so  did  the 
other  six.  ,,  ,, 

Read  this  letter  from  Terence  J.  McManus, 
of  the  firm  of  Olcott,  Bonynge,  McManus  & 
Ernst,   Attorneys   and  Counsellors  at  Law,   170 


Of  course  I  Place  You!    Mr.  Addison  Sims  of  Seattle" 


Broadway,    and   one   of   the   most   famous   trial 
lawyers  in  New  York: 

"May  I  take  occasion  to  stale  that  I  regard 
your  service  in  giving  this  system  to  the  world 
as  a  public  benefaction.  The  wonderful  sim- 
pHcity  of  the  method,  and  the  ease  with  which 
its  principles  can  be  acquired,  especially  appeal 
to  me  I  may  add  that  I  already  had  occasion 
to  test  the  effectiveness  of  the  first  two  lessons 
in  the  preparation  for  trial  of  an  important 
action  in  which   I   am  about  to  engage. 

Mr.  McManus  didn't  put  it  a  bit  too  strong. 
The  Roth  course  is  priceless !  I  can  absolutelv 
count  on  my  memory  now.  I  can  call  the  name 
of  most  anv  man  I  have  met  before— and  1  am 
getting  better  all  the  time.  I  can  remember  any 
figures  I  wish  to  remember.  Telephone  numbers 
come  to  mind  instantly,  once  I  have  filed  them 
by  Mr.  Roth's  easy  method.  Street  addresses  are 
just  as  easy.  ,        ,         i  u  . 

The  old  fear  of  forgetting  (you  know  what 
that  is)  has  vanished.  I  used  to  be  '  scared  stiff^ 
on  my  feet— because  I  wasn  t  sure.  I  couldn  t 
remeiTiber  what  I  wanted  to  say. 

Now  I  am  sure  of  mvself,  and  confident,  and 
"easy  as  an  old  shoe"  when  I  get  on  my  feet  at 
the  'club,  or  at  a  banquet,  or  in  a  business 
meeting,  or  in  anv  social  gathering.  ^ 

Perhaps  the  most  enjoyable  part  of  it  all 
is  that  I  have  become  a  good  conversationalist 
—and  I  used  to  be  silent  as  a  sphinx  when  1 
got  into  a  crowd  of  people  who  knew  things. 
Now  I  can  call  up  like  a  flash  of  lightning 
most  anv  fact  I  want  right  at  the  instant  I  need 
it  most  '  I  used  to  think  a  "hair  trigger  memory 
belonged  only  to  the  prodigy  and  genius.  Now  1 
see  that  every  man  of  us  has  that  kind  of  a  memory 
if  he  only  knows  how  to  make  it  work  right 


to  be  able  to  switch  the  big  searchlight  on  your 
mind  and  see  instantly  everythmg  you  want  to 
remember.  . 

This  Roth  course  will  do  wonders  m  your  ottice. 

Since  we  took  it  up  you  never  hear  anyone  in 
our  office  say  "I  guess"  or  "I  think  it  was  about 
so  much"  or  "I  forgot  that  right  now"  or  'I 
can't  remember"  or  "I  must  look  up  "his  name. 
Now  they  are  right  there  with  the  answer- 
like  a  shot. 

Have     you     ever     heard     of     "Multigraph"     Smith? 
Real    name    H.    Q.    Smith.     Division    Manager    of    the 
MultiRraph    Sales  Company,    Ltd..   in    Montreal.      Here 
is  just  a  bit  from  a  letter  of  his  that   I   saw  last  week: 
"Here  is  the  whole  thing  in  a  nutshell:    Mr.    Roth 
has  a  most  remarkable  Memory  Course.    It  is  sim- 
ple   and  easy  as  falling  off  a  log.   Yet  with  one  hour  a 
(lay    of   practice   anyone — i 
don't  care  who  he   is — can 
improve    his    Memory    100 
per  cent  in  a  week  and  1 .000 
per    cent    in    six    months." 
My    advice    to    you    is   don't 
wait  another  minute.      Send  to 
Independent      Corporation     for 
Mr.  Roth's  amazing  course  and 
see    what  a   wonderful   memory 
you  have  got.     Your  dividends 
in     increased     poiver     will     be 
rnormous.  Victok  Jones. 

While  Mr.  Jones  has  chosen 
the  story  form  for  this  account 
rf  his  experience  and  that  of 
others  with  the  Rctk  Menwry 
Course,  he  has  used  only  facts 
that  are  known  personally  to  the 
President  of  the  Independent

the  accuracy  of  Mr.  Jones' 
story   in   all   particulars.

Stage  Plays  That  Are  Worth  While 

(Contiinicd  from  page  b) 
ON  TOUR 
"Maiiniui's  Affair."— R:\i:he]  Butler's  admir- 
ably written  comedy— a  stiuly  of  that  deadly 
Inmian  specie,  the  hypochondriac  who  fancies 
herself  suffering  from  all  sorts  of  ills.  Done 
^yith  distinction  and  fine  discernment.  Ida 
St.  I. eon  scores  and  important  memhers  of 
the  cast  are;  Eflic  Shannon.  Roliert  F.clcson. 
Katherinc  Kaelred  and  George  Lc  Guerre. 

"The  I.illlc  iriwt>l'cr."—\A\e\y  and  amusing 
musical  comedy  with  tuneful  score  by  Rudolf 
Friml.  Vivienne  Segal  pleasantly  heads  the 
cast,  which  also  nnnibers  Harry  C.  Browne, 
who  does  excellent  work,  Mildred  Richardson 
and  \V.  J,  Ferguson. 

"The  Cat  Bird."  with  John  Drew.— .A.  lei- 
surely little  play  by  Rupert  Hughes,  dealing 
with  an  elderly  ecologist  who  straightens  out 
the  romances  of  se\eral  people  according  to 
the  principles  derived  from  hi&  studies  among 
the  flowers  and  insects.  Mr.  Drew  returns 
to  the  New  York  stage  after  two  years  as  the 
ecologist.     A  suave  evening's  amusement. 

"ll'fddiiig  Belts."— A  bright  and  highly 
amusiiig  comedy  by  Salisbury  Field.  Admir- 
ably written  and  charmingly  played  by  Marga- 
ret Lawrence  and  Wallace  Eddinger.  One  of 
the  things  you  should  see. 

".'J/'/irofl'i'/c. "—Highly  colored  and  lavish 
presentation  of  a  drama  based  upon  Pierre 
Louys'  exotic  novel  of  ancient  Alexandria.  Su- 
perbly staged  adaptation  of  the  play  that 
caused  a  sensation  in  Paris.  Dorothy  Dalton, 
the  screen  star,  returns  to  the  stage  in  the 
principal  role  of  the  Galilean  courtesan, 
Chrysis,  and  scores.  McKay  Morris  is  admir- 
able in  the  principal  male  role 

"The  Frivolities  of  1030." — G.  M.  (Broncho 
Billy)  Anderson's  girl  revue.  Lively,  speedy 
musical  show  with  a  large  measure  of  vul- 
garity, but  many  pretty  girls. 

"The  Royal  I'agaboiid." — A  Cohanized  opera 
comique  in  every  sense  of  the  words.  A  tune- 
ful operetta  plus  Cohan  speed,  pep  and  brash 
American  humor.     Also  tinkling  music. 

"The  Girl  in  the  Limousine.'' — A  decidedly 
daring  boudoir  farce  by  Wilson  Collison  and 
Avery  Hopwood,  iu  which  a  pink  and  white 
bed  is  invaded  by  every  member  of  the  cast 
during  the  progress  of  the  evening.  John 
Cumberland  is  very  funny  and  Doris  Kenyon, 
fresh  from  the  screen,  is  both  pretty  and 
pleasant  as  the  heroine. 

"Nightie  Night." — Described  by  the  program 
as  a  "wide  awake  farce,"  "Nightie  Night" 
lives  up  to  its  billing.  It  has  plenty  of  verve, 
ginger  and  some  daring.  There  are  scores  of 
laughs.  Heading  the  very  adequate  cast  are 
Francis  Byrne,  Suzanne  \Villa,  Malcolm  Dun- 
can and  Dorothy  Mortimer. 

"The  Magic  Melody." — A  "romantic  musical 
play"  with  a  tuneful  score  and  a  picturesque 
Willy  Pogany  setting.  Charles  Purcell.  Julia 
Dean,  Earl  Benham  and  Carmel  Myers,  the 
last  two  well  known  to  the  screen,  head  the 
cast. 

Elsie  Janis  and  "her  gang." — Lively  enter- 
tainment built  about  the  experiences  of  the 
A.  E.  F.  on  the  other  side.  Well  put  together 
by  Miss  Janis,  who  shines  with  decided  bright- 
ness.    A  pleasant  entertainment. 

E.  IJ.  Sothern  and  Julia  Marlowe  in  Shake- 
spearian repertoire. — These  artists  represent 
the  best  traditions  of  our  theater  and  their 
revivals  of  "Twelfth  Night."  "Hamlet,"  and 
"The  Taining  of  the  Shrew"  are  distinguished 
in  e\ery  sense  of  tiie  word.

"The      time      will 
come,"     writes     the 
same      authority, 
"when     millions    of 
people  will  be  writ-

countless    thousands

you  know  what  these 
writers- to-be     are 
doing    now?     Why, 
thev  are  the  men— 
arrnies     of     them—

even  driving  trucks, 
running     elevati^rs,

young    nnd    old,    bv

ing   typewriters,    or 
standing       behind 


counters,  or  running  spindles  in  factijrics,  bend- 
ing over  sewing  machines,  or  doing  housework. 
Yes-you  may  laugh-but  these  are  Ihc 
Writers  of  Tomorrow. 

For  writing  isn't  only  tor  genmses  as  most 
people  think.  Dontyoubeluvc  the  Creator 
qave  \mi  a  storv-Tprtting  faculty  just  as  He  did 
the  greatest  wri'ter?  Only  maybe  you  are  simply 
"blu^'Ied"  bv  the  thought  that  you  haven  t  the 
gift."  Many  people  are  simply  afraid  to  try^ 
Or  if  thev  do  try,  and  the.r  first  efforts  don 
satisfy,  thev  simply  give  up  m  despair,  and  that 
ends  it.  They're  through.  They  never  try 
aeain  Yet  if  by  some  lucky  chance,  they  haa 
fi?st  learned  the  simple  rules  of  writing,  and 
then  given  the  imagination  free  rein,  they  might 
have  astonished  the  world! 

BUT   two  things    are    essential   in   order   to 
become     a    writer.      First,    to    'earn    the 
ordinary  principles  of  writing     Second,  to 
learn  to  exercise  vour  faculty  of  Thinking     By 
exercising  a  thing  .vou  develop  it.    Your  Imagi- 
nation is  something  like  your  right  arm.      ihe 
more  you  use  it  the  stronger  it  gets,     ihe  prin- 
ciples of  writing  are  no  more  complex  than  the 
principles  of   spelling,   arithmetic,  or  any  tether 
simple  thing  that  anybody  knows.   Writers  learn 
to  piece  together  a  story  as  easily  as  a  child  ses 
up  a  miniature  house  with  his  toy  blocks.    It    s 
amazingly  easy  after  the  mind  grasps  the  simp  e 
"know  how."   h  little  study,  a  little  patience  a  1  ttle 
confidence,  and  the  thing  that  looks  hard  often 
turns  out  to  be  just  as  easy  as  it  seemed  difficult. 
Thousands  of  people  imagine  they  need  a  hne 
education  in  order  to  write.     Nothing  is  farther 
from  the  truth.     Many  of  the  greatest  writers 
were  the  poorest  scholars.     People  rarely  learn 
to  write  at  schools.   They  may  get  the  principles 
there,  but  they  really  learn   to   jm-./c   from  the 
ereat    wide,  open,  boundless  Book  of  Humanity !

hour    everv  minute,  in  the  whirling  vortex— the

stories  and  plavs-a  wealth  of  material,  a  world 
of  things  happening.   Every  one  <if  these  has    he 
seed  of  a  storv  or  play  in  it.     Think!     If  you 
went  to  a  fire,  or  saw  an  accident,  you  could 
come  home  and  tell  the  folks  all  about  it.     Jn- 
consciouslv  vou  would  describe  it  all  very  realis- 
tically     And  if   somebody  stood  by  and  vvrote 
down    exactly    what    you    said,    you    might    be 
amazed  to  find  vour  story  would  sound  )ust  as 
interesting  as  many  you've  read  m  magazines  or

Keep  your  skin 

fine  in  texture 


A  SKIN  like  a  child's!" — but  do  you  realize  what 
makes  a  child's  skin  so  beautiful?  More  than 
anything  else  it  is  the  exquisitely  smooth,  fine 
texture  which  men  and  women  alike  so  often  lose  in 
later  life. 

Examine  your  face  in  a  strong  light.  Do  the  pores 
seem  to  be  growing  enlarged  ?  If  so,  your  skin  is  not 
functioning  properly — the  pores  are  not  contracting  and 
expanding  as  they  should. 

To  restore  your  skin  to  healthy,  normal  activity  and 
give  it  back  the  fine,  smooth  texture  it  should  have, 
begin  tonight  to  give  it  this  special  treatment: 

Just  before  you  go  to  bed,  dip  your  washcloth  in  very 
warm  water  and  hold  it  to  your  face.  Now  take  a  cake 
of  Woodbury's  Facial  Soap,  dip  it  in  water,  and  rub  the 
cake  itself  over  your  skin.  Leave  the  slight  coating  of 
soap  on  for  a  few  minutes  until  your  face  feels  drawn 
and  dry.  Then  dampen  the  skin  and  rub  the  soap  in 
gently  with  an  upward  and  outward  motion.  Rinse  your 
race  thoroughly,  first  in  tepid  water,  then  in  cold.  When- 
ever possible,  finish  by  rubbing  your  face  with  apiece  of  ice. 
Special  treatments  for  each  different  skin  condition 
are  given  in  the  famous  booklet  of  treatments  that  is 
wrapped  around  every  cake  of  Woodbury's 
Facial  Soap.  Get  a  cake  today  and  begin  using 
your  treatment  tonight.  A  25-cent  cake  of 
Woodbury's  lasts  for  a  month  or  six  weeks  of 
any  treatment  or  for  general  cleansing  use. 
Sold  at  all  drug  stores  and  toilet  goods  coun- 
ters in  the  United  States  and  Canada. 


.^n  oily  skin  and  shiny  nose  can  be 
corrected.  In  the  booklet  of  treat- 
ments that  is  'Wrapped  around  every 
cake  of  IVoodburys  Facial  Soap 
learn  how  to  overcome  this  condition. 


The  famous  treatment 
for  blackheads 

A  PPLY  hot  cloths  to  the  face  until  the  skin 
,/\_  ^s  reddened.  Then  with  a  rough  washcloth, 
work  up  a  heavy  lather  of  Woodbury's  Facial 
Soap  and  rub  it  into  the  pores  thoroughly,  with 
an  upward  and  outward  motion.  Rinse  with  clear, 
hot  water,  then  with  cold — the  colder  the  better. 
Finish  by  rubbing  the  face  for  thirty  seconds  with 
a  piece  of  ice.  To  remove  blackheads  already 
formed,  substitute  a  flesh  brush  for  the  wash- 
cloth in  the  treatment  above.  Then  protect  the 
fingers  with  a  handkerchief  and  press  out  the 
blackheads. 


A  sample  cake  of  soap,  the  booklet  of  famous 
treatments,  and  samples  of  Woodbury's 
Facial  Powder,  Facial  Cream  and  Cold 
Cream  sent  to  you  for  IS  cents.

BETTY  ROSS  CLARKE 

Miss  Clarke  is  a  cinema  newcomer.     She  scored  in  William  Farnum's  "If  - 

Were  King,"  and  has  a  leading  role  in  Doris   Keane's  "Romance."     Miss 

Clarke  has  unusual  beauty  and  charm 


Betty  Compson  says  her 
career  really  started  over 
a  year  ago,  with  her  r61e 
in  "The  Miracle  Man." 
"Before  that,"  she  says, 
"I  had  drifted  along  aim- 
lessly and  without  partic- 
ular ambition.  Life  was 
an  adventure  —  and  that 
was  all.  I  never  thought 
of  tomorrow.  Nobody  in 
particular  gave  me  a  sec- 
ond thought.  I  didn't  my- 
self" 


RIGHT    at    the    start    we 
must    confess    to    a 
fearful    interview 
faux  pas. 

We  did  something  no  in- 
terviewer has  ever  ad- 
mitted, as  faT  as  we  know. 

We  sneezed.  It  was  an 
editorial  sneeze,  but  still  it 
was  a  sneeze. 

And  Miss  Betty  Comp- 
son did  something  never 
before  admitted  of  an  in- 
terviewee.   She  sneezed. 

When  you  realize  that  this  occurred  in  the  tea-room 
of  the  Claridge,  you  begin  to  comprehend  the  enormity 

of  it  all.  J     .      ,    ^ 

It  was  with  this  spirit  of  cold  camaraderie  that  our 
chat  began.  It  was  Miss  Compson's  first  outdoor— at 
least  as  far  out  as  the  tea-room— appearance  m  four 
days.  We  were  doing  our  best  to  forget  terrific  chills  in 
huge  cups  of  oolong,  said  oolong  being  the  only  ... 
But  that  is  another  story.  ,    ,  •    .    . 

" 'S  awful,"  sighed  Miss  Compson,  from  behind  the 
daintiest  of  handkerchiefs,  referring,  of  course,  to  the 
weather. 

"  'S  awful,"  we  admitted— between  chills. 

"Wonderful  city,"  continued  Miss  Compson.  Despite 
a  haze  of  bromo-quinine,  we  suspected  a  note  of  satire. 
But  we  were  wrong.    Miss  Compson  really  meant  it. 

We  murmered  a  long-suppressed  longing  for  a  warm

beach  at  Waikiki  or  some  such  spot,  altho,  in 
truth,  our  cold  was  abating.  What  cold  could  do 
otherwise  before  Miss  Compson?  For  she  is — 
here  we  find  ourselves  weeks  later  still  groping 
for  a  vivid  enough  adjective — dazzlingly  beauti- 
ful.    Which  is  hackneyed,  but  true. 

The  cinema  camera  has  never  caught  the  real 
Compson  beauty.  A  slender,  elusive,  delicate 
sort  it  is,  quite  Elsie  Fergusonish. 

All  this  we  enthusiastically  conceded  to  Mjss 
Compson.  "Very  nice — for  a  tired  editor  with 
chills,"  she  admitted. 

Firmly  removing  our  gaze  from  the  Compson 
profile,  we  asked  the  first-aid  query  of  all  inter- 
viewers :  "Your  hopes,  your  real  dreams,  all  that 
sort  of  thing,  please." 

"Betty  Compson's  career  really  began  slightly 
over  a  year  ago,"  she  started  impersonally.  "Be- 
"ore  that  I  had  rather  drifted  along  aimlessly  and 
without  particular  ambition.

the  "Classic" 


"I  started  as 
a  kiddie  in 
vaudeville  and 
I  played  a  vio- 
lin in  endless 
theaters.  My 
youth,"  (we 
smiled  at  the 
youthful  Miss 
C  o  m  p  s  o  n '  s 
use  of  the 
word),  "was 
just  one  rail- 
way station, 
hotel  hall-room 
and  dreary 
dressing-room 
after  another. 
It  was  a  liveli- 
hood— life  was 
an  adventure — 
and  that  was 
all  I  never 
thought  of  to- 
morrow. 
"Then  I  tried 

pictures.  I 
gained  a  little 
place   for  my- 

sel f   on   the 

screen.    Those 

were  the  days 

when  I  played 

in    comedies 

with  Roscoe 

Arbucklc  and 

others.     But  I 

never    quite 

struck    five. 

Nobody    in 

particular  gave 

me   a   second 

thought.      I 

didn't  myself. 
"One  day   I 

came  to  George 

Loane  Tucker, 

who  was  seek- 

ini»  a  girl   for 

'The   Miracle 

Man.'     I    was 

tired  and  discouraged — I  guess  I  looked  the  role. 

Mr.  Tucker  gave  it  to  me. 
"From  that  moment  dates  my  career,  whatever  it  may  be. 

The  chara-fi-  interested  me  and  I  fairly  lived  it  during  the 

making  of  the  photoplay.  Then,  for  the  first  time,  I  felt  ambi- 
tious and  1  began  to  try." 

Miss  Compson  smiled  whimsically.    "I  hadn't  read  much  of 

particular  value  before,  but  I  began  with  a  vengeance.  I  have 
put  my  months  to  good  u.se,  I  think,  for  in  that  time  I  have 
read  most  of  Wells,  much  of  Shaw  and  nearly  everything  of 
the  younger  Knglish  authors."     Miss  Compson  paused. 

"The  world  is  really  just  beginning  to  unfold.    I  was  a  dull 
outsider  before — now — well,  it's  nice." 

"Lookingbackward,"  wequeried,"what  impresses  you  most?"

Anyway, 


Miss  Compson  pondered  the 
question.  "It's  that  I  think  I 
have  discovered  at  least  a  part 
of  the  secret  of  screen  success. 
It  consists  of  sincerity.  If  you 
are  not  sincere  you  cannot  pos- 
sibly last  in  the  films. 

"You  must  feel  your  roles.  I 
am  positive  that  Norma  Tal- 
madge    sinks    her.self    into    her 

parts ;  that  Mary  Pickford  forgets  her  identity ;  that  Elsie  Fer- 
guson feels  her  film  moods.     Sincerity  must  be  there. 

"Then,  too,  you  must  have  some  brains  to  go  any  distance 
(Conlimied  on  page  74^ 


"You  must  feel  your  roles 
to  succeed  on  the  screen," 
says  Miss  Compson.  "I 
am  positive  that  Norma 
Talmadge  sinks  herself 
into  her  parts,  that  Mary 
Pickford  forgets  her  iden- 
tity, that  Elsie  Ferguson 
feels  her  film  moods.  Sin- 
cerity must  be  there" 


LEAVE  it  to  the  movies  to  bring  forth  a  new  variety 
of  aand  witch — a  lovely  damsel  of  youth  and  beauty 
and  perfection  of  form,  who  looks  so  intrinsically 
luscious  that  Eastern  producers  of  musical  revues  have 
changed  their  standard  of  ladies  of  the  ensemble.  In- 
deed, they  are  now  judging  chorus  aspirants  by  the  mack- 
sennettian  rules  and  regulations  the  silent  stage  formally 
"adopted"  at  least  two  years  ago  as  being  the  dernier  cri 
of  feminine  pulchritude. 

In  days  more  or  less  gone  by  pictures  used  to  pick  their 
pippins  from  the  stage  choruses.     Witness  Kay  Laurel, 
the  delectable  Olive  Thomas  and  the  lily-whi^e  Marion  Davies.

T  hereliy  confess  that  I  am  wont  to  get  considerable 
"kick"  out  of  the  screen  picture  of  IVfarie  Prevost 
in  her  one-piece  bathing-suit.  And  this.  I  assure 
you,  is  precisely  the  reason  that  the  movies  have 
stepped  forward  with  their  bevy  of  beautiful 
bathers. 

The   sand   \vitche>;   in   (piestion   must   ha\e   large

.MOTION    PICIURE    CLASSIC 

girls  hold  forth  are  precisely  like  the  boudoirs  at  a  socially 
exclusive  finishing  school,'  The  walls  are  covered  with 
the  usual  feminine  assortment  of  Art,  chocolates  are  on 
the  chairs  and  gum  under  the  window-sills,  ouija  boards 
are  on  the  dressing-table  and  the  spirit  of  Youth  per- 
meates everywhere. 

Impression  has  it  that  the  average  comedy  beauty  is  a 
peculiar  variety  of  fish ;  a  creature  who  spends  the  total- 
ity of  her  waking  hours  in  the  studio  swimming  pool, 
and  who  eats,  sleeps,  talks  and  dreams  of — water. 

Fact  is,  the  majority  of  the  girls  cant  swim,  and  nine 
out  of  every  ten  have  never  had  their  feet  wet  by  the 
splashing  ocean. 

A  very  poetical  male  once  wrote  that  the  New  York 
chorus  girl  is  an  exotic  flower — an  Orchid  which  blooms 
for  an  hour  and  then  fades.  At  any  rate,  she's  a  dis- 
tinctive creature  who  thrives  peculiarly  under  lights — on 
Broadway  after  theater  hour. 

The  movies'  midday  f  rolickers,  on  the  other  hand,  have 
a  clause  in  their  contract  which  makes  them 
liable  to  dismissal  if  they're  caught  out  in  pub- 
lic later  than  ten  o'clock  on  week-day  nights. 
Being  a  camera  subject,  a  girl  has  to  have  a 
"photographic"  face-:-one  that  will  not  look 
like  the  bird's-eye  view  of  a  plowed  field. 

In   addition,   she   must  have  qualities   that 

make  her  individual  and  different   from   the 

average  run  of  females.     In  other  words,  she 

just  "is"  or  she  "isn't,"     If  you  can  lose  a" 

girl   in   a  crowd   she   has   no  chance  on   the 

screen.     If  her  personality  does  not  stand 

out  among  other  personalities,  she  simply 

cant  qualify. 

Provided  .she  has  passed  the  acid  test, 
she  is  required  to  report  each  morning  at 
8:30.  With  another  girl  she  shares  one  of 
the  aforementioned  dressing-rooms.  She  must 
exercise;  she  cant  get  fat.  If  walking  wont 
turn  the  trick,  the  studio  matron  requires  her 
to  don  a  gym  suit  and  take  a  "workout"  on  a 
vacant  stage.     Or  perhaps  she  has  to  roll. 

Stage  chorus  girls  have 
of  the  foregoing  routine, 
plus :  rehearsals  at  eleven ; 
lunch;  performance  at 
two ;  rest  and  dinner ; 
evening  show  at  eight — 
plenty  of  one-two-three- 
kick  exercises.  No  chance 
to  get  hefty. 

None  of  the  successful 
contemporary   comedy 
girls  —  Phillis    Haver, 
Marjorie  Payne,  of  Chris- 
tie's;   Marie    Prevost, 
Peggy  Davis,  Vera  Stead- 
man,  Bessie  True,  of  Sun- 
shine ;    Norma    Canterno, 
Harriet  Hammond — have 
ever  had  .stage  experience.     The  majority  have 
come  to  the  studio  directly  from  school.     None 
have  ever  seen  a  theatrical  agency,  and  nearly 
all  have  been  brought  to  the  attention  of  the  . 
producers  by  other  girls  on  the  "lot." 

One  girl  invites  a  pal  to  visit  the  studio  and 
together  they  go  giggling  to  interview  the  man- 
ager. .Some  day  the  pal  is  employed  in  a  mob 
scene.  If  she  "is,"  she  is  regularly  added  to 
the  company,  and  it  is  not  infrequently  that  she 
develops  real  talent.  More  than  one  current

The  Cost  of

HARHISON  HASKINS 


NOWADAYS,  when  motion 
I)ictine  profits  and 
losses  are  reckoned  in 
millions,  few  stop  to  con- 
sider the  actual  cost  of  pro- 
duction. From  a  few  hun- 
dred dollars  the  cost  of  film- 
ing a  regular  release  photo- 
play has  climbed  from  the 
$30,000  of  a  year  or  so  ago  to 
$40,000  or  $60,000,  while  a 
feature  production  easily 
runs  up  to  from  $125,000  to 
$150,000. 

No  director  is  more  com- 
petent to  discuss  studio  costs 
than  Allan  Dwan,  who  is  es- 
sentially a  business- man 
director.  "I  smile  when 
directors  talk  loudly  of  art," 
.says  Dwan.  "I  look  upon  a 
photoplay  in  the  making  as  a 
commercial  product,  and  en- 
deavor to  create  a  picture 
that  will  make  the  broadest 
entertainment  appeal." 

It  was  then  that  Dwan 
began  detailing  production 
costs.  "The  average  stand- 
ard release — such  as  the 
products  of  the  Famous 
Players-Lasky,  Metro  and 
other  concerns — runs  above

the  Vidor  creed 
hangs  over  the  desk 
in  King  Vidor's  |>ri- 
vate  study.  It  domi- 
nates the  room,  even 
as  its  lofty  principles 
dominate  the  life  and  work  of  this 
yoimg  <hrector  and  producer,  who  has 
fearlessly  hroken  down  many  of  the 
cherished  traditions  in  his  endeavor  to 
hring  hetter  films,  with  hetter  themes, 
into  motion  pictures. 

The  first  time  I  met  King  Vidor 
was  in  the  Hu.sh  of  the  phenomenal 
success  following  the  showing  of  his 
initial  picture,  "The  Turn  in  the 
Road,"  and,  tho  he  was  pleased  and 
happy  over  the  i)raise  showered  upon 
his  work  and  the  honors  it  hrought 
liim.he  had  not  lost  his  head  nor  his 
.sane  halance.  I  met  him  again  a 
year  later,  when,  having  hacked  up 
this  success  hy  several  pictures  of 
rare  merit,  he  h.id  demonstrated  that 
his  first  effort  was  nr)  accident,  but 
tiie  result  of  keen  judgnuiit  guided 
by  an  absorbing  ideal. 

He  was  still  unspoiled,  eager  and 
boyish,  with  a  little  more  confidence, 
perhaps,  but  sincerely  viewing  his 
past  achievements  merely  as  the  finger 
pointing  to  greater  work  yet  to  be 
accomplished. 

After  all,  an  ideal  is  the  most  prac-

tical  thing  in  tlie  world,  for  it  is  the  force,  the  energy 
behind  action,  creating  a  subtle  spiritual  jiower  that 
finds  its  exiiression  thru  the  individual  who  has 
courage  to  listen  to  its  call. 

Remembering   the   N'idor   pictures,   wliich   are   ever. 
like  a  breath  of  clean,  fresh  wind  sweeping  aside  the 
accumulating   stale    and    sordid    elements    which    fre- 
quently mar  the  present-day  films,  I  am  glad  that  he 
has  unfalteringly  followed  his  ideal. 

"What  is  the  hiunan  pho- 
toplay ?"  1  asked,  as  I  tried 
to  memorize  the  creed  be- 
fore nic. 

After  a  thoughtful 
jiau.sc,  Mr.  N'idor  set  on 
record  a  satisfying  defini- 
tion as  he  replied,  ".\  hu-

they  really  are — one  that 
is  based  on  truth,  life  and

but  devoid  of  melodrama — 
a  theme  that  is  comprehen- 
sive and  discernible  by  the 
greatest  number  of  people! 
"Human  life  consists  of

uplifting  tlioiight  that  will  hel|),  I  shall  be  happy.  Life  can  be 
excitement  and  thrills  and  still  be  human,  or  it  can  be  all  of 
this  and  not  be  human  if  it  is  too  far  removed  from  daily 
experience,  too  much  toward  types  and  exceptions,  and  so 
narrowed  in  its  application  that  only  the  few  can  understand." 

"(]oing  back  to  'The  Turn  in  the  Road,'  "  I  prompted,  recall- 
ing that  marvelously  human  film  that  had  sent  its  vital  mes- 
sage into  the  hearts  of  many. 

"Well,  in  that  picture,"  began  Mr.  Vidor,  "I  had  this  idea  in 
mind — how  can  I  make  it  so  real,  so  true,  that  it  will  hit  home; 
in  other  words,  make  it  .so  universally  human  that  every  one 
who  sees  it  will  get  the  thought  and  be  with  the  characters 
as  they  work  out  the  story,  for  emotions  tend  to  unite  hu- 
manity thru  the  sharing  of  sympathies ! 

"With  this  hope  before  me,  I  laid  the  scenes  in  a  small 
town,  introduced  several  incidents  that  would  touch  any  neigh- 
borhood and  selected  characters  of  every-day  folks  whom  all 
know. 

"In  watching  motion  pic- 
ture audiences  I  have  no-  ..  ^'i^J^' -liSi! 
ticed  that  during  what  I 
call  the  human  scenes,  they 
are  interested  and  intense, 
while  during  the  romantic 
episodes  their  attention  is 
frequently  diverted." 

"Then  you  dont  consider 
the  love  story  an  essential 
ingredient?"  I  asked, 
amazed  at  this  iconoclastic 
suggestion.

I  believe  in  the  motion  picture  that  carries  a  message  to  humanity. 

I  believe  in  the  picture  that  will  help  humanity  to  free  itself  from 
the  shackles  of  fear  and  sufferiuK  that  have  so  lon^  bound  it 
with  iron  chains. 

I  will  not  knowingly  produce  a  picture  that  contains  anything  I 
do  not  believe  to  be  absolutely  true  to  human  nature,  anything 
that  could  injure  anyone  or  anything  unclean  in  thought 
or  action. 

Nor  will  I  deliberately  portray  anything  to  cause  fright,  sug- 
gest fear,  glorify  mischief,  condone  cruelty  or  extenuate 
malice. 

I  will  never  picture  evil  or  wrong  except  to  prove  the  fallacy 
of  its  lure. 

So  long  as  I  direct  picturesl  will  make  only  those  founded  upon 
the  principle  of  right,  and  I  will  endeavor  to  draw  upon  the 
inexhaustible  source  of  good  for  my  stories,  my  guidance  and 
my  inspiration.

"Not  what  is  termed  the  juvenile  love  interest,  unless  it  up- 
holds the  theme,"  he  replied,  laughing  at  my  surprise.  "In  the 
many  letters  I  received  from  young 
people  regarding  'The  Turn  in  the 
Road,'  few  of  them  mentioned  the 
love  story ;  it  was  the  struggle 
toward  the  light  that  interested 
them,  and  many  .spoke  of  the  help 
it  had  afforded,  which  all  goes  to 
show  the  trend  of  thought  in  the 
audiences  of  today. 

"In  my  last  picture,  'The  Family 
Honor,'  it  is  the  love  of  a  sister  for 
her  two  brothers  and  her  unswerv- 
ing loyalty  which  is  the  theme,  the 
ove  story  being  wholly  secondary ; 
while  in  'The  Jack-Knife  Man,'  by 
Ellis  Parker  Butler,  my  next  film, 
there  are  no  young  people  in  the 
cast,  except  a  four-year-old  boy, 
and  the  story  is  woven  around  the 
devotion  of  an  old  man  for  this 
child. 

"Romance  on  the  screen  is  usually 
too  vividly  portrayed,  too  obvious, 
too  highly  colored  to  be  natural  and  so  lacks 
interest.  It  is  the  simple  story,  simply  told, 
in  simple  surroundings  with  which  all  are 
familiar,  and  with  characters  like  them- 
selves, such  as  they  can  understand,  that 
has  what  we  call  the  universal  appeal  with 
an  audience. 

"For  instance,  the  majority  of  people  are 

not    handsome,    and    in    their    hearts    they 

haven't  the  sympathy  with  those  who  are, 

and  a  handsome   hero,  like  Wallace   Reid, 

has    more    to    overcome    in    reaching    his 

audience   than   does   a   plainer  man.      Will 

Rogers  made  one  of  his 

clever  remarks  when  he 

said,  'Guess  they  put  me 

in  motion  pictures  so  all 

the   homely    birds   will 

feel  good — there  are  so 

many  of  us!'  " 

"What  is  the  most  im- 
portant element  in  the 
successful  photoplay?"  I

added  the  little  wife,  with  a  new  and  sweetly  serious  note  in 
her  voice. 

Miss  Dean  is  a  stunning-looking  girl,  with  her  slim  young 
figure,  dancing  black  eyes,  rosy  cheeks  and  a  radiant  smile  that 
shows  her  merry  good  humor  as  well  as  her  pretty  teeth. 

She  is  still  the  "Wildcat,"  oh,  dear  yes,  irresistible  and  irre- 
pressible in  her  vivacity  and  gay  spirits.  Her  name  and  her 
piquant  face  may  be  flashing  all  over  the  world,  but  she  is  not 
a  bit  "up-stage,"  nor  the  least  spoiled — just  a  democratic,  gen- 
erous "good  fellow."  She  had  a  jolly  "Hello !"  for  every  one 
who  chanced  to  pass  our  bench,  whether  it  was  her  director, 
Tod  Browning,  or  Rrich  von  Stroheim,  the  maker  and  builder 
of  "Blind  Husbands,"  an  elderly'electrician  or  a  property  boy 
in  faded  overalls. 

"Sure,"  laughed  Priscilla,  when  I  spoke  of  this.  "They  are 
all  good  scouts ;  I  like  'em  and  I  believe  they  all  like  me.  They 
treat  me  to  candy  and  I  play  games  with  them — we  are  just 
kids  together  out  here. 

"Sometimes  I  try  to  be  gentle  and  demure,"  she  exclaimed, 
gaily,  "but  what's  the  use!  I  just  cant  be  quiet;  I  must  be  up 
and  doing  every  minute,  and  I'm  all  over  the  place,  teasing 
and  joking  every  one." 

"I  dont  see  how  he  ever  did 
it !"  I  said,  watching  the  eager 
little  face  beneath  the  droop- 
ing hat. 

"Who  did  w/mi<.^"  demanded 
Priscilla,  briskly. 

"Wheeler   Oakman "   I 

began, 

"Oh-h!''  she  interrupted, 
laughing.  "Well,  Mae  Mur- 
ray introduced  us  a  long  time 
ago  when  he  was  her  leading 
'man,  but  we  immediately  for- 
got all  about  each  other.  He 
was  in  service  fourteen 
months,  in  France,  too,  and  one 
afternoon  after  he  returned  I 
met  him  on  the  street,  but  we 
just    spoke    and    passed    on. 


Priscilla  Dean  and 
Wheeler  Oakman  were 
secretly  married  recently.

during  the  filming  of  the

T]iK  great   romance  has  come

Paris,"    and    recently    Pris- 
cilla Dean  and  Wheeler  Oakman 
slipped   away   and    were   quietly 
married ! 

It  is  still  a  dead  secret,  but  as 
Priscilla  and  I  talked  it  all  over, 

sitting  on  a  wooden  bench  under  the  huge  pepper  trees  in  the 
Universal  studio  grounds,  I  reminded  her  that  these  love 
stories  will  leak  out  eventually,  so  she  consented  to  my  an- 
nouncing the  interesting  news.

Vhen  my  picture,  'The  Virgin  of  .Stamboul,' 
ame  along,  Wheeler  was  cast  as  leading  man, 
nd  that's  when  it  began.  It  just  grew  and 
rew  until,  when  we  went  on  location  up  at 
)xnard  and  were  working  awfully  hard  on 
ur  desert  scenes,  he  proposed  to  me.  He  bet 
lat  we  would  be  married  within  thte  year,  and 

bet  we  wouldn't,  but — you  see — I  lost. 
leally,  this  is  the  first  serious  love  affair  I 
ver  had.  There  wasn't  any  use  waiting,  so 
'e  just  up  and  married  without  any  fuss  or 
xcitement. 

"We  are  planning  to  build  a  little  white 
olonial  bungalow  in  Hollywood.  Wheeler  is 
-azy  about  a  home,  and  I  am  domestic,  too, 
)r  I  can  cook  and  wash  dishes  and  scrub  and, 
hat  is  more,  I  am  glad  that  I  know  how.  We 
■e  already  scrapping  about  the  dogs — that  we 
ji'en't!    Wheeler  wants  a  bulldog  and  I  want 

wire-haired  terrier.  Isn't  that  a  peaceful 
mibination  ? 

"We  both  love  to  entertain  our  friends  with 
formal  dinners  and  suppers,  and  we  like  to 
vim  and  play  tennis  and  dance  and  ride 
)rseback,  but  neither  of  us  can  see  golf — 
oks  like  a  lot  of  walking  around  with  noth- 
g  doing.  We're  picture  fans,  too,  and  our 
lief  sport  is  following  serials — we  like  the 
rills !"  and  the  little  star's  con- 
gious  giggle  made  several  smile

Told  in  story  form  from  the  George 
Fitzmaurice-Mae  Murray  Photoplay 

By   DOROTHY   DONNELL 


GLORIA,  Lady  Falkland,  had  been 
dead  five  years,  but.  unfortu- 
nately, they  do  not  bury  women 
whose  bodies  are  still  able  to  move 
about,  and  eat  and  drink  and  breathe. 
So  she  carried  her  dead  heart  about 
with  her,  sepulchred  under  her  beau- 
tiful breasts,  and  looked  out  at  th« 
world  with  dead,  beautiful  eyes  that 
never  wept,  never  smiled,  even 
when  she  gazed  down  into  the  face, 
of  her  little  son. 

Lady    Falkland    never    looked    al; 
Archie  without  the  terror  of  seeing 
.something  of  his  father  in  the  soft 
baby  curves  of  him,  without  fear  oi' 
some  vague  hint  of  the  cold  cruelty, 
malice  and  cynicism  that  had  mur- 
dered her  girlish  hopes  beginning  to 
show  in  the  rosy  baby  flesh.     After 
all,  he  was  his  child  as  well  as  hers. 
Yet  it  was  the  boy  who  had  kept 
her     in     Constantinople     these     last 
hideous     years,     enduring     all     Sir 
Archibald's  slights,  insults,  indiscre- 
tions,  because   not   to   endure   them 
would  have  meant  disgrace  for  the  ■ 
boy    and    possibly    separation    from. 
him.     Constantinople,  with  its  hard 
glare    of    brassy    sun,    its    heartless 
gaiety  of  color  on  housetop  and  in 
market  square,  its  senseless,  soulless 
laughter  that  jangled  discordantly  on 
alien    ears— she    hated    the    place— 
until  even  the  powers  of  hating  had 
become  dulled. 

•  Tonight,  muffled  in  moonlight,  it 
lay  along  the  Hellespont  a  dream 
city,  wjth  frail  minarets  and  towers 
like'  fingers  pointing  upward.  The 
waters  under  the  prow  of  her  skift 
were  blue  and  tipped  with  little  light 
golden  flames,  the  air  was  clean  and 
scentless  upon  her  forehead,  robbed 
of  the  heavy,  sickly  odors  of  the  day.

smiled  the  wo-

I'm   not   the    Gloria   you 
knew.     I'm   her    ghost" 


"He  has 
Richard," 
man     in 


It  might  have  been  a  breath  out 
of  the  greenness  of  other  springs 
long  ago  in  England,  so  long  ago 
that  they  seemed  to  her  some- 
times like  a  thing  she  had 
dreamed  and  wakened  from. 

The  boatman,  a  muffled  shape 
in  the  prow,  began  to  sing  a 
native  chant,  but  the  soul  of  his 
passenger  was  far  away.  There 
is  something  about  beauty  that 
leads  the  thoughts  toward  some 
beautiful  thing,  and  Gloria  was  back  again,  six  years  back,  in 
Sus.sex  with  the  white  hawthorn  hedges,  like  ghost  flowers,  all 
about  them,  and  a  nightingale  setting  the  mo'on  to  silver  music 
and  a  man's  hands  touching  hers,  reverently,  a:',  an  acolyte  his 
shrine,  a   man's  voice  throbbing  in  her  ears.     "I   love  you, 

Gloria — oh,  I  love  you " 

It  had  been  her  beautiful  moment  and  she  had  let  it  be  taken 
from  her,  stolen,  cast  contemptuously  aside  to  wither  even  like 
one  of  those  tender,  budding  hawthorn  .sprays.  Love !  Bah ! 
A  word  for  babies  and  fools,  they  liad  told  her.  A  penniless 
girl  could  not  afford  love  when  she  might  have  marriage  with 
one  of  the  great  men-  of  her  country,  a  lord,  wealthy,  too — 
come,  come,  be  sensible ! 

The  clean  wind  of  the  Sussex  downs.  The  oaks  and  little 
thatched  cottages,  and  hedges  and  a  deep  voice  tliat  faltered 

over  foolish  words — "I  love  you,  Gloria "    The  hawthorn 

blossoms  that  would  never  bloom  for  her  again 

"Oh,"  said  Lady  Falkland  aloud,  with  a  httle  broken  laugh  of 
pity,  ''she  was  so  very  young,  and  she  believed  so  many  things, 
and  she  put  her  hand  out  trustingly  to  life,"  for  it  seemed  to 
the  disillusioned  woman  in  the  skiff  that  the  girl  who  had 
worn  a  white  gown  in  the  Sussex  dusk  was  some  one  else  who 
had  lived  and  died  a  long  time  ago.  Surely  she  was  not  one 
with  the  flouted,  scorned  creature  who  had  sickened  at  the 
shame  of  sitting  at  the  table  where  her  husband  and  his  mis- 
tress made  wanton  love  before  her  face  and  crept  out  here  into 
the  dusk  for  a  merciful  moment  of  respite. 

The  slender  boat  shell  moved  silently  thru  the  water,  leaving 
a  ribbon  of  golden  ripples  behind.  The  woman  sat  quite  mo- 
tionless, brooding,  her  white  hands  folded  lightly  in  her  lap. 
And  suddenlv  .siie  knew  that  she  did  not  care  any  longer  what 


he  did  or  how  he  insulted  her  wifehood  or  what  the  msolent, 
ruddy  Lady  Edith,  with  her  painted  lips  and  hard  glitter  of 
rings,  plotted  against  her.  The  dead  do  not  feel  shame,  can- 
not be  humiliated,  and  she  was  wholly  dead  of  heart  at  last. 

The  cry  that  rose  to  her  lips  now  was  not  of  fear,  tho  the 
frail  boat  staggered  under  the  impact  of  the  other  sjciff  that 
had  materialized  without  warning  out  of  the  shadows.  "Dick !" 
said  Lady  Falkland,  "Dick!"  and  held  out  her  hands  with  a 
beautiful,  simple  gesture  to  the  man  who  stared  incredulously 
down  at  her  from  the  other  boat.  In  the  prows  the  two  Turks 
quarreled  fiercely  over  the  mishap  and  the  blame  thereof.  The 
city  lay  very  far  away,  and  the  present,  while  the  two  travelers 
from  the  past  touched  hands  in  greeting. 

"God,  but  you  haven't  changed,'  Gloria,"  swore  Richard 
Loring,  and  then  the  moon  looked  out  from  her  face  veil  of 
cloud  and  fell  mercilessly  upon  the  lifted  face  of  Lady  Falk- 
land and  the  words  died  on  his  lips.  Beautiful  still,  with  hol- 
lows where  there  had  been  curves,  shadows  where  there  had 
been  light,  and  her  eyes — the  man  gave  a  stifled  groan.  "Gloria  \ 
What  has  he  done  to  you  ?" 

■'He  has  only  killed  me,  Richard,"  smiled  the  woman,  in  self- 
mockery,  "killed  the  heart  of  me.  He  would  do  that,  you 
know,  where  it  would  be  kinder  to  kill  my  body.  I'm  not  the 
Gloria  you  knew.  I'm  her  ghost.  But  I  keep  right  on  living. 
I'm  so  dreadfully  healthy,  Richard.    It's— rather  a  shame." 

He  shook.  She  felt  him  even  across  the  space  that  sepa- 
rated fhem.     Perhaps  her  soul   was  closer,  I   do  not  know

But  at  once,  because  she  was  a  woman,  and  women  spare  those 
whom  they  love,  she  changed  her  tone,  began  to  speak  lightly 
of  conventional  things.  How  did  it  happen,  she  asked  that  he 
was  here  in  the  Kast,  when  she  had  supposed  hmi  m  London . 
Her  tone  shook,  speaking  the  name,  and  he  sensed  somethmg 
of  the  awful  exile  of  her  soul. 

Less  tactful  than  she— men  always  prefer  the  fundamentals- 
he  answered  her  briefly.  He  was  an  attache  to  the  Consul,  very 
lately  arrived — yes,  yes,  every  one  she  knew  was  well  m  England 
when  he  left.  But  she,  he  stammered,  he  had  heard  thmgs 
—gossip— idle  reports "And  now,"  he  said,  suddenly  vio- 
lent "now  I  know  they're  true!  That  beast!  Yes,  I  must  say 
it,  Gloria— that's  what  he  is ;  no  man  could  treat  a  woman  so,  a 
woman  like  vou,  .so  little,  and  sweet  and  breakable  ... 

The  boatsmen,  from  anathemas  had  progressed  to  amenitie.s 
and  were  now  become  bosom  friends,  embracing,  to  the  peril 
of  their  craft.  Lady  Falkland  stirred  suddenly  and  looked 
about  her  with  startled  eyes.  "It's  late.  I  must  go  back. 
She  was  all  at  once  a  hunted  thing.  "If  he  finds  me  gone— 
you  see,  he's  so  anxious  to  find  something  he  can  use ^^ 

"Use?''  Loring  repeated  thickly.     "You  dont  mean " 

She  nodded  dully.  "He  wants  a  divorce.  Lady  Edith— he 
would  marry  her  if  he  could,  but  I  wont  ask  for  one.  For  the 
boy's  sake.  And  so— he's  watching— for  a  chance  to  sue  me. 
He's  even  chosen  the  man— a  Russian  prince  with  great,  thick, 
red  lips.  You  se£  J  have  to  be" — she  laughed,  breathlessly — 
"careful.  I  couldn't  lose  Archie,  you  know.  He's  the  only 
thing  I've  got  in  all  the  world."  ,  a      -j 

"You've  got  me,  Gloria,"  the  man  in  the  other  skiff  said, 
very  low.  In  the  dim  light  his  eyes  burned  down  into  hers 
with  a  dean,  clear  flame.  "I— haven't  changed.  I  never  shall. 
Some   men   are   like   that— they  want   only   one   woman   and 


you're  my  woman.  It's  something  stronger  than  we  are, 
stronger  than  life,  even.  It's  drawn  us  together  again  after 
all  these  years,  and  it  will  keep  on  drawing  us  until  there  is 
no  more  parting.  I  dont  know  how.  I  just  know  it's  so. 
Look  at  me,  Gloria.     Dont  you  believe  it,  too  r" 

She  shook  her  head.  "I'm  dead,  I  tell  you !  Can  you  raise 
the  dead.  Richard  ?  There's  nothing  left  here,"  her  hands 
touched  her  breast,  "nothing  but  ashes  .   ■    •"      .    ^    ,     ,     ,     , 

But  that  night,  within  her  own  chamber,  behind  the  locked 
door  she  knelt  for  a  long  time,  while  the  sleepy  maid  nodded 
in  her  corner,  wondering  why  the  God  of  the  white  race  re- 
quired such  endless  prayers.  But  Lady  Falkland  was  not 
praying,  or  if  she  prayed,  it  was  with  strange  words.  After 
all  these  years,  and  I  so  changed.  Am  I  still  beautiful,  I  won- 
der"' I  haven't  looked  into  a  mirror  for  so  long,  but  /i^  sneers 
at  me  and  says  no  man  could  be  expected  to  be  faithful  to 
such  a  scrawny  thing!"  ,  ,      ,    ,  ,  .<. 

The  thin  stufT  of  her  negligee  slipped  back  jfom  her  out- 
flung  arms,  showing  their  wasted  beauty.  She  had  been 
rather  a  plump  girl,  all  firm,  rosy  curves  and  dimples.  Ihe 
worn  beauty  of  her  lifted  face  was  stamped  with  horror.  Let 
me  stay  dead,  God!"  Lady  Falkland  prayed.  "Living  means 
suffering,  and  I'm  so  tired.  So  tired  of  feeling— too  tired  even 
to  love     Let  me  stay  dead,  please,  God !"         ' 

Sir  Archibald  Falkland  was  very  cordial  to  the  new  attache 
at  the  consulate,  a  trifle  too  cor- 
dial. Robert  Loring,  seething 
at  the  thought  of  the  wrongs  a 
certain  woman  had  suffered  at 
the  hands  of  this  stout,  jovial, 
effusive  person,  could  hardly  re- 
strain a  savage  desire  to  plunge 


"Let  me  stay  dead,  God, 
Lady  Falkland  prayed. 
"Living  means  suffering — 
and  I'm  so  tired.  So  tired 
of  feeling — too  tired  even 
to  live"

of  his  throat.  But  if  he  was  to 
help  Gloria,  it  could  not  be  by 
such  direct  methods,  and  so  he 
accepted  Falkland's  invitation  to 
call  at  his  house.  "A  man  falls 
heir  to  his  wife's  old  friends,  eh.  Loring?"  and  presently  he  went.

Falkland  that  all  Constantino|)Ie  knew,  light  hair  dragged  back 
from  her  forehead,  all  her  careful  gowning  not  quite  conceal-

hand.  "You  should  not  have  come,'  she  quivered.  "Oh,  I

Ai.iic  Bunn  Francis  was  born  in  London, 
F.ngland,  and  originally  destined  for  the 
law.     Hut  the  law  did  not  appeal  to  him. 
He  liked  the  idea  of  presenting  an  argument 
to  a  jury,  but  that  was  the  only  thing  he  did 
like ;  all  the  rest  was  drudgery.     However,  he 
did  his  best  for  a  while  in  order  to 
please  his  father,  who  was  a  promi- 
nent   barrister,    and    then,    one    day, 
fijUy    convinced    that    he    would    not  , 

gain  greatness  there,  he  left  the  pater- 
nal office  to  embark  on  the  career  he 
had  chosen  for  himself.  You  are 
right — he  became  an  actor. 

Now,  it  is  probable  that  but  for  his 
extreme  sensitiveness,  the  very  sen- 
sitiveness that  made  him  dislike  the 
law,  he  would  be  a  favorite  of  the 
London  'Stage  today.  Certainly  he 
would  never  have  been  a  pioneer  in 
moving    pictures.      His    success    was  ja^'- 

too  great  for  him  to  have  left  the 
stage  in  time. 

He  was  with  the  Kendals  for  two 
seasons  and  appeared  in  "The  So- 
licitor," which  ran  for  365  nights  in 
London.  This  was  followed  by  two 
more  big  successes,  "The  Barrister" 
and  "The  Guardsman."   ' 

He  became  very  elated,  he  told  me, 


Alec  Francis, 
Pioneer 


and  asked  ridiculously  big  salaries.  And' 
then,  he  said,  the  managers  decided  to  punn 
ish  him  for  thinking  him.self  indispensably 
by  dispensing  with  him  entirely. 

He  seems  to  have  reacted  to  outside?! 
events  with  characteristic  intensity.  Ap- 
parently, he  was  always  too  elated  or  overly^ 
cast  down.  It  did  not  occur  to  him  that' 
this  misfortune  might  be  temporary.  He: 
had  been  given  such  an  intoxicating  draught 
of  great  success  that,  when  the  cup  wasi 
taken  away  from  him,  it  must  have  seemed 
like  the  end  of  the  world. 

He  didn't  go  into  detail.  He  simply  said 
that  he  walked  the  streets  for  hours  and 
then  enlisted  in  a  regiment  bound  for 
British  East  India. 

"I  suppo.se  that  I  had  some  idea  of  pun- 
ishing myself,"  he  said.  He  told  me  that 
he  does  not  believe  anything  happens  in  life 
which  is  not  according  to  a  perfect  plan  and 
necessary  to  human  development. 

He  left  the  army  convinced  that-  he  was  , 
very  much  the  better  in  every  way  for  his  | 
experience.      He    had    grown    to    love  j 
India,  and  South  Africa,  too,  where  he  ; 
also    served.      In    England,    again,    he 
found  that  his  entire  viewpoint  of  life 
had  changed.     The  con- 
finement  of    his   once 
dearly    beloved    profes- 
sion was  quite  unendur- 
able   to    him.      He    had

become  imbued  with  the  spirit 
of  "The  Empire  Builders,"  so 
he  left  the  stage  again  and 
went  to  Canada  to  make  his 
fortune. 

"I  did  every  kind  of  work 
that  I  could  do,"  he  said, 
"from  running  a  ranch  to 
nursing  in  a  hospital." 

But  the  fortune  did  not 
materialize.  It  took  him  sev- 
eral years  to  work  off  his 
restlessness.  Finally,  how- 
ever, after  wandering  a  long 
way  around,  he  came  back  to 
the  place  from  which  he 
started — the  stage.  But  it 
was  the  New  York  stage ;  he 
has  never  returned  to  England.

Alec  Francis  is  now  one 
of  the  mainstays  of  the 
Goldwyn  dramatic  person- 
nel. Sometime  or  other 
he  plans  to  return  to  his 
first  love — th;  stage — for 
just  one  production.  Af- 
ter that  i*-  will  be  the  films 
again 


He  was  married  while 
he  was  on  tour  with  a  pro- 
duction named  "Comin' 
Thru  the  Rye."  His  wife 
was  a  member  of  the  same 
company. 

His  first  screen  ap- 
pearance was  with  Vita- 
graph.  He  was  with 
Florence  Turner  in  the 
first  two-reeler  ever 
made,  "Auld  Lang  Syne." 
From  Vitagraph  he  went 
to  World,  starring  in  the 
first  screen  production  of 
"Alias  Jimmy  Valentine," 


which  was  directed  by  Maurice  Tourneur.    Of  his 

Goldwyn  pictures  tho.se  that  come  most  readily  to 

mind  are,  "The  Face  in  the  Dark,"  "The  Cinderella   Man, 

"The  Flame  of  the  Desert,"  "The  Street  Called  Straight"  and 

"Earthbound,"  a  spiritualistic  picture  from  the  story  by  Basil 

King. 

You  must  imagine  him  as  I  saw  him  at  the  Goldwyn  studio 
in  Culver  City.  He  was  sitting  erect  in  a  straight-backed 
chair,  one  hand  clasped  over  the  other,  resting  on  the  curved 
handle  of  a  light-colored  cane.  He  wore  a  fawn-colored  over- 
coat. His  hair  is  grey,  his  skin  very  fair  and  his  eyes  a 
peculiarly  intense,  "electric"  blue. 

I  amused  myself  by  imagining  that  I  was  seeing  him  in  his 
own  house.  1  could  easily  fancy  myself  writing,  "The  place 
is  marked  thruout  with  an  elusive  atmosphere  of  the  Orient. 
This  is  all  the  more  peculiar  because  the  colors  are  subdued 
and  the  furniture  arranged  with  British  nicety." 

I  dont  know  whether  this  would  be  the  case  or  not.  He 
told  me  that  he  loves  the  Orient.  I  have  said  that  he  impressed 
me  as  being  a  mystic.  He  al.so  impressed  me  as  being  a  man 
with  a  very  highly  developed  sense  of  order. 

"I  have  been  house-hunting  all  week,"  he  said.     "It  seemi 
quite  impossible  to  find  a  place  to  live  in.     My  wife  and  I  are 
alone,   (my  step-children  are  both  married),  but  we  want  a

cant  l>reallie,  a>  tlm  i  will  ch(ike,"  she  lamented. 
"People  in  ])risnn  ninst  have  the  same  feeling — as  if 
great  walls  are  closing  in  on  them.  I  miss  the  blue 
skies  and  the  open  s|)aces  acutely.  I  could  never 
stand  life  in  a  city.  And  the  crowds!  It's  s6  dif- 
ferent in  Los  Angeles.  It's  so  homey.  Like  one  big 
family.  Here,  you  could  die  of  sheer  loneliness  and 
there  would  be  no  one  who  would  necessarily  know 
nor  care.  It's  a  city  of  strangers.  Of  course,  I  do 
enjoy  the  cafe  life  and  seeing  the  theaters  and  all 
that  sort  of  thing,  tcinpornrily.  But  I  could  never 
stand  it,  day  by  day.  I  know  that.  Being  born  in 
the  West.  I  suppose  .   .   . 

"I  like  to  do  Western  pictures,  too,"  she  went  on, 
"the  kind  I  have  done  with  I'.ill  Hart.  I  had  much, 
much  rather  do  that  type  of  work  than  the  slinky 
society  lady  variety.  There's, something  In  a  Western 
picture;  something  every  one  cant  do.  .Invlnidy  can 
do  the  drawing-room  stuff.  1  like  to  ride  and  shoot 
and  throw  up  my  hat.  I  can  do  it,  so  why  not  ?  It 
has  real  life  in  it."

Seena  Owen  combines 
— to  the  outer  eye — the 
bearing  and  sophistica- 
tion of  the  effete  East 
with  the  love  of  open 
soaces,  homey  people, 
Colts  and  Bill  Hart 
photoplays  with  mus- 
tangs and  shooting 


I  MIGHT  add,  .Seena 
seen   mentally, 

'too,  were  it  not 
for  the  cumbrous 
fact  that  said  addi- 
tion would  make  a 
cumbrous  title,  and 
meaning  must  go 
by  the  board  when 
.such  a  point  is  at 
stake.     Hence  .  .  . 

The  setting  was  the  Biltmore,  on  a  Saturday 
afternoon  at  tea-time.  Scenically,  the  value 
of  this  depends  upon  one's  point  of  view. 

The  background  was  the  spiralling  of  ciga- 
ret  smoke,  grey-blue,  which  added  to  the  dull 
gold  of  Seena's  hair,  and  there  was  Hawaiian 
music,  against  which  she  did  vociferously  pro- 
test, and  also,  there  were  coffee  and  consider- 
able French  pastry.  There  is  something  ex- 
ceedingly clean-cut  about  the  indubitable 
beautv  of  Seena.  She  moves  well,  too,  and 
she  has  a  charming  carriage.  She  has  a 
rather  indolent  air  and  a  detached  manner, 
and  yet  you  find,  ui)on  after-contemplation, 
that  she  has  said  a  great  hiany  things  which 
must,  necessarily,  have  come  from  a  fund  of 
thought  and  feeling.  She  is  unostentatious  to 
a  degree.  If  she  is  subtle  she  conceals  it,  and 
yet  her  simplicity  is  ultra  rather  than  simple. 

It  would  seem  super-discriminating  to  cavil 
at  the  necessity  of  stopping  at  the  Biltmore, 
yet  Seena  was  so  cavilling.  Not,  however, 
exclusively  at  the  Biltmore,  but  at  living  in 
New   York  City  generally.     "I    feel   as  tho   I

dashing  about  on  a  mus- 
tang .  .  •  rather  a  far 
stretch  of  the  imagina- 
tion, but,  (this  we  say 
modestly),  we  have  an 
elastic  imagination  and  a 
great  credulity,  and  we 
'ave  seen  what  we  'ave 
seen! 

Seena  was  here,  she 
knew  not  whether  tem- 
porarily or  no,  it  seemed. 
She  was,- at  the  timevve 
talked,  just  free-lancing, 
but  future  plans  were 
more  or  less  in  abey- 
ance and  pending  fur- 
ther consideration. 
Then,  too,  there  were 
stage  plans.  She  was 
quite  electric  when  I 
asked  her  whether  she 
would  like  the  stage.  "I 
would  be  crazy  about 
it !"  she  declared. 

It  being  a  few  days 
prior  to  the  arrival  of 
the  Yuletide  saint,  the 
conversation  ran  to  said 
arrival  and  to  the  wee 
generation  to  whom  the 
arrival  looms  so  impor- 
tantly. "There  is  going 
to  be,"  said  Seena,  not 
without  wistfulness, 
"some  sort  of  gather- 
ing of  the  kiddies  at  the 
Grand  Central  Palace 
on  Christmas  Day.  I 
am  going  down  there 
to  play  with  them  for 
a  while,  since  I  cant  be 
with  Patricia."  (Pa- 
tricia, be  it  said,  is  three- 
year-old  Patricia  Walsh  and  a  very  important  part,  indeed,  of 
Seena,  viewed  scenically  or  any  other  way.) 

"I  haven't  dared  to  break  the  news  to  them  at  home,"  said 
Seena,  "that  I  will  not  be  with  them  Christmas  Day.  We're 
an  awfully  chummy  family,  mother,  my  sister,  Mr.  Walsh,  my 
brother  and  the  baby  and  I.  I've  been  sending  all  sortg  of 
vague  telegrams  in  an  effort  to  break  the  ice,  but  I  haven't 
dared  to  attempt  the  final  word  yet.  It's  hard  to  be  away,  tho, 
on  Christmas  Day.    I  never  have  before." 

We  spoke  of  the  general  irreconciliation  of  the  woman  who, 
so  especially  in  this  day  and  age,  is  endeavoring  to  be  at  once 
professional  and  domestic,  to  combine  the  child  and  the  career. 
Seena  admits ,  to  puzzlement.  The  two,  she  thinks,  are, 
really,  irreconcilable ;  and  yet,  paradoxically,  no  woman 
reaches  a  high  stage  of  personal  development,  and  hence  a  high 
stage  of  artistic  development,  until  she  has  known  the  pos- 
session of  a  child.  "I,"  said  Seena,  "never  knew  anything 
until  I  had  Patricia.  I  dont  know  much  now,"  she  added, 
with  a  pretty  depreciation,  "but  I  knew  even  less  before. 

"Perhaps,"  she  said,  thoughtfully,  after  a  little,  "the  very 
struggle  between  the  personal  and  the  professional,' the  child 
aiTd  the  career  is  part,  a  very  large  part,  of  the  development. 

(Thirty-five) 


No  woman  reaches  a  high 
stage  of  personal  develop- 
ment, says  Seena  Owen, 
until  she  has  known  the 
possession  of  a  child.  "I 
never  knew  anything  until 
I  had  Patricia,"  she  de- 
clares 


It  is  hard,  but  ...  I  dont 
know  ..."  She  shrugged  her 
shoulders  and  laughed,  "One 
thing  I  do  know,"  she  said,  with 
a  glance  which  took  in  the  pleas- 
ant dalliance  of  the  room,  "I 
could  never  do  Hothinc/.  I 
would  rather  be  rushed  to  death 

than  to  be  idle.     That  would  be  to  me  the  one  thing  I  never 
could  stand.     I  dont  see  how  it's  done." 

Seena  beheves  in  laughter.  Lots  of  it.  For  all  sorts  of 
things,  physical  and  mental.  No  physician,  she  thinks,  can  do 
for  vou  what  laughter  can  do,  mere  fooling.  "I  was  so  de- 
pressed a  couple  of  hours  ago,"  she  told  me,  "that  I  didn't 
think  I  should  be  able  to  say  three  connected  words,  arid  then, 
about. an  hour  ago  Clarine  Seymour  came  in  and  we  just  sat 
up  in  my  room  and  laughed  and  laughed  and  kidded  away  like 
two-year-olds,  and  now  I  feel  like  one.  The  depression  is 
gone.  I  dont  know  any  one  I  have  more  fun  with  than  I 
do  with  Clarine,  anyway." 

Seena  is  a  sort  of  an  illustration  of  the  impossibility  of  Last

of  "professionals"  and  their 
friends,  know  of  its  existence. 
One  does  not  enter — one  is  ad- 
mitted at  a  ring  of  tlie  bell,  vol- 
ubly greeted  in  Italian  and  po- 
litely conducted  up  a  wide  flight 
of  stairs  to  rooms  that  must  have 
been,  in  days  of  yore,  the  scene 
of  many  notable  gatherings,  a 
place  where  the  elite,  the  fa- 
vored few,  entertained  —  and 
were  entertained.  A  place  of 
charm  and  dignity,  with  its  many 
quaintly  fashioned  old  chande- 
liers, high  arched  doorways,  long 
mirrors,  bare  poli.shed  floors, 
tables  gleaming  with  napery  and 
silver  at  which  were  gathered 
interesting  and  congenial  groups. 
We  were  a  party  of  four.  Miss 
Ca.ssinelli,  her  mother,  a  friend, 
myself.  While  Mrs.  Cassinelli 
was  giving  her  attention  to  the 
menu,  Dolores  was  holdmg  court. 
From  this  table  and  that  came 
artists  from  the  Metropolitan 
stage,  from  the  concert  stage,  a 
few  from  the  speaking  stage,  to 
greet  her,  speaking  always  in 
soft,  liquid,  eager  tones,  their 
mother  tongue.  Listening  to  the 
inconsequent  chatter,  the  gay 
laughter,    the    manifest    compli-

SHE  claims  the  distinction  of  being 
the  only  Italian  screen  artist, 
and  is  proud  that  this  is  true. 
She  is  proud,  too,  of  the  fact  that 
she  is  an  Italian,  that  she  wis  born 
in  the  land  of  sunshine  and  blue 
skies,  of  music  and  song,  of  a  race 
with  the  subtle  charm  of  older  civ- 
ilization  and    culture   than   ours — 

poets,  artists,  thinkers — of  the  race  that  is  ready  to  "kiss  or 
kill,"  a  hot-blooded,  warm-hearted  people,  with  the  keen  sense 
of  justice  that  quickly  recognizes  and  seeks  to  right  a  wrong. 

It  was  Caruso  who  gave  to  his  young  countrywoman  the 
title,  "The  Cameo  Girl,"  and  the  name  has  clung.  Not  because 
Caruso  gave  it,  but  because  Dolores  Cassinelli  is,  in  truth,  a 
cameo  girl — and  far  more  beautiful  in  reality  than  she  is  on 
the  screen.  She  has  the  splendid  glow,  the  sparkle,  the  effer- 
vescence of  champagne.  One  sees  in  her  pure,  clear-cut  pro- 
file, her  Madonna-perfect  face,  the  wistfulness,  the  immortal 
faith  of  youth ;  in  the  flame  of  her  dark  eyes  the  magic  of 
deathless  romance.  Love,  wi.sdom,  comedy,  tragedy — are  all 
combined  in  her. 

The  interview  was  accomplished  in  a  restaurant — if  a  place 
so  unusual  and  interesting  can  be  called  by  that  commonplace 
name — on  one  of  New  York's  cross  streets.  I  fancy  that  few

Cassinelli  in  her  own  Italy.  A 
coun  with  vivid  flowers  bloom- 
ing, the  tinkle  of  a  fountain, 
olive-skinned  swains  adoring  a 
dark,  vivacious  girl  picturesquely 
garbed,  behind  one  small  ear  a 
deep  red  rose. 

And  then,  with  a  wave  of  a 
slender  hand,  she  dismissed  her 
cavaliers  and  turned  to  me,  a 
thoroly  modem  .American  girl, 
delightfully  girlish  in  her  grey 
jersey  frock,  with  its  glorified 
vest  of  old-rose. 

CJver  the  delicious  Italian  din- 
ner I  marvelled  at  her  perfect 
l''ngli>h.  "I  speak  French  and 
Spanish,  too,"  she  said.  "Lan-

"OHK  says,"  moaned  John  Weems,  "she  says 
|j  she's  going  to  get  a  divorce.     My  God, 
what  shall  I  do?" 

"Let  her  get  it  and  thank  your  lucky  stars." 
But  Reginald  Jay  did  not  say  this  aloud.  He 
was  too  much  perturbed  at  the  prospect  evoked 
by  his  friend — blonde  Constance,  a  trifle  in- 
clined to  stoutness,  more  than  a  trifle  roman- 
tic, free  and  husbandless,  preying  upon  whom 
she  willed!  In  spite  of  the  testimony  of  his 
mirror  and  of  ladies'  eyes.  Jay  was  a  modest 
young  man,  but  even  modesty  could  not  blind 
him  to  the  fact  that  Connie  had  been  very  ten- 
der that  night  in  the  Forest  of  Arden.  He 
groaned  aloud,  and  the  afflicted  husband 
echoed  the  groan. 

"Yes,  think  of  it!  To  lose  that  peerless 
woman,  and  all  because  of  a  terrible  mistake. 
Oh,  why  did  I  ever  show  that  woman  over 
your  property?  Why  did  I  ever  go  into  that 
infamous  roadhouse  to  telephone?  Why  did 
1  fire  that  chauffeur"-'  And  some  men  can  take 
chorus  girls  to  Palm  Beach  and  get  away  with 
it  by  calling  it  a  business  trip!" 

John  Weems,  president  of  the  Weems  Pat- 
ent Clothes  Wringer  Co.,  ("Ring  out  the  old, 
wring  in  the  new,"  Pat.  1900),  was  not  built 
for  tragedy.  A  movie  director  would  have 
cast  him  in  the  role  of  the  prosperous  banker 
or  the  successful  business  man.  He  was  stout- 
ish,  baldish,  with  a  mind  that  worked  like 
ticker-tape  and  conversation  flavorous  of  the 
Wall  Street  Journal,  but  tonight  he  was  un- 
doubtedly moved. 

Chalmers,  the  detective,  was  inclined  to  take 
a  more  cheerful  view  of  the  situation.  "Come, 
come !  She's  only  got  two  witnesses,  seeing 
as  how  the  lady  in  the  case  has  disappeared. 
Lor'  lo\'e  you,  sometimes  we  have  to  fix  up  a 
dozen  !  The  chauffeur  wont  count  for  much. 
He  was  sore  at  being  fired  and,  anyhow, 
juries  dont  take  much  to  chauffeurs  since  the 
taxi  fares  has  went  up.  That  leaves  this 
gentleman  here " 

"I'll    lie,"    Reginald   Jay   declared,   "like    a 
gentleman." 

sir."     The  detective  shook 
"The  (|uestion   is,   can  you 


That  wont  do 
his   head   sagely, 
lie  like  a  liar?" 

"The  court  will  ask  you,"  moaned  Weems, 
"what  you  were  doing  yourself  at  Fender's 
Place  at  one  o'clock  in  the  morning,  and  what 
will  you  say  then  '" 

Reginald  thought  deeply.  "I  might  say,"  he 
suggested,  "that  I  was  attacked  by  redskins 
from  the  bushes,  or 
bitten  l)y  a  rabid 
Bolsheviki.  or  I 
sto()i)ed  to  buy  a

groaned.   "It's  no  use!   We  cant

;nd  by  gettin'  Mr.  Weems  hung!     You'll  have  to  fade,  that's 
all,  afore  the  process  servers  get  you." 

"Fade?"  Jay  repeated  vagfuely.  "I'm  sorry,  but  I  dont 
just " 

"Vamoose!  Skip!  Beat  it !  Make  your  getaway !"  the  de- 
tective snapped.  "Without  your  testimony  the  lady  cant  get 
the  goods  on  her  husband,  and  seeing  he  was  doing  you  a 
favor  by  carrying  the  lady  around" — and  here  he  winked  with 
the  eye  farthest  from  Weems — "it's  up  to  you  to  take  a  little 
trip  to  Canada  till  the  whole  thing  blows  over." 

Reginald  Jay  opened  his  lips,  but  the  shrill  pealing  of  the 


door-bell  interrupted 
him.  When  he  returned, 
he  carried  a  legal-look- 
ing pajier  which  brought 
a  disgusted  "Hell !"  from 
Chahuers.  "Too  late !  Y' 
cant  leave  the .Statenow  !" 
Weems  collapsed 
heavily  on  the  daven- 
port. His  Habby  cheeks 
(|uivered,  a  sniaJI,  for- 
lorn tear  trickled  down 
the  side  nf  his  nose. 
"My  Con.stancc  I  Mar-

Young  Jay  started, 
paled  perceptibly  as  a 
vision  was  vouchsafed 
him  of  Constance,  coy 
and  determined,  piloting 
him  up  the  aisle  to  the 
triumphant  strains  of 
Mendelssohn.  What  was 
it  she  had  called  him 
while  they  wandered 
thru  the  darkness  that 
night,  trying  to  find  the 
inn — Orlando?  Yes.  that 
was  it,  her  Orlando  I  "I 
— I  might  commit  .sui-

cried.  "That  would  be 
better  than  getting  mar- 
ried  " 

"You  mean  than  get- 
ting divorced,"  Weems 
corrected  him.  He  sat 
up  suddenly  on  the 
couch,  a  pale  gleam  of 
hope  flickering  in  his 
watery  gaze.  "Look 
here;  couldn't  you  be 
sick  ?  Sick-a-bed  '  Out 
of  your  head?  Forbid- 
den to  testify  under  the 
doctor's  orders?  Jay,

enough,  but  Constance 
was  worse.  It  was  his 
only  hope,  too.  "I'd  prefer  the  flew  to  the  flu.''  he  ventured, 
with  ghastly  humor,  "but  you  .provide  the  doctor  and  I'll  pro- 
vide the  corpse — er — that  is,  the  patient.  .\nd  perhaps" — hope- 
fully, as  one  determined  to  see  the  bright  side  of  things — "pei 
haps  my  case  will  be  desperate  enough  to  call  for  a  do.se  of 
Green  River  every  hour  or  so." 

It  was  a  very  sick  man  who  lay,  groaning  dismally,  the  next 
morning  when  Chalmers  ushered  in  two  small  and  weedy 
gentlemen,  equipped  with  black  bags  and  tall  silk  hats,  and 
introduced  them  cheerily  as  "Doctor  Widner  and  Dr.  I-'lexner, 
who  will  attend  to  your  case." 

Under  cover  of   a   groan.   Jay   |>ulled   the   detective   down.  , 
"Doctors?"  he  whispered.    "Real  M.D.'s?" 

Chalmers  grinned.  "X.D.'s — nearly  doctors,"  he  reassured 
him.  "The  Van  Dyke  beards  and  the  hats  are  props,  m'  boy.

and  a  spoon  arranged  on  the  -tand  beside  the  bed.  Chalmers, 
obviously  imjiressed  by  these  realistic  arrangements,  shook 
hands  with  jay  feelingly.  "( iood-by.  old  man,  and  if  worst

"Lea\e  that  to  us,"  Dr.  I'"le.\ner  assured  him  cheerily;  "we'll

admit  that  he  (//(/  have  a  ipieerish  feeling — in  his  heart,  it  was. 
or  perhaps  his  lungs.  Come  to  think  of  it,  his  grandfather  had 
died  of  Uright's  disease,  and  a  great-uncle  had  |)assed  away 
of  ]ihtliisis  at  the  age  of  ninety-two.  The  more  he  rcHected, 
the  worse  he  felt.  He  hadn't  a  single  grandfather  or  grand- 
m(;ther  left — in  fact,  nearly  all  his  ancestors  had 
something  or  other.  'I'here  had  been  a  surprising 
nujrtality  among  them  .    .    . 

He  groaned  with  real  feeling,  and  then  groaned  again  with 
still  more  feeling.  For  the  door  had  been  unceremoniously 
thing  o])en  and  Constance  W'eems  burst  plumply  into  the 
room.  "Reginald  Jay!"  she  accused  him;  then,  in  a  softened 
tone.  "Orlando,  how  could  you  treat  your  Rosalind  so?" 

The  sick 
man  gave  a 
really  brilliant 
imitation  o  f 
one  in  the  last 
throes  of  dis- 
solution. 
"Very  —  sick." 
he  trailed  out, 
and  sank  be- 
neath the  bed- 
clothes ;  "think 
—going  to— 
die " 

"Nonsense !" 
The  irritation 
got  the  upper 
hand  in  the 
lady's  voice, 
giving  it  the 
pleasing  qual- 
ity of  a  nut- 
meg grater. 
"You  know  as 
well  as  I  do 
that  it's  all  a 
put-up  job  to 
cheat  me  out  of

if  you  and  my 
husband  think 
for  one  mo- 
ment that  I'm 
going  to  be 
stopped  by 
child's  play 
like  this,  you'll 
find  you're 
very  much 
mistaken !" 

(Forty -one) 


Reginald  Jay  spoke  pleadingly,  "Have  a  heart!  I'm  really 
dl.     It — it  came  on  me  suddenly." 

Mrs.  W'eems  sniffed,  then  drew  out  a  handkerchief  bedewed 
with  delicate  scent  and  dabbed  at  her  eyes.  "It's  because  I  have 
a  heart  that  I  want  to  be  free.  Have  you  forgotten  our  Forest 
of.Vrden?  Orlando!  Orlando!  My  heart  is  fluttering  like  a 
bird — a  little,  tender  homing-bird  that  would  fly  to  its  own 
nest  !" 

"Help!  I'm  dying!"  moaned  Reginald,  and,  as  if  in  answer, 
the  door  opened  to  admit  Dr.  Widner,  followed  by  the  apolo- 
getic \\  ing  Chow. 

"I  no  can  hel|)ee !  Lady  velly  bigger  than  me.  I  say  no  can 
come  in.    She  say  go-to-hellee !" 

"1  am  sorry,  madam."  bowed  the  doctor,  "but  this  gentle- 
man cannot  be  disturbed.  A  very  serious  case  of — htm — 
post-mortem  anterior  metabolism,  with  complications.  (Quiet- 
ness is  essential.  Wing  Chow  will  keep  you  informed  as  to 
his  progress,"  and  the  amazing  little  man  actually  succeeded 
in  bowing  the  lady  out  and  closing  and  bolting  the  door  behind 
her.     jay  sat  up  in  bed  and  shook  hands  with  him. 

"You're  a  wonder!  A  moment  more  and  she'd  have  got 
her  divorce  and  married  me!''  he  exclaimed,  wiping  his  be- 
dewed brow.  "Some  women  rob  the  cradle,  and  .some  rob  the 
grave.  My  Cod,  I'd  stay  in  bed  a  year  to  kee[)  my  old  friend 
Weems  safely  married!" 

"On  the  uliole,"  the  doctor  mu.sed,  "on  the  whole.  I  think  1 
shall  prescribe  a  nurse  for  you.  An — ornamental  nurse,"  he 
hastened  to  add,  at  signs  of  explosion,  "one  whom  it  will  not 
hurt  the  eyes  of  an  invalid  to  look  upon." 

There    are    compensations    to 
everything,    even    to     sickness.

Late  one  evening  the  re- 
sourceful Constance  ap-

had  soft,  wavy  brown  hair  with 
gUnts  of  gold  in  it  which  the  ab- 
surd little  cap  made  no  pretense 
of  hiding,  and  she  had  a  smile 
that  made  one  pray  fervently — 
but  not  for  speedy  recovery. 
Then  and  there  Reginald  Jay  de- 
termined that  his  illness  should 
be  lingering  if  it  did  not  become  chronic. 

"Have  you  brought  your  trunk  'l"  he  asked,  feebly.  "I'm 
going  to  be  sick  more  than  a  suit-case  worth." 

The  nurse  seemed  surprised.     "And  yet  you  look  so  well!" 

"Do  you  think  so?"  Jay  cried,  eagerly.    "Of  course,  I  need 

a  shave,  but  when  I'm  dressed  up  I've  been  told  I  ought  to  try 

for  a  place  in  the  movies.    There's  a  photograph  over  there  on 

the  bureau  somewhere " 

Nurse  Durant  blushed  and  made  a  great  pretense  of  study- 
ing the  chart  at  the  head  of  the  bed.  "Temperature  normal — 
pulse  normal,"  she  read  aloud.  "Mr.  Jay,  how  long  have  you 
had  this- — this  illness  ?" 

"It  began,"  explained  the  patient  .sadly,  "with  a  love  affair." 
"Oh!"     "The  nurse's  tone  was  suddenly  remote.     She  was 
turning  away,  but  Jay  caught  her  skirt. 

"You  dont  understand.  It  wasn't  that  I  was  in  love,  but 
the  ladv.  Listen — oh,  please  listen!  You  cant  blame  me  if  a 
married  woman  insists  ui)on  falling  in  love  with  me,  can  you  .' 
Her  husband  was  an  old  friend  of  mine,  and  I  never  dreamed 
of  such  a  thing.  But  she  asked  me  to  go  to  walk,  and  a  storm 
came  up  and  we  couldn't  find  our  way  Isack  to  the  inn  till  mid- 
night.   And  she  kept  talking  about  how  romantic  it  was!" 

"I  suppose  she's  very  beautiful?"  but  the  pretty  nurse's  tone 
was  a  trifle  less  frigid. 


"Beautiful !"  Jay  growled.  "With  her  hair  all  out  of  curl 
and  pla.stered  over  her  face!  And  she  would  skip,  tho  she 
weighs  fifty  pounds  too  much,  and  now  she's  trying  to  get  a 
divorce  from  her  husband  because  I  happened  to  meet  him 
coming  out  of  a  roadhouse  that  same  night  with  a  woman  he'd 
been  .showing  real  estate  lots  to !    And  she  wants  me  to  be  her 

witness,   and   afterwards   she   means  to "      He  broke   off, 

shuddering. 

"There,  there !"  cooed  Nur.se  Durant,  smoothing  his  fore- 
head, quite  professionally,  of  course;  "you  mustn't  get  excited. 
It's  very  bad  for  a  man  as  sick  as  you  are.  Dont  worry  at  all. 
No  one  shall  marry  you  while  I'm  around." 

Ensued  several  delightful  days  during  which  Jay's  chart  tes- 
tified that  he  was  at  least  holding  his  own.  Constance  and  the 
Forest  of  .\rden  were  quite  forgotten,  while  Nur.se  Durant  and 
her  patient  discovered  singular  similarities  of  taste.  They  botli 
liked  limburger  cheese,  ragtime  music,  Robert  VV.  Chambers, 
auction  bridge  and  Coney  Island.  They  both  disliked  the  sub- 
way, highbrow  plays,  blondes,  bologna  and  grand  opera.  And 
when  they  both  at  the  .same  moment  stated  that  their  favorite 
movie  star  was  Norma  Talmadge,  they  looked  at  one  another 
awed.  It  was  almost  supernatural  to  feel  so  much  alike  about 
all  the  essential  things. 

But  even  a  nurse  has  to  have  some  sleep  and,  late  one  eve- 
ning, while  Reginald  lay  unprotected  and  helpless,  the  re- 
sourceful Constance  api>eared  via  the  fire-escape  to  reiterate  her 
plea  that  he  recover  and  help  to  free  her  from  a  man  who 
could  never  understand  her  soul-needs.  She  was  just  getting 
nicely  under  way  when  voices  outside  the  door  warned  of  the 
approach  of  a  visitor. 

"My  husliand !"  Coimie  whispered,  dramatically.  "Well,  it 
is  Fate!"     However,  she  showed  distinct  uneasiness,  and  just 

(Foriy-two) 


as  Jay  was  on  the  point  of  fainting  away  she  plopped  plumpiy 
into  the  clothes  hamper  and  drew  the  cover  down,  concealing 
all  hut  one  peroxide  curl.  At  the  same  moment  the  door  burst 
open  and  Weems  flung  himself  in,  quite  purple  with  some 
emotion  which  he  immediately  proceeded  to  explain.   ■ 

"I've  got  tlie  evidence!"  He  waved  a  small  pink  slip  of 
note-pai)er  threateningly.  ".\  letter  in  her  own  hand,  begin- 
ning 'My  Hwii  Orlando,'  and  now,  as  soon  as  I  find  who  the 
fellow  is,  I'll  start  a  counter  suit — what's  the  matter.  Jay?" 

I'or  his  friend  had  choked  alarmingly,  and  now  sat  up 
among  his  pillows,  regarding  the  clothes  hamper,  which  was 
swaying  violently  to  and  fro  in  a  very,  odd  manner  indeed. 
Luckily,  Weems  was  too  full  of  his  own  grievance  to  notice. 
"Yes,  sir,"  he  declared,  violently,  "I'm  on  the  track  of  Orlando 

right  now.  and  when   1   tind  him "     He  brought  his  fist 

down  on  the  lid  of  the  hamper  by  way  of  emphasis. 

"Wing!"  called  Jay,  faintly,  "Wing  Chow!"  And  as  the 
Chinaman  api)eared  sleepily  in  the  doorway  he  pointed  to  the 
hamper.  "Take  the  laundry  basket  out  into  the  other  room. 
The  man  will  be  here  for  it  tomorrow  morning,  and  it's  always 
well  to  he  forehanded.  Take  it  out !  And  keep  it  out — dont 
let  it  get  back  in  here !" 

Doctors  FIcNner  and  W'idner  wore  a  distinctly  worried  look 
as  they  entered  the  sick  chamber  the  next  morning  and  silently 
laid  upon  the  bed  a  court  order  that  Dr.  Macklyn,  the  prominent 
physician,  should  be  allowed  to  examine  one  Reginald  Jay  on 
behalf  of  .Mrs.  Constance  Weems,  who  claimed  that  he  was 
not  sick  enough  to  claim  exemption  from  testifying  in  her 
divorce  suit. 
"There's   just   one   thing  to   be   done,"    Flexner   observed, 

gloomily,  to  Widner,   across  the  |>rone   form   of   the  patient, 
"and  we'll  have  to  do  it  or  go  to  jail." 

"Certainly.  "  agreed  his  co-i)ractitioner,  "and  the  sooner  the 

better.     That  Macklyn  may  be  here  at  any  moment." 

They  then  both  regarded  Jay  with  an  expression  that  caused 

lively  foreboding  in  that  gentleman's  mind.  "What  do  you  mean?" 

he  asked  irritably. 
"Which    would    you 

prefer  to  have?"  h'lex- 

ner    inquired,    as    he 

opened     his    case,     re- 
moved  several    small 

vials  and  a  hypodermic 

needle   and   held   them 

one  after  the  other,  to 

the    light.      "Now,    we 

can  give  you  a  beauti-

able!" 
"I'll  be  da ''  Jay 

began,  but  the  appear- 
ance of  Nurse  Duncan 

changed    the    expletive 

to  "switched."   She  was 

bearing  the  breakfast 

tray    and    looked 

puzzled. 

"Dr.  Richard  Mack- 
lyn    is    outside,"     she 

said;     "what    can    he 

want  '    Do  vou  know  ?" 


"Then  you've  got  a  case 
for  life" — he  kist  her — 
"for  I  have  the  best 
medical  authority  that 
mv    case    is    incurable  I"

The  two  pseudo  doctors  collapsed  with  two  groans  onto  two 
chairs,  while  the  invalid  showed  strongly  marked  symptoms  of 
getting  out  of  bed,  but  sank  back  on  second  thought  upon  his 
pillows,  running  his  fingers  distractedly  thru  his  hair.  "Oh, 
we  know,  all  right !"  he  said,  dismally.  "He  wants  to  prove 
I'm  faking  sickness  so  he  can  send  these  fellows  here  to  jail 
and  marry  me  off  to  Con — to  Mrs.  Weems.  Now,  I  wouldn't 
care  if  it  meant  jail  for  me,  but — the  other!  And  she'll  marry 
me  sure  as  fate  if  she  gets  her  divorce  ..." 

"Never !"  cried  Nurse  Durant.  These  nurses  have  such  a 
wonderful  devotion  to  their  duty !  She  set  down  the  tray  be- 
side the  bed.  gave  her  hair  a  touch  at  the  mirror  and  sailed  out 
of  the  room  militantly,  returning  in  a  moment  with  a  dis- 
agreeable-looking man,  carrying  a  battered  medicine  case  and 
scowling  over  thick-lensed  spectacles. 

"Here  is  the  patient.  Dr.  Macklyn,"  she  said  sweetly,  "and 
these  are  the  attending  doctors.  Any  questions  you  may  want

finally  |(ives  up  his  life  in  a  battle  with 
natives,  and  the.  waster,  stirred  by  his 
ideals  and  religious  faith,  becomes  re- 
generated in  the  love  of  the  island  maid. 

This  clash  of  untrammeled  passions 
and  age-old  conventions  is  not  new,  of 
course,  but  at  least  we  expected  Griffith 
to  weave  it  into  a  human  fabric.  But 
"The  Idol  Dancer"  never  approaches 
reality  anywhere  and  is  merely  bald 
melodrama  working  up  to  the  inevitable 
Griffith  cha.se,  this  time  a  boatload  of 
natives,  led  by  the  beachcomber,  racing 
back  to  the  village  in  order  to  save  it 
from  headhunters.  These  savages,  by 
the  way,  live  up  to  Griffith  tradition  by 
spending  hours  battering  away  at  the 
missionary's  door. 

Clarine  Seymour  is  the  island  girl 
and  as  piquant  a  figure  as  ever  we  hope 
to  see  celluloided.  No  .such  half-caste 
girl  ever  e.xisted  on  a  tropical  island,  but 
why  quibble  at  reality  ?  Richard  Rar- 
thelmess  is  effective  as  the  derelict 
beachcomber,  if  rather  youthful  for  a 
waster  of  such  experiences  as  the  sub- 
titles paint.  And  Creighton  Hale  handles 
his  role  of  the  tubercular  lad  from  the 
States  very  well.  Here  and  there  are 
"Griffith  touches."  but  "The  Idol 
Dancer"  is  a  distinct  disappointment.

The  Newest  Photoplays  in  Review

\Vc  rate  the  Metro  visualization  of  Sir  (lilbert  Parker's 
"The  Right  of  Way"  as  the  best  thing  created  by  that 
organization  since  Alia  Naziniova's  unforgettable  "Revela- 
tion.'' It  is  a  tragic  story,  and  Metro  went  at  least  a  step 
in  the  right  direction  by  pre|)aring  two  endings.  One  iire- 
sents  the  novel  as  the  author  saw  it  and  the  other  offers  it 
as  motion  jjiclure  producers  imagine  audiences  demand  it. 
The  production  is  admirable  as  to  consistent  continuity  plus 
direct  and  sincere  handling.  .\nd  P.ert  Lytell  contributes 
one  of  the  best  characterizations  of  the  year  as  that  arch- 
cynic.  Charley  Steele,  .\nother  fine  bit  of  work  is  that  of

John  Barrymore's  "Dr.  Jekyll  and  Mr.  Hyde,"  (Para- 
mount), will  likely  be  an  unforgettable  thing  in  the  minds 
of  those  who  see  it.  I'or  Parrymore  makes  the  Robert 
Louis  Stevenson  creatiofi  a  ghoulish  thing  of  nightmares. 
True,  he  idealizes  Jekyll  into  a  poetic  and  melancholy 
youth  of  classic  iirofile  and  lacy  waistcoats.  Rut  his  Hyde 
is  a  terrible  being,  with  the 
most  ghastly  make-up  we 
ever  recall  seeing  in  the 
films.  Memories  of  the 
bent  and  gloating  Hyde, 
loping  thru  the  London 
fogs,  will  haunt  your 
dreams.  The  film  adajJta-

of  Stevenson,  since  all  .sorts 
of  things,  from  the  addi- 
tion of  feminine  intere.st

it.  Yet  it  is  a  finely  work-

Virginia  Brown  Faire  is 
one  of  the  four  winners  of 
the  Fame  and  Fortune 
Contest  of  1919.  She  is 
now  at  Universal  City  do- 
ing special  productions 
uiyler  a  remarkable  con- 
tract which  has  five  years 
to   run 


EVERY  time  I  have  seen  Virginia 
Brown  Faire — and  I  have  seen  her 
often  and  under  many  widel)- 
varying  conditions — I  think  of  a  rose. 
Xot  of  a  deep  red  rose,  nor  of  a  white 
or  pale  yellow  rose — rather  of  a  pink 
rose,  delicate  and  fragile,  not  full 
blown,  but  in  the  bud. 

Virginia  is  the  essence  of  girlish- 
ness — still  in  her  'teens,  she  has  not  stopped  to  question  why.  She 
is  fortunate  in  having  a  mother  who  is  a  pal  and  a  father  who  takes 
his  pleasure  in  making  her  happy.  If  she  has  weighed  the  world 
it  has  not  been  to  find  it  wanting — and  yet  she  is  not  .selfish  thru  the 
things  which  have  come  to  her.  There  has  been  an  element  of  wis- 
<lom  in  the  love  which  she  has  known. 

Before  signing  her  Universal  contract  and  leaving  for  California, 
ihe  came  often  to  the  magazine  offices,  and  there  has  been  no  more 
■welcome  visitor.  Her  utter  naturalness  and  the  lack  of  any  desire 
upon  her  part  to  impress  went  so  far  as  to  impress  even  the  office- 
boy — that,  in  itself,  is  su|)er!ative.  /\nd  there  is  no  one  who  knows" 
her  who  is  not  delighted  over  her  good  fortune — there  could  be  no 
greater  test  of  sincerity  of  feeling. 

"How  did  I  feel  when  I  learnt  I  was  one  of  the  contest  winners"'" 
she  reiterated.  "Why,  very  happy.  At  first  it  seemed  too  good  to 
be  true,  and  when  Universal  offered  me  the  five  years'  contract  and 
the  generous  salary-rwell.  I  just  didn't  know  any  one  could  be  .so 
happy." 

Her  mother  was  with  her  and  she  told  me  that  Virginia  had  left 
school  this  term,  because  they  knew  she  could  not  accept  any  offer

and  keej)  uj)  with  her  class  at  school.  She 
was  in  the  first  year  at  high. 

"Virginia  will  not  give  up  her  studies, 
however,"  she  told  me.  "She  is  fond  of 
them,  in  the  first  place,  and  we  realize  thai 
the  wider  her  knowledge,  tlie  more  conver- 
sant she  is  in  different  subjects,  the  better 
her  work  will  be.  She  is  particularly  fond 
of  Frencii  and  literature,  but  there  will  be 
other  subjects  as  well.  One  of  the  first 
things  we'll  attend  to  when  we  reach  Cali- 
fornia is  securing  a  good  tutor." 

I  asked  X'irginia  if  she  liked  picture 
work. 

"I  love  it,"  she  answered,  and  I  have 
come  tc  know  that  Virginia  loves  many 
things.     .She  lo\es  dancing,  swimming  and

liovjfhack  riding— and  she  loves 
[jfrople.  Perhaps  that  is  why 
people  love  her,  for  there  is  no 
more  mutual  thing  than  love. 
Love  begets  love. 

"I  expect  it  will  be  ever  so 
much  nicer  now.  working  with 
one  company  and  knowing  just 
what  I  will  be  required  to  do 
from  day  to  day,"  she  said.  "I 
have  done  just  a  little  motion 
picture  work,  you  know — not 
very  much,  but  I  lov.^  it,  '  and  she 
smiled  a  \irginiaesque  smile. 


Vitginia  Brown  Faire  loves 
dancing,  swimining  and 
horseback  riding.  All  of 
which  comes  in  good 
stead  in  her  motion  pic- 
ture work.  Readers  of 
THE  CLASSIC  should 
watch  for  her  forthcom- 
ing Universal  appearances 


On  this  day  she  was  thinking  of  the  new  frocks 
it  would  be  necessary  to  take  to  California  with  her, 
and,  like  every  other  girl  in  her  'teens  the  world 
liver,  she  was  quite  absorbed  in  the  iiuestion. 

"I'm  having  the  ])rettiest  new  evening  dress,"  she 
said,  happily.  "It  is  maize  color,  of  chiffon  and, 
very  ■  -ile.  Do  you  think  gold  cloth  slippers  would 
be  pre. .-.est  with  it  '■■" 

I  thought  so,  and  into  my  mind  there  came  a  pic- 
ture of  Virginia  at  her  first  party  in  the  movie  cohmy  at  Hollywood.  In  her  .shy 
ittle  way  she  will  be  as  charming  as  the  most  brilliant  star — no  one  will  be  love- 
lier than  our  little  Virginia  in  her  delicate  yellow  frock,  with  her  black  curls  pinned 
upon  her  jiretty  head  and  her  skin  like  rose-tinted  ivory.  1  wish  that  I  might 
see  her. 

The  next  time  1  saw  her  the  metamor])hosis  was  quite  coni]ilete — tangibly,  of 
course:  intangibly  it  was  non-existent.  .She  has  taken  the  family  name  of  I'aire 
and  hereafter  we  will  know  her  as  \'irginia  Faire.  Her  contract  with  Universal 
had  been  sealed,  signed  and  delivered — she  stood  on  the  brink  of  stardom. 
Rut  with  it  all  she  was  the  same  little  girl  who  entered  the  contest — shy. 
modest  and  appealingly  winsome,  supremely  happy  in  honors  which  had 
come  to  her,  most  ap|ireciative  of  all  that  had  been  done  for  her,  but  entirely 
lacking  in  any  pose  or  affectation.

What  the  Fame 


WK  are  a  link  in  the  great  cli.Mn  of  die 
motion  picture  industry.  We  are  .i 
mcdinni  of  expression  between  tlie 
silxersheet,  with  all  that  lies  behind  it;  i.e., 
the  producer,  the  director,  the  scenario,  the 
star,  and  the  spectator.  Daily  the  gigantic 
force  of  the  screen  grows  in  strength  and, 
as  a  part  of  this  new  world-iiowcr.  we 
realize  its  possibilities. 

We  firmly  believe  thit  the  motion  (licture 
industry  is — as  all  great  industries  should 
he — a  field  open  to  all.  We  know  that  the 
op|iortunity  in  this  particular  field  is  greater 
than  that  of  any  other  industry  of  its  size. 
Why?  liecause  it  is  jiractically  new.  It  is 
the  youngest  of  world  industries.  It  is  the 
second  largest  and  most  powerful ! 

As  a  medium  of  expression  between  the 
silver.sheet  and  the  siiectator,  we  are  trying 
to  strengthen  the  comiecting  chain  as  much 
as  ])ossible.  Last  year  we  inaugurated  a 
Fame  and  Fortune  Contest.  /\t  the  conclu- 
sion of  this  contest  we  launched  four  win- 
ners upon  a  careersof  unlimited  possibility; 
four  young  women  who  would  otherwise 
have  never  been  given  an  opportunity  to 
show  their  talent. 

The  results  of  last  year's  contest  were  so 
unusual  as  to  make  us  decide  upon  a  re])e- 
tition  of  the  contest.  We  were  able  to 
profit  largely  by  our  experience  and  to  map

cided upon  ilie  following  ))lans  for  our  new  1920  Fame  and 
Fortune  Contest  : 

First  of  all,  the  contest  is  open  to  every  one,  male  and  female, 
the  only  limitation  heinjj  previous  professional  experience. 
Secondly,  wc  have  decided  to  produce  a  five-reel  feature 
drama,  the  scenario  for  which  has  already  been  secured,  and 
ill  which  all  the  members  of  the  final  honor  roll  and,  of  course, 
the  winners  will  take  part. 

Thirdly,  for  the  final  winners  of  the  contest,  we  shall  pro 
cuie  contracts   with   leading  motion   picture   C(>m|)anies — and 
shall  launch  each  winner  with  a  two-year  [niblicity  camiiaign, 
thru  our  three  magazines,  Tin-: 
Motion    I'ictl'ri-:    Mac.azinic, 
Till-;  Motion  Pictl'ki-:  Classic 
and  .SiiADowi.ANi). 

It  is  a  source  of  great  pleas- 
ure to  us  to  know  that  we  have 
been  the  means  of  serving  our 
readers,  as  well  ns  the  screen 
]>rofession.  This  feeling  has 
caused  us  to  back  the  1020 1'ame 
and  I'ortunc  Contest  with  a 
enthusiasm,  and  we  intend  that 
it  shall  sur))ass  in  every  way 
any  jirevious  contest  of  its  kind.

is  booming. 
The  intense

manifested 
by  votes 
and  letters 
from  Can- 
ada, South 
America, 

Australia  and  New  Zealand,  as  well  as  from  nearly  every  town 
and  city  in  America,  is  an  inspiration  to  our  editorial  offices 
and  is  blazing  the  way  for  a  greater  popularity  for  our  stars 
than  ever  before  enjoyed  by  them. 

Our  readers  are  both  intelligent  and  discerning  and,  in  the 
letters  received,  it  is  interesting  to  note  the  reasons  set  forth 
for  choosing  their  favorites.  Most  of  tlie  feminine  stars  are 
chosen  for  their  beauty,  or  because  of  a  certa'.n  appeal,  but  the 
male  characters  are  chosen  for  their  niggtd  strength  or  for 
their  fun-loving  proclivities.  With  or  wkfiout  reason,  every 
movie  fan  has  one  or  more  favorites. 

.  The  interest  is  twofold,  too,  for  not  only  does  the  reader 
have  the  opportunity  of  boosting  the  player  who  has  given 
them  the  most  happy  hours,  each  reader  also  has  the  opportu-

"  A  '*"  ^^''  ti'^'^hed  Peyton,  "the  Prince  Cliap  went  away  and 
^'\  left  the  Re-u-tiful  Princess  spinning  the  mantle  for  his 
(Ilail  Keturning  in  her  Faithful  Tower." 

Claudia's  rai)t  eyes  held  a  certain  inizzlement.  "If  he  loved 
his  He-u-tiful  Princess  so  much,"  she  said,  in  her  eight-year- 
old  treble,  "and  she  loved  her  Prince  Chap  so  much,  why  did 
he  go  away?    Peojjles  who  love  like  to  stay  close,  /  think." 

Peyton  sighed  and  shook  his 
head.  "All  around  Love,  my 
child,"  he  said,  "there  are  the 
Briers  of  Necessity.  The  Be-u- 
tiful  Princess  had  to  have  silken 
sandals  for  her  milk-white

a  cap  of  moonshine  and  star-

nor  ]>recious  stones,  and  so  he 
had  to  go  out  among  the  briers

"That's  loving  ..."  said  the  child,  in  an  awed  little  whis- 
per. "Oh,  Prince  Chap,  I  hope,  .some  day,  I  will  be  a  Princess

Peyton  leaned  over  and  kist 
her.  The  little  lovely  touches 
of  womanhood  were  becoming 
perce])tible  even  now,  he 
thought.  And  the  thought 
brought  an  ache  to  his  heart. 


Two  things  happened  to  little 
Claudia  when  she  was  eight 
and  a  half.  Two  productive 
things,  which,  in  their  effects, 
were  to  remain  with  her  and 
tinge  all  her  years.  One  was 
that  she  learnt  that  fairy  tales 
are,  almost  alyavs,  true,  kx 
any  rate,  the  fairv  story  which 
had  delighted  her  bedtime  hour 
since  first  her  mother  had 
given  her,  as  God  was  taking 
her,  to  Peyton,  was  true.    The

'S-r-^; 


At    Christmas    time    there 

came   a   box    of   toys   for 

Claudia 


Prince  Cha]i  was  her  "Daddy" 
Peyton  and  the  mythical,  golden- 
liaired  Princess  Alice  in  her 
Tower  of  I'^aithfulness  was  a 
lovely  lady  named  Alice  Travers, 
who  lived  in  a  distant  country 
called,  rather  pleasantly,  Cali- 
fornia. Tlie  lovely  lady  had  a  father  with  many  millions  and 
lived  in  a  palace  set  amonj^  showering  roses.  It  was  all  as 
beautiful  as  the  fairy  tale,  Peyton  told  her,  one  lonely  twilight 
hour  when  waiting  and  pain  had  made  him  take  the  child  as 
confidante  for  the  love  that  was  gnawing  away  his  resistance. 
But  it  wasn't  a  fairy  tale  .  .  .  Claudia  could  not  quite  ex- 
plain why,  but  it  made  it  different.  It  made  it  all  very  differ- 
ent. Suddenly,  she  didn't  want  to  hear  about  it  any  more. 
Not  any  more,  ever.  She  didn't  want  Peyton  to  be  the  Prince 
Chap  and  she  didn't  want  the  Princess  with  the  shining  hair 
to  be  the  lovely  lady  in  her  garden  of  showering  roses  in  that 
land  called  California. 

Of  course,  she  didn't  know  it,  but  with  the  merging  of  the 

fairy  tale  into  a  reality  of  pain,  jealousy  was  born  in  her  .   .   . 

The  second  thing  was  the  arrival,  in  person,  of  the  lovely 

lady.      That,   as   may   be   imagined,    was   a    most    tremendous 

happening. 

Claudia  had  been  reading  Grimm's,  quite  alone,  in  the  win- 
dow seat.  Peyton  was  out  for  the  afternoon,  but  had  promised 
to  take  her  to  sup|>er  and  the  play  later  on.  They  did  things 
like  that,  the  lonely  man  and  the  fanciful  child.  Sometimes 
some  of  the  other  sculptors  and  artists  in  the  building  went 
along.     Claudia  was  the  Queen  of  them  all.     They  had,  each 


called  "Come !  "  very  dulcetly,  too.     And  then  the  door 
swung  open   and  Claudia   had  known  at  once  that   the 


and  every  one  of  them,  known  her  beau- 
tiful mother  when,  in  the  heyday  of  her 
youth  and  beauty,  she  had  made  them 
rapturous,  artistically,  by  posing  for 
them.  They,  each  and  every  one  of  them,  accepted  her  little 
girl  as  a  sacred  trust,  even  tho  she  had  chosen  to  give  her  into 
the  specific  keeping  of  Peyton. 

It  had  been  ju.st  about  twilight.  Claudia  loved  to  read  fairy 
tales  at  twilight.  Peyton  had  very  solemnly  assured  her  that 
none  of  these  tales  could  ever,  ever  come  alive. 

There  had  come  a  rap  at  the  door,  very  gently  .   .   .  Claudia 

had     '''^^»^'^     'T'ntnia  ' 

had 

lovely  lady  was  before  her.  Her  first  instinct,  too,  was  one 
of  a  fierce  little  pain.  S'pose  and  s'])ose  the  lovely  lady  had 
come  to  take  Peyton  home  with  her  to  that  land  called  Cali- 
fornia, where,  Claudia  knew,  he  had  been  as  a  little  boy  .  .  .  .' 
S'pose  and  s'po.se  .she  should  take  him  away  from  her  .  .  .  .' 
.\  pain,  unchildlike  in  its  bitterness,  stabbed  her  .small  and 
loudly  thumping  heart. 

There  was  something  unfriendly,  almost  distrustful  in. the 
way  the  lovely  lady  came  into  the  room  and  over  to  the  win- 
dow seat,  from  which,  with  difhciilty,  Claudia  managed  to  rise 
and  bow. 

"Are  you,"  the  lady  said,  in  a  tone  as  thum|)y-sounding  a.s 
Claudia's  heart,  "are  you  .   .   .   Mr.  Peyton's  little  .    .    .  girl?" 

"Yes,"  said  the  child,  for  the  fir.st  time,  inadequate. 

The  lovely  lady  dropped  into  the  chair  Claudia  held  out 
for  her. 

"I  have  come  a  long  way,"  she  said,  "to  find  out." 

"Didn't  you  know,"  Claudia  .said,  "about  me.'" 

"I  had  heard."  the  lady  said,  "things  ..."     There  was  a

silence,  then,  "What  do  you  call  liim,  my  dear?"  she  asked. 

"Daddy,  of  course."  said  Claudia,  addinj;,  "that  is,  when  I 
dent  call  him  Prince  Chap." 

The  lady  didn't  answer,  and  Claudia  took  llie  silence  to  be 
an  invitation.  "You  .see,"  she  said,  entertainingly,  "Daddy 
tells  me  a  fairy  story,  or  he  used  to  tell  nic  a  fairy  story,  and 
it  was  all  about  a  He-u-tiful  Princess  who  sat  in  a  Tower  of 
Faithfulness  spinning  a  mantle  for  his  Glad  Returning.  He 
used  to  tell  it  to  pie  'most  every  evening,  just  about  now.  It 
helped  liini  when  he  was  sad.  Then,  one  day,  he  was  sadder 
than  ever,  and  he  told  me  that  it  wasn't  a  fairy  story  at  all. 
Tlie  Prince  Chap  was  him.self  and  the  Princess  was  .  .  ." 
Claudia  ])aused  and  caught  her  breath  .  .  .  "The  Princess  was 
make-believe."  she  .said.  It  didn't  seem  the  tiling  to  do  to  tell 
the  lady  with  the  cold  eyes  that  the  Prince  Chap  wove  the  twi- 
light with  the  bright  jewels  of  his  radiant  love  for  her.  The 
Prince  Chap,  it  came  to  Claudia,  had  been  wrong.  It  had 
been  the  wrong  sort  of  fairy  tale  . 
sort  of  Princess  .   .   .

and  hadn't  wi.'i  it  .  .  .  suspicions  nurtured  to  growth  by  her 
father,  by  her  aunt.  l>y  Helmer,  the  man  with  the  millions  who 
wanted  to  marry  her  .  .  .  .sus])icions  she  had  made  uji  her 
mind  tfi  accept  or  to  lay  into  the  dust  where  she  had  hoi)ed 
against  hope  they  might  belong.  .She  found  her  voice  and  said, 
rather  than  askcil : 

"Your  .    .   .  your  daddy  loved  your  mother,  didn't  he?'' 

"Of  course,"  said  the  child,  with  fierce  jiartisanship  she  felt 
for  the  dead  she  had  loved;  "everybody  loved  my  mother. 
Daddy  said,  often,  that  hers  was  a  face  to  'launch  a  thousand 
.shi]is  and  burn  the  topless  towers  of  lllium.'  'Course,  indeed, 
he  did  love  her." 

"Of  course  ..."  said  Alice  Travers.  Claudia  thought  she 
had  the  disagreeablest  laugh  she  had  ever  heard.  It  didn't  go 
at  all  with  a  dream  of  a  lovely  lady,  whcse  voice  should  be  as 
a  tinkling  bell. 

.\fter  the   laugh,    Peyton   came   in.      When   he 
Claudia  hid  her  small,  troubled  face  in  her  hands, 
.such    a    glory    (jii    it.      "I 
didn't  know,"  thought  the 
child,     "he     uas     waiting 
like  thill  .    .    .■' 

Then  she  heard  .Klice 
say  words  like  "suspi- 
cions" and  "honor"  anc 
"tests  for  me"  and  then 
the   word   "honor"   again. 


saw   .Mice, 
There  was 


reiterated  several  times.  It  sifted  into  her  small  intelligence 
that  the  word  honor  had,  somehow,  to  do  with  her.  More 
clearly  she  got  the  fact  that  it  had  to  do  with  Peyon's  sending 
her,  Claudia,  away.  If  he  kept  her  with  him  the  lovely  lady 
would  know  that  he  had  no  honor.  If  Claudia  stayed,  the 
lovely  lady  would  go  away  .    .   .  definitely  .    .    .   forever  .    .    . 

"You  must  accept  my  n'orrf  of  honor."  Claudia  heard  Pey- 
ton say,  his  voice  all  stiff  with  an ,  intolerable  ache;  "it  must 
be  enough  for  you,  -Mice  .    .    .  oh,  my  dear  ..." 

That  last,  thought  Claudia,  must  melt  the  ice  away  from 
the  coldest  blue  eyes,  must  warm  to  a  fierce  tenderness  the 
most  hidden  heart. 

"I  will  not  be  made  a  laughing-stock."  .^lice  was  saying, 
"for  any  living  man.  That  is  what  you  would  do  with  me. 
You  would  ha\e  me  take  to  my  bosom  the  living  token  of  your 
infidelity.     You  are  mad." 

"I  have  been,"  the  man  said;  he  added,  "dreamers  are 
always  mad,  I  guess  .  .  .  they  build  castles  made  of  hopes 
and  .sjian  the  very  heavens  with  bridges  of  their  own  tears." 

"Will  you  send  the  child  away?"  The  woman's  voice  was 
becoming  tense,  im[)atient. 

"I  will  not." 

"Do  you  love  her  better  than  you  do  me?" 

"1  love  her  better  than  this  thing  you  ask  me  to  do  for  you." 

"Then  it  is  good-by.     Forever,  you  Understand?" 

"I  understand.     You  have  made  me." 

"Very  well,     (iood-by.' 

"Good-by,  dear." 

Claudia  crept  into  his  arms,  there  on  the  old  window  seat 
where  he  had  spun  for  her  the  fabric  of  her  young  imagina- 
tion. She  closed  her  slender  little  arms  about  him  and  held 
him  in  a  \i.se.  .\fter  a  great  while,  his  tears  fell  on  her  hair 
and  hung  there,  emblematic.  ".She  didn't  care  enough, 
Claudia,"  he  said. 

"She  didn't  know  how,"  said  the  child,  and  kist  him  fiercely 
on  his  eyes,  his  hair  and  on  his  listless  hands. 

At  Christmas  time  there  came  a  box  of  toys  for  Claudia, 
gaudy  affairs,  and  a  note  for  Peyton  announcing  the  marriage 
of  .Mice  Travers  to  Robert  Helmer. 

The  years  never  elTaced  for  Claudia  the  memory  of  Peyton 


"I  will  not  be  made  a  laugh- 
ing-stock," Alice  was  saying, 
"for  any  living  man.  That 
is  what  you  would  do  with 
me.  You  would  have  me

token  of  your  infidelity.  You

Claudia  had  a  tenacious  memoiy  or  the 
memory  'of  Alice  would  never  have  per- 
si.-.ted,  because  she  was  twenty  before  she 
saw  or  ever  heard  of  her  again. 

She  was  a  very  beautiful  twenty,  too, 
with  dreams  in  her  eyes  and  tenderness  in 
her  fingertips.  She  was  so  very  beautiful, 
indeed,  and  there  were  so  many  broken 
hearts  attributed  to  her  that  gossip  began  to 
wag  -ts  finger  at  the  menage  of  Pey- 
ton and  herself,  unchaperoned.  Peyton 
instantaneously  alert, 
engaged    a    house-

keeper.  Claudia,  instanta- 
neously enraged,  protested. 
"It's  absurd!"  she 
stormed.  "I've  taken  care 
of  you  all  these  years, 
capably,  if  I  do  say  so. 
We  arc  happy  just  as  we 
are,  just  the  two  of  us,  you 
and  I.  We  never  have 
needed  another  living  soul. 
We  are  complete.  Now 
here  you  go,  blundering, 
and  destroy  tlie  whole 
thing.  You  bring  a  woman 
into  our  home  and  pay  her 
wages.  Daddy  dear,  how 
could  you  ?" 

Peyton  explained,  with 
what  discrimination  he 
could,  and  Claudia  never 
called  him  daddy  again. 

She  never  did  because 
she  never  again  fell  .the 
same  as  .she  had  before 
that  window-seat  talk  when 
Peyton  tried  to  tell  her  that 
the  little  girl  was  grown 
up,  that  he  was  not  her 
daddy,  nor  any  sort  of 
blood  relation,  and  that  the 
world  .  .  .  well,  the  world

She  understood  a  great 
many  other  things,  too.  She 
understood,  for  instance, 
the  breaking  hurt  in  Pey- 
ton's heart  the  years  had 
never  wholly  swept  away. 
She  understood  what  it 
means  when  a  woman  loves 
a  man,  or  a  man  loves  a 
w-oman,  and  there  is  no 
way  out.  She  understood 
w-hy  she  had  never  been

not  a  fairy  story  at  all, 
and  why,  when  Alice  had 
gone  away,  she  had  been 
able  to  take  the  broken 
man  into  her  arms  and 
kiss  him  and  soothe 
him  as  a  woman  might 
have  done. 

All  these  things  had 
been  possible  because 
she  had  loved  him.  Be- 
cause she  loved  him 
now.  Because  she  must 
always  love  him  so  long 
as  hfe  was  he  and  she 
was  she  and  the  world 
revolved  about  them. 
She  was  made  for  this. 

It  made  everything 
rather  different,  of 
cour.se.-  Painfully,  de- 
lightfully different.  It 
made  their  tete-a-tete 
teas  together  stolen 
paradises.  It  made 
Peyton's  occasional  calls 
elsewhere,  without  her, 
intolerable  hours.  It 
made  the  memory  of 
Alice,  still  visible  in  his 
eyes,  an  aching  dreari- 
ness ...  It  made  a 
touch  a  thrill  ...  a 
word  a  sacrament  .  .  . 
it  gave  a  fever  to  her 
veins,  flinging  a  violence 
of  roses  into  her  cheeks 
...  a  brilliance  almost 
supernatural  into  her 
eyes  .   .   . 

It  made  the  coming  of 
Alice  into  their  lives 
again  a  cup  she  could 
not  pass  and  dared  not 
drain  .    .    . 

Claudia  learnt  a  great 
deal  about  love  after  the 
meeting  with  Alice.  She 
learnt  that  part  of  love 
which  is  renunciation. 
She. grew  so  greatly  that 
she  could  find  peace  in 

the  thought   of   Peyton   winning  his   peace   at   last   after   liis 
.suffering  years. 

The  night  after  their  meeting  Peyton  and  Alice  took  a  long 
stroll.  They  were  at  a  summer  hotel,  and  Peyton  told  Claudia 
not  to  wait  up  for  them.  She  didn't,  but  she  waited  in  bed 
with  a  heart  as  cold  as  ice  until  their  footsteps  and  their  whis- 
pered good-nights  sent  the  hot  tears  flooding  down  her  face. 

"Prince  Chap,"  she  murmured  in  the  honeyed  darkness, 
"please  let  me  be  glad  when  you  are  glad  .  .  .  you  have  been 
sorry  like  this  so  long  .  .  .  and  I  have  been  sorry  like  this 
only  for  a  little,  little  time.  You  have  borne  it,  and  so  will  I. 
But  oh.  my  darling,  if  it  could  have  been  me  .  .  .  if  it  could 
have  been  me  .   .   ." 

The  next  morning,  at  the  breakfast-table,  Peyton  told  her 
all  about  it.  It  was  a  habit  of  theirs  to  tell  each  other  every- 
thing. The  habit  had  precluded,  all  their  lives  together,  any 
sort    of   shred   of    misunderstanding    arising    between    them. 

(Fifty-ieven) 


"It  has  been  a  long,  long 
path  of  moonbeams, 
Prince  Chap,  and  most  of 
the  time  it  has  seemed  to 
waver  and  shift  .  .  but 
you  have  come  .  .  .  safe- 
ly   ...    at   last" 


There  was,  there  had  always 
been,  only  glad,  confident  mr-rn- 
ing  in  their  mutual  tie. 

"Alice  is  a  widow,"  Peyton 
said;  "she  has  been  for  nearly 
five  years.  I  .  .  .  you  see. 
Claudia  honey,  it  has  been  a  long 
while  with  both  of  us.  Flames 
abate,  even  such  a  flame  as  there  was  between  us 
.Mice  and  1,  that  there  could  be  no  one  thing  in  all  the  world 
so  fascinating  as  to  set  up  those  ashes,  revive  that  flame,  make 
those  dear  dead  dreams  live,  lovely  things  again.  We  are 
going  to  try  together  to  win  back  our  youth,  the  love  of  our 
youth." 

"It  would  be  beautiful,"  said  Claudia;  "you

YOU  gesture  freely  as  you  talk  to

sions? 

Men  are  especially  sensitive  to  little  defi- 
ciencies in  a  woman's  appearance.  Many 
men  habitually  judge  a  woman  by  the 


trouble.  The  skin  about  the  nail  is  sure 
to  grow  tough,  uneven,  to  cause  rough- 
ness, hangnails.  When  you  cut  the  over- 
grown cuticle,  you  inevitably  cut  the  live 
skin.  As  it  heals,  the  skin  is  left  thick 
and  ragged.  There  is  danger  also  of  in- 
juring the  sensitive  nail  root,  which  is 
only  one-twelfth  inch  below  the  surface. 

It  is  possible  to  keep  the  cuticle  thin, 
smooth,  evenly  shaped  without  cutting 
it.  Your  hands  and  nails  can  be  so 
lovely  you  will  be  proud  to  have  them 
noticed. 

Cutex  will  soften  the  cuticle  and  keep 
it  in  good  condition— -it  will  dry  up  the . 


hangnails  and  rough  places.  In  a  very 
short  time  you  will  find  that  your  nails 
are  as  lovely  as  you  have  always  wished.

The  Pride  of 


the  Anzacs 


By   ELIZABETH 


AN  N  r.-iTi;  Ki;i.i,i:kman 
said  she  will  never, 
s(i  long  as  she  lives, 
(,'et  over  her  fear  of  pov- 
erty. She  toUl  mc  this 
one  afternoon  as  we  sat 
in  comfortable  rockinj;- 
chairs  on  the  lawn  in  front 
of  a  big,  typicall)  Calf- 
fiirniaii  house  in  South 
Pasadena  that  she  has 
rented  for  the  season. 
She  took  this  house  l)e- 
cause,  with  its  broad 
lawn  and  orange  and 
lemon  groves,  and  situ- 
ated as  it  is  on  the  top  of 
a  hill  from  which  she  can 
see  miles  of  ojien  country, 
it  is  as  far  removed  from 
the  atmos|)here  of  the  the- 
ater as  tho  it  were  in  a 
different  world, 

"I  remember  one  period 
in    London,    when    1    was 
trying  to  get  my  lirst  en- 
gagement."  she   said,  and 
you    would    have    guessed 
from  her  e.Npression   that 
distance    has    not    greatly 
softened    the    memory, 
"My  father  had  heart  dis- 
ease and  we  were  desper- 
perately    I'oor.      We    got 
lodging    in    King's    Cross 
for  one  poun<l.   (five  dol- 
lars),   a    week,    which 
included  meals  for  us  both. 
My    room    was    in    a    garret, 
where  the  ceiling  was  so  low 
that    I    couldn't    stand    uji 
straight.     I  u.sed  to  comb  my 
hair  kneeling  in   front  of  the 
bed.      One   thing    I    have    al- 
ways   been    thankful     for    is 
that  my  father  never  saw  that 
r«om.       He     was    unable     to 
climb   the   stairs.      It    was   at 
that  time  that   1  began  to  be 
afraid    of    the    poorhouse. 
The  very   thought   of   it   was 
unbearable.     It  comes  back  to  me  now,  some- 
times, and  at  the  moment  1  am  able  to  think  of 
all  sorts  of  things  that  might  hap|)en  to  send 
me  there!     And   then,  at  other  times,   I   am 
glad  that  1  had  that  experience;  I  think  that 
it   is  a  good  thing."     Undoubtedly   she    feels 
that  this  was  the  principal  motive  jiower  that 
drove  her  on  to  success,  a  success  that   her 
father  never  lived  to  ;;ee. 

"Do  you  think  that  he  knows  about  it?''  I 
asked,  and  she  answered,  "Yes,  I  am  certain 
that  he  does."  She  paused.  "It  is  a  curious 
thing,"  she  went  on,  "I've  felt  somehow  .  .  ." 
She  finished  her  sentence  with  a  gesture  which 
clearly  meant  "that  I've  had  help." 

The  thing  that  would  impress  you  most 
about  Annette  Kellcrnian  is,  of  course,  her 
tremendous    vitality.      Her    clothes   were    de- 


Annette  Kellerman  was 
born  in  Australia  and, 
as  a  little  girl,  was  a 
cripple.  Swimming 
brought  her  back  to 
health.  When  she  first 
tried  to  make  her  liv- 
ing as  an  exhibition 
swimmer — she  almost 
starved  to  death

signed  for  comfort  and 
gave  no  least  hint  of  i)er- 
fect  figure ;  a  figure  which 
has  rejieatedly  been  said 
to  be  the  most  perfect  in 
the  world  .  .  .  she  wore 
white  cotton  stockings 
and  broad-toed,  low- 
heeled  shoes.  She  has  a 
frank,  comradely  way  of 
shaking  hands.  Her  voice 
is  the  voice  of  a  sports- 
woman, hearty  and  free 
from  affectation.  There 
is  never  a  moment  in 
which  she  appears  to  be 
self-conscious  of  her 
fame. 

As  a  little  girl,  Annette 
Kellerman  was  an  almost 
hopeless  cripple.  "I  had 
to  wear  iron  braces  on 
both  my  legs,"  she  said. 
"These  extended  to  the 
hips  and  hurt  me  hor- 
ribly." In  addition  to 
this,  she  was  told  that 
there  was  very  little  hope 
for  her  ultimate  recovery.  J 
She  was  sensitive,  tinriid,  I 
above  all,  afraid  of  the 
water.  But  her  father,  a 
typical  Australian,  was 
resolved  that  she  should 
learn  to  swim,  and  she 
did,  very  slowly,  she  says, 
but  very  thoroly.  This 
was  in  Sydney,  New- 
South  Wales,  where  she  was 
born  and  spent  her  childhood. 
Little  by  little  she  felt  her 
crippled  limbs  growing  stronger 
until,  at  last,  there  came  a  day 
when  she  was  able  to  discard 
her  braces  entirely.  With  re- 
turning health  came  a  new  con- 
fidence and,  by  the  time  she 
was  thirteen  years  old,  she  be- 
came so  proficient  a  swimmer 
that  she  was  given  an  engage- 
ment at  exhibition  swimming 
with  a  salarv  of  five  |)ounds, 
($25.00),  a 'week,  which  at- 
tracted a  great  deal  of  atten- 
tion. 

Soon  she  began  making  rec- 
ords with  her  two,  five  and  ten- 
mile  swims,  and  her  family 
talked  things  over  and  decided 
that  there  would  be  more  op- 
portunity for  her  in  some  big 
city,  preferably  London.  So 
she  and  her  father  left  Sydney, 
promising  to  send  for  the  fam- 
ily with  the  first  dawn  of  pros- 
perity. lUit  for  a  while  it 
looked  as  tho  the  prosperity 
was  never  going  to  materialize.

very  lovely  concerning  a  rtrst  snnset,  a  lirst  love,  the  inconiparableness  of 
hoth  of  these.  He  might,  just  as  truly,  have  said  the  same  of  the  hrst  of  a  career, 
especially  when  that  career  is  the  silversheet  and  is  being  embarked  tipon  by  a 
young  girl  with  tawny-colored  hair,  a  gentle  manner  and  starry  eyes  There  is 
something  wlioUy  inspirational,  a  trifle  wistful  and  very  sweet  in  such  an  inception. 
There  is  so  nnich  roseate  optimism,  so  much  grave  earnestness,  so  much  of  the 
first  and  tender  fruitage  of  the  young  success.  There  is  an  atmosphere  aboiU  it 
of  a  voung  bride,  a  new  baby,  all  the  fresh  things  of  life  and  living.  There  is  so 
much  Oi  hope  and  faith.  Success,  full-blown,  has  never  that  delicate  bloom  of 
success  still  glimpsed  in  its  entirety  upon  some  dim  horizon.

who  is  also  her  best  friend,  in  their  a|>artment  on  upper 
Riverside  Drive,  of  a  child  standing,  expectant  and  delighted, 
on  tiptoes  looking  into  a  sho])  window,  marvelously  filled. 
There  was  about  her  the  unsaid  thought,  ''This  is  too  good 
to  be  true." 

What  she  really  did  say,  however,  not  once,  but  many 
times,  almost,  indeed,  the  theme  of  our  talk  was,  "People  are 
too  good  to  be  true." 

Hers  is  a  grateful  as  well  as  an  eager  little  heart.  The  sun- 
shine t)f  chivalry,  of  a  helping  hand,  of  kind  words  and  en- 
couraging praise  falls  upon  receptive  soil,  anxious  !o  give 
back  again  all  and  more  than  it  has  received. 

" F.vcrybixly  has  beep  so  kind,"  she  said.  "I  think  movie 
people  are  the  most  understanding,  the  most  open-hearted,  the 
•kindest  people  in  the  whole  world.  1  haven't  been  disap- 
pointed in  a  single  one  of  them,  nor  in  a  single  thing  about  the 
work.  1  love  every  bit  of  it.  When  I  first  began  going  to 
pictures-remember,  mother? — you  used  to  .say  that  you 
always  knew  where  to  look  for  me  after  school — In  the  near- 
est picture  house — Maurice  Costello  was  my  hero.  I  used  to 
.say  that  I  was  going  to  marry  him  when  I  grew  up.  I  never 
dreamed  in  my  wildest  drerims,  tho,  that  I  would  ever  pliy 
in  a  ])icture  with  hiin.  And  then,  just  the  other  day,  down  at 
Vitagraph,  I  did.  I  played  in  a  ])icture  with  him.  It  seerned 
aliTiost  too  good  to  be  true.  And  he  is  just  as  dear  and  nice 
as  I  thought,  courteous  and  thoughtful  and  considerate. 
Vitagraph  seems  just  like  another  home  to  me  and  all  tli'; 
Vitagraph  people  are  |ike  sort  of  an  extension  of  my  own 
family." 

"Would  vou  ever  leave?"  I  wanted  to  know,  realizing  that 
the  word  "ever"  is  a  little  word  to  the  very  young. 

Miss  Calhoun  made  a  small  dissenting  gesture.     .\  very 
clean,  real  sort  of  loyalty  is  hers.    There  is, 
one  perceives,  a  steel-trueness  both  in  the 
chiseling  of  her  fine  features  and  the  chisel- 
ing of  her  keen  young  spirit.     "I  wouldn't 
7vant  to,  I  know,"  she  said,  'and  I  certainly 
never  unll  until  I  have  proven  to  them  that 
the  faith  they  have  placed  in  me  has  been 
justified.     They  have  all  said,  in  so  many 
words,  'Go  ahead.    We  know  you  can  do  it,' 
and  I  want,  more  than  anything  else  in  the 
world,  to  show  them  that  I  can  do  it  before 
I  ever  leave,  even  if  I  ever  do  then.'' 
"How  did  it  all  begin  ?"  I  asked. 
"Accidentally,  in  a  way."  laughed  Alice.    "Mother  and  I  had  just  come 
to  New  York  from  Cleveland  and  were  looking  for  an  apartment.     We 
happened,  while  looking,  to  run  into  Frederick  A-  Thompson,  who  had 
an  apartment  he  wanted  to  lease,  or  something  of  the  sort,  in  the  very 
house  we  were  in.     While  we  were  all  talking  together  he  kept  looking 
at  me,  and  suddenly  he  said,  'You  would  screen  well,  do  you  know  thrt  ?' 
"I.  of  course,  just  gasped.     It  was  as  tho  he  had  put  his  hand  right  on 
my  secret  dream  and  dragged  it  opt  into  the  light  of  day.     I  guess  my 
eyes  told  him  better  than  my  lips  that,  of  all  the  things  in  the  world,  that 
very  thing  was  the  thing  I  wanted  most  to  do.     I  must  have  'registered,'

Confessed  Calumny 

Warner  Oland  Tells  His  Secrets  of 
Screen  Villainy 

By   TRUMAN    B.    HANDY 


THIS  is  a  series  of  confessions! 
We    who    concoct     fascinating    fripperies 
anent    the    cinematic    constellation    for    the 
daily  papers  aren't  prone  to  he  startled.     In  other 
words,  we  only  too  often  fail  to  register  a  thrill 

And,  moreover,  only  too  often  we've  heard  how 
all  bad  screen  villains — the  kind  that  pursue  the 
movie  cuties  unto  the  very  last  reel ;  the  sort  of 
men  whom  mothers  warn  their  daughters  to  stay 
away  from — are  fond  husbands  and  devoted 
daddies  to  a  baker's  dozen  of  progeny ;  how 
'Papa  Bluebeard  dotingly  prepares  the  evening  meal 
while  friend  wife  whispers  honeyed  harmonies 
into  his  ever-ready  ear.  And  all  that — i.e.,  how 
all  film  bad  men  are  home-growing  saints  in  real 
life.  It's  gotten  to  be  an  old,  old  story  and  a  sad 
tale. 

Hence.  I  hesitate  to  state  that  Warner  Oland, 
the  wickedest  of  'em  all,  is  strictly  a  home  product. 
Such  is  the  case.  Sad,  but  true.  How  very  inter- 
esting it  would  be  were  we  to  see  Mr.  Oland  sur- 
rounded by  a  den  of  vampires,  or  hatching  a  plot 
to  dig  up  his  neighbor's  favorite  rosebushes ! 
What  a  thrill  we  would  get  were 
we  to  observe  him  in  the  act  of 
choking  his  wife  or  of-  raising 
h — 11  with  his  flock  of  domestics! 
And  how  interestingly  intricate 
would  it  be  were  we  to  have 
definite  proof  that  he  were  foot- 
ing a  scheme  to  turn  his  peace- 
ful home  town,  Glendale,  into  a 
seething  hell-hole  of  anarchy! 

As  it  is,  we  are  forced  to  re- 
cord that  said  gentleman  of  the 
voracious  viciousness  was  ac- 
tually and  ostensibly  observed  to

And,  fur- 
the  rmore, 
we  shed 
large  quan- 
titles  of 
salty  tears 
as  we  announce  that  Mr.  Oland  speaks  per- 
fect English  in  a  soft.  semi-Southern  drawl. 
And  has  never  even  slapped  his  mother-in- 
law,  the  very  charming  Mrs.  .Shearn,  one  of 
those  real,  old-time,  .genuine  women  who 
have  received  advancing  years  gracefully! 

The  profession  of  wreaking  screen  havoc 
is  one  peculiar  unto  itself,  we  learn  as  we 
hold  conversation  with  him  who  gave  us 
cold  chills  when  we  saw  him  as  the  Japan- 
ese Baron  Somebody  in  "Patria."  Of 
course,  you  are  always  good  friends  with 
the  leading  lady  whom  the  script  requires 
you  to  calumnize.  And,  besides,  you  always 
feel  ashamed  of  yourself  when  you  have  to 
bind  and  gag  the  helpless  hero,  whom  you 
know  in  real  life  tn  have  a  wife  and  .seven 
children  to  support.

MOTION  PICTURE 


The  Man  Who  Killed 

{Continued  from  paqe  31) 


;ib(nit  her  the  garment,  ahnost  torn  froin 
her  body  by  the  lust  of  her  husband's 
liirelinj;.  She  read  in  his  hard,  pitiless 
ijliince  that  she  was  beaten  at  last  in  her 
nallnm,  desperate  game,  knew  that  no 
words  slie  could  say  would  save  her,  and 
yet  said  them,  with  trembling  lips  that 
strove  for  control,  with  fearful,  ago- 
nizing earnestness,  even  with  piteous, 
futile  little  efforts  to  apjieal  to  his  ])ity, 
his  old  at^'ection.  His  /-I'/y.'  .\s  well 
might  she  have  struggled  to  stop  the 
lightning  flashes  with  her  small,  naked 
hands. 

"I-xok.at  yourself!"  he  sneered,  indi- 
cating her  uncovered  limbs,  her  torn, 
disheveled  hair.  "A  likely  story !  You — " 
and  he  called  her  a  vile  name  that 
streaked  her  face  like  a  white  whip-lash. 

She  cowered  from  him,  and  from  the 
vision  of  the  future  his  words  evoked,  a 
divorced  woman,  stained  with  jiublic 
shame,  driven  out  of  her  husband's  house 
to  drift  in  dubious  and  always  more  ilu- 
bious  circles  in  provincial  towns  upon 
the  Continent,  the  butt  of  whispers,  tlie 
prey  of  adventuring  men  .    .   . 

And  suddenly  she  began  to  shriek  iri  a 
shrill,  tearing,  senseless  way.  Slie  was  a 
coi'nered  animal  thing,  liereft  of  human- 
hon'd,  save  that  her  shrieks  took  the 
form  of  words.  'Clod!  Oh,  God! 
Uont  let  him  !  Dont  let  him  !  Oh  !  Oh ! 
Please,  God !" 

He  choked  the  cries  with  great,  cruel 
hands.  "Dont  be  a  damn  fool.  There's 
no  one  to  hear  you,  no  one  that  would 
care  if  he  did " 

"And  there,"  said  a  new  voice,  in  an 
odd,  breathless  fashion,  "there's  where 
you're  mistaken,  my  friend !  I  heard, 
and  I — care.  Take  your  hands  otT  her 
or  I'll  be  delighted  to  kill  you.  you 
hound!" 

Richard  Loring  advanced  from  the 
threshold,  very  white  and  quite  ridicu- 
lou.sly  a  man,  with  his  great  shoulders 
squared,  his  hands  clenched  into  sledge- 
hammers. Sir  Archibald  made  a  mis- 
take. He  pointed  derisively  at  the  shak- 
ing figure  of  the  woman,  crouched 
against  the  wall.  He  laughed.  And 
Richard  Loring  sprang  toward  him, 
knocking  the  lamp  over  as  he  sprang. 

Clutching  her  torn  gown  aliout  her. 
Lady  Falkland  fled  from  the  pavilion 
into  the  storm,  and  thru  a  back  way  to 
the  house  and  her  own  rooms,  where  she 
fell  in  a  swoon  upon  the  floor.  And  af- 
terward, with  only  the  maid  to  watch 
over  her,  she  fought  a  hundred  desper- 
ate, delirious  fights  all  night  long. 

The  finding  of  Sir  .\rchibald  h'alk- 
land's  bruised  body  in  the  disordered 
pavilion  tlie  following  morning  set  all 
Constantinojjle  buzzing.  The  mystery 
was  not  who  could  have  wished  to  kill 
him,  but  which  one  of  the  many  wlio  had 
cause  to  wish  to  kill  him  had  finally  ac- 
complished the  deed.  It  was  Lady  Kdtth, 
distraught  over  the  ruin  of  her  plans, 
who  accused  her  rival,  the  wife  of  the 
dead  man. 


"Ask  Lady  Falkland  where  she  was!" 
she  clamored.  "Ask  the  servants  who 
saw  them  quarreling  in  the  pavilion! 
Ask  her  maid  how  her  mistress  came  in 
last  night !" 

The  obvious  absurdity  of  accusing  the 
frail  little  woman  who  lay  raving  up- 
stairs in  the  flaming  clutch  of  fever  was 
slightly  mitigated  by  the  fact  that  tho 
otherwise  greatly  bruised  and  torn,  it 
was  ])lain  that  what  had  caused  the  baro- 
.net's  death  was  the  thrust  of  a  knife 
which  was  found  beside  the  body  and 
which  Lady  Edith  instantly  identified  as 
belonging  to  the  wife.  Within  three 
hours  Lady  Falkland  had  been  publicly 
accused  of  the  murder  of  her  husband, 
and  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  she  was  too 
ill  to  be  lifted  from  her  bed,  the  trial  was 
begun  in  the  library  of  the  Falkland 
mansion. 

It  had  hardly  begun  when  a  servant 
came,  soft-footed,  to  the  side  of  the  Mar- 
shal, a  stout,  kindly,  conservative  Kng- 
lishman,  and  whispered  to  him  that  some 
one  wished  to  speak  to  him  outside.  In 
the  hall,  Richard  Loring,  haggard  with 
sleejilessness  but  dressed  immaculately 
and  very  calm,  rose  up  to  meet  him. 

"I  have  been  told,"  he  spoke,  slowly,  as 
tho  testing  each  word,  "that  Lady  Falk- 
land has  been  accused  of  the  murder  of 
her  husband.     Is  that  true?" 

The  Alarshal  nodded,  regretful  but 
tremendously  official.  "And  she  is  very 
ill,  too,  poor  lady.  But  one  mustn't  let 
pity  interfere  with  the  law.  The  trial  is 
even  now  proceeding  within,  and  the  tes- 
timony of  the  servants  seems  conclusive. 
No  doubt  she  had  cause.  I  have  heard 
stories,  really  beastly  stories,  but  what 
can  one  do?  The  law — hem — the  law 
must  be  preserved." 

"Then  you  shall  try  another  prisoner," 
Loring  said,  jaw  set  in  a  grim  line,  "for 
it  was  I  who  killed  the  degenerate  beast 
who  was  torturing  her.  That  is,  I  had 
the  honor  of  contributing  greatly  toward 
the  happy  result,  altho  it  was  a  Greater 
than  I  who  turned  his  own  knife  against 
liim  in  the  struggle.  I  refer  to  the  Lord, 
who  always  had  great  reverence  for 
women." 

The  Marshal  chewed  his  straw- 
colored  mustache  in  dire  perplexity. 
"H-m!  Most  'straordinary !  Two  mur- 
derers, and  you  say  he  was — h-m — tor- 
turing her?" 

"He  was  taunting  her  with  the  threat 
that  he  was  going  to  shaine  her  publicly 
for  the  lustful  attack  made  on  her  by  a 
man  in  his  pay."  Richard  Loring  did 
not  raise  his  voice,  but  the  low  words 
seemed  to  fill  the  hall  with  hideous 
clamor.  The  Marshal,  a  family  man 
with  two  young  daughters,  writhed  vis- 
ibly. "I  happen  to  love  the  lady.  1  have 
loved  her  for  seven  years.  But  if  1  had 
been  a  perfect  stranger,  I  could  have 
done  no  less  than  I  did,  and  still  call 
myself  a  man." 

The  Marshal  walked  the  hall  in  deep 
dejection.    "H-m  I    But  there  must  be  an 
accused.    It  is  obvious  there  must  be  an 
(Siatii-exjiht) 


CLASSIC 

iccused  Aha!"  He  actually  chuckled, 
this  absurdi" simple  creature.  "I  have  the 
idea.  There  is  a  criminal,  a  desperate 
creature  who  broke  jail  last  night  and 
was  found  drowned  in  the  Dardanelles 
this  morning.  Now  he  would  make  an 
ideal  .accused  for  us " 

On  the  narrow  ledge  of  the  tower 
parapet  Gloria,  Lady  Falkland  stood  and 
looked  out  dreamily  into  the  pure  blue 
deeps  of  the  sky.  Her  fragile  night 
draperies  floated  about  her;  a  strange, 
mysterious  smile  curved  her  white  lips. 
The  fever  was  gone,  the  horror  of  the 
night,  and  the  years  before  the  night  was 
passed  and  at  last  freedom  awaited,  and 
forgetfulness  and  peace. 

"1  shall  sleep  well,"  murmured  Lady 
Falkland.  "The  boy  will  go  back  fo 
F.nglapd  to  my  sister.  He  will  smell  the 
spring  in  Sussex.  He  will  see  the  haw- 
thorn bloom — white — like  bridal  wreaths 
— but  I  sliall  be  sleeping,  so  soundly  that 
I  think  1  shall  not  even  dream " 

She  took  a  step  toward  the  edge  of  the 
parapet.  But  before  .she  could  take 
another,  strong  arms  were  about  her, 
drawing  her  back  to  life. 

"Not  yet,  Gloria,  my  beloved!"  cried 
Richard  Loring.  "We  will  go  back  to 
England  together,  and  the  white  haw- 
thorn sliall  be  your  bridal  wreath " 

"Dick !  You  must  not  keep  me,"  she 
moaned,  tho  she  clung  to  him  with  quite 
earthly  terror,  her  overwrought  mood 
gone.  "They  accuse  me — and  I  have 
written  a  confession  so  that  they  could 
never  accuse  you.  Dear,  it  was  the  only 
way.    I  couldn't  bear — any  more " 

"That  is  all  over,"  he  told  her  gently ; 
"by  and  by  I  will  explain.  But  no  one 
accuses  either  of  us,  nor  ever  will. 
There  is  nothing  for  you  to  die  for. 
There  is  everything  for  you  to  live  for — 
Gloria !  Gloria,  listen  to  me,  my  dearest. 
Let  me  tell  you  what  there  is  to  live 
for " 

And  as  he  told  her  Death  drew  back, 
discomfited,  and  all  about  them  the  air 
was  splendid  with  the  shinings  wings  of 
Love  .   .   .

The  Mid-Day  Frolic 

(Cotitiiiucd  from  page  20) 
for  the  fir.st  time  in  a  one-piece  bathing-  more  apt  to 
suit  before  the  camera,  mother  clucks 
and  sputters  and  follows  daughter 
artmnd  the  picture  camp  with  a  belliger- 
ent and  watchful  eye.  Rut  tlie  life  she 
sees  and  the  routine  of  hard  work  is  so 
decidedly  humdrutri  that  she  promptly 
retires,  completely  at  ease  as  to  the  pit- 
falls and  snares  in  the  wake  of  a  virtuous 
flower,  satisfied  to  let  the  matron  put 
arnica  on  bruised  knees  and  to  sec  that 
tlie  wardrobe  mistress  fits  her  into  the 
requisite  low-and-behold  attire. 

The  various  "companies  making  use  of 
this  rarified  feminine  "atmosphere"  dif- 
fer in  their  handling  of  the  girls.  In  the 
first  place,  requirements  of  production 
differ.  Sennett's  beauties,  such  as  Phil- 
lis  H.aver  and  Harriet  Haivmond.  are 
the  languid,  gracile  type  of  tirl,  replete 
with  eyelashes  and  soulful  eyes.  Hamp- 
ton Del  Ruth,  when  he  selects  girls  for 
Sunshine  comedies,  never  wants  a  girl 
who  is  more  than  five  feet  five  inches  in 
height.  His  system  of  weights  a_nd

Questions  relative  to  height  and  weight 
are  the  first  asked  at  any  studio.  No  ex- 
perience is  necessary.  The  majority  of 
the  producers  prefer  to  get  girls  un- 
.  spoiled  by  any  idea  of  technique  or 
tricks.  When  a  girl  comes  to  Del  Ruth 
with  the  intimation  that  she  is  a  second 
Mary  Pickford,  he  promptly  disillusions 
her. 

P.oth  Sennett  and  Christie,  while  they 
use  girls  in  the  en.semble,  insist  upon  the 
beautv  being  brainy  enough  to  under- 
stand the  fundamentals  of  acting,  inas- 
much as  the  background  has  to  be  deco- 
rative enough  to  play  a  principal  part  in 
the  ])icture.  Phillis  Haver,  for  instance, 
could  never  have  been  the  beauty  in  "Sa- 
lome vs.  .'Shenandoah"  if  she  had  not  pos- 
sessed both  beauty  and  histrionic  ability. 
Xor  could  Marie  Prcvost  have  appeared 
in  "Yankee  ntjodle  in  P.erlin"  had  she 
not  mani|)ulaled  her  grey  matter  as  well 
as  her  shapely  legs. 

"I  got  a  girl,"  remarked  .\1  Christie, 
liroprietor  of  tlie  comedies,  "who  had  not 
a  particularly  good  figure,  but  a  very 
winsome  smile.  I  figured  that  I  could 
use  her.  We  could  cover  up  her  under- 
pinning and  play  up  her  teetli." 

Christie  jirefers  to  get  girls  with  expe- 
rience, inasmuch  As  each  damsel  of  ne- 
must    be    able    to    do 


cessitv 


a  certain 
amount  of  legitimate  dramatic  comedy. 
He  will  consider  no  girl  applicant  more 
than  five  feet  six  inches  in  height.  His 
.rirls  are  slightlv  different  from  those  at 
the  Sennett  and  Fox  studios,  because  they 
generally  play  '•dressed-iip"  parts  and  are 


appear  in  afternoon  tea- 
gowns  than  in  a  bathing-suit,  altho  one 
of  the  Christie  beauties.  Vera  Steadman, 
wears  bathing  apparel  whenever  the 
scenario  editor  can  find  a  suitable  excuse 
for  it. 

But  Vera,  too,  is  required  to  thespian- 
ize — to  use  facial  expression  as  well  as 
a  beautiful  figure  to  "put  her  over." 
Helen  Darling,  another  of  the  Christie 
fiock,  is  a  former  cafe  dancer,  chosen  for 
the.  comedies  chiefly  because  she  is  grace- 
ful and  can  walk  thru  a  door  without 
giving  the  impression  that  she's  all  left 
feet.  Dorothy  DeVore,  perhaps  the  tiniest 
girl  on  the  screen,  is  five  feet  one  inch 
tall,  a  former  singer  in  a  Los  Angeles 
cafe.  She  is  a  good  type,  because  she 
has  a  bright,  snappy  personality.  Mar- 
jorie  Payne,  on  the  other  hand,  is  taller 
and  of  more  languid  aspect.  She  is  the 
winner  of  a  national  magazine  beauty 
contest  and  has  a  wistful,  Mona  Lisa 
face.  Florence  Gilbert  was  picked  par- 
ticularly for  her  face,  as  a  type  opposite 
to  Miss  DeVore,  who  is  a  brunette.  Miss 
Gilbert  is  almost  the  fluflfy  blonde  type 
and  is  possessed  of  a  lovely  oval  face. 
Peggy  Davis,  on  the  other  hand,  is  the 
vivacious,  sprightly,  medium-sized  bru- 
nette lorelei. 

On  the  .Sunshine  lot,  Dorothy  Lee  rep- 
resents the  terpsichorean  coterie  of 
mirth-maids.  She,  like  Dorothy  DeVore, 
is  small  and  extremely  vivacious,  with  a  . 
snapf)y  personality.  Norma  Canterno,  a 
large-eyed,  beautiful  Italian  girl,  is  pos- 
sessed of  perhaps  the  most  beautiful 
shoulders  in  comedy,  while  Bessie  True, 
a  brunette  with  light-blue  eyes,  was  se- 
lected particularly  because  of  her  knees 
and  ankles.  Lillian  Hackett's  feet  are 
the  smallest  on  the  "lot,"  while  Dorothy, 
Terry's  arms,  hands  and  shoulders  are 
proclaimed  ideal. 

The  lovely,'  dreamy,  blonde  Phillis 
Haver  is  the  ideal  girl  on  the  Sennett  lot, 
cxiierts  have  testified.  Miss  Haver  has 
deep,  bahy-blue  eyes  and  lips  that  form  a 
natural  pout.  Her  arms  and  hands  are 
slender  and  her  fingers  are  tapering,  and 
her  legs  are  as  perfectly  formed  as  those 
of  a  young  child.  Marie  Prevost  is  her 
exact  ctmntertype,  with  a  live-wire, 
sprightly  manner  and  a  "mickey"  per- 
sonality that  has  proved  extremely  at- 
tractive to  thousands  of  film  "fans," 

Only  one  girl  in  10,000  can  qualify  fo;- 
the  movies'  decorative  background.  So 
says  Mack  Sennett,  the  originator  of  the 
mid-day  frolic  in  front  of  the  camera— 
the  Ziegfeld  of  the  films ! 

It  was  only  a  few  years  ago  that  Sen- 
nett conceived  his  idea  of  the  feminine 
atmosphere,  inspired  by  the  success  of 
musical  revues  thru  their  attractive 
chorus.  Bathing-suits  for  the  movie 
maids  were  the  most  natural  garb  imagi- 
nable, and  the  California  beaches  fur- 
nished exclusive,  original  locale.

How  to  Obtain  Beautiful,  Rich, 
Long,   Eyelashes   and    Brows! 

EVERY    WOMAN    should    be    the    rightful    owner    of    beautiful    eyes,    the    cssentialB    of 
which   are.   First:      Long,   rich  eyelashes:   and   Second:      Well-cared-for   eyebrows,     No 
'  matter    what    color    your    eyes    may    be, — gray,    brown    or    blue. — if    they    are    shaded 
by   thick,   silky   lashes,   and  well-shaped   brows,   their  charm   is   greatly  accentuated. 

Nowadays,  no  one  needs  to  be  the  dissatisfied  poascBSor  of  short,  thin,  uneven  brows 
■»nd  lashes:  you  can  greatly  assist  Nature  by  simply  applying  a  little  of  M.  T.'s  Eyelash 
and  Eyebrow  Beautifier  at  night.  This  scientific  preparation  nourishes  the  eyebrows  and 
eyelashes,  causing  them  to  become  gradually  thick  and  lustrous,  imparting  sparkling  ex- 
pression to  the  eyes    and  added  charm  to  the  face. 

M.  T.'s  Eyelash  and  Eyebrow  Beautifier.  which  has  been  successfully  used  by  tnous- 
ands  is  guaranteed  absolutely  harmless;  it  is  not  a  greasy,  sticky  aalve,  but  a  clean, 
nicely-perfumed  fiauid.  In  a  cut  glass  bottle  with  glass  stopper  and  applicator.  The  cut 
represents  actual  size  of  bottle.  The  active  principle  of  this  valuable  article  is  a  rare  and 
expensive  organic  concentration  which  is  unequalled  for  the  purpose  of  stimulating  and 
ttrengthening  the  particular  follicles  which  produce  rich,  dark  eyelashes.

MOTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC  ' 

Cameo  Cassinelli 

(Cnnthnicd  from  pape  .V) 
in   Chicago   lier   hcniity   ,nnd   charm   at- 
tracted tiie  notice  of  the   F.ssanay  film 
producers  ,Tnd   in  one  of  theii-   famous 
pioductions  she  made  licr  screen  dehut. 

Upon  the  comjiletion  of  her  conti'act 
with  Kssanay  she  left  the  silent  drama 
and  again  tool<  up  concert  work  as  a 
memlier  of  the  Chicnfjo  Opera  Company, 
me.inwhile  posinj;  as  ;i  model  for  paint- 
iiifjs  and  etchings  for  distinguished  for- 
eiRn  artists. 

.\fter  two  years  of  concert  work  the 
young  artiste  again  harkened  to  a  flat- 
tering call  from  the  inovies  and  returned 
to  the  screen  to  co-star  with  IC.  K.  Lin: 
coin  in  Leonce  PeiM'ct's  hig  production, 
I  "Lafayette,  We  Come."  i-'ollnwing  this 
she  was  featui'ed  in  m.nny  Capellani  ])ro- 
ductions. 

The  Italian  heauty  is  niA  keen  on  talk- 
ing ahoiit  herself.  "Why  should  1?"  she 
said.  "Does  Caruso  go  about  talking  of 
himself?  Do.  any  of  the  great  .'irtists, 
musicians,  writers,  go  about  telling  how 
wonderful  they  arc?  \o!  .\nd  they 
have  done  something  worth  talking  about 
I  have  done  nothing  but  sing  a  little — .act 
a  little — any  one  can  do  that. 

"My  music?  Yes.  It  was  born  in  me 
to  like  music,  I  loved  to  study  it,  always. 
My  music  is  a  pleasui'e,  a  pastime.  I 
■play  the  piano,  I  sing  because  I  love  it. 
It  is  true  that  I  can  sing  fourteen  of  the 
operas,  hut  I  have  .studied  and  sung  them 
since  I  was  a  child.  They  are  ju.st  a. part 
of  my  education." 

".^nd  your  hobbies — ambitions?" 

"Music!"  she  laughed. 

"I  go  to  the  opera  every  chance  I  have, 
and  study,  study,  study.  Some  day  I 
hope  to  sing  the  great  operas  in  some

".\nd  I  read — i-omance,  history,  adven- 
ture. Kspecially  I  like  D'Annunzio,  and 
one  of  my  ainbitions  is  to  screen  one  of 
his  masterpieces.  I  should  like  to  idealize 
the  Italian  type  on  the  screen — and  yes, 
I  should  like  to  go  back  to  Italy  and 
study  and  work — but  not  yet." 

Mrs.  Cassinelli  consulted  her  wrist- 
watch.  Our  party  was  over  and  we  went 
our  separate  ways,  but  with  me  there  re- 
mains a  memory  of  an  unaffected.  girlLsh 
girl  alive  with  enthusiasm  foi'  her  work 
and  all  things  beautiful,  who  is  giving  us 
thru  the  medium  of  the  screen  "gloiHous, 
golden  songs  of  silence."

place    by    ourselves    and    a    place    large 
enough  for  ordinary  comfort. 

■T  think  I  have  found  one  now.  It  is 
a  rather  attractive  house  in  the  Wilshire 
district." 

He  added  that  they  had  been  having 
much  trouble  with  their  servants.  They 
had  found  it  impossible  to  get  a  i:apabte 
one. 

Vfiu  feel  tliat  these  things  are  very 
disturbhig  to  .\lec  Francis.  He  is  un- 
doubtedly overly  sensitive  for  his  own 
happiness.  He  told  me  that  if  two  or 
three  things  go  wrong  in  succession  the 
accumulated  efifecls  will  make  him  HI  in 
spite  of  all  his  philosophy  and  his  power 
to  reason  against  it. 

Occasionally  he  would  lift  one  hand 
from  his  cane  and  make  a  short,  level, 
sidewavs  gesture,  but  for  the  most  jiart 
he  sat  very  still. 

He  told  me  a  story  of  his  first  season 
on  the  stage  which  illustrates  the  changes 
he  has  seen  take  place. 

"We  had-  only  gas  -lights  then,"  he 
said.  "One  night,  during  my  big  scene, 
some  one  noticed  that  the  lights  were  at 
half-cock  and  turned  them  all  on  full. 
l".\ery  globe  in  the  house  hurst."  He 
will  never  forget  the  panic  that  followed. 
( )f  all  the  things  that  have  happened  in 
his  eventful  life  he  apparently  remem- 
bers this  most  vividly. 

■T  want  to  go  back  to  the  stage  fin- 
just  one  more  production,"  he  said,  in 
conclusion.  His  contract  with  ( ioldwyn 
has  another  year  to  run.  "T  am  ])lanning 
to  apjiear  in  a  comedy-drama  which  I 
may  jiroduce  myself,  .\fter  that  I  will 
return  to  ])ictures." 

Which  goes  to  show  that  even  n  pio- 
neer loves  his  old  home  best,  and  there  is 
no  love  like  a  first  love  after  all.

to  ask  them  I  am  sure  they  will  be  only 
too  happy  to  answer." 

"Humph !"  Dr.  Macklyn  opened  his 
case  and  drew  forth  a  clinical  thermome- 
ter, squinted  at  it  and  shoved  it  into 
Jay's  unwilHng  mouth.  "Dont  want  an- 
swers. Want  facts.  Very  different 
things.     Humph !" 

Jay's  eyes  sent  out  an  agonized  S.  O.  S. 
over  the  glass  tube,  and  the  nurse  an- 
swered it  by  slipping  a  piece  of  ice  from 
the  tumbler  on  the  tray  between  his  lips 
as  she  stooped  to  smoath  the  pillow.  The 
doctor  removed  the  tube,  glanced  at  it 
once  conternptuously,  once  incredulously, 
and  uttered  an  exclamation.  "My  God! 
The  man  his  no  temperature !  He  ought 
to  be  dead!" 

He  shook  the  thermometer  and  rein- 
serted it.  Again  Jay  sent  out  his  wire- 
less and  again  was  answered  when  Nurse 
Durant  slid  a  bit  of  smoking-hot  muffin 
deftly  into  his  mouth,  as  she  drew  up  the 
blankets  about  his  chin. 

"Heavens  alive!"  muttered  the  amazed 
doctor.  "It's  gone  up  to  IDS  in  two 
minutes.    This  is  terrible !" 

He  drew  out  his  stethoscope  and  ap- 
plied it  to  the  portion  of  pajama  front 
beneath  which  Jay's  heart  beat  normally 
and  in  perfect  health.  Nurse  Durant  did 
not  hesitate.  She  saw  her  duty  and  did 
it.  Stooping  over  the  doctor's  head,  she 
implanted  a  kiss  upon  Jay's  forehead ! 

"Powers  that  be!"  howled  the  doctor. 
"The  fellow's  heart  is  speeding  away  like 
an  express  train.  He  wont  last  the  day 
out.  It's  a  wonder  to  me  he's  still 
alive!" 

From  the  doorway  came  a  shrill 
scream.  "She  did  it !  I  saw  her  kiss 
him!  Oh,  Orlando!  Orlando!  You 
have  broken  my  heart !"  Constance 
Weems  wailed.  At  the  same  instant  her 
husband's  burly  form  shot  by  her  and  to 
the  bed,  where  his  brawny  hand  lifted 
the  invalid  by  the  collar-band  and  shook 
him  violently. 

"Orlando !  So  you're  Orlando !"  yelled 
John  Weems.  "Well,  what  d'you  mean 
by  making  love  to  my  wife,  eh?" 

"I  didn't  make  love  to  her !"  Jay 
gasped.  "I  wouldn't  make  love  to  her  if 
she  was  the  last  woman  on  earth !" 

This  did  not  tend  to  placate  the  infu- 
riated husband.  "You  wouldn't  ?  I'd  like 
to  know  why  not?  She's  a  woman  any 
man  would  want  to  make  love  to !  What 
do  you  mean  by  insulting  her?" 

A  soft  voice  fell  across  his  rage  like 
cool  water.  Nurse  Durant,  very  trim 
and  demure  in  her  blue  starched  uni- 
form, had  taken  one  of  Reginald  Jay's 
hands  with  the  most  charming  blush  in 
the  world.  "He  means,"  she  explained, 
"that  I've  agreed  to  see  that  he  doesn't 
make  love  to  any  other  woman,  no  mat- 
ter how  much  he'd  like  to !  Isn't  that  it, 
Reggie  dear?" 

Already  the  two  fake  doctors  had 
slipped  unostentatiously  away.  The  spe- 
cialist, scowling  ferociously  over  his 
glasses,  snapped  his  case  to  over  the 
stethoscope.   "Love-sick !   Humph  !  That 


accounts  for  the  symptoms !"  he  growled.  | 
"Some  day  some  doctor  is  going  to  win  i 
everlasting  fame  and  the  gratitude  of  his 
sex  by  inventing  an  antidote.     But  this 
case  is  incurable.    Humph!    Good-day!" 

Her  dreams  of  romance  receding, 
Constance  turned  her  glance  upon  her 
husband.  After  all,  a  husband,  even  a 
patent  clofhes  wringer  husband,  was 
preferable  to  nothing.  She  cast  herself 
into  his  arms  with  a^shrill  wail,  "John! 
John !  Have  you  corne  back  to  me,  my 
ownest  owp?" 

In  this  feminine  manner  did  she  take 
the  groun4  out  from  under  his  feet  and 
put  him  once  and  for  all  indubitably  in 
the  wrong,  abjectly  in  the  proper  mascu- 
line position  of  begging  for  forgiveness 
for  her  sins.  And  so  together  they  went 
away,  and  lived  forever  after,  but 
whether  happily  or  not  the  reader  must 
decide  on  the  grounds  and  evidence 
presented  in  this  tale. 

And  Nurse  Duncan  and  her  patient 
were  left  to, themselves. 

"Dearest,"  he  began  tentatively,  and, 
when  nothing  happened,  "Darlingest,"  he 
cried,  .raptiirously,  "you've  made  me  the 
happiest  man  in  the  world." 

"A  nurse  has  to  do  her  duty,"  said 
Nurse  Durant,  coldly,  but  it  was  notice- 
able that  she  did  not  draw  perceptibly 
away.  And  correctly  interpreting  this, 
Reginald  Jay  arose  from  his  sick-bed  and 
took  her  in  his  arms  to  the  scandal  of 
the  prim  little  cap  atop  fhe  brown  curls. 

"Then  you've  got  a  case  for  life" — he 
kist  her — "for  I  have  the  best  medical 
authority  that  my  case  is  incurable !"

You  cannot  portray  emotions  for  others 
if  you  cannot  study  and  analyze  these 
emotions.  And  you  have  to  have  some 
grey  matter  to  do  that."  Miss  Compson 
smiled  and  added,  "That's  why  I'm 
reading  furiously." 

"And  beauty — is  that  needed?"  we 
reminded. 

"Perhaps,"  responded  Miss  Compson, 
"of  a  kind." 

"If  one  had  both?"  we  insisted. 

"Gracious,"  Miss  Compson  said,  "you 
go  right  home  and  do  something  about 
that  cold." 


DOLLS 
By  Charixjtte  Becker 
I  love  them  just  as  much  today 
As  when,  a  dreamy  little  girl, 
I  decked  them  out  in  remnants  gay, 
And  proudly  smoothed  each  mussy  curl. 

And,  up  and  down  the  busy  street 
The  people  that  I  do  not  know. 

The  faces  of  the  doiis  repeat. 
In  toyshops  of  the  long  ago. 

I  long  to  take  each  lovely  one 
And  set   tliem  in   some  make-believe. 

Quaint   games,    where   they'd   have  heaps 
fun 
In  thrilling  stories  that  I'd  weave. 

And  all  the  ugly  ones  I  want 

So  very  nice  a  time  to  give. 
That  they'll   forget  the  jibes  that  taunt, 

And  (ind  how  good  life  is  to  live.

CLASSIC 

The  Human  Photoplay 

{Continued  from  page  23) 
Vidor's   vigorous    ideas   intensely   inter- 
esting. 

"The  theme,"  he  replied  promptly ;  "the 
underlying  reason  for  the  picture  being 
made.  I  try  to  look  at  a  picture  as  one, 
in  which  all  the  elements  are  well  bal- 
anced and  work  together  harmoniously, 
but  the  big  idea  must  be  there !" 

Artificiality  comes  when  there  is  no 
longer  a  fresh  and  urging  impetus,  but 
this  young  man — he  is  only  twenty-si.x — 
seems  to  have  an  inexhaustible  supply  of 
visions  which  promises  to  stimulate  his 
pictures  for  some  time  to  come. 

In  all  human  endeavor  is  the  element 
of  the  unexpected  which  comes  to  thwart 
the  best  laid  calculations ;  this,  of  course, 
creates  the  plot,  and  it  is  the  working  out 
of  these  difficulties  in  the  right  way  that 
concerns  King  Vidor. 

It  was  as  a  schoolboy  down  in  Galves- 
ton, Texas,  that  Mr.  Vidor  first  decided 
he  wanted  to  direct  motion  pictures, 
and  after  many  disappointments  and 
struggles,  during  which  he  was  learning 
much,  he  finally  reached  his  goal,  cre- 
ating a  veritable  sensation  with  his  first 
production,  "The  Turn  in  the  Road,"  and 
he  is  considered  one  of  the  principal 
possibilities  of  the  screen. 

"I  am  now  with  the  First  National,"  he 
told  me,  happily,  "and  they  are  affording 
me  a  greater  opportunity  and  more  free- 
dom than  I  have  ever  had,  and  with  my 
new  studio,  which  is  being  built,  I  hope 
to  make  my  pictures  reach  the  highest 
standard." 

A  year  ago  little  Suzanne  could  only 
gurgle  delightedly  at  me,  for  she  had 
been  a  Christmas  gift  to  the  Vidors  and 
was  but  a  few  months  old.  Now  she  is 
a  regular  chatterbox,  and  I  predict  she 
will  be  a  comedienne,  with  her  twinkling 
eyes  and  merriment.  And  she  should 
be,  for  her  pretty  mother,  Florence  Vidor, 
who  is  her  husband's  leading  woman 
in  all  his  pictures,  excels  in  emotional 
work,  and  King  Vidor  believes  there 
should  be  an  equal  amount  of  drama  and 
comedy  in  each  film. 

"Comedy,"  he  told  me,  "serves  to 
make  people  forget  their  troubles  and 
gives  them  a  chance  to  see  life  in  its  true 
perspective.  Much  of  the  worry  of  the 
world  comes  from  trying  to  plan  ahead. 
There  is  no  past,  no  future,  only  the 
glorious  present,  and  if  we  are  striving 
for  the  riqht,  all  our  needs  will  be  met  at 
the  proper  time !" 

Who  knows  but  the  name  of  King 
Vidor  will  prove  a  pivotal  one,  by  reason 
of  what  he  will  accomplish  and  of  his 
far-reaching  influence  on  the  motion  pic- 
ture art  itself!

The  Famine 

Stars  and  producers  are  searching  the  country  for  new,  workable 
motion  picture  stories.  Literary  genius  is  not  a  prime  factor.  They 
want  new  story-plots  told  in  the  language  of  the  screen.  95%  of  the 
book  material  is  unsuited  to  motion  picture  production.  Learn  how 
this  new  opportunity  can  be  mastered  more  easily  than  you  may  think. 

In  Photoplays 


5000  New  Stories  Wanted 

If  the  Motion  Picture  Industry  is  to  Survive 

(This  figure  does  not  include  material  needed  for  religious,   commercial  or   educationat  films.') 


HOW  many  times  in  the  last  few  years 
have  you   felt  that  you  could  write  a 
better  plot  for  a  story  than  some  you 
have    seen    in   the    motion   picture   theatres? 

Well,  perhaps  you  could.  At  least  there 
are  many  people  who  could.  And  producers 
want  you  to  make  the  attempt.  For  there  has 
been  a  big  change  in  motion  pictures  in  the 
last  few  years.  People  don't  go  for  the 
novelty  any  more.  They  want  to  see  a  story 
with  a  good  plot,  A  scene  with  fat  women 
rolling  down  hill  no  longer  packs  a 
theatre.  The  star  is  no  longer  able  to 
carry   a  poor   story  to  success. 

But  at  the  present  time  pro- 
ducers cannot  get  enough  good 
stories.  Over  5,000  are  needed 
each  year,  95%  of  book  material 
is  not  suited  to  the  screen.  And 
at  present  there  are  simply  not 
enough  men  and  women  writing 
for  the  screen,  even  though  in- 
credible prices  are  being  paid. 
More  must  be  trained  if  the  in- 
dustry is  to  live.  So  if  you  have 
a  spark  of  creative  imagination, 
if  you  have  any  story-ideas,  the 
opportunity  is  golden. 

Literary    Genius    Not 
Essential 

The  Palmer  Photoplay  Cor- 
poration makes  no  extravagant 
claims.  It  merely  points  to  the 
list  of  successful  photoplaywrights  it  has  de- 
veloped through  Correspondence.  People  from 
all  walks  of  life — mothers  with  children  to 
support,  ministers,  clerks,  magazine  writers 
who  failed  when  they  tried  for  the  screen.  In 
short,  we  have  demonstrated  that  anyone 
with  good  ideas  can  write  photoplays,  once 
he  learns  the  fundamental  principles. 
$2,000  for  a  Story  Not  Uncommon 

Producers  now  pay  $100  to  $500  for  a 
clever  comedy;  $250  to  $2,000  for  a  five-reel 
manuscript. 

One  of  our  students,  formerly  a  minister, 
sold  his  first  story  for  $2,000.  'The  recent 
success  of  Douglas  Fairbanks,  "His  Majesty 
the  American,"  and  the  play,  "Live  Sparks," 
in  which  J.  Warren  Kerrigan  starred,  were 
both  written  by  Palmer  students.  James 
Kendrick  of  Texas  has  sold  six  stories  since 
enrolling  less  than  a  year  ago. 

Many  of  our  members  have  taken  staff 
positions  in  studios,  four  in  one  studio  alone. 

Not  a  Tedious   Course   of   Study 

Most  of  our  successful  students  begin  to  sell 
their  photoplays  a  few  months  after  enrolling. 
For  you  start  to  work  on  your  manuscript 
almost  immediately.  We  teach  by  direct 
example. 

We  furnish  you  with  the  Palmer  Hand- 
book with  cross  references  to  scenarios  that 
have  been  produced. 

We  give  you  a  glossary  of  studio  terms  and 
phrases.    In  short,  we  bring  the  studio  to  you. 

Then  you  begin  the  real  work  with  our 
Advisory  Service  Bureau.  This  Bureau  gives 
you  personal,  constructive  criticisms  of  your

and  Investigate 

For  those  who  are  really  interested  in  this 
great  new  opportunity,  we  have  prepared 
"The  Secret  of  Successful  Photoplay  Writ- 
ing," which  lays  before  you  the  Palmer 
Course  and  service  in  greater  detail. 

If  you  have  any  story-telling  ability,  you 
owe  it  to  yourself  to  write  for  this  book. 

Remember  that  many  photoplaywrights 
have  never  written  a  line  for  periodicals. 
Literary  ability  is  not  what  is  wanted.  Pro- 
ducers want  outline  plots  written  from  a 
knowledge  of  their  specific  needs,  A  simple 
story  with  one  good  new  thought  is  enough. 

There  is  one  peculiar  thing  to  remember 
about  the  Palmer  Plan.  Unlike  any  other 
course  in  special  training,  one  single  success- 
ful effort  immediately  pays  you  for  all  your 
work. 

In  this  new  uncrowded  field  success  is  rapid. 

The  need  is  growing  greater  every  day.    Never 

were  rewards  greater  and  quicker  than  in  the 

new  art.  At  least  investigate.  Mail  the  coupon.

MOTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC 


Confessed  Calumny 

(Continued  from  page  66) 


kicked  up  such  a  cinematic  rumpus 
over  a  package  of  mere  blank  ivriting 
paper,  which  the  scenario  has  designated 
as  the  million-dollar  plans  of  an  imagi- 
nary movie  mine. 

All  this  from  Oland,  as  he  continues 
fleecing  "Toots"  for  the  leaping  dan- 
druff ! 

Mr.  Oland,  as  I  have  said,  resides  in 
the  peaceful  suburb  of  Glendale,  twenty 
minutes  by  Cadillac  (this  is  a  perfectly 
free  gratis  ad)  from  Los  Angeles.  His 
house  is  precisely  like  any  other  com- 
fortable abode,  with  a  piano,  victrola, 
hot-and-cold  running  water,  Jap  boy, 
flower-garden  and  various  other  com- 
forts of  home.  You  step  into  a  spa- 
cious sun-parlor,  and  you  are  confronted 
by  an  unfinished  oil  painting  on  an  easel. 

Does  Mr.  Oland  paint?  This  you  ask 
breathlessly. 

No,  Mr.  Oland  does  not  paint,  you 
learn,  but  Mrs.  Oland  does.  You  glance 
at  the  piano  and  note  a  ballade  of  Mous- 
sorgsky  thereon,  Another  disappoint- 
ment! Mr.  Oland  does  not  play,  neither 
does  he  sing.  It  is  Mrs.  Oland  who  is 
thusly  accomplished.  Y'ou  see  a  large- 
sized  box  of  Murads,  (another  free  ad), 
reposing  temptingly  on  a  mission  oak 
table  in  the  sun-parlor.  Still  another 
heartache,  because  you,  being  a  writer, 
are  plebeian  and  inhale  the  aroma  of  Vir- 
ginia's purest  weed,  rather  than  that  of 
Tu  rkey-on-the-H  udson . 

The  thrillingest  bit  of  dirty  work 
Oland  ever  did  on  the  screen  was  when 
he  nearly  pushed  Pearl  White  off  a  fast- 
moving  box-car.  Of  course,  the  afore- 
said box-car  wasn't  going  fast,  but  the 
camera  made  it  look  as  if  it  simply  burned 
up  the  track.  And  the  camera  box  was 
nailed  onto  the  hind  end,  some  three  feet 
below  the  level  of  the  roof.  Oland  was 
escaping,  and  the  darned  heroine  posi- 
tively insisted  upon  following  him  by 
climbing  over  the  roof  of  the  moving 
train. 

The  director  wanted  him  to  kick  her 
in  the  face — gently,  of  course,  but,  never- 
theless, to  implant  a  healthy  boot  in  the 
center  of  her  proboscis. 

"I  really  couldn't  do  that,"  Oland  con- 
fessed. "Miss  White  was  such  a  nice 
girl.  And  then  the  director  coyly  sug- 
gested that  I  step  on  her  hands  as  they 
clenched  the  roof  of  the  car.  And  I 
just  couldn't  bring  myself  to  do  that, 
either.  And  so  we  compromised  by  my 
pounding  her  lily-white  fingers  gently 
with  my  fist,  and  she,  suffering  only  the 
exquisite  agony  capable  of  screen  hero- 
ines, dropped  to  the  camera-stand  three 
feet  below !" 

And  it  was  in  "The  Witness  for  the 
Defense"  that  he  had  to  choke  Elsie 
Ferguson  I     Actually  choke  her ! 

"How  did  she  feel?"  I  inquired,  gasps 
punctuating  my  breathing  spells. 

"Oh,"  drawled  Oland,  languidly,  "she 
just  thought  of  it  as  a  dramatic  situation 
and  told  me  to  be  rough  with  her  for  the 
sake  of  art." 

"And  you  ?"  again  from  breathless  me. 


"Oh,  I'd  been  married  to  her  seven 
years  in  the  ston,',  and  while  Elsie  is  a 
charming  girl,  the  scenario  writer  in- 
sisted that  I'd  had  enough  of  her.  And 
I  choked  her  lovingly,  gloatingly.  It  was 
a  good  scene  and  we  didn't  have  to  do  a 
retake." 

"The  result?"  . 

"Miss  Ferguson  merely  had  to  retire  to 
her  dressing-room  to  again  make  up  her 
neck  so  that  we  could  continue  the  day's 
labor." 

"It's  the  first  time  in  his  life  he  ever 
mistreated  a  woman!"  Mrs.  Oland  in- 
sisted, indignant.  "The  things  they  have 
him  do !  No  wonder  he  gets  tempera- 
mental after  he's  worked  on  a  picture  for 
months." 

But  hearken !  I  haven't  told  the  half 
of  it. 

"My  pet  trick,"  added  Oland,  "when 
my  picture  prey  wont  tell  the  hiding- 
place  of  the  diamonds,  is  to  twist  his 
wrist.  Camera-man  takes  a  close-up, 
and  the  public  shudderingly  shivers, 
'Hozv  aw  fid!' 

"You  know,  I  never  really  hit  them  in 
pictures.  I  generally  plan  all  the  screen 
dirty  work,  and  tny  'adherents'  put  in  the 
actual  punches.  If  I  do  hit  them,  I'm 
ever  so  gentle.  Why  should  I  :vant, 
merely  because  I'm  the  heavy,  to  hurt 
them  ?  They  never  get  a  chance  to  come 
back  at  me,  and — well,  my  conscience 
always  fails  me." 

This  screen  villainy  is  commencing  to 
be  a  fad  with  our  subject.  He  eats  and 
sleeps  slinkingly,  slyly,  thinking  up  new 
dastardly  tricks  to  play  on  the  members 
of  his  company  on  the  morrow. 

But  what  he  wants  to  do  is  to  play  the 
part  of  a  farmer!  He  has  a  farm  in 
Massachusetts,  where,  when  possible,  he 
retires  to  rest  and  Mrs.  Oland  to  paint, 
and  both  to  collaborate  in  translating 
Strindberg,  twelve  volumes  of  which 
have  been  thus  far  anglicised  bv  the 
Olands. 

You'd  think,  from  seeing  Oland  on  the 
screen,  that  he  is  a  Japanese  and,  from 
hearing  him  talk,  that  he's  English. 
Wrong  again !  He  was  born  in  the 
northern  part  of  Sweden,  of  Swedish- 
Russian  parents.  America  claimed  him 
at  an  early  age,  but,  nevertheless,  he's 
wholeheartedly  in  love  with  the  literature 
of  Bjorkman,  Hauptmann,  Strindberg, 
Sudermann  and  other  Norsemen,  and 
when  he's  not  too  busy  villaining  you'll 
likely  find  him  working  on  English  trans- 
lations of  their  works. 

And  he  has,  for  years,  been  intensely 
interested  in  the  little-theater  movement. 
In  fact,  when  he  produced  and  played  in 
Strindberg's  "The  Father,"  his  own 
translation,  some  years  ago  at  the  now 
defunct  Berkeley  Theater,  New  York, 
the  presentation  was  the  forerunner  of 
the  art-theater  wave  in  this  country. 

Originally  he  was  to  have  been  a  grand 

opera  baritone.     Fate  later  sent  him  to 

the  Boston  School  of  Expression,  where 

he  became  interested  in  the  drama  while

comedies.  They  are  two  fine  boys,  and 
comedy  is  good  training,  for  it  teaches 
you  to  think  and  act  fast — that's  why  I 
like  it.  After  I  began  doing  heavier 
work  I  had  to  keep  slowing  down  the 
speed  all  the  time. 

"Of  course,  my  favorite  role  was  the 
Wildcat  of  Paris — I  loi'cd  her.  She  was 
a  regular  spitfire ;  laughing  or  crying, 
she  was  full  of  pep,  never  quiet  a  minute. 
Anyway,  I  like  wild  parts — ^the  wilder, 
the  better !" 

Miss  Dean  went  on  to  tell  me  about 
"The  Virgin  of  Stamboul,"  a  seven- 
reeler  by  H.  H.  Van  Loan,  which  proved 
to  be  her  romance  picture,  culminating, 
as  it  did,  in  her  marriage  to  Mr.  Oakman 
in  real  life  as  well  as  on  the  screen. 

"I  lost  pounds  making  that  picture," 
declared  the  little  star,  solemnly,  "for  we 
worked  so  hard,  and  all  night  long  many 
times.  Tod  Browning  has  directed  me 
in  nearly  all  my  pictures,  and  he  under- 
stands me  so  thoroly  that  we  have  to  do 
little  rehearsing.  That  helps  a  lot. 
Funny  how  things  happen — he  and  my 
mother  used  to  play  in  the  same  company 
on  the  stage,  and  I  have  known  him 
always. 

"My  next  picture,  'False  Colors,'  in 
which  I  play  dual  roles,  a  naughty 
French  actress  and  an  American  girl, 
will  afford  the  first  chance  I  have  had  to 
wear  gorgeous  clothes  before  the  camera, 
and  I'm  having  a  beautiful  time  design- 
ing them.  They're  mostly  of  satin — all 
shimmery  and  very  long  and  snaky! 
Cant  you  see  me  swishing  around  in 
them  ?  For  my  personal  wardrobe  I  pre- 
fer plain,  trim  suits  and  sport  togs,  and 
always  of  the  quietest  colors.  Surprising, 
isn't  it?" 

As  we  watched  the  animated  pano- 
rama of  studio  life  which  the  noon  hour 
brings,  Priscilla  confided  that  the  lure  of 
the  stage  still  holds  her  and  that  she 
never  sees  a  musical  comedy  without 
wanting  to  jump  on  the  stage  and  take 
part  in  the  singing  and  dancing. 

Of  course,  she  is  still  so  young  that 
many  new  triumphs  on  both  screen  and 
stage  await  her.  Already  several  over- 
tures have  been  made  by  big  producers  to 
induce  her  to  bring  her  fascinating  type 
of  madcap  personality  to  the  stage. 
However,  her  contract  with  Universal 
still  holds  good  and  the  present — with 
her  devoted  husband— is  absorbing  her 
thoughts,  for,  after  all,  before  theactress 
is  the  woman,  and  Priscilla  Dean  is  at  all 
times  essentially  feminine! 


HILLS 
By  Betty  Earle 

The  patient  hills  wait  also. 

I  lasso  them  with  my  loneliness ;  tho  far  away 
I  clutch  them  close  and  closer. 

A  heart  I  yield  to  them  with  human  heart- 
beats. 

I  rumple  their  leaves  to  manifold  whispers;  I 
expose  my  soul  to  their  wandering  pathways ; 
I  weave  in  shadows  the  pattern  of  my  gloom. 

Together  now  we  face  the  mourn  of  owl,  the 
wind's  low  urge,  the  solitary  star's  blue 
quietude.  . 

Yet  feel  no  loneliness;  only  a  kindred  faith. 

Because  we  wait  together.

The  Cost  of  the  Modern 
Photoplay 

{Continued  from  page  21) 
le  $30,000  mark,  and  it  frequently  slips 
p  above  $.SO,000  towards  $75,000.     But 
Dt  often. 

"Today  the  average  special  feature 
jsts  $125,000  to  $150,000  and  frequently 
luch  more.  Let  me  detail  a  produc- 
on,  using  my  'The  Heart  of  a  Fool'  as 

basis.  Place  the  original  stoiy  cost  at 
25,000.  It  required  a  cast  of  ten  able 
layers  for  eight  weeks  at  a  salary  of 
5,000  to  $6,000  weekly.  This  totalled 
bout  $55,000;  $10,000  went  to  players 
f  smaller  roles,  extras,  etc.  The  over- 
ead  costs — for  staff  executives,  camera- 
len,  etc. — ran  to  about  $2,000  for  ten 

eeks,  since  these  people  were  engaged 
or  a  longer  period  than  the  players. 
"his  then  climbed  to  $20,000.  'The 
leart  of  a  Fool'  necessitated  unusually 
laborate  interiors — $25,000  went  for  the 
uilding  of  settings,  the  renting  of  props 
nd  the  renting  of  studio  space;  $5,000 
/ent  in  furniture ;  while  the  electrical 
epartment  required  $5,000.  The  ward- 
obe  cost  $10,000,  the  two  principal 
romen  needing  unusually  lavish  gowns. 

"In  'shooting'  the  picture  we  used 
omething  like  75,000  feet  of  raw  stock. 
This  cost  $3,000.  Developing  and  print- 
ng  some  50,000  feet  of  final  positive  cost 
12,500  more.  Incidental  items,  such  as 
■diting,  making  titles  and  cutting,  ate  up 
>1,000  more.  I  have  not  added  in  my 
iwn  salary  as  director,  because  I  draw 
igainst  the  profits,  but  this  is  another  big 
tern,  running  usually  to  $20,000  or 
)30,000  for  just  an  average  man  and 
iway  up  for  the  big  directors. 

"You  can  see  for  yourself  how  the 
terns  pile  up.  'The  Heart  of  a  Fool' 
lere  runs  over  the  $160,000  mark.  I 
jredict  that  production  costs  are  going 
o  double  themselves  in  the  next  year. 
Producers  declare  this  impossible,  that 
luch  photoplays  cannot  make  money. 
But  I  know  the  reverse  to  be  true. 

"Today  a  $150,000  production  draws, 
et  us  say,  $500,000  gross.  The  middle- 
nan —  the  exchange  distributor — pulls 
Jown  half  of  the  profits.  Directors  and 
stars  are  now  organizing  in  combines 
iuch  as  the  Associated  Directors,  to  dis- 
:ribute  their  own  pictures.  With  com- 
petent handling,  these  photoplays  can 
take  in  $750,000  to  $1,000,000.  Of  that 
we  are  confident.  So  there  is  no  reason 
why  a  $250,000  or  $300,000  film  produc- 
tion isn't  feasible — and  profitable. 

"Indeed,  it  will  be  necessary.  A  good 
story  now  costs  up  to  $75,000  or  $100,- 
000.  Players'  salaries  are  steadily  mount- 
ing. Other  costs  are  advancing.  It  will 
really  cost  $300,000  to  make  a  big  picture 
very  shortly." 

Thus  has  the  once  lowly  movie  ad- 
vanced. And  only  a  few  years  ago  a  pro- 
ducer needed  only  a  camera,  a  haphazard 
story,  a  man  to  operate  the  machine  and 
a  half-dozen  actors  at  five  dollars — or 
less — a  day.

The  Pride  of  the  Anzacs  . 

(Continued  from  page  60) 

"We  were  always  poor,"  she  said, 
"and  those  days  in  London  were  terrible ! 
We  went  from  manager  to  manager,  but 
none  of  them  would  take  a  chance  on  me 
or  pay  any  attention  to  the  records  I 
had  made  in  Australia.  \Vhenever  any 
one  asked  our  address  we  used  to  avoid 
giving  it  by  saying  tliat  we  were  expect- 
ing to  move  as  soon  as  we  could  find  a 
suitable  place.  Of  course,  anything  was 
better  than  admitting  tliat  we  lived  in 
King's  Cross !" 

At  last,  when  they  had  only  one 
ha'penny  left,  she  got  her  chance.  The 
London  Dally  Mirror  offered  to  back  her 
if  she  would  enter  the  Channel  swim- 
ming contest.  It  was  explained  to  her 
tliat  she  would  have  to  remain  in  the 
water  long  enough  to  make  a  showing — 
at  least  three  hours,  and  the  longer  she 
stayed  after  that  the  more  money  she 
would  get.  She  suffered  from  nausea, 
but  whenever  she  was  tempted  to  give  up 
she  reminded  herself  that  the  longer  she 
stuck  the  more  she  would  get,  and  think- 
ing of  that  single  ha'penny,  which  w-as 
all  her  worldly  wealth,  she  remained  in 
the  water  for  six  and  a  half  hours.  (On 
another  occasion,  when  she  attempted  to 
swim  the  Channel,  she  remained  in  the 
contest  for  ten  and  a  half  hours  and  got 
three-quarters  of  the  way  across,  a  rec- 
ord for  a  woman.)  For  her  first  attempt 
she  was  given  thirty  pounds  ($150.)  But 
it  was  not  until  some  time  afterward  that 
she  began  to  make  a  steady  income.  The 
real  incentive  of  her  many  record-break- 
ing endurance  swims  was  her  very  great 
horror  of  extreme  poverty.  The  follow- 
ing year  she  and  her  father  came  to 
America,  and  she  gave  swimming  exhibi- 
tions at  White  City  Park  in  Chicago. 
They  charged  ten  cents  admission  and 
gave  fifty-five  performances  a  week. 
Her  first  vaudeville  engagement  was  at  a 
salary  of  $300  a  week.  Her  popularity 
was  so  tremendous,  however,  that  her 
salary  grew  to  $1,200  and  she  worked 
for  two  years  in  the  Keith  theaters  with- 
out a  day's  vacation.  But  she  was  de- 
nied the  joy  of  sharing  prosperity  with 
her  father  as  they  had  shared  their  pov- 
erty.    This  was  her  greatest  regret. 

At  this  point,  Mr.  Sullivan,  her  hus- 
band, came  up  to  a.sk  if  I  wouldn't  like 
to  see  the  exercise  room.  It  was  a  per- 
fect little  "g}'m,"  converted  from  a 
screened  porch  in  the  back  of  the  house, 
overlooking  the  orange  grove.  This 
"gym"  is  large  enough  and  equipped  in 
such  a  way  that  she  can  practice  her  golf 
and  tennis  strokes  with  ease.  She  con- 
tinues to  keep  in  practice  with  her  ballet 
dancing  and  tight-rope  walking ;  in  fact, 
with  evei-ything  that  serves  to  keep  her 
fit. 

After  a  conversation  with  Annette 
Kellerman  one  carries  away  an  impres- 
sion of  bulldog  tenacity  of  purpose, 
almost  awesome  in  its  intensity. 

"Tennis  means  more  to  me  right  now 
than  anything  else,"  she  said.  "I  am 
never  so  happy  as  when  the  Bundys  or 


MOTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC 

Mary  Browne  tell  me  that  I  have  played 
my  game  well." 

Tom  and  May  Sutton  Bundy,  Mary 
and  Nat  Browne  are  her  nearest  friends. 

"Isn't  it  odd,"  Annette  Kellerman  went 
on,  "how,  when  you  really  want  to  do  a 
thing,  the  importance  of  it  seems  to 
grow  and  grow  until  nothing  else  mat- 
ters at  all  ?  For  instance,  I  spent  hours 
and  hours  trying  to  learn  how  to  walk  a 
ball.  There  wasn't  any  particular  use  in 
my  knowing  how  to  walk  a  ball,  but  I 
kept  on  with  it  until  I  could  do  it  quite 
easily.  Of  course,  it  will  come  in  handy 
now." 

We  had  returned  to  our  favorite  spot 
on  the  lawn  where  the  sun  was  warmest. 

"No  more  fairy  stories  ?"  I  queried,  re- 
ferring to  her  recent  arrangement  with 
Sol  Lesser  under  which  she  will  make 
moving  pictures  with  her  own  company 
which  will  be  exploited  and  controlled  by 
him. 

"Not  for  a  while  at  least,"  she  an- 
swered. "You  know,  the  way  this  ar- 
rangment  came  about  was  that  I  made 
some  one-reel  educational  pictures  on 
how  a  woman  could  keep  healthy.  I 
showed  these  to  Mr.  Lesser  and  he'liked 
them  so  well  that  he  made  me  this  offer 
to  do  five-reel  comedy-dramas  in  which 
I  will  play  a  modern  athletic  girl.  I 
think  that  it  will  be  something  really 
new !"

The  Cost  of  the  Modern 
Photoplay 

{Continued  from  page  79) 
"The  district  between  Fifty-ninth  and 
Forty-second  streets,  wherein  lie  all  the 
big  New  York  movie  houses,  is  a  land  of 
jaded,  cynical  theatergoers,"  he  main- 
tains. "Their  opinion  isn't  worth  any- 
thing as  a  criterion  to  judge  a  photoplay's 
reception  by  the  country  at  large.  They 
care  nothing  for  the  staple  realities ;  they 
want  something  to  stir  their  blase  appe- 
tites. Hence  the  enthusiastic  reception 
of  'Broken  Blossoms'  and  the  lukewarm 
way  'The  Miracle  Man'  was  received  in 
New  York.  Producers  are  coming  to 
avoid  New  York  for  film  premieres." 

Which    we    submit    as    Mr.    Dwan's 
opinion — and  manifestly  not  our  own.

How  Every  Woman  Can  Have 
a  Winning  Personality 


Let  Me  Introduce  Myself 

DEAR  READER :  /  wish  to  tell 
you  how  to  have  a  charming, 
winning  personahty  because  all 
my  life  I  have  seen  that  xvithovit  it  any 
woman  labors  under  great  handicaps. 
Without  /lersonalitv,  it  is  almost  im- 
possible to  make  desirable  friends,  or 
get  on  in  business ;  and  yes,  often  must 
a  woman  give  up  the  man  on  whom 
her  heart  is  set  because  she  has  not 
the  power  to  attract  or  to  hold  hmi 

Duniii;  rav  career  here  and  abroad,  1 
have  nic'l  a  great  many  people  \vhom  1  Have 
been  able  to  study  under  circumstances 
wbich  have  brought  out  their  weak  or  strong 
points,  like  a  tiny  spot  on  the  lens  ot  .t 
moving  picture  machine  will  magnify  into  a 
very  large  blot  on  the  screen.  And  I  have 
seen  so  many  people,  lacking  in  personality, 
try  to  muke  a  success  of  their  plans  and  tail 
completely,  in  a  way  that  has  been  quite 
pathetic.  I  am  sure  that  you  also  are 
familiar  with  one  or  more  such  cases. 

Success  of  a  Winsome  Manner 

I  saw  innncrvus  jaUtires  that  were  so  dis- 
tressing   that    my    thoughts    could    not    help 
dwelling  upon  those  shattered  and  vain  con- 
ditions.     I    have   seen   women   of   education, 
and     culture    and    natural    beauty     actually 
fail  where  other  women  minus  such  advan- 
tages,    but     possessing     certain     secrets     of 
loveableness,   a 
certain    win- 
someness,    a 
certain     knack 
of  looking  right 
and  saying  the 
right       word 
would     get 
I  ahead      delightfully. 
Nor        were        they 
naturally        forward 
women.      Nor     were 
they    the    kind    that 
men       call       clever. 
Some    of    them,    it 
you     studied     their 
features       closely, 
were    decidedly    not 
handsome:    yet   they 
seemed     so.       They 
didn't  do  this  by  covering  their  faces  -with  cosniet- 
ics-   they   knew   the   true   means.     And   often  the 
wiiining  women    were   in   the   thirties,    forties,  or 
even  fifties.    Yet  they  "appealed."    You  know  what 
I  mean.     They  drew  others  to  them  by   a  subtle 
power  which  seemed  to  emanate  from  them    Others 
liked  to  talk  to  them  and  to  do  things  for  them.    In 
their  presence  you  felt  perfectly  at  ease— as  though 
you  had  been  good,   good   friends  for  very   long. 

French  Feminine  Charms 

The  French  women  among  m\  friends  seemed 
to  me  more  generally  endowed  with  this  ability  to 
fascinate,  than  did  my  friends  among  other  nation- 
ahties.  In  the  years  that  I  lived  in  Pans,  I  was 
amazed  to  find  that  most  of  the  women  1  met 
were  enchanting. 

"Is  it  a  part  of  the  French  character?  I  asked 
mv  friends.  ,  ,      ,  , 

"Were  you  born  that  way?"  I  would  often  ask 
some  charming  woman. 

And  they  smitingly  told  me  that  "personality." 
as  we  know  it  here  in  America,  is  an  art,  that  is 
studied  and  acquired  by  French  women  just  as 
they  would  learn  to  cook,  or  to  sing  by  cultivating 
the  voice.  Every  girl  and  wom.^n  possesses  latent 
personality.  This  includes  you.  dear  reader.  There 
are  numerous  real  secrets  for  developing  your 
personality.  In  France,  where  the  women  have  ab 
ways  outnumbered  the  men.  and  where  opportutii- 
ty  for  our  sex  is  restricted,  those  who  wish  to  win 
husbands  or  shine  in  society,  or  succeed  in  their 
careers,  have  no  choice  but  to  develop  their 
charms  in  competition  with  others. 

How  Men's  Affections  Are  Held 

Lately  the  newspapers  have  been  telling  us  that 
thousands  and  thousands  of  our  fine  young  army 
men  have  taken  French  wives.  It  was  no  surprise 
to  me.  for  I  know  how  alluring  are  the  French  girls. 
Nor  could  I  help  conceding  the  truth  in  the  asser. 


JuUettc  Fara 


You  may  have  all  those  attractive  qualities  that 
men  adore  in  women 

lion  of  a  competent  Franco-American  journalist 
that  "American  girls  are  too  provincial,  formal,  cold 
and  unresponsive  while  the  French  girls  radiate 
warmth  of  sympathy,  devotion  and  all  those 
exquisite  elements  of  the  heart  that  men  adore  in 

""/Iiid'/  who  am  successful  and  probably  known 
to  you  by  reputation  through  my  activities  on  the 
Faubourg  St.  Honore  can  tell  you  in  all  candor,  as 
one  woman  confiding  in  another,  that  these  brcnch 
secrets  of  personality  have  been  a  very  important 
factor  in  the  successes  of  mine.  But  it  is  not  my 
tendency  to  boast  of  myself,  the  Jnhelte  l-ara 
whom  I  want  you  to  feel  that  you  already  know 
as  vour  sincere  friend,  but  I  speak  ,./  YOU  and 
for'Y'OV. 

French  Secrets  of  Fascination 

Mv  continued  residence  in  France  enabled  me 
to  observe  the  ways  and  methods  of  the  women 
closely.  I  studied  and  analyzed  the  secrets  of 
lYieir  fascinating  powers  ,,,,    c    J     T  c.f 

When  1  returned  to  the  dear  old  U.  i.  ,^..1  set 
myself  at  work  putting  together  the  facts  methods, 
secrets  and  formula:  that  I  had  learned  while  in 

'of  one  thing  I  am  absolutely  con-uinced— every 
woman  who  wishes  it  may  have  a  winning  person- 
ality. 

Overcoming  Deterrent  Timidity 

/  know  I  can  take  any  girl  of  a  timid  or  over- 
modest  disposition,  one  who  lacks  self-conlidence. 
or  is  too  self-conscious  for  her  own  good,  and 
show  her  how  to  become  discreetly  and  charmingly 
daring,  perfectly  natural  and  comfortable  in  the 
presence  of  others,  I  can  show  you  how  to  bring 
out  charms  which  you  do  not  even  dream  you  possess. 

Uncouth    Boldness— or    Tactful    Audacity 

rf  you  are  an  assertive  woman,  the  kind  that 
suffers  from  too  great  '"""Jness,  I  can  show 
you  in  a  way  that  you  will  find  delightful  how  to 
be  gentle  and  unassuming,  lo  tear  away  'he  fa  sc 
fabric  of  vour  repelling  and  ungracious  personality 
and  replace  it  with  another  that  wins  and  attracts. 
By  this  method,  you  vvill  succeed,  oh  so  wel  . 
while  by  uncouthness  or  misapplied  audacity  you 
meet  with  setbacks.  , 

/  can  take  the  frati  girl  or  woman  the  listless 
one  who  usually  feels  that  the  good  things  in  life 
are  not  for  her  and  show  her  how  to  become 
vigorous  and  strong,  tingling  with  eilthusiasm  ai^d 
g<5)d  cheer  and  how  to  see  the  whole  wide  world 
full  of  splendid  things  just   for  her. 


Become  An  Attractive  Woman 

I  can  take  the  girl  or  woman  who  is 
ignorant  or  careless  of  her  appearance,  or 
the  girl  who  dresses  unbecomingly  and  instill 
in  her  a  sense  of  true  importance  of  appear- 
ance in  personality;  I  can  enlighten  her  m 
the  ways  of  women  of  the  world,  in  making 
the  most  of  their  apparel.  All  this  without 
any  extravagance;  and  I  can  show  her  how 
to  acquire  it  with  onginaHty  and  taste.  You 
realise,  of  course,  that  dressing  to  show 
yourself  to  advantage,  is  a  real  art  and  with- 
out that  knowledge  you  will  always  be 
under  a  disadvantage. 

For  Married  Women 

There  are  some  very  important  secrets 
which  married  French  women  know  that  en- 
ables them  to  hold  the  love,  .idmiration  and 
fidelity  of  their  men.  How  the  selfish  spirit 
in  a  man  is  to  be  overcome  so  ingeniously 
that  he  does  not  know  what  yon  are  accom- 
plishing until  some  day  he  awakens  to  the 
fact  that  his  character  and  his  manner  have 
undergone  a  delightful  change— that  he  is 
not  only  making  you  happy,  but  he  is  find- 
ing far  greater  pleasure  in  life  than  when  he 
was  inconsiderate.  There  are  secrets  in  my 
compilation  that  are  likely  to  change  a 
turbulent  course  of  married  life  for  one  ttiat 
is  entrancingly  ideal.  And  this  power  lies 
within  you,  my  dear  Madam. 

Acquire  Your. Life's  Victory  Now 

What  we  call  personality  is  made  up  of  a 
number  of  little  things.    It  is  not  something 
vague  and   indefinable.     Personality,   charm, 
good  looks,  winsomeness  and  success  can  be 
cultivated.     If  you  know  the  secrets,  if  you 
learn  the  rules  and  put  them  into  practice, 
you  can  be  charming,    you  can  have  an  appeal- 
ing personality.    Don't  think  it  is  impossible. 
DonH    think    you    must    be    born    that    way. 
Don't  even  think  it  ought  to  be  hard  to  acquire  it: 
because  the  secrets  of  charm  that  I  have  collated 
and  transcribed  for  you  are  more  interesting  than 
the  most  fascinating  book   you  have  ever  read. 

Once  you  have  learned  my  lessons,  they  become 
a  kind  of  second  nature  to  you.  When  you  notice 
the  improvement  in  your  appearance,  how  you  get 
on  easier  with  people,  how  your  home  nrob  eras 
seem  to  solve  themselves,  how  in  numberless  little 
ways  (and  big  ones,  too)  life  gets  to  hold  so  many 
more  prizes  for  you,  you  will  decide  to  put  more 
and  more  of  the  methods  in  practice  in  order  to 
obtain  still  more  of  life's  rewards. 

No  Fad— the  Success  of  Ages 

;  am  well  enough  known  by  the  public  not  to  be 
taken  as  advancing  some  new-fangled  fad.  All  my 
life  I  have  understood  the  value  of  plain  common 
sense  and  practical  methods.  And  what  I  have 
put  into  my  course  on  the  cultivation  of  personality 
is  just  as  practical  as  anything  can  be. 

/  could  go  on  to  tell  you  more  and  more  about 
this  trifly  remarkable  course,  but  the  space  here 
does  not  permit.  However.  I  have  put  soine  im- 
portant secrets  for  you  into  an  inspirtng  little  book 
called  "How"  that  I  want  you  to  read.  The  (jejitle- 
woman  Institute  will  send  it  to  you  entirely  free, 
postpaid,  in  a  plain  wrapper,  just  for  the  asking. 

My  advice  to  you  is  to  send  for  the  free  book 
"HOW"  if  you  want  to  gain  the  finest  of  frienda 
and  to  possess  happiness  with  contentment  thai 
will  come  to  you  as  the  result  of  a  lovely  and 
winning  personality.

MOTION  PICTURE 

Confessed  Calumny 

(Continued  from  page  76) 
studying  for  a  cliair  of  oratory.  One 
day  he  was  persuaded  to  see  E.  J.  Mor- 
gan for  "extra"  work  in  the  latter's  pro- 
duction of  Hall  Caine's  "The  Christian," 
merely  for  training  in  stage  technique. 
The  stage  manager  wanted  a  man  to  sing 
the  baritone  solo,  "Jesus  of  Nazareth," 
and  luck  would  have  it  that  Oland  could 
fill  the  bill.  Result?  A  year  on  tour 
with  "The  Christian"  company,  in  which 
he  subsequently  played  a  prominent  part. 
After  this  came  a  two-year  engagement 
with  Viola  Ailcn  in  "The  Eternal  City" 
and  repertoire,  followed  by  a  season  with 
Sothcrn  and  Marlowe  in  repertoire. 

The  next  season  saw  him  playing  Peei 
Gynt  with  Hilda  England,  the  Swedish 
actress — a  year  before  Richard  Mansfield 
appeared  in  the  celebrated  role.  Closing, 
he  went  for  a  year  with  Nazimova,  her 
second  year  in  America,  at  the  old  Bijou 
in  New  York,  in  Ibsen's  "The  Master 
builder,"  in  which  he  played  Ragnar,  the 
idealistic  youth,  and  in  "A  Doll's 
House,"  where  he  was  first  Krogstad  and 
later  the  male  lead. 

And,  a  few  weeks  ago  in  Hollywood, 
he  saw  Nazimova  for  the  first  time  in 
years  as  she  was  emerging  from  a  picture 
theater. 

"Ah,  Mr.  Oland,"  she  said,  "do  you 
remember  when  you  used  to  be  the  boy 
in  my  play?    Now  you  are  the  villain!" 

After  the  Nazimova  engagement  he 
went  to  Williams  College  to  produce 
plays  for  the  institution  and  the  Cap  and 
Bells  dramatic  society.  Which  he  did 
alternately  for  three  seasons,  meanwhile 
appearing  in  a  production  of  Edgar  Allan 
Woolf's  "House  of  the  Vampire"  and 
one  with  Helen  Ware  in  "The  Price." 

Following  the  latter  he  put  on  his  own 
production  of  "The  Father,"  and  fol- 
lowed this  by  superseding  Robert  Hil- 
liard  in  "A  Fool  There  Was"  for  two 
years.  And  ultimately  he  played  the 
villainous  chief  of  the  Okrana  in  "The 
Yellow  Ticket." 

It  was  then  pictures  claimed  him  for 
the  heavy  with  Theda  Bara  in  "Sin."  He 
did  three  more  with  her  and  others  with 
Fox,  at  length  joining  Olga  Petrova's 
company.  Other  stars  he  has  played  with 
include  Clara  Kimball  Young  and  Kitty 
Gordon  at  the  World  studio;  Mrs.  Ver- 
non Castle  in  "Patria,"  "Convict  993" 
and  "The  Mysterious  Client" ;  Pearl 
White  in  "The  Fatal  Ring"  and  "The 
Lightning  Raider" ;  Doraldina  in  "The 
Naulahka" ;  Fannie  Ward  in  "The  Yel- 
low Ticket" ;  and  Elsie  Ferguson  in  "The 
Witness  for  the  Defense"  and  "The  Ava- 
lanche." And  now  he  is  deep  in  calumny 
in  a  Pathe  serial,  "The  Third  Eye,"  of 
which  he  is  the  star. 

And  when  serialling  is  finished  and  he 
gets  a  vacation,  Oland  and  Mrs.  Oland 
will  retire  to  their  Massachusetts  farm, 
where  Mrs.  Oland  will  put  onto  canvas 
the  beauties  of  nature,  where  Warner — 
"Jack,"  as  she  calls  him — will  callous  his 
hands  chopping  wood  and  coaxing  the 
rich,  warm  milk  from  his  herd  of  good 
old  New  England  cows.

The  Home-Made  Girl 

(Continued  from  page  62) 
because  he  said  to  me,  'Come  to  the  stu- 
dio and  I'll  give  you  a  chance.'     And  I 
went  .   .   .  and  that  began  it. 

"I'm  the  most  fortunate  as  well  as  the 
happiest  girl  in  all  the  world.  No  one 
else,  it  seems  to  me,  ever  had  so  beauti- 
ful a  beginning,  so  kind  a  start.  I  only 
want  to  deserve  it,  that's  all — and  wori< 
and  work  and  work  as  hard  as  I  can.  1 
can  hardly  wait  to  get  to  the  studio  in 
the  morning,  and  I  dont  care  if  I  ever 
leave  at  night.  I  like  to  play  all  sorts  of 
roles  for  the  love  of  the  experience,  but 
I  think  the  things  I  like  to  do  most  will 
be  the  character  parts  that  go  right  into 
the  hearts  of  the  people  and  make  them 
go  away  just  a  little  bit  happier,  even  if 
they  dont  quite  know  why." 

"What  did  mother  think  of  all  this?" 
I  asked  of  the  smiling  woman,  rocking 
in  her  chair  nearby,  who  had  helped 
"Sister,"  as  she  called  her  young  daugh- 
ter, with  here  and  there  a  sympathetic  or 
a  reminiscent  mood.  There  was,  it  was 
tenderly  evident,  a  great  bond  between 
the  two. 

"There  was  a  great  deal  of  opposition 
for  Sister  at  first,"  her  mother  said ;  "no 
one  in  the  family  had  ever  done  such  a 
thing  before,  and  I  suppose  we  had  the 
prejudice  of  the  more  or  less  uninformed 
layman  against  the  stage  and  what  we 
thought  it  stood  for.  Her  brother,  too, 
was  aghast  when  he  first  saw  her  on  the 
screen.  We  hadn't  dared  to  tell  him  by 
word  of  mouth,  and  it  wasn't  until  he 
saw  her  in  'How  Could  You,  Caroline .'' 
the  first  picture  she  did,  with  Mr. 
Thompson,  that  he  knew  anything  about 
it.  He  was  outraged.  Wrote  and  said, 
in  part,  'Mother,  what  can  you  be  think- 
ing of?'  But  now,  with  the  kindness 
Alice  has  been  the  recipient  of,  and  her 
own  interest  in  her  work  and  perhaps, 
too,  his  better  understanding  of  the 
nhole,  he  has  become  a  very  ardent  and 
assiduous  fan,  even  of  Alice  herself." 

"I  think,"  interpolated  Alice,  in  her 
gentle  little  way,  "that  he  really  has  haa 
a  throw-back  to  our  kiddie  days  in  Cleve- 
land, when  we  played  theater  in  the 
garage  and  charged  the  children  of  the 
neighborhood  admission  to  watch  tis,  or 
rather  hear  us,  declaim." 

"It's  always  been  acting  with  Alice," 
said  Alice's  mother. 

Then  Alice  served  home-made  grape- 
juice  and  home-made  cookies  and  dainty 
little  cakes  and  promised,  upon  my  mani- 
fest delight  in  the  delicacies,  to  invite  me 
some  night  to  a  wholly  home-cooked  din- 
ner. Alice  is  a  home-made  girl.  One 
knows  that.  WTiat  she  gives  to  the 
world  via  the  screen  will  have  had  its 
root  in  the  sincerity  bred  of  home-life 
and  home-love,  of  a  mother  who  has 
been  first  of  all  a  comrade  and  a  friend, 
by  her  own  natural  domestic  and  womanly 
tendencies,  practical  in  their  demonstra- 
tions. 

There  is  nothing  in  her  charming  head 
now  save  these  things  of  the  work  and 
the  home  she  loves  with  a  sort  of  a  blent

BUT   YOUR    NOSE? 

IN  this  day  and  age  attention  to  your  appearance  is  an  absolute  necessity  if  you 
expect  to  make  the  most  out  of  life.  Not  only  should  you  wish  to  appear  as 
attractive  as  possible  for  your  own  self-satisfaction,  which  is  alone  well  worth 
your  efforts,  but  you  will  find  the  world  in  general  judging  you  greatly,  if  not 
wjiolly.  by  your  "looks."  therefore  it  pavs  to  "look  vour  best"  at  all  times.  PER- 
MIT NO  ONE  TO  SEE  YOU  LOOKING  OTHERWISE;  it  will  injure  your  wel- 
fare!  Upon  the  impression  you  constantly  make  rests  the  failure  or  success  of 
your  life.  Which  is  to  be  your  ultimate  destiny?  My  new  nose-shaper  "Trados" 
(Model  24)  corrects  now  ill-shaped  noses  without  operation  quickly,  safely  and  per- 
manently. Is  pleasant  and  does  not  interfere  with  one's  daily  occupation,  being 
worn  at  night.

Noses  without  cost  if  not  satisfactory.

IT  was  in  the  mystic  twi- 
light hour — just  as  the 

day  creeps  into  the 
shadows  of  the  night — 
that  I  met  Maurice  Mae- 
teriinck,  the  famous  Bel- 
gian poet-dramatist  and 
philosopher. 

After  the  formal  greet- 
ings in  the  dusky  living- 
room  we  drifted  toward 
the  open  windows,  from 
which  could  be  seen  the 
glory  of  the  sunset's 
afterglow  on  the  limitless 
expanse  of  Pacific  Ocean 
before  us.  In  the  dis- 
tance, deep  purple  shad- 
ows were  obscuring  the  rugged  outlines  of  the 
Santa  Monica  mountains  and  the  waiting  world 
seemed  poised,  breathless,  for  an  instant,  before 
letting  the  day  become  one  "with  yesterday's 
seven  thousand  years !" 

"This  .shall  be  my  inspiration,"  said  Mr. 
Maeterlinck,  in  slow,  precise  English,  spreading 
his  hands  to  take  in  the  magnificent  view.  "I 
could  never  grow  indifferent  to  such  beauty." 
And  while  I  watched  an  inner  light  suffuse  the 
calm,  perfect  features  of  the  poet,  I  wondered 
what  exquisite  vision  would  come  to  him  here. 

Mr.  Maeterlinck,  accompanied  by  his  youth- 
ful bride,  Madame  Maeterlinck,  and  their  two 
good  friends,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Henry  Russell,  of 
Monte  Carlo,  are  occupying  a  lovely  home  on 
the  Palisades  in  Santa  Monica,  fifteen  miles 
from  Los  Angeles,  during  their  stay  in  Cali- 
fornia. 

He  has  recently  signed  a  contract  with  Gold- 
wyn  Pictures  Corporation  to  write  one  original 
picture-play  a  year  for  this  company,  and  his 


The  Blue  Bird  Alights 
on  the  Silversheet 

By   MAUDE   S.    CHEATHAM 


coming  has  created  a  stir  in  the  film  colony,  for  the  Belgian 
poet  is  probably  the  most  brilliant  and  distinguished  of  the 
many  literary  lights  who  have  fallen  under  the  lure  of  the 
motion  picture. 

Before  settling  down  to  work  he  will  spend  some  time 
studying  the  cinema  art,  and  already  he  is  deeply  interested 
in  the  vast  possibilities  for  theme  development  on  the  screen. 
Genial  and  charming,  with  a  serenity  born  of  quiet  hours 
spent  in  contemplation,  he  talked  freely  regarding  his  plans, 
but  as  he  frequently  reverted  to  French  and  spoke  very 
rapidly,  I  was  often  left  far  behind  except  when  Mr.  Rus- 
sell smilingly  would  halt  the  poet's  flow  of  enthusiasm  while 
he  interpreted  the  conversation. 

When  I  asked  what  phase  of  the  picture  building  inter- 
ested him  most,  Mr.  Maeterlinck  wrinkled  his  brow  and, 
turning  to  Mr.  Russell,  inquired  the 
meaning  of  phase.  Then  followed  a 
debate  between  the  two  while  the 
word  was  fully  explained. 

Returning  to  my  question,  he  re- 
plied, "The  plot  or  story.  I  find  there 
will  have  to  be  an  entire  transposition 
of  method,  for  previously  the  author 
has  rendered  thought  thru  the  image 
or  force  of  words,  allowing  the  spec-

wear  upon  your  shoulders  the  mantle  of 
your  Glad  Returning." 

Peyton  stared  ahead  of  hhn,  and 
something  saddened  the  curve  of  his 
mouth.  "No,"  he  said,  "there  was  no 
Tower  of  Faithfulness  .  .  .  ever,  you 
see  .  .  .  and  the  returning  is  not  a  glad 
one  ...  it  is  not  even  a  returning  .  .  . 
it  is  just  a  chance  meeting  .  .  .  of  a 
woman  and  a  man  who,  very  long  ago, 
played  at  love  together  .  .  .  and,  some- 
how, lost  ..." 

"Love  never  loses,  dear,"  said  Claudia, 
in  her  little-mother  voice,  "not  when  love 
is  real.  And  if  it  isn't  real  ..."  She 
paused,  while  her  young  eyes  clouded 
over  with  an  immemorial  pain  .    .    . 

"If  it  isn't  ..."  prompted  Peyton, 
and  found  himself  thinking,  "How 
young  she  is,  how  young  and  how 
lovely  ..." 

"If  it  isn't,"  the  girl  said,  "why  then, 
it  doesn't  very  much  matter,  anyway, 
does  it?  .  .  .no  matter. how  much  it 
may  seem  to  .    .   . " 

To  Claudia,  just  at  first,  looking  on,  it 
seemed  as  tho  Alice  and  Peyton  must  be 
succeeding,  if  only  because  they  were  so 
much  together.  They  did,  too,  all  the 
things  they  must  have  done  in  the  fairy- 
tale days  .  .  .  they  danced  and  swam 
and  read  the  books  they  had  read  then 
and  talked  and  took  long,  rambling 
walks  .  .  .  and  it  seemed  to  Claudia, 
too,  just  at  the  first,  that  she  couldn't 
possibly  nor  conceivably  stand  it.  Any 
day,  now,  the  miracle  would  occur  and 
Peyton  would  come  to  her  with  his  shat- 
tered heart  all  whole  and  well  and  all  his 
dreams  come  true  within  his  eyes. 

Then,  just  a  little  later,  she  decided  to 
stay  on  and  take  care  of  him.  He  looked 
so  tired,  so  sort  of  baffled  and  wearied. 
He  never  looked  like  that,  she  knew, 
when  he  and  she  played  about  together. 
His  eyes  had  a  light  in  them,  even  over 
the  broken  pieces,  and  his  voice  had  a 
sort  of  Glad  Returning  ring  ...  it  came 
to  her,  suddenly,  that  they  were  trying, 
trying  desperately,  not  to  capture  that 
which  had  eluded  them,  but  to  revive  that 
which  was  coldly  dead,  which,  even  more, 
had  never  been  warmly  living  .  .  .  they 
were  trying  to  instill  into  a  corpse  the 
revivifying  breath  of  life,  where  life  had 
never  been  .  .  .  and  if  they  should,  each 
of  them,  know  this,  abandon  the  dream 
for  futile,  turn,  each  one,  to  face  a  new 
horizon,  why  then  .   .   . 

After  that  Claudia  determined  to  fight. 
Why  should  she  sit  by,  all  palpitant  with 
life,  while  the  bleached  bones  of  a  by- 
gone structure  struggled  wearily  for  re- 
erection?  She,  who  had  gifts  to  give 
.  .  .  largesse  .  .  .  prodigal  red  roses  .  .  . 

It  was  woman  to  woman  between 
them,  then  .  .  .  youth  fighting  precedent 
.  .  .  desires  fighting  dreams  .  .  .  and 
after  a  week  more  Alice,  rather  abruptly, 
left. 

The  morning  following  her  departure 
Peyton  breakfasted  with  Claudia.  He 
had  always  told  her  everything  and  he

A  mere  touch  will  end  it — 

So  with  corns 


A  spot  on  your  hand  is 
ended  with  a  touch  of  soap. 
You  don't  cover  it  and  keep  it. 

A  touch  of  Blue-jay  ends  a 
corn,  as  easily  and  surely. 
Then  why  pare  and  coddle 
corns,  and  let  them  stay  for 
years? 

Millions  of  people  nowa- 
days end  all  corns  in  this  way: 

They  drop  on  liquid  Blue- 
jay  or  apply  a  Blue-jay  plaster. 

The  ache  stops.  The  toe 
from  that  moment  is  comfort- 


able.   And  shortly  the  entire 
corn  loosens  and  comes  out. 

The  method  was  perfected 
inthisworld-famed  laboratory. 
It  is  gentle,  scientific,  sure.  It 
is  now  the  recognized,  the 
model  way  of  dealing  with  a 
corn. 

It  means  to  those  who  know 
it  a  lifetime  without  corns 

It  you  let  corns  spoil  happy 
hours,  you  should  learn  the 
folly  of  it.  Try  Blue-jay  tonight. 
Your  druggist  sells  it.

would,  she  knew,  tell  her  this.  After  a 
while,  feehng  his  way  carefully,  as  it 
were,  he  did  tell  her.  Mostly,  he  told 
her  what  a  fool  he  had  been.  He  had 
permitted  unrealities  to  fetter  his  foot- 
steps and  imprison  his  soul.  He  had 
bound  himself  round  with  thongs  and 
thews  and  found  them  to  be,  after  all, 
non-existent.  "You  see,"  he  said,  in 
conclusion,  "I  found  two  days  after  Alice 
had  come  that  what  you  said  some  time 
ago  was  utterly  true  .  .  .  you  and  I  have 
never  needed  another  living  soul.  We 
are  complete.  We  are,  each  unto  the 
other,  sufficient.  Only,  I  did  not  know 
that  it  was  .  .  .  love.  I  have  dwelt  so 
long  with  the  semblance  of  love  that 
I  ...  I  did  not  know.  Dear,  you  who 
have  always  mothered  me  so,  pity  my 
ignorance,  pity  my  blinded  years,  which 
have  only  been  so  many  years  of  prepa- 
ration for  this  ...  for  ...  for  you,  if 
some  day,  some  wonderful  how,  you  will 
have  me  .   .   .  Claudia  ..." 

"It  has  been  a  long,  long  path  of  moon- 
beams. Prince  Chap,"  the  girl  said,  "and 
most  of  the  time  it  has  seemed  to  waver 
and  shift  ...  and  break  ...  but  you 
have  come  .  .  .  you  have  come  .  .  . 
safely  ...  at  last  ..." 

And  then  she  kist  him^ 

A  Rose  in  the  Bud 

{Continued  from  page  47) 
The  staff  of  the  magazines  had  jour- 
neyed en  masse  to  the  Grand  Central 
Station  to  see  her  and  her  mother  off 
for  sunny  California.  It  seemed  fitting, 
somehow,  that  she  should  go  there,  for 
California  is  the  land  of  roses— it  would 
naturally  be  kind  to  this  little  rosebud. 
Friends  and  officials  of  the  Universal 
Company  were  gathered  about,  and  she 
was  showered  with  flowers,  baskets  of 
fruit  and  books  and  candy.  But  when 
"Toodles,"  her  little  white  dog,  ensconced 
in  his  traveling  basket,  set  up  a  howl, 
apparently  anything  but  pleased  at  the 
prospect  of  his  trip  across  the  continent, 
she  knelt  down  and  tried  to  soothe  him, 
quite  oblivious  of  everything  else. 

The  station  master,  who,  by  virtue  of 
being  a  movie  fan,  had  permitted  the 
party  to  go  thru  the  gates,  a  thing  ordi- 
narily tabooed,  asked  her  how  she  felt 
about  the  honors  thrust  upon  her. 

"I  love  it.  Wouldn't  you  ?"  asked  Vir- 
ginia, with  her  shy  little  smile. 

And  Mr.  Station  Master  can  probably 
be  numbered  as  her  first  fan. 

Later,  on  the  platform  of  the  train, 
they  posed  her  for  the  flashlights.  ^^ 

"Please  let  my  flowers  show,"  said 
Virginia. 

All  too  soon  came  the  familiar  sound, 
"A-1-1  A-b-o-a-r-d !" 

Slowly  the  Century  Limited  pulled  out. 
On  the  platform  stood  Virginia  and 
her  mumdear,  arm  in  arm. 

"Good-by!  Good-by!"  she  smiled, 
waving  her  tiny  white-gloved  hand. 

Virginia  had  started  on  her  journey  to 
stardom — methinks  she  will  not  find  it  a 
very  long  journey.

MOTION  PICTURE 

What  the  Fame  and  Fortune 
Contest  Means 

{Cont'mued  from  page  49) 
And  perhaps  the  most  interesting  fact 
which  we  gathered  from  the  overflow  of 
pictures  was  that  they  came  from  all 
parts  of  the  country.  .Some  from  the 
crowded  cities,  others  from  small  middle- 
western  towns  and  others  from  rural 
districts  where  the  coming  of  the  old, 
slow,  plodding  nag,  bearing  the  postman 
and  his  precious  burden  of  Uncle  Sam's 
mail,  is  watched  for  with  eagerness  and 
expectation. 

From  101  Travella  Blvd.,  East  End, 
Pittsburgh,  Pa.,  there  comes  the  portrait 
of  Thelma  Goeddel,  who  has  never  had 
any  stage  or  screen  experience  and  who 
faces  a  very  pleased  world  with  blue 
eyes,  golden-brown  hair  and  very  fair 
complexion. 

Anna  Kelly,  of  284  Clinton  Street, 
Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  is  the  possessor  of  a 
large  number  of  huge  golden  curls.  With 
fair  skin  and  dark  blue  eyes,  she  easily 
deserves  a  place  on  the  honor  roll  list. 

Chicago  has  blown  us  Hazel  D.  Reeves, 
of  3972  Ellis  Avenue,  who  has  never  had 
any  previous  stage  or  screen  experience 
and  whose  hazel  eyes  and  auburn  hair 
frame  a  face  which  'tis  not  very  diffi- 
cult to  gaze  upon. 

The  home  of  Alva  Ansley,  who  has 
played  in  amateur  plays  and  who  swims 
and  dances,  is  at  21/  Pennsylvania  Ave- 
nue, N.  W.,  Washington,  D.  C.  She 
possesses  naturally  curly  hair  of  light- 
brown,  blue  eyes  and  fair  complexion. 

A  girl  of  Manhattan  is  Kay  Bardine, 
of  1324  St.  Nicholas  Avenue,  who  has 
studied  voice  with  Mario  Salvini,  and 
who  is  a  classic  and  eccentric  dancer  of 
no  mean  talent.  With  very  fair  com- 
plexion and  dark-blue  eyes,  this  little 
blonde  is  no  mean  competitor  of  the 
Fame  and  Fortune  Contest. 

Again  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  comes  to  the 
front  with  its  allotment  of  beauty  in  the 
person  of  Gertrude  Crossraan,  of  87 
Woodruff  Avenue,  who  has  done  extra 
work  in  pictures  and  who  has  dark-grey 
eyes,  light-brown  hair  and  fair  skin. 

All  the  way  from  423  Twenty-third 
Avenue,  South,  Seattle,  Washington, 
does  America  Chedister  send  in  her  pho- 
tograph. Her  eyes  are  a  dark  grey- 
green,  which  shine  under  a  mass  of  light 
golden-brown  hair. 

The  Home-Made  Girl 

(Continued  from  page  83) 
eager  impartiality.     It  is  "mother" 
the    "Vitagraph."      These    are   the 
two  names  constantly  on  her  lips. 

She  has  her  first  doll,  too.  I  asked  her 
whether  she  played  with  it  yet.  "I  dont 
actually  play  with  her,"  she  said,  "but  I 
ove  her  just  as  I  always  did,  and  I  like 
to  see  her  in  my  room  when  I  come  home 
at  night." 

And  so  there  is  a  fund  of  tenderness, 
too,  from  which,  with  the  mellowing  of 
youth,  many  of  the  fragrant,  lovable 
things  of  the  artistry  which  is  best  may 
come.

tator's  mind  to  form  the  picture,  while 
now  the  picture  must  serve  to  interpret 
the  thought  without  words." 

"That  spiritual  quahty  that  has  always 
dominated  your  writings  —  can  it  be 
transferred  to  the  screen?"  I  questioned. 

After  studying  the  red  roses  in  a  tall 
vase  beside  him  for  a  moment,  he  said, 
"I  hope  and  believe  this  will  be  possible. 
Already  some  success  has  followed  ef- 
forts in  this  direction.  It  is  not  so  diffi- 
cult to  express  the  finer  thought  in  your 
picture  as  it  is  for  the  public  to  grasp  it. 

"The  producer  says,  we  want  a  play 
that  is  unusual,  different,  better;  then 
when  the  author  brings  it  to  him,  he 
reads  it,  shakes  his  head  and  remarks 
that  it  is  too  far  away — what  do  you 
say  ? — too  high  over  their  heads.  .So  we 
must  develop  the  thought  of  the  audience 
gradually,  step  by  step.  Therefore,  the 
first  thing  to  do  is  to  select  a  theme  that 
will  appeal  to  all.  It  may  have  a  strong 
material  side,  but  in  its  treatment  the 
spiritual  significance  must  be  retained." 

"Do  I  like  California?"  and  Mr.  Mae- 
terlinck laughed  boyishly  at  my  foolish 
question.  "How  can  I  help  it  when  I 
am  given  sttch  a  royal  welcome?  Here, 
near  the  ocean,  it  reminds  me  of  my 
home  in  Nice,  only  it  is  warmer.  Your 
season  is  perhaps  six  weeks  ahead  of 
ours. 

"Oh,  this  prohibition !  No  more  is 
there  pleasure  in  one's  meals — all  attrac- 
tion is  gone.  In  France  I  have  perhaps, 
one,  two  glasses  of  red  or  white  wine, 
not  much — but  just  enough  to  bring  joy. 
The  Latin  countries  use  light  wine  and 
beer,  and  there  is  no  harm  in  them.  The 
American  banquet  consists  only  of 
speeches  and  a  glass  of  water,  and  some- 
times I  have  gone  to  four  in  one  day — it 
is  indeed  very  sad."  Smilingly,  he 
shrugged  his  broad  shoulders. 

On  the  following  day  Maurice  Mae- 
terlinck and  his  party  visited  the  Gold- 
wyn  studio,  and  as  they  drove  thru  the 
imposing  entrance  he  declared  that  it 
made  him  think  of  a  great  exposition. 
He  was  surprised  to  find  the  studio  built 
on  such  an  artistic  as  well  as  elaborate 
scale. 

The  first  point  that  seemed  to  arrest 
the  author's  attention  as  he  watched  a 
scene  from  Rupert  Hughes'  "Scratch 
My  Back,"  in  which  Helene  Chadwick 
was  depicting  the  frenzy  of  fear  of  a 
man  who  was  threatening  her,  were  the 
strains  of  music  coming  from  an  orches- 
tra hidden  behind  the  set.  The  fine  psy- 
chology of  emotional  upbuilding  with 
the  aid  of  music,  and  also  of  certain 
colors  used  in  the  set,  interested  him 
greatly. 

Mme.  Maeterlinck,  who  looks  like  a 
fourteen-year-old  schoolgirl,  danced  about 
in  an  ecstasy  of  enthusiasm.  She  is 
hoping  to  play  in  her  husband's  new  pic- 
ture and  is  to  have  a  test  made  within  a 
few  days.  She  said,  "This  would  be  my

Come  Back  to  Your  Teeth 

All  Statements  Approved  by  High  Dental  Aittliorities 


The  Cloud  is  Due  to  Film 


When  pearly  teeth  grow  dingy  they 
are  coated  with  a  film. 

There  is  on  all  teeth  a  slimy  film, 
ever-present,  ever-forming.  It  clings 
to  teeth,  gets  between  the  teeth  and 
stays. 

Brushing  in  the  usual  way  does  not 
end  this  film.  That  is  why  so  many 
teeth  discolor  and  decay.  Most  tooth 
troubles  are  now  traced  to  film. 

That  film  is  what  discolors — not  the 
teeth.  It  is  the  basis  of  tartar.  It  holds 
food  substance  which  ferments  and 
forms  acid.  It  holds  the  acid  in  contact 
with  the  teeth  to  cause  decay. 

Millions  of  germs  breed  in  it.  They, 
with  tartar,  are  the  chief  cause  of 
pyorrhea. 

Now  We  Combat  It 

Dental  science,  after  years  of  search- 
ing, has  found  a  way  to  combat  this 
film.  Able  authorities  have  proved  this 
by  many  careful  tests.  Leading  den- 
tists all  over  America  are  now  urging 
its  adoption. 


For  home  use  the  method  is  embodiet 
in  a  dentifrice  called  Pepsodent.  Ant 
all  who  ask  are  sent  a  ten-day  test  t( 
show  them  what  it  does. 

Based  on  Pepsin 

Pepsodent  is  based  on  pepsin,  thi 
digestant  of  albumin.  The  film  ii 
albuminous  matter.  The  object  o 
Pepsodent  is  to  dissolve  it,  then  t( 
constantly  combat  it. 

A  recent  discovery  makes  thii 
method  possible.  Pepsin  must  bi 
activated,  and  the  usual  agent  is  ai 
acid  harmful  to  the  teeth.  But  scienci 
has  now  found  a  harmless  activating 
method.  Now  active  pepsin  can  b( 
constantly  applied. 

Pepsodent  is  now  doing  for  millioni 
of  teeth  what  nothing  else  has  done 
We  urge  you  to  see  what  it  does  fo: 
your  teeth.  Compare  it  with  the  old 
time  methods  and  judge  the  results  fo: 
yourself.

liome  to  "the  wife."  When  Mr.  Ogle  is  not  ogling  for  the  camera,  he's  right 
by  his  own  hearthstone  enjoying  domesticity  to  the  utmost.  Perhaps  it  is 
because  he  has  to  be  at  the  studio  so  much  of  the  time  that  he  is  so  keen  on 
home  comforts  in  the  few  hours  left  at  his  disposal. 

Just  lately,  for  instance,  Mr.  Ogle  took  his  beauty  sleep  in  the  dressing- 
room,  in  a  sort  of  catch-as-catch-can  manner.  He  was  doing  "Treasure 
Island"  for  Mr.  Tourneur  and  working  at  nights  with  Jimmy  Cruze  in  "Haw- 
thorne, U.  S.  A."  The  part  of  the  one-legged  Stevenson  rogue,  Long  John 
Silver,  was  a  particularly  trying  role  in  the  Tourneur  production ;  in  fact,  the 

most    difficult    characterization    from    the 
physical  standpoint  yet  essayed. 

Mr.  Ogle's  left  leg  was  strapped  up  be- 
hind, then  the  foot  strapped  again  to  the 
right  thigh,  and  with  loose  trousers  the  illu- 
sion was  perfectly  preserved.  As  much  of 
the  acting  was  done  on  a  rough  boat,  tossed 
about  by  gentle  currents  in  the  Pacific  and 
only  one  crutch  was  utilized,  Charles  Ogle 
says  he  was  just  about  crippled  in  reality 
when  night  came. 

"But — everybody  was  so  kind.     Two  of 

the  boys  would  strap  and  unstrap  me,  and 

massage  my  numb  muscles  into 


Charles  Ogle  just  takes  you. 
You  dont  have  to  acquire  a 
liking  for  him;  it's  as  con- 
tagious as  the  sympathy 
which  he  puts  into  his  voice. 
You  know  he's  always  pick- 
ing up  forlorn  curs  on  cor- 
ners, and  putting  small  kit- 
tens into  his  ulster  pockets 
to  take  home  to  "the  wife."

Why  not  some

there's  the  old-time 
connection  of 
Charles  Ogle,  char- 
acter man  with  the 
Chauncey    Olcott 

Company,  and  the  Pickford  kiddies  who  started  life   in  that  genial  Irishman's 
"Edmund  Burke." 

"Why,  yes,"  the  deep  voice  of  M'Liss'  good  friend  answered  my  question  as  to 
the  Smith  children.  "We  put  Jack  into  his  first  panties  in  that  very  show.  And 
Mary  was  just  as  winsome  and  as  good  a  pal  of  mine  then  as  now." 

Charles  Ogle  just  lakes  you.  You  dont  have  to  acquire  a  liking  for 
him ;  it's  as  contagious  as  the  sympathy  which  he  puts  into  his  voice. 
There's  a  bit  of  comedy  about  his  ample  mouth-corners  and  a  softness 
in  his  big  brown  eyes  that  makes  you  know  he'd  be  picking  up  forlorn 
curs  on  corners  and  putting  small  kittens  into  his  ulster  pockets  to  take

VIRGINIA  FAIRE 


Maybe  you  will  be  as  fortunate  as  INIiss  Virginia  Faire.  She  is  now  a  star!  And  one 
year  ago,  she  was  just  a  regular  movie  fan  herself; — going  often  to  the  movies,  and  only 
dreaming  about  an  opportunity  to  get  on  the  screen. 

Her  opportunity  came  with  the  Fame  and  Fortune  Contest,  which  was  conducted  by 
The  Motion  Picture  Magazine,  The  Motion  Picture  Classic  and  Sii/VDOwi^AND  last 
year.  Miss  Faire,  together  with  hundreds  of  others,  grasped  at  the  chance.  Knowing 
that  she  had  a  perfectly  fair  and  equal  chance  to  win,  she  entered  the  contest.  There  were 
four  winners  instead  of  one, — Miss  Faire  being  one  of  the  four. 

They  have  all  signed  up  with  large  companies.  Their  salaries  are  well  up  in  five 
figures.  Their  pictures  have  appeared  in  all  the  magazines  and  newspapers  with 
write-ups,  etc. 

You  have  precisely  the  same  opportunity  now.  If  you  have  confidence  in  yourself,  or 
believe  that  you  could  make  good  on  the  screen,  fill  out  the  coupon  below,  and  paste  it  on  the 
back  of  your  photograph  and  mail  it  in  immediately.

Apply  a  few  drops  of 
Freezone  upon  a  touchy 
corn  or  a  callus.  The

off  without  a  twinge  of 
pain.

Hello,  friends !  Once  more  we  meet  in  the 
month  of  flowers  and  sunshine,  after  the  severe 
snowstorms  of  winter.  We  are  now  back  on 
schedule  time,  and  if  you  dont  get  your  answer 
when  you  should  you  are  entitled  to  register 
a  great  big  "kick." 

A  Soldirr's  Sweetheart. — I  hope  you're  true 
to  him.  So  your  favorites  are  Sessue  Haya- 
kawa,  Louis  Bennison  and  Hallam  Cooley. 
No,  I  haven't  tried  it  yet,  but  I  understand  the 
Mexicans  have  been  making  whisky  from  cac- 
tus. It  ought  to  have  a  sting  to  it.  Cleo  Madi- 
son, Universal  Co.,  in  "The  Radium  Mystery." 

The  Movie  Fans. — You  seem  to  think  that 
the  face  is  the  most  valuable  requisite  for  a 
motion  picture  actress,  yet  Mack  Sennett  and 
the  editor  of  the  Classic  seem  to  prefer  ped- 
estals. Of  course,  Mary  Miles  Minter's  hair  is 
naturallv  curlv.  BilHe  Burke  is  married.  One 
child.     Is  that  all? 

Ln.Y  May. — Glad  to  hear  you  enjoy  the  de- 
partment by  the  Sage  in  Shadowland.  You 
know,  he's  kinda  uppish  on  himself  now  since 
he  became  a  papa  not  so  long  ago.  Monte  Blue 
is  not  married  and  he  is  in  Los  Angeles.  King 
Baggot  is  to  play  opposite  May  Allison  in  "The 
Cheater."    Yes,  come  in  again  any  time. 

Miss  V.  Saundrrs,  Wairarapa. — Address 
Pearl  White,  Fox  Company,  Fort  Lee,  N.  J. 

Gertrude  T.  E. — So  you  are  writing  scripts. 
Did  you  read  where  Sir  James  Barrie  has 
made  over  $100,000  out  of  one  play  alone? 
Encouraging,  isn't  it?  Valeska  Suratt  is  not 
playing  in  pictures  now.  Virginia  Rich  is  back 
and  she  is  playing  in  "Would  You  Forgive?" 
(Fox). 

Lydia  N. — I  dont  know  that  player's  salary 
and  wouldn't  tell  if  I  did,  unless  it  was  public 
property.  Dont  believe  all  you  read  about 
salaries.  The  printer,  and  sometimes  the  pub- 
licity man,  add  a  figure  by  mistake,  and  100 
is  made  to  read  1000.  Yes,  Mary  Pickford 
will  answer  you  if  you  write  her.  Dont  know 
how  you  can  see  her  acting  in  a  scene  unless 
you  go  to  California. 

Viola  Dana  Admirer. — So  you  dont  believe 
that  I  am  nearly  SO  and  that  I  get  only  $9.50  a 
week,  and  hence  prefer  to  believe  me  a  lyre. 
Alas,  alack!  No,  you  have  me  wrong — there's 
nothing  romantic  about  me.  Yes.  I  think  16 
is  about  the  age  when  most  young  girls  want 
to  become  actresses.    Ask  dad;  he  knows. 

N.\DE. — No  trouble  at  all.  Eric  Von  Stro- 
heim,  Universal  Co.,  Los  Angeles,  Cal.  Wal- 
lace Beery  with  Famous  Players.  Oh,  about 
25  cents. 

Nazimovite. — You  say  Herpicide  is  an  ex- 
cellent hair  tonic  and  want  me  to  try  it.  Why 
burden  myself  with  a  lot  of  hair  to  brush  and 
take  care  of?  If  you  write  direct  to  our  Cir- 
culation Department  they  will  be  glad  to  supply 
you  with  back  issues.  Keep  up  the  good  work; 
you're  a  mighty  clover  writer. 

A.  W.  P. — Your  letter  was  very  bright. 
The  religious  Russians  do  not  eat  pigeons  be- 
cause of  the  sanctity  conferred  on  the  dove  in 
the  Scriptures.  The  most  perfect  lover  on  the 
screen?  Bless  your  heart,  I'm  no  judge  of 
such  things.  Wait  until  I  get  down  to  V'irginia 
Lee  Corbin  and  I'll  be  able  to  tell.     English, 


you  know.  Yes,  I  liked  John  Cumberland  in 
"The  Gay  Old  Dog."  It  was  very  well  done, 
and  I  dont  see  how  the  ending  could  have 
been   different. 

V.  Die  I.  Bury.  Undertakers. — Say,  what's 
this  all  about?  You're  right,  I  haven't  shaved 
since  Noah  brought  me  from  the  Ark.  Well, 
the  whiskers  came  in  mighty  handy  this  past 
winter,  except  on  occasions  when  they  bore 
icicles.  You  want  more  of  Constance  Tal- 
madge  in  the  Magazine  and  Classic.  Come 
to  think  of  it,  you're  right. 

Fatty. — Why  dont  you  diet?  Yes,  Elliott 
Dexter  is  married  to  Marie  Doro.  May  Alli- 
son. Los  Angeles,  Cal. — Metro,  of  course. 

M.  I.  Welcome. — You  just  bet  you  are.  Yes, 
it  is  true;  Alice  Joyce  is  married  again.  She 
married  a  New  York  hotel  man.  Percy  Mar- 
mont  is  playing  opposite  Billie  Burke  in  "Away 
Goes  Prudence." 

M.  S.,  Mobile. — Just  take  this  little  tip — the 
excesses  of  youth  are  drafts  on  our  old  age. 
payable  with  interest,  and  sometimes  they  are 
pavable  at  sight.  From  one  who  knows.  Ye;f;, 
Norma  Talmadge  is  in  New  York.  318  W.  48th 
St.    Her  own  studio,  of  course. 

H.  V.  S. — You  are  just  a  little  late.  Sorry, 
old  dear,  very  sorry !  To  Dorothy  Davenport. 
No.  William  Hart  isn't.  Mary  Pickford  was 
recently  married  to  Doug  Fairbanks  in  Los 
Angeles.  Marjorie  Daw  was  bridesmaid.  Yes, 
Charles  Pathe  is  still  alive. 

Mrs.  E.  De  M.— Thanks  a  lot  for  the  fee. 
I'll  do  all  I  can  for  you. 

M.  T.  Garret. — There  are  others!  Why  is 
this  thus?  You  say  the  reason  telephone  girls 
are  called  operators  is  because  they  cut  you  off 
in  the  middle  of  a  conversation.    More  air! 

Rogerettf,. — Well,  yes.  I  walk  very  erect, 
having  been  straightened  by  circumstances. 
Did  you  think  I  was  old  and  bent?  Will 
Rogers,  Goldwyn  Co.,  Los  Angeles,  Cal.  Well. 
I  didn't  have  to  worry  about  an  income  tax. 
That's  one  thing  nice  about  this  job.  and  one 
reason  why  I  have  refused  better  offers. 

Ima  Wallace  Reid  Fan. — Yes,  Fox  are  re- 
issuing "Les  Miserables,"  "Salome,"  "The 
Honor  System,"  "A  Tale  of  Two  Cities," 
"Cleopatra"  and  "A  Daughter  of  the  Gods." 
Sylvia  Breamer  has  signed  up  with  Mayflower. 
Yes,  Ann  Little  is  back  with  Bill  Hart. 

Bell  del  C. — Bessie  Love  is  not  married,  and 
Tony  Moreno  at  Vitagraph  Co.,  Los  Angeles, 
Cal. 

Nell  from  Florida. — Eugene  O'Brien,  in 
viewing  Niagara,  called  it  "The  Pride  of 
Rivers."  That  pride  certainly  has  a  tremen- 
dous fall.  Yes,  I  have  been  to  Niagara — but 
not  what  you  mean.  Fritzi  Brunette  is  playing 
with  Warren  Kerrigan,  Rosemary  Theby  and 
Conway  Tcarle  in  "Michael  and  His  Lost 
Angel."  Sessue  Hayakawa  is  married.  You 
want  D.  W.  Griffith  to  produce  another 
"Broken  Blossoms."     P'r'aps  he  cant. 

Brown  Eye. — Your  letter  was  true,  all  right. 
You  know  words  from  the  mouth  die  in  the 
ears,  but  words  from  the  heart  stay  there.  Yes, 
Charlie  Ray  is  with  Arthur  S.  Kane  Pictures 
Corp.,  452  Fifth  Ave.,  New  York.  He  is  com- 
ing to  New  York  soon.

"Dont  you  think  that  the  study  of  law 
aided  you  in  dissecting;  character,  in 
analysis  and  expression?"  we  asked. 

"Oh,  I'm  sure  of  it.  You  see,  I 
studied  for  the  ministry,  because  father 
was  an  oratorical  preacher  and  dead 
against  the  stage.  However,  my  college 
days  gave  me  plenty  of  work  in  theatri- 
cals, and  so  I  finally  followed  the  natural 
bent  and  took  to  the  boards. 

"For  fifteen  years  I  acted — out  with 
road  companies  or  at  home  in  stock. 
After  the  first  few  years  of  acting,  and 
to  please  my  mother,  I  finished  college. 
I  studied  law  and  practiced  with  my 
brother — and  I  know  that  in  those  early 
days  I  was  really  acting  for  the  jury, 
watching  what  effect  my  words  or  ges- 
tures had  on  them. 

"But  I  returned  to  the  stage — and 
later  came  back  to  the  law  office.  I  was 
a  regular  Klaw  and  Erlanger  pay-roller. 
Perhaps  you  remember  'The  Blue 
Mouse'?  We  did  'Father  and  Son'  also. 
And  I  had  a  good  part  in  Rex  Beach's 
'The  Spoilers.'  For  three  years  I  trav- 
eled with  Chauncey  Olcott,  and  altho  I 
again  practiced  law,  it  never  had  any 
allurement  for  me  after  tasting  the  ex- 
citement relative  to  creating  living,  pul- 
sating beings  of  the  imagination.  So 
after  some  years  of  stage  life,  I  became 
interested  in  pictures  in  1909  and  have 
been  at  them  ever  since." 

I  had  been  told  that  Mr.  Ogle  makes 
his  first  visit  in  the  morning  to  the  offices 
of  the  Famous  Players-La  sky,  there  to 
bury  his  expressive  nose  in  the  stock 
report  of  the  daily  paper.  So  I  ventured 
another  question. 

"Do  you  make  a  hobby  of  dabbling  in 
stocks  ?" 

"Well,  it's  not  a  fad — I  dont  like  fads. 
I  suppose  you  might  call  it  a  hobby,  ooin, 
hoom,"  (Charles  has  a  habit  of  saying 
"oom-hoom"  in  place  of  the  generally 
accepted  affirmative,  and  it  makes  one 
think  of  a  fat,  happy  bumble-bee  burying 
its  proboscis  in  a  particularly  luscious 
blossom!),  "for  I  have  not  only  invested 
conservatively — very  conservatively — but 
have  had  about  six  hundred  students." 

"Students?  What  sort  of  students?" 
We  had  not  heard  of  any  financial  school 
of  the  sort  around  these  parts. 

"Oom,  hoom;  students  in  investing 
money  carefully.  Fve  tipped  off  at  least 
that  many  on  this  and  other  lots.  You 
see,  I  never  advise  anything  —  either 
from  the  legal  standpoint  or  from  my 
own  observation,  study  and  experience — 
unless  I  am  sure  it  is  very  safe.  I 
haven't  done  anything  with  oil  stocks, 
for  instance.  If  I  were  to  invest,  I 
should  simply  take  Standard  Oil  stock 
and  be  satisfied  with  the  returns.  There 
are  some  who  make  a  fortune  out  of  oil 
— but  you'll  find  thousands  who  have 
lost  everything  in  wildcatting. 

"Just  this  morning  a  chap  called  and 
had  a  lot  of  the  boys  excited  over  oil 
and  tried  to  interest  me.  I  wont  say  I 
never  lost  a  cent  on  stocks,  but  the  losses

June  Mornings 


Bubble  grains  on   berries 

yUx  these  airy,  flimsy  bubbles 
in  e\ery  dish  of  berries.  Use 
Puffed  Rice  or  Corn  Puffs.  The 
blend  is  delightful.  It  adds  what 
crust  adds  to  a  shortcake. 

At  breakfast,  also,  serve  with 
cream  and  sugar — any  of  these 
fragile,  fascinating  grains. 


June  Evenings 


Whole  wheat 

steam    exploded 

For  suppers,  float  Puffed  Wheat 
in  milk.  That  means  whole  wheat 
with  every  food  cell  blasted.  The 
grains  are  puffed  to  eight  times 
normal  size. 

They  seem  like  tidbits,  but  every 
flaky  globule  is  a  grain  of  wheat 
made  easy  to  digest. 


June  Afternoons 


Airy,  nut-like  confections 

For  hungry  children,  crisp  and  douse 
with  melted  butter.  Then  Puffed  Grains 
become  nut-like  confections,  to  be  eaten 
like  peanuts  or  popcorn. 

Use  also  like  nut-meats  as  a  garnish  on 
ice  cream.     Use  as  wafers  in  your  soups.

were  trivial — not  -worth  mentioning  at 
all  in  view  of  the  fact  that  I  covered 
them  fully  in  larger  returns  on  other 
stocks.  I  have  made  an  intensive  study 
of  the  stock  market  for  over  twenty 
years.  It's  not  a  thing  for  people  to  go 
into  as  a  gamble.  It  is  a  study— like 
chess.  If  you  cant  see  the  difference, 
you  are  sure  to  go  wrong."  The  sage  of 
the  stock  market  nodded  solemnly. 

Charles  Ogle  is  a  musician.  He  might 
earn  his  living  in  a  half-dozen  -ways; 
shows  marked  versatility,  has  an  alert 
mind  sharpened  by  a  college  education, 
extensive  travel  and  constant  study. 

Every  director  of  note  has  employed 
Mr.  Ogle  at  some  time.  In  "The  Val- 
ley of  Giants,"  as  a  blind  man,  fans 
worshipped  this  veteran  character  actor. 
He  has  received  thousands  of  letters  say- 
ing that  this  sympathetic  role  appealed 
more  than  any  other  part  Mr.  Ogle  has 
essayed.  When  asked  if  it  were  not 
more  difficult  to  play  a  blind  than  a  deaf 
or  lame  man,  Charles  Ogle  replied,  "No; 
that  one-legged  man  in  'Treasure  Island' 
gave  me  more  trouble  than  anything  I 
ever  did  in  my  life." 

Another  doubling  feat  which  Mr. 
Ogle  carried  thru  was  day  work  in  "The 
Squaw  Man"  with  Cecil  de  Mille  and 
all-night  hustling  for  "The  Dub,"  in 
which  Wallace  Reid  was  starred  and 
which  proved  to  be  one  of  Charles 
Ogle's  most  successful  parts.  He's  an 
indefatigable  worker,  his  fine  mental  and 
physical  vitality  carrying  him  thru  long 
sieges  on  the  lot,  where  cat-naps  are  the 
rule  and  meals  are  irregular. 

So  that  plain  little  dressing-room  on 
the  third  tier  at  the  Lasky  lot  overlook- 
ing the  stages,  flanked  by  waving  pepper 
trees  and  where  the  sounds  of  saw  and 
hammer  and  the  strains  of  Max  Fisher's 
violin  blend  with  swishy  little  breezes, 
has  become  a  shrine  to  many.  When 
there's  a  business  bother  or  a  love-tangle, 
Daddy  Ogle  is  the  legal  adviser,  confi- 
dential friend  and  ministering  angel  to 
the  perplexed  photoplayer. 


The  Blue  Bird  Alights  on  the 
Silversheet 

[Continued  from  page  89) 
ideal   of    stage   life — acting   out   in   the 
open — the  hills  for  the  setting,  the  audi- 
ence— the  world." 

The  little  bride  is  called  Selysette  by 
her  husband  in  memory  of  the  artistic 
portrayal  of  her  role  in  his  famous  play, 
"Aglavaine  and  Selysette,"  in  Paris. 

"We  are  on  our  honeymoon,"  she  con- 
fided demurely,  clasping  a  huge  bouquet 
of  roses  in  her  arms.  "I  think  Califor- 
nia is  the  land  of  'The  Blue  Bird,'  and  I 
do  not  like  to  think  of  the  time  that  we 
may  leave — after  a  while." 

With  this  new  romance  in  his  life, 
who  can  doubt  that  the  famous  poet- 
philosopher,  Maurice  ^Maeterlinck,  in  his 
sheltered  nook  among  the  roses  and  with 
the  rhythm  of  the  great  Pacific  in  his 
ears,  will  produce  an  inspirational  mas 
terpiece  which  shall  set  a 
the  ever  rising  tide  of

the  object  of  great 
interest  —  unfailing 
and  rife.  If  you 
have  entered  it  or 
have  read  the  announcements 
which  have  appeared,  and  will  ap- 
pear, from  time  to  time,  containing 
the  rules  and  regulations,  you

test— a  contest  in  which  both  the 
public  and  players  are  equally  in- 
terested. 

The  prizes  depicted  above  and 
below  were  selected  after  much 
careful  thought  and  attention  and 
each  one  is  destined  to  make  some 
one  happier,  from  the  beautiful 
Crescent  phonograph  which  sug- 
gests a  twilight  hour  with  the 
gems  musical  genii  have  given  to 
the  world,  to  the  Marble  nickel- 
plated  axe  which  brings  to  mind 
a  jolly  time  in  some  invitingly 
green  woodland. 

Perhaps  you  have  not  yet  de- 
cided to  enter  the  contest — if  not 
do  so  now.  Dont  lose  an  oppor-

Greatest  of  All  Popularity  Contests 

Unique  Competition  in  Which  the  Voters  Share  in  the  Prizes 


WHO  IS  THE  ONE  GREAT  STAR  OF  THE  SCREEN? 

Is  it  CHARLIE  CHAPLIN  or  ELSIE  FERGUSON? 

Is  it  RICHARD  BARTHELMESS  or  WILLIAM  S.  HART? 


Concerning  this  matter  there  is  great  difference  of  opinion.  Every  fan,  in  fact,  has 
his  own  idol.  The  Wall  street  broker  swears  by  MARY  PICI'CFORD;  his  wife  thinks 
TOM  MIX  is  the  best  actor  the  cinema  has  produced;  the  office  boy  has  a  "crush" 
on  THEDA  BARA  and  the  stenographer  collects  photographs  of  DOUGLAS 
FAIRBANKS. 

What  do  you  think?  If  you  had  a  vote  would  you  give  it  to  NAZIMOVA  or  to 
LILLIAN  GISH?  Would  you  vote  for  a  man  or  a  woman  or  for  little  BEN 
.\LEXANDER? 

Shadowland,  Motion  Picture  Magazine,  and  Motion  Picture  Classic— the  three  great 
magazines  of  the  Motion  Picture  world — have  decided  to  refer  this  question  to  their 
readers  by  taking  a  popular,  world-wide  vote.  In  regard  to  matters  concerning  the 
stage  and  theater  their  audience  is  the  most  intelligent  and  discerning;  the  most 
wide-awake  and  well-informed  in  the  world  today.  If  any  picture  patrons  can  pick 
out  the  leading  star,  it  will  be  those  who  read  Shadowland,  the  Magazine,  and  Classic. 

The  coupons  will  show  you  how  to  enter  your  own  name  and  the  name  of  your  favor- 
ite player.  But  you  may  vote  on  an  ordinary  sheet  of  paper  in  Class  Number  2, 
provided  you  make  the  ballot  the  same  size  and  follow  the  wording  of  this  coupon. 
We  prefer  the  printed  coupons  for  uniformity  and  convenience  in  counting. 

There  will  be  prizes  for  voters  and  prizes  for  stars. 

Votes  registered  in  Class  Number  I  will  probably  be  cast  by  favor.  Votes  registered 
in  Class  Number  2  will  call  for  a  wide  knowledge  of  the  Motion  Picture  business, 
keen  powers  of  perception  and  skill  at  detecting  the  trend  of  popular  favor.  You 
cannot  guess  the  winner  offhand. 

RULES  OF  THE  CONTEST 


The  contest  began  on  December   1,  1919,  and 
will  close  on    September  30,    1920. 


There 

will  be  ten  ballots  as  follows: 

December        1919  ballot 

January            1920  ballot 

February         1920  ballot 

March              1920  ballot 

April                 1920  ballot 

May                  1920  ballot 

June                  1920  ballot 

July                     1920  ballot 

August              1920  ballot 

September         1920  ballot 

The  result  of  each  month's  ballot  will  be  pub- 
lished in  each  one  of  our  magazines  the 
second    month    following    such    ballot. 

No  votes  will  be  received  prior  to  the  open- 
ing date  or  after  the  date  of  closing. 

Each  person  entering  the  contest  and  observ- 
ing the  rules  thereof  shall  have  the  priv- 
ilege of  voting  once  in  each  class,  each 
month,  for  each  one  of  our  magazines.  You 
may  send  us  one  vote  in  each  class  for 
Shadowland  every  month,  and  the  same  for 
Motion  Picture  Magazine  and  yet  again 
the  same  for  Classic.  Thus,  you  will  have 
three  votes  in  Class  No.  1  each  month,  and 
three  votes  in    Class  No,   2  each   month.

Reel  Realities 


Mary  and  Doug,  here  are  our  sincerest 
and  deepest  congratulations ! 


The  announcement  that  the  honey- 
mooners  will  make  a  tour  of  Europe, 
doing  a  photoplay  or  two  en  route, 
arouses  all  sorts  of  fancies. 

Here  is  an  event  well  calculated  to  stir 
the  imagination,  for  the  coming  of  the 
two  will  be  unparalleled  in  history.  We 
can  already  see  Little  Mary,  almost  dei- 
fied by  the  cinema,  being  received  by 
royalty,  (what  roya.ity  the  war  has  left 
behind),  moving  thru  crowded  streets, 
for  Doug  and  Mary  are  known  and 
loved  ifi  every  land,  and  are  being  feted 
as  no  one  has  ever  been. 

A  picturesque  honeymoon,  indeed. 


Not  so  long  ago  theatrical  producers 
used  to  weep  and  gnash  their  teeth  when 
their  stars  "lowered  their  prestige"  by 
going  into  the  lowly  movies.  Who  would 
pay  two  dollars  to  see  a  player  after 
being  able  to  observe  her  for  a  quarter 
or  less,  they  reasoned. 

It  remained  for  the  present  theatrical 
season  to  really  prove  the  utter  fallacy 
of  this  reasoning.  A.  H.  Woods  decided 
to  present  Theda  Bara  in  a  footlight 
play,  "The  Blue  Flame."  Miss  Bara 
promptly  shattered  records  in  Washing- 
ton, Philadelphia  and  Boston  and  started 
her  New  York  run  with  a  smash.  Had 
the  play  been  at  all  worthy,  she  would 
still  be  breaking  records.  Instead  of  de- 
tracting from  Miss  Bara,  the  screen  has 
built  up  an  enormous  following  anxious 
to  see  her  in  real  life. 

Again,  consider  Eisie  Ferguson  in  her 
return  to  the  stage  after  two  years'  ab- 
sence. Her  vehicle,  "Sacred  and  Pro- 
fane Love,"  is  attracting  capacity  New 
York  audiences.  Out  on  the  coast,  in 
Los  Angeles,  to  be  specific,  Wallie  Reid 
has  been  playing  in  a  stage  piece,  "The 
Rotters,"  with  striking  success. 

And  now  the  stage  producers  are  fall- 
ing over  each  other  to  persuade  scrten 
stars  to  make  a  theater  return. 

The  times  have  changed ! 


Recently  American  producers  offered 
George  Bernard  Shaw  a  million  dollars 
for  the  film  rights  to  his  works.  The 
canny  Mr.  Shaw  sat  down  and  began 
figuring.  Then  he  rejected  the  offer, 
figuring  that  he  would  not  only  not  make 
a  million  on  the  deal,  but  would  actually 
lose  $17,000. 

Mr.  Shaw  arrived  at  his  conclusion 
after  considering  just  what  British, 
United  States  and  New  York  State  taxes 
would  do  to  such  a  settlement.  So 
"Arms  and  the  Man,"  "Candida,"  "Caesar 
and  Cleopatra"  and  the  other  gems  of 
biting  Shavian  humor  wont  reach  the 
films — for  a  while,  anyway. 


Despite  the  fact  that  New  York's  new- 
est de  luxe  house  of  the  films,  the  Capi- 
tol, goes  in  for  extremely  long,  all  eve- 
ning   programs,    the    trend    everywhere 


in  the  country  is  towards  shorter  bills. 

The  general  impression — and  there  is 
no  denying  its  e.xistence — is  that  theaters 
have  gone  the  limit  in  working  up  de 
luxe  entertainments  of  music,  singers, 
dancers,  short  films,  etc.,  to  the  detri- 
ment of  the  feature.  Result,  audiences 
have  departed  tired  and  even  bored. 
Naturally,  the  feature,  buried  beneath 
the  elaborateness  of  the  program,  has 
suffered  severely. 

It  is  an  interesting  commentia-y  that 
one  of  New  York's  biggest  money- 
making  theaters  is  the  New  York,  an 
old,  out-of-date  house,  but  one  present- 
ing only  pictures. 


Our  comments  upon  program  length 
must  not  be  taken  as  a  slap  at  the  short 
film,  whether  dramatic,  comic  or  scenic. 
Tremendous  and  most  praiseworthy 
strides  are  being  made  in  this  field  of 
motion  picture  endeavor. 

In  short  comedy  the  American  motion 
picture  is  particularly  advancing.  We 
venture  to  say  that  Harold  Lloyd,  for 
instance,  is  as  popular  as  any  feature 
star  of  the  cinema,  with  possibly  an  ex- 
ception or  two.  Remember  the  way  the 
late  Sidney  Drew  was  beloved?  On 
every  side  these  days  we  see  the  short 
comedy,  which  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Drew  so 
ably  pioneered,  making  splendid  ad- 
vances. 


And  now  London,  just  as  did  New 
York,  welcomes  "The  Miracle  Man," 
following  the  hit  of  David  Griffith's 
"Broken  Blossoms."  There  is  no  doubt 
that  these  two  productions  stand  out  as 
milestones  in  American  film  progress. 

George  Loane  Tucker  is  acclaimed  as 
one  of  the  great  directors  of  the  cinema. 
It  is  interesting  to  note  the  enthusiasm 
of  the  London  press  over  Betty  Compson. 


More  than  50,000  miles  of  motion  pic- 
ture film  were  exported  from  the  United 
States  in  the  calendar  year  1919,  or 
enough  to  stretch  more  than  twice 
around  the  world  at  the  equator,  says  the 
New  York  National  City  Bank  in  a  cir- 
cular just  issued.  To  be  exact,  says  the 
National  City  Bank,  in  a  discussion  of 
this  growing  feature  of  our  export  trade,  . 
the  films  exported  aggregated  273,270,120 
linear  feet,  of  which  the  exposed  film 
was  153,237,260  feet  and  the  unexposed 
film  120,041,012  feet;  the  value  of  the 
exposed  film  being  $8,066,723,  or  an  av- 
erage of  5.5c  per  foot,  and  of  the  un- 
exposed film  $2,680,000,  or  an  average 
of  2.2c  per  foot. 

This  is  by  far  the  largest  total,  says 
the  bank's  statement,  of  motion  picture 
films  exported  in  a  single  year,  whether 
measured  by  quantity  or  value.  In  1918 
the  total  length  of  films  exported  was 
only  151.000,000  feet;  in  1917,  166,000,- 
000;  1916,  125,000,000;  in  1915,  199,-

Isn't  it  a  joy  to  throw  away  that 
old  and  shabby  winter  suit  you've 
been  wearing  so  long  that  you  felt 
it  had  become  a  part  of  you?  Isn't 
it  a  g-r-r-rand  and  glorious  feeling 
to  see  how  everybody  turns  around 
to  look  at  you  as  you  pass,  and  to 
know  that  they  are  all  admiring — 
and,  perhaps,  envying  you  a  little? 
We  know  just  how  you  feel,  for 
we,  too,  are  coming  out  in  our  new 
spring  suit — and  it's  great  to  shake 
oflf  the  troublesome  clothes  of  the 
past  winter  —  all  full  of  patches 
made  by  the  printers'  strike,  and 
the  paper  shortage,  and  the  late 
schedules. 

We  have  a  stunning  new  cover 
for  our  June  number  of  Shadow- 
land,  and  the  latest  thing  in  pic- 
tures, and  the  newest  stories  about 
every  one  on  the  stage  and  screen 
that  you  like.  It  will  be  the  best 
and  most  interesting  number  ever 
issued. 

There's  Walter  Pritchard  Eaton's 
first  contribution  to  Shadowland, 
One  of  the  foremost  writers  of  the 
day,  he  offers  a  brilliant  article  on 
the  theater. 

Adolph  Bolm,  Master  of  Terp- 
sichore, tells  Frederick  James 
Smith,  in  an  unusual  interview,  of 
the  development  of  the  dance  in 
America. 

Have  you  ever  thought  of  the 
political  power  of  the  cinema? 
Lynde  Denig,  in  his  "Will  Motion 
Pictures  Elect  a  President?,"  gives 
you  much  food  for  meditation. 

There  are  the  wonderful  color 
plates  of  the  most  popular  stars; 
z'ery  clever  reviews  of  the  plays 
and  cinema  features  for  the  month; 
the. latest  offerings  of  fashion  from 
Paris;  the  nezvest  novelizations ; 
and,  as  an  added  feather  in  our  cap, 
we  have  made  arrangements  with 
all  the  leaditig  photographers  of 
America  for  first  xise  of  their  best 
zvork!

{Continued  from  page  98) 
1912  that  this  class  of  e.xports  was  con- 
sidered of  sufficient  importance  to  jus- 
tify a  separate  statement  in  the  record 
of  exports,  the  total  for  that  year  being 
62,241,000  feet,  valued  at  $.=;,502,000.  The 
value  of  the  films  e.xported  since  the  be- 
ginning of  1912  is  nearly  $60,000,000. 

A  very  large  proportion  in  the  earlier 
years  went  in  the  unexposed  form  for 
use  in  making  photographs  in  other  parts 
of  the  world-  At  present,  as  above  indi- 
cated, considerably  over  one-half,  (153,- 
000,000  feet),  of  the  films  exported  are 
of  the  "exposed"  class — those  films  bear- 
ing photographs  made  in  the  United 
States — while  considerably  less  than  one- 
half,  (120,000.000  feet),  are  blank  films 
for  use  in  making  pictures  in  other  parts 
of  the  world. 

These  52,000  miles  of  motion  picture 
films  exported  in  1919  went  to  all  parts 
of  the  world-  While  the  details  of  1919 
distribution  are  not  available,  those  of 

1918  show  that  motion  picture  films  of 
the  "exposed"  class  ready  for  presenta- 
tion on  the  screen  went  to  no  less  than 
fifty-three  countries  and  colonies  of  the 
world.  Tliirty-three  per  cent-  went  to 
Europe,  29  per  cent,  to  North  America, 
exclusive  of  the  United  States ;  14  per 
cent-  to  South  America,  14  per  cent-  to 
Oceania,  a  little  over  7  per  cent-  to  .A.sia, 
and  3  per  cent,  to  Africa.  Of  the  un- 
exposed films,  of  course,  a  very  large 
proportion  went  to  Europe,  85  per  cent., 
in  fact,  while  the  remaining  IS  per  cent, 
was  distributed  to  the  North  American 
countries  other  than  the  United  States. 
Asia,  Oceania  and  South  America. 

While  our  exports  of  motion  picture 
film  have  mounted,  the  importations  have 
quite  naturally  declined,  the  total  num- 
ber of  feet  imported  in  the  calendar  vear 

1919  having  been  but  17,000.000  'feet 
against  26,000,000  in  1918  and  76,000,000 
in  1917,  which  was  the  high  record  in 
importation  of  films  from  abroad.  The 
average  import  price  of  the  exposed  film 
was  about  5.5c  per  foot  as  against  5.3c 
per  foot  of  the  exposed  film  exported. 
Of  the  153,000.000  feet  of  exposed 
film  exported  in  1919,  39,000.000  feet 
went  to  the  United  Kingdom,  15,000,CKD0 
to  Canada,  13.000.000  to  Australia,  9,- 
000,000  to  France,  7,000,000  to  .■\rgen- 
tina  and  nearly  6.000.000  to  Brazil.  The 
character  of  the  views  presented  on  the 
exposed  "ready  to  use"  films  is  quite 
similar  to  that  of  the  films  in  use  in  the 
United  States,  probabl)'  three-fourths 
being  photoplays  and  the  remainder 
travelogs,  "news  service"  and  comedies. 

\\"hi!e  no  exact  figures  are  avail- 
able on  the  quantity  of  films  now  pro- 
duced in  the  United  States,  says  The 
Xew  York  Morning  Telegraph,  an  esti- 
mate, based  upon  the  known  quantity 
exported,  suggests  that  the  entire  do- 
mestic production  nearly  exceeds  2,0(X),- 
000.000  feet,  with  a  value  of  approxi- 
mately $75,000,000  per  annum  when 
"e.xposed"  and  ready  for  use  in  the  pro- 
jecting machine.

MOTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC 

The  Celluloid  Critic 

{Continued  from  page  45) 

Xo,  "The  \'irgin  of  Stamboul"  is  not 
particularly  impressive.  It  is  too  long, 
for  one  thing.  The  direction  of  Tod 
Browning  is  cumbersome  and  H.  H. 
\'an  Loan's  storj-  but  trite  melodrama. 
It  does,  however,  reveal  the  effect  of  the 
shimmie  upon  Turkish  life.  Miss  Dean 
nowhere  achieves  the  note  of  spontaneit\'. 

Charles  Ray  can  invest  any  screen 
opus,  no  matter  how  banal,  with  the  life 
of  reality,  which,  to  our  way  of  thinking, 
closely  approaches  something  popularly- 
called  genius. 

Consider  "Alarm  Oock  Andy."  (Para- 
mount), the  romance  of  a  bashful  clerk 
who  develops  into  a  success.  It  is  ob- 
viously a  made-to-order  story,  (by  Agnes 
Johnston),  but  Ray  takes  it,  gilds  it 
here  and  there  with  sincerity,  and — lo 
and  behold!  the  thing  seems  a  human 
document  in  which  the  tear  is  close  to 
the  smile.  Jerome  Storm  has  directed 
the  theme  adequately. 

Constance  Talmadge  makes  "In  Search 
of  a  Sinner,"  (First  National),  a  piquant 
and  highly  diverting  comedy.  John  Em- 
erson and  Anita  Loos  have  cleverly 
adajtted  Charlotte  Thompson's  story  to 
the  films,  giving  it  a  tinge  of  the  risque. 
Miss  Talmadge  seems  to  be  centering 
upon  this  note  of  late.  We  do  not  say 
this  in  a  spirit  of  censure,  for  she  has  the 
verve  to  dash  with  the  lightness  of 
thistledown  over  thin  ice  thru  which 
most  other  screen  comediennes  would 
crash  disastrously. 

■'In  Search  of  a  Sinner"  presents  a 
3'oung  widow,  one  Georgianna  Chad- 
bourne,  who  has  been  so  bored  by  her 
first  and  verj-  moral  husband  that,  upon 
his  demise,  she  sets  out  to  find  a  wild- 
man.  When  her  quest  thru  Xew  York 
unearths  just  one  possibility  and  all  sorts 
of  difficulties  ensue,  Georgianna  realizes 
that  wickedness  doesn't  pay  and  is  quite 
glad  to  accept  the  p)ossibility,  even  tho  he 
turns  out  to  be  a  head  of  the  Purity 
League.  David  Kirkman's  direction  is 
spirited  and  Rockcliffe  Fellowes  at  least 
looks  the  caveman-purit}-  leaguer. 

"Mary's  Ankle,"  (Paramount),  was 
adapted  from  May  Tully's  stage  farce 
for  the  use  of  Douglas  MacLean  and 
Doris  May.  A  youthful  trio,  headed  by 
a  young  doctor  in  search  of  patients,  is 
in  desperate  financial  straits.  Finally  the 
near-physician  sends  out  wedding  an- 
nouncements in  the  hope  of  drawing  down 
a  check  from  his  wealthy  uncle  and  pos- 
sibly salable  gifts  from  here  and  there. 
Then  a  young  lady  of  identically  the 
same  name  as  that  of  the  fictitious  bride 
sprains  her  ankle  in  front  of  his  office. 
Thus  begin  the  complications.  It  is  ver%- 
broad  slapstick  farce  of  the  footlight 
type  and  not  comparable  to  the  MacLean- 
May  gem,  "23>2  Hours'  Leave."  When 
will  movie  producers  discover  that  stage 
farces  do  not  lend  themselves  to  tlie 
screen  '' 

If  it  were  not  for  the  fact  that  Dorothy 
Gish  is  the  star  of  "^lary  Ellen  Comes  to 
Town,"  (Paramount),  we'd  say  some- 
thing rude  about  it.

Mary  Pickford  and  Douglas  Fair- 
banks were  married  in  Los  Angeles,  Cal., 
on  Sunday,  March  28th,  by  the  Rev. 
J.  Whitcomb  Brougher,  pastor  of  the 
Temple  Baptist  Church.  Robert  Fair- 
banks, a  brother  of  the  bridegroom,  was 
best  man,  and  Marjorie  Daw  was  brides- 
maid. 


John  Barrymore's  sudden  illness — a 
nervous  brealcdown — caused  the  abrupt 
termination  of  his  engagement  in  "Rich- 
ard III"  in  New  York.  The  revival  had 
scored  a  sensational  success.  Mr.  Barry- 
more's illness  is  said  to  have  been  caused 
by  his  hard  work  while  rehearsing 
"Richard  III"  and  doing  the  film  pro- 
duction of  "Dr.  Jekyll  and  Mr.  Hyde." 


Billie  Burke  has  postponed  her  stage

appeared,  and  will  devote  her  time  to  the 
photoplay. 


Agnes  Ayres  is  to  be  starred  by  Albert 
A.  Kaufman. 


William  Faversham's  forthcoming 
screen  vehicles,  starting  with  "The  Man 
Who  Lost  Himself,"  will  be  released  by 
Myron  Selznick. 


Constance  Talmadge  has  secured  the 
film  rights  to  the  stage  success,  "Wed- 
ding Bells." 


Realart's  first  starring  vehicle  for 
Wanda  Hawley  is  a  film  version  of 
Jerome  K.  Jerome's  "Miss  Hobbs," 
originally  played  behind  the  footlights  by 
Annie  Russell. 


C.  Gardner  Sullivan,  Thomas  H.  Ince's 
scenarist-in-chief,  has  departed  on  his 
world  tour.    Genoa  is  the  first  stop. 


Thomas  Meighan  is  back  on  the  coast, 
making  a  film  adaptation  of  Leonard 
Merrick's  "Conrad  in  Quest  of  His 
Youth"  for  Paramount.'

CLASSIC 

Pacific  Coast  Gossip 

By  FRITZI  REMONT 

Los  Angeles,  Cal.,  (Special) — One 
of  the  very  best  raconteurs  in  the  film 
world  is  William  Duncan.  Unlike  most 
Scotchmen,  Bill  is  a  good  talker  and 
loves  to  swap  anecdotes  on  the  lot. 

He  related  an  amusing  incident  of  his 
early  experiences  in  pictures.  Before 
going  on  the  stage,  Mr.  Duncan  was  an 
exponent  for  the  Bernarr  MacFadden 
exercisers,  as  well  as  a  good  bo.xer.  His 
younger  brother  had  put  on  the  gloves 
while  in  his  teens  and  become  a  light- 
weight champion.  Thru  Bill's  early  as- 
sociations, he  was  able  to  put  his  brother 
"next,"  and  the  youngster  soon  became 
engaged  for  well-advertised  bouts. 

Mr.  Duncan's  parents  were  orthodox 
Scotch,  averse  to  publicity  and  quite  up- 
set over  William's  theatrical  experiences. 
One  day,  the  newspaper  held  glowing 
accounts  of  the  younger  Duncan's  suc- 
cessful fight,  as  well  as  of  William's 
serial.  The  family  read  the  paper  and 
silently  laid  it  down  for  Father  Duncan 
to  peruse  at  night.  There  would  be  no 
use  in  hiding  it,  for  the  elder  Duncan 
would  merely  buy  another  copy  and 
scold  over  tfie  carelessness  of  women 
who  mislaid  the  publication. 

That  evening,  Father  Duncan  read  his 
paper  after  dinner  as  usual.  He  said 
nothing  for  an  hour  or  so,  then  suddenly 
turned  to  his  wife.  "Misthress  Duncan, 
dont  ye  think  we  should  be  prood  of  our 
bairns?  I  think  we  should  praise  the 
guid  Lord  daily  for  gi'in  us  sic  a  fine 
family.  It's  not  many  that  be  blessed 
with  lads  and  lassies  like  ours — nought 
but  d prize-fighters  and  actors !" 

Some  years  have  passed  since  that 
sarcastic  outburst,  and  now  that  William 
Duncan  is  famous  thru  serials,  his 
father  is  a  first-nighter  every  week  to  see 
the  current  episode.  Moreover,  his  son 
has  just  signed  a  new  contract  with 
Vitagraph  and  reluctantly  Father  Dun- 
can admits  that  after  all  there  is  "some 
guid  in  play-acting." 

Wandering  over  the  Famous  Players- 
Lasky  stages,  I  happened  on  "Bob" 
Warwick's  set.  He  is  doing  "Hunting 
Trouble,"  which  is  an  adaptation  of 
"The  Man  from  Blankley's,"  and  is  sup- 
ported by  the  nineteen-year-old  Bebe 
Daniels. 

Of  course,  Bebe  and  her  stunning  eve- 
ning gown  got  me.  She  was  wearing  a 
combination  of  white  satin,  silver  lace, 
handsome  jewels,  high-piled  coiffure 
with  Spanish  combs  and  silver  slippers. 
As  we  gossiped,  Miss  Daniels'  jewels  at- 
tracted attention.  One  of  the  men  as- 
serted that  he  could  tell  the  difference 
between  the  imitations  and  her  own 
valuable  pins,  rings  and  bracelets,  all 
worn  at  one  time.  She  laughingly  defied 
him. 

She  was  wearing  a  long  bar  pin  of 
diamonds  and  platinum  right  over  an- 
other of  different  pattern.  I  happened 
to  view  a  safety  catch  under  the  lower 
pin,  so  decided  on  its  worth  at  once. 

"Oh,  I  forgot  that  would  give  me 
away !"   Bebe  Daniels  laughed,   merrily.

cool,  smooth  and  while.

given  way  to  this  remarkable  pre-

''I  bet  you  cnnt  tell  these  bracelets 
apart !"  I  coiiUin't,  but  the  connoisseur 
guessed  correctly.  The  rings  balHed  us 
all.  Every  imitation  was  perfect,  and 
we  finally  had  to  be  shown.  She  had 
worn  the  real  jcvvels,  lest  they  be  stolen 
if  left  in  her  dressing-room,  so  fans  will 
have  an  opportunity  to  judge  for  them- 
selves when  Bebe's  next  release  appears. 
The  little  string  of  real  pearls  she  wears 
constantly  was  a  parting  gift  from  the 
Kolin  studio  folk. 

Running  over  to  the  Christie  studio, 
I  found  that  Chic  Sale  is  now  doing 
"The  Smart  Aleck,"  by  Irvin  Cobb,  a 
"Satcvcpost"  story.  Mr.  Sale  has  a  vaude- 
ville reputation  which  is  national,  so, 
with  Coleen  Moore  playing  leads,  the 
comedy  drama  should  make  a  hit.  There 
is  a  new  star  in  the  shape  of  Lucile 
Ruby,  a  seventeen-year-old  recruited 
from  the  Famous  Players. 

Strange  to  say,  "Smiling  Bill"  Par- 
sons' comedies  will  be  finished  by 
"Smiling  Bill"  Jones,  said  to  be  a  for- 
mer English  grand  opera  singer.  Billie 
Rhodes  has  been  resting,  but  has  resumed 
production,  now  that  the  Lenten  sea- 
son has  passed.  A  big  photograph  of 
the  late  "Smiling  Bill"  Parsons  hangs 
over  the  mantel  at  the  National  studio 
sitting-room,  and  it  seems  as  if  the  jolly 
husband  of  Billie  must  come  back  any 
day.  It  has  been  very  hard  for  the  little 
star  alone,  and  so  her  absence  from  the 
screen  is  due  to  her  inability  to  settle 
down  to  work  since  her  bereavement. 

Henry  Walthall,  of  the  National,  has

THE   STORM 
By  Charlotte  Becker 
The   East  Wind  rides  to  war  tonight — 

I  hear  his  eager  steeds, 
With    rustling   panoplies  bedight. 
Come  plunging  thru  the  reeds. 

Deep  in  the  wood,  where  Captain  Oak 
Commands  the  valiant  trees, 

The   fearsome   little  primrose  folk 
Arc  crouching  on  their  knees. 

The  g.unit  weeds   hide  in  ambuscade 

Behind  the  garden  wall, 
The  hollyhocks  are  sore  afraid 

Lest   Major   Sunflower  fall. 


Now,  hark,   the  battle  has  begun — 
The  East  Wind's  trumpets  blow, 

And  soldier  branches,  one  by  one, 
Fall  on  the  ground  below. 

The  hollyhocks  drop  thick  and   fast. 

Their  petals  stained  and  torn. 
Where  Major  Sunflower  breathes  his  last. 

Of  all  his  glory  shorn. 

And  overhead  the  doleful  sky 

Is  weeping  tears  of  rain. 
Because  tlie  flowers  that   shattered  lie 

Will   never  bloom  again!

How  washing  your  face  makes  rouge  and  powder  harmless 


You  should  not  blame  your  skin 
imperfections     on     the     rouge 
and     powder     you     may     use. 
Modern  cosmetics  are  usually  harm- 
less enough  if  applied  to  a  clean  skin. 

It  is  only  by  leaving  them  on— one 
application  over  another — that  the 
damage  is  done. 

Then  they  combine  with  dirt,  oil 
secretions  and  perspiration  in  an  im- 
pervious coat.  This  clogs  and  poi- 
sons the  delicate  network  of  pores 
and  glands  we  call  the  skin.  Coarse 
texture  and  ugly  blotches  are  the 
result. 

Wash  your  face  thoroughly  once  a 
day  with  a  pure,  mild  soap  and  you 
needn't  fear  rouge  and  powder. 

Most  actresses  know  this  secret,  which 
keeps  their  complexions  fresh,  clear 
and  young  in  spite  of  the  make-up 
used.  It  is  really  the  oldest  of  beauty 
secrets,  discovered  by  Cleopatra. 

But — it  all  depends  on  the  soap 

If  you  say  "but  soap  is  too  harsh  for 
my  skin,"  you  cither  haven't  found 
the  right  soap  or  have  used  it  the 
wrong  way.  This  essential  cleanli- 
ness must  be  obtained  with  a  mild, 
soothing  cleanser,  such  as  is  yours  in 


Palmolive.  And  the  way  you  use  it 
must  be  governed  by  the  kind  of 
complexion  you  have. 

For  this  modern  combination  of  the 
palm  and  olive  oils  Cleopatra  used 
as  cleansers  is  as  bland  as  a  lotion. 
Its  profuse  creamy  lather  leaves  the 
skin  soft,  supple  and  smooth. 

Yet,  while  money  can't  buy  a  more 
satisfactory  facial  soap,  the  price  of 
Palmolive  keeps  it  within  reach  of  all. 

Why  isn't  Palmolive  expensive? 

Manufactured  in  small  quantities  it 
would  be.  Palm  and  olive  oils  are 
costly  and  come  from  overseas. 

Enormous  production  and  factories 
working  night  and  day— ingredients 
ordered  in  gigantic  volume— is  what 
reduces  production  cost. 

Thus  we  are  able  to  keep  the  price  of 
Palmolive  to  a  very  moderate  sum- 
no  more  than  ordinary  toilet  soaps. 

You    can    therefore    afford    to    use 

Palmolive    for   every   toilet   purpose. 

Keep   it   on    the    washstand    for    the 

sake  of  smooth  white  hands.     Use  it 

for   bathing— it   is    the    luxury    bath 

soap. 

Sold  everywhere  by  leading  dealers.

How^  You  Can  Have  a 

Charming  Personality 


rwt       WY  I        Dear     Friends 

I  n    WOTTIf^n  '    "^^     ^y      Sex:— 
1  U    TT  UlllC;il  •  Truly.      I      have 

good  reason  to  be  one  of  the  happiest 
women  in  the  world.  For  every  mail 
brings  me  so  many  letters  of  apprecia- 
tion. If  you  were  in  my  place,  you 
would  be  delighted  to  know  that  you 
were  a  real  help  to  so  many,  to  feel 
that  you  could  be  a  sort  of  fairy  god- 
mother to  someone  in  need  of  just  the 
kind  of  knowledge  you  had  stored  up 
and  just  the  kind  of  sympathy  you  have 
in  your  heart. 

Oh.  the  letters!  How  I  love  them  all. 
They  fairly  breathe  appreciation  and 
friendship  for  the  good  things  they 
attribute  to  me  and  my  work.  Here  is 
one  from  a  little  woman  in  Allentown. 
I  remember  the  first  time  she  wrote  me. 
Such  a  pathetic  little  letter  it  was.  a 
•igh  from  beginning  to  end,  mingling 
with  a  sort  of  forlorn  hope  that  I, 
Juliette  Fara,  might  be  able  to  help  her. 

Yes,  to  help  her.  To  show  her  how 
•he  might  attain  success,  how  she  might 
throw  aside  the  mantle  of  a  gray,  un- 
interesting and  even  repellant  person- 
ality and  be  just  what  the  Creator  in- 
tended her  to  be,  a  glorious,  magnetic 
little  woman  radiating  charm  and  per- 
sonality, captivating  hearts  of  men  and 
women  alike  with  a  new  found  power 
sparkling  with  the  attraction  that  draws 
friends  like  a  magnet,  compels  admira- 
tion, respect  and  all  the  other  things  in 
life  worth  having. 

That's  what  my  little  friend  wanted 
and  that  is  what  all  of  us  want.  Now 
•he  writes  and  tells  me  that  she  has 
attained  the  desire  of  her  heart,  and 
that  to  me — think  of  it,  to  me — she 
owes  the  credit  of  her  success.  Can 
you  blame  me  for  being  elated  and 
pappy  ? 

But  hers  is  not  a  new  story  to  me.  I 
have  dedicated  my  life_  to  helping 
women  overcome  their  imperfections, 
my  whole  being  is  wrapped  up  in  a 
desire  to  enable  you,  dear  Reader,  as 
well  as  others  of  my  sex,  to  attain  the 
success  that  comes  to  those  who  will 
acquire  the  exquisite  and  charming 
ways  which  are  so  necessary  if  we 
women  are  to  achieve  the  feminine  suc- 
cess so  dear  to  our  hearts. 

Perhaps  you  know  that  I  spent  years 
of  my  life  in  Paris,  watching,  studying, 
and  analyzing  the  captivating  ways  of 
the  French  woman,  she  whose  fame  has 
•pread  to  every  land,  she  who  holds  in 
her  hand  the  destiny  of  her  country 
and  her  men,  she  to  whom  the  power 
of  attraction  is  an  art  and  a  science  to 
be  cultivated  just  as  one  would  learn  to 
play  the  piano  or  sing.  What  secrets 
nave  been  revealed  to  me !  What  amazing 
thing!  I  have  found  in  the  French  woman's 
treasure    box    of  personality! 

There   was  Mademoiselle    Polaire,   for   instance,

CONSTANCE    TALMADGE 

THIS  esteemable  young  lady  has  won  a  place  in  the 
hearts  of  millions.  Study  her  picture  well;  it  will 
make  you  think. 

What  man.  woman  or  child  has  not  been  charmed  by  her 
superb  acting,  her  magnetic  personality,  even  as  she  has 
captivated  you. 

Note  the  tilt  of  her  head,  the  sweet,  quiet  unassuming 
dignity  in  her  easy,  graceful  pose.  Remember — you  have 
never  heard  her  utter  a  word.  She  has  no  opportunity  of 
portraying  her  thoughts  and  emotions  in  vivid,  eloquent 
speech.  By  pose,  motion  and  facial  expression,  she  holds 
your  attention,  thrilling  you,  amusing  you,  leaving  you  with 
a  lingering  memory   of  her  charming  mannerisms. 

All  that  Juliette  Fara  teaches.  Miss  Talmadge  employs  to 
her  direct  personal  advantage,  so  much  so  that  a  prominent 
director  said:  "Mentally  and  physically  she  is  able  to  adopt 
any  attitude  with  the  greatest  ease  and  to  express  any 
emotion  or  shade  of  feeling.  That  is  why  she  attained  such 
nation-wide    popularity." 

Miss  Talmadge  has  heartily  indorsed  the  instructive 
knowledge  which  Juliette  Fara  imparts  to  women,  and  what 
Miss  Talmadge  indorses  you  should  know.  "How"  you  also 
can  use  the  secrets  which  she  uses  to  such  advantage  is 
explained  to  you  in  the  free  book  "How"  which  the 
Gentlewoman    Institute   will   send  for  the  asking.

JULIETTE  FARA 


Beautiful?  Dear  me, 
n  o!  Mademoiselle

But  people  raved 
over   her. 

But  Mademoiselle 
Polaire  had  person- 
ality, she  under- 
stood the  very 
things  that  I  would 
like  to  teach  to  you 
who  are  far  from 
being  ugly.  you. — 
an  American  Girl — 
equipped  as  no 
other     girl     in     the 


whole  world  is  equipped,  to  cultivate  a  charm- 
ing personality,  to  use  the  secrets  I  am  ready 
to  impart  to  you  so  that  you  can  be  just  the 
wonderful,  admiration-compelling  woman  you 
would    like   to   be. 

How  often  have  you  wished  you  could  reach 
out  your  arms  and  draw  close  to  your  heart  the 
devotion,  the  luxuries  of  life,  the  tender  love 
that  you  see  others  enjoying!  How  often  have 
you  envied  the  woman  who  seemed  so  supreme- 
ly happy  in  the  shelter  of  a  wonderful  home 
and  perfect  love,  the  woman  with  scores  of 
admirers  at  her  feet,  or  another  with  an 
unviable    position ! 

You  have  wondered  why,  gifted  to  no  par- 
ticular degree  with  beauty  of  cither  face  or 
form,  or  endowed  with  but  ordinary  intellect  or 
education — why  some  women  attain  their  desires 
so    easily. 

I    will    answer     you.      They    have    personality. 


the      winsome     charm     that     all     women 
can    have,    once    tUey  know    the    secrets. 

Now,  dear  Reader,  I  do  not  want  to 
seem  the  least  bit  mysterious,  but  you 
who  wish  to  acquire  a  winning 
personality  should  know  the  secrets 
which  I  have  found  out.  These  I 
would  like  to  whisper  in  your  ear,  to 
tell  you  confidentially.  woman  to 
woman,  how  I  have  achieved  my  suc- 
cess, and  how  I  have  helped  so  many 
of   my    sisters  achieve    theirs. 

How  many  women  there  are  who  in 
some  way  or  other  find  it  desirable  and 
even  necessary  to  use  every  bit  of 
honest  persuasion  they  can  summon  to 
control  the  love  and  hold  the  interest 
of  the  men  of  their  hearts!  Sometimes 
they  win  over  the  thoughtless,  indiffer- 
ent or  erring  ones  by  weeping  or  argu- 
ments. But  more  often  do  they  fail 
when  they  do  not  understand  the  true 
secret  of  winning  personality  for 
women. 

Yes,  if  they  only  knew.  If  they 
would  but  work  with  head  and  heart 
instead  of  only  the  latter,  using  the 
knowledge,  the  secrets  which  would 
make  the  task  so  easy,  the  results  so 
wonderful  and  everlasting.  How  I 
have  longed  to  go  to  these  women  and 
say :  "Let  me  teach  you,"  instead  of 
which  I  must  stand  aside  and  await  the 
lime  they  must  realize  that  I  have  what 
they   want. 

Of  course,  there  are  all  types  of 
women  in  the  world.  Among  those 
who  have  yet  to  attain  a  charming 
personality  is  the  loud,  aggressive, 
rather  forward  girl.  Then  there's  the 
woman  who  is  too  shy  and  retiring. 
It'  you  are  either  of  these  types,  or 
if  some  other  imperfection  stands  be- 
tween you  and  your  desires,  I  am  sure 
I  can  help  you.  As  the  beautiful 
butterfly  issuesi  from  the  homely  cocoon 
so  should  you  emerge  from  the  dark- 
ness and  obscurity  with  a  new  found 
power  at  your  command,  with  the 
alluringly  beautiful  personality  of  a 
woman  whose  band  is  firmly  on  tho 
throttle    of    her    own    destiny. 

I  want  to  make  you  sought  after 
by  both  men  and  women.  I  want  you 
to  be  the  real  center  around  which 
revolves  every  social  function  you 
attend.  I  want  you  to  rise  in  business 
and  make  yourself  so  independent  that 
you  can  choose  your  own  pathway 
through  life,  gain  and  hold  the  love  of 
the  man  of  your  heart,  dispelling  your 
troubles  like  fog  before  the  bright  sun- 
shine. So  I  want  you  to  learn  what 
I  have  learned,  to  share  with  me  the 
secrets   of   a  winsome  manner. 

But  this  is  not  all  I  have  to  tell 
you.  I  would  like  to  know  you  better 
and  have  you  know  me  better.  So  first  I 
suggest  that  you  write  for  a  little  book  into 
which  I  have  written  some  of  the  wonderful 
secrets  I  know.

While    Miss    Binney    owes    her    cinema    discover>-    to    Mr. 
Tourneur,  she  had  an  unusual  measure  of  stage  experience 
crowded  into  her  two  or  three  years  behind  the  footlights.     She  first  attracted 
attention  as  a  dancer  in  the  musical  comedy,  "Oh,  Lady,  Lady!"     After  that 
came  screen  fame  and  finally  stardom  with  Realart.

Astor. — Fay  Bainter  in  "East  Is  West." 
The  story  of  a  quaint  little  Chinese  maid  who 
falls  in  love  with  a  yoiiiip  American.  Racial 
barriers  seem  insurmountable,  but  there  is  a 
happy  and  surprising  ending.  Has  all  the  in- 
gredients of  popular  drama. 

Bclasco. — "The  Son-Daughter,"  with  Lenore 
Ulric.  George  Scarborough  and  David  Belas- 
co's  highly  colored  Chinese  melodrama  with 
the  vivid  Miss  Ulric.  One  of  the  big  hits  of 
the  season. 

Bijou. — "The  Ouija  Board."  Crane  Wilbur's 
thriller  built  around  spiritism.  Real  spooks 
invade  a  fake  seance,  solve  a  murder  mystery 
and  provide  plenty  of  surprises.  Guaranteed 
to  keep  you  on  edge.  Excellent  cast  includes 
George  Gaul,  Howard  Lang  and  Edward  Ellis. 

Booth. — "Not  So  Long  Ago."  A  fragile  and 
charming  little  comedy  by  a  newcomer,  Arthur 
Richman,  telling  a  story  of  picturesque  New 
York  in  the  early  70's.  Genuinely  delightful. 
Finely  played  by  Eva  Le  Gallienne,  Sidney 
Blackmer  and  an  excellent  cast. 

Broadhursf. — "Smilin'  Through."  with  Jane 
Cowl.  An  odd,  but  effective,  drama  which 
purports  to  show  how  those  who  have  gone 
before  influence  and  watch  over  our  lives. 
Miss  Cowl  is  exceedingly  good  as  a  piquant 
Irish  girl  and  also  as  a  spirit  maid  whose 
death  occurred  fifty  years  before.  "Smilin' 
Through"  will  evoke  your  smiles  and  tears. 

Casino. — "Betty,  Be  Good."  Lively  summer 
musical  show  with  a  tuneful  score  by  Hugo 
Riesenfeld,  the  director  of  the  Rivoli,  Rialto 
and  Criterion  screen  theaters.  Josephine 
Whittell  is  the  life  of  the  entertainment,  Frank 
Crumit  scores  and  Worthington  Romaine 
makes   his   role  stand  out. 

Central. — "As  You  Were,"  with  Irene  Bor- 
doni  and  Sam  Bernard.  A  delightful  musical 
show  in  Avhich  Miss  Bordoni  dazzles  as  the 
various  sirens  of  history.  Pleasant  music  and 
a  pleasant  chorus  lend  effective  aid. 

Century. — "Florodora."  The  much-heralded 
revival  of  the  widely  popular  musical  show  of 
some  twenty  years  ago.  Done  with  charm, 
distinction  and  humor.  Eleanor  Painter's  sing- 
ing stands  out  vividly  and  George  Hassell's 
humor  is  highly  diverting.  Then,  of  course, 
there  is  the  famous  "sextette."  Here  is  a 
revival  that  really  revives. 

Cort. — "Abraham  Lincoln."  You  should  see 
this  if  you  see  nothing  else  on  the  New  York 
stage.  John  Drinkwater's  play  is  a  noteworthy 
literary  and  dramatic  achievement,  for  he 
makes  the  Great  American  live  again.  "Abra- 
ham Lincoln"  cannot  fail  to  make  you  a  better 
American.  Moreover,  it  is  absorbing  as  a  play. 
Frank  McGlyn  is  a  brilliant  Lincoln. 

Comedy. — "My  Lady  Friends."  Highly 
amusing  entertainment  adapted  from  a  Conti- 
nental farce.  Much  of  the  humor  is  due  to 
the  able  work  of  Clifton  Crawford  in  the  rote 
of  the  guileless  young  publisher  of  Bibles 
whose  efforts  to  spend  money  get  him  into  all 
sorts  of  difficulties.  June  Walker  scores  in 
Mr.  Crawford's  support. 

Eltingc. — "Martinique."  A  colorful  romantic 
tragedy  of  the  French  West  Indies,  revolving 
around  tlie  exotic  Belles  Affranchies — mulatto 
belles— of  a  certain  part  of  the  tropics,  the 
women  poetized  by  Lafcadto  Hearn.  The  cast 
includes  Josephine  Victor,  Vincent  Coleman, 
Arthur  Hohl  and  Emmett  Corrigan. 

I'orty-F.ifjJilh  Strccl.—  'The  Storm."  A  well- 
told  melodrama  of  the  lonely  Northwest  with 
a  remarkable  stage  effect  of  a  forest  fire. 
Helen  MacKcllar  is  admirable  as  the  piquant 
French-Canadian  heroine. 

Porty-Pourth  Street.— ''\.ooV  Who's  Here," 
with  Cecil  Lean.  A  passable  musical  enter- 
tainment that  entertains  when  Mr.  Lean  and 
Cleo  Mayfield  hold  the  center  of  the  stage. 

Henry  Miller's  Theater — "The  Famous  Mrs. 
Fair."  Able  drama  dealing  with  the  feminine 
problem  of  a  career  or  a  home.  Skilfully 
written  by  James  Forbes,  with  unusual  playing 


by  Blanche  Bates,  Henry  Miller  and  Margalo 
Gilmore. 

Hudson. — "Clarence,"  Booth  Tarkington's 
delightful  comedy,  built  about  the  way  a  re- 
turned soldier  reunited  a  disturbed  but  typic- 
ally American  household.  Superb  perform- 
ances by  Alfred  Lunt,  Glenn  Hunter  and  Helen 
Hayes  give  the  comedy  a  fine  verve. 

Little  Theater. — "Beyond  the  Horizon,"  by 
Eugene  O'Neill.  This  powerful  drama  was 
produced  at  a  series  of  special  matinees  and 
proved  so  successful  that  it  won  a  theater  all 
its  own.  A  gripping  study  of  a  human  being 
crushed  by  environment,  told  with  compelling 
force.  One  of  the  biggest  native  dramas  of 
years.  Richard  Bennett  heads  a  remarkable 
cast. 

Lyric. — "What's  In  a  Name?"  The  most 
beautiful  musical  entertainment,  with  the  pos- 
sible exception  of  the  Ziegfeld  revues,  yet  seen 
on  Broadway.  Colorful  new  art  stage  designs, 
remarkable  use  of  lights  and  gorgeous  cos- 
tumes lift  it  into  the  realm  of  the  exquisite, 
intelligently  written  and  put  together,  too. 

A'V^c  Amsterdam  Roof. — Ziegfeld  9  o'clock 
and  midnight  revues.  Colorful  entertainments 
unlike  anything  to  be  found  anywhere  else. 
Mile.  Spinelly,  a  Parisian  favorite,  is  now  in 
the  cast  of  the  two  revues.  Mary  Hay  stands 
out  and  the  entertainers  include  Fanny  Brice, 
Carl  Randall  and  W.  C.  Fields. 

Nora  Bayes  Theater. — "Lassie."  A  charm- 
ing and  pleasantly  tuneful  little  musical  com- 
edy of  Scotland  and  London  in  the  picturesque 
sixties.  Based  upon  Catherine  Chisholm  Cush- 
ing's  "Kitty  MacKay."  Tessa  Kosta  sings 
pleasantly  and  MoUie  Pearson  and  Roland  Bot- 
tomley  are  prominent.  Dorothy  Dickson  and 
Carl  Hyson  contribute  some  delightful  dance 
interludes. 

Playhouse. — "The  Wonderful  Thing."  A 
human  play  built  around  a  poverty-stricken  but 
blue-blooded  EngUsh  family  into  which  Jeanne 
Eagels  comes  as  a  wealthy  heiress  and  wife  of 
the  eldest  son.     Pleasant  if  conventional. 

Plymouth. — "Three  Showers."  A  musical 
comedy  of  Dixie,  staged  by  the  Coburns,  who 
produced  "The  Better  'Ole."  Rather  dull  and 
not  very  inspired.  Anna  Wheaton  is  the  fea- 
tured member  of  the  cast. 

Thirty-Ninth  Street  Theater,  —  "Scandal.'* 
Cosmo  Hamilton's  daring  drama  which  Con- 
stance Talmadge  played  on  the  screen.  Fran- 
cine  Larrimore  and  Charles  Cherry  have  the 
leading  roles  in  the  excellent  footlight  produc- 
tion. 

Winter  Garden. — "The  Passing  Show  of 
1919."  A  typical  girly  garden  show  in  \vhich 
the  famous  runway  gets  plenty  of  use.  The 
revue  presents  a  number  of  travesties  upon 
current  attractions,  particularly  colorful  being 
that  of  "The  Jest,"  with  Charles  Winninger 
doing  a  clever  burlesque  of  Lionel  Barrymore. 


ON   TOUR 

"The  Purple  Mask."  with  Leo  Ditrichstein. 
A  stirring,  romantic  melodrama  of  the  days  of 
the  First  Consulate  in  France;  tense,  colorful 
and  highly  interesting.  One  of  the  best  eve- 
ning's entertainments  of  the  season.  Mr.  Dit- 
richstein  is  delightful  as  the  royalist  brigand, 
the  Purple  Mask;  Brandon  Tynan  is  admirable 
as  the  republican  police  agent,  Brisquet;  Lily 
Cahill  is  a  charming  heroine,  and  Boots  Woos- 
ter  makes  her  bit  of  a  peasant  girl  stand  out. 

"The  Sign  on  the  Door." — A  very  good  melo- 
drama which  boasts  many  instances  of  the  un- 
expected— and  Marjorie  Rambeau  in  highly 
emotional  scenes. 

"The  Blue  Flame,"  with  Theda  Bara.  A  lurid 
melodrama  with  the  famous  Theda  in  the  dual 
role  of  an  ingenue  with  and  without  a  soul. 
It  is  breaking  box-office  records,  proving  that 
every  one  wants  to  see  Miss  Bara  "in  person.'"

In  "The  Wonder  Book  for  Writers,"  which  we  will  send  to  you  ABSOLUTELY  FREE,  these  famous  Movie 
Stars  point  out  the  easiest  way  to  turn  your  ideas  into  stories  and  photoplays  and   become   a  successful  writer. 

Millions  of  People  Can  Wiite 
Stories  and  Photoplays  and 

Dorit  Know  It  / 


THIS  is  the  startling  assertion  recently 
made  by  one  of  the  highest  paid  writers 
inthe  world.  Is  his  astonishing  statement 
true?  Can  it  be  possible  there  are  countless 
thousands  of  people  yearning  to  write,  who 
really  can  and  simply  haven't  found  it  out? 
Well,  come  to  think  of  it,  most  anybody  can  tell 
a  story.  Why  can't  most  anybody  write  a  story? 
Why  is  writing  supposed  to  be  a  rare  gift  that 
few  possess?  Isn't  this  only  another  of  the 
Mistaken  Ideas  the  past  has  handed  down  to 
us?  Yesterday  nobody  dreamed  man  could  fly. 
To-day  he  dives  like  a  swallow  ten  thousand 
feet  above  the  cnrth  and  laughs  down  at  the 
tiny  mortal  atoms 
of  his  fellow-men 
below !  So  Yester- 
day's "  impossibil"- 
ity  "  is  a  reality  to- 
day. 

"The  time  will 
come,"  writes  the  au- 
thorityquoted  above, 
"when  millions  of 
people  will  be  writ- 
ers— there  will  be 
countless  thousands 
of  playwrights, 
novelists,  scenario, 
magazine  and  news- 
paper writers — they 
are  coming,  coming 
— a  whole  new  world 
of  them!"  And  do 
you  know  what  these 
writers- to-be  are 
doing  now?  Why, 
they  are  the  men — 
armies  of  them — 
ydimg  and  old,  now 
doing  mere  clerical 
work,  in  offices, 
keeping  books,  cell- 
ing merchandise,  or 
even  driving  trucks, 
running  elevators, 
street  cars,  waiting 
on  tables,  working 
at  barber  chairs, 
following  the  plow, 
or  teaching  schools 
in  the  rural  dis- 
tricts; and  women, 
young  and  old,  by 
scores,  now  pound- 
ing typewriters,  or 
J   standing       behind

Yes— you  may  laugh — but  these  are  The

For  writing  isn't  only  for  geniuses  as  most 
people  think.  Don't  you  believe  the  Creator 
gave  you  a  story-uriting  faculty  just  as  He  did 
the  greatest  ivriterf  Only  maybe  you  are  simply 
"blu.Ted"  by  the  thought  that  you  "haven't  the 
gift."  Many  people  are  simply  afraid  to  try. 
Or  if  they  do  try,  and  their  first  efforts  don't 
satisfy,  they  simply  give  up  in  despair,  and  that 
ends  it.  They're  through.  They  never  try 
again.  Yet  if,  by  some  lucky  chance,  they  had 
first  learned  the  simple  rules  of  writing,  and 
then  given  the  imagination  free  rein,  they  might 
have  astonished  the  world!

Motion  Picture 
Classic 


stage  Plays  That  Are  Worth  While 

(Continued  from  page  6) 

"My  Golden  Girl." — A  passable  musical  en- 
tiTtainment  with  a  score  by  Victor  Herbert.  A 
chorus  girl,  Jcannette  Dietrich,  scores  the  hit 
of  the  show. 

"Shavings." — A  pleasant  bucolic  entertain- 
ment based  upon  Joseph  C.  Lincoln's  familiar 
Cape  Cod  storiefe.  Harry  Beresford  is  featured 
in  a  gentle,  whimsical  characterization. 

"Mamma's  Affair." — Rachel  Butler's  admir- 
ably written  comedy — a  study  of  that  deadly 
human  specie,  the  hypochondriac  who  fancies 
herself  suffering  from  all  sorts  of  ills.  Done 
W'ith  distinction  and  fine  discernment.  Ida  St. 
Leon  scores  and  important  members  of  the 
cast  are :  Effie  Shannon,  Robert  Edeson,  Kath- 
erine  Kaelred  and  George  Le  Guerre. 

"The  Little  IFhof^per." — Lively  and  amusing 
musical  comedy  with  txmeful  score  by  Rudolf 
Friml.  \'ivienne  Segal  pleasantly  heads  the 
cast,  which  also  numbers  Harry  C.  Browne, 
who  does  excellent  work,  Mildred  Richardson 
and  W.  J.  Ferguson. 

"Wedding  Bells." — A  bright  and  highly 
amusing  comedy  by  Salisbury  Field.  Admir- 
ably written  and  charmingly  played  by  Mar- 
garet Lawrence  and  Wallace  Eddinger.  One 
of  tlie  things  you  should  see. 

"Aphrodite." — Highly  colored  and  lavish 
presentation  of  a  drama  based  upon  Pierre 
Louys'  exotic  novel  of  ancient  Alexandria. 
Superbly  staged  adaptation  of  the  play  that 
caused  a  sensation  in  Paris.  Dorothy  Dalton, 
the  screen  star,  returns  to  the  stage  in  the  prin- 
cipal role  of  the  Galilean  courtesan,  Chrysis, 
and  scores.  McKay  Morris  is  admirable  in  the 
principal  male  role. 

"The  Frivolities  of  1920." — G.  M.  (Broncho 
Billy)  Anderson's  girl  revue.  Lively,  speedy 
musical  show  with  a  large  measure  of  vulgarity, 
but  many  pretty  girls. 

"The  Royal  Vagabond." — A  Cohanized  opera 
comique  in  every  sense  of  the  words.  A  tune- 
ful operetta  plus  Cohan  speed,  pep  and  brash 
American  humor. 

"The  Girl  in  the  Limousine." — A  decidedly 
daring  boudoir  farce  by  Wilson  Collison  and 
Avery  Hopwood,  in  which  a  pink  and  white 
bed  is  invaded  by  every  member  of  the  cast 
during  the  progress  of  the  evening.  John  Cum- 
berland is  very  funny  and  Doris  Ivenyon,  fresh 
from  the  screen,  is  both  pretty  and  pleasant  as 
the  heroine. 

"Nightie  Night." — Described  by  the  program 
as  a  "wide  awake  farce,"  "Nightie  Night"  lives 
up  to  its  billing.  It  has  plenty  of  verve,  ginger 
and  some  daring.  There  are  scores  of  laughs. 
Heading  the  very  adequate  cast  are  Francis 
Byrne,  Suzanne  Willa,  Malcolm  Duncan  and 
Dorothy  Mortimer. 

"The  Magie  Melody." — A  "romantic  musical 
play"  with  a  tuneful  score  and  a  picturesque 
Willy  Pogany  setting.  Charles  Purcell,  Julia 
Dean,  Earl  Benham  and  Carmel  Myers,  the 
last  two  well  known  to  the  screen,  head  the 
cast. 

Elsie  Janis  and  "her  gang." — Lively  enter- 
tainment built  about  the  experiences  of  the 
A.  E.  F.  on  the  other  side.  Well  put  together 
by  Miss  Janis.  who  shines  with  decided  bright- 
ness.   A  pleasant  entertainment. 

E.  H.  Solhcrn  and  Julia  Marlowe  in  Shake- 
spearian repertoire. — These  artists  represent 
the  best  traditions  of  our  theater  and  their  re- 
vivals of  "Twelfth  Night,"  "Hamlet"  and  "The 
Taming  of  the  Shrew"  are  distinguished  in 
every  sense  of  the  word.

MISS  ANETHA  GETWELL 
1919  FAME  AND  FORTUNE  CONTEST  WINNER 


You  Will  Admit  That  This  Is  a  Rare  Opportunity ! 

You  have  often  thought  of  what  you  would  do  if  you  could  only  have  the  chance. 

Well,  here  it  is ! 

The  Fame  and  Fortune  Contest  being  held  by  The  Motion  Picture  Magazine,  The  Motion  Picture 
Classic  and  Shadowland  is  offering  you  the  realization  of  your  dreams. 

It  brought  success  to  four  young  ladies  last  year ;  it  brought  them  country-wide  publicity  thru  their  appear- 
ance in  "A  DREAM  OF  FAIR  WOMEN,"  a  two- reel  feature  produced  for  the  purpose  of  testing  their 
histrionic  ability.  This  feature,  which  is  being  released  by  the  Fine  Arts  Pictures,  Inc.,  of  130  West  46th 
Street,  New  York  City,  proved  so  interesting  that  it  has  been  sold  to  every  State  in  the  Union. 

"LOVE'S  REDEMPTION"  is  the  title  of  the  five-reel  feature  play  that  is  being  produced  by  us,  which 
will  include  many  of  the  contestants  of  the  1920  Fame  and  Fortune  Contest.  Blanche  McGarity,  winner 
of  last  year's  contest,  has  been  chosen  to  play  the  leading  part  of  "Peggy."  Dorian  Romero  has  been 
selected  as  the  "heavy,"  and  he  has  a  big  and  strong  part  to  play.  Edward  Chalmers,  Alfred  L.  Rigali,  Mrs. 
Mayer,  Bunty  Manly  and  Erminie  Gagnon  have  also  been  assigned  parts.  Among  the  distinguished  men 
who  will  probably  take  part  in  the  play  are  Edwin  Markham,  the  great  poet;  Hudson  Maxim,  the  famous 
inventor,  and  Judge  Frederick  E.  Crane  of  the  Court  of  Appeals  of  New  York  State.  Most  of  the  scenes 
will  be  filmed  in  and  around  the  Brewster  place  at  Roslyn,  L.  I.,  and  the  making  of  the  picture  will  be  con- 
tinued well  into  September.  Each  issue  of  every  one  of  our  several  publications  will  hereafter  contain 
interesting  news  of  the  progress  of  the  play. 

Put  yourself  to  the  test.  You  have  exactly  the  same  chance  to  make  good  as  any  of  the  very  best  known 
stars  on  the  screen  today  have.  Send  in  your  photograph  and  let  us  decide  whether  or  not  you  have 
screen  possibilities.

The 

Possibilities 
in  every 
Woman's 
Face 


THE   soft,  appealing   charm    of  a 
fresh,  lovely  skin — of  course.,  you 
want  it.  Every  girl  does.  Every  girl 
wants  to  be  attractive, lovable, admired — 

And  unless  your  skm  is  right,  nothing  is 
right.  Haven't  you  often  felt  that.'  What 
use  to  wear  the  prettiest  frock,  if  your 
skin  is  pale  and  lifeless,  marred  by  black- 
heads or  ugly  little  blemishes? 

You  can  make  your  skin  so  noticeably 
soft,  so  exquisitely  fresh  and  clear,  that  at 
first  glance  it  will  awaken  admiration  and 
delight.  By  studying  it — learning  its  pos- 
sibilities— then  giving  it  every  day  the 
kind  of  care  that  suits  its  particular  needs, 
you,  too,  can  win  the  charm  of  "a  skin 
you  love  to  touch." 

Is  your  skin  pale,  sallow,  lifeless;'  Be- 
gin tonight  to  give  it  the  special  steam 
treatment  and  see  how  quickly  you  can 
rouse  it  to  freshness  and  color. 

One  or  two  nights  a  week  fill  your 
wash-bowl  full  of  hot  water — almost  boil- 
ing hot.  Bend  over  the  top  of  the  bowl 
and  cover  your  head  and  the  basin  with  a 
heavy  bath  towel,  so  that  no  steam  can  es- 
cape. Steam  your  face  for  thirty  seconds. 

Now  lather  a  hot  cloth  with  Wood- 
'jury's  Facial  Soap.  With  this,  wash  your 


face  thoroughly,  rubbing  the  lather  well 
in  to  your  skin  with  an  upward  and  outward 
motion.  Then  rinse  your  face  well,  first 
with  warm  water,  then  with  cold,  and 
finish  by  rubbing  it  for  thirty  seconds 
with  a  piece  of  ice.      Dry  carefully. 

The  other  nights  of  the  week  wash  your 
face  thoroughly  in  the  Woodbury  way, 
with  Woodbury's  Facial  Soap  and  warm 
water,  ending  with  a  dash  of  cold  water. 

A  special  treatment  for  each  different 
type  of  skin 

This  is  only  one  of  the  famous  Wood- 
bury treatments  for  the  care  of  the  skin. 
You  will  find  special  treatments  for  each 
different  skin  condition  in  the  little  book- 
let that  is  wrapped  around  each  cake  of 
Woodbury's  Facial  Soap. 

Get  a  cake  to  day — begin,  tonight,  the 
treatment  your  skin  needs.  Woodbury's 
Facial  Soap  is  on  sale  at  all  drug  stores 
and  toilet  goods  counters  in  the  United 
States  and  Canada.  A  25  cent  cake 
lasts  for  a  month  or  six  weeks  of  any 
treatment,  or  for  general  cleansing  use.

MAY  ALLISON 

One  of  the  stars  on  the  Metro  banner,  Miss  Allison's  ability  as  a  comedienne 
is  as  unusual  as  her  blonde  beauty.  She  has  just  completed  "Held  in  Trust,"  in  which 
she  is  ssiid  to  have  done  her  best  work.

aiitoiiKihili.'  .IS  over  the  script  of  hi- 
next  picture  I'robably  much  more, 
Harron  has  too  many  interests  to  be 
what  you  call  an  actor.  An  actor  has 
only  one   interest — himself." 

Harron  takes  himself  far  frr.m  scn- 
ouslv.  They  tell  an  interesting,'  story 
at  the  ( iriffith  studios  anent  this  qual- 
ity. The  press  agent  had  put  over  a 
IMiblicitv  .stunt  about  Harron  ami. 
armed  with  the  newspaper  clipping, 
came  in  triumph  to  show  it.  Harron 
took  the  clipping.  The  back  of  it 
caught  his  eye  and  he  began  laughing 
over  a  comic  story  of  a  police  court 
case.  Finishing  it,  he  calmly  dropped 
the  clipping  and  walked  back  before 
the  camera.  Xever  a  thought  about 
hiuLself ! 

Harron  is  a  difficult  subject  to  in- 
terview. He  simply  wont  talk  about 
Bobbie  Harron.  And  yet  his  story  is 
a  fa.scinating  one — for  he  is  a  veritable 
prodigy  of  the  photoplay. 

Years  ago — we  wont  be  too  exact — 
but  it  was  before  the  film  play  of  to- 
day, I  iriffith  was  a  struggling  play- 
wright-actor who  had  never  heard  of 
the  liiograph  studio,  then  located  at 
\'o.  11  East  14th  Street. 

Harron  was  a  student  at  St. 
Joseph  Parochial  School  close  by.  The 


BOBKIK  H.\KRo.\'  is  soon 
to  be  a  star.  We  arc 
violating  noconfidences 
in  telling,  we  believe. 
When  the  unassuming  I'.ob- 
bie  goes  into  the  electric 
lights  it  will  l)e  the  ultimate 
step  in  a  singular  career. 
For  Bobbie  has  never 
sought  success  in  the  films.

FREDERICK   JAMES   SMITH 


I'.icinrapli  Company  secured  its  minor  employees  by 
.•il)ph  iii^  to  tile  academy.  In  the  course  of  events, 
llarnm  ami  a  lad  named  Jinimic  Smith  were  sent 
over  to  the  lliograpli  studio,  by  the  i^ood  fathers. 
That  was  in  1*X)7.  They  went  to  work  in  the  film 
cuttint;  room,  [iminie  Smith  is  now  'iriffith's  chief 
cutter. 

llarron  moved  on  t(j  doing  all  sorts  of  odd  jobs 
around  the  studio,  .\cting,  however,  was  far  from 
his  thoujjhts. 

"Then  (iriffith  came,"  he  says.  "1  remember 
those  first  days  very  well.  .\t  the  start,  he  wrote 
scenarios  and  played  as  an  e.\tra.  Then  he  deve 
o])cd  to  'heavies'  under  the  direction  of  Wallace 
Mcl'utcheon's  father,  at  that  time  a  I'iograph 
ihrector.  Soon  he  w.is  {^iven  a  chance  to  direct 
and,  with  his  first  picture.  '  The  .Adventures  of 
Dolly,  lie  established  himself.  I  hat  first  picture 
was  staged  up  near  L'it>  Island,  not  far  from  the 
new  (irilfith  Mamaroneck  studios.  " 

brom  t  h  e  entrance  o  f 
( iriffith,  fortune  began  to 
shape  Harron's  career.  He 
was  literally  pushed  into 
success.  "That  b  o  y  .  "  as 
they  called  1'.  o  b  b  i  e  .  was 
pressed  into  service  in  tin\ 


Harron  takes  himself  far 
from  seriously.  He  is  a  dif- 
ficult subject  to  interview, 
for  he  simply  wont  talk 
about  himself.  Yet  his  story 
is  a  fascinating  one,  for  he  is 
a  veritable  prodigy  of  the 
photoplay 


roles.  Lillian  (iisli  once  told  us 
that  her  earliest  memory  of  Bob- 
bie was  of  a  queer  lad  acting  a 
bit  and  devoting  the  rest  of  the 
(lav  to  sweeping  up  and  doing 
odd  chores  around  the  I'our- 
teenth  Street  studio. 

Thus    it    comes   about    that    a 

mere  boy  can  speak  like  a  white 

whiskered    patriarch    about    the 

screen  s  palm\  days.     I 'or  instance,  he  remembers  when  he  "delivered  films 

to  a  man  nanted  l.oew  miming  a  little  place  over  on  Second  .\\enue."     The 

m;m  named  l.oew  turned  out  to  be  Marcus  l.oew. 

remembers  one  decidediv  interesting  incident.  It  seems  that  the  outer 
(lortals  of  the  old  riiograi>h  studio  were  then  guarded  by  an  iron- willed 
feminine  tartar  who  never  relented  an  inch. 

One  dav,  David  (iriffith  was  coming  down  the  studio  steps  when  he  heard 
the  dragon  saving  in  sugary  tones.  "I'.ut,  honey.  I  cant!"  Ciriffith  paused 
in  amazement  and  listened.  Then  another-  and  \ery  girlish  voice — pro- 
tested. "How  is  he  ever  going  to  know  whether  or  not  he  wants  me  when 
he  isn't  allowed  to  see  me'"  .\nd  then  the  dr;igon  responded:  "Well,  dearie, 
do  what  I  can." 
Right    then   and   there   (  .riffitb    says   he   decided   to   engage   the   imknown.

("ilorious  ladies  and  handsome

The    most   glorious   of   all    the 
glorious  ladies  and  the  most  dash-

slowly  from  sight,  clasped  in  each

'The    F.nd"    was    written  —  and 
then — the  blank  white  screen.     A 
faint  click  almost  broke  the  heavy

slipped  noiselessly  behind

closed  the  door  on  the  luxu-

on  the  back  of  the  man  who 
sat   lost  in  the  maze  of  the

There  wa.s  a  .small  group  of  quaintly 
garbed  ])eople  nio\  ing  stiffly  about  a 
room  so  ludicrous  in  its  attempt  to 
imitate  with  [lastehoard,  pap'ur-nutchc 
and  tinsel  the  s]ileiidor  of  a  (|ueen's 
drawing-room  that  it  brought  the 
tears  of  laughter  to  his  eyes.  He  saw 
himself,  made  \\\>  as  a  senile  old  man, 
tho  at  that  time  he  had  staggered 
under  the  mighty  weight  of  twenty- 
five  years ;  dashing  to  and  fro  on  the 
set,  acting,  directing  and  reading 
from  his  own  manuscript,  all  at  once. 

Another  |)icture    from   the   camera 
of  memory  Hickereil  across  the  screen  : 
he  .saw   himself   at   his   desk,    writing

would  be  down  at  tlie  studioand.  stand-

He  recalled  one  bright  morning 
when  he  had  hurried  across  the 
crowded  studio  to  a  large  open  win- 
dow and  had  called  out  some  direc- 
tions to  a  group  of  more  or  less  indif- 
ferent carpenters  down  in  the  yard 
who  were  building  Solomon's  Temple 
for  the  last  set.  which  had  to  be 
taken  that  afternoon.  As  he  turned 
(juickly  back,  he  knocked  down  a 
small,  dark-eyed  child  who  wore  a 
hea\y  pigtail  of  hair  down  her  back. 


She  had  been 
gazing  intently 
at  a  group  of 
actors,  and  had 
been  so  absorbed 
that  she  had 
failed  to  notice 
the  director  as 
he  hurried  ]iast 
ht-r.  The  child 
c|uielly  i)ickeil 
herself  up  and 
continued  her 
earnest  inspection  ot  the  ])layers.  Her 
mother  was  standing  nearby,  and  the  di- 
rector, attracted  by  the  beauty  and  iutercsi 
of  the  child.  ;isked  the  mother  if  the  chiUl 
could  be  used  in  tlie  picture.  The  mother 
consented,  and  the  little  girl  ])ut  her  foot 
on  the  first  rung  of  the  ladder,  on  the  top 
of  which  she  now  sits  in  undisputed  jios- 
session  and  gladdens  the  world  with  her 
talent.  The  little-girl-of-the-i)igtail  \\a^ 
Norma  Talmadge ! 

A  succession  of  the  old  jiuiiils  whom  lie 
had  started  on  the 
rocky  road  to  success 
flashed  across'  the 
screen.  The  mobile 
face  of  Florence  Tur- 
ner smiled  wistfully 
from  the  screen,  fol- 
lowed by  the  queenly 
Julia  Swayne  Gor- 
don, the  intrepid 
F.dith  Storey,  the 
blonde  head  of  Claire 
Williams,  the  won- 
derful dimi'les  of  Lil-

Mabel  Normand.  the 
great-eyed  Clara 
Kimball  Young,  the 
unusual  beauty  of

the  prettiness  of  little

lenging a  not-indiffer-

as  he  recal

lied  the  universal  adoration  which 
thev  had  received  from  all  parts  of  the  world. 

The  sigh  vanished  promjnly  as  the  immor-

the  screen,  followed  in  close  jiursuit  by  the 
angular  form  of  Flora  Finch.  livery  a|)pear-

way.  But  if  you  didn't  want 
to  look  at  it  that  way.  every- 
thing was  entirely  as  it 
should  be. 

There  is,  around  a  studio, 
an  air  of  comradeship  .  .   . 


a  sort  of  all-this-is- 
in-the-family       tone 
that  is  in  every  wa\ 
delightful.     I. 'it  tie 
remarks,   made  jok- 
ingly,  that   have   no 
meaning       whatever 
unless     an     outsider 
hears     them,     when 
they    suddenly   be- 
come   absurdly    im-

playing   with    them- 
selves and  with  each 
other.      Some    c\en 
drift   so    far   a  w  a  y

they  lose  touch  with

more  wise,  tie  them- 
selves  to   something 
so  genuine  that   the 
breath  of  artificiality 
can   ne\er   touch    it. 
This  is  what  Stone  has  done  in  keeping  the  theater  out 
of  his  home.     (  )therwise.  he  would  inevitably  see  his 
])rofession   become  the   principal   interest    in   the  lives 
of  his  two   little  girls.      He  would   never,   for  ;ui   in-

I  WAS  looking  over  fan 
mail  in  the  publicity 
office  of  the  Kathei- 
ine  MacDonalH  studio, 
waiting  for  some  one  to 
ascertain  if  the  lovely 
star  was  on  the  lot,  and 
among    the    enveloi>es 

whose  postmarks  I  perused  was  one  addressed  to 
"Miss  Katherine  MacDonald,  A.B.'' 

"Ah.  the  fair  Katherine  is  a  college  graduate,  and 
this  letter  is  from  a  classmate,"  I  Sherlocked  to 
myself,  and  so  sure  was  I  of  the  accuracy  of  my  deductions 
that  almost  the  first  question  I  asked  of  Miss  MacDonald. 
whom  I  found  dressed  in  negligee  in  the  semi-privacy  of  an 
elaborate  bedroom  set.  was,  "And  where  did  you  take  your 
degree  of  A.R. ':" 

Miss  MacDonald  looked  blank.  She  denied  having  taken 
such  a  thing. 

"Rut  it  was  on  a  letter!"  I  insisted.  "Right  after  your 
name,  the  initials.  '.\.B.'  '' 

The  beautiful  Katherine — she's  exactly  the  kind  of  a  girl 
that  Shakespeare  would  have  called  "my  bonny  Kate"- — threw 
back  her  head  and  laughed  merrily  and-  unaffectedly.  .\nd 
the  line  of  her  throat  when  she  did  it ! 

"Oh,  that  I"  she  said,  sobering  enough  to  explain  her  out- 
burst of  mirth  ;  "that  was  from  a  Japanese  fan.  You  know, 
they  use  my  pictures  with  a  rose  and  the  slogan  of  'The 
.\merican  Beauty.'  My  Japanese  admirers  seem  to  think  it's 
an  honorary  title,  so  they  use  the  initials  after  my  name." 
I   wanted  to   tell   her  that   the   Japanese   were  evidently  a  ,■

people  of  rare  di.scernment,  but  I  didn't  want 
to   gush.      Interviewers   are    supposed    to   be 
blase  and  beauty-proof,  but  I  defy  any  one  to 
look    upon    the   perfect    oval    of    Katherine's 
countenance,    with    its   serious   eyes   of   grey 
shaded    by    the    longest   and    thickest    lashes 
imaginable,  a  mouth  shaped  like  Eros'  bow,  for 
the  subjugation  of  human  hearts,  and  not  get 
a  thrill  somewhere  deep  in  the  left  ventricle. 
Even   in   the   hideous   glare   of   the   deceitful 
Klieg  lights  she  was  beautiful.    My  own  face, 
as  I  was  acutely  conscious,  was  a  dyspeptic 
green,  set  off  with  jiurple  lips  and  magenta 
eyes.     But  hers,  ])rotected   from  the  spiteful 
lights  by  a  coating  of  cosmetic,  was  a  creamy 
white,  and  her  grey  eyes  were  only  deepened 
in  color.   Her  hair,  which  is  soft  and  brown,  fell 
about  her  face  in  enchanting  little  waves  and 
lay  caressingly  on  her  shoulders  in  unpremedi- 
tated curls.     When  she  turned  her  face  in  a 
certiiin  way,  F  caught  a  fleeting  resemblance  to 
her  sister,  Mary  McLaren. 
"I  hope  you   dont  mind 
my    receiving   you    in    my 
boudoir.''  she  shivered,  as 
.she  gathered   her   negligee 
closer  around  her  and  hud- 
dled up  by  a  tiny  gas  stove 
which  was  doing  its  best  to 
dispel   the   chilly   atmos- 
phere of  an  un-California- 
like  day,  while  the  .studio 
electricians   shifted  lights 
on  the  set. 

"We   are   making   'The 
Guests  of  Hercules,'  "  she 
went  on,   tucking  a   satin- 
shod   foot  under  her  for 
warmth,  "and  this  is  one  of 
the  guest  rooms  of  the  an- 
cestral   castle   which    is 
willed  to  me." 
Her  voice.  I  noticed,  had 
none   of   the    inflections 
or    broad    a's    which

diarniing. 

"Pictures?"  she 
echoed,  as  I  broached 
the  time-worn  but  neces- 
sary question  as  to  how 
slie  "got  in." 

"Well,  to  tell  the 
truth,  1  was  pushed  in. 
I  never  had  the  slightest 
idea  of  going  into  the 
movies;  in  fact,  I  con- 
sidered them  quite  com- 
mon and  altogether  un- 
attractive. Of  course,  I 
was  interested  in  Mary's 
work,  but  for  myself — 
whv,  I  was  going  to  be 
a  school-teacher."  .She 
fniished  with  a  reminis- 
cent smile. 

"'Phat's  hard  luck  for 
some,  school,"  1  ob- 
served, but  she  shook 
lier  head  and  gazed  into 
the  tire. 

"Oh,  I  dont  know —

straighten  out  some  le-

and  stayed  to  kec])  house

iitTered  me  thirty  dollars  a  week.  Well.  I  had  nothing  else  to 
do,  so  I  started  in.  For  many  weeks  I  ])layed  'atmos])here' 
bits  and  held  up  the  back  curtain  while  the  real  actors  emoted 
in  front,  but  the  studio  uas  rather  ]ioorly  equi])ped  with  help, 
so  I  was  a  sort  of  general  ]iroperty  woman.  1  helped  'dress' 
the  sets,  arranged  the  Howers  for  all  of  them,  and  when  extra 
'props'  were  needed,  I'd  take  my  car  and  run  over  to  the  house 
and  bring  back  a  load  of  vases,  rugs,  curtains  and  everything 
you  could  think  of." 

1  could  not  help  looking  about  the  nllra-modern  studio  with 
its  elaborate  sets,  perfect  in  construction  and  detail,  and  re- 
flecting that  they  were  for  her  very  own  productions,  b'rom

" V^ou're  making  a  mistake !"  chorused  the  tlushed  fenii- 

X  ninities  after  having  showered  Janie  Wakeman  with 
all  the  extraordinaries  in  the  way  of  aluminum  they 
had  found  purchasable  if  not  practicable;  "a  terr-i-ble 
mistake,"  they  intoned. 

"Not  me!"  snapped  Janie  Wakeman.  She  had  a  snappy 
way,  had  Janie. 

"He's  a  devil  with  the  ladies!"  went  on  tlie  chief  mourn- 
ers, dolorously. 

"He'll  have  a  devil  for  a  wife,"  came  back  Janie,  with 
pursed  lips;  "that'll  cure  him." 

"Not  Jack  .  .  .  there  was  the  blonde  down  at  the  beach 
'ummer  before  last  ...  he  had  a  fierce  time  over  that. 
She" — the  fair  informant  lowered  her  voice  meaningly — 
'she  was  married!" 

"Old  stuff!"  said  Janie. 

"There  was  the  girl  on  the  Pullman  car,"  suggested  still 
another ;  "her  father  stepped  in  .   .   . " 

"There  was  the  girl  who  waits  on  the  table  in  Wild's,  " 
vouchsafed  another;  "Jack  cant  eat  there  any  longer.  Oh, 
Janie,  darliny,  you'll  have  a  fearful  life,  simply  fearful!" 

"All  this,"  observed  Janie,  stirring  her  chocolate  coolly, 
"was  before  my  time  and  does  not  concern  me." 

"But,  Janie,"  they  protested,  en  masse,  "what  makes  you 
suppose  you  will  be  any  different  than  the  others  ?  He  i.v 
a  flirt.  He's  fickle.  He's  inconstant  and  unsteady. 
F.verybody  says  so." 

"Everybody."  said  Janie.  "does  not  have  to  marry  him. 
Nor,  I  might  add,  has  he  married  everybody.  /  am  the 
first.  /  shall  be  the  last.  .Ml  that  is  necessary,  my  dears, 
is  efficiency  in  the  marital  relationship.  I  am  young,  but  oh, 
how  I  am  wise,  "  she  added,  softly,  "when  it  comes  to 
Jack.  "  She  said,  aloud,  ""Jack  .shall  neither  break  my  heart 
nor  my  home.    Wait  and  see !" 

They  wailed.  Then  they  waifed  some  more.  It  was 
unbelievable.  Jack  Valentine  had  never  been  known  to 
walk  a  straight  line  on  the  street  when  a  pretty  girl  was 
on  the  other  side.  ,\fter  his  marriage  to  Janie  he  seemed 
to  be  of  the  n.Ttine  of  a  sleep-walker;  his  eyes  were  fixed. 
It  was  magic,  they  said. 

Janie  took  it  calmly  and  rather  irritatingly  to  many  of 
her  prenuptial  well-wishers.  She  had  the  air  of  "I  told 
you  so!"  .Some  went  so  far  as  to  say  that  they  pitied  poor, 
dear  Jack  ...  his  home  life  must  be  something  awful! 
They  began  to  remember  the  autocracy  of  Janie  with  hei 
humble  parents.  .After  Janie's  advent,  it  was  recalled,  the 
parents,  well-meaning  always,  had  had  little  if  anything  to 
say.  Of  course,  they  had  seemed  to  like  it,  but  then,  they 
had  been  |)arents  .    .    .   that  is  different   .    .    .

He  was  greeted  by  an  apj>arition 
that  made  his  amative  blood  con- 
geal. His  wife,  his  Janie.  stooij 
on  the  threshold  of  tbe  living- 
room  and  her  blue  eyes  blazed  in 
her  head  like  twin  coals.  She 
was  sobbing  hot,  indignant  tears 
an<l  her  small  lists  were  beating 
the  air  in  a  ihoroly  efficient  sort  of  manner. 

"Dont  you  dare  .  .  .  d-d-dont  you  d-d-dare!"  she  sput- 
tered, effectively.  "I  .saw  you!  I  did!  You  w-wretch !

With  my  own  eyes.  O-o-o-o-h  !" 
Jack  waved  a  limp  hand.  It  was  no  use. 
"I  was  on  top  of  a  Fifth  .\venue  bus,"  formed  on  Janie, 
"riding  along  and  thinking  how  I'd  gel  down  pretty  soon  and 
buy  you  some  ties  I  saw  in  liudd's.  Then,  all  at  once.  1  saw

'R-r-r-r-r  .        .   a-a-a-a-a-h   ..." 

"John  X'alentine.  if  yr)u  say  another  word  I'll  hurl  every

Janie  choked,  but  waved  her  fists  fiercely  to  caution  the 
ghastiv   lohn  to  a  complete  silence. 


'You  got  in  after  her,"  she  went  on,  "and  I  got  down  and 
got  into  another  taxi  and  followed  you.  You  took  her  to  her 
very  door,  and  at  that  door,  you  .    .   .  you  ..." 

Something  between  a  groan,  a  squeak  and  a  whine  emanated 
from  the  nearly  coUajised  Valentine.  He  swayed  weakly  and 
rested  his  palm  on  the  nearest  sujiport. 

"You  kist  her,"  shrieked  Janie,  "you  did  I  Before  my  eyes! 
Kist  her!  I  call  heaven  to  witness  if  a  fal.ser  wretch  ever  lived 
or  breathed !  I  call  on  all  the  gods !  I  am  wronged !  I  am  a 
wronged  woman!  Heavens!"  Janie  gave  three  tremendous 
sobs,  then  she,  too.  crumpled  up  and  fell  into  the  chair  behind 
her.  "John  T.  Valentine."  she  said,  "what  are  vou  going 
to  dof' 

John  T.  Valentine  made  a  desperate  endeavor  to  appear  as 
tlio  he  filled  at  least  some  portion  of  his  clothing.  During  the 
tirade  he  seemed  perceptibly  to  have  wilted.  He  felt  of  his 
collar,  of  his  hair,  even  ran  his  fingers  over  the  outline  of  his 
features  to  make  certain  they  had  not  altered;  then  he  said, 
with  great  adequacy,  "Janet,  you  know   I  1-love  you." 

This  i)roduced  an  emotional  Niagara,  terrific  in  its  on- 
slaught, to  the  eye  and  to  the  ear.  .\nother  hour  and  Janie 
demanded,  albeit  "more  weakly.  "John  T.  Valentine,  what  are 
you  going  to  doi"' 

John  T.  \'alentine  crejit  over  to  the  couch  upon  which  the 
sharer  of  his  bosom  was,  by  now,  drooping.  He  tentatively 
touched  the  hem  of  her  flowing  garment.  The  night  was 
creeping  on  apace.  He  was  cowed  ;  he  was  subdued  ;  he  was 
convinced  that  lie  had  trod  <iown  and  S|>lintered  the  ten  com- 
mandments and  that,  no  doubt,  he  would  have  done  damage  to 
ten  ]norc  had  there  been  that  number;  but  he  was  also  sleepy 
and  he  knew  that  he  hated  with  a  frightful  and  bloodthirsty 
vengeance  the  blonde  on  the  .Avenue  who  had  seemed  to  him. 
at  that  moment,  unable  to  carry  her  suitcase,  and  to  whom, 
probablv  because  she  was  blonde,  he  had  tendered  his  assis- 
tance, and  he  knew  as  c'early  that  he  was  violently  sleepy  and 
that  he  adored  Janie.     If  she  could  know  these  things,  too!

CLASSIC 


He  began  to  tell  lier.  He  l>eKan  w  conjure  up  tlieir  itnmi- 
nent  and  tender  past. 

The  result  was  horrihc.  It  produced  dolor  not  unmixed 
with  temper  and  resulted,  all  told,  in  four  smashed  vases, 
rather  jolly  vases  at  that ;  the  complete  destruction  of  the 
family  album,  with  all  the  grandmas  and  grandpas  ;  three  pic- 
tures ;  two  glass  trifles  and  various  carefully  selected  books. 
With  each  crash  Janie  would  wail,  "You've  broken  my  heart, 
you  have!  You  have,  you've  broken  my  heart!"  until  John  T. 
felt,  with  a  shudder  thru  his  spine,  that  he  could  hear  the 
agonizing  splintering  of  Janie's  beloved  and  agonized  little 
heart. 

He  suffered. 

.\round  morning  they  fell  asleep. 

The  result  was  breakfast  at  noon,  with  considerable  marma- 
lade, a  chastened  husband,  a  weepy  but  pictures(|uely  forgiving 
little  bride. 

Of  course,  a  second  honeymoon  ensued.  It  was  altogether 
blissful.  It  had  a  .savor  the  original  one  had  not.  They  had, 
they  knew,  suffered  together  and  had  "come  thru."  Jack  had 
sinned,  had  strayed  from  the  fold.  It  gave  him,  Janie  half 
admitted  it,  very  .secretly,  to  herself,  a  sort  of  glamor,  a  new, 
if  dangerous,  garment  of  illusion.  Janie.  on  the  other  hand, 
had  forgiven.  In  reality,  she  had  fallen  asleep,  but  p.shaw ! 
What  is  reality  when  one  is  twenty  and  very  much  in  love .' 

There  followed  another  interlude. 

"Have  you  eirr."  said  everyhoily,  'known'  such  an  ideal 
couple  as  the  Jack  \'alentines '  They  w  ere  made  for  one 
another.  " 

Then,  abruptly,  it  became  known  that  Janie  \'alentine  had 
gone  home  to  mother.  Had  picked  u])  every  belonging  she 
owned  and  gone  clean  back. 

That  was  all  that  did  become  known.  Janie  was  mum.  .She 
took  her  efficiency  and  her  silence  into  her  father's  business 
offices  and  proceeded  to  be  successful.  The  only  mail  she  did 
not  read  were  the  letters  she  received  in  John's  handwriting. 
These  she  tore  up  into  little,  vicious  bits,  lit  a  match  and  com- 
pletely removed 
from  being.  The 
only  'phone  mes- 
sages she  did  not 
personally  receive 
were  those  made 
by  John.  These 
she  either  did  not 
receive  at  all  or 
transferred  to  an- 
other line  upon 
recognition  of  the 
voice. 

Go.s.sip  said  that 
Janie  Valentine 
had  "changed." 
There  was  a  little 
glint  in  her  eyes 
that  had  not  been 
there  before. 
There  was  a  .slight 
lightening  of  her 
mouth.  When  she 
walked,  now  and 
then  her  shoul- 
ders drooped  as 
tho  she  were  car- 
rying a  burden 
ever  so  slightly 
too  much  for  her 
strength. 

When  she 
,1  w  o  k  e  in  t li e 
mornings  her  pil- 
low- was  always 
damp.  No  one 
hut  Janie  k  n  e  w 
that. 


It  had  all  been  about  a  manicure  girl.  .\  rather  opulent 
creature  with  a  hearty  laugh. 

Janie  bad  been  in  the  habit  of  having  the  girl  come  to  the 
house  to  do  her  nails  every  Saturday  morning.  One  day  Jack 
suggested  that  he  rather  needed  a  manicure  himself.  Janie 
suggested  that  her  Mabel  do  them  for  him.  Jack  assented. 
.\fter  the  first  manicure.  Jack  took  to  having  them  as  regularly 
as  Janie.  At  first,  Janie  was  unsuspicious.  Jack  had  been, 
since  the  taxicab  catastrophe,  so  completely  uxorious.  Then, 
one  day,  while  he  was  being  "done,"  Janie  had  caught  a  look 
in  his  eyes.  It  was  the  old  battle  light.  .\t  once  she  was  on 
her  guard. 

Jack  was  a  transparent  person.  The  next  time  he  had  an 
appointment  for  a  manicure,  Janie  had  occasion  to  go  out  .  .  . 
for  a  while  .  .  .  When  she  returned,  rather  suddenly  and 
very  quietly,  her  husband  was  not  being  .    .    .   manicured  .    .   . 

One  hour  later,  to  the  minute,  Janie  went  home  to  mother. 

This  time,  her  methods  were  very  different. 

There  was  no  weeping,  no  wailing,  no  gnasliing  of  teeth. 
There  was  no  reviling,  no  accusations,  no  protestations.  Jack 
wished,  tragically,  that  there  were.  Just  silence.  Cirim  silence, 
(jlacial.  Totally  unforgiving.  Her  small,  white  face  .  .  . 
how  stern!  Her  hurried,  yet  precise  pre)iarations,  how  final! 
Jack  bit  his  manicure  away  and  cursed  the- fragile  sex!  His 
advances,  his  pleas,  his  self-condemnations  were  met  with  a 
frigid  aloofness,  not  so  sad  as  it  was  sweet,  nor  .so  sweet  as  it 
was  sad.  Jack  was  minded  of  the  lines.  "But.  sweet,  for  me, 
no  more  of  you,  not  while  I  Ifve,  not  tho  I  die,  good-night, 
good-by !" 

His   soul   was   swept   and   scarred   and   seared   by   a   knowl- 
edge, a  revelation,  of  his  torren- 
tial  love   for  Janie!      ("lods,   how 
he  loved  her  !     It  ached  ! 

Janie  became  exceedingly  busi- 
nesslike. She  took  to  wearing 
severe-looking  garments  and 
talking     like    a     profiteer.       The

worse  her  heartache  and  the  (ismver  her  pillow  in  the  morn- 
ing, the  more  she  talked  and  the  more  severe  she  grew.  Her 
parents  led  a  rather  terrible  life.  They  had  always  been  some- 
what in  awe  of  Janie,  single;  now  that  she  was  come  home  in 
her  new  state,  she  was  truly  terrible.  They  had  not  an  inkling 
of  the  quaking  heart  within  the  firmly  girded  breast. 

It  took  John  T.  two  months  to  gain  admission  to  the  rather 
important   place  Janie   had  made    for  herself  in   her   father's 
importing  house.     He  had,  finally,  to  .see  her  by  appointment. 
It  was  an  ordeal  he  did  not  soon  forget. 

Janie  talked  to  him  as  his  grandmother  might  have  talked, 
as  some  remote  and  distant  great-aimt  might  have  talked  to  a 
foolish  nephew  who  had  foolishly  strayed  from  the  safe  and 
beaten  way.  She  didn't  talk  one  bit  like  his  Janie,  who  had 
lain,  with  tumbled  curls  and  love-flushed  face,  within  his 
cradling  arms.  He  had  to  focus  his  vision  and  pinch  himself 
to  make  sure  this  new  Janie  was  also  his  old  Janie.  _the  Janie 
he  loved  .   .   . 

"...  are  the  paths  of  righteousness  which,  alone,  bring 
peace  and  eventual  happiness,"  Janie  was  ending  up.  She  had 
been  going  it  in  such  a  wise  for  the  better  part  of  an  hour. 

Jack  gulped  mightily.  He  had  not  many  re.sources,  had 
Jack.  He  wai^lovable,  but  not  subtle.  If,  now,  he  could  only 
have  taken  the  terribly  stern  young  person  and  cuddled  her 
and  kist  her  absurd  frown  away  and  called  her  oogly-googly 

and  such  like  familiar-sounding 
things,  he  could  have  won  out. 
He  was,  lie  felt,  deprived  of  his 
weapons  and  left  defenceless. 
He  could  only  say,  with  thinly 
shredded  adequacy,  "Janie,  I  .  .  . 
I  1-love  you !"  Under  the  stern 
appraisement  of  her  eyes  his  own 
fell  and  he  fidgeted. 


"You  kist  her!"  shrieked 
Janie.  "You  did!  Before 
my  eyes!  Kist  her!  I  call 
to  heaven  to  witness  if  a 
falser  wretch  ever  lived 
or  breathed!  I  call  on  all 
the  gods!  I  am  wronged! 
I  am  a  wronged  woman!" 


"Love,  young  man.  "  said  Janie.  'is  a  science.  It  should  be 
treated  as  such.  f)ne  does  not  toy  with  science,  lest  one  toy. 
inadvertently,  with  a  high  explosive.  Love,  voung  man,  is 
such  an  one.     Love  ..." 

'Oh,  Janie,"  burst  forth  Jack,  "Janie  .  .  .  please  .  .  .  re 
member.  Janie,  that's  all  I  ask  of  you.  Just  sit  there  for  five, 
for  ten  minutes,  and  remember.  Remember  just  as  hard  as 
ever  you  can.  Our  first  meeting,  Janie,  our  second,  our  .  .  . 
our  third.  You  do  remember  our  third,  dont  you,  dar  .  .  . 
er  .  .  .  dont  you,  Janie?  We  took  a  walk  ...  we  ...  we 
didn't  keep  on  walking  .  .  .  you  do,  Janie,  I  .see  it  in  your 
face  .  .  .  then,  that  night,  you  kist  the  ring  I  slipped  on  your 
hand  ....  you  were  all  .  .  .  well,  go  on.  Janie,  just  for  five 
minutes.  " 

After  precisely  three  and  three-quarter  minutes  Janie  had 
crumpled  in  her  official  chair,  the  crisp  attire  was  flooded  with 
tears  and  there  was  none  of  Janie  to  be  seen  at  all.  She  was 
completely  engulfed  by  John. 

.\n  hour  after  that  she  had  severed  her  business  connections, 
dispen.sed  with  home  and  mother  and  was  busily  rehabilitating 
herself  in  her  husband's  home. 

There  was,  of  course,  a  third  honeymoon.  There  would 
have  had  to  be.  They  had  become  a  man  and  a  woman  of 
.sorrows.  They  conducted  themselves  as  such.  It  was  tinged 
with  melancholy,  this  third  honeymoon.  There  was  much  talk 
of  the  frailty  of  human  nature  and,  on  Janie's  part  at  least, 
very  much  talk  indeed  of  the  consummate  greatness  of  a 
woman's  enduring  and  all-forgiving  love. 

.Still,  Jack  knew,  it  had  been  a  capitulation  on  Janie's  part. 
He  was  only  human.  He  began  to  give  himself  airs  and,  as  it 
were,  to  look  about  him.  He  began  to  believe  that  he  was. 
after  all  Janie's  taunts  and  threats,  the  master  in  his  own 
domain.  Twice  now,  with  just  a  little  coaxing,  Janie  had  crept 
back  into  the  fold.     .She  probably  alwavs  would. 


I  Thirty) 


CLASSIC 


Jack  began  to  strut 
about.  He  felt  more  like 
other  men.  His  wife,  so 
he  attitudinized,  was  only 
a  woman  .    .    .  tish,  tosh! 

He  attitudinized  in  such 
a  manner  for  six  weeks. 
One  day,  presto,  change ! 
he  found  himself  a  bache- 
lor again.  He  had  a  habit 
of  so  doing.  His  Janie 
was  gone  oft'.  This  time 
she  did  not  do  so  temper- 
ate a  thing  as  to  make  it 
home  and  mother.  She 
went  oflf,  vaguely,  but  she 
might,  from  her  sinister 
notes,  have  gone  'most 
anywhere. 

Jack  had  the  most 
hideous  nightmares.  Now, 
at  last,  he  Iiad  gone  and 
done  it.  This — this  was 
beyond  expectation !  He 
thought  of  his  Janie  in  all 
sorts  of  terrible  situations, 
almost  always  with  a 
hlond  man  with  a  Greek- 
god  torso  and  melting 
eyes.  He  had  done  it  this 
lime ! 

He  took  to  wearing 
flowing  ties  and  affecting 
a  tragic  air.  He  wrote  to 
the  general  delivery  ad- 
dress Janie  had  left  him 
the  most  impassioned,  the 
most  desperate,  the  most 
suicidal  notes.  He  soared 
as  neither  Janie  nor  he 
had  ever  supposed  he 
could  soar  before.  He 
even  quoted  jioetry  and 
finally  got  so  bad  that  he 
composed  some.  He  took 
to  ]>laying  the  piano  and 
liintet!  jt  the  iiarp.  At 
this,  Janfe  came  home. 

Of  course,  a  fourth 
honeymoon  ensued. 

On  this  occasion  Jack 
adopted  the  attitude,  or 
felt  it  —  who  knows — of 
the  desperate  lover.  He 
l;mguished  at  his  lady's 
feet  and  mooned  into  her 

eyes.  They  talked  of  their  past  and  of  the  more  than  earthly 
thing  their  love  had  becorng,  that  it  should  lead  them,  as  it 
did,  thru  the  still  waters  And  the  dark  vallevs  unto,  as  always, 
each  other's  arms  ...

"It  all  depends  upon  the  husband,"  laughed 
Miss  Bennett,  when  I  spoke  of  this.  "You  see,

"Seriously,  it  depends  up<jn  both  husband  and

girl  as  she  curled  up  in  the  corner  of  the  big

As  she  talked,  I  found  myself  watching  the  little 
star's  expressive  face,  with  its  delicate  coloring,  deep 
blue  eyes  and  lovely  blonde  hair.  She  suggests  a  re- 
fined womanliness  which  gives  her  a  distinct  charm. 

"I  came  from  a  great  big  country,  but  a  wee  little 
town,  for  I  was  born  in  York,  Western  Australia," 
.said  Miss  Bennett,  a  little  lateV.  over  tea  and  cinnamon 
toast.  "Rather  a  coincidence  that  bred  was  born  in 
York,  too,  but  York,  Nebraska,  U.  S.  A.,  and,  much 
to  our  chagrin,  both  Yorks  are  so  small  that  they  are

I  was  in  'Salvation  Nell'  with  Minnie

Antrim,  gaily.  Then,  continuing  mod-

For  the  Soul  of 
Raphael 

Told  in  story  t'oini  from  the  Clara  Kiniball  Youiit; 
Photoplay 

By    DOROTHY    DONNELL 


TiiK  Arteaijas  had  land  aiul  gold  and  jewels,  great 
ranches  sweeping  to  the  far  foot-hills,  money 
to  buy  drink  and  velvet  jackets  and  jewels 
wherewith  to  adorn  their  proud  ladies  so  that  they 
flashed  in  a  niultic(jlored  and  cold  flame.  The  last 
of  the  Arteagas  had  today  won  a  jewel,  more 
precious  than  emeralds  and  diamonds 

Marta  Kstevan,  slim  and  white  as  one  of  the 
candles  she  had  burned  before  the  \'irgin's  shrine, 
sat  in  the  great  chamber  while  the  maids  arrayed 
her  for  her  marriage  with  Raphael  Arteaga,  the 
bridegroom  whom  she  had  seen  once  only,  and  then 
red-eyed,  jmrple  of  face,  reeking  of  the  wine  he 
had  drunk  in  honor  of  his  convent  bride  whom  his 
mother  was  bringing  from  the  Sisters  of  the  Holy 
Heartbreak  that  afternoon. 

"Yesterday."  Marta  murmured,  wonderingly. 
"how  strange  !  I  have  lived  a  long  tii  since  then." 
She  thought  of  her  shrinking  dii.gust  at  the 
\inous  kisses  of  her  aflianced,  of  old  Dona  I.uisa's 
burst  of  anger  at  the  sight  of  the  slim  golden  slipper 
under  the  refectory  table,  and  then  the  terrible 
sequel. 

Marta  shuddered  .so  that  one  of  the  girls  who 
sat  twisting  the  veil  of  the  .\rteagas  above  her  soft, 
straight,  high-piled  hair  felt  the  movement  and 
crossed  herself.  Mary  pity  a  bride  who  shudders 
upon  her  wedding  day !  Yet,  per  Dios.  she  did  not 
wonder  that  the  jioor  white  lamb  feared  that  black 
wolf.  Raphael.     .She  could  tell  her  tales 

Kut  Marta  was  not  thinking  of  Raph,iel.  Instead, 
her  brain  kept  re))eating  over  and  over  the  words 
that  she  liad  whispered  after  Dona  Luisa's  stiffen- 
ing lips  in  that  room  of  death  where  the  red  light 
of  the  sunset  lay  like  an  angry  stain  across  the 
counterpane  but  could  not  tinge  that  cold  grey  face 
with  its  glow.  "I  swear  by  the  Holy  Cross  and  the 
Sufferings  of  Our  Lord  to  stand  guard  over  tlie 
soul  of  f^aphacl  while  he  lives!"  .\  cold  wind,  with 
the  dank  odor  of  open  graves,  seemed  to  blow 
across  her.  Iho  the  room  was  stifling  with  the  odor 
of  roses  and  (dies,  and  again  she  shuddered. 

"See,    the    bride   is    ready!"    the    Mexican    girls 
cried,  fluttering  away  like  a  flock  of  gaudy  ])arra- 
keets,  to  admire  their  work,  "but."  they  whisi)ered. 
"she  is   pale — pale  as  a   cor])se!      Perhaps,   who  kntiw 
heart  is  dead  for  another " 

Raphael,  handsome  as  a  great,  black,  full-blood.ed  animal, 
gaudily  arrayed  in  a  suit  of  wine-colored  velvet  and  wearing  a 
huge  ring  on  one  finger  that  flashed  with  a  hard  light  in  the 
sun,  strode  up  and  down  the  colonnade  of  his  ranch-house, 
awai'iiig  his  bride.  A  gratified  smile  twisted  one  red  li]i- 
corner.  despite  the  fact  that  his  mother  lay  in  state  within  the 
darkened  room  in  which  he  had  been  born.  She  was  dead, 
but  one  must  die  when  one  is  old,  of  a  certainty — when  one  is 
young — ah!  One  lives!  Lives  hard,  hotly — drinking  deep 
of  the  wine  ut  pleasure. 

The  smile  grew  broader.  He  was  remembering  Marta,  the 
convent  girl  who  had  stepped  from  the  cloisters  into  his  arms, 
untaught  of  the  meaning  of  life  or  of  love — a  flower  unpicked, 
almost  unseen.  "Dios!"  swore  Raphael,  licking  his  curving, 
glossy    lips,    "my    mother   was    right.      The    .Arteagas    should

wed.  The  others — they  are  well 
enough  for  loving,  but  one  wants

never  even   seen   ,in- 


From  the  noisy  merriment 
of  the  wedding  breakfast, 
Marta  slipped  away  pres- 
ently with  a  sense  of  es- 
cape. Almost  without 
knowing  what  she  did  she 
stepped  through  the  low 
windows  to  the  balcony:

stone  stairs  and  then

shines  and  skin  as  fair  as  the  waxen  faces  of  the  images  in  the 
chapel.  There  had  been  only  one  moment  for  her  to  remember, 
a  single  flash  of  wonder  in  two  meeting  glances,  a  something 
that   seemed   to   spring   up   laughing   in   her   soul.      Rut    since

tlien  Maria  had  known  what  life 
cimlil  Ije. 

The  wf(ldin)<-hells  rang  across 
the  hacienda  with  a  brassy 
sound,  as  tho  tliey  sang  of  the 
joy  that  would  be  hers  with  false 
tongues.  .She  walked  among  the 
flowers  and  the  faces,  trembling 
thru  all  her  small,  slender  frame,  witli  look  <l(juncast  and  cold 
hands  that  were  displeasing  to  tlie  man  who  clasjicd  them  at 
the  altar.  He  liked  women  witli  life  in  them,  blood  in  their 
\eins;  women  who  could  laugh  loudly  and  swear  a  bit.  This 
girl  was  strangely  aloof.  .She  made  him  feel  too  large,  too 
clumsy.  She  reminded  him  of  tlie  chilly  saints  with  their  dis- 
dainful lijis  in  the  sacristy.  I'-ven  before  Marta  had  worn 
the  name  of  .\rtcaga  an  hour  her  bridegroom  was  already 
looking  at  another  woman,  a  tall,  rijie.  blonde  thing — a  tourist 
spending  the  summer  in  town  who  had  co!  'e  to  the  wedding 
from  bold  curiosity  and  who  stayed  to  smile  with  eyes  that 
held  hot  blue  flames  into  the  eyes  of  the  handsome  savage  who 
had  married  the  little  grey  nun. 

From  the  noisy  merriment  of  the  wedding  breakfast — the 
(lea<l  woman  listening  rigidly  in  that  darkened  chamber  up- 
stairs—  .\lart;i  sli])ped  away  presently  with  a  sense  of  escape; 
laid  off  her  sheer  gown  and  the  lace  veil,  light  as  gossamer, 
that  seemed  so  heavy  a  weight  on  her  head.  I"or  a  time  she 
brooded  alone,  gazing  down  into  the  hot  sunshine  of  the  gar- 
dens wliere  the  roses.  stec|)ed  in  tJie  glare,  swung  like  great 
censers,  flinging  off  rich  incense.  Then,  hearing  an  uncertain 
foot.step  on  the  stairs,  .she  sprang  to  her  feet   with  a  sudden 

sense  of  suffocation    -her  husband — Raphael 

Almost  without  knowing  what  she  did.  she  stepped  thru  the 
low  win<lows  to  the  balcony,  ran  along  it  to  the  steep  stone 
stairs  at  the  end  and  down.  Then  crouching  in  the  shadows, 
the  bride  of  an  hour  waited  until  her  husband's  wine-thickened 
voice  had  ceased  to  call  her  name.  Along  the  gallery  came 
other  footsteps,  light  r>nes  but  dragging.     Marta  moved  front 


her  retreat  and  came  face  to  face  with  an  Indian  girl,  almost 
a  child  in  years,  whose  slender  body  was  bent  sidewise  under 
the  weight  of  the  heavy  baby  she  carried  on  her  hip. 

There  were  tears  rolling  slowly  down  the  olive  cheeks,  dri])- 
ping  on  the  stolid  little  face  below,  and  as  Marta  looked  the 
girl  leaned  heavily  against  the  pillar  and  gave  way  to  a  low 
wailing  in  her  own  tongue. 

"Is  there  anything  I  can  do'"  she  asked  her,  gently.  "You 
seem  unhaiipy,  suffering " 

"No,  sehorita,"  the  girl  answered  humbly.  .She  sjioke  the 
li(|uid  Spani.sh  gutturally  but  understandably.  "No  one  can 
do  anything,  for  my  baby  or  for  me.  Its  father" — and  she 
touched  the  tiny  face  with  tender  fingertijis — "great  gentle- 
man. He  love  me  once.  Now  he  ride  by  and  does  not  see 
me  in  the  dust  of  his  horse's  feet.  Today" — her  voice  broke — 
"today  he  marries  a  great  lady  like  himself,  and — and — if  I 
had  not  the  wee  one  to  care  for  I  should  want  to  die.  Oh, 
Raphael — Raphael  niio " 

"Raphael!"  Rajihael's  bride  sjiokc  the  name  in  a  voice  that 
seemed  very  far  away.  She  turned,  held  out  her  hands  and 
sank  to  the  stone  pavement,  a  crumpled  little  hgure  amid  the 
ruins  of  her  life.  They  lifted  her,  carried  her  to  her  chamber 
and  iiresentiy  she  opened  her  eyes  and  shuddered  at  the  sight 
of  the  dark  face  bending  over  hers. 

"(io  away''  she  begged  him;  "go  away!  I  would  1  lay  yon- 
der dead  beside  your  mother  before  I  had  made  that  cruel 
pledge.  The  Indian  girl  is  your  real  wife — for  she  has  borne 
you  a  child " 

Raphael  laughed,  with  great,  square  white  teeth.  "Pah!"  he 
s])at.  "Wife — that  carrion  wife  to  an  .Arteaga!  'S'ou  are  in- 
■•ane.  or  a  fool!  Come,  get  control  of  yourself  and  come  down 
to  my  guests." 

Marta  rose  from  her  i)dlows.  Her  skin  had  the  trans- 
parent look  of  a  lily  that  has  been  broken.  Her  eyes  were 
great  dark  bruises  under  the  tumbled  wealth  of  he'  hair. 
"Raphael  Arteaga,"  she  said  quietly,  "I  have  swrrn  an  oath  that 
your  mother's  soul  carried  up  to  God  with  her  to  guard  youi

CLASSIC 


Sdul  while  vou  lived.  I  shall  keep  tli;it  j)leclne,  but  1  rail  dii 
(iod  ti)  witness  that  if  you  try  to  force  me  to  he  your  wife,  as 
that  Indian  f;irl  was  your  wife.  I  will  kill  myself  with  the 
<IatJger  that   all  the  convent  girls   wear  always  here  "   and 

she  struck  at  her  bosom  with  clenched  hand. 

In  that  moment.  Raphael,  bully  and  bra^Kart  that  he  was, 
felt  the  cold  touch  of  fear  on  his  coward  soul  and  turned 
away  and  left  the  bride  whom  he  would  not  own  now  or  here- 
after. Rut  the  golden-haired  .\niericano  was  waiting  below 
stairs,  with  the  other  guests,  and  there  was  plenty  of  wine, 
.md  so  he  <|uite  forgot  his  grievance-  for  the  while. 

.\nd  all  the  night  after  her  wedding  .Marta  knelt  with  the 
moonlight  bathing  her  feverish  face  like  cold,  clear  water, 
and  prayed  to  the  \irgin  thai  she  would  teach  her  how  to  use 
lier  broken  life  and  give  her  the  cour.ige  to  forget  the  leaping 
light  in  twfi  sinmy  blue  eyes. 

The  days  thereafter  were  blurred,  long,  aimless  stretches  of 
sunshine  that  made  the  eyeballs  ache.  interru]ited  by  velvety 
black  nights,  smothering  the  Hat 
ranchlands  with  sootv  shadows. 
.Marta  gradually,  because  she 
«  as  yoving  and  strong  and  hope- 
ful. '.•\en  tho  she  thought  that 
lio|ie  was  forever  gone,  came  to 
accept  her  life,  even  to  begin  to 
bll  it  with  little,  gentle,  usebss 
"tusks.  .She  gathered  the  roses 
m  the  garden,  wove  garlands  of 
paler  blooms  tor  the  cha|)el  and 
embroidered  altar  cloths  with 
tiny,  invisible  stitches,  to  send 
to  the  convent  in  Mexico  from 
which  she  had  come. 

Ra()hael  did  not  trouble  her. 
He  was  sullen  in  his  manner  to- 
ward her,  sneered  at  her  tasks- 
but  he  did  not  claim  any  of  the 
rights  she  had  denied  him.  On 
her  part,  Marta  made  conscien- 
tious efforts  to  fulfill  her  pledge 
to  the  dead  woman  who  had 
adojrted  her  when  she  was  a 
child  and  ]>laced  her  in  the  con- 
vent to  be  reared  for  her  son. 

She  saw  to  it  that  the  table  was 
spread  with  the  food  he  liked, 
that  his  silver  spurs  were  always 
polished  until  they  struck  out 
sparks  and  that  he  drank  no 
more  wine  than  she  could  help. 
She  prayed  for  him,  too,  in  the 
long,  wakeful  hours  of  the  night, 
that  the  good  saints  would  touch 
his  soul  and  that  he  might  be 
saved  from  the  fires  of  hell.  Of 
the  other,  whose  face  was  as  an 
image  with  a  candle  burning  be- 
fore it.  she  tried  not  to  think, 
yet  thought  often,  wondering 
where  he  might  be  now  and 
whether  he  ever  remembered  her. 
.\nd  then  one  strange  day, 
that  ever  afterward  remained  a 
sacred  one  in  her  calendar  of 
life,  Marta  .\rteaga  looked  out 
of  the  window  of  the  house  of  a 
friend  in  the  village,  straight  into 
the  eves  she  had  seen  once  only. 


And  all  the  night  after  her  wed- 
ding, Marta  knelt  with  the  moon- 
light bathing  her  feverish  face  like 
cold,  clear  water  and  prayed  to 
the  Virgin  thav"  she  would  teach 
her  how  to  use  her  broken  life 


yet  had  seen  so  many  limes  in  dreaiVis  .\na  .Mendez.  her 
hostess,  hearing  her  stifled  exclamation,  came  to  her  side  and 
waved  her  hand. 

".Senor  Keith  Hryton,  an  .Vniencano !"  slie  exclaimed.  "He 
IS  a  friend  of  my  husband.  He  is  in  Southern  California  buy- 
ing mules  for  the  army.  Is  he  not  handsome,  think  you. 
.Marta'     With  his  skin  so  white  as  milk  and  his  eyes " 

Hut  Marta  heard  no  more.  Both  her  small  hands  had  cre]il 
lo  her  brea.st,  pressing  close  as  tho  tfi  prevent  some  secret  thing 
from  escaping.  Her  face  was  the  waxen  white  of  the  mag- 
nolia blooms  beside  it,  but  then  a  tinge  of  rose  wakened  it  to 
life.  For  the  man  who  stood  in  the  plaza  outside  had  moved 
toward  them  and  .\na  had  hurried  to  admit  him  to  the  room. 
.\nd  now  he  stood  before  her,  and  his  hand,  big  and  firm  and 
warm,  held  hers  an  instant  in  formal  greeting.  She  lifted  her 
glance  to  his,  and  their  eyes  met.  steadily,  as  those  of  friends.

MOTION  PICTURE 


She  liHci  ;i  vision  of  their  rtrsl  and  only  meeting,  ^lle  a  hif;- 
cved.  grey-clad  girl  looking  thru  the  open  gate  of  the  convent 
wonderingly  at  the  unfamiliar  world,  at  this  tall,  straight  figure 
striding  ^long  the  uavenient  as  tho  he  owned  the  world.  Then 
when  he  came  opposite  her  he  had  stopped,  as  if  she  had  called 
him,  and  looked  at  her,  long — long — until  old  Sister  Margaret 
had  come  up  behind  and  snatched  her  in  and  swung  the  gate 
to,  shutting  him  outside.  She  had  had  to  do  hard  penance  for 
her  sin.  but  .-he  had  forgotten  (he  |>enance  and  only  remem- 
bered the  wonder  of  the  sin. 

"1.  too,"  Marta  answered  him  now.  "I  have  often  prayed 
for  you,  senor,  and  [)rayed  that  the  good  God  would  let  me  see 
you  again  some  day.' 

He  laughed,  a  big.  healthy  sound.  "Some  day  is  here, 
Marta,"  he  -ried.  "and  so  am  1  and  you." 

Rut  she  had  drawn  away,  suddenly  trembling.  "I  had  for- 
gotten.'' Marta  whispered  desolately,  "I  am  married.  1  have 
taken  a  vow  up  to  (ioil."  and  for  the  first  time  since  her  dark- 
ened wedding  day  the  slow,  hopeless  tears  rolled  down  her 
cheeks.  .\nd.  with  a  frightened  movement  like  some  wild 
thing,  she  turned  and  ran  from  the  room.  But  deeper  than 
the  tears  was  the  sound  of  singing,  for  she  knew  that  she 
would  see  him  again. 

~  burcb.     Marta,  with  Raphael  be- 

side her,  felt  his  gaze  before  she 
dared  look  for  him.  but  when  at 
length  she  rai.sed  her  dark, 
frightened  eyes  from  her  rosary, 
her  heart  leaped  until  she  felt 
that  her  husband  must  be  aware 
of  its  tumult.  This  time  there 
was  no  chance  for  words,  yet 
she   went   back   to   the   hacienda 


The  next  time  was  at  the 


The  next  d»y  Keith  Bry- 
ton  was  brought,  wounded 
wrll-nigh  unto  death,  into 
the  hacienda.  A  party  of 
vaqueros  had  found  him 
lying  beneath  his  dead 
horse  on  the  mountain 
trail 


with  the  sense  of  having  listened  to  mad  love-making.  And 
that  night  she  prayed  to  the  Virgin  that  she  might  never  see 
Keith  again  and  that  she  might  remember  always  her  promise 
lo  Dona  l.uisa  and  to  (iod. 

The  next  morning  she  .stood,  waist  deep  in  June,  the  great 
waving  heads  of  the  roses  in  the  garden  tossing  their  petals 
over  her  dark,  uncovered  hair,  when  Keith  Rryton  strode 
thru  the  wicket. 

'1  have  come.  Little  Nun,  to  say  good-hy,  "  he  told  her, 
standing  before  her  in  the  sunshine  that  dazzled  her  eyes  as 
she  lifted  them  to  his  face;  "I  dont  dare  to  stay  any  longer. 
It's  too  hard  to  be  near  you  and  still  so  far  away.  From  the 
moment  I  saw  you  in  the  convent  gate  I've  loved  you,  hut  I 
couldn't  touch  you  then,  and" — his  great  ha, ids  clenched — "I 
cant  touch  you  now." 

Marta  looked  up  at  him,  then  down  at  the  criinson  rose  by 
her  hand.  .\s  long  as  she  lived,  the  scent  of  red  roses  was  to 
make  her  faint  and  dizzy  as  she  was  then.  ".She  was  an  okl 
woman,  and  she  was  dying."  she  said,  as  tho  ])leading  an  ex- 
cuse; "she  had  been  good  to  me  ..."  The  words  caught 
raggedly  on  a  sob.  She  looked  up  at  him  again,  piteously. 
"You  say — you  love  me.  Then  promise  you  will  think  of  me 
every  evening  when  the  first  star  shines,  and  I  will  try  to  go 
on  living.  But  if  I  thought  you  would  forget — I  should  pray 
the  N'irgin  to  take  me  to  Her,  for  1,  too — I.  too " 

"(lod  bless  you  and  keep  you.  Little  Xun!"  the  man  said 
hoar.sely,  and  suddenly  the  roses  blurred  in  the  wind  of  his 
going  and  fell  in  a  shower  of  bloody  petals  at  her  feet,  and  the 
world  was  empty  and  the  saints  had  turned  their  faces  away. 

.\cross  the  fields  Marta  saw  a  fleck  of  black  that  was 
Raphael  and  a  fleck  of  blue  that  was  the  habit  of  the  .Ameri- 
cano with  golden  hair,  but  they  meant  nothing  to  her  mind, 
numb   with   its   grief.     They   were   very  close  together,  these

Marta  did  not 
notice.  He 
was  gone.    He 

was  <ioiie 

That  night, 
as  she  was 
brushing  her 
dark,  thick 
hair,  the  door 
was  flung  sud- 
denly open  and 
her  husband 
stood  swaying 
on  the  thresh- 
old, his  eyes, 
glazed  with 
wine,  resting 
'covetously  on 
her  uncovered 
arms  a  .d  neck. 
"Damn  it !  ' 
cried  Raphael, 
"I've  a  right 
h  e  re  —  dont 
look  so  aston- 
ished! I  mar- 
ried you.  didn't 
i:-  And  I'll  be 
put  off  no 
longer  with 
your  pious 
talk."  He 
lurched  toward 
her,  smiling 
thru  glistening 
lips.  "You're 
— you're  devil- 
ish pretty.  M.irta.  Did  you  know  it?  Cinon,  give  's  a  kiss! 
What !     You  hell-cat !" 

He  leaped  backward  as  something  hashed  in  her  upraised 
hand.  Her  eyes,  too,  glittered  with  the  hard  light  of  the  steel. 
"Keep  away."  warned  Marta,  in  a  low,  tense  voice.  "I  swore 
to  your  mother  to  marry  you,  but  I  didn't  swear — anything 
more.  And  if  you  come  nearer  I'll  kill  you  as  certainly  as  I 
stand  here  hating  you  !" 

They  faced  each  other  in  sdence,  and  again,  as  once  before, 
the  man's  spirit  yielded  to  hers.  He  laughed  spitefully.  "Have 
your  own  way!  After  all,  why  should  I  care!  There  are 
others  who  aren't  quite  so — particular " 

The  next  day  Keith  Bryton  was  brought,  wounded  well- 
nigh  unto  death,  into  the  hacienda.  A  party  of  vaqueros  had 
found  him  lying  beneath  his  dead  horse  on  the  mountain  trail. 
stripi>ed  even  to  the  silver  mounting  of  his  harness  by  brigands. 
"He  will  die,'  mumbled  the  old  |)hysician,  bending  over  the 
.splendid  chest  of  the  wounded  man  to  count  the  slow  heart- 
beats ;  "nothing  can  save  him." 

"He  will  live!"  Senora 
Arteaga  flamed.  "One  thing 
can  .save  him."  But  she  did 
not  say  that  that  one  thing 
was  love'.  In  the  days  of 
terror  that  followed  she 
seemed  to  keep  Death  at  a 
di.stance  with  the  bare 
strength  of  her  beating 
hands.  She  literally  fought 
for  the  life  that  was  dearer 
to  her  than  her  own  life.  It 
was  as  tho  she  re-created 
him,  until,  one  day  in  the 
late  summer,  he  opened  sane 
eyes  on  a  room  filled  with 
the  clear  wine  of  sunset,

But   she  was  gone,

strain  of  t)ic  last  weeks  had  al- 
most sapped  her.     .'she  was  hardly  able  to 
or  even  to  make  her  daily  |iilgriniage  to 

fore  the  image  of  the  Holy  Mother  in  the  chapel.  But  every 
evening  when  the  first  star  twinkled  out  of  the  <lack  blue  over- 
head, she  closed  her  eyes  and  said  a  little  ])rayer  for  the  man 
who  was  creeping  back  to  life  in  the  great  ranch-house. 

On  a  night  of  late  .\ugust.  sidtry,  throbbing  with  stars,  she 
^tood  in  the  decaying  garden  and  heard  the  voice  of  her  hus- 
band beyond  the  wall,  speaking  jiassionately.  "Your  golden 
hair — a   man    could    drown    in    it.    rara    mia!      Have   mercy!

a  woman's  reply.  "When

have  promised,  Raphael — 
the  jewels  of  your  house." 

"Now!  Within  the  mo- 
ment!" the  man  cried 
hoarsely.  "They  are  in  her 
room,  but  I  will  get  them  if 
1  have  to  draw  the  necklace 
around  her  throat  and 
strangle  her!  Wait  here!

The  Climax 


Evidently  the  possibilities  of  the  contest  have  reached,  in  many  and 
various  ways,  the  ears  of  the  entire  feminine  contingent  of  the  coun- 
try, for  there  seems  to  be  no  village  or  county  in  all  the  land  which 
hasn't  been  heard  from.  A  peculiar  fact  attracts  our  attention — 
photographs  of  the  i)rettiest  girls  frequently  come  from  the  most 
obscure  places.  More  than  once  v\e  are  reminded  of  the  poet's  say- 
ing that  "many  a  flower  is  born  to  blush  unseen,  and  waste  its  sweet- 
ness on  the  desert  aiv"  This,  of  course,  is  the  primary  object  of 
the  contest.  To  give  an  opportuifity  to  a  girl  who,  shut  -away  from 
the  world  and  all  that  it  offers,  would  otherwise  have  no  chance  at 
all  ever  to  get  away  from  her  narrow  enclosure.  To  oflfer  to  this 
girl,  if  she  is  one  of  the  winners,  every  means  by  which  she  will 
arrive  at  the  goal  of  .success. 

And  not  only  have  the  contestants  responded  front  every  village 
and  county  thruout  the  country,  but  we  have  received  pictures  from 
our  readers  who  desire  to  enter  the  contest  from  many  foreign 
countries.  This  is,  perhaps,  what  is  the  most  interesting  factor  of 
the  contest.  The  variety  of  types  of  beauty  and  charm  is  over- 
whehning.  And  not  only  is  it  the  young  girl  who  dreams  about  the 
glory  of  stardom,  but  there  has  been  a  number  of  entries  from  men 
and  women  beyond  their  first  youth  who  desire  to  try  their  fortune 
and  who  feel  that  they  may  make  good  in  the  cinema  world.  This 
shows  the  increasing  importance  that  is  being  attached  to  the  cinema 
by  old  and  young  alike. 

We  are  quite  flattered  with  the  results  of  the  contest  so  far.  As 
you  doubtless  know,  the  winners  of  the  contest  and  also  the  mem- 
bers of  the  honor  roll  took  part  in  a  two-reel 
feature  which  was  aptly  named  '"A  Dream  of 
Fair  Women,"  and  which  (iroved  so  successful

We  have  now  arrived  at  the  most  exciting  part  of  the  Fame 
and  Fortune  Contest  being  held  under  the  auspices  of  The 
Motion  Picture  Macazinf.,  The  Motion  Picture  Classic  and 
SiiAPOWLAN'n.  The  climax  is.  of  course,  the  most  interesting 
and  thrilling  part  of  the  play,  and  the  audience  always  thrills  to 
the  rising  of  the  curtain  on  the  third  act.  We  have  reached  the 
big  moments  in  the  contest.  Entries  are  growing  more  and  more 
excited,  (as. is  shown  by  the  number  of  photographs  submitted, 
anxious  letters  pouring  into  the  office,  wires,  etc.).  Indeed,  the 
l)hotographs  have  doubled  in  number  and  flood  the  office  daily.

The  Fame  and  Fortune  Contest 
Reaches  Its  Most  Interesting  Point 

success  of  this  feature,  we  have  decided  to  produce  a  five-ref.l 
drama. 

"L.ove's  Redemption"  is  the  title  of  the  five-reel  feature 
play  that  is  being  produced  by  us,  which  will  include  many 
of  the  contestants  of  the  1920  Fame  and  Fortune  Contest. 
Blanche  McGarity.  winner  of  last  year's  contest,  has  been 
chosen  to  play  the  leading  part  of  Peggy.  Dorian  Romero 
has  been  selected  as  the  "heavy,"  and  he  has  a  big  and  strong 
part  to  play.  Edward  Chalmers.  Alfred  L.  Rigali,  Mrs. 
Mayer,  Bunty  Manly,  Erminie  Gagnon  and  Johanna  Huschle 
have  al.so  been  assigned  parts.  Among  the  distinguished  men 
who  will  probably  take  part  in  the  play  are  Edwin  Markham, 
the  great  poet ;  Hudson  Ma.xim,  famous  inventor ;  and  Judge 
Frederick  E.  Crane  of  the  Court  of  Appeals  of  New  York 
State.  Most  of  the  scenes  will  be  filmed  in  and  around  the 
Brewster  place  at  Roslyn,  L.  I.,  and  the  taking  will  be  con- 
tinued well  into  September.  Each  issue  of  every  one  of  our 
several  publications  will  hereafter  contain  intere.sting  news 
of  the  progress  of  the  play. 

The  judges  of  the  contest  will  be  Mary  Pickford,  Mme. 
Olga  Petrova.  Howard  Chandler  Christy,  Thomas  Ince, 
J.  Stuart  Blackton,  Maurice  Tourneur,  Samuel  Lumiere, 
Carl  Laemmie,  Jesse  Lasky,  David  Belasco,  Blanche  Bates

CuUen  Landis  has  worked 
at  everything.  He  started 
in  Nashville  as  a  milkman 
and  drifted'  to  the  coast. 
There  he  started  at  the 
bottom  in  the  studios, 
worked  up  to  property 
man,  assistant  director,  and 
assistant  camera-man  to 
"stunt  actor."  Finally  he 
landed  as  a  regular  player 


NO  one  who  saw  Rex  Beach's 
"The  Girl  from  Outside"  could 
forget  "the  Curly  Kid." 

.\11  the  way  thru  the  picture  you 
felt  Cullen  Landis'  sincerity,  a  sin- 
cerity that  seemed  to  come  out  of 
the  screen  and  grip  you.  "Why." 
you  thought,  "this  kid  is  real ;  there 
is  no  pretense  liere."  ."Vnd  when 
he  stood,  frightened  and  miserable, 
by  the  bedside  of  the  sick  girl,  he 

made  you  realize  his  misery  as  keenly  as  tho  he  were  there  in 
person  in  the  place  of  his  shadow. 

He  w.is,  it  seemed.  Youth  incarnate;  impulsive,  reckless  and  on 
fire  with  enthusiasm  at  every  new  discovery.  And  this  is  exactly 
the  impression  you  get  when  you  meet  Cullen  Landis  in  person. 
He  is  splendidlv,  boyishly  alive  to  evervthing  that  is  romantic  in 
life. 

There  are  people  who  believe  that  all  day-dreaming  is  a  waste 
of  time.  .'\nd  then  there  are  others  who  will  tell  you  that  all 
thoughts  have  an  existence  of  their  own,  with  power  to  help  or 
harm  their  creator.  That  your  success  depends  on  your  outlook 
on  life  and  on  the  way  you  think  more  than  on  anything  else.  It 
is  on  this  philosophy  that  Cullen  Landis  is  molding  his  life. 

"I  have  always  had  big  dreams,"  he  said;  "even  when  I  was 
property  man  I  used  to  imagine  my  name  in  electric  lights  above 
the  door  of  a  theater."  .\nd  now,  at  twenty-four,  his  dream 
seems  well  on  the  way  to  fulfilltnent.  He  is  under  a  five-year 
contract  with  Goldwyn. 

I  saw  him  at  the  studio  on  a  cold,  rainy  afternoon  in  late 
winter.     We  sat  in  one  of  the  little  upstairs  office  rooms.     The 


A  Dreamer 
of  Dreams 


rain  beat  an  endless  tattoo  on  the  roof  and 
occasionally  was  blown  against  the  window- 
pane. 

"1  used  to  believe,"  he  went  on,  "that 
thoughts  were  of  no  material  help,  but  1  have 
grown  to  look  on  such  matters  differently. 
I  think  now  that  my  day  dreams  have 
helped'  me  and  that  they  are  helping  me 
every  day.  I  know  that  having  visions  of 
a  future  makes  me  more  careful  with  my 
work.  I'.ven  when  I  get  a  part  that  I  dont 
like,  it  is  impossible  for  me  not  to  do  my 
best  with  it. 

"There  is  a  man,  a  Russian  Jew,  named 
Auerbach,  who  has  talked  with  me  a  great 
deal  about  the  importance  of  training  my 
mind  to  be  as  mentally  efficient  as  possible. 
He  is  one  of  the  most  brilliant  men  I  have

^on,  a  nnich  li]\eil  character  aclor),  Uncle 
I'd  laii),'lit  me  how  to  be  patient. 

"I  first  met  I'ncle  h".(l  at  tlie  lialboa  studio 
in  I.ong  I'eacli.  I  was  doing  a  little  of  every- 
lhin(j  then,  driving  a  bns.  running  errands 
and  minding  the  switchboard.  He  had  lost 
a  boy  of  about  my  age,  and  I  suppose  that 
is  why  lie  look  an  interest  in  me.  1  used  to 
lose  my  patience  with  praclicalh'  no  jirovo- 
cation  at  all." 

C'ullen  l.andis  is  the  romantic  ty])e  of 
Irishman.  Mis  .skin  is  pale,  his  eyes  a  deep 
blue  and  his  hair  black  and  wavy.  He  talks 
in  a  direct,  matter-of-fact  way,  with  just  a 
slight  edge  to  his  voice  to  tell  of  his  natural 
restlessness.  He  doesn't  like  cities.  You 
would  notice  that  his  few  gestures  are  always 
large  ones  and  that  they  are  upward  and 
outward,  away  from  himself. 

When  I  saw  him  he  had  just  returned  to 
Los  .Vngeles  from  his  tirst  visit  to  \ew  York, 
which  he  made  in  company  with  his  director, 
Victor  Schertzinger,  and  Mrs.  Schertzinger. 

"I  had  a  gof>d  time,"  he  said,  "but  I  didn't 
like  New  York,  really.  I  like  to  have  lots  of 
room." 

He  lives  in  Long  Beach,  about  twenty 
miles     from    Los    ,\ngeles.      James    Cullen

Cullen  Landis  is  a 
young  Irishman — and, 
with  all  his  hard 
struggle — a  dreamer  of 
dreams.  "My  day 
dreams  have  helped 
me,"  he  says,  "and  they 
are  helping  me  every 
day" 


Landis,  to  give  him 
his  fidl  name,  was 
born  in  Nashville, 
Tenn.,  in  1895.  There 
it  was  that  he  got  his 
first  job.  It  was  as  a 
milkman,  and  he  only 
kept  it  for  a  very 
.short  time,  .\fter  that 
he  bought  a  newspaper  route  and  rose  promptly 
at  three  o'clock  every  morning  so  tliat  sub- 
scribers to  The  SashvUlc  .-Inicrican  would  have 
no  reason  to  complain  of  their  service.  He  was 
so  successful  that  lie  soon  rose  to  the  dignity  of 
a  regular  position  in  the  circulation  department. 
He  gave  that  u])  when,  at  the  a.ge  of  sixteen,  he 
came  to  California. 

"My  first  job  here."  he  .said,  "was  driving  a 
sightseeing  bu.i,  so  I  am  i|uite  fitted  to  point  out 
llie  beauties  of  Los  .\ngeles  to  admiring  friends." 
And  tlien  he  began  doing  a  little  bit  of  everything 
at  the  I'alboa  studio  in  Long  Reach. 

No  one  can  say  that  he  didn't  begin  his  career 
in  moving  ]iictures  on  the  first  rung  of  the  lad- 
der, or  that  he  missed  any  rungs  going  up,  even 
tho  he  is  climbing  so  rapidly. 

He  was  a  pro[)erly  man,  an  assistant  director, 
an  assistant  camera-man  and,  with  it  all,  a 
"stunt"  actor,  but  the  type  of  stunt  actor  who 
never  gets  any  credit.  He  was,  in  other  words, 
a  double  for  stars  w-here  the  scenario  required 
them  to  do  a  stunt  so  risky  that  the  company

The  Celluloid  Critic 


Kext  month  Mr.  Smith  zmll  review  the  entire  screen  year,  select- 
ing the  tzuenty  leading  photoplays  of  the  twelve  months  and  dis- 
cussing in  detail  the  progress — or  lack  of  progress — of  all  the 
leading  players  and  producing  units.  This  annual  reincw  has  been 
a  Classic  feature  for  three  years  and  is  of  unusual  value  as  a 
record  of  cinema  achievement.) 

WE  have  long  intended  commenting  at  length  upon  Charles  Ray 
and  his  unquestioned  genius  of  the  silversheet.     Yet  there  is 
something  so  matter-of-fact,  so  every-day,  so  humaVily  devoid 
of  the  spectacular  about  Ray  that  each  month  we  express  our  brief 
appreciation — and  pass  on. 

Ray  is  deserving  of  much  more.  You  and  I  have  come  to  look 
upon  his  bashful,  awkward,  small-town  boys  as  regular  incidents  of 
photoplay  releases.  Yet  they  are  far  more.  Ray  takes  the  most 
colorless  sort  of  role  and  galvanizes  it  into  life.  There  is  nothing 
of  the  theater  or  studio  airaut  him.  He  is  small-town  youth — the 
sort  of  youth  upon  which  .\merica  depends.  He  is  a  master  player 
because  he  is  able  to  reflect  this  .so  humorously,  so  tenderly,  so  sin- 
cerely. We  know  the  customary 
phrase:  "He  is  just  playing  him- 
self." In  answer,  we  say  that  Ray  is 
the  greatest  of  all  artists,  a  player 
who  projects  himself  into  a  role 
minus  all  the  histrionic  trapi)ings 
and  gildings  of  the  actor.  Great 
artists  are  the  simi>lest.  Witness 
Marv  Pickford.  Or  Charlie  Chap- 
lin. 'Or  Ray. 

Ray  is  a  genre  player  of  genius. 
He  is  typically  American.  No  mere 
heroic  manikins  are  his  screen  crea- 
tions. He  turns  the  characters  in- 
side out  and  shows  you  the  aflfecta- 
tions,  the  weaknesses,  the  boyish 
foibles,  the  very  thoughts  of  his  crea- 
tions, along  with  the  outer  shell. 

Consider      Ray's     latest      vehicle, 
"Paris  Green,"  (Paramount).     Here 
he  plays   a   country   boy,   just  back 
from  France  and  out  of  khaki,  who 
finds  that  his  sweetheart  at  home  has 
not  waited  for  him.     Just  when  life 
seems   greyest,  along  comes  a   little 
French  girl  he  met  during  his  forty- 
five  minutes  in  Paris  and  to  whom  he 
gave  his  address  "in  case  she  ever 
needs  it."    With  the  aid  of  a  French 
dictionary  the  boy  finds  the  happi- 
ness he  seeks. 
.\  creaking  skeleton  of  a  story  it  is.    But  Ray 
makes  you  lielieve  in  it.     If  there  is  anything 
more  human  in  recent  pictures  than  his  home- 
coming to  the  old  homestead,  we  want  to  see  it. 
Rert    WoodruflF   makes    the    father    stand    out, 
altho  he  exaggerates  the   role,  while  Gertrude 
Claire  is  effective  as  the  boy's  mother. 

One  other  production  of  the  month  strongly 
impressed  us.  This  was  "Humoresque,"  (Para- 
mount), a  visualization  of  Fannie  Hurst's  short 
story  of  a  little  Jewish  boy  who  finds  wealth 
and  acclaim  thru  his  genius  in  music,  who  gives 
up  everything  to  go  to  France  in  the  uniform 
of  the  land  his  parents  adopted,  and  who  re- 
turns with  one  arm  crippled.  In  the  end  he 
recovers  and  his  ability  to  play  upon  the  public's 
heartstrings  via  his  violin  returns.  ^liss  Hurst 
writes  with  an  unusual  understanding  of  East 
Side  life  and  the  story  offers  innumerable  op- 
portunities for  fine  naturalistic  direction. 

Frank    Rorzagc's   handling  of   the  theme   is

The  Newest  Photoplays  in  Review 

By   FREDERICK  JAMES  SMITH 


unusual  enough  to  make  his  future  work  of  vivid 
interest  to  students  of  the  photoplay.  Here  is  an- 
other forerunner  of  the  shce-of-hfe  silent  play  of 
tomorrow.  True,  this  striving  for  human  detail  be- 
comes apparent  here  and  there  .thru  "Hunioresque" 
and  the  play  drags  seriously  at  times.  But,  on  the 
whole,  it  is  far  and  away  ahead  of  the  average  shal- 
low melodramatic  film  drama. 

The  cutting  of  "Humoresque"  is  puzzling  at  times. 
I'or  instance,  there  seems  to  be  a  deliberate  effort  to 
kee])  the  featured  |)layer,  Alma  Rubens,  in  the  back- 
ground. As  the  yoimg  violinist's  sweetheart  she 
should  have  been  a  vital  link  in  the  story.  Here  she 
is  a  mere  inanimate  lay  figure.  .\  character  player, 
\'era  Gordon,  who  C(jntributes  a  singularly  fine  and 
ucll-rounded  portrayal  of  the  Jewish  mother,  walks 
away  with  the  honors  of  "Humoresque." 
Xo  mere  silversheet  shadow  is  this 
touching  iiresentation  of  the  immigrant 
woman  whose  son,  by  one  of  those 
odd  freaks  of  genius,  lifts  her  from  a 
tenement  room  and  a  fire-escape  land- 
scai)e  to  Riverside  Drive  and  limou- 
sines, but  who  never  once  loses  her 
primitive  brhnce,  her  store  of  mother- 
love,  her  unswerving  faith.  Dore  Da- 
vidson, too,  is  excellent  as  the  father, 
(iaston  (ilassisquite  adequate  as  the  boy. 

Da\id  Graham  Phillips  always  wrote 
vigorously.  Rut  his  "The  Cost"  is  too 
scattered  a  tale  for  a  strong  film  story, 
unless  handled  from  a  more  naturalistic 
view-jioint  than  Director  Harley  Knoles 
produced  it.  Herein  a  young  girl  over- 
rides the  hopes  of  her  jjarents  and  mar- 
ries a  young  rounder,  .^he  soon  dis- 
covers the  downright  moral  worthlcss- 
ness  of  the  man  and  that  she  really 
loves  another.  But  she  drifts  thru 
years  of  disillusionment  and  pain  until 
the  death  of  her  husband  opens  the  way 
to  a  belated  sort  of  middle-aged  happi- 
ness. There  is  really  no  climax,  for 
Mr.  Phillips'  characters  are  very  human 
in  their  drifting. 

Violet  Heniing  is  fairly  symjiathetic 
as  the  girl,  while  Ralph  Kellard  is 
actory  as  her  unfortunate  selection. 
"The  Cost"  is  one  of  those  photoplays 
in  which  the  characters  never  really  age. 
altho  years  dash  by  in  the  subtitles. 

Somehow  or  other  we  find  ourselves  unable  to  take 
the  very  heroic  heroics  of  William  S.  Hart  very 
.seriously.  Somehow  his  dc  luxe  dime  novels  never 
impress  us  as  being  a  significant  contribution  to  either 
life  or  literature.  "The  Toll  Gate,"  (Paramount), 
is  an  instance  in  point.  "The  Toll  Gate"  ])resents  Hart 
as  another  kindly  bad  man.  Black  Deering,  who  once 
again  encounters  regeneration  and  a  cutie  at  one  and 
the  same  time.  In  this  opus.  Black  Deering  foregoes 
the  ingenue  and  rides  away  alone  thru  the  mountain 
"toll  gate."  Hart  is  himself  as  the  good  bad  man  and 
.\nna  Q.  Nilsson  is  an  attractive  figure  as  the  heroine. 

We  confess  dire  disappointment  in  Marshall  Neilan's 
feature  comedy,  "Dont  Ever  Marry,"  (First  National). 
For  Neilan  has  a  fresh  Irish  sense  of  humor.  In 
"Dont  I'".ver  Marry"  he  has  taken  a  slender  farce  idea 
.ind  tried  to  develop  it  into  feature  length.  The  result: 
.1  tiresome  hour  and  a  quarter  with  only  occasional 
ll.ishes  of  laughter.  It  concerns  the  efforts  of  a  young

OS  Ani:i:i.i',s,   (Special) — The  back-to-tlie- 

stajje  iiuivem(.MU  is  hitting  the  movies  hard 

these  (lays.     That  and  the   fact   that  the 

)rodiicers,   siu-h   as    Metro,   Cioldwyn,   Lasky, 

t'/  al.,  are  liaviiif;  to  pay  upwards  of  dozens  of 

thousands  of  dollars   for  star  vehicles,   such, 

for  instance,  as  "Parlor.  Bedroom  and  liatli." 

After  havinj;  been  in  pictures  for  some  years, 

our  cinema    favorites  are   feeling  the  call   to 

return  to  their  tirst  love,  the  stage,  and  one  by 

one  they  are  leaving  the  film  Mecca. 

Dorothy  Dalton.  of  course,  was  the  first  to 
depart  in  order  to  star  on  Broadway  in 
"■Alihrodite."    Theda  Bara  left  the  camera  for 

—         "The  Blue  Flame."     And  now  Bert  Lytell  has 

annoiniced  his  intention  of  going  back  to  the 
boards  in  a  jilay  to  be  staged  exclusively  for  the  puri)ose  of  letting  (Broadway 
theatergoers  hear  his  voice.  Lytell  has  actually  wanted  to  go  back  to  the  ''legit" 
for  some  time.  In  fact,  after  each  picture  he'd  say  he  was  thru  with  films — 
temporarily — and  that  he  wanted  a  chance  to  hear  his  own  voice  again  en  scene. 
But  now,  having  finished  "The  Tem|')le  of  Dawn,"  he  has  left  for  New  York  to 
make  one  more  picture  before  the  fatal  appearance  per  se. 

.And  even  that  champion  little  child-wife  of  the  screen,  Mildred  Harris  Chaplin, 
left  the  camera,  very  temporarily,  however,  for  the  speaking  stage.    She  made  her 

debut  here  at  the  Little  Theater  in  a  very  intri- 
cate farce.  ".'^ick-a-Bed,"  and,  even  tho  she 
looked  beautiful  in  her  stage  dresses,  her  voice 
was  not  (|uite  |>owerful  enough.  The  premiere 
lling  at  spoken  dramatics,  however,  has  put 
the  bug  into  Mrs.  Chajilin's  ear;  she  says  she'd 
really  like  to  consider  the  stage  seriously. 
And.  who  knows?  She's  had  a  very  good 
offer  to  do  so,  it  .seems,  but,  nevertheless,  she's 
(juite  busy  making  a  picture  which  is  to  be 
released  under  the  more  or  less  prosaic  title  of 
"Old  Dad." 

The  Los  .\ngeles  film  colony  was  plunged 
into  sudden  sadness  on  receipt  of  the  news  of 
Clarine  .Seymour's  death.  Miss  Seymour  was 
one  of  the  best-liked  members  of  cinema-land's 
younger  set.  A  year  ago,  before  she  left  for 
Xew  ■'i'ork  with  the  Griffith  players,  Miss 
Seymour  was  one  <if  the  brightest  social  lights 
liere.  Her  sparkling  jiersonality  was  in  evi- 
dence at  all  of  the  more  exclusive  dansants 
and  teas,  while  her  graceful  dancing  and 
genial  good-fellowship  won  her  a  host  of  ad- 
mirers. And.  by  the  way,  she  was  one  of 
I'.ileen  Percy's  closest  friends  and,  I  believe, 
"stood  u])"  with  Lileen  at  her  marriage  to  the 
son  of  Adol|)hus  Husch.  When  word  was 
received  here  of  her  death,  a  huge  portrait  of 
her  which  stood  in  the  lobby  of  the  Kinema 
Theater,  at  which  her  I'icture  was  showing, 
was  draped  in  crepe  and  an  especially  written 
obituary  was  flashed  on  the  screen  immediately 
after  the  announcement  of  her  name  on  "The 
Idol  Dancer"  cast  sheet.  For  Los  .Angeles 
was  her  home,  and  it  was  here  that  she  was 
filmed  in  the  two  productions  which  literally 
"made"  her — "The  ("lirl  Who  Stayed  at  Home" 
and  "Scarlet  Days.  "

a  startling  impressi(m  a  few  seasons  ago  as  a

The 

Last 

Interview 


At    the    top    of    the   page    is 
Clarine  Seymour's  last  photo- 

?:raph,  taken  two  weeks  be- 
ore  her  fatal  illness  devel- 
oped. Above,  is  a  snapshot 
of  Miss  Seymour  taken  last 
winter  with  her  mother  and 
little  brother.  At  the  right  is 
another  snapshot 


of  all,  her  half-caste 
girl  of  the  tropics — 
vibrant  with  the  love 
of  life— in  "The  Idol 
Dancer."  Here  Miss 
Seymour  touched  a 
new  note  —  a  note 
that  meant  quick 
staitdom. 

sVie  was  at  work 
in  Mr.  (Iriffith's  vis- 
ualization of  "  'Way 
Down  East"  when 
the  fatal  ailment- 
intestinal  trouble — 
asserted  itself.  An 
operation  was  found 
necessary.  I-'or  five 
days  she  fought  a 
brave  fight  against 
impossible  odds — 
and  then  the  end. 

It  is  hard  now  to 
transcribe  even  a  bit 
of  our  last  talk  with 
Miss  Seymour, 
which  was,  indeed, 
her  last  interview. 
For  the  talk  was  so 
full  of  hope,  of 
gladness,  of  dreams 
coming  true. 

Miss  Seymour 
was  born  in  Brooklyn,  altho  New  Rochelle  became  her  home 
town.  Comparatively  close  by  was  the  Thaiihouser  studio.  It 
was  inevitable  that  she  should  try  for  screen  success.  But  an 
opening  did  not  come  easily.  She  went  day  after  day  for  weeks 
before  she  was  given  a  tiny  role.  Heartened  by  it.  Miss  Sey- 
mour kept  on.  Small  roles  came  now  and  then  and  finally  she 
was  ofTered  a  contract  with  the 
Rolin  Comi)any  to  play  in  Toto 
comedies. 

Miss  Seymour  went  to  the 
coast,  hut  a  disagreement  fol- 
owed  soon  after.  She  sued, 
charging  a  broken  contract,  and 
won  her  case,  altho  not  until  she 
had  played  briefly  with  the

when  it's  "busted."  The  omnibus  in  ((uestion  is  a  small  limousine,  black 
with  yellow  wheels.  Jane  sits  at  the  steering  gear  like  a  regular  cabby, 
while  I'.va  rides  in  stale  in  the  back  seat. 


Little  Sister,  Huh! 


oy   TRUMAN    B.    HANDY 


Inasmuch  as  h'.va  was  leaving  on  the  .^  :.^0  train  with  the  Rill 
Hart  company  for  a  location  in  northern  California,  the  meager 
details  of  this  interview  were  gleaned  in  a  hasty  and  none-too- 
easily-ridden  trip  to  the  studio  from  the  Novak  bungalow  in 
Hollywood. 

Jane  at  the  wheel  of  the  aforesaid  liiiw.  h.va  and  yours  truly  in 
the  back  seat.  Mrs.  Novak,  the  girls'  mother,  in  the  front  seat 
with  Jane — and  all  of  us  [lermeated  with  that  atmosphere  of 
hurry  peculiar  to  the  time  previous  to  boat  sailings  and  the  flights 
from  the  city  of  motion  picture  companies  and  bank  panics. 

Rva,  as  I  have  hitherto  noted,  is  a  blonde — one  of  those  pink- 
and-white  creatures  lovers  of  the  aesthetic  rave  about.  Her  ever- 
present  smile  is  contagious,  and  echoed  by  the  faint,  wistful  regis- 
tration of  sisterly  appreciation  as  evidenced  by  sister  Jane. 

It  impressed  me  that  F.va  is  something  of  a  vamp — one  of  those 
harmless  kind  a  mere  male  simply  cant  help  adoring.  I  asked  her 
if  she  thought  she  was  sirenish. 

"I  dont  see  why  not.''  she 
rem  a  rked  perfunctorily. 
"Just  because'  you  happen 
to  have  a  taffy  thatch  isn't 
any  sign  that  you  cant  com- 
pete with  your  raven-locked 
sisters,  is  it .' " 

Ouite  so.  Jane  admitted 
it  for  Fva — and  for  her- 
self. ,\nd  she  also  volun- 
teered the  information,  in 
resjjonse  to  my  query,  that 
F.va's  ambition  is  not  to 
vamp;  that,  in  fact,  her  lit- 
tle sister  as  yet  seems  to 
have  manifested  nr)  par- 
ticular ambition  other  than 
becoming  as  famous  as 
Mary  Pickford. 
In  Hollywood  the  pecu- 


Eva  is  a  blonde  .  .  one  of 
those  pink-and-white  crea- 
tures lovers  of  the  aesthetic 
rave  about.  Her  ever-pres- 
ent smile  is  contagious;  and 
it  impresses  one  that  she  is 
something  of  a  vamp — one 
of  those  harmless  kind  a 
mere  male  simply  cant  help 
adoring

some  cases  and  in  otheis  aviation.  "Taking 
oti,"  aviatorially  speakin;;,  may  I  explain, 
means  to  go  up  in  a  plane.  Pauline  l'"red- 
erick  has  "taken  off"  considerably.  So  have 
Mary  Pickford  and  those  |)rime  factors  of 
the  him  colony,  the  Hayakawas.  l''va,  how-

figured  on  buying  an  aeroplane,  nor  even 
considered  the  matter  of  l.ocklearean  vol-

But,  however,  her  ambition^  are  in  ihem-

"T  hey  go  in  leaps  and  boinids."  she  an-

"Um-hum.'  agreed  Jane,  laconically,  "she 
makes  up  her  mind  sometimes  that  she's  a

I'd  rather  be  in  the

"Once  in  a  while  she 

gets  ambitious  to  fix  up 

the  house,"  added   Mrs. 

Novak.     ".She  sends  me 

out  of  the  kitchen  and  insists  upon  cooking  all  the 

meals.     .She  knows  bow  to  cook  if  she  wants  to." 

.\t  this  juncture  our  little  Kva  in  true  younger- 
sisterly  fashion,  registered  a  protest. 

"Jane."  she  said.  "I  have  to  follow  you  every

lint  what  is  weighing  very  heavily  on  the  younger 
Novak  mind  right  now  is  her  attempt  to  stabilize 
her  memory.  .She  forgets  so  many  things  she  ought 
to  remember,  she  declares,  that  she's  sim|ily  i/ot  to 
do  .something. 

"We  get  so  used  to  not  remembering  that  we  just 
forget  to  remember.  The  studio  writes  everything 
down  for  us — what  we  wore  in  .Scene  144  and  even 
how  we  looked  in  a  close-uji.     Now.  ever  since   I

"I-mh-e-r-e." it  spelled, 
indicating  that  the  spirit 
of  Ab,  the  famous  cave-

Robert  \V.  Chambers  of

"What,"  we  asked  ]iro-

The  ouija  glided  to

The  Yellow  Typhoon 

Told  in  story  form  from  the  Anita  Stewart  Photoplay 
By    PEARL   MALVERN 


IT  was  not  until  the  bkue  of  i)ublicit.v  had  died  and  been 
decently  interred  that  Hilda  could  bear  to  speak  of  The  Yel- 
low Typhoon.  It  was  not  until  her  own  honeymoon  was  on 
the  wane,  and  life  had  assumed,  once  more,  normal  proportions, 
a  normal  persi)ecti\e.  Then,  one  evening,  before  an  open  grate 
she  began  to  tell  her  husband  of  the  twin  sister,  known  to  the 
world,  sinislerly.  as  The  Yellow  Typhoon.  I"or.  looking  into 
the  flames,  *he  had  begun  to  see  pictures  and  the  im|)elling  need 
of  speech  descended  upon  her.  She  saw  herself  and  llerta 
at  pla\,  twin  sisters,  with,  at  first  glance,  no  apprecialile  differ- 
ence save  the  shade  of  hair.  Her  own  the  dark,  somber  brown 
it  still  was,  Herta's  a  mop  of  belligerent  yellow,  which  had  given 
to  her  face  a  curious  stalking  look,  the  look  of  /"''I'V.  She 
could  recall  little  fragmentary  odds  and  ends  out  of  their  child- 
hood.    Their  mother 


saymg,  m  a  worn 
voice.  "1  am  sure  1 
dent  know  what  will 
c't'cr  become  of 
r.erta!"  .\dding,  al 
wa\s.  "Hilda  is  so 
fiilircly  ditTerent,  it 
is  difficult  even  for 
me  to  believe  that 
the>  are  twins."  ( )r, 
vividly,  ISerta  de- 
ni  a  n  d  i  n  g 


most  uished  to  pla\  in  her  favorite  game;  the  desk  in  schooj 
she  herself  coveted  :  the  share  of  candy,  or  fruit,  always  the 
major  sh;ire.  Her  own  remonstrances,  gradually  weakening 
under  the  insidious  and  generally  terrifying  threats  llerta 
would  niake  .  .  .  .And  then,  as  they  grew  ai)ace,  little  by  little, 
the  divergence  of  their  interests,  the  intolerance  of  their  mutual 
jjoints  of  view.  It  was  all,  .seen  now,  in  the  still  red  glare  of 
the  recent  traged>,  painful  in  the  extreme. 

Still,  she  had  always  known  that  the  story  of  The  Yellow 
Tv|)hoon  must  some  day  be  told,  and  to  one  so  important  as 
the  man  at  her  side,  in  whose  life  The  Yellow  Typhoon  had 
(lipped  her  vulture-like  fingers  before  the  end. 

.^nd  so  she  began  by  sketching,  in  graphic  bits,  their  twin 
birth,  their  early  ajiparent  dissimilarity  of  character  and  dis- 
position, the  slow  but  very  sure  way  in  which  lierta  had  broken 
their  mother's  heart  and  ended  her  gentle  and  terrified  life. 

"Mother  gave  us  a  complete  absorption,"  Hilda  said;  "she 
had.  she  felt,  failed  personally  in  a  great  many  ways.  Her  vital 
hope  was  that  we  might  atone,  might  shrive  that  failure,  h'roni 
the  beginning,  1  see  it  now,  and  mother,  being  .so  wise,  must 
have  seen  that  from  the  first,  Kerta  gave  omen  of  her  end.  There 
was.  1  know  not  how,  something  wicked  in  I'.erta.  W  icked  is 
the  only  word  for  it.  The  sort  of  wickedness  that,  in  a  woman 
or  a  good  man,  congeals  the  blood,  and  in  a  bad  man  fires  it." 
Mathison  interpolated:  "Hallowell  wasn't  bad — " 
Hilda  nodded.  She  knew  Mathison's  deep  devotion  for  the 
man  who  had  been  his  friend  as  well  as  his  chief.  She  savored 
the  resentment  he  must  feel  for  The  Yellow  Typhoon  because 
of  Hallowell.  So  many  peoi)le  dear  to  her  had  suffered  because 
of  The  Yellow  Typhoon!  Over  that  desecrated  grave  the 
tears  that  dropt  were  said  with  self-])ity. 

"Xo,  he  wasn't  bad,"  she  -said,  gently,  compassionately;  "he 
wasn't.  He  was  (/ood.  iSut  I  think,  dear,  that  of  all  who 
crossed  her  path  in  that  way,  he  was  the  only  good  one.  He 
was  a  victim  to  her,  then,  untried  capacities  for  evil.  Some 
of  the  fresh  untouchedness  of  her  youth  must  have  lingered 
about  her.  with  promise,  not  of  evil,  but  of  good.  She  had  a 
great  magnetism,  lierta.  Poor  Hallowell  felt  that.  And  feel- 
ing that,  he  was  wilfully  blind  to  the  other  potentialities.  The 
human  animal  is  so  frail  when  its  emotions  are  aroused!  " 
.Mathison  turned  to  study  the  fire-etched  profile.     But  there 

was  no  substratum  of  mean- 
ing .in  Hilda's  words.  She  was 
thinking  solely  of  her  sister 
and  the  havoc  she  had 
w  rought.  She  was  thinking  of 
the  beautiful,  cruel,  forever  un- 
powered  hands,  that  had  taken 
so  many  lives  and  strangled 
them  at  will ;  nothing  more. 

"Rerta  ran  away  with  Hal- 
lowell, as  you  know,"   Hilda 
v\'ent  on   more  briskly ;  "and 
two  weeks  thereafter  a  body 
was  found  in  the  river  dressed 
in    Berta's    clothes,    wearing 
Berta's    jewels,    with    Berta's 
light  hair,  and,  what  we  could 
see  of   her,  a  general   resem- 
blance to   Berta  in  form  and 
feature.       Hallowell    had 
dropped  from  the  face  of  the 
earth — and   we   identified  the 
body  as  Berta's.     Mother  and 
I  surmised  a  tragedy,  of  de- 
sertion, prob- 
abl_\',  or  mere- 
ly    an     out- 
come  of   one 
of      Berta's 
horrible  rages

light  of  the  room  a  spray  of  angry  .gold,  not  unlike  the  van- 
quished head  of  The  'i'ellow  Typhoon.  The  man  and  the 
woman,  sensing  it.  shuddered. 

"I  began  my  work  in  the  V\'ashington  headquarters  of  the 


■iecret  Service."  said  Hilda;  "I 
^d  the  power,  I  believe,  of 
hurling  myself  into  obliteration 
of  other  things  by  work,  more 
work,  arduous,  concentrated 
work.  P>y  work  I  lived,  and  by 
work  I  was  able  to  ])reserve  my 
sanity  in  the  balance,  if  I  had 
had  time  to  think  of  those  two 
lives  of  which  I  was  so  integral 
a  part. 

".^fter  awhile  the  work  of  the 
Secret  Service  gripped  me.  I 
thrilled  to  it.  every  nerve.  .\nd 
...  I  made  good  at  it,  as  you 
know.  ' 

MatliiMin  squeezed  the  delib- 
erately relaxed  hand  hanging 
over  the  side  of  her  chair. 

"There  came  my  mission  to 
.Manila,  '  said  Hilda,  "as  protec- 
tion for  Hallowell  on  his  antici- 
pated tri])  home  uith  the  plans 
for  rendering  submarine  warfare 
inutile  .  .  .  Ho  you  remember 
that  day?" 

"Do  I  ?"  .Mathison  gave  a  short 
laugh.  "Do  ycni  remember  the 
things  that  1  said  to  you?  ( >h, 
my  child !" 

"The  most  acute  thing,  of 
course, "said  Hilda, "was  the  fact 
you  presented  to  me.  indubitably, 
that  I'lerta  was  alive.  You  said, 
so  coldly.  John,  You  bear  a  re- 
markable resemblance  to  The 
Yellow  Typhoon,'  and  you  stud- 
ied my  credentials  with  even 
more  than  customary  scrutiny  as 
you  spoke. 

"I  said,  'Why;  what  do  you 
mean?  \\'ho  is  The  Yellow  Ty- 
phoon ?'  And  then  you  told  me 
of  the  yellow-haired  woman  with 
the  cruel  mouth  and  the  defiant 
eyes  who  was  suspected  of  being 
in  Manila  for  no  good  purpose. 
'We  are  of  the  impression,'  you 
said  to  ine,  watching  me  with 
sort  of  lynx  eyes,  'we  are  of  the 
impression  that  The  Yellow  Ty- 
phoon is  in  Manila  with  the  ex- 
press purpose  of  becoming  better 
acquainted  with  Mr.  Hallowell's 
general  plans.'  How  cleverly, 
and  with  what  meaning  you  said 
tliat,  dear  I  I  asked  you  more  about  The  Yellow  Typhoon,  and 
yon  told  me  of  the  woman  who  had,  at  one  time,  some  connec- 
tion with  Hallowell  :  who  had  run  a  large,  a  very  notorious,  a 
very  horrible  gambling  house  in  the  Orient  and  who  had  eloped 
with  one  of  her  patrons,  a  man  called  Lysgaard,  after  staking 
herself  and  her  place  agairist  a  priceless  diamond  necklace — 
losing,  ^'ou  told  me  that  you  did  not  doubt  but  that  The 
^'ellou■  Typhoon,  having  left  on  lier  transcontinental  trip  with 
Lysgaard.  a  lurid  pathway,  was  in  Manila  for  huge  stakes. 
'.She  has  got.'  you  .aid,  'to  slake  her  blood  with  hotter  fevers 
than  even  the  Orient,  which  she  has  lapped  up,  can  supply. 
.She  lias  come  here  for  the  fevers.  \o\i  told  me  other  things, 
little  things  and  big  things,  and  in  tlie  telling  you  etched  Berta 
as  perfecti)  for  me  as  tho  xou  had  jircsented  her  to  me  in  the 
tlcsh.  I  felt  faint,  and  showeil  it,  and  you  thought  that  my 
being,  as  it  were,  found  out,  had  caused  the  temporary  illness. 
You  should  have  known,  dear,  that  it  wotild  lake  more  than  a 
tentative  recognition  to  shake  the  aplomb  of  The  ^'cllow  Ty-

Hilda,  tensely  now, 
took  up  the  thread.  She 
k  n  e  w  that  Mathison 
would  hesitate  to  supply 
tlie  piece  that  fitted  in 
here. 

"That  night  Hallowell 
found  I.ysgaard  and 
Berta  ririing  his  trunk," 
she  said,  "and  Berta  .  .  . 
no,  not  Berta.  The  Yel-

there  was  1  I  ' 

There  was  a  little

dwindled  to  gre>'  ash. 
.Mathison  said,  "My  first

rather  than  ])rofessional. 
I  was  ashamed,  but  it 
was  so.  1  thought,  in- 
voluntarily, '("lod.  dont

"You  dear,"  said 
Hilda. 

"Shall  we  go  on  with

tenderly,  "I  am  afraid  it 
is  too  much  for  you.  Is 
it  necessary  ?"

'■.\nd  all  the  while."  broke  in  Hilda,  unsteadily,  "The  Nellow

what  a  terrific  way  she  nuist  have  gone  I" 

"Then  the  attempt  on  the  way  over."  .\lalhison  tilled  in  the 
silence  that  seemed  almost  to  palpitate  between  them  with  the 
strange  personalit)-  of  the  dead  girl,  "and  lite  way  you,  every 
time.  dear,  intervened.  .\nd  the  figbf  1  fought  with  myself! 
.\gainst  the  fascination,  the  <lear  warm  fascination  yon  lield  for 
me,  and  my  shrinking  fear  of  your  identity.  If  Herta  had  not

myself,  .'^ince  she  was,  I  feel  that  my  suspicion  nuist  ncces- 
sarilv  be  somewhat  condoned.  Small  wonder  that  1  tbouglit 
as  I'did!" 

"I  used  to  feel  sometimes."  said  llilda,  rather  dreamily,  "as 
tho  even  now,  Herta  was  holding  from  me  the  thing  I  wanted 
most  e\enjis  she  had  done  in  childhood.  1  knew,  too,  on  that 
sea  voyage,  dear.  I  knew  so  surely, 
so  sweetly,  with  such  a  ))ang  of 
pleasure  and  of  pain.  .\nd  I 
thought  that  the  best  and  the  worst 
of  it  would  lie  tb.at  I  would  have  to 
hug  my  knowledge  to  mv  breast, 
solitarily.  1  thought  you  could 
never  care  for  me  .  .  .  because  of 
The  N'ellow  Typhoon." 


"And  you  told  me  of 
the  woman  who  had 
eloped  with  one  of  her 
patrons,  a  man  called 
Lysgaard,  after  staking 
herself  and  her  place 
against  a  priceless  dia- 
mond necklace

They  sat  in  silence  for  awhile,  and  it  almost  seemed  to  them 
in  that  liusbed  hour  as  tho  the  tumultuous,  restless  spirit  uf  The 
^'ellow  Typhoon  lireathed  between  tbcni — was  it  compassion- 
ately:' 

"Then  we  landed."  wbisjiered  Hilda,  "and  I  followed  you  to 
your  hotel.  T  took  the  suite  above  yovi.  I  was  not  sure  but  1 
liad  every  reason  to  believe  thjit  I'.erta  and  Lysgaard  would 
also  go  to  the  same  place.  1  had  a  twofold  reason  then  for 
wishing  you  to  reach  Washington  safely.  My  lo\e  of  my 
country  and  my  love  of  .  .  .  my  man.  I  determined  that  no 
vigilance  ever  known  should  .surpass  mine.  Waking  and  sleep- 
ing you  should  be  under  my  sur\eillance.  ^  .\nd  von  were.  I 
knew  that  night,  that  red  and  terrible  night,  that  the  sounds 
I  beard  in  ycnir  room  beneath  my  own.  were  not  the  sounds 
you  made  in  i^rejiaring  for  bed.  I  had  come  to  know  your 
every  movement,  dear.  To  anticilJate,  to  follow.  1  had  come 
to  thrill  to  each  sound  you  made  after  the  key  turned  in  your 
latch.  On  that  night,  things  were  different.  There  was  no 
deliberate  dro))|iing  of  two  shoes  .  .  .  how  I  used  to  smile 
at  the  same  deliberation,  my  own.  There  was  no  soft  wdiistling 
following  the  short  sharp  shower  in  your  bath.  'I'here  was  no 
shuflling  and  rulfling  of  innumerable  newsjiapers  before  the 
light  was  snap])ed  out.  I  followed  the  regime  thai  night  .  .  . 
and  it  was  not  the  same. 

"1  knew  it  was  The  Yellow  Typhoon  at  work. 

"My  love  of  you  formed  for  nie,  then,  a  sort  of  protective 
barrier  against  the  thing  I  had  to  do.  If  it  had  not  been  you  I 
was  going  to  protect,  [lerhap,^:  to  save,  there  might  have  come 
to  me  the  chill  that  I  was  giving  my  own  sister,  my  nearest 
of  llesh  and  blood,  over  to  the  law.  1  might  have  been  halted 
in  my  rigorous  duty,  for  the  sake  of  a  softer  tie.  Hut  that 
night  nothing  mattered — only  you.  I  thought  of  your  deep 
friendship  for  Hallowell — now  dead.  1  thought  of  the  cour- 
ageous sea  trip  yoit  had  made,  guarding  those  plans,  his  plans, 
with  your  life,  for  honor's  sake.  I  thought  of  .  .  .  oh,  love, 
forgive  my  heart  talking  to  me  in  that  hour  ...   I  thought  of 


(FiftyeiffM) 


CLASSIC 


the  moon-flooded  nights  at  sea 
when  yotu'  dear  heart  spoke,  in 
your  eyes,  to  me.  and  your  dear 
mute  mouth  was  still. 

"There  they  were !  I5erta  and 
Lysgaard,  over  your  trunk,  mul- 
ling up  your  papers,  throwing 
your  things  aside.  Berta,  my 
sister,  and  the  man  who  was  the 
aider  and  abetter  of  the  crimes 
that  were  making  her  infamous 
.  .  .  It  was  a  bitter  sort  of 
moment,  if  it  had  not  been  for 
my  love  of  you !" 

"And  you  held  them  at  bay," 
the  man  whispered,  half  inaudi- 
bly,  "there,  in  the  night,  alone, 
splendidly,  until  I  came  with  the 
police  who  had  called  me  to  the 
desk  in  order  that  I  might  dis- 
prove the  lies  Lysgaard  had  been 
spreading  about  me.  The  police 
were  with  me  at  a  fortuitous  mo- 
ment. They  saw  The  Yellow 
Typhoon  and  her  mate.  They 
caught  them  with  the  papers  .  .  . 
and  I  think,  dear,  oh,  I  feel  cer- 
tain that  after  Lysgaard  started 
the  firing  it  was  the  police  who 
shot  them  down.  Your  revolver 
and  mine  had  nothing  to  do, 
Hilda,  with  the  two  who  are  no 
more. 

"It  is  hard  to  evolve  out  of  a 
chaos  of  shouts  and  groans  and 
threats  and  pleas  any  sort  of 
clear  conce])tion.  and  yet,  oddly 
enough,  something  told  me,  some 
instinct,  that  I  should  know  just 
what  w'as  transpiring,  jirecisely 
what  was  trans]>iring.  The 
same  instinct  told  me  that  I 
should  need  it.  After  this  is 
over,  ran  thru  my  mind,  after 
this  is  over  I  shall  need  to  make 
some  .sort  of  explanation.  I 
think  it  must  have  been  your 
valiant  courage  in  holding  your 

own  flesh  and  blood  at  bay  for  the  greater  sake  of  a  greater 
cause.  That  fired  me.  dear.  The  last  doubt,  too,  had  fallen 
from  me.  I  saw  the  likeness  and  I  saw  the  difference  .  .  . 
the  same  flesh  and  the  same  blood,  the  same  features,  the  same 
lines,  the  color  of  The  Yellow  Typhoon  that  drove  men  mad 
for  love  of  her  and  the  spirit  of  a  brooding  Madonna  in  you 
that  made  a  man  worship  you.  I  know  that.  An  instinct 
deeper  than  I  can  fathom  tells  me  that  this  is  so.  It  is  .so. 
Dear  ..." 

"It  is  all  over  with  her  now,  poor,  passionate  soul,"  Hilda 
murmured.  "I  hope  she  is  at  rest  .  .  .  she  never  was  in  life. 
I  like  to  think  that  that  little  smile  on  her  mouth  was  one  of 
commiseration  for  all  the  jiain  she  had  caused  on  earth  and 
one  of  hope  for  the  salvation 
she  was  going  to  find  in 
Heaven." 

"Amen  to  that,"  said 
Mathison  ;  "hers  was  a  con- 
summate expiation." 

The  fire  fell  away  and  the 
room  was  in  darkness.  Mathi- 
son stooped  over  and  replen- 
ished the  logs.  When  he  had 
done,  the  flames  leaped  forth 
again  and  fell  athwart  the 
walls  in  broad  bands  of  scar- 
iet  and  gold.

THE  consciousness  of  un- 
becoming or  unattractive 
clothes  may  hurt — but  it 
cannot  strike  deep  down  as  can 
the  fear  that  you  are  judged 
wanting  in  real  refinement.  That 
you  are  judged  unmistakably 
lacking  in  personal  nicety. 

How  uncomfortable  this  fear 
can  make  you  !  How  many  times 
magnified  any  shortcoming  which 
may  cause  it  becomes  in  your 
own  eyes ! 

Of  all  the  indications  of  per- 
sonal refinement  the  most  sig- 
nificant, next  to  personal  cleanli- 
ness, is  well-kept  nails.  To  many, 
ill-kept  nails  indicate  more  than 
carelessness,  they  indicate  actual 
\ulgarity. 

A  few  minutes  of  the  right 
kind  of  care,  once  or  twice  a 
week,  will  keep  your  nails  and 
cuticle  always  exquisite.  The 
most  important  part  of  the  mani- 
cure is  the  care  of  the  cuticle. 
You  must  never  cut  it,  for  cutting 


ruins  the  cuticle.  But  with  the 
Cutex  way  you  can  always  have 
perfect  nails  and  cuticle. 

Wrap  a  little  cotton  around 
the  end  of  an  orange  stick  (both 
come  in  the  Cutex  package).  Dip 
it  in  the  bottle  of  Cutex  and  work 
around  the  base  of  the  nails. 
Then  wash  the  hands,  gently 
pushing  back  the  cuticle  with   a 


Lute 
ens 


and    harinti'ssly    Jc/f- 
i.i'.-j     surplus    .iitiilc 


towel.  The  surplus  cuticle  will 
disappear,  lea\ing  a  firm,  even, 
delicate  base. 

If  you  like  snowy  white  nail 
tips  apply  a  little  Cutex  Nail 
White  underneath  the  nail. 
P'inish  your  manicure  with  Cutex 
Nail  Polish.  P"or  an  especially 
brilliant  lasting  polish,  use  Cutex 
Paste  Polish  first,  then  the  Cutex 
Cake  or  Powder  Polish. 


If  your  cuticle  has  a  tendency 
to  dry  or  grow  coarse,  apply  a 
bit  of  Cutex  Cold  Cream  each 
night.  This  cream  was  especially 
prepared  to  keep  the  hands  and 
cuticle  soft  and  fine. 

Give  yourself  a  Cutex  rnani- 
cure  regularly,  once  or  twice  a 
week,  and  you  can  have  nails 
that  you  are  always  proud  of. 

Cutex  is  on  sale  at  all  drug 
and  department  stores.  Cutex 
Cuticle  Remover,  Nail  White, 
Nail  Polish  and  Cold  Cream  are 
each  35  cents  —  the  Cuticle 
RernoNcr  comes  also  in  65-cent

Mildred  Davis,  who  plays 
opposite  Harold  Lloyd,  is 
a  descendant  of  William 
Penn,  and  she  herself 
comes  of  a  Quaker  family. 
Altho  she  is  but  nineteen, 
she  has  had  much  screen 
experience  with  Mutual, 
Metro,  Bluebird  and 
Pathe 


•'T  Y/^^'-'LI'N't  William  turn 
\^  over  in  his  grave  if 
he  could  see  me  as  a 
movie  actress?"  demanded 
Mildred  Davis,  Harold 
Lloyd's  petite  leading  woman, 
with  a  giggle  that  revealed 
two  piquant  dimples  at  once. 

"William— 'Shakespeare  ?" 
we  hazarded  vaguely,  really 
khowing  nothing  about  Mildred's  forebears. 

"William  Penn,"  slic  corrected  me.  "Why,  yes,  I'm  a 
Quakeress — all  my  people  came  from  Pennsylvania,  and 
I'm  a  lineal  descendant  of  the  dear  old  Hill  who  sold  the 
State  to  the  Indians,  »f  bought  it  from  them — or  some- 
thing.    1  never  can  remember  history." 

The  famous  Quaker  probably  did  turn  over  in  his  grave 
just  then  ;  but  ancestors  cannot  e.xpect  to  be  taken  seriously 
by  nineteen-year-old  descendants  with  curly  gold  hair, 
baby-pink  skin  and  bluish-green  eyes.  Mildred.  sup])lied 
the  optical  adjectives,  or  I  shouldn't  have  dared.  No,  she 
doesn't  take  her  illustrious  lineage  seriously  at  all.  The 
past  does  not  concern  her — just  the  jiresent. 

In  spite  of  the  fact  that  she  has  played  with  Mutual, 
Metro,  Bluebird  and  Pathe,  and  has  risen  to  the  dignity  of 
co-featuring  with  Harold  Lloyd,  she  is  just  a  little  girl, 
with  the  likes  and  dislikes  of  young  girlh'-  id. 

"I  began  as  a  movie  fan  when  I  was  welve,"  she  said, 
with  her  little-girl  smile.     "I  had  the  walls  of  my  room

Keep  their  Hair  beautiful 


PROPER  SHAMPOOING  is  what  makes  beautiful  hair. 
It  brings  out  all  the  real  life,  lustre,  natural  wave  and 
color,  and  makes  it  soft,  fresh  and  luxuriant. 

Your  hair  simply  needs  frequent  and  regular  washing 
to  keep  it  beautiful,  but  it  cannot  stand  the  harsh  effect 
of  ordinary  soap.  The  free  alkali  m  ordinary  soaps,  soon 
dries  the  scalp,  makes  the  hair  brittle  and  ruins  it.  This 
is  why  leading  motion  picture  stars,  theatrical  people 
and  discriminating  women  use

This  clear,  pure  and  entirely  grease-

does  not  dry  the  scalp  or  make  the  hair 
lirittle,  no  matter  how  often  you  use  it. 
Two  or  three  teaspunfuls  will  cleanse 
the  hair  and  scalp  thorougWy.  Simply 
moisten  the  hair  with  water  and  rub 
it  in.  It  makes  ar,  abundance  of  rich, 
creamy  lather,  which  rinses  out  easily, 
removing  every  pari'^icle  oi  dust,  dirt,

The  hair  dries  quickly  and  evenly, 
and  has  the  appearance  of  being  much 
thicker  and  heavier  than  it  is.  It  leaves

liou.';e  and  he  often  spends  his  Sundays 
there,  that  is,  of  eourse,  when  he  worUs 
in  Los  .Snjjeles.  Working  at  Culver  City, 
half  way  hetween  Los  Angeles  and  the 
lieach.  lie  can  make  his  choice,  tho 
from  there  the  \'enice  house  is  the  more 
easily  reached.  He  ahsolutely  refused  to 
let  me  describe  either  place. 

"The  \'enicc  house  is  just  a  camp,"  he 
said,  "There  isn't  a  thing  in  it,  or  in  the 
Rampart  .Street  house  in  Los  ,\ngeles, 
that  belongs  to  me :  all  my  things  are  in 
storage." 

"Mine  too,"  said  Mary  Alden,  w-ho  had 
joined  us. 

"But,"  I  argued,  'you  can  impress 
your  own  personality  on  even  a  vented 
house  if  you  live  in  it  long  eno'.'jgh.  The 
same  is  true  of  motor-cars   ,    ,    ," 

".■\nd  of  wives,"  said  t'ne  irrepressible 
Rose, 

"For  instance,  you  might  marry  me 
tomorrow  ,  ,  ,  as  a  miatter  of  fact,  he  is 
going  to  marry  me  ttjmorrow,  aint  you, 
John  ? 

"I  am  if  Fate  doe.sn't  step  in  again  and 
prevent,"  said  Stoue  with  very  little  evi- 
dence of  enthusiasm.  The  wedding  .  .  , 
for  picture  purposes  only  .  ,  ,  was  to  have 
taken  place  ths.t  day  on  "location"  in 
Pasadena,  but  had  been  postponed  be- 
cause it  was  raining  steadily  and  blowing 
big  hurricanes, 

"Anyway."  Rose  went  on,  ''we  inight 
be  walking  down  the  street  and  some 
one  might  see  us  and  say :  'Isn't  that  so- 
and-so's  wife  .'    She  looks  like  him!'  " 

"I  think  that's  a  myth,"  said  Stone. 
"I  d()nt  believe  that  association  ever 
change's  one'i=i  physiognomy.  Environ- 
ment might,  bu"t  not  association. 

"For  instance,  I  might  have  been  very 
different  in  appearance  if  I  had  followed 
my  first  ambition.  I  ti;ought  that  the  big- 
gest thing  I  could  be  was  a  captain  on  an 
ocean-going  liner.  I  worked  on  a  ship 
for  seven  months  without  pay,  only  ask- 
ing to  be  taught  something  of  navigation. 
I  worked  harder  then  than  I  have 
worked  at  any  other  time  before,  or  since, 
in  my  life. 

"Finally,  I  considered  myself  quali- 
fied, only  to  learn  that  I  could  not  get  a 
pilot's  license  until  I  was  twenty-one 
years  old.  As  I  was  then  about  sixteen, 
life  looked  very  hopeless  to  me.  Shortly 
after  this,  the  Spanish-American  war 
began,  and  I  marched  away  with  a  crowd 
of  boys  as  young  as  myself,  all  of  us  feel- 
ing very  heroic  indeed. 

"Of  course,  all  of  that  seems  like  a 
verv  comic-opera  sort  of  little  fuss,  re- 
membering it  in  comparison  with  the  war 
we  have  just  been  thru.  But  it  was 
all  very  exciting  to  us  then.  Incidentally, 
it  was  while  I  was  in  the  army  that  I 
went  broke  for  the  first  time.  We  had 
been  stationed  in  Cuba  for  four  months 
and  during  that  time  none  of  us  had  been 
paid,  .■Xs  a  result,  I  hadn't  seen  anything 
of  the  nearby  town.  At  last  a  regiment 
arrived  from  Massachusetts  and  I  went 
down  to  look  them  over  and  see  if  I  knew 


any  one.  (  Stone's  home  is  about  thirty 
miles  from  lloston.)  I  soon  made 
friends  among  them  and  one  of  the  boys 
asked  me  what  I  thought  of  the  town. 
I  said  that  1  hadn't  been  there.  'Why?"' 
he  asked.  'Because,'  I  said,  'there's 
no  use  going  there  without  any  money,' 
He  said  that  he  would  let  me  have  some 
monex-  and,  in  support  of  his  word,  ict 
me  have  an  .American  ten-cent  piece,  I 
changed  it  for  rentavos,  getting  ten  cen- 
tavos  for  every  American  cent.  Then  I 
took  my  three  tent  mates  with  me  to 
town  and  we  had  a  wonderfuJ  time, 

"We  could  get  a  glass  of  peculiarly 
hectic  drink  for  one  centavo.  and  a 
guava  fruit  sandwich,  which  was  quite 
delicious,  for  the  same  price.  Cigars 
were  two  centavos  each.  So  we  not  only 
had  a  feast,  we  had  some  money  left 
when  we  got  thru, 

"This  is  in  sharp  contrast,"  he  re- 
marked, "to  the  profiteering  one  has  to 
put  up  with  today, 

"For  instance,"  he  said^  "last  Sunday 
I  bought  two  Los  Angeles  newspapers  in 
\'enice  and  was  charged  twelve  and  a 
half  cents  each  for  them.  With  Los 
.Angeles  only  fifteen  miles  away,  this  is 
absurd ;  I  could  have  gotten  the  London 
Times  cheaper !  It  is  this  type  of  small 
profiteering  that  is  so  peculiarly  exas- 
perating. One  is  practically  helpless  to 
do  anything  about  it,"  It  is  character- 
istic of  Stone's  lack  of  self-confidence 
that  he  did  not  choose  the  stage  as  his 
profession,  but  followed  it  with  splendid 
success  after  another  man  had  chosen  it 
for  him.  This  was  A,  Q,  Skannon  of 
Xew  York  and  the  whole  incident  was, 
apparently,  the  result  of  the  merest 
caprice  of  Fate, 

"I  had  just  left  the  army,"  said  Stone, 
"and  was  looking  for  work,  I  visited 
the  navy  yard,  hoping  to  find  something 
there,  but  the  only  demand  was  for  car- 
penters, skilled  mechanics,  etc,  I  made 
a  list  to  show  to  the  boys  in  camp  and 
bought  a  magazine  for  myself  to  read  on 
the  way  back, 

"At  this  time,  vaudeville  sketches  were 
just  beginning  to  be  shown.  Among  the 
stories  in  the  magazine  I  was  reading, 
was  one  that  I  thought  would  make  a 
good  vaudeville  sketch.  Without  know- 
ing anything  about  dramatic  construc- 
tion, I  dramatized  it  and  showed  it  to  an 
uncle  of  mine  who  was  in  the  profession, 
I  suppose  he  thought  it  bad  enough  to  be 
really  funny  and  decided  to  pass  his  laugh 
along.  Anyway,  he  gave  me  a  letter  of 
introduction  to  a  booking  agent  in  New 
York,  While  I  was  in  this  man's  office, 
Skannon  came  in.  He  looked  me  over, 
'What's  your  line?'  he  said,  I  didn't 
know  what  he  was  talking  about,  'Ju- 
venile, leads,  heavies  or  what  ?'  he  added, 
I  explained  that  I  wasn't  an  actor,"  (But 
here  is  where  the  advantage  of  belonging 
to  a  theatrical  family  comes  in,) 


"You  can  read,  cant  you?"   Skannon 
asked,

made  him  an  offer,  and  as  he  had  become 
fascinated  with  this  new  art,  he  promptly 
accepted.  So,  instead  of  carrying  his 
bride  back  to  New  York,  as  he  had 
planned,  he  remained  to  direct  her  pic- 
tures and  the  successful  combination  of 
Bennett  &  Co.,  Inc.,  was  effected! 

"I  came  to  stay  two  weeks  and  have 
remained  two  years,"  said  Mr.  Niblo. 
"I  sent  for  my  belongings,  we  bought 
this  house,  and  for  the  first  tim«  in  my 
life  I  have  a  real  home." 

"See  what  you  got  by  marrying  me!" 
teased  Enid. 

"The  home  is  only  the  frame  for  the 
picture !"  gaily  retorted  Fred,  with  his 
grandest  bow. 

"Fred's  weakness  is  prowling  about 
the  book-stores,  and  he  is  on  intimate 
terms  with  all  the  book-collectors  in  the 
vicinity,"  remarked  Miss  Bennett,  as  we 
entered  the  cosy  library  opening  off  the 
drawing-room. 

"This  room  is  the  heart  of  the  house, 
for  this  is  where  we  really  live,"  proudly 
announced  Mr.  Niblo.  "Here  we  study 
our  scripts,  work  out  new  bits  and  plan 
many  of  the  scenes  that  finally  reach  the 
screen." 

The  mahogany  book-cases  lining  the 
room  contain  an  extensive  and  rare  col- 
lection which  is  a  veritable  treasure- 
house  and  makes  one  long  for  unlimited 
hours  in  which  to  dip  into  its  riches. 
Above  tlie  books  are  a  number  of  auto- 
graphed portraits  of  famous  actors,  sug- 
gesting many  happy  stage  associations. 

The  third  floor  of  the  house  is  one 
long  room,  which  they  have  merrily 
dubbed  the  Chamber  of  Horrors,  for 
here  are  the  remarkable  souvenirs  and 
relics  which  Mr.  Niblo  collected  during 
his  extensive  foreign  travels. 

"Fred  and  I  had  such  fun  arranging 
these  things,"  said  Enid,  as  we  examined 
the  treasures,  representing  many  nations, 
tribes  and  peoples,  "for  he  told  me  the 
interesting  sfory  connected  with  each  one 
and  how  and  where  he  secured  it." 

"IVanderlust!"  I  exclaimed.  "How 
does  he  escape  its  grip?" 

"Oh,  he  doesn't,"  began  Enid.  "He 
longs  to  be  up  and  away  whenever  he 
hears  of  a  boat  liailing." 

"When  we  finii-h  our  contract  we  are 
going  on  a  long,  long  trip,''  continued 
Mr.  Niblo.  "We  will  take  our  cameras 
and  weave  one  or  two  reel  stories  against 
a  background  of  travsl.  I  was  the  first 
to  take  motion  picture;"-  into  Africa,  and 
I  want  to  cover  the  same  country  again 
— with  Enid." 

At  the  far  end  of  the  room  is  a  pool- 
table,  and  tho  Miss  Bennett  admits  that 
husband  defeats  her  with  tantalizing 
regularity,  yet  the  lure  wil!  not  be 
downed  and  they  indulge  in  a  spirited 
game  every  night  after  dinner. 

"And  your  fads?"  1  asked  the  little  star, 
as  we  returned  to  the  drawing-room. 

"I  have  none  except — P'red !"  she  an- 
swered. "I  love  my  work,  my  home,  my 
garden  and  my  two  dogs — here  tliey  are 
now !"

give  to  them  that  deep,  soulful,  sparkling  expression  which  so  fascinates

mg.  Very  simple  to  use,  merely  moisten  brush  with  water,  rub  over  cake

Shorty 

I  Continued  from  pai/c  37) 
nliiiDst  two  years  with  Harry  Pollard, 
cnjoyiiif;  comedy,  since  Iiumor  appeals  to 
Antrim  Short,  and  finally  with  Bob 
\'i^'nola,  his  close  friend  and  a  man 
whom  he  fairly  worshi])s.  I  liked  his  en- 
thnsiasm   when  describini;  Mr.  N'ignola. 

"There  will  be  a  lot  of  f/ood  directors, 
iho,  now  that  the  country  has  j^one  dry," 
Mr.  Short  said,  sajjely. 

With  Vivian  Martin,  Antrim  Short 
a|)peared  in  "The  Petticoat  Pilot"  and 
'The  Third  Kiss,"  later  with  Constance 
Tahnadge  in  "Romance  and  Arabella," 
and  in  a  propaganda  story  which  came 
into  being  a  little  late,  as  the  armistice 
was  declared — that  was  "The  Yellow 
Ticket,"  you  remember. 

"With  liert  Lytell,  in  'The  Right  of 
Way,'  I  play  a  good  part.  I  like  'em  to 
change  from  crooks  to  sweethearts, 
drunken  younger  brothers  to  dudish 
chappies  with  monocles,  boys — like  in 
'Rebecca  of  Sunnybrook  Farm' — and  all 
that  stuff,  you  know,"  he  volunteered. 

"Seems  to  me  you  have  hit  Universal 
City  quite  often  in  your  travels,"  I  sug- 
gested. 

"Always  glad  to  get  back  home  and  to 
mother's  cooking,"  he  smiled  cheerily 
again.  "Funny  how  we  all  hike  again  to 
Universal,  isn't  it  ?  Well,  you're  sure  of 
a  square  meal  when  you  belong  to  that 
outfit,  anyway.  Pm  welcome  at  Daddy 
I^aemmle's  table  any  time — quite  com- 
forting, that!" 

"Do  you  fly  often?"  we  ventured. 

"Three  times  a  week  I  go  to  Crescent 
Junction  and  Wilshire  Pioulevard,  to  the 
Mercury  Field,  and  it's  the  one  big  hobby 
of  my  life — nothing  on  earth  can  com- 
pare with  flying,"  answered  the  young 
man,  as  he  described  enthusiastic  circles 
w"ith.  his  arms.  "I  am  a  speed-crank — 
and  you  cant  get  up  speed  on  earth.  I 
have  to  zi'alk  to  the  studio  every  day, 
because  I  am  so  afraid  of  the  speed  cojjs." 

"Automobile  racing  ought  to  suit  you  !" 

"I  want  to  awfully — I  mean  race.  I 
think  there's  less  danger  of  smash-ups  in 
the  air  than  on  the  track,  so.  for  my 
part,  the  shi|)  is  good  enough  for  speed. 
.Mother  hasn't  much  time  for  auto 
races !" 

".And  I  sujipose  you're  a  very  obedient 
son  ?" 

"I  should  .say.  Mother  says  I  run  a 
\ery  good  average — as  boys  go."

MOTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC 

For  the  Soul  of  Raphael 

(Continued  from  page  43) 

Then  the  sound  of  his  footsteps  hurry- 
ing into  the  hacienda.  Marta  Hfted  her 
face  to  the  sky.  Perhaps — yonder  Dona 
Luisa  was  peering  down,  reminding  her 
of  her  vow — "to  save  the  soul  of  Ra- 
phael— — " 

She  stepped  out  into  the  moonlight, 
facing  the  hard  look  of  the  golden-haired 
American.  "You  do  not  love  him — love 
saves.  You  would  destroy  him.  body 
and  soul,"  Marta  said  steadily.  "I  will 
not  let  you  have  his  soul !" 

"What  are  you  going  to  do  about  it?" 
sneered  the  other  woman,  secure  in  the 
knowledge  of  her  power.  "You  talk  like 
a  third-rate  melodrama!" 

Marta  came  close  to  her.  Her  eyes 
flashed,  but  her  voice  was  low  and  con- 
trolled. "I  have  made  a  vow  to  the 
Mother  of  God  to  stand  guard  over  the 
soul  of  Raphael." 

A  snarl  behind  them  drew  their  eyes  to 
the  figure  of  Raphael  Arteaga,  face  con- 
vulsed with  anger,  strange-colored  fires 
flashing  from  the  jewels  he  held  in  his 
hand.  "You !  I  have  had  enough  of 
you!     Take  your  vow  back  to  God!" 

The  golden-haired  woman  laughed 
softly.  After  all,  marriage  would  be 
more  of  a  triumph ;  then  she  screamed. 
For  a  tall  figure,  head  swathed  in  ban- 
dages, had  stepped  from  the  window  and 
seized  the  arm  raised  above  Marta's 
head.  Raphael  whirled,  stumbled,  tried 
to  save  himself  and  fell,  the  knife  still  in 
his  hand.  On  the  ground  a  shadowy 
figure  writhed  once  or  twice  with  a  hic- 
coughing .sound  and  then  lay  quite  still. 
The  golden-haired  woman  screamed 
again  and  began  to  laugh  insanely  as  she 
bent  over  the  dead  thing  that  had  been 
Raphael. 

In  the  bright  starlight  Marta  and  Keith 
Rryton  faced  one  another.  "A  judgment 
of  God,"  shuddered  Marta,  "a  judg 
ment " 

"Reloved!"  Keith  cried,  "oh,  beloved, 
thank  God  I  came  in  time !"  And  he 
would  have  taken  her  into  his  arms,  but 
she  shook  her  head. 

"Not — yet,"  she  whispered;  "we  must 
not  think  of  ourselves  now."  Her  face, 
pure  like  that  of  some  waxen  saint  in  a 
sacristy,  was  turned  upward  to  the  sky. 
"Mother  of  Sorrows,"  prayed  Marta, 
"intercede  with  Thy  Son  for  the  soul  of 
Raphael "

"Tlien  read  tliis!" 

'  This"  prined  to  be  tlic  leading  part  in 
a  melodrama  named  "Side-tracked." 

Stone  read  it  .  .  .  cues  and  all. 

"That  will  do,"  said  Skannon. 

He  then  explained  that  he  had  a  coin- 
pany  on  the  road,  playing  Canada,  and 
that  the  manager  was  taking  the  place 
of  the  leading  man  who  was  too  ill  to 
finish  the  season.  "When  can  you 
leave?"  he  added. 

"I  had  been  trying  to  find  work  for 
several  weeks  and  was  feeling  somewhat 
at  a  loss  as  to  what  I  should  do,"  said 
Stone.  "Here  was  a  decision  apparently 
made  for  me  by  heaven.  I  accepted, 
and  joined  the  company  at  Belleville. 
Canada. 

"At  first,  the  company  treated  me 
royally.  One  by  one  they  buttonholed 
me  and  told  me  how  much  they  liked  my 
work  and  how  glad  they  were  that 
I  could  finish  the  season  with  them. 
Tlieii  one  by  one  they  told  me  what  the- 
ater I  had  been  playing  in  when  they  last 
saw  nie  and  what  type  of  part  they  were 
certain  suited  me  best.  At  last,  when  I 
could  stand  it  no  longer,  I  got  them  all 
together  and  informed  them  that  I  had 
never  been  on  the  stage  before  in  my  life. 
After  this,  it  was  thumbs  down.  They 
treated  me  like  the  outsider  I  had  an- 
nounced myself  to  be." 

There  was  a  moment's  pause : 

"Do  you  think  that  luck  is  the  big- 
gest factor  of  success  on  the  stage?"  I 
asked. 

"I  think  that  it  is  an  important  factor 
of  success  not  only  on  the  stage,  but 
everywhere,"  he  said. 

"Certainly  an  actor  of  no  -rery  great 
ability  is  often  exceedingly  successful  be- 
cause he  happens  to  be  given  exactly  the 
right  part  under  the  best  possible  condi- 
tions. Rut  isn't  the  same  thing  true  of 
non-professionals?  How  many  men 
have  been  given  credit  for  foresight  and 
sagacity  when,  if  the  truth  were  known, 
all  of  the  credit  would  be  given  to  luck! ' 

.After  finishing  his  first  season.  Stone 
returned  to  Xew  York,  where  he  ap- 
peared in  "Bunny"  at  the  Hudson  Thea- 
ter. He  came  West  in  1906  and  was 
le.iding  man  at  the  ISelasco  Theater  in 
r.os  .Kngeles  for  six  years.  It  was  in 
1907  that  he  married  Margaret  Lang- 
ham,  and  she  retired  from  the  stage, 
never  to  return  to  it  again.  Her  death 
occurred  three  years  ago  while  Stone  was 
at  I'lattsburg,  training  to  "do  his  bit"  in 
the  world  war.  Some  of  Stone's  best- 
known  stage  parts  were  in  such"  plays  as 
"The  Bird  of  Paradise,"  with  Laurette 
Taylor:  "The  Misleading  Lady,"  "In- 
side the  Lines,"  and,  more  recently, 
"Where  Popi)ies  Bloom,"  with  Marjorie 
Rambeau. 

His  first  picture,  made  with  Thomas 
H.  Ince,  was  "Honor's  Altar."  (Others 
are:  'The  Havoc"  and  "According  to 
the  Code,"  for  I'^sanay ;  "Man's  Desire" 
and  "The  Man  of  Bronze,''  from  stories 
which   he   wrote   himself;   "The   River's

Little  Sister,  Huh ! 

i  Continued  from  page  33) 
when  her  mother  journeyed  West  to  be 
with  Jane,  who  had  been  playing  in  pic- 
tures for  some  time.  On  graduating, 
F.va  joined  her  family  in  Los  .\ngeles. 
and  the  day  following  her  arrival  was 
engaged  as  an  extra  by  the  Lois  Weber 
company  at  L'niversal  for  the  production 
Shoes."  She  had  gone  to  the  studio  to 
visit  Jane,  who  was  playing  in  the 
"Graft"  serial,  and  the  fascination  of  il 
all  prompted  her  to  register  at  the  em- 
ployment desk. 

She  "su|>ed"  for  some  time.  Finally 
she  became  an  ingenue  in  L-KO  come- 
dies, where  she  sup[)lied  the  requisite 
feminine  indchritude  for  nearly  two 
years.  Then,  one  day,  she  visited  the 
\ntagraph  plant  and  met  Tom  Mix,  who 
was  also  paying  a  call  on  Larry  Semon. 
Tom  liked  her  looks  and  engaged  her  for 
the  lead  opposite  him  in  '"The  Dare- 
devil," "The  Feud,"  "The  .Speed  Ma- 
niac" and  "One-Quarter  Apache." 

House  Peters  about  this  time  was  re- 
turning to  the  screen  at  the  Garson 
studio,  to  ap|)ear  in  ".Silk  Husbands  and 
Calico  Wives."  Kva  was  cast  opposite 
him.    .\nd  finally  in  a  role  opposite  Hart. 

Strangely  enough,  F.va  has  never  had 
any  great  difficulties  in  making  strides  of 
progress  f)n  the  screen.  The  hardest 
thing  for  her  tf)  do,  she  remarks,  was 
learning  to  do  the  comedy  walk — that 
little  tripping,  snappy  perambulation  in- 
digenous to  the  custard-pie  cuties  of  the 
black-and-bkie  drama.  .\nd  now.  since 
.she's  doing  legitimate  dramatic  .stuflf, 
she's  had  to  unlearn  it  for  the  stately, 
gownly  stride  of  the  tragedy  queen. 

"Oh,  F-ve,"  iinplored  sister  Jane,  "dont 
get  a  dramatic  walk !  It's  worse  than  a 
comedy  wobble." 

But.  just  the  same,  .Miss  Novak,  the 
younger,  has  gone  into  the  .serious  .stuff 
for  keeps.  Temperamentally  she's  been 
created  for  the  emotional  line.  Physi- 
cally— well,  she  should  just  be  merely 
.seen  by  Florenz  Ziegfeld.  .She's  over- 
flowing with  that  concomitant  known 
as  ''pep,"  in  her  mode  of  doing  things, 
of  speech,  in  her  very  piquancy  and  her 
incisive,  keen  wit. 

She's  a  unique  person.  She  has  a 
striking  jiersonality  all  her  own,  and  a 
na'ively  unaffected  manner  of  expressing 
it.     Little  sister--huh !

Lillian  and  Dorothy  stood  outside  the

mav  be  different." 

\\hereat  little  Mary  looked  (iriffith  in

ble has  an  odd  sense  of  humor — a  sort  of 
quiet  appreciation.  Mo.st  of  all,  how- 
ever, he  liates  formality,  "liey,  (.iriff," 
is  the  way  he  launches  his  remarks  to 
the  man  who  stands  at  the  forefront  of 
the  pliotoplay.  Neither  does  llarron 
talk  pro  and  con  about  the  art  of  the 
screen.  "Oh.  this  making  of  motion  pic- 
lures."  he  reni;irks,  when  the  word  .\rt 
is  drawn  into  the  conversation.  He  hates 
to  be  noticed  in  jiublic.  "Dont  know 
uhat  to  do  with  my  hands  when  jieople 
liegin  to  look  at  me,"  he  explains,  lacon- 
ically. 

Imagine  calling  I'ohbie  Mr.  Kolieit

When  some  one  commented  that  Hob- 
ble would  he  the  last  person  in  a  crowd  to 
lie  judged  an  actor,  he  sighed  with 
genuine  relief  and  said  :

THE  N.\MBY-PAMBV  OF  \   NIT: 
DENTISTS 

/?.v  E.  P.  Pilzer 

Dentists  were  brought  into  the  world  to  fill 
■  u  long-felt  want  and  other  cavities  at  so  tnnili 
per  cav. 

.\  dentist  alwa\s  feels  happiest  when  he  is 
down  in  the  month  and  it  does  not  matter 
wliose  month  he  is  down. 

They  are  generally  single,  for,  while  they 
can  alter  the  face,  they  hate  to  face  the  altar. 

IJentisfi  always  like  to  hear  a  false-set  o 
\oice. 

Their   favorite  card  game  is  "liridge." 

They  hate  hvpocrisy  and  admire  an  open 
countenance.  The  longer  it  is  open  Ihe  better 
Ilie>'  like  it, 

A  dentist  always  likes  to  look  yon  in  tlu- 
face   and   then   charge   yon    for   it. 

To  put  gold  caps  on  teeth  is  his  crowninu 
glory  and  it  angers  him  a  bit  when  he  knows 
that  no  charge  can  be  made  for  capping  the 
climax. 

It  is  a  well-known  fact  that  dentistry  has 
lieen  practiced   for  many  decayeds, 

,\  dentist  can  stop  the  ache  in  your  tooth 
even  tho  it  takes  nerve  to  do  it.  But  it  is 
.\nur  nerve  generall)-. 

They  make  good  farmers,  for  they  like  to  be 
surrounded  by   achers. 

He  is  obser\iiig  and  detects  the  false  of 
others  immediateh' 

Dentists,  as  a  rule,  do  not  like  college  boys 
who  are  good  at  giving  their  respccti\e  cob 
lege  \clls — they  prefer  poor  rooters, 

Tlic\-  are  generally  of  good  extraction, 

.■\  dentist's  parlor  can  prTiperly  be  referred 
to  as  a  drawing-room. 

While  most  professions  help  the  world  gen- 
erally, a  dentist  is  always  a  drawback, 

.Most  men  in  order  to  become  successful 
need   "push."     A   dentist   needs  "pull."

MOTION  PICTURE  1 

Katherine  MacDonald,  A.B.  ] 

{Continued  from  page  23) 
In  the  one  she  is  now  making,  "The 
Guests  of  Hercules,"  she  depicts  a  con- 
vent-bred girl  of  France,  -whose  fortunes 
lead  her  to  the  hectic  halls  of  Monte  Carlo, 
where  adventure,  sorrow  and  guile  way- 
lay her,  with  lo-i-e  triumphant  in  tlie  end. 
"And  what  do  you  think!"  she  de- 
manded, enthusiastically.  "The  Prince 
of  Monaco  sent  me  a  special  invitation  to 
bring  my  company  over  there  and  film 
the  story  in  the  halls  of  Motite  Carlo 
itself,  which,  they  tell  me,  have  never 
been  photographetii" 

"And  you   are   going-,   of   course?      1 
urged,  catching  her  enthusiasm  and  al- 
most falling  out  of  my  chair  in  my  eager- 
I  ness. 

I      "Oh,  no;  I  cant.    It  would  be  too  hor- 
ribly   expensive.       Mother    was     crazy 
about  the  trip,  and  I  think  she  got  her 
things  all  packed  in  the  expectation  that 
I'd  decide  to  go  at  the  last  minute.     Id 
have  to  take  her  along,  you  know— I'd 
spend  every  cent  I  have  over  the  gam- 
bling tables  if  I  didn't  have  her  to  hold 
me    down— but    then,    I'ln    not    going," 
i  she  finished  with  a  sigh.     "We  took  the 
1  Monte    Carlo    scenes    at    the    Fairmont 
Hotel  in  .San  Francisco,  and  w^e  inveigled 
all  the  guests  into  working  in  the  picture. 
And    they    were    wonderful!"    she    said, 
with  conviction.    "Many  of  them  worked 
all  night  long,  for  several  nights  in  suc- 
cession—and  they  made  it  so  inuch  more 
realistic   than   it  would  have  been   with 
five-dollar-a-day  extras." 

A  studio  iiiitentate  of  some  sort  paused 
beside  us  and  asked  Miss  MacDonald 
what  she  desired  for  luncheon. 

"Tea  and  a  tooth-brush,"  she  replied 
])romptly.  "I  lost  mine  this  morping," 
she  added,  to  me,  in  explanation  of  her 
remarkable  order. 

Luncheon  time  reminded  me  that  food 
as  well  as  art  had  a  place  in  Natures 
jilan.  „         .  , 

"Would  you  mind  telling  me,  1  said, 
hesitatinglv,  as  I  rose  to  leave,  "what 
kind  of  cold  cream  you  use?" 

She  laughed  again,  unfeignedly,  but  1 
paused,  breathlt^ss,  ready  to  jealously 
treasure  forever  the  recipe  of  Kather- 
ine's  beauty.  , 

•'I  know  I  ouqht  to  say  some  kind  ot 
imiiortetl  cold  cream,"  she  answered,  a 
trille  rcgvotfully,  "hut   if  you   want  the 

tl'Utll " 

In  mv  I'Ncilenient.  1  could  feel  my 
heart  throbbing  loudly— so  loudly,  m 
fact,  that  T  was  afraid  I  wouldii  t  be  able 
tn  hear  the  glorious  secret. 

I  ,Hd!  Indeed,  yes!  1  leaned  close. 
.She  leaned  clo.se.  .    ,    .,t  u 

"Well,  then,"  she  confided,  I  scrub 
mv  face  and  shamjioo  my  hair  with  Life 
lliioy  tar  soap— it  costs  five  cents  a  cake 
—and  it  was  first  recommended  to  me 
as  fine  for  bathing  dogs!" 

So  gentle  reader,  1  went  out  and 
bought  a  case  of  Life  lUioy  at  five  cents 
per' tin-  cake.  Of  course,  I  haven  t  the 
Iiatunil  scenery  to  work  on  that  Kather- 
ine MacDonald,  A.R.,  has,  but  still-you 
never  can  tell  I'm  hoping  for  the  best.

CLASSIC 

Mildred,  Descendant  of  William 

(Coiilinucd  from  paijc  <>2) 
To  he  perfectly  frank,  it  was  l)ecau.-e  I 
was  offered  tliiity-five  dollars  a  week  to 
do  child  parts.  At  first  my  family  was 
shocked,  being  (Quakers,  you  know,  but 
they  finally  let  me  do  a  picture  for  Mu- 
tual, called  'Little  Miss  Innocence.  I 
was  SI)  disappointed  when  I  went  to  see 
it.  because  I  was  so  ut/ly!  I  give  you  my 
word,  1  almost  cried  ! 

"All  the  actors  treated  me  just  like  a 
child  .  .  .  and,  of  course,  1  was,"  she 
smiled,  (it  seemed  to  me  she  should  have 
said  "am"  instead  of  "was"),  "and  I  had 
a  wonderful  time.  I  played  with  Wil- 
liam ."^towell,  Bryant  \Vashburn.  kobert 
(iordon  and  Antrim  Short.  Mother  al- 
ways went  with  me  to  the  studio  and 
curled  my  hair,  and  every  one  teased  me 
hy  saying  'thee'  and  'thou'  to  me. 

'"I'he  other  girls  at  the  studio  laugh  at 
ine    because    I    take    such    care    of    my  | 
health,"    she    went    on,    with    youthful  ■ 
seriousness.     "I  always  go  to  bed  early,  1 
because  I  know  that  nothing  in  the  world 
spoils  your  looks  quicker  than  late  hours. 
When  1  have  a  caller  I  'shoo'  him  out  by 
eleven  o'clock,   (imagine,   if  you  can,  a 
six-fool  Konieo  being  forcibly  ejected  by 
a  diminutive   luliet  of  l)arely  five  feetl, 
because    1     value    my    complexion    more 
than  1  do  .mything  else." 

"What  do  you  do  when  you're  not 
vv  (irking  ,it  the  studio?"  I  intpiired. 

"Why.  I  sew." 

".\ot  really!"  we  interrupted,  incredu- 
lously. 

"^'es,  I  dressed  dozens  of  dolls  for  the 
orphans'  Christmas  tree  this  year.  You 
know  Harold  Lloyd  was  injured  aboui 
two  month.s  ago  by  a  hand-grenade 
which  he  thought  was  harmless,  so  wc 
haven't  been  able  to  do  a  thing  until  he  is 
belter.  It's  given  me  a  nice  long  vaca- 
tion, tho,  and  that's  how  I  liappened  to 
have  time  to  dress  the  dolls.  Harold  will 
lie  able  to  go  to  work  in  about  two 
weeks,  tho,  so  then  it  will  be  all  work. 

"I  ride  horseback,  too,"  she  continued, 
with  naive  pride,  "so  I'm  just  tickled  to 
death  that  our  next  picture  is  going  to  be 
a  Western.  .\nd  1  play  golf  and  study 
[•"rench,"  she  added,  as  we  complimented 
her  versatility. 

"I  certainly  dont  believe  in  giving  up 
your  education  just  because  you  dont 
have  time  to  go  to  school,  do  you  ?" 

We  agreed  with  her,  but  it  would  be 
hard  to  disagree  with  this  magnetic 
young  person  on  any  point. 

"But  when  do  you  find  time  to  study  ?" 
we  "entured. 

"f)h,  I  take  my  books  to  the  studio 
and  study  between  scenes."  (Think  of 
trying  to  conjugate  French  verbs  in  the 
midst  of  the  noise  and  bustle  of  a  film 
studio!)  "But  that's  not  any  worse." 
she  added,  "than  trying  to  study  with 
jack  in  the  room  hurdling  chairs  a  la 
Doug  I'airbanks." 

Jack,  her  small  brother,  was  at  that 
moment  leading  a  parade  across  the 
lawn,  composed  of  himself  as  Harold 
Lloyd  and  two  |)laymates  made  up  as 
Charlie  Chaplin  and'  "Fatty"  .\rbuckle.

The  last 
com 

When  you  end  your  corn  with 
Blue-jay,  it  will  be  the  last  corn 
you  let  grow. 

You  will  know  how  to  stop  the 
pain.  And  how  to  quickly  and 
completely  end  all  corns. 

There  are  millions  who  use 
Blue-jay  now,  and  they  never  let 
a  corn  remain. 

The  new-day  way 

Blue-jay  is  the  new-day  way, 
the  scientific  method. 

It  was  p)erfected  in  a  labora- 
tory world-famed  for  its  surgi- 
cal dressings. 

It  is  supplanting  the  many 
:  reatments  which  are  harsh  and 
inefficient. 

It  has  made  paring  as  ridic- 
ulous as  it  is  unsafe,  for  jiaring 
doesn't  end  corns. 

Do  this  tonight: 

Apply  to  a  corn  a  Blue-jay 


plaster  or  the  liquid  Blue-jay — 
whichever  you  prefer. 

N4ark  how  the  pain  stops. 
Then  wait  a  little  and  the  corn 
will  loosen  and  come  out. 

What  that  corn  does  all  cornn 
will  do.  Some  20  million  corns  a 
year  are  ended  in  this  way. 

Don't  suffer  corns.  Don't  have 
your  feet  disfigured.  They  can 
be  ended  almost  as  easily  as  a 
dirt-spot  on  your  face.  They  are 
just  as  inexcusable. 

Don't  forget  this.  It  means 
too  much  to  you.

MO'IIO.N  PICTURE 

"Jackie  nearly  emhana.'^sc.^  tne  to 
cleatl;  vvlieii  we  go  to  see  one  of  my  pic- 
tures," she  continued.  "He  gets  so 
worked  up  over  seeing  nie  on  the  screen 
that  he  shouts  so  everybody  can  hear, 
'Motlier,  what's  sister  goin'  to  do  lie.Nt  ?'  " 

"How  do  you  make  yourself  cry  be- 
fore the  camera?"  we  a.sked,  hoping  to 
learn  some  of  the  little  secrets  of  the 
screen. 

"Oh,  that's  the  best  thing  1  do,"  she 
laughed.  "Just  let  them  play  some  soft 
music  on  a  violin,  and  they  have  to  get 
a  bucket  to  catch  my  tears,  (^ne  day  I 
sobbed  so  long  and  so  hard  that  the 
camera-man  got  worried.  I  guess  he 
thought  there'd  been  a  death  in  my  family, 
or  at  least  that  I'd  lost  my  job,  because 
he  patted  me  on  the  back  and  said,  'Little 
girl,  what  are  you  crying  for?'  I  said, 
'Xotliing.'  and  kept  right  on  crying.  He 
looked  at  me  with  his  face  a  blank,  as  if 
to  say,  'Well,  women  are  certainly  Chi- 
nese puzzles.' 

"Of  course,  it's  not  always  easy  to  do 
what  thev  tell  you,"  Mildred  continued. 
"(  )nc  time  1  was  made  to  walk  on  the 
edge  of  a  roof  after  the  director  had 
threatened  and  coaxed  me  for  about  an 
hour.  1  screamed,  i  wont,  I  wont!'  all 
the  time   I   was  domg  it." 

"Do  you  ever  want  to  go  on  the  legiti- 
mate stage?"  we  asked. 

"No,"  she  answered,  emphatically, 
"unless  I  get  too  old  and  wrinkled  to 
play  in  pictures.  Then."  she  said,  "I'll 
make  my  li\  ing  dancing  on  the  'legit.'  " 

"Hut  dont  you  think  if  you  were  too 
old  for  pictures,  you'd  also  be  too  old  to 
dance?"  we  remonstrated. 

"N'o.  indeed;  I'm  keeping  up  my 
dancing  now  for  that  \ery  reason,"  she 
assured  me.  Imagine  a  nineteen-year- 
old  sli|)  of  a  girl  keeping  "limbered  up" 
araiiist  approaching  old  age! 

When  we  left,  she  walked  to  the  front 
gate  with  us,  with  her  arm  linked  in 
ours.  .Standing  on  the  front  walk  was 
little  brother's  brand  new  one-man- 
power automobile  in  bright  blue  splen- 
dor, where  it  had  been  abandoned  for  the 
more  interesting  diversion  of  a  Chaplin- 
l.loyd-.Vrbuckle  parade.  Mildred  pijinted 
to  it  laughingly.  "Our  new  Stutz,"  she 
said.     "Uant  to  go  for  a  ride?" 

"(lit  ;ivvay  from  our  machine  !"  shouted 
young  Jack,  iieremiHorily  calling  the  pa- 
rade to  a  nudden  halt  in  order  to  look 
after  his  property  interests,  and  mis- 
taking our  mild  interest  for  covetousness. 
"Xobody  can  ride  in  it  but  me  and 
Charlie  and  'Fatty' !" 

You  see.  a  film  star's  little  brother  is 
no  different  from  yours  and  mine.  .And 
far  be  it  from  us  to  try  to  crowd  "Fatty" 
out  of  any  seat,  so  we  declined  with 
thanks  and  left  Mildred  scolding  Jackie 
for  his  rudeness,  just  like  any  big  sister, 
and  nut  a  bit  like  a  film  star--or  a  de- 
scendant of  William  Penn.

Gossip  of  the  Pacific  Coast 

(Continued  from  page  50) 

matinee  idol  with  the  old  Broncho 
company  ?  He's  back  again  in  pictures, 
supporting  Enid  Bennett  in  "The  In- 
cubus." Tom  happened  to  be  the  first 
actor  who  ever  donned  evening  attire  for 
Thomas  H.  Ince.  He  hesitates  in  de- 
scribing the  detail  of  that  eventful  day, 
but  he.  docs  say  that  his  appearance  in 
the  spick-and-span  regalia  caused  no  little 
consternation  among  the  free-and-easy 
Western  "types"  which  infested  Inceville 
when  cowboy  and  Indian  thrillers  were 
the  big  gag  of  the  day  and  when  soup- 
and-fish  was  looked  upon  as  too  elite  and 
exclusive  to  ever  make  a  hit  on  the 
screen ! 

And,  speaking  of  Ince,  one  recalls  that 
a  coterie  of  New  York  chorus  girls  in 
William  Rock's  vaudeville  revue  which 
played  at  the  Orpheum  quite  took  the 
Ince  studio  by  storm.  Rock,  Frances 
White's  late  partner,  is  an  Angeleno, 
quite  a  friend  of  Thomas  H.'s.  The  girls 
were  stunning,  and  even  the  feminine 
stars  paid  considerable  attention  to  their 
clothes.  After  wandering  about  the  stu- 
dio for  some  time,  two  of  the  girls  be- 
came confused  and  could  not  find  their 
party.  Seeing  them  standing  helplessly 
near  a  "set,"  a  stage-hand  volunteered 
the  information  that  Rock  and  the  rest 
of  his  entourage  were  just  over  there 
behind  a  bank  of  Cooper  Hewitts. 

Both  choristers  stood  unimpressed,  and 
at  length,  one,  turning  to  the  stage-hand, 
remarked,  haughtily: 

"Speak  plainer,  please.  We're  stage 
ladies  and  cawnt  understawnd  yer  furrin' 
lingo." 

That  good-looking  younger  brother  of 
Anita  Stewart,  George,  is  making  rapid 
strides  to  stardom,  having  been  cast  to 
play  opposite  Mildred  Harris  Chaplin  in 
"Old  Dad."  George  has  only  been  out 
here  a  few  months,  but  already  has 
played  important  parts  with  both  William 
Russell  and  Mary  Miles  Minter.  His 
"pal"  at  this  writing  is  "Buster"  Collier, 
son  of  the  famed  Willie,  who  has  come 
to  Los  Angeles  on  a  vacation.  George  is 
working  on  a  "set"  adjoining  his  sister's 
at  the  studio.  Anita  is  filming  Kathleen 
Norris'  magazine  story,  "Harriet  and  the 
Piper,"  which  includes  one  of  the  most 
famous  casts  ever  assembled  in  a  picture. 
Ward  Crane,  remembered  as  the  vile  vil- 
lain of  "The  Luck  of  the  Irish,"  is  the 
professional  devastator  of  virtue  again, 
while  Charles  Richman  is  the  leading 
man  and  Irving  Cummings  figures  promi- 
nently. And  Myrtle  Steadman  plays  a 
vampire. 

And,  at  the  same  studio,  House  Peters 
and  Jane  Novak  are  co-stars  in  an  Alas- 
kan tale  by  Curwood  which  Edwin  Ca- 
rewe  is  producing.  Really,  these  Alaskan 
dramas  made  in  sunny  California  are  ex- 
traordinary. They  get  the  snow  effect 
by  sprinkling  the  stage  with  a  concoction 
which  smells  like  mothballs  and  nearly 
depopulates  the  studio,  while  the  sledge- 
dogs,    which    actually   hailed    from    the

Fit  YOURSELF  For 
Life's  Fi^ht 


THERE'S  no  pl.ice  in  our  live-wire  business  and 
social  life  for  the  weak,  sickly  man  who  is  of  no 
use  to  himself  or  anybody  else.  Health.  Strength, 
EnerRv.  and  the  Abihty  they  give  a  man,  to  win 
SUCCESS,  are  the  only  quahties  that  count.  No- 
body will  care  anything  about  you,  or  even  give  you 
a  second  thought,  if  you  go  staggering  through  life 
witli  some  miserable  chronic  ailment,  weakness  or 
bad  habit  making  you  a  misfit  in  the  busy,  wideawake 
world;  holding  you  back,  keeping  you  from  doing 
anything  worth  w!iile  and  slating  you  for  the  shelf 
or  junk  heap  before  your  time. 

Get  Out  of  the  Rut 

Don't  be  content  to  end  your 
life  a  miserable  failure.  Don't  let 
.1  sickly  ailment  ruin  all  your 
chances  of  success.  It  won't  cure 
itself.  You  will  never  be  any 
better  until  you  exert  your  will, 
get  hold  of  yourself,  lift  yourself 
out  of  the  rut  that  is  growing 
deeper  every  day  you  travel  in  it. 
YOU  CAN  DO  IT.  You  can  free 
yourself  from  the  Constipation  that 
is  destroying  the  tissues  of  your 
body  and  brain;  you  can  get  rid 
of  the  Dyspepsia  and  Indigestion 
that  make  you  feel  as  though  you 
carried  a  millstone  in  your  chest ; 
you  can  cast  off  the  shackles  of 
aniy  bad  habit  that  is  sapping  your 
vitality  and  making  you  asnamed 
to  face  your  fellow  men.  YOU 
CAN  BE  FREE  FROM  YOUR 
TROUBLES — strong,  well,  with 
every  chance  of  making  a  success 
in  the  world,  if  you  will  only 
WAKE  UP ! — Look  the  Facts 
<;qu.-irely  in  the  Face  and  ACT 
AT    ONCE. 

Win  Back  Your  Health 
and  Strength 

I'll  show  you  how  to  do  It.  In  a  way 
that  has  never  failed.  I  have  made  a 
lifetime  Gtudy  of  the  metlioda  whereby 
rtne^ved  V IT ALITT— bringing  With  U 
Health.  Strength  and  Energy — is  re- 
Blored  by  Nature's  own  methods  to  Uie 
liuman  orcanlsm.  By  thoae  methods  I 
built  myself  up.  until  today  1  am  ca.lled 
the  strongest  man  In  the  world.  By  them  I  have  buUt  up 
thousands  of  weak,  ailing,  despondent  men  and  women:  turned 
the  watery  fluid  In  their  leios  to  rich,  t Issue- huU ding  blood, 
streiicthened  their  vllal  orcans.  developed  their  muscles,  ex- 
terna! and  inlernal:  given  them  back  health,  happiness,  hope. 
ambition  and  the  Joy  to  the  full  of  LlvinK  Life.  ,  "Vlvlmus

wouldn't  take  a  chance  of  their  being 
laid  up,  even  if  they  wanted  to  take  the 
chance  themselves,  which  very  fre- 
quently they  did  not.  He  quit  doubhng 
when  he  was  given  his  first  part  in  sup- 
port of  Jackie  Saunders.  He  went  from 
Balboa  to  Al  Christie  and  then  became  a 
"free-lance."  He  has  been  married  for 
three  years  and  has  an  eighteen-months- 
old  baby  girl. 

"Is  her  hair  curly?"  I  asked. 

"Not  as  much  so  as  we  could  wish. 
Her  mother  has  beautiful  hair— auburn 
— the  baby  is  blonde. 

"One  thing  I  am  thankful  for,"  he 
said,  "is  that  I  cant  imagine  myself  being 
handed  a  part  which  would  be  entirely 
outside  my  experience  in  life.  I've  done 
a  little  bit  of  every  kind  of  work.  I've 
been  in  fairly  comfortable  circumstances 
and  I've  been  very  badly  up  against  it." 
His  worst  experience  of  this  kind  was 
during  the  influenza  epidemic  only  a  year 
ago. 

"I  was  free-lancing  then,"  he  said, 
"and,  like  most  actors,  I  used  to  spend 
everything  I  made  as  fast  as  I  could 
make  it.  Then  along  came  the  influenza 
and  closed  all  the  studios.  I  didn't  let 
m)'  wife  know  how  badly  off  we  were. 
I  simply  suggested  that  she  visit  her 
mother  while  I  spend  several  weeks  in 
Los  Angeles  looking  for  some  sort  of 
engagement.  Of  course,  there  were  no 
engagements  to  be  had  anywhere.  I 
began  to  pawn  things.  The  last  to  go 
was  my  dress-suit.  I  remember  think- 
ing, as  I  came  out  of  that  pawnshop,  that 
if  I  did  get  an  engagement  I  wouldn't 
have  anything  to  wear.  But  the  studios 
remained  closed  and  I  lived  for  three 
weeks  on  oatmeal  mush  without  any 
sugar  or  milk  to  make  it  more  palatable." 

But  there's  no  more  oatmeal  mush 
ahead  of  Landis. 


BALLADE  OF  INDIFFERENCE 
By  Charlotte  Becker 

Tho  Phyllis  changed  grave  moods  to  gay. 

And  Phoebe's  smile  made  sorrow  flee, 
Tho  Amaryllis'  eyes  of  grey 

And  laughing  mouth  were  good  to  see; 

Tho  Chloe  dimpled  merrily. 
And  Dolly's  glances  once  were  dear, 

They  left  my  fickle  heart-strings  free — 
W'hat   matter   smiles   of  yesteryear? 

Tho  once  when  Gladys  said  me  nay, 

I   sighed  an  hour  at  her  decree ; 
Tho  Sybil  scorned  my  wish  to  stay 

And  gave  no  heed  unto  my  plea; 

Tho  sometimes  Julia  held  the  key 
That  bared  my  heart  to  hope  and  fear. 

For  these  I  write  no  elegy — 
What  matter  woes  of  yesteryear? 

Tho  Audrey  in  her  blithesome  way 

Would  quip  and  jest  with  roguish  glee. 
And  Alice  made  the  dullest  day 

Glow  bright  with   wit  and  jollity, 

Tho  Jocelyn  paid  hourly  fee 
In   cleverness   that   I    might   hear, 

Tho  all  were  charming,  I  agree — 
What  matter  words   of  yesteryear? 

Dearest,  you  know  I'd  rather  be 
Discussing  bread   and  kisses  here — 

Where  other  maids  mean  naught  to  me — 
What  matter  loves  of  yesteryear?

Just  Agnes. — Why  dont  you  have  some  good 
pictures  taken  and  send  them  in  to  the  Fame 
and  Fortune  Contest?  There's  no  use  talking 
to  you.  because  persons  in  love  generally  re- 
solve first  and  reason  afterwards.  Margaret 
Shelby  is  playing  opposite  her  sister  in  "Jenny 
Be  Good." 

Mavove  S. — Why  speak  of  the  North  Pole 
this  nice  weather?  Robert  E.  Peary,  then  a 
commander  in  the  U.  S.  Navy,  reached  the 
North  Pole  on  April  6,  1909.  He  survived 
the  Arctic  winters,  but  he  could  not  survive 
ours.  The  U.  S.  Government  raised  him  to 
Rear-Admiral.  Is  Conway  Tearle  married? 
Ha.  ha.  he,  he,  and  likewise  ho,  ho !  Yes,  to 
Adele  Rowland. 

Pearl  White's  Double. — Yes,  sure,  come  in 
any  time.  You  say  you  would  be  willing  to 
hide  in  an  ashcau  just  to  get  a  peep  at  Robert 
Leonard.  Very  well,  you  have  my  permission, 
but  vou'll  have  to  ask  Mae  Murray.  Yes,  May 
Allison  in  "The  Walk-Offs." 

B.  E.  H. — No.  Lewis  J.  Cody's  name  is  not 
pronounced  like  a  fish.  Both  at  Los  Angeles, 
Cal.  I  think  they  would.  By  all  means  en- 
close the  quarter.  You  say  you  have  named 
your  pet  kitten  "Tony  Lew."  after  Tony 
Moreno  and  Lew  Cody.  I'm  sure  the  two 
p-entlemen  will  feel  higlily  honored.  You  dont 
like  Tony  in  serials.  Neither  do  I.  He  should 
be  vamping  in  star  dramas. 

J.  T.  B. — Figure  it  out  for  yourself.  Ac- 
cording to  "Elliott  on  Usury,"  one  cent, 
loaned  Jan.  1,  A.D.  1,  drawing  interest  at  six 
per  cent.,  compounded  annuallv,  on  Jan.  1,  1895, 
would  amount  to  $8,407,840,000,000,000,000,000,- 
000,000,a«  I.I  II II  I.I  KK  1,1  KK  1.(1(10.000.  it  would  take 
610.070,OOU,000,UOU,000  spheres  of  gold  the  size 
of  our  earth  to  pay  the  debt. 

Red  Rose. — Good  morning!  Leave  all  cares 
behind,  ye  who  enter  here.  Monte  Blue  is  in 
Los  Angeles  now. 

TooDLES.— I'm  listening!  Yes,  and  one  half 
of  the  world  doesn't  know  how  the  other  half 
lives — until  it  comes  out  in  the  divorce  courts. 
Dot  Gish  is  up  at  Mamaroneck,  N.  Y.  It 
would  take  up  too  much  room  to  print  the 
cast  of  "Hearts  of  the  World."  Send  a 
stamped,  addressed  envelope  and  I  will  send 
it  to  you.  Mary  Pickford's  hair  is  real,  and  I 
might  add.  her   own. 

Fagcaty  Ann. — So  you  think  I  am  a  pretty 
good  old  scout.  No.  not  old  scout,  for  in  spite 
of  my  79  winters.  I  am  still  a  Boy  Scout.  Oh, 
I  still  have  my  eye  teeth  and  my  wisdom  teeth, 
and  several  others.  King  Vidor  played  in 
"The  Turn  in  the  Road"  and  "The  Family 
Honor."  He  also  produced  "The  Other  Half" 
and  he  is  now  producing  "The  Jack  Knife 
Man." 

Little  Brown-Eyed  Vamp. — Once  and  for 
all,  everybody  join  in  the  chorus.  Richard 
Barthelmess  is  not  married.  You  say  you 
have  "wonderful  limbs  and  a  beautiful  form" 
in  a  bathing  suit.  Page  Mack  Sennett.  J. 
Stuart  Blackton  produced  "The  House  of  the 
Tolling  Bell." 

F.  F.,  Milwaukee. — A  once  famous  city. 
From  two  to  five  years.  Al  St.  John  in 
"Trouble."     He's    always   in    trouble.     Mary

Miles  Minter  in  "Jenny  Be  Good."  "The  More 
Excellent  Way"  is  an  old  Vitagraph.  but  just 
being  released  with  Anita  Stewart. 

Helen  A. — Yes,  so  long  as  our  hearts  pos- 
sess desires,  our  minds  will  foster  delusions. 
Harry  Morey  was  in  North  Carolina.  Blanche 
Sweet  in  "Leona  Goes  a-Hunting."  Robert 
Ellis  is  directing.  Couldn't  give  you  that  cast 
here.     Takes  up  too  much  room. 

Alcide,  Vancouver. — Yes.  send  it  in.  Mary 
Pickford  and  Harold  Goodwin  played  in 
"Heart  of  the  Hills."  Universal  produced 
"The  Devil's  Passkey."  Please,  please,  do  not 
compare  my  energy  with  that  of  Niagara 
Falls,  nor  with  perpetual  motion.  They  both 
started  before  I  did  and  will  not  finish  till  cen- 
turies after  I  am  done. 

LcoNEY. — Write  it  in  English.  Reminds  me 
of  Garibaldi,  Italy's  famous  patriot,  who  once 
wrote  a  novel  which  was  published  in  six 
languages,  but  never  paid  in  any.  Yes,  Mary 
Miles  Minter  in  "Nurse  Marjorie."  The  ex- 
pression "A  bird  in  the  hand  is  worth  two 
in  the  bush"  is  from  Don  Quixote.  I'm  sure 
she  will  write  you. 

Movie  Fan. — Y'ou  have  Norma  Talmadge's 
correct  address.  Be  patient.  She  is  a  very 
busy  little  lady.  Constance  Binney,  Realart 
Pictures,  469  Fifth  Avenue,  N.  Y.  C.  Bessie 
Love  played  in  "The  Midlanders." 

Large. — Thanks  for  the  fee,  old  chappie ! 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Charlie  Chaplin  are  not  Jewish. 
Neither  is  Martha  Mansfield,  but  Mr.  Florenz 
Ziegfeld  and  Mr.  Joseph  .Schenck  are.  But 
what  difference  does  it  make?  Sure  write 
again.     Pleasant  company  is  always  accepted. 

Hugh  M.  B.,  Wildsville.— Little  late,  but 
the  best  I  could  do.  You  can  reach  Irene 
Castle,  Fort  Lee,  N.  J.  A  little  advice  I  had 
given  to  me  some  70  years  ago :  Whenever 
you  make  an  "improvement"  in  any  direction, 
look  out  that  you  do  not  sacrifice  more  than 
it  is  worth,  in  some  other  matter. 

Jack  Holt's  Fan. — Yes.  it  is  true  that 
Clarine  Seymour  died  on  April  25th  at  the 
Misericordia  Hospital,  New  York  City,  fol- 
lowing an  operation  for  intestinal  trouble. 
You  will  remember  her  in  "The  Idol  Dancer" 
and  on  the  cover  of  March  Classic.  You 
want  to  see  more  of  Jack  Holt.  Ruth  Roland 
is  still  on  the  coast,  but  is  expected  East  this 
summer. 

Kaki. — Do  you  know,  Kaki,  you  are  a  wise 
little  guy?  He  who  learns  what  is  good  and 
embraces  it,  and  what  is  bad  and  avoids  it,  is 
as  wise  as  Socrates  who  said  it,  and  that's 
you,  my  lad.  Yes,  Adele  Rowland,  now  play- 
ing in  "Irene"  on  Broadway,  is  Conway 
Tearle's  last  wife.  Walter  ilcGrail  is  not 
married.  Dont  believe  all  you  hear.  Con- 
stance Talmadge  isn't  married  at  this  writing, 
and  is  not  likely  to  be  at  the  next. 

Miss  Curiosity. — You  see  our  story  is  writ- 
ten from  the  scenario,  and  very  often  the 
director  changes  the  scenes  and  the  scenario 
is  never  corrected  to  conform  to  the  scenes. 
William  Faversham  is  playing  in  "The  Man 
Who  Lost  Himself."  Alice  Lake  is  with

The 

Shamrock  Girl 

By   FRITZI    REMONT 


LIKE  a  shuttle,  weaving  in  and  out  the 
fate  hne  of  Thelma  Percy  caused  her 
earher  years  to  be  spent  in  Ireland 
and  America.  Ireland,  the  birthplace  of 
their  mother,  was  the  strongest  attrac- 
tion Eileen  and  Thelma  knew.  Mrs. 
Percy  and  the  children  were  quite  as 
well  known  in  Dublin  as  New  York,  for 
the  winters  spent  in  the  latter,  hard  at 
work  and  the  summers  given  over  to 
flying  trips  to  Erin's  Isle,  won  them 
many  friends  in  both  cities. 

The  Percy  children  really  never  had 
a  childhood  like  other  kiddies,  at  least  so 
Thelma  relates. 

"One  dav,  mother  was  ridmg  in  a 
street-car  in  New  York,  with  Eileen  sit- 
ting beside  her  and  holding  me  on  her 
lap,  when  a  gentleman  moved  across  and 
begged    mother 


to  let  Eileen 
pose  for  him,  as 
he  was  a  great 
artist.  The  next 
day  found  my 
sister  at  the  stu- 
dio, with  mother 
and  me  looking 
on.  And  so  it 
went   on  for 


Thelma  Percy,  just 
turned  sixteen,  has 
been  on  the  stage 
ever  since  she  could 
barely  walk.  She  is 
a  Universal  favor- 
ite, and  is  bending 
all  her  energy 
toward  successful 
screen  portrayals 


weeks  and 
weeks,  until 
the     time 
when  I  was 
barely  able 
to   lisp    and 
trot   about,   when 
a  New  York  the- 
atrical   manager 
called  at  the  ate- 
lier  and   saw   us. 
He  told  mother 
we    should    be 
stage   children — 
and  the  outcome 
of  that  interview 
was  that  we  both 
went  on  the  stage. 
We    really    never 
had  time  for  play 
like    other    chil- 
dren,  for  I   soon 
began   to   pose 
also,  and  at  night 
we  were  back  of 
the  footlights. 

"Our  lives 
weren't  eventful; 
our  schooling  was 
greatly    inter- 

(  Seventy-eight) 


MOTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC 

rupted ;  we  learnt  as  we  could,  with 
mother  to  teach  and  hear  our  lessons. 
I'm  sorry  we  missed  school — I  often  look 
regretfully  at  the  girls  in  Hollywood,  so 
carefree,  going  to  Iiigh  school  or  some 
finishing  academy!" 

Little  Thelma  Percy,  just  turned  six- 
teen, sweet- faced,  wistful  —  with  her 
strong  personality,  the  independence  of 
her  Irish  forebears  and  the  courage  which 
one  always  associates  with  her  race, 
looked  at  nie  very  soberly.  We  were 
chatting  in  a  quiet  little  office  at  the  Uni- 
versal, while  from  without  came  the 
sounds  of  neighing  nags,  cussing  cow- 
boys and  dozens  of  laughing  extras. 

"I  wouldn't  regret  that — you  have  trav- 
eled so  much  that  you  have  learnt  much 
more  than  most  girls  of  your  age.  Read- 
ing will  do  the  rest,  dont  you  think  so?" 
I  comforted  the  ambitious  little  soul. 

"That  is  what  mother  always  said. 
She  told  us  to  keep  our  eyes  open,  to 
study  people,  to  remember  what  we  saw 
at  the  art  galleries  and  museums,  and  to 
make  good  use  of  every  moment  spent  on 
trains  or  steamers.  I  really  am  in  mo- 
tion pictures  just  to  please  mother,  for 
I  love  the  stage  life  best  of  all. 

"Mother  passed  away  four  years  ago. 
i'She  used  to  pray  always  that  I  could  get 
into  pictures  so  that  I  might  not  have  to 
travel  about  alone  after  she  was  gone. 
Eileen  had  no  difficulty  in  getting  in,  but 
you  see,  I  was  at  the  age  when  I  had 
outgrown  childhood  and  was  unable  to 
take  little  girl  parts  longer,  for  I  had 
grown  terribly  fat!  Could  anything  be 
worse  than  a  fat  little  girl  of  twelve? 

"So  after  mother  left  us,  and  I  was 
thirteen,  my  guardian  put  me  into  a  pri- 
vate school  back  East,  and  I  studied  hard 
to  catch  up  with  other  girls.  Then,  a 
year  ago,  I  came  here  to  live  with  Eileen, 
and  I  just  simply  zvalkcd  into  pictures. 
Mother's  prayers  must  have  made  the 
way  easy  for  me — I  dont  think  mothers 
forget  their  children  no  matter  where 
they  are,  do  you  ?" 

"And  you  played  leads  from  the  start, 
didn't  you?" 

"Yes,  I  guess  it  was  the  lucky  sham- 
rock that  I  always  carry  in  my  little 
locket  which  must  have  brought  me 
so  much  good  fortune — a  lovely  home 
with  Eileen,  new  parents,  the  dearest 
little  French  bulldog,  and  all  the  new 
friends  in  California.  Eileen's  mother- 
and  father-in-law  have  simply  adopted 
me — I'm  their  baby,  they  say.  We  didn't 
have  time  for  play  when  we  were  young, 
but  we  are  all  making  up  for  it  now. 
Eileen's  home  is  so  jolly  and  lively,"  she 
finished. 

"But  your  pictures  look  so  much  older 
than  you,  how  do  you  manage  that  ?" 

"Oh,  I've  tried  out  make-ups  over  and 
over  again.  The  directors  would  suggest 
something,  or  one  of  the  players  here, 
and  I've  changed  a  number  of  times.  I 
think  in  all  my  photographs  I  look  at 
least  twenty  now,  for  I  changed  my  hair- 
dressing  to  give  me  a  grown-up  air." 

We  had  been  talking  about  moods,  for 
sundry  girls  strolled  in  to  share  our  gos-

'Tonight  Fm  going  Decollete, 
thanks  to  Electric  Massage!" 


DOES  your  figure 
permit  you  to  wear 
the  prettiest  of 
evening  frocks?  Then 
resolve  that  this  embar- 
rassing condition  is  going 
to  be  changed!  In  the 
privacy  of  your  own 
boudoir  soothing  electric 
massage  brings  back  the 
roses  of  youth  into  your 
cheeks,  keeps  your  hair 
and  scalp  in  fine,  healthy 
condition  and  develops 
your  figure  into  one  of 
graceful  lines  and  girlish 
contour. 

The  woman  of  fas- 
tidious tastes,  young  or 
old,  realizes  that  beauty 
is  but  a  natural  reflection 
of  health.  Wrinkles, 
"crow's  feet,"  eyes  that 
have  lost  their  youthful 
sparkle,  obesity  and  other 
unwelcome  facial  blem- 
ishes are,  to  a  great  ex- 
tent at  least,  brought  on 
by   what   we   term   "the 


strenuous  life."  Muscles 
are  sure  to  become  weary 
and  congested  unless  they 
get  relaxation.  And  com- 
plexions are  certain  to 
suffer  unless  properly 
taken  care  of.  Home 
electric  massage  is  recog- 
nized as  the  building-up 
process  nearest  to  Na- 
ture's. 

The  Star  Vibrator 
should  be  your  "beauty 
parlor."  Used  and  en- 
dorsed by  stage  and 
screen  celebrities  for

siping  hour.  Several  of  them  confessed 
to  enjoying  deep-dyed  indigo  spells. 
There  were  some  who  loved  lo  irrigate 
tile  midnight  pillow,  others  who  thouglit 
it  silly  to  weep,  and  so  quite  a  discussion 
followed. 

Thelma  Percy  listened  interestedly. 
One  of  her  charms  is  the  sympathetic 
manner  in  which  she  shares  one's  confi- 
dences and  admissions.  When  every  one 
liad  added  a  personal  bit,  Miss  Percy 
said,  in  her  sweet  contralto  voice : 

"When  I  am  \-ery  happy,  I  am  very 
quiet.  When  I  am  happiest,  I  cry.  There 
is  something  very  solemn  about  true  hap- 
piness, I  think." 

We  all  stopped,  amazed.  I  dont  think 
any  one  had  ever  pigeonholed  bliss  in 
quite  so  original  a  fashion. 

"Then  W'hen  you  are  really  sad,  do  you 
laugh  ?"  It  was  a  chorus  of  minds  with 
but  a  single  thought  focused  on  what 
promised  to  be  a  contradictory  mood. 

"I  may  not  laugh,  but  I  smile.  I  dont 
like  them  to  know  when  I  am  hurt,"  con- 
fessed the  blonde  beauty  who  had  be- 
guiled Sessue  Hayakawa  in  the  very  first 
photodrama  she  attempted. 

And  the  queer  part  of  it  is,  that  her 
courage  doesn't  extend  to  stunt  acting. 
They  are  careful  of  the  Shamrock  Girl 
on  the  "U"  lot ;  no  daredevil  riding  feats 
or  hard  plunges  are  her  share  of  the 
work.  She  swims,  drives,  plays  tennis 
and  enjoys  long  walks  with  her  little  dog, 
but  she's  not  charmed  with  horsebacking. 

Thelma's  days  are  full  of  duties.  She 
is  not  the  sort  of  girl  who  would  shirk 
any  responsibility.  The  years  of  work, 
from  the  time  she  had  her  third  birthday 
cake,  have  given  her  a  serious  trend  of 
thought.  At  the  end  of  each  dav'  she 
waits  for  the  rushes  of  her  picture ;  at 
night  she  visits  motion  pictures  or  the 
theater.  She  is  studying  plot  construc- 
tion, make-up — and  most  of  all — Norma 
Tahnadgc.  She  even  goes  to  old  runs 
of  Norma's  plays,  and  has  enthroned  that 
popular  star  as  her  model  actress  and  the 
screen's  highest  art  exponent. 

"The  bystanders  on  the  'U'  lot  are  a 
great  help  to  me,"  broke  in  Thelma. 
"They  dont  bother  us — oh,  no.  But 
sometimes  they  say  things  so  wortli 
while.  The  other  day  an  older  woman 
.spoke  to  a  young  girl  with  her.  and  point- 
ing to  me,  probably  thinking  I  was  not 
within  earshot,  said,  'How  much  better 
that  little  girl  would  look  if  she  pushed 
her  hair  off  her  face.' 

"I  had  never  thought  of  that,  but  at 
the  end  of  the  day  I  tried  out  her  idea 
and  found  she  w'as  right.  In  following 
scenes  I  wore  my  hair  off  the  forehead, 
and  everybody  said  that  it  looked  so 
much  improved,  I  think  impartial  ob- 
servers are  very  helpful  to  the  photo- 
player,  I'm  often  in  receipt  of  very  val- 
uable advice  from  the  fans,  I  dont  like 
.serials  much,  but  they  say  that  one  be- 
comes well  known  by  ajipearing  weekly, 
and  I  do  know  my  fan  letters  are  coming 
in  stronger  daily.  I  would  like  to  do 
legitimate  comedy,"

The  World  in 
Your  Hands! 


"For  to  behold,  and  for  to  see, 
For    to    roam     this    world    so 
wide—" 

in  search  of  the  Great  Un- 
known; in  quest  of  life-around- 
the-corner;  seeking  the  hidden 
mystery  of  life,  and  the  beauty 
thereof  I 

Perhaps  you  hear  the  Call  in 
the  softness  of  a  summer  day. 
The  Spirit  of  Wanderlust  dances 
before  you.  You  feel  the  fra- 
grant mist  of  the  out-of-doors; 
you  peer  into  the  mystery  of  un- 
known places. 

Perhaps  you  are  so  situated  that 
you  are  unable  to  answer  the  Call 
— you  can  only  feel  it  tugging 
at  your  heart-strings.  To  you, 
Shadowland,  The  Magazine 
Beautiful,  comes  like  the  magic 
carpet  of  the  old  fairy-tale.  It 
transports  you  wheresoever  you 
wish  to  go.  You  float  on  the 
White  Sail  of  Imagery  into  un- 
known ports,,  haunting  in  their 
colorful  romance,  their  vivid- 
ness. It  places  the  world  in  your 
hands,  your  fingers  on  the  pulse 
of  the  world  of  Art,  of  Litera- 
ture, of  Drama,  of  Fashion. 

We  are  quite  proud  of  our  Au- 
gust number  of  Shadowland, 
The  Magazine  Beautiful,  for  it 
is  replete  with  our  best  literary 
and  artistic  efforts.  Among 
them  a  clever,  whimsical  review 
on  current  books  by  the  inimi-

I  had  been  listening  to  Miss  Percy's 
voice  with  pleasure.  It's  the  deep,  reso- 
nant contralto  which  one  often  hears  in 
older  women  of  the  stage. 

"Dent  you  sing,  Miss  Percy?" 

"I  sang  and  danced  for  years  on  the 
stage,  but  now  it's  just  a  case  of  singing 
when  I  have  time.  I  want  to  study  voice 
culture  in  a  few  years ;  as  long  as  I'm 
only  sixteen,  I  might  as  well  let  it  develop 
a  bit  more,  dent  you  think  so  ?" 

Well  ...  I  think  a  girl  who  has 
worked  hard  from  three  to  sixteen  ought 
to  be  free  to  enjoy  youth,  dancing,  frolics 
.  .  .  and  if  Thelma  Percy  is  bending  all 
her  energies  toward  successful  screen 
portrayals,  her  evenings  should  be  work- 
free. 

But  some  day,  I  hope  she'll  study  sing- 
ing, for  she  is  as  sure  to  return  to  the 
speaking  stage  or  light  opera  as  there  are 
stars  in  a  cinema  heaven ! 

Yet  the  dear  colleen  doesn't  know  just 
how  talented  she  is. 

So  the  career  of  Thelma  Percy  from 
sixteen  to  twenty  will  be  an  interesting 
psychological  study,  without  doubt. 


IN  A  MOTION  PICTURE  SHOW 
By  Ted  Olson 

a  face  like  yours  smiled  to  me  from  the  screen 
One    poignant,    fleeting    moment,    and    was 
gone. 
I  sank  down  in  the  seat,  and  all  unseen 
The  picture  changed;   a  new   reel  flickered 
on. 

I  bowed  my  head  unheeding;  thru  my  tears 
The  dim  gates  of  the  past  swung  wide  apart ; 

Out  of  the  reek  and  dust  of  lonely  years 
I  caught  your  memory  back  into  my  heart. 

I  had  forgotten  you.  With  how  much  pain 
I  had  built  up  a  wall  to  bar  you  out ; 

Swearing  that  never  could  j-ou  come  again 
To  drug  my  life  with  bitterness  and  doubt. 

And  I  had  won — was  free — until  that  face 
Came    smiling   in,    laughed    the    gates    open 
wide, 
And  brought  you  back,   in   all  your  old-time 
grace. 
Your    song,   your   youth,    your   beauty — and 
your  pride. 

The  pride  that  broke  my  heart.    And  from  the 
screen 
That    face    like   yours    smiled   down    at    me 
again. 
And  suddenly  my  tired  heart  was  clean — 
Purged  of  its  weight  of  bitterness  and  pain. 

After  the  weary  years  of  wasted  grief 
So  good  it  was  to  think  again  of  you. 

I  banished  doubt,  caught  back  the  old  belief, 
Forgave    you,    dear,    and    pledged    my    love 
anew. 

The  last  reel  flickered  past  and  died.     "Good- 
night" 
Flared   large   upon  the   screen.     I   stumbled 
forth. 
The  rain  was  done ;  the  streets  were  pools  of 
light ; 
Between  the  clouds  one  star  laughed  in  the 
north. 

And  in  that  star  your  smile  .    .    .   Oh,  movie 
maid, 

So  much  like  her  whom  I  may  never  see, 
God  grant  that  some  day  it  may  be  repaid— 

The  gift  you  gave — dreams,  and  a  memory.

MOTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC 

Players  of  Yesterj'ear 

{Continued  from  page  20) 
had  worked  for  so  earnestly,  and  the  fif- 
teen and  twenty  dollars  per  week  the 
star  players  had  valued  so  highly.  A 
little  girl,  with  a  mass  of  golden  curls 
and  eager  little  face  reflecting  each 
passing  thought,  stood  in  line  and  held 
out  her  hand  for  her  envelope  containing 
her  weekly  salary  of  fifteen  dollars.  The 
pride  and  joy  on  the  little  face  was  de- 
lightful to  behold.  A  check  flashed 
across  the  screen.  It  was  the  little  girl's 
weekly  salary  of  today,  and  the  face  of 
the  director  grew  slightly  pale! 

How  young  they  all  had  been  in  those 
days !  How  full  of  the  joy  of  life !  Ob- 
stacles were  overthrown  before  they  had 
really  put  in  an  appearance,  and  nothing 
had  been  too  difficult  to  accomplish ;  with 
a  company  of  one  player  and  three  direc- 
tors, they  Avere  wont  to  produce  any- 
where from  four  to  six  pictures  a  week, 
and  such  pictures  !  With  the  audacity  of 
youth,  rushing  in  where  angels  feared  to 
tread,  they  would  blithely  start  about 
presenting  before  the  public  more  or  less 
authentic  presentations  of  such  plays  as 
"Romeo  and  Juliet,"  "Rip  Van  Winkle," 
"Pickwick  Papers,"  "Vanity  Fair,"  "The 
Christian,"  "Thomas  a  Becket,"  "Abra- 
ham's Sacrifice,"  not  to  mention  "The 
Love  of  John  Ruskin''  or  "How  Wash- 
ington Crossed  the  Delaware,"  "Cardinal 
Wolsey"  and  "The  Spanish  Revolt  of 
1836."  Nothing  was  beyond  their  reach  ! 
And  how  really  greatly  they  had  acted ! 
Florence  Turner,  the  first  leading  woman 
of  any  company,  creating  a  sensation 
when  her  name  appeared  in  conjunction 
with  the  name  of  the  play,  as  hitherto  no 
actor  or  actress  had  ever  been  mentioned 
by  any  of  the  film  companies.  And  the 
dashing  Maurice  Costello,  the  first  of  the 
matinee  idols  and  the  most  popular  man 
in  all  Christendom,  his  homage  coming 
from  all  parts  of  the  world.  And  then 
there  was  the  older  group,  the  pioneer 
players  of  the  silversheet,  consisting  of 
Mrs.  Mary  Maurice,  known  as  the 
"Sweet  old  lady  of  the  screen,"  and  Van 
Dyke  Brooke,  W'illiam  Shea  and  Charles 
Kent  and  many  others  who  had  grown  to 
be  dim  shadows  in  the  obliterating  pas- 
sage of  time. 

Many  of  these  beloved  comrades  of 
youth's  golden  hours  had  died ;  many 
others  had  grown  old  and  were  scattered 
about  the  four  corners  of  the  earth. 
Some  had  disappeared  completely ;  and 
some,  the  youngest  members  of  the 
group,  had  now  come  into  their  own,  and 
were  world-famous. 

A  timid  knock  sounded  on  the  door, 
and  as  a  tired  man  stirs  in  his  sleep, 
mutely  protesting  against  disturbance, 
the  wanderer  on  the  Road  of  Memory 
came  reluctantly  back  from  his  journey. 
A  sigh  slowly  fell  from  his  lips.  He 
thought  not  upon  the  glory  and  wonder 
of  his  recent  achievements,  but  as  he 
rose  to  answer  the  knock  and  to  enter 
again  the  world  of  realities,  a  suspicious 
brightness  appeared  in  his  eye,  and  his 
heart  yearned  over  the  gay  phantom  of 
Youth  now  vanishing  around  the  Corner 
of  the  Past

I  mail.  Yet  when  I  flrst  started  In  1891.  I 
was  nearly  lauKhed  out  of  business,  Could 
I  have  overcome  this  prejudice  and  In-

The  Last  Interview 

{Continued  from  page  51) 

Christie  forces  and  secured  her  chance 
with  Mr.  Griffith. 

Miss  Seymour  was  a  fimi  believer  in 
luck.  "I  was  going  down  to  San  Diego 
on  a  motor  trip  with  friends  on  the  very 
day  Mr.  Griffith  sent  for  me.  In  fact,  I 
was  just  getting  into  the  car  when  the 
message  came.  I  asked  my  friends  to 
drive  by  the  Griffith  studios,  telling  vhem 
it  would  only  take  a  few  minutes  to  see 
Mr.  Griffith.  Then,  to  my  amazement, 
he  signed  me  on  the  spot  and  had  me  get 
into  make-up  for  my  first  scene.  So  I 
went  out  and  told  my  friends."  That  is 
how  Miss  Seymour  came  to  play  in  "The 
Girl  Who  Stayed  at  Home." 

Luck  again  asserted  itself  when  Mr. 
Griffith  was  filming  "Scarlet  Days."  The 
role  of  the  little  Mexican  was  not  in  the 
original  story  at  all.  Mr.  Griffith  noted 
Miss  Seymour  standing  close  by,  watch- 
ing some  of  the  scenes,  and  he  said,  "Do 
you  want  to  play  a  bit  in  this  picture?" 
Miss  Seymour  jumped  at  the  chance,  and 
the  comedy  scene,  in  which  the  fiery  little 
native  girl  bumps  her  head  against  that 
of  the  goat,  was  devised.  The  episode 
proved  so  amusing  that  Mr.  Griffith 
elaborated  the  role  until  it  became  the 
best  remembered  character  in  the  photo- 
play._ 

Miss  Seymour  remained  unaffected 
and  girlish  thru  her  first  taste  of  success. 
Never  will  we  forget  how  she  said:  "I 
want  to  go  on  working  and  learning  for 
a  long  time  yet.  Then  if  I  am  worth  it, 
I  hope  for  stardom — like  all  the  rest." 

It  wasn't  to  be.  Yet  film  fans  are 
going  to  keep  a  place  in  their  heart  of 
hearts  for "Cutie Beautiful,"  who  gave  her 
all  to  the  screen.  How  much  that  might 
have  been  we  can  only  guess.  We  do 
know  that  she  had  won  a  place  unique 
upon  the  silversheet.

Do  directors  always  introduce  a  New

And  where  do  producers  find  the 
wildly  hilarious  cabarets  they  show  in 
their  New  York  night-life  dramas? 


Gosh,  we  hope  the  overall  movement 
doesn't  hit  the  Mack  Sennett  studios!

CHARLES  MiLLEK  slumped  liis  big  form 
down  on  the  leather  couch  in  the 
Realart  projection  room  and  in- 
quired, politely,  if  he  could  smoke.  He 
also  apologized  for  the  immense  smoked 
glasses  he  was  wearing  and  for  his  gen- 
eral appearance  of  all-in-ness. 

"Have  been  working  steadily  thirty-six 
hours,  cutting  film,"  he  said,  "and  I  got 
mad  about  something  this  morning  which 
always  makes  me  sick.  No,  it's  not  tem- 
perament, it's  temper — just  as  it  is  when 
the  furnace  man  gets  mad  because  clink-

Reel  Realities 


DF.  LUXE  motion  picture  theaters  con- 
tinue to  be  built  thruout  America. 
Each  offers  its  feature  photoplay, 
its  symphony  orchestra,  its  program  of 
smaller  pictures  and  its  incidental  musi- 
cal interludes.  The  method  of  better 
class  motion  picture  presentation  has 
been  standardized. 

So  it  will  continue  for  the  present. 
But  we  foresee  screen  theaters  devoted 
to  various  kind  of  cinema  entertainment, 
just  as  various  kinds  of  theatrical  enter- 
tainment have  their  differentiated  audi- 
ences. There  will  be  the  smaller  motion 
picture  theater  devoted  to  the  thought 
photoplay,  the  larger  house  given  over  to 
the  presentation  of  the  film  melodrama, 
possibly  a  home  for  screen  comedy.  One 
will  know  just  the  type  of  entertainment 
one  is  to  see  before  one  enters  a  theater. 
All  this  is  still  a  fantastic  bit  of  imagina- 
tion, for  the  photoplay  making  is  merely 
an  industry — yet. 


Photoplay  producers  are  beginning  to 
discover  the  advisability  of  aping  the 
stage  in  reviving  successful  film  plays. 
By  reviving  we  do  not  mean  merely  re- 
releasing  revised  dramas  with  new  cap- 
tions. 

Companies-are  purchasing  screenplays 
from  other  concerns  and  presenting  them 
in  new  form  with  new  players.  Some 
day  we  shall  perhaps  see  "The  Birth  of 
a  Nation"  with  a  brand  new  cast,  "The 
Miracle  Man"  re-done  and  "Broken 
Blossoms"  reproduced.  And,  like  thea- 
ter old-timers,  we  will  probably  seize  our 
cane,  hobble  to  our  feet  and  declare 
loudly  that  the  new  versions  are  not 
nearly  so  good  as  the  originals — that  the 
palmy  days  of  the  films  have  passed. 


The  theory  that  a  screen  star's  aver- 
age of  popularity  runs  five  years  is  stupid 
reasoning.  There  is  no  reason  why  play- 
ers cannot  grow  old  retaining  the  favor 
of  their  fans.    Why  not? 

The  photoplay  is  too  young  to  point  to 
any  specific  instances.  Pioneers  of 
cinema  acting  are  still  in  their  'teens. 
Boys  like  Bobbie  Harron  can  talk  of  the 
very  first  days  of  the  photoplay  from 
first-hand  experiences. 

The  point  is  made  that  many  favorites 
have  flashed  upon  the  screen,  enjoyed 
their  brief  favor  and  disappeared.  But 
there  have  been  real  reasons  for  each 
disappearance.  Some  of  these  favorites 
deliberately  retired,  some  dissipated  their 
abilities  and  some — let's  whisper  this — 
had  no  ability. 

For  centuries  stage  players  have  grown 
old  while  retaining  their  place  in  the 
affections  of  audiences.  There  are  hun- 
dreds of  instances.  Why  cannot  motion 
picture  stars  do  the  same  thing?  Just  as 
Ethel  Barrymore  played  ingenues  com- 
paratively recently  and  is  now  portray- 
ing mature  women  of  the  world,  so  will 
Mary  Pickford's  art  graduate  and  mel- 
low. Thirty  years  from  now  Miss  Pick- 
ford,  Charlie  Chaplin  and  Charlie  Ray 


should  be  as  popular  as  they  are  today — 
if  they  wish  to  be.  Their  roles  w'iU  be 
different,  that's  all. 


Speaking  of  acting,  the  histrionic  level 
is  far  in  advance  of  ten  years  ago.  Re- 
member when  a  merely  handsome  hero 
was  accepted,  when  any  sort  of  fil-lem 
cutie  passed  for  feminine  genius?  The 
manikin-doll  days  have  gone. 

To  be  sure,  movie  producers  still  seize 
upon  every  bit  of  feminine  charm  and 
masculine  ability  that  asserts  itself  above 
the  cinema  surface.  Witness  the  quick 
stardom  just  accorded  Richard  Barthel- 
mess,  Bebe  Daniels  and  Wanda  Havvley. 
But  the  ultimate  fate  of  a  star  rests  with 
the  audience.  More  than  mere  photo- 
graphic appeal  is  necessary.  Fans  de- 
mand acting  ability  these  days. 


The  organization  of  motion  picture 
publicity  men — the  Associated  Motion 
Picture  Advertisers — has  launched  a 
movement  to  interest  the  newspapers  of 
the  country  in  the  publication  of  screen 
news.  They  reason — and  reason  very 
logically — that  newspapers  devote  page 
after  page  to  sporting  gossip  when,  at 
the  most,  but  75  per  cent,  of  the  mascu- 
line readers  are  actively  interested  in 
these  columns.  On  the  other  hand,  most 
newspapers  publish  absolutely  nothing  in 
the  way  of  cinema  information,  altho  98 
per  cent,  of  both  masculine  and  feminine 
readers  go  to  see  pictures  and  are  ac- 
tively interested.     Why? 

It  is  because  newspaper  proprietors 
and  editors  do  not  comprehend  the  need 
and  the  demand.    But  it  will  come. 


The  frenzied  era  of  the  star  has  ju.st 
ended.  By  this  we  do  not  mean  that 
stars  will  cease  to  be.  \Ve  do  mean  that 
the  photoplay  does  not  revolve  around 
them  as  formerly. 

The  era  of  the  director  is  here.  It 
will  probably  go  to  the  extreme  of  the 
previous  star  period. 

The  era  of  the  author  is  dawning,  in- 
deed, if  it  has  not  already  reached  its 
high  noon.  Producers  are  paying  up  to 
$f50,000  for  stories.  Thirty  thousand  is 
but  an  average  screen  price  for  a  stage 
play  or  novel. 

After  these  periods  exhaust  themselves 
and  stars,  directors  and  authors  have  re- 
tired to  wealth  and  rest,  we  hope  for  the 
dawn  of  another  era:  that  of  the  audi- 
ence. 

We  are  heartily  wearied  of  hearing 
producers,  stars,  directors  and  scenario- 
ists  talking  loudly  and  confidently  of 
what  the  public  wants.  Too  long  the 
exhibitor  has  been  a  stone  wall  blocking 
the  public  on  every  side.  The  exhibitor 
must  improve  and  he  must  take  his  audi- 
ence into  his  confidence ;  the  present 
powers- that-be  in  the  film  world  must 
cease  to  think  that  the  photoplay  depends 
wholly  upon  them  individually ;  and  the 
audience  must  have  an  active  voice — or 
we  fear  for  the  photoplay  of,  say,  1925.

The 

Motion  Picture 

Magazine  for 

August 

Will  supply  the  urgent  need  of  a 
companion  for  the  long  after- 
noons of  summer — 

For  the  idle,  languorous  mo- 
ments of  intense  heat — 

For  the  daily  siesta — 

The  hot  nights — 

For  any  of  the  periods  of  time  in 
which  the  body  is  resting  while 
the  mind  is  wide-awake  and  keen- 
ly alert. 

Every  reader  of  this  issue  will  be 
delighted  with  the  interview 
which  Adele  Whitely  Fletcher 
had  with  Alice  Brady  not  so  long 
ago.  Alice  has  confided  to  Miss 
Fletcher  her  innermost  thoughts 
upon  certain  interesting  phases 
of  life. 

There  have  been  so  many  de- 
mands for  an  interview  with 
Monroe  Salisbury  that  we  had 
to  wire  our  Elizabeth  Peltret  to 
see  him  at  once.     She  did ! 

Jerome  Lachenbrach  has  written 
an  unusual  article  on  the  associa- 
tion and  influence  of  music  on 
the  silversheet. 

The  gloriously  vivid  Doris 
Keane,  heroine  of  "Romance," 
has  been  interviewed  by  Gladys 
Hall. 

And  the  latest  follower  in  the 
footsteps  of  the  irresistible  Ana- 
lol,  Eric  von  Stroheim,  has  been 
pinned  down  to  a  series  of  unique 
confessions  by  James  Fredericks. 

It  goes  without  saying  that  the 
novelizations  will  be  the  best  to 
be  had — and  the  photographs 
likewise.

region  of  the  \'.ikon,  puff  and  pant  in  the 
noonday  sun  and  occasionally  have  to  be

Anita  Stewart,  on  the  completion  of 
her  next  picture,  is  going  to  vacation  for 
three  months.  Probably  she'll  journey 
to  Palm  Beach,  Fla.,  for  a  rest,  ending 
up  in  New  York  at  dressmakers'  estab- 
lishments. 

All  the  Metro  stars  got  a  thrill  the 
other  day  when  the  daughter  of  a  real 
e.x-President  visited  them.  She  was 
Helen  Taft,  daughter  of  the  famous  Bill, 
who  is  herself  president  of  Bryn  Mawr 
College.  She  came  in  an  effort  to  raise 
an  endowment  fund  for  her  university 
and  was  royally  entertained  during  her 
stay  here.  May  Allison  conducted  her 
on  a  Cook's  tour  thru  the  studio,  while 
Viola  Dana  hurriedly  picked  a  bunch  of 
daisies — Bryn  Mawr's  flower — and  pre- 
sented it  to  Miss  Taft.  It  was  Miss 
Taft's  first  glimpse  of  a  picture  studio. 

It  pays  to  be  vamped !  At  least,  it 
paid  Rosemary  Theby  $250  for  one  day's 
experience  with  Lew  Cody.  There  was  a 
difficult  part  in  the  Cody  story,  "The 
Butterfly  Man,"  which  called  for  an  ex- 
perienced leading  lady.  Miss  Theby  had 
journeyed  to  the  studio  to  see  a  friend. 
Cody  was  wondering  whom  he  could  get 
for  the  "ruination"  experience  and  Rose- 
mary said  she'd  play  the  part — which  she 
did  at  the  rate  of  $50  a  kiss. 

The  widely  read  story,  "The  Jack- 
knife  Man,"  by  Ellis  Parker  Butler,  has 
been  filmed  by  King  Vidor. 

Page  a  profiteer !  Louise  Glaum  has 
driven  'em  so  .successfully  away  from 
Culver  City  that  there  isn't  one  to  be 
found.  Reason  ?  Overalls !  By  the 
simple  expedient  of  making  the  matter  of 
attire  a  civic  function.  Miss  Glaum  has 
thrown  a  bombshell  into  the  profiteer 
ranks.  In  fact,  she  threw  a  bombshell 
into  the  community  in  general  when  she 
appeared  at  luncheon  one  day  clad  in 
overalls.  Chief  in  her  support  of  the 
mode  were  James  Kirkwood,  her  leading 
man;  Wesley  Ruggles,  her  director; 
Joseph  Kilgour,  and  even  J.  Parker 
Read,  Jr.,  producer  of  the  Glaum  plays. 
It  started  quite  a  fad,  and  now  Mabel 
Normand  asserts  that  she's  gonna  wear 
overalls,  too. 

Cecil  B.  de  Mille  has  given  us  "Some- 
thing to  Think  About" — a  new  picture, 
different  from  anything  he  has  ever  done 
before — and  also  a  chance,  once  again,  to 
view  Elliott  Dexter.  Dexter  has  been  ill 
and  off  the  screen  for  more  than  a  year. 
Nobody  seemed  to  forget  him,  however, 
for  his  "fan"  mail  deluged  the  studio 
continually  at  the  rate  of  2,000  letters  a 
week.  In  the  new  De  Mille  picture  no 
one  would  ever  know  that  Elliott  has 
been  an  invalid.  He's  as  handsome  as 
ever  and  the  screen  love  he  makes  to 
Gloria  Swanson  is  quite  as  ardent  as  of 
yore.

Mabel 


One  of  Mabel  Normand's 
pet  hobbies  is  motor-cycling 
and  she  spends  all  her  spare 
time  away  from  the  Goldwyn 
studios  upon  her  trusty 
Indian 


"The  continuity  of  this  ma- 
chine is  all  wrong,"  mutters 
Miss  Normand.  "Let's  give 
it  a  close-up.  .  .  .  Here's 
where  I  fade  out  to  the  book 
of  instructions!"

You  can  see  them 
everywhere 

This  new  method  is  used  on  millions 
of  teeth  now.  Wherever  you  look  you 
see  the  results  of  it.  You  see  glisten- 
ing teeth — teeth  you  envy,  probably. 
And  you  know  they  are  well  cared  for. 

You  can  learn  the  way,  without  cost, 
by  a  simple  ten-day  test.  And  we  urge 
you  to  make  it  now.  There  are  few 
things  more  important. 


Those  Pretty  Teeth 

No  Cloudy  Film-Coat  on  Them 

This  Is  How  Millions  Now  Get  Them 

AH  Statements  Approred  by  High  Dental  Authorities 


Millions  of  people  have  found  the 
way  to  whiter,  cleaner,  safer  teeth. 
This  is  to  urge  that  you  accept  a  ten- 
day  test.  See  how  it  changes  your 
teeth,  then  decide  about  it  by  the  vis- 
ible results. 

They  fight  film 

Modern  research  shows  that  the 
cause  of  most  tooth  troubles  is  a  vis- 
cous film.  You  can  feel  it  with  your 
tongue.  It  clings  to  teeth,  enters  crev- 
ices and  stays. 

The  ordinary  tooth  paste  does  not 
dissolve  it.  So  brushing  has  left  much 
of  it  intact.  And  night  and  day,  on 
countless  teeth,  it  may  do  a  ceaseless 
damage. 

It  is  this  film-coat  which  discolors, 
not  the  teeth.  Film  is  the  basis  of  tar- 
tar. It  holds  food  substance  which 
ferments  and  forms  acid.  It  holds  the 
acid  in  contact  with  the  teeth  to  cause 
decay. 

Millions  of  germs  breed  in  it.  They, 
with  tartar,  are  the  chief  cause  of 
pyorrhea.  So  few  escape  the  troubles 
caused  by  film. 

The  way  to  end  it 

Dental  science,  after  years  of  search- 
ing, has  found  a  way  to  combat  film. 


Able  authorities  have  proved  its  effi- 
ciency by  clinical  and  laboratory  tests. 
Now  leading  dentists  everywhere  ad- 
vise it. 

The  method  is  embodied  in  a  denti- 
frice called  Pepsodent.  And  this  new- 
day  tooth  paste,  in  all  ways,  complies 
with  modern  dental  requirements. 

To  make  it  known  quickly  to  the 
millions  who  need  it,  a  10-Day  Tube 
is  being  sent  to  everyone  who  asks. 


Based 


on  pepsm 


The  film  is  albuminous  matter.  So 
Pepsodent  is  based  on  pepsin,  the  di- 
gestant  of  albumin.  The  object  is  to 
dissolve  the  film,  then  to  constantly 
combat  it. 

Pepsin  long  seemed  impossible.  It 
must  be  activated,  and  the  usual  agent 
is  an  acid  harmful  to  the  teeth.  But 
dental  science  has  now  found  a  harm- 
less activating  method.  Now  pepsin 
can  be  every  day  applied,  and  forced 
by  the  brush  where  the  film  goes. 


It  complies  with  all  modem  require- 
ments. So  in  three  great  ways  this 
dentifrice  surpasses  all  the  former 
methods.  Now  every  family  should  at 
once  find  out  how  much  this  method 


The  results  are  quick  and 
apparent 

Send  the  coupon  for  a  10-Day  Tube. 
Note  how  clean  the  teeth  feel  after 
using.  Mark  the  absence  of  the  vis- 
cous film.  See  how  the  teeth  whiten 
as  the  fixed  film  disappears. 

Pepsodent  needs  no  argument.  You 
will  see  the  results  when  you  try  it. 
And  the  book  we  send  explains  the 
reason  for  them. 

Compare  your  teeth  now  with  your 
teeth  in  ten  days.  The  facts  will  be  a 
revelation  to  you.  Decide  by  those 
results  then  between  the  old  ways  and 
the  new.  Cut  out  the  coupon  so  you 
won't  forget.

Man  alive- 
Listen! 


You  can  smoke  Camels 
till  the  cows  come  home 
without  tiring  your  taste ! 

CAMELS  bring  to  you  every  joy  you  ever 
looked  for  in  a  cigarette !  They  are  so  new 
to  your  taste,  so  delightful  in  their  mellow 
mildness  and  flavor,  and  so  refreshing,  you  will 
marvel  that  so  much  enjoyment  could  be  put 
into  a  cigarette ! 

To  the  most  fastidious  smoker,  Camels  are 
a  revelation  ! 

Camels  quality  is  as  unusual  as  Camels 
expert  blend  of  choice  Turkish  and  choice 
Domestic  tobaccos  which  you  will  prefer  to 
either  kind  of  tobacco  smoked  straight!  No 
matter  how  liberally  you  smoke,  Camels  never 
will  tire  your  taste ! 

You  will  marvel  at  Camels  smooth  "body" 
And,  your  delight  will  also  be  keen  when  you 
realize  Camels  leave  no  unpleasant  cigaretty 
aftertaste  nor  unpleasant  cigaretty  odor! 

For  your  own  personal  proof,  compare  Camels 
with  any  cigarette  in  the  world  at  any  price. 


Camels  are  sold  everywhere  in  scientifically 
sealed  packages  of  20  cigarettes  for  20  cents; 
or  ten  packages  {200  cigarettes)  in  a  glassine- 
paper-covered  carton.  We  strongly  recom- 
mend  this  carton  for  home  or  office  supply  or 
vrhen  you  travel.

Greatest  of  All  Popularity  Contests 

Unique  Competition  in  Which  the  Voters  Share  in  the  Prizes 

WHO  IS  THE  ONE  GREAT  STAR  OF  THE  SCREEN? 

Is  it  CHARLIE  CHAPLIN  or  ELSIE  FERGUSON? 

Is  it  RICHARD  BARTHELMESS  or  WILLIAM  S.  HART? 


Concerning  this  matter  there  is  great  difference  of  opinion.  Every  fan,  in  fact,  has  his  own  idol.  The  Wall 
street  broker  swears  by  MARY  PICKFORD;  his  wife  thinks  TOM  MIX  is  the  best  actor  the  cinema  has 
produced;  the  office  boy  has  a  "crush"  on  THEDA  BARA  and  the  stenographer  collects  photographs  of 
DOUGLAS  FAIRBANKS. 

What  do  you  think?  If  you  had  a  vote  would  you  give  it  to  NAZIMOVA  or  to  LILLIAN  GISH?  Would 
you  vote  for  a  man  or  a  woman  or  for  little  BEN  ALEXANDER? 

Shadowland,  Motion  Picture  Magazine,  and  Motion  Picture  Classic — the  three  great  magazines  of  the 
Motion  Picture  world — have  decided  to  refer  this  question  to  their  readers  by  taking  a  popular,  world- 
wide vote.  In  regard  to  matters  concerning  the  stage  and  theater  their  audience  is  the  most  intelligent  and 
discerning;  the  most  wide  awake  and  well  informed  in  the  world  today.  If  any  picture  patrons  can  pick 
out  the  leading  star,  it  will  be  those  who  read  Shadowland,  the  Magazine  and  Classic. 

The  coupofis  will  show  you  how  to  enter  your  own  name  and  the  name  of  your  favorite  player.  But  you 
may  vote  on  an  ordinary  sheet  of  paper  in  Class  Number  2  provided  you  make  the  ballot  the  same  size 
and  follow  the  wording  of  this  coupon.  We  prefer  the  printed  coupons  for  uniformity  and  convenience  in 
counting. 

There  will  be  prizes  for  voters  and  prizes  for  stars. 

Votes  registered  in  Class  Number  1  will  probably  be  cast  by  favor.  Votes  registered  in  Class  Number  2 
will  call  for  a  wide  knowledge  of  the  Motion  Picture  business,  keen  powers  of  perception  and  skill  at  de- 
tecting the  trend  of  popular  favor.     You  cannot  guess  the  winner  offhand. 


The    contest     began     on     December     1, 
September  30,    1920. 


There  will  be   ten  ballots  as  follows:

RULES   OF  THE   CONTEST 

d    will     close    on  3.     The  result  of  each  month's  ballot  will  be  published  in  each  one  of 

our  magazines  the   second  month  following  such  ballot. 

4.  No  votes  will  be  received  prior  to  the  opening  date  or  after  the 

date  of  closing. 

5.  Each   person    entering  the  contest   and   observing  the  rules  thereof 

shall  have  the  privilege  of  voting  once  in  each  class,  each  month,

each  class  for  Shadowland  every  month,  and  the  same  for 
Motion  Picture  Magazine  and  yet  again  the  same  for  Classic. 
Thus,  you  will  have  three  votes  in  Class  No.  1  each  month,  and 
three  votes  in  Class  No.  2  each  month.

"From  Within— Without"  1 

{Continued  from  page  84) 
cities  they  were  certainly  of  incalculable 
value  to  us  in  obtaining:  the  Yukon  effects 
we  wanted  for  our  picture.    We  left  or- 
ders to  be  called  when  a  storm  broke  at 
night  and  every  one  would  tumble  out 
with   enthusiasm,   and   what   wonderful 
shots  of  driving  storms  we  did  get !   Our 
village  was  snowed  under  at  one  time 
and  we  had   considerable  trouble  with 
the   lights.     We   were   up   there   three 
months— seventy  of  us,  most  of  the  time 
in  Port  Henry's  solitary  hotel.    It  is  usu- 
ally a  fact  that  such  an  experience  tries 
the  nerves  to  the  breaking  point.     But 
we  didn't  have  a  bit  of  trouble.    We  were 
just  a  big  happy  family  and  got  along 
much  better  than  most  families ! 

"And    the    townspeople  — they    were 
more  interested  in  us  than  we  were  m 
ourselves     Thev  entertained  us  in  their 
homes   and   clubs.     They   extended  us 
every    assistance    and    cooperation    and 
when  we  left,  the  Chamber  of  Commerce 
sent  us  a  letter  telling  us  how  pleasant 
an  experience  it  had  been  to  have  us 
there      I  found  many  types  among  the 
natives,  too,  for  the  extras  I  needed  in 
the  picture.     I  used  them  in  the  court- 
room scenes  and  in  the  many  dance-hall 
scenes.    They  made  exactly  the  right  at- 
mosphere, and  they  didn't  act  all  over  the 
place  either !  .    ,       ^  c   ■ 

"The  story,  you  know,  is  based  tor  a 
theme  on  those  lines  of  Robert  W.  Ser- 
vice's immortal  poem; — 
"This  is  the  Law  of  the  Yukon,  that  only  the 

strong  shall  thrive;  . 

That  surely  the  weak  shall  perish,  and  only 

the  fit  survive.  .  ,  .       .     .  j       j 

Dissolute,  damned  and  despairful,  crippled  and 

palsied  and  slain.  t      j   u        ..t,. 

This  is  the  Will  of  the  Yukon-Lord,  how  she 

malies  it  plain!" 

"It's  a  powerful  story,"  said  Charles 
Miller  reflectively,  "and,  thanks  to  our 
wonderful  camera  men  and  the  coopera- 
tion of  our  splendid  company,  I  dont 
think  anything  just  like  it  has  ever  been 
caught  for  the  camera  before. 

Charles  Miller  has  been  "in  harness, 
as  he  expresses  it,  all  his  life.    He  began 
his  career  in  stock,  continuing  for  many 
years,  playing  every  role  from  comedy 
and  character  parts  to  leads,  and  was 
(altho  he  did  not  tell  me)   one  of  the 
popular  matinee  idols  of  his  day.    After 
his  stock  experience,  he  played  under  the 
management  of  Charles  Frohman,  Charles 
Harris,   David    Belasco   and   other   big 
managers.      He    is    singularly    reticent 
about   speaking   of   his   success   on  the 
speaking  stage,  but  did  admit  that     the 
Great  Divide,"  in  which  he  was  starred, 
was  his  favorite  of  all  the  plays  in  which 
he  appeared.     Following  his  acting  ex- 
perience he  became  a  stage  director  of 
note,  having  directed  many  of  our  best- 
known  stage  artists. 

Five  years  ago,  he  entered  the  motion 
picture  field.  The  first  year  he  acted  m 
pictures,  playing  a  part  in  Civilization 
and  one  or  two  other  pictures  Not  ttiat 
I  wanted  to  be  a  screen  actor,  he  said,  i 
wanted  to  direct;  but  how  could  I  direct 
pictures  until  I  had  first  acted  in  them? 


CLASSIC 

"Are  you  one  who  thinks  that  previ- 
ous stage  experience  is  necessary  in  or- 
der to  do  your  best  work  for  the  camera 
— both  in  acting  and  directing?" 

"That  is  a  broad  question,"  he  smiled. 
"There  are  directors  who  have  made  a 
success  of  pictures  who  never  directed  a 
stage  play.  Generally  speaking,  I  will 
say  that  to  succeed  on  the  screen,  one 
should  have  stage  experience — whether 
acting  or  directing.  Not  that  this  ex- 
perience is  vital,  but  the  artist  of  the 
speaking  stage  has  poise,  self-confidence 
and  brings  to  the  screen  the  art  and  un- 
derstanding bred  of  an  intimate  knowl- 
edge of  the  technique  of  acting.  Of 
course,  there  are  a  number  of  successful 
screen  stars  who  never  were  on  the  stage 
— but  they  had  a  great  deal  to  learn  and 
a  harder  road  to  travel  to  success  than 
their  brethren  who  stepped  from  the 
stage  to  the  screen.  And  it's  the  same 
with  directing.  There  are  directors  who 
have  made  a  success  of  pictures  who 
never  directed  a  stage  play.  But — usu- 
ally, it  has  been  a  pictorial  success  rather 
than  a  dramatic  success. 

"Theories?  No — I  have  none.  You 
know  how  it  is  with  bringing  up  a  family. 
Before  you  have  any,  you  have  all  kinds 
of  theories.  But  after  you  get  one,  you 
just  worry  along  as  best  you  can  and  the 
theories — well,  you  find  out  how  little 
theory  amounts  to.  It's  doing  that 
counts.  There  is  one  thing,  tho,  that  has 
gone  with  me  since  I  went  into  the  the- 
atrical business.  It's  the  one  thought  I 
have  worked  with:  'From  williin,  with- 
out.' If  it's  in,  it  will  come  out — do  you 
see?  When  I  was  on  the  stage,  I  had  al- 
ways that  thought  in  mind  and  tried  to 
work  out  of  myself  what  was  within.  In 
directing,  I  do  the  same.  And  if  I  can 
get  no  response  from  the  actor,  I  know 
there  is  nothing  within. 

"That  is  why  I  am  so  insistent  upon 
rehearsals.  On  the  speaking  stage,  the 
carefully  trained  and  modulated  voice  has 
more  to  do  with  success  than  many,  not  in 
the  profession,  realize.  But  in  pictures 
the  voice  is  out  of  it  and  that's  where 
art  comes  in.  The  expression  of  one's 
face,  the  eyes,  the  smile,  the  use  of  the 
hands,  one's  very  walk  before  the  cam- 
era must  be  studied  for  effect.  There 
are  no  sound  effects,  nothing  off  stage  to 
help  along  the  action.  The  artist  must 
put  it  over.  And  there's  such  tempta- 
tion to  overact !  And  so,  I  rehearse  my 
players  over  and  over,  making  them 
speak  regular  lines  too^imtil  they  for- 
get they  are  'acting'  and  go  thru  the  scene 
naturally.  My  people  always  know  the 
story  thoroly  and  I  encourage  them  to 
use  their  intelligence  and  make  any  sug- 
gestions that  may  occur  to  them  as  we 
go  along.  I  never  follow  a  storjf  in  cut- 
and-dried  fashion — it's  the  little  bits  of 
spontaneity  that  add  heart  interest  and 
often  make  a  corking  picture  out  of  a 
mediocre  story. 

"Motion    pictures    have    such    infinite 
possibilities.    They  are  going  to  do  what 
the   stage   might  do  but   cant  do — they

Bubble  grains  on   berries 

Mix  these  airy,  flimsy  bubbles 
in  every  dish  of  berries.  Use 
Puffed  Rice  or  Corn  Puffs.  The 
blend  is  delightful.  It  adds  what 
crust  adds  to  a  shortcake. 

At  breakfast,  also,  serve  with 
cream  and  sugar — any  of  these 
fragile,  fascinating  grains. 


June  Evenings 


Whole   wheat 

steam    exploded 

For  suppers,  float  Puffed  Wheat 
in  milk.  That  means  whole  wheat 
with  every  food  cell  blasted.  The 
grains  are  puffed  to  eight  times 
normal  size. 

They  seem  like  tidbits,  but  every 
flaky  globule  is  a  grain  of  wheat 
made  easy  to  digest. 


June  Afternoons 


Airy,  nut-like  confections 

For  hungry  children,  crisp  and  douse 
with  melted  butter.  Then  Puffed  Grains 
become  nut-like  confections,  to  be  eaten 
like  peanuts  or  popcorn. 

Use  also  like  nut-meats  as  a  garnish  on 
ice  cream.    Use  as  wafers  in  j^our  soups.

couple  to  keep  their  marriage  a  secret 
from  an  irascible  father,  anxious  friends 
and  all  sorts  of  other  human  "complica- 
tions." Nobody  stands  out  in  the  farce. 
Alatt  Moore  and  Marjorie  Daw  play  the 
newly  married  couple. 

If  we  may  judge  by  the  early  "Edgar" 
stories  of  Booth  Tarkington,  these  short 
Goldwyn  releases  are  going  to  be  genu- 
inely delightful.  "Edgar's  Hamlet,"  for 
instance,  is  a  decidedly  amusing  presen- 
tation of  the  youthful  Edgar's  efforts  to 
produce  the  Bard's  tragedy  in  the  family 
barn.  Tarkington  knows  youth  and 
enough  of  Tarkington  gets  to  the  screen 
in  these  film  stories  to  lift  them  into  the 
unusual.  E.  Mason  Hopper  is  directing 
them  very  competently. 

"A  Fool  and  His  Money,"  (Selznick), 
is  based  upon  a  George  Barr  McCutcheon 
romance — one  of  those  things  that  are  a 
thousand  miles  from  real  life.  A  suc- 
cessful American  novelist  buys  an  Aus- 
trian castle  and  forthwith  discovers  a 
persecuted  American  girl  living  in  a  de- 
serted wing  of  the  structure.  Certain 
mild  adventures  launch  themselves  at 
once.  Eugene  O'Brien's  whimsical  left 
eyebrow  is  just  as  whimsical  as  ever  in 
this  cinema  effort.  Rubye  de  Remer  is 
much  better  as  the  heroine,  to  our  unso- 
phisticated way  of  thinking.  By  adroit 
camera  work,  Robert  Ellis  attains  some 
effects  of  seemingly  limitless  baronial 
castle  halls. 

Norma  Talmadge's  most  recent  ve- 
hicle, "The  Woman  Gives,"  (First  Na- 
tional), is  no  better  or  no  worse  than 
her  recent  vehicles.  Indeed,  they  are  all 
bloodless.  We  understand  that  an  im- 
perial ukase  in  the  Talmadge  fold  re- 
quires highly  emotional  roles,  stories  in 
which  the  heroine  is  absolutely  untar- 
nished in  thought  and  action.  No  won- 
der Miss  Talmadge's  vehicles  are  weak 
dramas.  How  can  one  be  emotional 
about  nothing?  In  "The  Woman  Gives" 
she  plays  a  sweet,  guileless  art  model 
who  loves  and  is  beloved  by  a  struggling 
painter.  She  chances  the  loss  of  this 
love — the  young  chap  is  very  jealous — in 
order  to  befriend  and  help  a  genius  who 
has  slipped  to  the  depths  thru  his  wife's 
infidelity.  Then  she  returns  to  the  man 
of  her  heart  and  to  happiness. 

The  story  reveals  no  signs  of  life  any- 
where. Miss  Talmadge  photographs  as 
charmingly  as  ever — but  that  is  about  all 
one  can  say.  There  is  no  plot  develop- 
ment and  no  characterization  anywhere. 
Neither  Edmund  Lowe  nor  John  Holli- 
day  awaken  any  interest  as  the  lover  and 
the  derelict  genius. 

Nazimova  is  always  vivid  enough  to 
lend  a  certain  interest  to  any  screen  play. 
Thus  "The  Heart  of  a  Child,"  (Metro), 
has  a  measure  of  appeal.  But  the  whole 
thing  will  be  quickly  forgotten.  She 
plays  a  little  cockney  gutter  child  of  the 
London  slums  who  attracts  the  eye  and 
love  of  an  English  nobleman.  Thru  his 
aid  she  attains  stage  success  and  even- 
tually marries  her  benefactor.  The  old 
Cinderella  tale  is  still  popular,  isn't  it? 


roin  page  49) 

We  are  still  waiting  for  Nazimova  to 
equal  her  unforgettable  "Revelation." 
We  can  easily  understand  why  she  has 
not.  She  needs  a  strong  restraining 
hand — a  producer  or  director  with  cour- 
age and  will  enough  to  apply  her  genius 
in  the  right  sort  of  stories.  At  present 
she  is  running  rampant. 

Geraldine  Farrar,  being  a  most  popu- 
lar operatic  Carmen,  must  needs  go  on 
playing  fiery  Spanish  cigaret  girls  in  the 
films.  In  "The  Woman  and  the  Pup- 
pet," (Goldwyn),  she  flirts  with  a  con- 
ceited fop  who  is  adulated  by  less  desirous 
senoritas,  taunts  him  and  snaps  her 
fingers  in  his  face  until,  enraged,  he  de- 
velops into  a  caveman.  Then  he  slaps 
her  face — and  no  mild  slaps  are  they — 
until  the  tears  come.  After  which  she 
willingly  gives  him  her  lips.  We  must 
admit  that  the  audience  which  observed 
"The  Woman  and  the  Puppet"  with  us 
laughed  outright  at  Lou-Tellegen  as  the 
lover.  It  has  no  sympathy  for  the  sickly 
sentimentalist  who  was  willing  to  liter- 
ally— as  well  as  figuratively — kiss  the 
sehorita's  feet.  To  our  mind,  "The 
Woman  and  the  Puppet"  is  weak  screen 
stuff. 

Scenarioists  seem  to  be  fascinated  by 
the  idea  that  the  ocean  bottom  is  studded 
with  treasure  as  a  result  of  U-boat  ac- 
tivities in  the  recent  war.  "Below  the 
Surface"  and  "Terror  Island,"  (both 
Paramounts),  revolve  around  the  iden- 
tical idea. 

The  first  concerns  the  machinations  of 
a  scoundrel  and  his  paramour,  who  plot 
to  win  over  a  daring  young  diver  that 
they  may  use  him  to  recover  some  of  this 
lost  treasure.  The  diver  retains  his 
faith  in  the  adventuress  even  after  her 
mysterious  death  in  a  steamship  disaster. 
But,  after  he  looks  thru  a  porthole  of  the 
sunken  vessel  and  sees  the  woman  dead 
in  the  arms  of  the  villain,  he  realizes 
all,  and  after  the  proper  period  of  brain 
fever,  comes  back  to  the  village  maid 
who  has  loved  him  all  along.  She  is  a 
young  woman  who  was  foolish  enough 
to  pin  her  faith  in  pies  rather  than  rouge. 
We  call  "Below  the  Surface"  unpleas- 
ant stuff.  That  is,  unpleasant  without 
any  real  reason  for  existing;  i.e.,  point- 
ing a  cinema  moral. 

"Terror  Island"  exploits  Houdini.  It 
is  a  five-reel  drama  done  with  that  deep 
insight  into  life  displayed  by  a  construc- 
tor of  serial  thrills.  In  other  words,  it  is 
a  series  of  palpably  absurd  incidents 
intended  to  be  ultra-startling.     It  isn't. 

Bert  Lytell  does  not  equal  his  splendid 
work  in  "The  Right  of  Way"  with  his 
portrayal  of  the  reformed  safe  opener  in 
"Alias  Jimmy  Valentine,"  (Metro).  Of 
course,  you  remember  the  stage  Valen- 
tine, whose  nerves  were  attuned  so  sensi- 
tively that  he  could  open  any  safe  by 
sandpapering  his  fingertips  and  running 
them  o\'er  tke  vault  knobs.  Lj-tell,  who 
is  steadily  advancing,  makes  a  highly 
likable  Jimmy  and  Vola  Vale  is  a  pleasant

enough  reason  for  the  reformation.  Wil- 
ton Taylor  is  excellent  as  the  hard-boiled 
detective  who  finally  relents.  Why  the 
prison  stripes  of  ten  or  so  years  ago 
when  the  feminine  styles  are  plainly  of 
1920? 

We  admit  rather  liking  Irene  Castle 
in  "The  Amateur  Wife,"  (Paramount). 
This  we  attribute  to  Miss  Castle,  for  the 
theme  is  that  ancient  one  of  the  unappre- 
ciated wife  who  blossoms  forth  from  an 
ugly  duckling  into  a  swan  and  awakens 
her  hubby's  slumbering  affections.  Some 
sordid  melodrama  has  been  dragged  in  to 
brace  up  the  trite  tale.  Mrs.  Castle 
isn't  emotionally  compelling,  but  she 
lends  a  certain  pleasant  personality  to  a 
part  of  the  proceedings.  Whether  or  not 
you  like  "The  Amateur  Wife"  will  de- 
pend upon  whether  or  not  you  like  the 
star.  \V.  T.  Carleton  is  the  husband. 
We  detect  a  certain  Dick  Barthelmess 
quality  in  Arthur  Rankin,  who  appears 
briefly  in  a  fearful  role. 

"My  Lady's  Garter,"  (Paramount),  a 
Maurice  Tourneur  production  of  the 
late  Jacques  Futrelle's  mystery  story, 
long  held  awaiting  release,  is  unreal  stuff, 
with  a  hero  who  appears  for  nearly  five 
reels  to  be  a  master  crook  but  who  de- 
velops to  be  a  great  detective.  The  de- 
tectives in  this  affair  are  as  dense  as  the 
heavy-footed  gentry  who  have  been  trail- 
ing the  eminent  Mr.  Nicky  Arnstein,  Esq.

are  going  to  teach  the  great  masses  of 
people.  They  are  going  to  bring  the  best 
of  everything  within  reach  of  these 
people.  That's  why  I'm  glad  that  so 
many  of  our  great  stage  artists  are  com- 
ing to  the  screen.  And  the  screen  is  be- 
coming our  greatest  educational  factor. 
Strange,  isn't  it?"  he  mused,  "when  we 
remember  that  in  some  communities  only 
a  few  years  ago  picture  houses  were  not 
considered  respectable.  And  now,  the 
very  churches  are  installing  projection 
machines  and  giving  over  one  or  more 
services  a  week  for  the  showing  of  mo- 
tion pictures — and  they  are  installed  in 
our  colleges  for  the  purpose  of  teaching 
different  subjects — great,  isn't  it.  and  a 
glorious  monument  to  the  determination 
and  courage  of  the  few  men  who  saw  the 
vision  and  followed  it?"

way  we'd  rename  'em : 

"Peter  Pan'' — "Up  in  Peter's  Tree." 
"Othello"— "The  Black  Barrier." 
"Romeo  and  Juliet" — "Passion." 
"Vanity  Fair" — "The  Lady  of  Lure." 
"As  You  Like  It"— "The  Forest  Vir- 
gin." 

It's  easy,  when  you  know  how. 


Why  is  it  that  motion  picture  magnates 
never  merely  travel  across  country  ?  Why 
mu.st  they  always  "rush"  or  "dash?"

US  farewell  for  several  months  when  she 
leaves  New  York  in  June  for  her  native 
Sweden.    Miss  Nilsson  has  not  seen  her 
parents  in  nearly  a  dozen  years,  due  to 
(he  war  and  everything,  and   as  soon  as 
she  finishes  playing  opposite  Hobart  Bos- 
worth  in  "Bucko  Mc.\lister  '  she  s  going 
to  skip  to  New  York.     When  Anna  _Q. 
came  to  America  she  did  so  with  the  in- 
tention   of    becoming    a    school-teacher. 
But  Fate,  however,  cast  her  as  Penrhyn 
Stanlaws'  model,  and  an  offer  of  forty 
dollars  a  week  persuaded  her  to  join  a 
company  of  Kalem  players     In  Sweden 
she'll  be  considerably  feted,  inasmuch  as 
she  is  the  only  one  of  her  countryvvomen 
who  has  ever  registered  a  decided  suc- 
cess on  the  English  "speaking    stage  or 
screen,  and  while  abroad  she  will  make 
nvo    pictures    at    a    reputed    salary    oi 
$40,000  a  production. 

And   a   letter   received   from   piquant 
Tsuru  Aoki  informs  me  that  she  is  so- 
journing happily   in  her   native   Japan 
She  left  Los  Angeles  immediately  after 
completing  her  Universal  contract     Ses- 
sue  Hayakawa,  her  husband,  was  to  have 
accompanied  her,  but  a  new  contract  in- 
terfered and  Miss  Aoki  left,  accompanied 
only  by  her  maid.    She  stopped  off  for  a 
week  in  Honolulu,  enjoyed  its  attractions 
and  at  length  proceeded  to  Yokohama, 
her  home.     Her  uncle  there,  Iso  Kawi- 
kami,  is  a  theatrical  producer.    He  tried 
to   induce  Miss  Aoki  to   sign  with  his 
company,  but  she  declined,  inasmuch  as 
she  is  to  be  back  in  Hollywood  by  Octo- 
ber to  start  work  under  a  new,  fat  con- 

""^Pauline  Frederick  has  left  Goldwyn. 
She  has  definitely  broken  into  the  f^eldot 
the  independent  producers,_even  selecting 
her  own  stories  and  directing  herselt. 

There  is  a  move  on  foot  in  Hollywood 
to   start   a   tennis    club   exclusively    for 
motion  picture   celebrities.     It  is  bemg 
made  by  Shirley  Mason,  who  is  a  tennis 
Enthusiast  herself,  and  who  ^as  offered 
the  spacious  courts  at  her  new  home  to 
the  charter  members  of  the  organization. 
These   include   Viola   Dana    her   sister 
Bernard   Durning,    Ward   Crane     Ahce 
Lake   Anna  Q.  Nilsson,  Buster  Keaton, 
(who,  by  the  way,  is  Metro's  new  comedy 
stir)  Rex  Ingraham  and  Lottie  P'ckford. 
Sh    lev's  plan  is  eventually  to  have  the 
film  folk  erect  a  handsome  club-house  in 
Hollywood  and  restrict  its  gtiest  privi- 
leges exclusively  to  those  "m  the  profes- 
!ton''-sort  of  place,  you  k-now,  where 
the  film   famous  can  go  without  being 

''Tt r'emonition  that  her  former  fiance, 
..ho  l^Id  been  reported  Whed  .n  the  war 
would  return  to  her,  came  t^ue  recently 
when  Sylvia  Breamer  greeted  Lieut. 
F  C  Lewis,  of  the  army  intelligence 
•  corps  upon  his  arrival  in  Los  Angeles. 
Tlie  officer  was  gassed  in  action  and  be-

Priscilla  Dean  got  arrested  shortly 
after  the  new  no-auto-parking  ordinance 
went  into  effect  in  town.  Under  the  new 
law  it  seems  that  you  cant  park  your 
car  in  the  downtown  district  more  than 
two  minutes.  Priscilla  went  into  a  thea- 
ter to  see  herself  in  "The  Virgin  of 
Stamboul,"  and  when  she  went  to  start 
her  car  she  found  it  tagged.  No,  it 
wasn't  a  surprise  to  her,  inasmuch  as  it 
was  prearranged  by  her  press  agent  for 
a  front-page  newspaper  story. 

And  the  marriages !     Of  course,  now 
that  Mrs.  Mary  Preston  Dean,  mother 
of  the  sparkling  Priscilla,  has  announced 
it  formally,  the  marriage  of  Miss  Dean 
to  Wheeler  Oakman,  her  leading  man  in 
"The  Virgin  of  Stamboul,"  has  ceased  to 
be  an  item  of  local  gossip.    But  Pnscil  a 
isn't  by  any  means  the  only  film  star  to 
commit  matrimony.     Betty  Blythe  sud- 
denly issued  invitations  to  her  wedding 
to  Paul  Scardon,  who  has  been  brought 
West  by  Goldwyn  to  direct  the  Arnold 
Bennett   photoplay,   "Milestones.        Ihe 
wedding  was  solemnized  quietly  at  the 
Church  of  the  Angels  in  Garvanza,  with 
less  than  a  hundred  close  friends  of  the 
bride   and  groom  being  present.     Miss 
Blythe,  since  she  came  to  Los  Angeles  to 
assume  the  lead  in  "The  Silver  Horde, 
has  been  one  of  the  reignmg  ffvojites  at 
the  studios.     She  only  recently  finished 
the  lead  opposite  Lew  Cody  in    The  Mis- 
chief  Man"   and  at  present   writing  is 
starring  in  "Nomads  of  the  North,    an- 
other James  Oliver  Curwood  story,  for 
First  National  Exhibitors'  Circuit.     She 
has,  in  addition,  signed  a  contract  with 
Fox  to  play  the  title  role  in  a  spectacular 
production  of  "The  Queen  of   Sheba. 
Her  marriage,  she  asserts,  will  in  no  way 
tend   toward   her   retirement    from    the 

screen.  ...  .  „ . 

Another  marriage  which  surprised 
ever>'body  was  that  of  Jack  Perrin,  Uni- 
versal serial  star,  and  petite  Josephine 
Hill  for  some  time  a  comedy  star  wiUi 
the'"U"  and  later  the  little  wife  in 
Metro's   "Parlor,   Bedroom   and  Bath. 

Easterners  are  journeying  West  to 
work  before  the  camera.  Wyndhain 
Standing  and  his  wife  are  mcely  domi- 
ciled at  In  Ocean  Park  hotel  while  Ray- 
mond McKee  has  journeyedfrom  Nev^ 
York  to  again  play  0PP°s'te  Shirley 
Mason  at  Fox.  McKee  played  Shirley  s 
lead  several  years  ago  in  a  series  of  her 
early  pictures  at  Edison  and  the  meeting 
of  the  two  on  the  lot  was  something  like 
the  reunion  of  brother  and  sister. 

Monroe  Salisbury,  that  prime  emo- 
tional star,  who  severed  connections  some 
time  ago  with  Universal,  is  back  on  the 
screen  as  the  star  of  his  own  productions. 
His  company  is  working  at  Brunton  s  on 
r  spectacular  magazine  story  which 
Metro  wanted  to  produce,  bnt  didn  t  and 
Salisbury  has  stated  to  me  that  he  m- 
tends  giving  every  member  of  h  s  cast 
quite  as  much  opportunity  in  the  story  as 
he  himself  will  have.

"The    Perfect    Woman"    without   her   make-up 


What^s  a  Perfect  Woman? 

You  can  learn  how  to  be  perfect,  if  you  really  want  to  be. 
But  do  you?  You  should  see  the  Perfect  Woman  before 
you  decide. 

Constance  Talmadge  tried  it.  And  while  you  are  learning  all 
about  the  Perfect  Woman  from  her,  you'll  be  seeing  one  of 
the  most  fascinating  romances  ever  presented — all  about  how 
a  rich  little  poor  girl  captivated  the  heart  of  a  poor  little  rich 
boy — and  you'll  laugh  over  the  comedy  situations  with  this 
great  screen  comedienne  as  you  never  laughed  in  your 
life  before.

WANDA    HAWLEY 


Keep  Your  Complexion  Fresh  and  Youthful 


A  noted  New  York  beauty  expert  recently  made  the  remark  that 
"no  woman  will  ever  be  able  to  rub  beauty  into  her  skin  as  if  by 
magic."  Yet  there  are  many,  many  of  the  fair  sex  who  seem  to  dis- 
regard this  really  scientific  advice. 

To  keep  the  skin  fresh,  full  of  natural  color  and  beautifully  youth- 
ful, something  more  than  lotions  and  creams  must  be  applied.  The 
best  treatment  is  unquestionably  electric  massage,  for  this  gently  stirs 
up  the  circulation,  carries  off  the  wastes  and  invigorates  the  cells  in  a 
way  that  is  the  nearest  approach  to  Nature's  own  re-building  process. 

Stage  and  screen  women  have  long  since  recognized  the  true  merits

lessons.  We  found  that  it  was  unnecessary  to 
have  such  a  vast  number  of  traveling  salesmen 
and  so  many  expensive  branch  houses  through- 
out the  country.  We  were  able  to  discontinue 
many  other  superfluous  sales  methods. 

The  result  is  that  we  can  afford  to  sell  at  $57 
the  very  same  Oliver  formerly  priced  at  $100. 
A  clean  cash  saving  to  j^ou  of  $43! 


Only  10c  a  Day 

You  may  pay  for  the  Oliver  on  easy  terms — 
only  $3  a  month,  which  averages  about  10c  a 
day.  And  you  have  the  use  of  the  machine  while 
paying. 

Since  it  is  so  easy  to  own  a  brand  new  Oliver, 
why  should  anyone  think  of  renting  or  buying 
a  second-hnnd  machine? 

Our  Latest  and  Best  Model 

In  every  particular  this  Oliver  9  is  the  finest 
that  24  years  of  experience  can  produce.  A  bet- 
ter typewriter  is  impossible.  It  has  all  the  latest 
improvements.  Its  durability  and 
workmanship  have  given  it  world- 
wide fame.  It  has  a  standard  key- 
board, so  any  one  may  turn  to  it 
without  the  slightest  hesitancy. 
You  can't  buy  a  more  satisfactory 
typewriter  at  any  price.  But  we 
do  not  ask  you  to  take  our  word 
for  this.  We  believe  that  an 
ounce  of  PERFORMANCE 
beats  a  ton  of  promise.  That 
is  why  we  say,  "Try  an 
Oliver  5  days  free."

Shadowland 
for  August 

SHADOWLAND    is 

first  and  foremost  a  magazine 
of  beauty. 

Its  purpose  and  object  in 
the  world  is  to  bring  beauty  to 
every  household  which  it 
reaches.  It  believes  whole- 
heartedly in  the  development 
of  beauty,  and  the  cultivation 
of  all  art.  It  feels  that  there  is 
far  too  little  appreciation  of 
beauty  in  this  humdrum, 
prosaic  world. 

Therefore,  it  announces 
with  much  pleasure  that  the 
August  issue  is  the  best  yet. 
Louis  Raymond  Reid  reviews 
the  past  theatrical  season  in 
a  whimsical,  satirical  article 
which  will  delight  the  reader. 

There  is  a  playlet  of 
reincarnation  by  Katherine 
Metcalf  Roof;  "The  Reflec- 
tions of  a  Gentle  Cynic,"  by 
Lisa  Ysaye  Tarleau;  a  review 
of  current  fiction  by  the  always- 
welcome  Heywood  Broun, 
and  other  articles  by  Benjamin 
De  Casseres,  Frederick  James 
Smith,  and  others  too  numer- 
ous to  mention. 

You  will  remember  the 
literature ;  you  will  want  to 
frame  the  lovely  photographs; 
you  will  not,  we  assure  you, 
forget  the  August  issue  of 
SHADOWLAND  in  a 
hurry!

THE  GIRL  ON  THE  COVER 
(Painted    by     Leo     Siclke,    Jr.,    from     a     Still     Pholograph.) 
The  most  recent  astronomical  discovery  to  be  observed  on  the 
silversheet  is  the  blonde  Wanda  Hawley,  who  now  shines  with 
serene  starry  rays  on  the  Realart  banner. 

When  Miss  Hawley  first  came  to  New  York  it  was  to  sing  and 
play  accompaniments,  but,  not  long  ago  she  lost  her  voice  thru 

some  throat  trouble  and  turned  her  attention  to  the  screen.    Her  unusual  characteriza- 
tions in  Cecil  de  Mille's  "Old  Wives  for  New,"  and  "We  Cant  Have  Everything,"  as 

well  as  other  photoplays,  will  long  be  remembered  by  all  film-goers.

Stage  Plays  That  Are  Worth  While 

(Readers  in  distant  toums  will  do  well  to  preserve  this  list  for  reference  when  these  spoken 
plays  appear  m  their  vicinity.) 


Astor. — Fay  Bainter  in  "East  Is  West." 
TIk'  stor^'  of  a  quaint  little  Chinese  maid  who 
falls  in  love  with  a  young  American.  Racial 
barriers  seem  insurmountable,  hut  there  is  a 
happy  and  surprising  ending.  Has  all  the  in- 
gredients of  popular  drama. 

Belasco. — "The  Son-Daughter,"  with  Lenore 
Ulric.  George  Scarborough  and  David  Bclas- 
co's  highly  colored  Chinese  melodrama  with 
the  vivid  Miss  Ulric.  One  of  the  big  hits  of 
the  season. 

Booth. — "Not  So  Long  Ago."  A  fragile  and 
charming  little  comedy  by  a  newcomer,  Arthur 
Richman,  telling  a  story  of  picturesque  New 
York  in  the  early  seventies.  Genuinely  de- 
lightful. Finely  played  by  Eva  Le  Galhenne, 
Sidney  Blackmer  and  an  excellent  cast. 

Casi)w. — "Betty,  Be  Good."  Lively  summer 
musical  show  with  a  tuneful  score  by  Hugo 
Riesenfeld,  the  director  of  the  RivoH,  Rialto 
and  Criterion  screen  theaters.  Josephine 
Whittell  is  the  life  of  the  entertainment,  Frank 
Crumit  scores  and  VVorthington  Romaine 
makes   his   role   stand  out. 

Central. — "As  You  Were,"  with  Irene  Bor- 
doni  and  Sam  Bernard.  A  delightful  musical 
show  in  which  Miss  Bordoni  dazzles  as  the 
various  sirens  of  history.  Pleasant  music  and 
a  pleasant  chorus  lend  effective  aid. 

Centttry. — "Florodora."  The  much-heralded 
revival  of  the  widely  popular  musical  show  of 
some  twenty  years  ago.  Done  with  charm, 
distinction  and  humor.  Eleanor  Painter's  sing- 
ing stands  out  vividly  and  George  Hassell's 
humor  is  highly  diverting.  Then,  of  course, 
there  is  the  famous  "sextette."  Here  is  a 
revival  that  really  revives. 

Cohan's. — "The  Hottentot,"  with  WilHe  Col- 
lier. Typical  one-man  farce  with  the  inimit- 
able farceur.  Collier,  at  his  best.  Ann  Andrews 
lends  pleasant  assistance.     Full  of  laughs. 

Comedy. — "My  Lady  Friends."  Amusing  en- 
tertainment adapted  from  a  Continental  farce. 

Cort. — "Abraham  Lincoln."  You  should  see 
this  if  you  see  nothing  else  on  the  New  York 
stage.  John  Drinkwater's  play  is  a  noteworthy 
literary  and  dramatic  achievement,  for  he 
makes  the  Great  American  live  again.  "Abra- 
ham Lincoln"  cannot  fail  to  make  you  a  better 
American.  Moreover,  it  is  absorbing  as  a  play. 
Frank  McGlyn  is  a  brilliant  Lincoln. 

Ellinge. — "Martinique."  A  colorful  romantic 
tragedy  of  the  French  West  Indies,  revolving 
around  the  exotic  belles  affranchies — mulatto 
belles — of  a  certain  part  of  the  tropics,  the 
women  poetized  by  Lafcadio  Hearn.  The  cast 
includes  Josephine  Victor,  Vincent  Coleman, 
Arthur  Hohl  and  Emmett  Corrigan. 

Forty-Eighth  Street. — "The  Storm."  A  well- 
told  melodrama  of  the  lonely  Northwest  with 
a  remarkable  stage  effect  of  a  forest  fire. 
Helen  MacKellar  is  admirable  as  the  piquant 
French-Canadian  heroine. 

Garrick. — "Jane  Clegg."  St.  John  Ervine's 
powerful  drama,  presented  by  the  Theater 
tjuild,  has  been  running  here  all  season.  A 
drab  but  brilliant  tale  of  middle-class  English 
life.  Superbly  acted  by  the  best  ensemble  in 
New  York. 

Greenwich  Village.  —  "Foot-Loose."  with 
Emily  Stevens,  Norman  Trevor  and  0.  P. 
Hcggie.  Zoe  Akins'  well-done  modernization 
of  the  old  melodrama,  "Forget-Me-Not."  Tal- 
lulah  Bankhead  scores  in  a  difficult  role. 

Henry  Miller's  Theater — "The  Famous  Mrs. 
Fair."  Able  drama  dealing  with  the  feininine 
problem  of  a  career  or  a  home.  Skilfully 
written  by  James  Forbes,  with  unusual  playing 
by  Blanche  Bates,  Henry  Miller  and  Margalo 
Gilmore. 

Hudson. — "Clarence,"  Booth  Tarkington's 
delightful  comedy,  built  about  the  way  a  re- 
turned soldier  reunited  a  disturbed  but  typic- 
ally American  household.  Superb  perform- 
ances by  .Mfred  Lunt.  Glenn  Hunter  and  Helen 
Hayes  give  the  comedy  a  fine  verve. 


Knickerbocker.  —  "Shavings."  Pleasant  if 
conventional  dramatization  of  Joseph  C.  Lin- 
coln's Cape  Cod  story.  Harry  Beresford  gives 
a  finely  drawn  characterization. 

Little  Theater. — "Beyond  the  Horizon,"  by 
Eugene  O'Neill.  This  powerful  drama  was 
produced  at  a  series  of  special  matinees  and 
proved  so  successful  that  it  won  a  theater  al! 
its  own.  A  gripping  study  of  a  human  being 
crushed  by  environment,  told  with  compelling 
force.  One  of  the  biggest  native  dramas  of 
years.  Richard  Bennett  heads  a  remarkable 
cast. 

Lyric. — "What's  In  a  Name?"  The  most 
beautiful  musical  entertainment,  with  the  pos- 
sible exception  of  the  Ziegfeld  revues,  yet  seen 
on  Broadway.  Colorful  new  art  stage  designs, 
remarkable  use  of  lights  and  gorgeous  cos- 
tumes lift  it  into  the  realm  of  the  exquisite. 
Intelligently  written  and  put  together,  too. 

A'cw  Amsterdam  Roof. — Ziegfeld  9  o'clock 
and  midnight  revues.  Colorful  entertainments 
unlike  anything  to  be  found  anywhere  else. 
Here,  too,  are  the  most  beautiful  girls  in  all 
New  York. 

A'ora  Bayes  Theater. — "Lassie."  A  charm- 
ing and  pleasantly  tuneful  little  musical  com- 
edy of  Scotland  and  London  in  the  picturesque 
sixties.  Based  upon  Catherine  Chisholm  Cush- 
ing's  "Kitty  MacKay."  Tessa  Kosta  sings 
pleasantly  and  Mollie  Pearson  and  Roland  Bot- 
tomley  are  prominent.  Dorothy  Dickson  and 
Carl  Plyson  contribute  some  delightful  dance 
interludes. 

Playhottse. — "The  Wonderful  Thing."  A 
human  play  built  around  a  poverty-stricken  but 
blue-blooded  English  family  into  which  Jeanne 
Eagels  comes  as  a  wealthy  heiress  and  wife  of 
the  eldest  son.     Pleasant  if  conventional. 

Shiibcrt  Theater. — "Scandal."  Cosmo  Ham- 
ilton's daring  drama  which  Constance  Tal- 
madge  played  on  the  screen.  Francine  Larri- 
more  and  Charles  Cherry  have  the  leading 
roles  in  the  excellent  footlight  production. 


ON  TOUR  THIS  AND  NEXT  SEASON 

"The  Purple  Mask."  with  Leo  Ditrichstein. 
A  stirring,  romantic  melodrama  of  the  days  of 
the  First  Consulate  in  France;  tense,  colorful 
and  highly  interesting.  One  of  the  best  eve- 
ning's entertainments  of  the  season.  Mr.  Dit- 
richstein is  delightful  as  the  royalist  brigand, 
the  Purple  Mask;  Brandon  Tynan  is  admirable 
as  the  republican  police  agent,  Brisquet ;  Lily 
Cahill  is  a  charming  heroine,  and  Boots  Woos- 
ter  makes  her  bit  of  a  peasant  girl  stand  out. 

"The  Sign  on  the  Door." — A  very  good  melo- 
drama which  boasts  many  instances  of  the  un- 
expected— and  Marjorie  Rambeau  in  highly 
emotional  scenes. 

"Look  Who's  Here,"  with  Cecil  Lean.  A 
passable  musical  entertainment  that  entertains 
when  Mr.  Lean  and  Cleo  Mayfield  hold  the 
center  of  the  stage. 

"Smilin'  Through,"  with  Jane  Cov/1,  An  odd, 
but  effective  drama  which  purports  to  show 
how  those  who  have  gone  before  influence  and 
watch  over  our  lives.  Miss  Cowl  is  exceed- 
ingly good  as  a  piquant  Irish  girl  and  also  as 
a  spirit  maid  whose  death  occurred  fifty  years 
before.  "Smilin'  Through"  will  evoke  your 
smiles  and  tears. 

"The  Oiiija  Board."  Crane  Wilbur's  thriller 
built  around  spiritism.  Real  spooks  invade  a 
fake  seance,  solve  a  murder  mystery  and  pro- 
vide plenty  of  surprises.  Guaranteed  to  keep 
you  on  edge.  Excellent  cast  includes  George 
Gaul,  Howard  Lang  and  Edward  Ellis. 

"Mamma's  Affair." — Rachel  Butler's  admir- 
ably written  comedy — a  study  of  that  deadly 
human  species,  the  hypochondriac  who  fancies 
herself  suffering  from  all  sorts  of  ills.  Done 
with  distinction  and  fine  discernment.  Ida  St. 
Leon  scores  and  important  members  of  the 
cast  are  :  Effie  Shannon,  Robert  Edeson,  Kath- 
erine  Kaelred  and  George  Le  Guerre.

Stage  Plays  That  Are  Worth  While

"Afy  Golden  Girl." — A  passable  musical  en- 
tertainment with  a  score  by  Victor  Herbert.  A

of  the  show.

amusing  comedy  by  Salisbury  Field.  Admir-

presentation  of  a  drama  based  upon  Pierre 
Louys'  e.xotic  novel  of  ancient  Alexandria.

the  screen  star,  returns  to  the  stage  in  the  prin- 
cipal role  of  the  Galilean  courtesan,  Chrysis, 
and  scores.  McKay  Morris  is  admirable  in  the 
principal  male  role.

THE  NEWS  MEN 

By  Walter  E.  Mair 

We  turn  a  cool,  collected  crank 
Where  foemen  flee  the  furious  Yank; 
We  scale  the  Himalayan  peaks  to  snap  a  bunch 
of  flowers. 
Or,  perching  on  a  biplane's  tail, 
We  photograph  the  Airline  Mail ; 
Tlien   nonchalantly  spiral  down  to  "pan"   old 
Gotham's  towers. 

It  may  be  up  in  Saskatoon 
We  point  our  guns  to  shoot  the  moon. 
Or  in  some  Panamanian  cove  we  coax  the  gentle 
shark. 
We  leap  athwart  some  skipper's  neck 
And  focus  on  his  vessel's  wreck. 
Then  right-about  to  catch  a  glimpse  of  spooners 
in  the  park. 

We  plumb  the  deep  and  dreary  mines 
And  risk  extensive  trespass  fines 
To    spot    a    locomotive    spinning   sparks    from 
every  wheel. 
Perhaps  we  hie  to  gloomy  glade 
Where  lurk  mosquitos  in  the  shade. 
To  get  artistic  studies  of  the  Great  Brazilian 
Eel! 

We  frame  a  strip  of  Mandalay, 
Then  take  a  little  fly-away 
To  where  at  sunrise  ululates  the  Turkish  muez- 
zin. 
Fingers  in  ears,  we  say  amen ! 
Then  hasten  forth  to  crank  again 
.\  crew  of  Senegambians  getting  full  o'  nigger- 
gin. 

Nay,  friend,  no  gang  for  arigel  choirs 
Are  we:  ti'C  shine  around  big  fires! 
And  yet  I  have  a  notion,  should  you  mount  the 
golden  stair. 
You'd  find  a  nosy  movie  guy 
Evading  Peter's  watchful  eye. 
In  hopes  that  yet  some  Newport  dame  might 
find  admittance  there.

The  Popular  Popularity  Contest

women  with  a  large  majority  of  votes. 
Wallace  Reid  heads  the  men  with  a  not- 
so-large  majority.  Others  are  coming

make  any  predictions  concerning  the  next

OUR  OCCUPATION 
By  Wright  Field 

Home  is  a  curious  place  these  days ; 

We  onij^  meet  and  speak  at  meals. 
Or  when  we  go  en  masse  to  see 

Some  thrilling  thing  in  seven  reels. 
Pa  at  the  oftice,  Ma  at  home. 

Forget  their  work  or  let  it  go. 
Absorbed  in  the  great  national  game 

Of  "writing  a  scenario!" 

Sister  no  longer  pouts  and  flirts 

And  puts  on  airs  to  tantalize 
The  >'onth  who  used  to  waste  good  ink 

In  writing  sonnets  to  her  eyes ; 
I'll  say  she  doesn't — for  siie  sits 

In  solemn  silence  with  her  beau, 
Both  bent  above  a  lengthy  script; 

They're  writing  a  scenario  ! 

Brother,  up  in  the  barn-loft  hid. 

All    smeared   with    ink   and    stern   of   brow. 
Hurls  out  long  adjectives  and  spurts 

Of  romance  to  the  frightened  cow. 
He's  trying  out  his  fav'rite  scenes  : 

All  het  up  with  creative  glow. 
For  Doug,  perhaps,  or  else  for  Bill, 

He's  writing  a  scenario! 

'Tis  not  the  Bible  brings  that  glow 

To  Grandma's  cheek  that  once  was  pale; 
She's  reading  now  a  book  about 

"The  Way  to  Write  a  Movie  Tale." 
Grandpa,  his  checkers  pushed  aside. 

Devotes  himself  to  row  on  row 
Of  stilted,  carefully  chosen  words — 

He's  writing  a  scenario  ! 

The  chauffeur  now  forgets  the  gas 

And  leaves  the  radiator  dry; 
Cook  puts  wash-powder  in  the  bread 

And  salcratus  in  the  pie. 
They've  small  regard  for  present  jobs 

With  small  fortunes  beck'ning — no. 
They  scorn  to  think  of  humbler  things 

Than  writing  a  scenario  ! 

And  so  they  go  about  all  day 
With  lofty  brow  and  solemn  mien. 

Eacli  figuring  how  his  name  will  look 
When  thrown  upon  the  silver  screen. 

But  shucks!    Why  fool  with  rhymes  like  this? 

For  what  to  me  is  rhythmic  flow? 
■"Fade-outs"  and  "irises"  for  me, 

I'm  writing  a  scenario !

The  Woman 
They  Stoned 

Two  years  before  she  had  run  away  to  join 
a  traveling  circus. 

Now  with  an  angry  crowd  at  her  bacit — 
driven  out  of  her  house — she  beat  upon  her 
father's  door,  calling  for  help.  The  old  man — 
part  of  his  narrow  and  bitter  village — he  too 
cursed  her — and  then  the  greater  forces  that 
we  cannot  understand — put  forth  a  giant 
relentless  hand.  Father — and  daughter  — 
heartless  crowd — all  were — but  why  tell  a  story 
better  told  by 


O.  HENRY 


And  as  fascinating  as  this,  so 
are  all  his  two  hundred  and  seventy- 
four  stories.  Each  and  every  story 
in  the  set  of  books  is  new  and 
different — each  with  a  new  be- 
ginning—  a  new  plot  —  a  new 
ending — and  so  human — so  full  of 
fun — of  pathos  —  of  laughter  — 
of  tears. 


He  finds  romance  everywhere — 
around  the  corner — in  the  department 
store — in  the  shop — in  the  gutter — in 
the  street  car.  He  laughs  when  he 
preaches,  and  preaches  when  he 
laughs.  He  sees  what  no  one  else  sees 
— but  he  sees  what  we  have  all  sub- 
consciously seen  and  makes  us  wonder 
why  we  never  thought  of  it  before.

it  until  the  cloth  is  "fluffy"  with  the  soft 
white  lather.  Rub  this  lathered  cloth 
gently  over  your  skin  until  the  pores  are 
thoroughly  cleansed.  Then  rinse  first

When  she  was  a  little  girl  in  school,  Anna  Q.  Nilsson  often  "cut"  class  to 
see  her  film  favorites.  Now  she  has  gone  back  to  prove  to  her  girlhood  friends 
in  Sweden  that  sometimes  dreams  do  come  true.

ANN  MAY 

To  be  a  leading  lady  in  the  celluloid  world  at  the  age  of  nineteen  is  some- 
thing to  wonder  at;  but  to  be  the  leading  lady  for  Charles  Ray  convinces  one 
that  Ann  May  has  walked  off  with  the  golden  wheel  of  good  fortune  intact.

ELLIOTT  DEXTER 

One  of  the  most  popular  of  the  screen  stars,  threatened  with  the  appella- 
tion of  "Matinee  Idol,"  the  career  of  Elliott  Dexter  was  broken  into  by  a 
severe  illness  a  year  ago.  Now  that  he  has  quite  recovered  and  returned  to 
the  screen,  his  faithful  admirers  eagerly  await  the  release  of  Cecil  de  MUIe's 
"Something  to  Think  About,"  in  which  Mr.  Dexter  stars. 


The  Letters  of  Mary 


1r  isn't  every  wcll-knuwn,  yokieii-curled  motion  i)ictuix'  star  who  can  lay 
claim   to  any  jjreat   literary   distinction.     Of  course,   there   is  no   set 
reason  why  an  actress  of  remarkable  histrionic  ability  shouldn't  pos- 
sess the  great  and  glorious  gift  of  literature — but  just  the  same,  it  isn't 
•being  done — not  often,  anyway. 

However,  be  that  as  it  may,  Mary  Miles  Minter,  the  eighteen-year-old 
screen  wonder,  is  the  golden  (haired)  e.\cei>tion  in  this  case.  Not  content 
with  winning  the  jilaudits  of  an  admiring  public  who  watched  her  dra- 
matic powers  with  awe.  at  the  hoary  age  of  eight,  Miss  Minter,  while 
touring  the  country  in  "The  LittJest  Rebel,"  convinced  her  fond  parents, 
and  those  of  her  friends  who  were  privileged  to  enjoy  her  intimate 
secrets,  that  she  imssessed  unusual  literary  ability.  Her  poems  and  her 
correspondence  with  her  fond  mother  have  been  carefully  preserved, 
evidently  owing  to  unusual  foresight, 

Ik'ing  a  very  imaginative  young  lady,  her  thoughts  naturally  were  e.\- 
prcssed  thru  the  trusty  form  of  poetry,  and  judging  from  the  prolific 
results,  she  never  labored  under  the  handicaji  suffered  by  the  immortal 
Tennyson — "I  w'ould  that  my  tongue  could  utter  the  thoughts  that  arise 
in  me,"  etc.  .She  was  observant  and  quickly  formed  her  own  o])inions  on 
the  various  important  phases  of  existence.  Most  of  these  o|)inions  were 
so  terrific  in  their  static. dignity  that  few,  if  any,  dared  question  them. 

.She  spent  most  of  her  time  traveling  -from  one  place  to  another — tour- 
ing in  "The  Littlest  Rebel" — and  gathering  vivid  impressions  of  railway 
stations,  dusty  coaches,  bad  hotels  and  her  theatrical  companions.  All 
thru  this  period  she  had  as  an  inseparable  companion  a  tiny  dog  whose 
name  was  "Tad,"  and  as  he  is  very  often  mentioned  in  her  writings,  we 
gather  that  probably  all  her  view])oints  of  life  were  jioured  into  his  inno- 
cent ears  before  they  were  written.  She  kept  up  a  daily  corre- 
spondence with  her  mother,  and  it  is  in  this  correspondence  that  we 
have  discovered'  another  Dai.sy  Ash  ford. 

.She  was  evidently  a  very  versatile  young  per.son.    While  she  was 
undergoing  all  the  hardships  of  theatrical  life,  (about  which  you  will 
hear  more  later),  she  decided  that  one  name  was  entirely  insufficient 
to  e.\i)ress  her  individuality.    So  she  assumed  three,  changing  them  when- 
ever the  fancy  suited  her,  (not  to  mention  the  numerous  pet  names  with 

which  various  members 
of  the  com])any  and  her 
friends  labeled  her).  Her 
real  name  was  Juliet 
Shelby  —  she  decided 
u])on  the  more  unusual 
one  of  Virginia  Houston 
Cary,  and  eventually, 
growing  somewhat 
weary  of  this,  she  took 
unto  herself  the  more 
cu])honious  one  of  Mary 


We  are  greatly  elated  over  our 
newest  literary  find,  Mary  Miles 
Minter.  At  the  age  of  eight  she 
displayed  an  understanding  of 
the  problems  of  life,  equalled 
only  by  the  knowledge  revealed 
in  "The  Young  Visiters"— that 
book  of  revelations  of  the  past 
year.  Above,  a  recent  portrait 
of  Miss  Minter,  and,  below,  as 
she  looked  at  the  age  of  six

erful influence  which  the  writ-

have  upon  future  literature.  We 
are  (|uite  certain  that  her  pro-

that  it  was  fortunate  for  all  con-

the  arrival  of  "'Hie  ^'oung  Visit-

to  be  saying,  ".\fter  all.  who  was

small,  innocent-looking  volume 
dropped  like  a  bomb  u|)on  the 
conservative  head  of  literature, 
and.  upsetting  all  jiast  dignity 
and  tradition,  started  a  hilarious 
controversy  between  two  nations 
which  almost  bordered  U])on  the 
slapstick. 

It  became  the  chief  topic  of 
conversation  in  the  subways,  on 
the  street,  at  dinner,  in  the 
clubs  and  even  in  the  sacred 
l)rccincls  of  the  church.  Be- 
tween prayers,  there  could  be 
heard  the  familiar  stage  whis- 
per, "Dont  you  i-eally  think  that 
Barrie  wrote  'The  S'oung  Vis-

introduced  to  a  perfect  stranger

rudely  interrupt  you  by  eagerly 
in(|uiring.  "F  .say.  have  you  read 
'The  Young  Visiters'?"  .\nd  so 
it  went,  developing  into  an  in-

Louise  Huff  is  a  bonbon 
bit  of  femininity  who  just 
isn't.  She  has  very  decided 
views  upon  life  in  gen-

Of  course,  there  is  no  tangible

in  reincarnation.

all  our  (|uestions.

Do  not  draw  an 
inaccurate  picture 
of  Miss  Huff.  She 
is  not  in  the  least 
eccentric.  A  very 
human  little  person 
she  i.s,  with  a  very 
evenly  balanced 
view  of  life.  Per- 
haps you  conceive 
her  as  fUiftily  femi- 
nine, as  ribboned 
and  becurled.  Ac- 
lually  she  has  a 
sweet  and  fragile 
sort  of  sincerity. 

Miss  Huff  can  and 
does  use  her  mind. 
She  has  very  de- 
cided views  upon 
things.  These  are 
not  the  quickly  ac- 
(1  u i r e d  ideas  of 
others,  but  come  of 
actual  experience. 
For  Miss  Huff- 
youthful  as  .she  ap- 
jiears  and  is — has 
had  her  share  of 
dreaming  and  re- 
dreaming.  But  from 
it  all  she  has  built 
anew.      Her   little

girl.  Mary  Louise,  has  grown  to  interesting  childhood 
Miss  Huff  hut  recently  married  again. 

Now,  marriages  are  things  not  to  be  mentioned  in  inter- 
views with  young  and  fluffy  stars.  Rut  Miss  Huff's  marriage 
is  so  vitally  a  part  of  her,  of  her  development  and  her  theory 
of  life,  that  we  cannot  neatly  side-.step  its  importance. 

Miss  Huff's  views  upon  marriage  are  brief  and  to  the  point. 
"There  is  nothing  more  dangerous  than  the  early  marriage," 
she  maintains.  "What  can  be  expected  of  a  partnership  hastily 
entered  into  when  the  co-partners  lack  all  perspective  of  life, 
all  knowledge  of  what  it  may  bring  them  and  all  breadth  of 
judgment?    One  develops,  the  other  does  not  and — divorce." 

Miss  Huff  admitted  .she  believes  in  love.  But  she  would  not 
define  it.    "Unless  it  is  the  power  to  want  another  for  his  im- 

(Nineteen) 


perfections  as  well  as  his  per- 
fections," she  ventured.  "A  per- 
fect marriage?"  she  repeated.  "I 
doubt  its  existence.  Successful 
marriage  is  a  matter  of  marital 
adjustments  and  concessions. 
Possibly  of  relinquished  dreams 
and  hoi)es." 

We  talked  of  the  screen. 
Here,  too.  Miss  Huff  is  frank  in 
her  beliefs.  "Brains  are  not  an 
essential,"  she  theorizes.  "You 
know  filmdom  from  the  inside  and 
{Continued  on 


"The  screen  frequently 
creates  a  personality  that 
may  actually  not  exist," 
says  Miss  Huff.  "Some 
times  this  is  accidental, 
sometimes  deliberate.  The 
films'  have  created  a  cer- 
tain sugary  personality  for 
me,  giving  me  the  mental 
status  of  Booth  Tarking-

A  Little 
Bit  of  Bohemia 


Tiii.Ki-;  are  people  wliu  have  been  made  believers 
in  the  "iron  hand  of  Fate"  by  their  misfortunes 
They   look   at   life   from   dull,   tired  eyes,  con 
vinced   that,    for   them,   life   can   hold    nothing  but 
failure,  regardless  of  how  hard  they  try. 

And  then,  again,  there  are  |)eople,  fatalists,  too, 
who  so  firmly  believe  that  the  future  holds  nothing 
but  success  for  them  that  they  absolutely  refuse  to 
take  their  misfortunes  seriously.  To  this  class  belong 
the  true  Bohemians. 

They  trust  the  future  so  implicitly  that  they  spend 
every  jienny  they  get  as  fast  as  they  get  it.     Some- 
times  they  cant   s])end  it   fast  enough 
to  suit  themselves,  so  they  give  it  away. 
They  dontgivadarn  I 
They  live  for  today,  joyously  permit- 
ting  the   past   and   the   futirre  to   stay 
where  the  past  and  the  future  belong. 
It  is  with  just  such  a  group  as  this  that 
Teddy  Sampson  sjR-nds  her  time.     She 
is    a    ISohemian    from    liohemiaville — 
which  doesn't  always  mean  Greenwich 
Village !    (^n  the  contrary,  in  this  case 
it  means  a  bungalow  court  on  Wilcox 
.\venue  in  Hollywood,  and  all  around

most  conventional  of  lawns  and  flowers  and  mod-

It  is  only  in  the  arrangement  of  the  houses  that

tliey  form  :i  Irinn^fle  witli  the  apex  on  ;i  little  liill.  It  is  in  tliis 
bungalow,  the  hijjhest  of  tlic  bunch,  that  Teddy  Sampson  and 
her  chum,  Rosemary  Theby,  keep  house  together.  And  such 
a  jolly  house !  Always  the  center  of  a  laughing,  kidding  fjroup 
of  very  vounj,'  people  who  are  famous  all  over  the  world  and 
are  confidently  lookini,'  forward  to  becoming  )nore  famous. 

In  the  beyinniiiK,  this  was  sjoinj;  to  he  a  nice,  (|uiet  interview 
alone  with  Teddy  Sampson  in  her  little  home  .  .  .  and  it  was 
(|uiet  .  .  .  very  much  more  ((uiet  than  usual.  Teddy  Sampson 
said  so.  Only  Viola  Dana  dropped  in  and  Lieut.  Ornier  Lock- 
lear.  tlie  famous  younj;  aviator  who  jumps  from  one  plane  to 
another  in  midair  and  does  other  daredevil  stunts  that  make 
those  vvatchiu);  him  .ijasp  and  exclaim,  "He's  as  crazy  as  they 
make  'em!"  and  .\nna  (J.  Nilsson  and  Jack  Dillon,  the  director, 
and  Mrs.  Dillon.  And  when  it  was  all  over.  I  had  a  lonj;  talk 
with  Rosemary  Tlieby,  who  drove  nie  to  the  Christy  studio  in 
her  car.  ,\s  for  the  bohemianism,  that  was  only  su(;j;ested  by 
a  tone  of  lif;ht-hearled  irresponsibility. 

T  arrived  at  a  quarter  of  one,  to  tind  Teddy  .Sampson  <|uite 
by  herself,  which  is  really  a  matter  for  record.  I';U  Dow- 
lin(j,  of  the  Christy  studio,  who  had  also  been  asked  for 
lunch,  had  'phoned  that  he  couldn't  come  and  Miss  Theby 
had  gone  to  the  (iarson  studio  on  the  trail  of  a  particularly 
good  part.  .So  we  inade  ourselves  comfortable  and,  I  sup- 
pose because  the  day  was  particularly  beautiful,  talked 
about  Christmas,  which  had  been  ])articularly  beautiful,  too. 

"I  dont  think  that  I  have  ever,  in  all  my  life,  spent  a 
more  perfect  day  than  I   spent  last  Christmas,"  Teddy 
Sampson  said.     "It  was  perfect  in  every  way!       I  didn't 
get  a  single  unwanted,  present.     This"^exhibiting  her  jeweled 
cigaret-hotder — "from    Lottie   Pick  ford.     .\nd  a   vanity   case 
from    Rosemary   Theby.   and  a   dozen   pairs   of   gloves    from 
N'iola  Dana  and  a  diamond-studded  wrist-watch  and  a  neck- 
lace of  real  pearls  .   .    .  the  last,  especially,  something  I  have 
wanted  all  my  life."     (There  were  other  presents  she  showed 
me  too  numerous  to  mention.) 

".\nd  now,"  she  went  on,  "I  am  going  to  have  a  month's 
vacation  to  spend  with  my  iieojjle  in  New  York." 

Teddy  Sani]>son  is  a  native  of  New  York;  otie  of  a  family 
of  eight,  all  living.  Her  four  brothers  made  enviable  recoi'ds 
in  the  artny.  The  youngest.  Revere  .Sanl])son,  entered  the 
French  I'oreign  Legion  in  1914  and  has  returned  with  the 
Croix  dc  (iiierrc  and  two  palm-leaves. 

"Yes,  I  ci'rtainly  am  proud  of  my  brothers!"  she  said. 

.She  was  the  only  member  of  her  family  to  choose  the 
theater  as  a  iirofessiou.  Her  first  appearance  was  in  vaude- 
ville with  (ius  I'.dwards  when  she  was  twelve  years  old.  .She 
met  with  no  opposition  from  her  peo|)le. 

"My  father  did  not  believe  in  ])arents  trying  to  live  their 
children's  lives  for  them."  she  said.  "He  always  let  us  do 
very  much  as  we  wanted  to.  only  helping  where  he  could." 
It  was  D,  \V,  (irilfitb  who  introfluced  her  to  the  screen. 

",\nd  it  was  Mr.  (irif'fith  who  introduced  me  to 
my  husband,"  she  remarked,  lea<ling  the  way  to  the 
dining-room.  (.She  had  decided  that  we  had  bet- 
ter not  wait  for  Miss  Theby  any  longer.)  It  was 
while  we  were  enjoying  a  pineapple  salad  that  she 
told  me  the  story  of  the  romance.  She  is,  you  know 
Mrs.  ("ord  Sterling. 

"I  was  at  the  .Mexandria  with  Mr.  Griffith  and  a 
party,"  she  said,  "when  I'ord  Sterling  came  in.     He

It  would,  but  it  didn't.

Even  in  this  age  when  thrills 
are  as  plentiful  as  blackber-

Georges  Carpentier  stepped 
on  American  soil,  a  shout  of 
welcome  went  up  that  was 
heard  from  one  end  of  the 
country  to  the  other.  Be-

the  ring.  When  the  boy  was  thirteen,

Pretty  good  for  an  Irishman.  Yes? — 
decided  it  was  time  Georges  started  to 
work  in  the  mines,  which  were  the  chief 
source  of  the  Lens  industry. 

"  'How  much  will  your  son  earn?'  Des- 
Camps  inquired. 

"  'Two  francs  a  day,'  replied  pere. 
"  'I  will  pay  it,'  volunteered  DesCamps, 
'if  you  will  give  me  complete  control  of 
the  boy.' 

"  'Agreed,'  said  pere  and  mere,  so 
Georges  entered  with  enthusiasm  into

Camps felt  confident  he  would  suc-

"Of  course,  he  won?" 
"Surest    thing   you    know.      He 
pulled  down  two  hundred  and  fifty

about  him?"  I  queried  the  Robertson- 
Cole  publicity  departirent  between  fran- 
tic efforts  to  establish  'phone  connection 
with  the  Carpentier  apartment  at  the 
Biltmore.  I  figured  that  if  I  had  a 
handy  vest-pocket  edition  of  the  fighter's 
life,  I  might  be  able  to  understand  his 
answers  to  my  questions. 

"About    Georges?"    the    department 
asked. 

"Have  it  your  own  way,'"  I  answered. 

"He's   some  boy,   that   Frenchman!"   the   department   chorused, 
looking  kid,  too.     Wait  until  you  see  the  women  fall  for  him." 

"More  history  and  less  prophecy,"  I  suggested,  politely. 

"He  ~vas  born— say,  who  took  the  matches  off  my  desk  ?    Why  dont

The 

Low- Brow 

Playwright 

Speaks 


BAYARD  Veiller.  the 
playwright  who  now 
heads  the  Metro  scena- 
rio staff,  is  an  out-and-out 
materialist.  He  has  no  "il- 
lusions," as  he  terms  them, 
regarding  art  as  applied  to 
the  drama  or  motion  pic- 
tures. Indeed,  he  declares 
that  the  function  of  the 
stage  and  screen  is  to  en- 
tertain and  not  to  educate. 
But  he  qualifies  all  his 
statements  by  describing 
himself  frankly  as  a  "low- 
brow." 

Mr.  Veiller  interestingly 
compares  playwriting  and 
photoplaywriting.  "The 
screen  offers  a  far  wider 
scope,  but  its  technique  is 
more  tricky.  Thisisbecause 
there  is  no  set  way  of 
doing  things,  no  real  tech- 
nique of  tradition.  In 
writing  for  the  footlights 
you  know  just  what  you 
can  and  cannot  do.  Seem- 
ingly there  is  nothing  you 
cannot  do  in  the  films. 

"Whether   you   write 
books,   plays   or   scenarios, 
you    must    understand    the 
same   foundation,  which  is 
arousing  and  holding  your- 
audience's    interest.      That 
is  why  e.xpe- 
rienced    writ- 
ers or  drama- 
tists must  nec- 
essarily make 
the   best    sce- 
narists. They 
know  the  ba- 
.■-ic  principles. 


Bayard  Veiller  believes 
the  day  of  the  screen 
author  is  dawning.  No 
longer  will  he  be 
shackled  by  the  star 
and  the  director.  But* 
he  does  not  think  the 
thought  picture  will 
ever  come  in  America. 
"Here,"  he  says,  "the 
theater  is  a  thing  of 
amusement  and  not  of 
education.  But,  of 
course,  I  am  a  very 
low-brow  person.  To 
me  the  ideal  motion 
picture  play  is  one  pos- 
sessing a  measure  of 
beauty  and  speed  with 
a  consistently  told 
story

FREDERICK 
JAMES 
SMITH 


"Today  the  technique  of  the 
screen  is  more  and  more  aping 
the  stage.  John  Emerson  and 
Anita  Loos  continue  to  increase 
the  amount  of  dialog  in  their 
stories  for  Constance  Talmadge 
via  subtitles.  This  is  necessary 
to  present  light  comedy  on  the 
screen.  The  pictures  must  lit- 
erally illustrate  the  text. 

"Cecil  de  Mille  uses  a  vast 
amount  of  titles  to  tell  his  sex 
themes.  It  is  the  only  way  to 
express  thought  —  and  these 
dramas  are  discussions  of 
marital  relations.  You  cannot 
debate  in  pantomime.  Griffith 
has  always  tended  towa'ds  the 
poetic  caption." 
We  asked  Mr.  Veiller  regard- 
ing future  devel- 
opments. "The 
technique  trend 
t  o  m  o  r  row?  I 
dont  know  enough 
about  pictures  to 
tell.  I  was  really 
grabbed  by  my 
t  r  o  u  sers  and 
thrown  into  the 
game  without 
having  seen  more 
than  twelve  pic- 
tures in  my  life.

Miss  Hobbs 

By   FAITH   SERVICE 

Told  in  story  form  from  the  Wanda  Hawley-Realart  Photoplay 


MISS  Hobbs  had  bobbed  hair  and  was  a  vegetarian.     She 
had  theories,   fads  and  a  passionate  philosophy,  which 
dealt,  principally,  wjth  the  total  eclipse  of  the  male  sex 
in,  at  least,  the  Hobbsian  sphere.     "Man,"  she  was  wont  to 
say  to  her  two,  friends  first,  discii)les  later,  "man  is  a  deter- 
rent.   We  must,  for  our  better  evolution,  dispense  with  man." 

She  would  then  relate  horrible  incidents  in  which  man  had 
served  as  instrunients  of  some  sort  of  torture.    To  the  initiate 
the  incidents  would  have  savored  of  having  been  learned  by 
rote,  but  the  satellites  would  not  so  have  abjured  Miss  Hobbs,  ■ 
■whom  they  held  in  reverence  and  esteem. 

Miss  Hobbs  was,  indeed,  estimable. 

The  opulent  legacy  left  her  by  an  opulent  aunt  may,  and 
may   not,  have  had  something  to  do   with   her   estiniability. 
Who  can  say  ?     Too,  it  may 
have  Conduced  to  the  further- 
ance,  the   successful    further- 
ance, of  her  theories. 

It  takes  a  legacy  (and  an 
opulent  one)  to  have  acreage 
on  which  to  disport  one's  un- 
clad limbs,  far  from  the  sad- 
dening crowd,  in  the  dewy 
hours  of  the  dawning.  It 
takes  a  legacy  to  pluck  hot- 
house grapes  from  under  sun- 
glinted  glass  and  crush  them 
beneath  disdainful  lips  the 
while  reviling  the  wa)'S  of 
man  upon  said  dewy  grass.   It 


takes  a  very  opulent  legacy  indeed  to  lure  a  wife  away  from 
a  husband,  a  sweetheart  from  her  love.  Yet  all  these  things 
Miss  Hobbs  did — and  more. 

She  had  an  estate.  She  called  it,  probably,  New  Thought, 
or  something  grave  and  purposeful.  It  was  her  boast  that  she 
never  did  a  thi>ig  without  a  purpose.  She  would  disdain  to. 
The  estate  was  a  very  beautiful  one.  and  had  a  little  lake,  and 
a  sudden  brook,  and  a  bit  of  idyllic  woodland  and  all  the 
requirements  for  a  faddist  and  two  satellites  to  try  out  ex- 
pensive theories. 

She  had  two  friends.  One  was  called  Beulah  Hackett,  a 
timid  soul  who  had  been  married  some  tliree  years  to  a 
"brute."  Miss  Hobbs  thus  indignantly  named  him.  That 
he    deserved   the   apjiellation    I    leave   to   you.      He   abjured 

bobbed  hair — in  his  wife.  He 
sneered  at  Greenwich  N'illage, 
free  verse,  the  new  poets  and 
all  things  pertaining  and  ap- 
pertaining. He  made  rather 
conspicuous  fun  of  Miss  Hobbs, 
her  horn-rinuued  spectacles, 
her  breakfasts  of  graham 
crackers  and  well  water ;  all, 
indeed,  save  her  legacy.  He 
told  her,  supreme  insult,  that 
she  might  be  "attractive  to 
some  man  if  she'd  cut  the 
comedy."  For  that  last  Miss 
Hobbs  never  forgave  the  lesser 
creature.     As  a   sort  of  neat

retaliation  she  was  later  able  to  persuade  Ileulah  not  to  waste 
her  precious,  purposeful  years  with  the  "brute,"  but  to  come 
to  \ew  Thought  w-ith  her,  there  to  live  repletely  in  the  state 
of  beautiful,  natural  self-sufHciency,  which  is  every  thinkinij 
woman's  birthright  and  heritage.  Miss  Hobbs  had  conviction. 
She  was  able  to  spread  it.  She  caught  Beulah  just  after  the 
"brute"  had  spoken  his  mind  on  a  woman  smoking  Russian 
cigarets  in  the  company  of  other  "unsexed  beings"  and  the 
rest  was  easy — Beulah  packed  her  bag  and  baggage,  left  a  note 
on  the  pincushion  and  betook  herself  to  the  acreage  of  Miss 
Hobbs',  there  to  discard  domesticity,  clothing,  and  reaction- 
ism  at  one,  and  almost,  the  same  time. 

Shortly  thereafter,  Miss  Hobbs  converted  the  second  satel- 
lite. This  was  Millicent,  a  frail  thing,  and  very  much  in  love 
with  one  George  Jessop,  with  whom  she  contemplated  niutri- 
mony,  Millicent  was  one  with  a  plastic  mind.  She  listened 
and  learned  from  everyone  with  whom  she  came  into  even 
momentary  contact.  Invariably,  when  in  Rome,  she  did  as 
the  Romans  did. 

Miss  Hobbs  was  aware  of  this.  She  had  always  had  a  lik- 
ing for  Millicent,  who  had  a  mind  of  'sorts  when  away  from 


the  sickening  proximity  of  George  Jessop.  Now  and  then 
she  had  hinted'  to  Millicent  that  she  was  committing  a  sort  of 
personal  hara-kiri  in  entering  into  the  modern  slavery  of 
marriage.  "A  bondage,  my  dear,"  Miss  Hobbs  would  say, 
thru  smoke  rings ;  "a  bondage  that  irks  as  all  bondage  does. 
Very  well  indeed  for  the  hni  poUoi,  very  well  indeed.  But 
for  thinking  women,  for  self-sufficient  women  .  .  .  never. 
A  pity !  So  far  no  good."  Then  Miss  Hobbs  conceived  the 
notion  of  inviting  Millicent  for  a  night  at  N'ew  Thought.  Of 
course  she  wouldn't  have  said  so,  in  so  many  words,  but  she 
had  a  sneaking  notion  that  it  would  please  Millicent's  soul 
to  display  her  really  comely  limbs  in  the  dew  at  the  dawning 
hour.  >iillicent  would  hardly  be  able  to  resist  that. 
\or  was  she. 

She  spent  the  night  at   Xew  Thought,  during  the  waning 
hours  of  which  Miss  Hobbs  and  the  thoroly  converted  Beulah 
reviled  man  and  the  fetters,  extolled  the  new  woman,  scoffed 
at   marriage,  groaned  over  the  yoke.     In  the  morning  they 
consumed  hothouse  grapes  clad  in  a  few  yards  of  gauze  and 
much   dew.     Millicent   was  enchanted.     She   had  never,  she 
knew,  looked  so  charming  or  felt  so  charming.     To  be  sure, 
she    wished    George    Jessop    could 
have  been  witness  of  her  triumphal 
limbs,  but  then,  she  had  heard  so 
much    of    self-sufficiency   that    she 
mocked  at  herself  for  a  poor  thing 
at  the  very  thought.    No  doubt  she 
would  get  used  to  the  absence  of 
George  Jessop  and,  like  Narcissus, 
be  content  with  self- worship  in  the 
mirror  of  the  sudden  brook.     She 
said  something  of  the -kind  to  Miss 
Hobbs,     who    heartily     concurred. 
Said  Miss  Hobbs :  "The  last  need 
of   woman   for  her  lesser  comple- 
ment, man,  will  be  dispensed  with 
when   woman   comes   to   recognize 
the  fact  that  she  can  Worship  her 
own  beauty  much  more  adequately 
than  can  man.     Why  not?"     Miss 
Hobbs  always  ended  her  introspec- 
tive   philosophizings    with  ,  a    tense 
"Why  not  ?''  to  which  there  seemed 
to    be    no    other   answer    than    an 
affirmative.    It  was 
so  in  this  case.    Af- 
ter all,  what  more 
could   George  Jes- 
sop   say    of    Milli- 
cent than  Millicent, 
with  the  aid  of  the 
brook  and  no  cloth- 
ing,   could    say   of 
herself.     Then,  too,  self- 
praise   could   be   so   emi- 
nently    satisfactory     and 
unfailing.     This  was  the  ulti- 
mate argument  in  favor  of  a 
manless  state. 
Millicent  col- 
lapsed and  al- 
lowed  Miss 
Hobbs      to 
send     George 
Jessop     word 
that  Millicent 
had     decided 
upon    a    celi- 
bate     career. 
It   is  another 
story    to    tell.

Shortly  thereaf-

CLASSIC 


Jessop.  That  is.  the  immediate  receipt.  The  upshot 
was  an  indignation  meeting  between  George  Jessop  and 
the  deposed  "brute" — he  who  had  dared  greatly  enough 
to  revile  the  sacred  matter  of  bobbed  hair  and  platonic 
friendship  and  bare-foot  dancing. 

"She's  stolen  my  wife,"  said  the  brute. 

"She's  stolen  my  sweetheart,"-  said  George  J. 

"Danm  her!"  they  unisoned. 

Then,  after  a  pause.  "What'll  we  do?" 

Much  frantic  smoke,  then  the  brute.  "What  about  Wolflf 
Kingsearl ;'' 

George  J.  livened  up.  "Wolff  always  knows  what  to  do 
about  women,"  he  agreed,  with  some  hope. 

".Still,  Miss  Hobbs  ..." 

Yes,  they  agreed,  Miss  Hobbs  was  different.  Danined  if 
she  w-as  a  woman  at  all.  Damned  if  they  knew  jvlwt  she  was. 
They'd  never  seen  her — but  they  could  imagine.  Angular 
female,  with  horned  glasses  and  a  huge  stride.  Also,  a  sten- 
torian voice,  no  doubt.  Oh,  they  could  see  Miss  Hobbs.  Her 
trouble,  they  knew,  was  not  contempt  of  man,  but  lack  of 
man.  A  little  kiss,  a  moonlight  stroll  or  two  .  .  .  Miss  Hobbs 
would  not  be  Miss  Hobbs  .    .    . 

.\ppealed  to,  \\'olff  Kingsearl  agreed  that  a  man  was 
doubtless  the  remedy  to  apply  to  Miss  Hobbs.  He  had  never, 
he  said,  known  it  to  fail.  Still,  where  to  find  a  man  was  the 
question.  The  bereft  husband,  bearing  no  possible  resem- 
blance, in  his  meek  forlornness,  to  a  brute,  and  the  eager  lover, 
joined  forces  and  bet  Wolff  that  no  man,  however  versed  in 
the  fairer  sex,  could  even  so  much  as  kiss  Miss  Hobbs  after 
a  month's  effort.  They  thought  to  apply  pin-pricks  and  spurs 
to  the  hitherto  unassailed  prowess  of  Wolff.  The  prowess 
remained  unassailed.  Wolff  admitted  the  probable  efficacy  of 
the  prescribed  treatment,  but  hinted  at  a  svelte  blonde  tempo- 
rarily occupying  the  field  of  his  activities  .  .  .  was  awfully 
sorry  .  .  .  hoped  they  succeed  .  .  .  but  Miss  Hobbs  .  .  . 
rather  acidulous,  wasn't  it  .   .   .  rather  frigid  zone  .   .   .  ? 

Two  days  later  Miss  Hobbs  found  it  necessary  to  call  at 

fl'iftiittt-nine) 


It  takes  a  legacy  (and  an 
opulent  one)  to  lure  a 
wife  away  from  a  hus- 
band, a  iweetheart  from 
her  lover.  Yet  all  this 
Miss  Hobbs  did  .  .  .  and 
more  on  her  estate  which 
she  probably  called  New 
Thought 


the  home  of  the  brute  for 
Beulah's  more  personal  belong- 
ings. In  keeping  with  his 
habitual  tactics  the  creature  had 
dared  to  retain  several  of  her 
most  prized  possessions.  Heulah 
was  timid  and  knew  the  potency 
of  the  brute.  Miss  Hobbs  vol- 
unteered. 
Wolff  Kingsearl  happened  to  be  at  the  house  awaiting  the 
lorn  return  of  the  brute.  Miss  Hobbs,  seeing  him,  told  him, 
haughtily,  that  she  was  the  maid  of  Miss  Hobbs,  but  Wolff, 
being  versed  in  feminine  tactics,  knew  that  he  was  gazing  upon 
Miss  Hobbs.  Knew  it,  and  longed  to  gaze  indefinitely.  Knew 
it,  and  felt,  suddenly,  that  he  could  not  have  his  fill  of  gazing. 
His  heart  beat  to  suffocation  and  his  palms  were  moist.  Miss 
Hobbs  ...  H  he  had  not  felt  unaccountably  serious  he  could 
have  shrieked  .  .  .  He'd  let  Miss  Hobbs  steal  his  wife  any 
day.  he  thought,  and  half  a  dozen  sweethearts  .  .  .  Even  the 
svelte  blonde  faded  away  from  the  active  field  and  it  was, 
again,  and  this  time,  rather  definitely,  without  a  tenant. 

I'^or,  be  it  said.  Miss  Hobbs  was  rounded  and  fair.  Her 
hair  was  a  baby  gold  and  escaped  "in  tendrils,"  as  the  novelists 
would  say.  Her  eyes  were  blue.  May-time  blue,  and  implored 
— at  times.    Her  mouth — but  I  cannot  say  what  I  mean  about 

her  mouth.     She  had  a  voice — oh,  you  know 

Wild  thoughts,  like  wild  geese,  wove  patterns  in  Wolff 
Kingsearl's  mind. 

What  to  do?  Here  he  had  gone  and  fallen  in  love! 
Really  in  love.  And  with  Miss  Hobbs,  to  whom  man  was  not. 
What  to  do'  Caveman  tactics  she  would  resent,  repudiate. 
iThey  would  disgust  her  more  effete  mentality.  Her  philoso- 
phy, seeing  clearly,  would  know  them  for  what  they  were  and 
cast  them  forth  into  a  sea  of  oblivion.  At  which  thought 
Wolff  Kingsearl  shuddered.  Sentimentality  she  would  laugh 
at.  He  thought  he  could  hear  that  laughter — like  the  tinkling- 
of  thin  ice.     IVhat  to  do?     Where  to  appeal  ?     In  the  next

La  Bella  Sevilla 


SiGitTSKr.RS  from  all  over  the  globe  knew  her — the  Spanish 
dancer  at  the  San  Diego  Exposition.  Daughter  of  one  of 
the  oldest  and  most  distinguished  Spanish  families  resi- 
dent In  California,  Beatrice  Dominguez,  the  girl  whose  eyes 
sparkled  like  Burgundy,  whose  graceful  interpretation  of  the 
folk-songs  charmed  thousands,  has  come  to  stay  in  motion 
pictures. 

But  it  was  not  without  a  struggle.  Her  relatives  wished 
Beatrice  to  become  a  doctor  or  lawyer ;  there  had  been  no 
player-folk  or  dancers  of  professional  tendencies  in  a  long 
line  of  ancestry.  Frank  Dominguez,  nationally  known  as  a 
criminal  lawyer  of  Los  Angeles,  and  whom  the  girl  calls 
quaintly  "my  second  uncle,"  since  he  is  grand-uncle  to  her. 
would  gladly  have  seen  her  enter  the  law. 

Dancing  was  in  the  blood  of  her  race.  Mrs.  Dommguez, 
born  in  old  Sevilla,  never  had  a  dancing  lesson  in  her  life — she 
simply  danced — danced  her  way  into  the  heart  of  a  lad  in  the 
old  country  who  brought  her  to  California  and  the  life  of  the 
great  ranches  which  covered  thousands  of  acres.  Beatrice 
learnt  to  dance  from  her  mother,  and  from  her,  too,  she  in- 
herited the  priceless  mantillas,  combs,  iewelry  and  embroidered 
shawls  which  she  wears. 

"You  see,"  said  Miss  Dominguez,  "Spanish  dances  are  all 
symbolical.  One  cannot  buy  the  music  for  them  ;  it  is  given  from 
one  to  another.  One  has  visitors — they  dance,  sing,  play  the 
guitar — I  say  to  them,  'Oh,  how  beautiful  is  that  melody,  how 
I  like  it!'  They  say  to  me,  'You  may  copy  the  music  if  you 
wish.'  In  that  way,  I  have  about  thirty  dances.  My  mother 
arranges  the  dances — alwavs  she  has  danced !  Myself,  I  was 
educated  in  Sacred  Heart  Convent  for  five  years — my  three 
older  sisters  who  have  married  well  and  who  have  never 
worked,"  (this  with  an  air  of  conscious  pride),  "spent  most 
of  their  lives  there.     My  younger  sister  has  been  in  a  few

pictures,    but    she    does 

not  like  the  life.    I  would 

not    have    her    work    at 

anything  else — and  since 

she  is  company   for  my 

mother,   she   does   not 

work  at  all. 
''We  were  born  in  San 

Bernardino,   where   it   is 

much    more    Spanish 

than  in  Los  Angeles  now. 

I  dislike  the  great,  bus- 
tling   crowds    on    the 

streets    here,    so    unlike 

the  old  town  of  Los  An- 
geles, or  the  Spanish  sec- 
tion   of    San    Diego,    as 

my    mother    describes 

them," 

"How  did  you  happen 

to  take  the  name  of  'La 

Bella    Sevilla'?"      You 

should  hear  Miss  Do- 

minguez   pronounce  that 

"La  Raya  Sayveeah"  in 

faultless  Castilian.     She 

apologized  for  her  pro- 
nunciation,  since   so 

much  Spanish  is  spoken 

in  her  home  that  she  has 

quite  as  much  accent  as 

a    newly    arrived    Sevil- 

lan  seiiorita. 

"It    was    to     do    my 

mother's    birthplace 

honor,"    she    replied  ' 

quickly.      "The    name 

proved  a  detriment  when 

I  used  it  for  registration 

at    the    studios.      I    did 

not    realize    that    at    the 

time.      Always — after    I 

left  San  Diego,  and  had 

danced    at    the    Mission 

Inn    in    Riverside  —  I 

■wished  to  act.  I  called 
at  some  studios  and  did 
not  say  that  I  was  the 
premiere  dancer  of  Bal- 
boa Park.  I  simply  reg- 
istered as  'La  Bella  Se- 
villa.' Mr.  O.  H.  Davis, 
who  was  a  vice-president 
of  the  Exposition,  was 
appointed  general  man- 
ager of  Universal.  One  day,  when  I  called  there,  he  suggested 
that  I  use  my  own  name,  because  directors  were  rather  afraid 
to  employ  a  dancer  because  they  reasoned  that  she  could  not 

.act.    j  was  baptized  'Beatriz,'  but  at  the  studios  they  have 
turned  that  into  the  American  'Beatrice.'  " 

Senorita  Dominguer  is  true  to  racial  type— social  but  aloof, 
proud  yet  gracious,  always  distinguished  by  that  graceful  dig- 
nity which  one  associates  with  her  race. 

Miss  Dominguez  has  just  finished  sittings — or  should  one 
say  ''standings^'? — for  pictures  depicting  prehistoric  cave- 
dwellers'  habits.  Since  her  work  precluded  leaving  the  Angel 
City,  Beatrice  posed  at  the  studio.  Later,  thru  double  photog- 
raphy, Zion  Canyon,  Utah,  backgi-ounds  were  printed  in.  Hun- 
dreds of  photographs  had  been  submitted  showing  models  who 
wished  to  have  the  honor  of  a  showing  for  the  New  York  Art

"TY/OUI.D  you  believe  that  he  used  to 

\^  play  dope  fiends  and  heavy  vil- 
lains?" asked  Mrs. 
Bryant  Washburn,  nod- 
ding at  the  film  star  whose 
rompings  with  Sonny,  had 
sent  us  into  gales  of 
laughter. 

"Never!"  I  exclaimed, 
emphatically.  "He 
couldn't,  not  with  his 
merry  smiles." 

"That  was  before  he 
was  married,  so  perhaps 
he  didn't  have  so  many 
nor — such  radiant  ones," 
she  replied,  mischievously. 

"We  did  have  some 
funny  old  stills  of  me  in 
those  days,"  began  Mr. 
Washburn,  having  depos- 
ited his  happy  son  on  the 
front  veranda.  "Once," 
he  added,  with  a  sly  wink 
at  his  wife,  "I  had  a  nice, 
untidy  study  where  I 
could  lay  my  hands  on 
everything  I  wanted^ " 

"Until  one  day  I  was 
seized  with  a  desperate 
cleaning  streak,"  she  in- 
terrupted, "and  since  then 
neither  of  us  has  been 
able  to  find  a  thing.  Now, 


His  Happy  Role 


just  to  show  you  what  a  dutiful  wife  I  am,  I'll  try 
to  find  those  pictures." 

For  a  moment  after  she  left  us,  Mr.  Washburn  and 
I  smiled  at  each  other  as  we  listened  to  the  click  of 
the  little  French  heels  flying  down  the  wide  hall, 
keeping  time  with  the  gay,  lilting  tune  she  hummed.  , 
It  doesn't  take  very  long  to  discover  the  two  big 
interests  in  Bryant  Washburn's  life — his  home  and 
his  work.  When  he  is  not  at  the  Lasky  studio, 
making  those  merry  farcical  comedies  which  we  all  so 
much  enjoy,  he  is  at  his  home  a  few  blocks  distant, 
with  his  pretty  wife,  the  adorable  four-year-old 
Sonny,  whose  real  name  is  Franklin  Bryant  Wash- 
burn IV,  and  the  new  baby,  n,amed  for  Mr.  Wash- 
burn's great-uncle,  Dwight  Ludlow  Moody,  the 
famous  evangelist. 

"You  can  imagine,  with  the  religious  strain  so 
prominent  in  the  family,  that  I  received  little  encour- 
agement in  my  desire  for  a  stage  career,"  said  Mr. 
Washburn.  "After  leaving  school,  you  know,  I  grew 
up  in  Chicago.  I  dubbed  around  at  a  lot  of  things, 
even  sold  insurance,  but  my  heart  wasn't  in  the  work. 
One  day  my  chance  came.    I  put  on  a  dress  suit  and 

became  head 
usher  in  a  lo- 
cal theater, 
and  I  felt  that 
I  was  on  my 
way, 

'  Not  long 
after  this  I 
met  George 
Fawcett,  and 
he  asked  me 
if  I  would

play,  'The

Ganton.'  Would  I?  IVelU  You  should  have 
seen  me  prancing  onto  the  stage  all  dressed  up  in 
sport  flannels,  carrying  a  tennis  racket — at  last  an 
actor !  The  thrills  this  brought  me  meant  much 
more  than  the  dollar  I  received  for  each  per- 
formance." 

At  the  end  of  the  season,  Mr.  Washburn  joined 
a  stock  company  and  later  went  to  New  York. 
After  a  few  ups  and  downs,  mostly  the  latter,  and 
being  broke,  he  signed  with  Essanay  to  make  pic- 
tures, more  as  a  means  of  getting  back  to  Chicago 
than  as  a  step  upward  in  his  career.  This  was 
ten  years  ago,  and  he  has  been  in  motion  pictures 
ever  since — .seven  years  with  Essanay,  a  short 
period  with  Pathe  and  the  remainder  of  the  time 
as  a  Paramount-Artcraft  star. 

Mrs.  Washburn  came  flitting  back  to  the  draw- 
ing-room with  the  stills,  and  for  half  an  hour  we 
laughed  over  the  pictures  of  Bryant,  slim  and 
terribly  serious,  in  fearful  make-up  and  grotesque 
costumes. 

"The  first  time  I  ever  saw  him,"  began  Mrs. 
Washburn,  with  her  characteristic  impetuosity, 
"was  at  a  neighborhood  movie,  and  I  kept  saying 
to  a  girl  friend,  'Can  he  be  a  real  Italian?'  Not 
lone  after  this  I  went  over  to  Essanay  as  an  'extra' 
ana  Bryant 
wa?   the  first 

0  n  e  I  saw. 
Of  course,  I 
recognized 
him,  and  how 

1  feasted  my 
eyes,  for  he 
looked  good 
to  me,  even  if 
he  did  wear  a 
green  coat 
and  an  awful 
tie.  I  shall 
never  forget 
that  tie." 
And  she 
sighed  tragic- 
ally. 

"Do  you 
remember 
how  skinny 
you  were? 
No  double

torted.  "I  was  mak- 
ing forty-  five  a 
week,"  he  went  on, 
cheerfully,  "when 
we  met,  and  with  an 
unexpected  raise  of 
ten  dollars  we  de- 
cided we  could  be 
married.  Every  one 
predicted  this  would 
hopelessly  ruin  my 
career  and  I  was  urged  to  at  least  keep  it  quiet. 
This  didn't  suit  me.  I  wanted  the  world  to 
know  I  had  won  Mabel  and  I  was  determined'

IRKXK  Rich  lifted  herself  out  of  the 
surf  long  enough  to  shout,  "Isn't  it 

great!  Wish  I  could  go  on  swim- 
ming forever  and  ever.  Here  is  Vifhere 
one  forgets  all  worry  and  trouble,"  and, 
with  a  gay  laugh,  she  plunged  into  a 
huge  breaker  and  was  lost  in  the  mass 
of  green-and-white  spray. 

An  hour  earlier,  Irene  had  said, 
"It's  between  pictures  and  I  have  a 
whole  day  to  myself.  Let's  go  down 
to  the  ocean  for  a  swim." 

"Let's,"  I  responded,  "and  we  can 
interview  en  route." 

Quickly  preparing  a  little  picnic 
lunch,  and  gathering  together  our 
bathing-suits,  we  were  soon  motoring 
westward  in  her  comfy  sedan. 

It  was  a  gorgeous  morning.  Blue 
sky,  bluer  ocean,  with  its  dazzling 
white-crested  waves,  the  exhilarating 
salt  air,  all  madp  one  glad  just  to  be 
alive.

in  the  role  of  a 
water  nymph, 
furnished  a  little 
exhibition  of 
marvelous  skill 
as  .she  swam  far 
out  into  the 
ocean  with  firm, 
clean  strokes.

"It  was  while  living  in  Honolulu,  however,  that  I 
became  so  expert.  Why,  I  almost  lived  in  the  water. 
It  is  wonderful  over  there.  Duke  Kahanamoku,  the 
Hawaiian  who  has  won  so  many  honors  iji  the  Stock- 
holm Olympic  games,  taught  me  to  ride  the  surf 
boards.  That  is  absolutely  the  most  fascinating  thing 
in  the  world,  with  its  breathless  sensations,  for  you 
seem  to  go  a  mile  a  minute ;  of  course,  you  do  go  as 
fast  as  the  waves,  and,  oh,  it  is  thrilling !"

Miss  Rich  has  been  steadily  advancing  in  motion  pictures,  and  has  recently 
won  distinct  applause  for  her  splendid  work  as  leading  woman  in  Will 
Rogers'  late  successes.  She  is  pretty,  of  that  sweet,  wholesome  feminine 
type  that  is  so  appealing.  She  is  slender,  graceful  and  magnetic,  with  an 
active  mind  in  close  touch  with  the  vital  currents  of  the  life  of  today. 

Resting  on  the  sand  in  the  warm  sunshine,  she  told  me  of  the  steps  that 
have  marked  the  way,  so  far,  in  her  career. 

"I  have  always  acted,  mentally — do  you  know  what  I  mean?    Whenever 
I  saw  a  play  I  found  myself  submerged  in  the  role  I  particularly  admired, 
following  it  thru  all  the  scenes,  so  you  see,  I  am  now  only  making  a  reality  ' 
of  my  dream-acting."    And  Miss  Rich  laughed  lightly.    Too  bad  the  camera 
cannot  catch  that  silvery  laugh. 

"Several  years  ago,"  she 
continued,  "I  became  ac- 
quainted with  Blanche 
Ring,  and  I  told  her  of  my 
ambition  to  get  into  motion 
pictures.     She's  a  darling,  ^_~_^

me  in  'Stella  Maris'  as  a 
nurse.    Really,  it  was  just

atmosphere,   for  I  could  see 
myself    only    between    blinks 
when  the  picture  was  shown. 
I  was  happy,  tho,  for  it  was  a 
beginning.   That  was  two  years 
ago  last  November,  so  I  feel  I 
have  made  some  progress." 
there  followed  a  series  of  pic- 
tures in  which  Irene  played  wee  bits,  sometimes  very  wee 
indeed.    Then,  one  fine  day.  it  really  happened — she  made 
the  jump  from  extra  to  leading  woman.    Dustin  Famum 
was  the  star,  and  that  in  itself  was  good  luck,  for  think 
of  being  even  the  screen  beloved  of  "Dusty"  and  the 
heroine  of  his  thrilling  Western  dramas. 

After  this,  things  moved  rapidly ;  she  played  opposite 
to  Frank  Keenan  in  "Todd  of  His  Times,"  ancfmade 
several  pictures  with  William  Famum,  Earle  Williams, 
Gladys  Brockwell  and  Louise  Glaum. 

"All  this  was  such  splendid  experience,"  went  on  Miss 
Rich,  "and  after  playing  in  a  couple  of  GoWwyn  films,  I 
signed  with  them  for  two  years,  and  it  is  a  very  happy 
association.  I  made  three  plays  with  Will  Rogers  as  his 
leading  woman — 'Water,  Water.  Everywhere,'  'The 
Strange  Boarder'  and  'Jes"  Call  Me  Jim.'  I  was  sorry 
that  I  didn't  fit  the  tyf>e  for  his  new  picture,  for  he  is  so 
wonderful  to  work  with.  They  dont  make  men  like  him 
very  often.  All  his  pictures  are  clean  and  wholesome — 
he  positively  couldn't  play  any  other.  In  'Jes'  Call  Me 
Jim'  there  is  a  beautiful  theme,  and  Mr.  Rogers  is  just 
him.self.  I  hope  there  will  be  others  like  it.  His  wife  is 
just  as  sincere  and  real  as  he  and  they  are  about  the  hap- 
piest couple  I  have  ever  seen.  There  are  four  cunning

"Yes  or  No" 


Told  in  story  form  from  the  Norma  Talmadge- 
First  National  Photoplay 

By 

OLGA  SHAW 


FATI-:  works  so  obscurely,  so  irrelevantly,  say 
some  of  the  modernistic  philosophies,  that  it 
makes  little,  if  any,  difference  which  way  one 
lakes  whoi)  one  conies  to  a  turning  of  the  road ;  the 
destinations  being  identically  the  same.  Now  and 
then,  there  are  individual  cases  disproving — for  in- 
stance, I  am  minded  of  Margaret  \'ane  and  Minnie 
Berry.  Analogous,  poles  apart,  one  when  life 
pressed  upon  her  saying  yes,  the  other  saying  no. 

.Margaret  was  a  type,  a  rather  commonplace  type, 
if  one  might  term  a  person  with  the  outer  seeming 
of  an  exotic  commonplace.  She  was  much  like  an 
extravagant  rose,  fragrant  and  beautiful,  but  to  be 
had  in  great  varieties.  The  essence  of  her  being 
was  possessed  of  similarity.  Her  life  was  made  up. 
principally,  of  money  and  what  money  can  buy;  of 
balls  and  teas  and  men  and  the  admiration  of  men ; 
of  indifferent,  anemic  novels,  sex  plays  and  vaguely 
picturesque  charities.  She  never  took  oflf  her  glove 
when  it  became  necessary  for  her  to  shake  hands 
with  life.  She  didn't  know  anything  about  contact. 
She  didn't  dream,  either,  because  dreaming  is,  of 
all  things,  the  most  real.  .She  just  frittered,  and  if 
the  frittering  palled  upon  her,  as  it  necessarily  and 
frequently  did,  she  took  it  out  on  ttie  person  nearest 
.at  hand,  petulantly  imagining  that  it  was  the  fault 
of  that  person.  The  person  happened  to  be  Donald 
\'ane,  her  husband. 

With  the  perfect  inconsequentiality  of  the 
human  emotion.  Donald  Vane  loved  the  hothouse 
rose  he  had  married.  He  loved  her  beauty  and  he 
did  dream  and  he  injected  his  own  dreams  into  her, 
subcutaneously,  and  they  sufficed  him.  He  thought 
it  quite  reasonable  that  she  should  sleep  half  the 
day,  dance  half  the  night,  flirt  the  few  waking  hours 
.she  spent,  adorn  her  sumptuous  person  in  the  ultra- 
fruit  of  the  mills  and  looms  and  charge  it  up  to  him. 
To  make  the  payment  of  the  charges  possible  he 
toiled  night  and  day,  and  when  it  became  no  longer 
possible  for  him  to  .supply  these  things  with  the  toil 
of  his  brain  and  brawn  he  supplied  then)  with  his 
nerve  forces.  In  the  course  of  time  his  physician 
told  him  that  he  had  gone  past  a  limit.  "You're  on 
thin  ice,"  he  said  :  "you'd  better  tell  your  wife  and 
ask  her  to  curtail  and  both  of  you  live  more 
simply  .   .   .  the  pace  that  kills,  my  lad  ..." 

Donald  N'ane  shook  his  head.  His  physician 
noted,  with  a  fatherly  pang,  that  there  was  grey 
showing  in  the  bright  gold.  "I  dont  want  to  worry 
her,"  he  said;  "I  csl^ccially  dont  want  to  worry  her. 
.She — she  has  such  a  good  time.  It's  what  I  work 
for." 

Donald  worked  harder  than  ever.  Margaret  frit- 
tered harder  than  ever.  .\nd  when  she  had  time  to 
think  about  it,  she  lamented  the  fact  that  she  was  a 
"neglected    wife."    that 


her  husband  gave  his  . 
all  to  his  work,  and 
took  a  certain  doleful 
pleasure  in  the  evi- 
dently greater  appreci- 
ation of  other  men.

Even  when  he  died 
she  did  not  suspect 
that  his  sensibilities 
had  killed  him. 

She  thought  it  was 
failure  of  the  heart. 
That  was,  his  phy- 
sician decided,  the 
kindest  thing  to  call 
it.  He  thought  of

ball.  It  was  to  be  a  bril- 
liant affair,  with  the  young 
and  popular  Vanes  at 
something  of  their  ascen- 
dency. At  the  very  last 
moment  Donald  telephoned 
that  he  would  be  delayed 
at  the  office  —  imperative 
work — and  could  not  be 
present. 

Margaret  had  been  white 
with  fury.  She  had  told 
him  over  the  wire,  the  most 
venomous  things  she  could 
think  of.  He  ha'd,  she  said, 
disgraced  her,  humiliated 
her,  made  her  a  laughing- 
stock. An  affair  like  the 
ball,  and  her  husband  miss- 
ing —  "at  the  office"  — 
Himsy,  absurd  excuse ! 

Donald  had  been  patient, 
exasperatingly  patient.  The 
fact  of  the  matter  was,  he 
had  had  that  day  another 
warning  from  his  physician

to  avoid  excitement  at  any 
cost,  that  if  he  wished 
to  continue  treading  the 
mill  of  his  domestic  ex- 
penditures he  must  be 
apart,  undisturbed, 
without  noise  or  com- 
iilotion.  That  the  ball 
might  be  painlessly  paid 
for.  as  it  were,  Donald 
remained  away. 

Putting  up  the  re- 
ceiver he  had  thought,  a 
little  wearily,  that  the 
excitement  of  Marga- 
ret's injustice  waS  al- 
most worse  than  the 
excitement  of  the  ball 
would  have  been   .    .    . 

It  was  on  the  night 
of  the  ball  that  the  af- 
fair with  Paul  Derreck 
began  in  good  earnest. 
Paul  was  an  old  suitor 
of  Margaret's.  He  was, 
incidentally,  an  old 
hand  at  an  old  game. 
When  Margaret,  sore  to 
fury  over  Donald's  im- 
agined neglect  of  her, 
poured  forth  her  woes 
she  found  Derreck  an 
almost  tender  listener. 
His  sympathy  was  as 
suave  as  oil.  as  gentle 
as  silk,  as  unassuming 
as  a  mother's.  He  said 
that  he  "understood." 
He  spoke  of  a  rare 
spirit.  He  spoke  of 
loneliness,  of  lives  like 
ships,  passing  one  an- 
other, unbailed  .   .  .  the 

pity  of  it  .  .  .he  spoke  of  contacts,  of  might-have-beens  .  .  . 
he  called  Margaret  "little  girl"  and  "beautiful  child."  He  left 
her  with  a  craving  for  more  of  his  talk,  for  his  reassurances. 

What  she  craved  she  had  made  a  habit  of  getting.  She  saw 
more  and  more  of  Paul  Derreck.  The  small,  warm  comforting 
of  his  understanding  kindled  and  grew  into  a  tlame.  And  so, 
when  he  asked  her  to  give  up  everything  and  come  away  with 
him,  to  another  land,  another  life,  she  had  no  stamina  of 
refusal. 

She  said  "Yes." 

The  same  night  she  told  Donald  of  her  decision.  ''I  cant 
stand  your  neglect,"  she  explained ;  "you  neither  appreciate 
me  nor  understand  me.     I  am  going  away  with  Paul." 

That  same  night,  also,  Donald  \'ane  died. 

Minnie  Berry  was  also  a  commonplace  type,  at  least  to  the 
outward  eye.  She  was  a  sort  of  ragged  sailor  by  the  way- 
side, getting  along  with  the  sun  when  it  shone,  with  the  rain 
when  it  fell,  with  the 'winds  when  they  blew — and  they  cus- 
tomarily did.  She  gave  little  fragrance,  and  the  beauty  she 
had  been  dowered  with  rarely  shone  forth  from  suds  and 
steam  and  the  fumes  of  dreary  cooking.  Yet  within  there  was 
an  essential  aroma. 

Ever  since  she  could  remember,  life  had  been  more  or  less 
the  same  for  Minnie.  Her  mother  had  had  many  children 
and,  with  each  one,  increasingly  bad  health.  The  burdens 
had  thereupon  fallen  to  Minnie,  and  she,  being  Minnie,  had 
accepted  them.  After  awhile  some  of  them  married,  some  got 
jobs,  her  mother  died,  her  father  lived  on  in  a  sort  of  proto- 
plasmic .state,  and  then  Jack  P>erry  had  come  along.  There 
had  been  a  brief  period  of  illusion,  spent,  mostly,  in  the  movies 
or  at  Coney  Island.     Then  marriage.     A  further  and  briefer

was    too    much    work    for   very 
much     dreaming.      Which     was 

well,  for,  unlike  Margaret  \'ane,  the  chances  were  great  that 
Minnie  Berry  would  have  dreamed.  But  now  and  then,  in 
brief,  snatched  intervals,  her  youth  and  the  prerogatives  of 
her  youth  would  raise  their  stunted  heads  and  put  forth  faint, 
feeble  cries  for  the  sustenance  of  sun  and  air  and  recognition. 
Color  and  poesy  and  promise  had  been  so  dwarfed,  so  brief. 

It  was,  therefore,  not  impossible  to  understand  the  tempta- 
tion that  Ted  Leach  began  to  possess  for  the  work-worn 
woman,  who  was  still  hardly  more  than  a  girl. 

Ted  was  a  chauffeur  who  boarded  with  the  Berrys,  with 
the  record  of  a  more  or  less  reckless  life.  Attractive,  partic- 
ularly to  Minnie,  chained  to  her  endless  toil,  her  endless  wor- 
ries, her  endless  disappointments  and  setbacks.  First,  it  was 
just  like  a  breath  of  salt  air,  that  and  nothing  more,  to  have 
Ted  come  in  with  his  laughter,  his  hint  of  outside  things,  the 
tales  he  told,  the  things  he  did.  Then,  it  grew  more  personal. 
Minnie,  unheedful  of  the  meaning,  began  to  put  away  the 
wash-tub  before  it  should  be  time  for  Ted  to  return  at  night. 
The  one  period  of  idleness  in  her  day  would  be  the  fifteen 
minutes  of  attention  she  gave  Ted  when  he  came  in.  With 
Tack,  her  husband,  it  was  dull  and  different.  Jack  never 
seemed  to  want  to  talk  to  her — never  seemed  to  care  to  tell 
her  anything,  or,  in  fact,  to  have  anything  to  tell.  He  didn't 
find  her  good  fun  any  more.    She  knew  this,  but  didn't  resent

it,  acutely — there  wasn't  time 
nor  strength.  Ted  was  anxious 
about  her,  too.  This  gave  her  a 
sort  of  thrill,  altho  she  didn't 
label  it  as  such.  It  had  been  a 
long  time  since  anybody  cared 
whether  she  were  tired,  whether 
she  wanted  to  go  out,  brought 
her,  now  and  then,  a  magazine 
or  a  flower  or  a  few  candies.  Ted  did  all  these  things. 
After  awhile  Ted  seemed  to  the  girl  a  sort  of  glowing 
bar  of  light  across  the  drabness  of  her  days,  the  meanness 
of  her  worries  and  the  fears  for  herself,  for  Jack,  for  her 
children.  He  was  something  to  turn  to  when  other  things 
pressed  too  heavily. 

He  encouraged  her  about  Jack,  too,  about  his  inventions. 
Said  lie  would  make  good,  sure  as  fate!  He  was  awfully  nice 
and  kind  about  everything.  Best  of  all,  it  made  Minnie  know 
that  she  was  still  young,  still  attractive,  that  everything 
glamorous  and  wonderful  need  not  be  over.  Somehow,  she 
grew  to  need  the  stimulus  of  it,  even  tho  she  never  swerved 
in   her   innermost   heart   from   Jack,    from   the   children   she 


worshipped    and    brooded    over. 

He  had  been  boarding  with 
them  for  nearly  six  months  be- 
fore the  real  temptation  came. 
Things  had  been  so  hard,  the 
children  ailing,  actually  sick,  not 
enough  good  milk,  not  enough  to 
pay  the  doctor's  bill,  the  rent 
behind,  coal  going  up ;  Minnie 
herself  was  backachy  and  al- 
most discouraged,  Jack  toiling 
stupidly,  it  seemed  now,  stupidly 
and  endlessly,  at  the  invention 
that  never  "invented." 

If  it  hadn't  been  for  Ted — 
Minnie  grew  to  shudder  at  the 
mere  idea  of  losing  Ted.  The 
touch  of  his  hand  had  grown  to 
be  the  thing  that  made  her  day 
a  day. 

One  of  the  days  Ted  came  to 
her  and  told  her  that  all  the  past 
six  months  had  been  a  game  he 
had  played  because  he  loved  her, 
couldn't  bear  to  see  her  work- 
ing so,  killin"  herself,  it  was:  he 
wanted  her  to  quit  the  whole 
business,  to  come  away  with 
him.  He  could  make  money,  he 
always  had  been  able  to,  he 
would,  for  her.  She  could  have 
things  .  .  .  pretty  things  .  .  . 
sleep,  too,  rest  and  books  and 
auto  rides,  everything  she  had 
been  going  without.  He  had 
to  say  it  ...  he  had  to  have 
her  .  .  .  he  .  .  .  He  came 
over  to  her  atid  held  out  his 
arins.  His  eyes  were  ablaze  and 
his  voice  shook.  Drabness  took 
hold  of  Minnie's  soul ;  drabnes.s 
and  this  other  thing,  this  pulse- 
shaking,  shameful  thing  .  .  . 
shameful,  yes  ...  he  didn't 
love  her  .  .  .  not  soberly  .  .  . 
not  in  a  way  that  counted  .  .  . 
Jack,  working,  the  children,  the 
children  .  .  .  she  would  go  on, 
because  she  must,  she  must  .   .   . 

She   said,    "No!"     Then    she 
said  it  again.  "\o,  No,  No!"   She 
was  struggling  in  his  arms,  still 
crying  "No !"  when  Jack  came  in 
and  finished  the  struggle  by  all  but  finishing  Ted 

Twelve  months.  Margaret  \'ane  living  alone,  in  her  coun- 
try home,  very  much  alone.  People  have  a  habit  of  dropping 
off,  after  the  manner  of  leaves  when  the  summer  of  content- 
ment is  fled.  Margaret  found  that  the  many  guests  she  had 
entertained  had  been  entertained  by  her  very  much  more  for 
the  sake  of  Donald  than  for  the  sake  of  her  own  society.  Nor 
did  they  t.ike  kindly  to  Paul  Derreck. 

Paul  had  not  married  her.  For  a  time  after  Donald's  death 
he  had  played  the  role  of  very  ardent  lover.  Whenever  she 
had,  tentatively,  suggested  marriage  he  had  professed  sur- 
prise at  her  eagerness  as  "bad  taste."  "So  soon,"  he  had 
said.  She  had  replied  that  she  didn't  see  that  it  made  any 
difference — their  union  was  so,  in  fact.  He  had  been  vague. 
He  had  kept  on  being  vague.  His  ardor  still  persisted — after 
a  fashion.  It  was  a  fashion  that  brought  the  brand  of  shame 
to  Margaret's  face.  She  knew  now  what  manner  of  love  the 
man  was  offering  her. 

After  awhile  she  grew  desperate.  Donald — dead.  Loyah 
hard-working,  honest  Donald,  who  had  married,  protected  her, 
spun  a  cocoon  of  fine  silk  about  her,  revered  her.    And  Paul —

for  v^'liom  she  felt  this  insis- 
tent, deathly  passion  that 
gnawed  at  her,  with  redness 
and  remorse,  and  would  not 
let  her  be. 

She  had  few  resources.  For 
all  her  super-sophistication, 
Margaret,  like  most  unthink- 
ing, unintrospective  souls, 
was  a  primitive.  She  had 
only  a  limited  measure  of  re- 
taliation. 

She    had    never    been    un- 
happy    before.       She     simply 
could  not  accept  unhappiness, 
either      philosophically      or 
otherwise.     A  year  after  Donald':

The  newspapers  bore  varied  ac- 
counts of  the  final  tragedy,  but  the 
facts  of  the  case  were  that  Mar- 
garet, growing  hysterical,  pro- 
duced a  revolver  and  threatened 
to  shoot  if  he  did  not  reconside: 
and  right  her  miserable  state  by 
marrying  her.  Derreck,  with  the 
contempt  he  invariably  showed 
for  melodrama  or  the  loss  of 
poise,  wrenched  the  thing  out  of 
her  liand  and  then  handed  it 
back,  telling  her  to  kill  herself  if 
she  wished  to  kill  anyone. 

Hhe  did. 

She  must  have  lain  in  that 
darkening  room  for  a  long  while 
after  he  had  left.  She  must  have 
thought,  and  for  the  first  bitter 
time,  strange,  pitiable  thoughts. 
I'erhaps  she  prayed,  to  Donald, 
to  (lod,  to  Heaven,  to  the  lover 
who  had  left  her,  before  she  put 
the  bullet  thru  her  brain.  Who 
know.s — who  knows?

<  Uir  hijijjesl  disappointment  of  the  year  lies  in  the  fact  that  David  Wark 
(  Irifllih  has  contributed  nothing  material  to  the  .screen  during  the  twelve 
MKinths.     l"or  the  first  time  in  three  years  he  fails  to  head  our  list  of 
best  photoplays.     Just   now.  when  the  photo|)lay  needs  a  courageous 
le.idcr  more  ili.in  ever  before,  he  has  failed  to  follow  his  epic  of  Lime- 
house,    "Broken    Blossoms,"    with    any- 
thing   Vk'orthy    of    himself.      "The    Idol 
Dancer,"  a  trite  chase  melodrama  of  the 
tropics,  came  nearest  in  points  of  ])(]etry 
and  beauty,  but  it  fell  a  thousaml  miles 
(irilVith  had  his  biggest  theme  in  "The

canndt  easily  tie  the  hands  of  artistic  develoi)nient  on  the  silvcrsheet. 

lUit  to  return  to  oiir  selection.  lUit  six  were  original  stories  written 
for  the  screen  and  eleven  were  photoplays  in  which  there  were  no  stars. 

Here  let  ns  register  another  disappointment.  King  Vidor,  who,  since 
he  produced  "The  Turn  in  the  Road."  last  year,  .seems  to  us  the  most 
promising  single  force  in  films,  did  not  repeat  himself.  Yet  we  have  not 
lost  faith  in  this  young  crusader  for  the  close-lo-the-soi!  drama. 

Cecil' de  Mille  continued  along  his  luxurious  primrose  ])ath 
of  sex  and  divorce.    There  is  no  questioning  the  (lopularity  of 
this  director,  who.se  eye  is  that  of  the  theater  and  not  of  tlie 
sympathetic  ohserver  of  life.     Lavish  and  picturesi|ue  is  his 
style,    hut   the    human    note    of    tomorrow    is   not 
there.      Then,   too,    De    Mille   is    running    rife    in 
houdoir  negligee.     His  dramas  are 
as  intimate  as  a  department  store 
window . 

The  one  directorial  surprise  of 
the  year  was  l-'rich  von  .Stroheim, 
heretofore  a  jilayer  of  Teu- 
tonic   scoundrels    in    war 
thrillers.      \'on    .'stroheim

in   romance,  the   Parisian 

connoisseur   in    love.      He 

possesses  surprising  directorial  dexterity,  technically  second 

only  to  (irihith.     The  soul  of  life  itself  is  alone  lacking,  for 

his  characters  still  fall  short  of  the  hreath  of  reality. 

Here  we  turn  naturally  to  Mrs.  Sidney  Drew,  who  worked 
with  Hribail  Henley  u)ion  "The  (lay  Old  Dog,"  that  well- 
nigh   perfect   visualization   of   l'"dna   Ferber's   story.      Mrs. 
Drew  also  ])rodijced  a  number  of  the  "After  Thirty"  stories 
of  Julian   Street.     These  are  all  marked   with  a  rare  human 
note,  a   fine  insight  into  life  and  a  s])lendid  ability  to  reflect 
it  upon  the  screen.     Mr.  Henley's  work  u|H)n  "The  (iay  f)l(l 
Dog"  alone  would  justify  careful   ob.servation  of  his   future 
progress.     Here  let  us  draw  attention  to  the  fact  that  "The 
(lay  Old   Dog"   is  not   rated  as  a  financial  success  and  that 
destructive    conclusions    regarding    motion    jiicture   audiences 
have  been  drawn   from   it.     To  which  we  answer  that  "The 
(iay   ( )ld    Dog"   was   released  thru   a   channel    familiar   with 
the   handling   of   melodramatic   serial    thrillers    and    the   like. 
It   failed   for  this  reason  and  none  other.  ^  We  stand  firm  in 
our  belief  that  audiences  want  the  best — if  thev  can  get  it'. 
It   is  rather  late  to  comment  ujion  (ieorge   Loanc  Tucker, 
whose  "The  Miracle  Man"  holds  first  place  in  the  screen  year.     If  Tucker  does  nothing 
else,  he  has  contributed  mtich  to  the  |)hotoplay's  progress.    We  judge  him  as  |Josse^sing 
a  fine  sense  of  the  drama,  a  welcome  ili-rcgard  of  non-essentials  and  a  remarkable  ability 
to  make  [jlayers  act.     Many  months  have  passed  and  we  still  await  his  next  production. 

(ieorge  Fitzmain-ice,  master  of  screen  light  and  shade,  is  coming  along  with  splendid 
strides.     He  is  at  the  very  top  of  our  directorial  leaders.     Frank  liorzage  leaped  iiUo  at 
tention  with  his  "Htmiores(|ue."  wTnich,  if  long-drawn-out  and  tiresome  at  times,  had  a 
piimiisiiig  human  touch.

Bill  Hart's  Dream 
Home 


As  ue  talked,  the  gay  cietoiiiie  curtains  swayed  in  the 
soft  breeze,  heavy  witli  the  fragiance  ffom  orchards 
across    the   road.      To    the    north,    the    lengthening 
shadows  were  beginning  to  touch  the  Hollywood  moun- 
tains, and  over  the  whole  scene  brooded  the  peace  and 
i|uiet  of  the  late  afternoon. 

"These  twenty-eight  I'ages  contain  all  the  action  for  a 
picture,"  remarked  William  Hart,  flipping  the  closely 
written  pages  he  held  in  his  hand.  "This  makes  the 
fourth  original  scenario  I  have  written  since  July,  'The 
Toll  Ciate'  being  the  first  to  be  lilmed.  I  had  that  story 
in  my  mind  for  many  months  before  1  had  the  time  to 
make  it.  I  believe  a  story  written  especially  for  the 
screen  starts  out  with  fifty  i)er  cent,  in  its  favor.  The 
technique  of  ]ilot-building  is  ditTcrent  in  novels  and  pic- 
tures, tho  many  authors  have  not  yet  recognized  this  fact, 
n  writing  a  book  you  begin  immediately  to  work  away 
from  screen  requirements.  I  enjoy  buihling  and  working 
up  my  stories,  but  I'll  admit  that  it  reipiires  hard  work 
on  my  part  and  I  dig  at  it  many  hours  before  getting 
results. 

"(ieniusr  Nonsense!  There  is  no  such  thing. 
That  is  the  most  abused  word  in  the  whole  language, 
eople  who  acconi'  lish  things  t/riini  for  them.  That 
is  all  the  genius  i  ere  is — the  determination  to  stick 
until  you  succeed.'  and  the  great  exponent  of  Western 
screen  drama  tlasiied  one  of  his  rare  but  hearty  smiles 
across  the  room  at  me. 

Mr.  Hart's  study  in  his  little  green  studio 
among  the  Hijllywood  orchards  is  franimed 
with  treasures  dear  to  his  heart.  With 
boyish  enthusiasm  he  showed  me  his 
splendid  collection  (jf  firearms,  explain- 
ing the  intricate  workings  of  guns  and 
rilles.  There  ar^  several  rare  horse- 
hair lariats  decorating  the  walls,  while 
saddles,  chaps  and  many  Indian  curios, 
gifts  from  the  star's  devoted  primitive 
friends,  fill  the  room. 

Putting  the  treasures  back  into  their 
places.  Mr.  Hart  remarked,  wistfully, 
".Seems  a  great  |>ity  to  me  that  the 
three  most  romantic  and  picturesque 
elements  of  this  great  country — the  In- 
dian, the  hardy  fronliersman,  the  buf- 
f;do — must  give  way  to  the  march  of 
civilization.  I  am  wondering  if  the 
exchange  pays." 

Watching    his    sensitive    face    as    he 
spoke,  I   think   I  came  nearer  com|)re- 
tS®  ' '  ■■'£  bending    the    love   he   bears    his    West 

f  j3t.  il'a  •     than  ever  before. 

It    is   always  interesting  to   consider 
the    inlluences   that   have   combined   to 
m.ike  a  man  what  he  is.     The  case  of 
William  Hart  ])resenls  an  especially  al- 
luring study,  for

Jiiul  _\i't  oiuc  iiicliuleil  iunon^  his  acciuaiiUaiHt"-,  ihf  cliavm  and  wariiuli 
of  his  winning;  nature  is  irrcsislihle.  The  somber  eves,  with  their  hint  of 
a  ceaseles-  search  of  ideals,  uheti  illuminated  with  a  cordial  smile,  invites 
the  sincere  honiaye  that  is  showered  upon  him. 

With  this  thought  in  mind,  as  we  resumed  our  ^eats  by  the  open  win- 
dovvN.  I  asked  the  i|ne^lion.  "Wlt.at  have  been  the  vital  intiuences  in  vour 
life?" 

"There  have  been  three."  came  the  C|uick  rejily.  "my  father,  the  West  and 
the  Si(iux  Indians.  My  mother  was  jvist — iiiiithfr,  that  says  it  all;  I  wor- 
.-hipped  )ier '" 

".Suiipose  you   had  been   reared  in  ii   sm.iU   pastoral 
his  father  was  lui.ijhsh — "instead  of  the  l.'Jakota  prairies 
po.so  you  would  have  been  today!'" 

".So  different — so  vastly  different  that  the  Ivvcj  of  us  would  not  have  a 
single  thought  in  common.  There  is  no  question  that  environment  i 
posverful  force,"  answered  Mr.  Hart,  "h'ate  seemed  to  (ilay  vvilli  me,  for  it 
.itfordcd  the  two  elements  necessary  for  me  to  produce  the  kind  of  pictures 
1  want,  h'irst,  there  was  the  thoro  knowledge  of  the  West,  gleaned 
during  those  impressionable  years  of  youth.  Then"  came  sixteen 
years  of  active  stage  training'  under  the  greatest  theatrical  directors 
(if  the  <hu.  So  I  feel  I  came  to  the  screen  fully  ecpiipped  for  my 
work,  and  1  am  always  grateful  to  the  public  who  have  believed  in 
the  West  as  I  know  it  and  am  trying  to  present  it." 

"How  about  the  new  home?"  I  aske<l,  inesently,  for  he  and  his 
sister.  .Mary,  have  recently  moved  into  a  prett)'  little  I'.nglish  cot- 
tage. "Vour  sister  told  me  that  when  she  incpiired  how  you  wanted 
vom"  l)e<lroom  furnished,  vou  replied,  '.\n  iron  lied,  an  Indian  rug, 
that's  all !'  " 

".Sure,  what  else  do  I  nei-d  ?"  and  Mr.  Hart  laughed,  jovially. 
"f"or  the  love  of  Mike,  what  does  a  man  want  with  a  lot  of 
fussy  things  lying  around'  To  tell  you  the  truth,  1  never  fee 
comfort.ible  in  lavish  surroundings.  Mind  you,  tho,  that  isn't 
a  r,-ut  home  ;  it  is  merely  an  abiding-place  for  Mary  and 
me  until  )ny  dream  conies  true.  Want  me  to  tell  you 
about  that .'" 

Lighting  a   fresh  cigar  and  leaning  back 
Mr.  Hart  proceeded  to  reveal  his  secret 
dreams  for  the  future. 

"1  was  fifteen  when  we  left  Dakota. 
Tho  I  was  a  big  hulk  of  a  lad,  I  remem- 
ber how  I  clung  to  my  father's  hand 
there  was  a  wonderful  bond  of  affection 
between  us — ^and  a>  the  train  ])ullcd 
out,  I  asked.  'Dad.  when  are  we  coming 
hack''  and  he  replie<l.  '( )nly  (lod  knows, 
son.'     ' 

"Vou  see.  I  was  lea\int;  the  only  home 
1  had  ever  known  and,  in  my  little-boy 
heart,  the  only  home  1  wanted.  Well, 
I'm  a  man  now,  but  my  heart  hasn't 
changed,  .\lways,  ii/ti'uv.v,  my  big  desire 
has  been  to  come  back — to  build  the 
home  1  have  dreamed  about  —  here  in  the 
West. 

".Now,  with  that  wish  ever  in  my  mind 
and  kitowin.g  that  1  am  soon  to  leave 
motion  iiictures,  1  am  constantly  forming 
plans  ;ind  buihlin;;  air  castles  as  to  just 
what  that  home  shall  be — oh,  it  is  great 

flU1. 

"It  is.  of  course,  to  he  a  ranch  out  in

Thru  his  portrayal  of  rug- 
ged frontier  life,  Mr.  Hart 
has  kept  before  the  pub- 
lic, a  picture  of  the  great 
West  which  may  be 
viewed  as  historical;  he 
has  been  for  a  great  many

"I  riont  care!"  she  justified  herself,  as  she  crumpled  the

.\nother  momeiU  and  all  thoU(;hl  of  the  troublesome  bit  of

of  ioy  that  waslied  over  her  spirit  with  the  clasp  of  Paul  Car 
rini;lon's  strong,  slender  hands,  the  glance  of  his  grey  eyes. 

"I  thought."  she  laughed,  a  trifle  breathlc-sly.  as  they  turned 
back  to  the  car.  "that  perliaps  you  didn't  care  especially-  for 
tea.  .Vnd  in  that  case  I  might  be  induced  to  show  you  our

very  proud  of  the  view  and  always  drags  our  guests  up  the 
mountain  to  see  it,  ipiite  as  tho  she  were  directly  res]ionsible

"A  new  studio  is  being  built  for  ns  over  on

thusiastically, "and  1  am  lo  ha\e  my  nun

great  to  work  with,  for  his  good  humor  and 
lively  spirits  keep  tilings  hummin,g  and  he  w  ill 
sacrifice  anything  for  a  good  laugh. 

"In  this  picture  I  ])lay  the  role  of  a  girl  wIkj

was  practicing  some  new  trills,  and  we  listened 
to  the  sweet  notes  while  we  enjoyed  the  beauty 
of  the  scene  before  us. 

"It  is  all  so  glorious  lu-re.  liciw  I  lo\e  il '" 
Miss  .\vres  spoke  suftly,  lest  we  frighten  .Mr.

Hugging  her  devoted  companion,  a  lively  toy 

I'lOston  terrier,  "Skooks."  with  his  luie  markings 

and   button   tail,   the   star  declared   that   he  had 

never  lived  a  real  dog's  life  before — iioji'  he  has  a 

whole  big  g.irden  in  which  to  bury  choice  bones. 

"We  have  accumulated  a  lot  of  live  stock,"  remarked  Miss  .\yres. 

between  ".Skook's"  playful  barks.     "There  are  twelve  rabbits,  seven 

chickens,  with   si.\  eggs  each  evening  f<ir  me  to  find — it's  the   hcsl

"There  was  a  time  when  I  thought  emotional  and  dramatic  rc'ilc-

interview.  "Rut  1  am  beginning  to  |>refer  comedy  dramas.  They

Y^our  nails  tell  strangers  all  about  you 

How  you  can  keep  them  always  well  groomed 


IT  is  not  only  palmists  who  read 
your  character  by  your  hands. 
Wherever  you  go — whenever 
you  appear  in  public,  strangers  are 
judging  you  by  the  ap])earance  of 
your  hands  and  nails.  Some  people 
do  so  unconsciously.  To  many 
it  is  the  one  sure  key  to  a  person's 
standing. 

(.."arclessly  manicured  nails  cannot 
be  hidden.  The  loveliest  gown,  the 
most  charming  manner  cannot 
aflfect  the  impression  they  give. 

Hut  there  i*  a  way  to  correct  that 
impression.     Vour  nails  can  be  as 
lovelv   as  anyone's  with  very  little 
effort.  A  few  min- 
utes of  the  right 
kind     of     care, 
once    or    twice    a 
week,   is   all    that 
^^^  is  necessarv. 


Itut  it  must  be  the  riaht  kind  of 
care.  Many  of  the  most  neg- 
lected looking  nails  are  really 
not  neglected ;  they  are  badly 
manicured.  The  cuticle  is  ragged 
and  overgrown  because  it  has  been 
cut.  The  more  you  cut  the  cuticle 
the  worse  it  looks.  It  grows 
thicker  and  thicker,  the  skin  heals 
in  little  scars  and  hangnails  form. 

With  Cutex,  the  liquid  cuticle 
remover,  you  can  keep  your  cuticle 
smooth  and  unbroken,  the  nails 
always  lovely. 

With  a  hit  of  cotton  wrapped 
about  an  orange  stick  and  dipped 
in  Cutex,  work  around  each  nail 
base.  Then  wa.sli  the  hands, 
pressing    back    the   cuticle    with    a 

tnwcl. 

l-'or  clean,  white  nail  tip.s.  appK 
■  i    little    Cutex    \"ail    White    under 


the    nails.      l''inish    your    n;anic\irf 
with  Cutex  Xail   Polish. 

To  keep  the  cuticle  soft  and 
pliable  so  that  you  need  not 
ruanicure  as  often,  apply  Cutex 
Cold   Cream   at   night   on   retiring. 

Cutex,  the  cuticle  remover, 
comes  in  35  and  65  cent  bottles. 
Cutex  Xail  Polish.  Xail  White, 
and  Cold  Cream  are  each  35 
cents.

Top.  Our  Mary  proves 
ttiat  there  is  more 
than  one  kind  of 
courage  in  the  world 
by  deliberately  oblit- 
erating as  much  as  is 
possible  of  her  natu- 
ral facial  beauty.  Evi- 
dently she  believes 
her  role  as  "The 
Duchess  of  Suds" 
should  be  a  realistic 
one,  to  say  the  least. 
Center,  Viola  Dana  is 
said  to  be  very  much 
interested  in  aviation 
and  its  exploiters.  Be-

and  oh,  yes,  the  gay  fan  from  l^evilla.  It 
was  so  bright,  that  picture,  I  wish  it 
could  be  seen  in  colors." 

The  sparkling  vitality  of  this  girl  im- 
mediately impresses  one.  I  well  remem- 
ber how  crowds  watched  her  dancing  at 
.-',•111  Diego,  how  they  jielted  her  with 
I'nuer^  and  gifts,  for  of  all  the  quartet 
-111-  u.i",  undoubted  queen.  She  ha^  re- 
ceived so  many  letters  since  that  time, 
for  the  tourists  did  not  forget  La  Rella 
Sevilla  after  leaving  the  coast. 

We  spoke  of  her  career,  a  quite  iimd- 
i>t  one  so  far,  Beatrice  thinks.  She  did 
"The  Moon  I^iders"  and  a  serial  with 
\rt  .\cord,  until  that  lively  young  man 
broke  one  leg  in  three  |)laces  and  held  uji 
lirodnction  for  the  past  three  months. 
.Mildred  .Moore  was  compelled  to  bleach 
her  hair  U>  play  ojiposite  Miss  Domin- 
iuez,  since  a  wig  would  have  been  un- 
feasible fur  serial  work,  where  rough- 
riding  .111(1  hard  stunts  are  the  rule. 

"|)o  you  indulge  in  sjiorts.  Miss  Do- 
niinguez  r" 

'Oil.  yes;  1  ->wim,  rule,  shoot  —  any- 
thing but  drive  a  car.  My  mother  is 
afraid  I  am  too  excitable  and  enthusiastic 
.'ind  that  I  might  have  an  accident — so 
ue  have  a  chautTeur." 

N'ow,  isn't  that  a  bit  of  old  S]iain  in 
itself  r  Imagine  riding  a  horse  down  all 
sorts  of  rocky  canyons,  over  rough 
roads,  fording  stony  rivers — and  then 
balking'  (It  the  modern  innovation,  the 
inutor-car ! 

(  ine  evening,  the  audience  at  the  ."su- 
pcrba  Theater,  l.os  .\ngeles,  was  charmed 
III  see  Beatrice  Dominguez  dance  before 
ilie  lilm  ])resentation.  She  does  a  great 
de;il  of  charity  dancing  and  took  part  in 
I  lie  "l.ea'.;ue  of  Nations"  entertainment 
.11  Whiltier,  California. 

"1  wish  they  had  cast  you  as  Lasca." 
1   murmured.     She  is  the  very  incarna 


lion  of  that  wild,  jealous,  ardent  creation 
of  lohn  Boyle  O'Reilly. 

".\lniost  1  was  cast  for  the  jiart.  The 
director  wanted  me,  and  the  management 
agreed,  but  then  it  was  found  that  I  was 
a  trifle  too  tall,  so  it  fell  thru.  I  was  so 
eager  for  the  part.  I  wish  so  mucli  to 
do  Carmen  some  day,  too. 

"Vou  see,  .\mericans  try  to  jilay  the 
part  of  a  .Spanish  girl,  and  they  slouch — 
is  thai  what  you  call  it?  They  drop  the 
shoulders  and  sink  in  the  chin.  No 
.Spanish  girl  ever  does  that.  She  is  very 
|iroud,  her  head  is  held  far  back,  her 
shoulders  are  very  straight  even  when 
she  dances,  never  does  she  stoop  forward 
or  bend  carelessly.  .She  has  carriage^ 
you  know  what  I  mean  .' " 

"Coquetry  isn't  really  intentional  with 
Spanish  people,  is  it?  It  seems  sponta- 
neous." When  one  has  lived  in  a  city  of 
.Spanish  inhabitants  for  eight  years,  it  is 
quite  i.iatent  that  the  desire  to  please  the 
o()posite  sex  and  pride  of  family,  coupled 
with  sel  i-respect,  are  res|ionsible  for  the 
arts  and  wiles  of  the  attractive  sei'ioritas. 

"Sometimes  at  the  .studio  they  say  to 
me,  'lieatrice,  again  you  vainp!'  Bah, 
how  1  detest  that — so  vulgar  a  word. 
Never  do  I  wish  to  hear  it  applied  to  me. 
1  shake  my  head — and  then  they  say  to 
me.  'Well,  perhaps  not  consciously,  but 
you  cant  help  vamping.'  They  think 
that  if  one's  eyes  dance  and  the  mouth 
smiles,  and  one  is  happy — it  must  be 
vamping.  .Spanish  |)eo|ile  do  nfit  think 
of  that. 

"Why,  even  to  her  death,  iiiy  mother's 
mother  had  that  attractiveness.  .She  lived 
to  be  one  hundred  and  two  years  old. 

"Yes.  and  the  father  of  my  mother 
lived  to  be  almost  one  hundred  and  five 
years  old,  enjoying  life  with  us  until  the 
last.  He  simply  fell  aslee]i,"  she  coii- 
cludid. 

"Have  you  'oeen  playing  chiefly  Span- 
ish ]iarts .'" 

"Really,  the  first  time  1  appeared  be- 
fore the  camera  was  when  Douglas  Fair- 
banks came  to  the  Exposition  and  filmed 
'The  -Americano.'  You  remember,  the 
Spanish  dancers  w-ere  featured  in  that? 
Then  1  had  my  picture  taken  with  Mr. 
I'airbanks  many  times — he  is  so  funny, 
that  Mr.  Fairbanks.  Dont  vou  love  him? 
1  do."  Miss  Dominguez  is  delightfully 
direct,  and  yet  she  is  subtle,  elusive,  so 
that  one  finds  it  difficult  not  to  stare  at 
her  changing  expression. 

1  was  sjiarrd  the  task  of  making  a  con- 
fession. She  went  on,  gaily,  "I  wish  I 
could  do  'The  Bird  of  Paradi.se' — at  the 
studio  Mr.  Howard  is  trying  to  arrange 
for  that ;  he  wants  so  much  to  have  me 
play  Luana. 

"Once  1  played  opposite  handsome 
W  ;illy  Keid,  too,  in  "I.es'  Than  Kin," " 
came  the  softly  slurred  title.  "Now  I 
have  been  in  'The  Beach  Comber,'  and 
1  love  that  jiart  very  much.  It  will  be 
released  soon.  1  played  a  good  role  with 
Mr.  Salisbury — he  is  so  big  and  kind,  I 
enjoy  so  much  to  work  with  him. 


CLASSIC 

"1  am  (/lii'i  that  I  was  nut  ailvcrtiscJ 
and  [nr^bfd  into  tlie  front  rank  suddenly 
— like  sumo  of  the  youn;;  girls  who  li^ve 
failed.  !t  is  not  well  to  become  a  star 
that  way.  1  should  not  like  (o  play 
ingenues  or  straight  leads.  1  ihink  1 
liave  been  most  fortunate  in  being  cast 
fur  character  parts,  .  for  heavies  with 
strong  emotional  jiarts.  That  is  real 
training  in  acting.  When  ;ny  time  comes 
as  a  star,  1  shall  liave  had  much  expe- 
rience, and  then  I  shall  not  he  afraid; 
I  shall  only  know  that  it  is  a  time  to 
work  harder  than  ever  to  deserve  suc- 
cess." 

Perhajis  the  most  delightful  thing 
about  this  beauty  of  Seville  is  her  lack 
of  vanity.  She  is  very  critical  and,  like 
most  analvsts,  does  not  spare  herself,  but 
carefully  dissects  her  motives,  studies 
her  ;ip])earance  and  strives  constantly  for 
imiiruvenient.  There  is  not  the  slightest 
danger  of  self-satisfaction  in  this  girl  of 
twenty-one,  who  is  accejited  in  the  best 
society  of  Los  Angeles,  who  is  a  belle  in 
Spanish  circles  here,  and  who  is  un- 
usually talented,  vvell-educaied  and  well- 
bred.  !'erha|>s  it  is  the  convent  training 
which  has  given  Iter  the  remarkable 
poi.se  and  self-control  which  so  oddly 
contrast  with  her  exuberant  s])irits  and 
emotionality. 

Outside  of  studio  life,  she  spends  her 
time  with  mother  and  sister,  and.  like 
many  other  actresses,  has  early  sIkjuI- 
dered  the  responsibility  of  earning  a  liv- 
ing for  her  family.  Spanish  peojile  are 
notably  hos])itablc,  and  in  the  early  days 
of  tiie  Pueblo  poor  relations  from  every 
section  of  the  country  were  welcome  at  a 
rancho.  The  Dominguez  family  has  in- 
herited this  love  of  entertaining,  and 
their  home  is  always  ojjen  to  visitors.  So 
while  La  Bella  Sevilla  no  longer  dances 
for  a  living,  she  delights  her  guests  with 
the  old  songs  and  dances,  with  the  play- 
ing of  guitar  and  ukulele,  in  a  modern 
bungalow.

A  woman's  charm 

See  how  white  teeth  enhance  it 

Alt  stdlt-mrnts  affftrozrd  hy  high  drnlixl  nitthnritirv 


Countless  women  have  found  a  way 
to  whiter,  safer  teeth.  You  meet  them 
everywhere.  A  new  method  of  teeth 
cleaning  is  now  widely  employed,  and 
anyone  who  watches  can  see  the  re- 
sults of  it. 

This  is  to  ask  that  you  test  it.  Watch 
the  results  for  ten  days,  then  judge  for 
yourself  if  you  need  it. 

The  tooth  wrecker 

Millions  find  that  well-brushed  teeth 
discolor  and  decay.  Tartar  forms,  and 
often  pyorrhea  starts. 

Most  of  those  troubles  are  now  traced 
to  film.  To  that  visiJous  coat  which 
you  feel  with  your  tongue.  It  clings  to 
teeth,  enters  crevices  and  stays.  The 
ordinary  tooth  paste  cannot  dissolve  it, 
so  the  tooth  brush  leaves  much  of  it 
intact. 

It    is    the    film-coat    that    discolors — 


not  the  teeth.  Film  is  the  basis  of 
tartar.  It  holds  food  substance  which 
ferments  and  forms  acid.  It  holds  the 
acid  in  contact  with  the  teeth  to  cause 
decay. 

Millions  of  germs  breed  in  it.  They, 
with  tartar,  are  the  chief  cau^e  of 
pyorrhea.  All  these  troubles  have  been 
constantly  increasing. 

Now  a  new  method 

Dental  science,  after  years  of  search- 
ing, has  found  a  way  to  combat  this 
film.  Able  authorities  have  amply 
proved  its  efficiency.  Now  leading  den- 
tists everywhere  are  urging  its  adoption. 

A  new  tooth  paste  has  been  perfected 
to  meet  every  modern  requirement.  The 
name  is  Pepsodent.  And  this  film  com- 
batant is  embodied  in  it. 


Sent  to  all  who  ask 


A  ten-day  tube  of  Pepsodent  is  sent 
to  all  who  ask.  Thus  millions  have 
already  proved  it.  If  you  have  not, 
write  for  that  tube  today. 

Pepsodent  is  based  on  pepsin,  the 
digestant  of  albttmin.  The  film  is  al- 
buminous matter.  The  object  of  Pep- 
sodent is  to  dissolve  it,  then  to  day  by 
day  combat  it. 

This  method  long  seemed  impossible. 
Pepsin  must  be  activated,  and  the  usual 
agent  is  an  acid  harmful  to  the  teeth. 
But  science  has  discovered  a   harmless

MOTION  PICTIRH 

His  Happy  Role 

{Contitiued  from  page  35) 

the  only  applause  we  receive,  the  only 
way  we  have  of  knowing  just  wliat 
people  like  or  do  not  like.  The  best  pub 
licity  a  motion  picture  actor  can  have  i'^

what  they  want  and  in-i^t  <n\  bavin;;  il 
t-oo." 

Remembering  thai  .Mr.  \\  a^hblM•n'- 
popularity  has  outlived  many  of  his  earlv 
contemporaries,  it  mu«t  be  that  hi- 
wholesomc  methods  have  pleased  the 
]mblie  who,  after  all.  may  not  be  a'^  tickle 
as  sometimes  rated,  but  as  this  star  sa\- 
they  merely  know  what  they  want. 

"How  did  yon  hapjien  to  tuin  f" 
comedy'"  I  asked.  j;l;incin^'  at  thn^c 
funny  stills. 

"It  is  really  Mabel's  fault,"  and  Mr, 
\\'ashburn  smiled  at  his  wife.  ".'>he  had 
selected  several  of  my  be<t  stories  and 
when  she  found  'Skinner's  Dress  Suit.' 
we  were  both  wild  about  it.  I'"ssanay 
couldn't  see  it.  I  had  not  specialized  on 
comedy  and  they  were  afraid  to  try  one 
We  were  so  sure  it  wa^;  the  right  thing 
however,  that  I  finally  guaranteed  the 
cost  of  production.  Well,  we  m;ide  it 
and  it  went  over." 

"Oh,  isn't  he  modest!"  cried  Mrs. 
Washburn.  "Why.  it  went  with  a  hnn(i.' 
Made  him  a  star,  too,  and  1  was  so 
proud." 

"There  is  nothing  like  a  good  laugh.  ' 
observed  Bryant. 

Glancing  thru  the  open  window,  I  saw 
Sonny  and  his  chum.  Hob  White,  who  is 
George  I'eban's  small  son,  playing  on  ihe 
lawn.  "Does  he  enjoy  your  pictures-"  I 
asked,  nodding  toward  the  child. 

"Oh,  yes,  tho  he's  not  always  as  appre- 
ciative as  he  might  be,"  chuckled  the 
father.  "Last  week  we  took  him  to  sec 
one  of  my  recent  films  and,  after  watch- 
ing several  scenes,  he  remarked,  in  a 
loud,  penetrating  whisper,  ',\1I  right 
now  let's  have  Mult  and  Jeff.'  " 

The  Washburn  home  is  unusual.  Its 
artistic  decorations  and  furnishings  bear- 
ing the  unmistakable  touch  of  true  honu 
lovers. 

"Buying  furniture  is  I'ryant's  hobby.' 
teased  Mabel.  "Even  in  the  first  year- 
of  our  marriage  every  time  we  managed 
to  get  a  few  hundred  dollars  ahead, 
Bryant  would  see  a  woiidcrfnl  piece  of 
furniture  or  a  gem  of  a  rare  book,  and 
away  would  go  our  savings.  He  hasn't 
outgTOwn  the  habit,  either,  for  he  just 
found  that  chair."  nodding  toward  a 
lovely  quaint  thing  of  the  Italian  Ren- 
aissance with  cushions  of  gorgeous  tap- 
estry, "and  that  lamp."  pointing  to  a 
stunning  floor  lamp  of  wrought-iron  in 
exquisite  design. 

"Why  should  I  ?"  replied  the  star,  his 
eyes  lingering  on  his  treasures  with  the 
appraising  joy  of  the  true  connoisseur. 
"Building  a  home  is  our  principal  delight, 
this  is  where  we  /I'rc,  this  is  where  I  gain 
inspiration  for  my  work."

Strange  Boarder'  and  'Jes'  Call  Me  Jim,' 
and  he  is  so  like  his  father  that  it  is 
really  fuimy." 

There  is  no  foolish  temperament  about 
Irene  Rich.  She  is  just  a  normal  girl, 
giving  her  best  to  the  work  and  hoping 
some  day.  when  she  is  ready  for  it,  that 
her  hill  chance  will  come. 

"I  like  to  play  good,  womanly  charac- 
ters," ^he  confided,  "and  perhaps  in  this 
way  I  can  lielp  the  world  a  little;  motion 
pictures  are  such  a  tremendous  force  in 
molding  thought." 

Irene  was  born  in  Buffalo,  New  York, 
and  was  educated  at  .St.  Margaret's 
Seminary.  Not  one  of  all  the  family 
connections  had  ever  been  on  the  stage. 
"I'm  just  an  odd  chip,"  she  laughed. 
"My  desire  never  became  definitely  for- 
mulated ;  it  all  seemed  to  belong  to  an- 
other e.xi.stence,  until  I  finally  made  my 
break.  We  all  work  better  under  pres- 
sure, we  must  have  a  big  incentive  to 
drive  u>  on  so  that  we  do  not  count  the 
disappointments. 

"I  went  to  a  fortune-teller  the  other 
day  u  ith  some  friends,  and  she  told  me 
that  1  would  reach  the  heights  in  my 
work  and  then — I  would  give  it  all  uj). 
Can  you  imagine  anything  so  silly? 
Why,  I'll  never  give  it  up.  I  hope  some 
day  to  go  on  the  stage  and — oh,  I  have 
so  many  ambition.--."  and  the  sweet  voice 
trailed  aw;iy  wistfully. 

Watching  the  lilue  ocean  blend  into  the 
bluer  sky,  Miss  Rich  told  me  about  the 
pretty  bimg.-dow  in  Hollywood  which  she 
has  iusi  bought. 

"Mother  i.-,  with  me  and  we're  very 
liapiiy.  .She's  so  wonderful,  my  very 
best  pal.  We  have  developed  a  marvel- 
ous teamwork  with  my  fan  mail  She 
addresses  the  envelopes  and  I  autogra[)h 
each  ])icture.  It  is  such  fun  to  receive 
letters  from  all  over  the  world  and  brings 
me  so  much  encouragement.  Some'imes 
it  seems  too  funny  for  words  to  think 
that  1,  Irene  Rich,  am  of  enough  impor- 
tance in  motion  ))ictures  to  be  receiving 
letters  !"  .\nd  again  came  the  little  laugh, 
with  a  whimsical  note  this  time. 

"We're  very  (|uiet,  mother  and  I,"  she 
went  on.  ".My  greatest  pleasure  comes 
with  my  work  and  my  flowers.  Oh,  my 
ruses  are  beautiful,  so  sturdy  and  gor- 
geous. Mo.st  of  them  are  red — I  adore 
red  roses.  If  I  hadn't  gone  into  this 
work  I  believe  I  would  have  been  a  land- 
scape gardener.  It  would  be  interesting 
lo  make  bare  ground  bloom  into  lovely 
gardens. 

"That  is  one  of  the  fascinations  about 
motion  pictures.  Studying  my  role, 
which  at  first  is  just  a  lifeless  written 
scrijit,  and  then  building  it  into  a  real 
woman  with  a  heart  and  a  soul. 

"It's  been  a  heavenly  day,"  finally  sighed 
Irene  contentedly,  as  we  turned  for  a 
farewell  look  at  the  ocean  before  start- 
ing on  the  return  trij)  to  the  city.  "Who

he  had  >u.si)i.i  ic'i.  iH-rhap^  hopeil,  Miss 
Il()bl)S  hstened.  She  hstened,  tirst,  be- 
lansi'  she  was  suriirisocl,  a  weakness  she 
would  ha\e  lheorelieall\  adinilted.  She 
H^leued,  seeiindly,  because  she  loved 
niiisu-,  ^'(Kid  uuisie,  Choinu  aliove  tilt 
luusie.  She  hstened  for  (|uile  ten  min- 
utes -teu  minutes  in  which  odd  httle 
breakages  i>ccuircd  in  her  cardiac  re);ion, 
and  tlien  there  was  a  sudden,  discord- 
ant, territic  crash  as  of  heavy  hands  fall- 
int;  loi)])il\  uijon  the  keys.  There  was 
nnihiun  else  for  Miss  Hobbs  to  do.  .She 
Imrst  in  upon  the  reuderer  of  Cho|)in  to 
tind  his  s^reat  lenf,'th,  his  huye.  almost 
shameless  frame,  s|)rawle<l  across  the 
keyboard. 

.Miss    llolibs   was,   she  linped.  huuiani- 
i  lariau.      It   w;is  a   weakness,  she  used  to 
'  preach,     to     .-issunie     poses.       .She     was 
'  definitely   himianitarian  e\en   when   that 
humauitariaiiism  was  called  upon  in  be- 
h.df  of  man.     She  made  an  inade(|uale 
attempt   to   shake  the   recumbent   shoul- 
der. 

"W'h.al    is   the   matter   with   you.'"   she 

a■^kc■cl :    then,   (itute   apart    from  her   own 

vi>lition,     impulsively,     "detestably"     sb.e 

.   would   have   said,   she   added.   ''Il'ho  arc 

i    V('»'" 

I  here  was  a  little  silence;  then  the 
iiiunmier  over  the  keys  re))lied,  rather 
feebly.  "I  have  heart  trouble — rather 
badlv.  1  -I'm  ,i  iiiano  tuner — by  i>ro- 
fession.  ' 

.Miss   llobbs  looked  at  him  with  some 
.isperity.     "Isn't  it  curious,"  she  enurici- 
,ited  clearly,  "for  a — piano  tuner,  how 
eser     estimable,     to     play     Chopin-  -like 
Ihal." 

The  nuuunier.  liis  baud  stdl  clutcheil 
to  his  heart,  shook  his  head,  wearily.  "1 
<lont  know  that  it  is,"  he  said;  '!even  :i

lioi)es.  1  ;un.  C  )nce,  before  my — my  af- 
lliction  o\ercame  me.  t  had  a  dream.  It 
was  to  be  a  concert  pianist.  Ah,  1 
dreamed  rarely — then.  Hut  my  heart — 
my  heart — "  Overcome,  the  would-be 
coucertist  swooned  afjain.  and  this  time 
it  necessitated  Miss  Hobbs'  boldiu};  the 
m:Luly  fnuue  to  her  breast  until  such 
time  as  she  could  ease  him  to  the  door. 
t;et  water,  otherw  ise,  and  rather  tenderly, 
re\i\e  him.  .She  was  surprised,  .'inain.  at 
the  little  w;ives  of  sensation  that  kept 
recinriut;  and  recediufj  within  her. 
What  was  it  "■  .She  \\onld  have  to  take 
several  lionrs  for  medit.'ition  .and  rel!cc- 
lion  wlien  she  should  have  reached  the 
s.aue  precinct  of  Xew  Thought  af;;iin.  It 
v,;is  as  she  b;id  alu.iys  known — m;ui  w.is 
a  deterrent.  She  sluiiiltl  be  ])ackin}i  -but 
heart  trouble  after  all,  man  is  a  fellow 
cre.'iture.  even  thn  .su  inferior  a  one. 

It  W.1--  still  more  surprisiuL'  to  Miss 
llobbs  to  find  that.  Heulah's  thiujjs  ne.at- 
Iv  packed,  returnini;  to  .\'ew  Tliouuhl

horned  rims.  h;id  always  had  power  to 
npsi't   her.     She   nuts!   be   more  careful. 


.She  delesleii  feminine  reactions  to  mas- 
ctiline  advances. 

I'efcjre  she  left,  still  clmfjinj;  to  her  role 
of  Miss  Hobbs'  maid,  she  had  prontised 
the  "piano  tuner"  to  "walk  out"  with 
hiin  on  the  following  Thursday.  She 
did  this,  she  convinced  herself,  in  the 
interest  of  iiuifcria  incdica.  She  must 
not  tell  the  satellites.  There  were  some 
abstract  interests  in  which  even  they 
miyht  not  share.  Doubless.  the  "i)iano 
tuner"  would  be  one  of  them. 

The  "piano  tuner."  watchini;  the 
rounded  fifjure  down  the  s  'eet.  chuckled, 
drew  forth  his  note-book,  chuckled 
aj^ain  and  inscribed  therein,  "Het  Percy 
llackett  and  ( ieor^je  Jessop  a  diuuer  for 
three  that  /  kiss  Miss  llobbs  within  a 
inoiith." 

The  day  before  the  Thursday  outmj;. 
Miss  Hobbs  received  a  rather  wobbly 
note  informiu};  her  that  the  piano  tuner 
was  "very  low"  and  he  had  to  fjo  to  the 
beach  for  the  j^ood  of  his  fast  failing 
health.  If  he  luight  dare  to  hopie  that 
.she  ...  He  spoke  of  the  resuscitating 
effect  her  presence  would  have  upon  an 
otherwise  doomed  man.  Miss  Hobbs 
was,  above  all,  a  himianitarian.  Site 
went  to  the  beach.  She  took  a  heart 
specialist  with  her.  and  Wolff  Kingsearl 
nearl>  had  a  literal  case  when  the  emi- 
nent man  entered  with  Miss  Hobbs.  It 
was  (miy  by  ilint  of  the  most  strenuous 
maneuvering  and  because  the  sjiecialist 
hapjiened  to  be.  also,  a  semimentalisl 
that  the  day  was  saved  and  the  eminent 
specialist  departed  with  a  fat  chuckle 
and  a  fatter  check  from  the  well-lined 
Kingsearl    pocket. 

Later  in  the  d.ay,  just  when  things 
were  going  most  swimmingly  and  Miss 
Hobbs'  humanitarianism  was  rising  more 
and  more  rapidly  to  the  fore  of  her 
other  theories,  there  arrived  upon  the 
arcadian  scene  W'oltt'  Kiugsearl's  mother 
and  little  Miss  .Mice  Joy.  the  yomig  lady 
selected  by  afore.said  mother  as  a  satis- 
factory and  amenable  daughter-in-law. 

.Mrs.  Kingsearl  had  never  heard  anv- 
thing  that  she  cared  to  hear  about  Miss 
llobbs.  She  was,  she  had  heard  tell,  a 
'st.ongiuinded  woman."  and  Mrs.  Kings- 
■  •;irl  being  nothing  of  the  sort,  the  idea  of 
being  brought  into  daily  contact,  not  to 
say  combat,  with  such  an  exponent  of  their 
joint  sex  did  not  aii|ieal  to  her  When 
\\  olft  endeavored  to  luake  her  under- 
stand the  little  game  he  was  playing,  and 
which  he  had  induced  the  s]>ecialist  to  be 
l>inty  to.  he  found  his  mother  adamant. 
She  had  Miss  Joy  with  her.  and  she  had 
suiiic  strength  of  mind.  She  told  ".Miss 
I  lobbs'  maid"  that  she  had  no  idea  why 
her  son  was  masquerading  in  such  an 
idiotic  lashion.  He  had  alwa\s  been,  to 
h;M'  w,iy  ot  thinking,  eccer.iric,  Ivit  a 
pi;ino  Inner — really   .    .    .

ly ..."  U'olfif  Kir.gsearl — millionaire, 
sportsm;in,  clubman  and  much  discussed

artheniiost  corner  of  the  suddenly  un- 
laniored  beach  to  have  it  out.  There, 
till  sobbing,  bobbed  hair  awry,  horn 
peclacles  discarded,  Wolff  Kingsearl 
i)\iiid  her.  He  took  her  in  his  arms, 
'truggling  tlini  her  hazy  brain  came  the

The  Letters  of  Mary 

(Continufd  from  page  17) 

the  ribs — a  snowball  hurled  with  the  per- 
fect aim  of  a  child  at  the  silk  top-hats  of 
Uncle  Sam  and  John  Bull. 

All  this  resulted  in  a  new  factor  which 
presented  itself  in  every  respectable 
household.  It  began  to  dawn  upon  the  ! 
public  thai  truly  it  was  a  wise  parent 
who  knew  his  own  child.  After  the 
weary  jjassage  of  two-score  years,  man 
had  accumulated  a  small  store  of  knowl- 
edge at  the  cost  of  much  sad  experience. 
.■\long  comes  a  child  of  seven  or  eight 
and  calmly  lays  before  him  a  more  thoro 
knowledge  of  life — and  its  issues.  We 
gasp  for  breath ! 

Mary  Miles  Minter,  in  a  letter  to  her 
mother,   written   while   she   was   looking 
forward   to   her  eighth   birthday,   writes 
the  following  poem.  i,iresenting  her  vic-« 
point  on  religion : 

"Wfin  to  Chvircli  last  Night. 

('■ee!     What  a  terrilile  PliKht. 

The  minster  Preached — 

.And  with  his  Hand.-^  hea\fn  Hcadu'd 

Declared  all   were  had— 

Bless  mcl     How  Very  sad!" 

Volumes  have  been  written  about  the 
stage,  but  to  us  it  seems  that  there  is  ab- 
solutely nothing  left  to  be  told  after 
reading  what  Miss  Minter  had  to  say 
about  it  when  she  was  seven,  in  her  poem, 
"Theatrical  Life." 

She  seemed  to  come  to  conclusions 
very  quickly,  and  having  grasped  the 
knowledge  that  certain  factors  made  uji 
the  mystery  called  life,  she  calmly  pro- 
ceeded to  take  them  for  granted  and  in  a 
matter-of-fact  way  included  them  in  her 
daily  existence.  All  this  tended  to  a  cer- 
tain a|)lomb  which  somehow  almost  over- 
comes one.  You  stand  awed  before  the 
iconoclastic  manner  in  which  she  treats 
the  emotions.  Her  ]ioeni,  "Reminding,  or 
a  Chinese  Puz7.1e,"  will  serve  to  convince 
you  tliat  you,  with  your  grey  hair,  have 
gotten  no  further  with  the  solution  of 
life: 

kemixdi.m; 

or 
.A   CHINESK   PL'ZZI.E 

Life   rcniinds  me  of  a  Chinese  piizzli- 

And  if  you  dont  look  sharp 

You'll  net   into  a  imiz/.U*. 

It   \sil]  Krip  ytm,  ami   hind  you 

-Xud   often    rcniiiu!   you. 

That  Temptation'^  arc  many 

(iood   things,  scarcely  aiiv. 

But  what  riyht  has  a  man, 

To  gral)  al!   lie  can, 

.And   then   not   content. 

iiiit  on  more  greed  lie  is  oeiii. 

Till  he  is  full   to  the  brin 

With  hi>  folly  and  shi. 

.And    Thus,   the    Hand   of    Fate   proclaims  — 

Too  Late — too   late. 

There  is  no  denying  the  fact  that  if 
iiiolion  pictures  h;i(I  not  happened  along 
al  this  time,  .Mary  .Miles  Nliiiter  might 
have  de\elope(l  into  one  of  the  shining 
lights  of  literature.  We  feel  sui'e  of  it. 
Howc\cr,  there  is  an  old  saying  that — 
er  -  er — murder  will  out — and  we  have  a 
sneaking  hope  that  some  day  when  the 
golden  hair  is  tired  of  being  curled  and 
the  Klieg  lights  have  lost  their  purple 
fascination.  Mary  Miles  Minter  will 
again  take  up  the  pen — and  perhaps 
another  Mr.  Salteena  will  be  created.

very,  very  rc^iicctfiilly.  Me  was  l)last\ 
iip-stajjc.  I  thc)Ui;lU,  and  I  was  even  niDrc 
CDcUy  and  indt'|iendoMt  lli;in  I  am  now. 
\\  hen  uc  were  introduced  he  asked  nie 
|i>  ecmii'  over  In  the  stiidio  and  sec  him. 
I  had  heard  that  he  wanted  a  leadini; 
uonian,  but  I  told  him  indifferenlly  that 
1  woidfl  \Hien  I  could  find  the  time.  (  >t' 
cou'^e.  when  I  t;"t  home  I  told  my  chum 
.ill  about  it"  (she  w.is  living  with  a  sister 
ol'  M  rs,  .\l,-irsh;dl  .Veilan),  "and  -he  u.i- 
wildly  excited.  lint  1  didn't  i;o  imlil 
llnTc  days  later. 

"lie  continuc<l  to  act  in  a  r.'ither  aloof 

«ay,    as    tho   lie    felt    himself    sujierior. 

Towards  the  last  of  nur  convcrsatifin,  be 

asl<ed  me  if  I  would  jjo  to  <linner  with 

him  the  next  evening.     I  -aid,  '.\11  riybl,' 

.as  I  had  nothinfj  else  to  do,  Inil  that  per- 

haps  he  had  better  call  iiie  on  the  'phone 

in    the    morning   and    m;ike    -lu'e.      lie 

j    looked    absolutely    slunnecl.      'In    other 

I    words,'  he  remarked,  'yon  wont  go  with 

I   me  if  you  Hnd  something  el-e  to  do  ih,-ii 

you  like  better,'  and  1  an-wered.  'Xain 

'rally  !'  " 

';        Hut    they   became    firm    friends.      lie 

would  call    for  her   every   morning  and 

take    her    to    her    studio,    the    Reliance 

j    .Majestic,   and   take   her   home   evening-. 

I    F.ach    found   that  the  other  possessed   a 

\   keen  sense  of  huinor  an<l  that  there  were 

a  great  many  things  at  which  they  coulil 

laugh  together.     They  were  married  al  a 

little  ehmxh  in   San   Iliego,   where  tbe\- 

had  gone  with  a  crowd  of  hini  peoiile  to 

see  the  opening  of  the  exposition, 

Cho|)S  were  just  being  hrnuglit  on 
when  we  heard  a  prodigious  honking, 
followed  by  a  joyous  cowboy  veil — 
b'.-e-e-e  ! — and  Rosemary  Thebv  bur-t 
into  the  room.  She  rushed  over  to  her 
chum  and  hugged  her.  "I've  got  it !"  -he 
said.  "The  dandiest  jiart!  In  'Michael 
and  His  Lost  Angels'  with  C'onwav 
Tearlc  ;"  -he  added  that  she  was  going  to 
get  a  certain  very  tiny,  very  expen-i\e 
wrist-watch  that  she  had  been  wantin': 
for  some  time.  She  had  pulled  off  her 
hat  and  joined  u-  at  'table,  but  she  w.as 
too  excited  about  her  new  part  to  think 
of  anything  else,  even  eating.  .Vfler 
luncheon  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Dillon  droiijied  in 
"Ry  the  way,"  said  Mrs.  Dillon,  "i-  il 
true  that  Viola  Dana  i-  married  to  (  Miner 
I.ocklear'" 

"\o!"  the  chums  exclaimed  toiielher, 
and  Teddy  added,  "It's  onK-  a  pvess 
story." 

It   was  al   this  psychological   moment 
that  many  "feet.steps"  were  heard  on  ihe 
front  |)orch. 
"Who  is  there?"  called  Tedd\'. 
"Mr.    .-ind    Mrs.    I.ocklear,"    came    ibe 
answer,     ;md     the     announcement     w.i 
greeted  with  a  -torm  of  laughter. 

It  was  not  only  ".Mr.  and  Mrs.  I.ock-

Still  laiighini;.  tlie  crowd  left  to  fro  to 
the  field  with  Lieutenant  l.ocklear  and 
watch  him  lake  chances  with  his  life  that 
\\nul<l  make  most  people  shudder  to  even

I  almost  forj^ot  to  say  that  Tecldy 
.Sampson  does  not  diet.  On  the  con- 
trary, she  cats  anything  she  likes  and  be- 
cause she  likes  it,  drinks  milk  with  every, 
meal  and  only  weighs  a  hundred  and  nine 
pounds,  .\notlier  thing,  when  two  he.''U 
tiful  women  have  been  chums  for  fnc 
years,  you  generally  expect  to  find  that 
one  is  a  blonde  and  the  other  a  brunette. 
In  this  case  both  arc  brunettes,  and  they 
get  along  together  very  nicely.  Teddy 
Sampson  is  n(jw  tnaking  .Sujireme  Come-

"Room  222,"  "\  Four-Cvlinder  Frame-

and  "Good-Night,  Judge." 

The  Baby-Talk  Lady

thinking  done.  That  is  not  intended  as  a 
personal  inference  about  any  one.  Of 
course,  there  are  very  real  peo|>le  in  jiic- 
turedom  who  do- very  real  thinking — I'ud 
lots  of  them.  But  it  is  a  truth  thai  the 
screen  frequently  creates  a  jiersonalitv 
that  may  .ictually  not  exist.  Sometimes 
this  is  accidental,  sometimes  deliberate. 

"The  other  day  a  feminine  interviewer 
dropped  in  to  see  me  and  she  was  genu- 
inely surprised  to  find  me,  as  she  ex- 
pressed it.  a  business-like  tailor-maile  girl, 
when  she  had  expected  to  discover  me 
curled  up  fluffily  upon  a  chaise  longue 
with  a  box  of  candy.  The  films  have 
created  a  certain  sugary  personality  for 
me,  giving  me  the  mental  status  of  Booth 
Tarkington's  'baby-talk  lady'  in  his  Billy 
Baxter  stories." 

We  frankly  admitted  the  injustice. 

"I  do  not  definitely  know  just  what 
.sort  of  roles  are  mapped  out  for  me," 
she  went  on,  discussing  her  new  .Selznick 
starring  contract.  "I  would  like  to  do 
the  sincere,  close-to-life  sort  of  drama, 
but  I  rather  think  I  am  to  do  piquant  and 
frothy,  Connie  Talmadge  sort  of  comedy. 
You  see.  it  fits  my  cinema  personalitv— 
and  one  must  live  up  to  one's  film  self."

Hy  Bf.ttv   Eari.k 

I  never  had  a  friend  like  you 
With  all  your  loveliness, 
,\nd  when  you  smile  so  trustingly 
.^nd  all  your  face  is  close  to  me, 
I  hardly  know  what  I  should  do — 
Keep  silent  or  confess. 

Confessing  love's  a  little  queer 

.\ni\  sort  o'  strange,  I  guess. 
One  should  not  love  a  friend  so  dear 

For  all  her  loveliness; 
But  when  you  put  your  arm  about 
And  swift  my  heart  turns  inside  out — 
I  hardly  know  what  I  should  do— 
I  never  had  a  friend  like  you.

MOTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC 

From  Shorthand  to  Stardom 

(Continued  from  page  60) 
intention  of  going  on  the  stage  if  the 
managers  would  let  me.  Then  I  found 
my  supply  was  cut  off  suddenly  but  effi- 
ciently. Now,  of  course,  managers  may 
admire  ambition  and  that  sort  of  thing, 
but  they  are  slow  to  discover  star  stuff 
in  a  wan,  starving  actress,  so  it  was 
'Good-by,  Liberty  Bonds,'  or  'Good-by, 
Career.'  The  bonds  were  an  accumula- 
tion of  birthday  and  Christmas  gifts,  and 
I  hated  to  part  with  them,  but  I  did,  one 
by  one.  I  couldn't  take  my  time  about 
finding  an  engagement,  either,  for  Lib- 
erty Bonds,  even  the  best  intentioned 
ones,  wont  hold  out  forever.  It  was  a 
race  between  the  bonds  and  me — and  I 
won,"  she  concluded  with  a  smile  of 
triumph. 

Her  first  engagement  was  with  "Come 
On,  Charlie,"  and  Charlie  came  on  for 
sixteen  weeks.  Then  some  one  sug- 
gested pictures  and  Miss  Taylor  started 
the  rounds  of  the  studios.  Her  debut  on 
the  screen  was  as  a  double  for  one  of  the 
Paramount  stars.  This  was  followed 
shortly  by  engagements  with  the  World 
and  Vitagraph  and  leads  in  "The  Star 
Rover"  and  "The  Return  of  Tarzan," 
and  finally  the  step  that  was  the  turning 
point  in  her  career,  her  selection  to  sup- 
port William  Farnum  in  "The  Adven- 
turer." 

"Mr.  Farnum  gave  me  so  many  valu- 
able suggestions  and  really  brought  me 
to  Mr.  Fox's  notice,"  Miss  Taylor  said. 
"I  feel  that  I  owe  this  opportunity  to 
him."    ■ 

Next  came  the  lead  in  "When  New 
York  Sleeps,"  in  which  she  was  working 
when  I  called  upon  her. 

Of  course,  Washington's  Birthday, 
Fourth  of  July  and  even  Christmas  come 
to  Wilmington,  Delaware,  just  as  they 
do  to  other  communities,  but  any  one 
will  tell  you  that  the  really  big  day  of 
the  year  is  when  a  Fox  release  brings 
Estelle  to  town.  Then  every  seat  in  the 
theater  is  filled  with  a  proud  audience 
that  boasts  in  no  low  whisper : 

"I  knew  her  when — "

undone  things,  lost  opportunities,  work  or 
play  foregone.  I  shall  have  a  farm,  I 
hope,  the  wide  country  about  me.  It  will 
be  a  mild  sort  of  fun.     Why  not?" 

I  said  that  I  couldn't  imagine  it. 

He  said,  "Why  bother  to?  It  comes. 
Take  it  easily.    I5ring  on  the  next!" 

I  asked  him,  he  seemed  so  serene, 
whether  he  was  self-confident. 

"Sufficiently  so,"  he  said ;  "too  much  is 
bad.    Worse  than  too  little." 

"Isn't  it  indispensable,"  I  inquired,  "in 
your  work?    I  always  thought  so." 

"Too  much  is  bad,"  he  reiterated ;  "im- 
mediately we  become  self-confident  to 
any  set  degree  we  cease  to  grow.  We 
know  it  all.  Our  work  stands  still  be- 
cause we  become  rigid.  We  cannot  be 
taught.  We  cannot  absorb,  and  that  is 
fatal.  A  great  many  in  this  profession 
and  in  others  would  still  be  lighting  the 
skies  if  they  had  not  become  too  much 
inflated  in  their  own  esteem  .  .  .  and 
blah !  Self-confidence  does  not  make 
for  work.  And  work  is  the  ingredient  of 
success." 

I  asked  him  whether  he  liked  his  role 
in  "The  Son-Daughter." 

I  found  that  he  did — for  two  reasons, 
chiefly ;  the  wigs  and  Confucius.  He 
had,  it  seemed,  studied  both.  He  evinced 
a  great  admiration  for  Confucius.  If 
it  had  been  a  week-end  instead  of  an 
hour's  interview,  I  might  have  come 
away  a  Confucianist  professed.  Only 
lack  of  time  and  setting  circumscribed 
the  outpouring  of  the  Confucian  doctrine. 

The  wigs — the  wigs  he  wears  as  the 
young  prince  in  "The  Son-Daughter" — • 
were  more  easily  explained,  being  visible. 
He  handled  them  with  reverent  hands, 
showing  how  even  the  pseudo  forehead 
is  attached  so  that  the  blending  may  be 
super-perfect.  He  took  a  deep  and  lov- 
ing pride  in  those  'wigs. 

A  day  or  so  later  I  saw  Mr.  Lowe  at 
a  musical  comedy.  He  was  having  a 
ripping  sort  of  time.  I  thought  of  Con- 
fuciusand  the  philosophy  of  acceptance, 
and  smiled — corroboratively.  He  has,  I 
reasoned  further,  the  very  fullest  sense 
of  the  philosophy  of  acceptance — it  em- 
braces comedy  as  well  as  tragedy,  age  as 
vi'ell  as  youth,  the  movies  as  well  as  the 
stage,  wigs,  Confucius,  good  sherry  and 
interviewers! 


MEMORIALS 
By  Charlotte  Becker 

The  songs  men  make  todav  shall  reach 
Eves  whicli  they  do  not  dream  of  yet, 

And  with  sweet,  haunting  music  teach 
Soii'.s  yet  unborn  life's  alphabet. 

The  creeds  may  totter,  grave  beliefs, 
Like  witliercd  blossoms,  fall  away; 

Tbo  beauties  fade  to  ancient  griefs 
And  prophets  change  from  day  to  day: 

Tho  wars  may  scourge  the  nation's  marts 
And  kings  and  kingdoms  rise  and  fall, 

Sheltered  within  a  myriad  hearts 
A  lyric  shall  outlast  them  all.

CLASSIC 


"Some  Boy,  That  Frenchman! 

(Continued  from  page  22) 


Georges  kept  on  fighting  and  winning 
until  he  became  champion  at  every 
weight,  from  paper  to  heavy.  As  soon  as 
he  began  to  earn  real  money,  he  started 
to  invest  a  large  part  of  it  in  educating 
himself.  When  you  talk  to  him  you'll 
find  out  what  an  intelligent  chap  he  is — 
Carpentier  gone  out  for  the  day? — Gee, 
but  that's  luck  for  you !  Come  over  to 
the  studio  tonight.  They're  going  to 
stage  a  fight.  No  women  allowed,  but, 
then,  you  dont  count." 

"Thanks,"  I  replied,  as  I  took  my  de- 
parture. 

If  you  want  to  get  all  the  men  together 
in  one  place,  advertise  a  fight.  Uncle 
Sam  tried  it  and  Robertson-Cole  fol- 
lowed suit.  When  I  arrived  at  Fort  Lee 
that  night,  I  found  the  huge  Solax  studio 
packed  to  the  doors.  Men  suspended 
themselves  from  the  roof,  draped  them- 
selves over  neighboring  church  steeples 
and  supported  themselves  upon  telegraph 
poles  and  telephone  wires.  Carpentier, 
the  European  champion,  was  to  fight, 
and  the  dream  fighters  for  miles  around 
assembled  for  the  event.  Of  course,  it 
was  only  a  moving  picture  bout  in  which 
Director  Adolfi  took  pains  to  explain 
that  the  villain  would  be  victorious  for  a 
few  rounds  and  then  Virtue,  in  the  form 
of  the  hero,  would  triumph,  and,  whoof, 
we  would  see  how  champions  really  do  it. 

After  a  few  moments'  waiting,  Car- 
pentier entered  the  ring,  and  the  great 
audience,  from  roof  to  telephone  wires, 
stood  on  its  feet  and  cheered.  He  was 
not  my  preconceived  picture  of  a  fighter 
as  he  stood  there  bowing  his  thanks.  He 
was  not  the  stage  and  screen  idea  of  a 
Frenchman,  either.  Had  he  applied  for 
an  engagement  in  that  role,  many  direc- 
tors I  know  would  have  shaken  their 
heads  and  exclaimed: 

"Not  the  type,  not  the  type!  Nothing 
like  it." 

He  is  blond,  decidedly  so,  with  hair 
that  seems  to  find  no  inducement  to  stray 
from  the  straight  and  narrow,  with  blue 
eyes,  a  very  blue  blue — so  the  publicity 
department  informed  me.  I  could  not 
distinguish  spots  of  color  from  my  par- 
ticular beam.  When  he  removed  his 
bathrobe  and  stood  there  in  his  fighting 
togs,  an  exclamation  of  envy  and  admi- 
ration went  up  from  that  assembly  of 
men.  Translated,  it  meant,  "Some  boy, 
that  Frenchman !"  In  another  instant, 
Director  Adolfi  blew  the  whistle  and 
Georges  started  to  fight.  As  the  former 
had  predicted,  his  opponent,  Herbert 
Barratt,  knocked  him  out  in  the  first  few 
rounds. 

"Ah,  this  fight's  fixed,"  a  newcomer  to 
my  beam  murmured  in  disgust. 

Thru  it  all  the  champion  was  like  a 
young  race-horse  straining  to  keep  him- 
self within  bounds,  longing  for  the  signal 
to  start  in  earnest.  The  wild  feints  he 
thrust  at  the  air  came  thick  and  fast, 
and  when  it  was  Virtue's  turn  to  triumph 
he  made  short  work  of  the  villain. 

"Hang  around,"  the  publicity  depart- 
ment advised,  noting  the  adeptness  with 

(Seventi/scven) 


which  I  had  clung  to  my  beam.    "Maybe 
you  can  catch  him  before  he  leaves." 

So  I  hung,  this  time  around  the  cham- 
pion's dressing-room  door.  I  saw  stars 
of  the  ring  pass  over  the  threshold,  and 
still  I  continued  to  hang.  A  few  £eons 
later  a  blond  boy  in  a  grey  business  suit 
appeared.  I  made  a  wild  dash  in  his 
direction. 

"Come,  Georgette,''  the  blond  boy 
called,  as  I  clutched  the  air. 

I  turned  just  in  time  to  see  an  answer- 
ing smile  in  the  eyes  of  pretty  Georgette 
Carpentier,  who  had  come  to  this  coun- 
try, a  bride,  just  a  few  weeks  before, 
and,  lo,  the  Carpentier  family  had  dis- 
appeared somewhere  in  Fort  Lee. 

"Gus  Wilson,  his  trainer,  says  you  may 
talk  to  him  at  nine  o'clock  tomorrow 
morning  at  the  Biltmore,"  the  publicity 
department  whispered  in  my  ear. 

We  were  there  on  the  dot,  the  depart- 
ment and  I. 

"Tell  me  about  Carpentier  and  the 
war,"  I  suggested,  while  we  were  waiting 
for  suite  120  to  answer. 

"He  was  in  it  for  four  years,"  the  de- 
partment answered.  "He  was  fulfilling 
some  fight  contracts  in  England  when  it 
broke  out.  He  hurried  back  to  France 
and  entered  the  air  service.  Of  course, 
he  started  doing  stunts  immediately.  He 
didn't  win  his  medals,  tho,  as  quickly  as 
some  chaps.  The  commander  wanted  to 
be  sure  there  would  be  no  room  for  an 
accusation  of  partiality  to  the  young 
aviator,  the  favorite  of  France.  One 
day  he,  the  commander,  was  watching  a 
fight  away  up  in  the  sky  between  a 
French  plane  and  two  German  planes. 

"  'When  that  fighter  comes  down — 
whoever  he  is,'  he  said,  indicating  the 
distant  dot,  'we'll  decorate  him.' 

"When  the  French  plane  landed  he 
found  that  the  dot  was  none  other  than 
Georges  Carpentier. 

"For  about  a  year  Georges  was  on  sick- 
leave  and  acted  as  physical  instructor  to 
the  men  in  back  of  the  lines. 

"Word  from  suite  120.  Mr.  Carpen- 
tier will  be  sleeping  until  ten  o'clock, 
then  he  must  go  out  immediately.  Other- 
wise, he  would  gladly  see  you.  If  you 
will  return  at  six  this  evening " 

At  six  I  was  again  at  the  Biltmore, 
armed  with  a  letter  from  Robertson-Cole 
to  prove  that  I  had  no  designs  upon  the 
young  fighter's  life  or  upon  the  Bilt- 
more's  silverware.  This  time  I  suc- 
ceeded in  invading  suite  120.  From  my 
position  in  the  tiny  outer  reception-room 
I  heard  sport  topics  passed  back  and 
forth  by  male  voices  in  the  adjoining 
apartment.  Presently  Trainer  Wilson 
and  Manager  DesCamps  indicated  that 
they  were  at  my  service.  In  the  other 
room  I  could  discern,  "as  thru  a  glass, 
darkly,"  young  Georges  reading  the  fight 
news.  I  threw  a  question  into  the  air. 
It  landed  somewhere  in  the  suite.  Mr. 
Wilson  caught  it  and  translated  it  to  Mr. 
DesCamps.  He  listened  and  then  smiled. 
I  waited.  I  tried  again — the  same  result.

The  Screen  Year  in  Review 

{Continued  from  page  45) 
The  season's  histrionic  level  has  been 
singularly  high.  First  of  all,  we  place 
Betty  Compson's  superb  playing  of  the 
greedy  and  sensuous  Rose  of  "The 
Miracle  Man,"  the  underworld  girl 
whose  spirit  finally  awakens.  Here  was 
a  vibrant  and  human  portrayal  worthy 
of  the  highest  praise.  Mary  Pickford's 
dear  and  touching  Pollyanna  wrung  our 
hearts.  Shall  we  ever  forget  the  moment 
when  she  steps  from  her  wheel-chair  and 
walks  ? 

There  were  other  admirable  perform- 
ances. John  Cumberland's  lonely  and 
sacrificing  Jimmy  Dodd  in  "The  Gay 
Old  Dog"  was  splendid  in  its  subtlety. 
Charles  Ray  invested  a  half-dozen  incon- 
sequential plays  with  life  thru  his  match- 
less sincerity.'  Bert  Lytell  was  excellent 
as  the  arch-cynic,  Charles  Steel,  in  "The 
Right  of  Way."  John  Barrymore  con- 
tributed a  flashing  and  haunting  perform- 
ance in  the  ghoulish  "Dr.  Jekyll  and  Mr. 
Hyde." 

Then,  too.  we  might  mention  several  of 
Thomas  Meighan's  characterizations. 
Striking,  also,  were  Vera  Gordon's  lov- 
able Jewish  mother  in  "Humoresque" ; 
poor  little  Clarine  Seymour's  piquant 
half-caste  girl,  rife  with  the  love  of  life, 
in  "The  Idol  Dancer";  Mae  Murray's 
butterfly  Russian  in  "On  With  the 
Dance' ;  Mae  Busch's  playing  of  the  gris- 
ette  in  "The  Devil's  Passkey";  Myrtle 
Stedman's  sincere  Cherry  Mellotte  in 
•'The  Silver  Horde"  ;  Xoah  Beery's  well- 
thought-out  characterization  of  "The  Sea 
Wolf"  ;  Lon  Chaney's  remarkable  charac- 
ter work  in  "The  Miracle  Man"  and 
"X'ictory" ;  Gibson  Gowland's  primitive 
French-Canadian  in  "The  Right  of  Way" 
and  Lewis  Stone's  dual  playing  in  "The 
River's  End."  Also  we  would  add  Hedda 
Hopper's  playing  in  "The  Man  Who 
Lost  Himself." 

Probably  the  biggest  individual  ad- 
vance of  the  year— at  least  in  the  item  of 
popularity — was  registered  by  Harold 
Lloyd,  whose  farces  have  hit  a  high  aver- 


age. Lloyd  is  rapidly  overtaking  Chap- 
lin. Wallie  Reid  has  been  growing  stead- 
ily in  favor,  now  that  he  is  devoting  him- 
self entirely  to  swift-moving  comedy. 
Charles  Ray  has  lifted  himself  to  the 
acting  leadership  of  the  drama,  this  in 
the  face  of  fearful  vehicles.  Richard 
Barthelmess  is  fast  developing  along  the 
lines  of  romanticism — and  he  is  now  a 
star.  Thomas  Meighan  made  steady 
progress  all  year. 

Of  the  feminine  contingent,  Clarine 
Seymour  seemed  most  promising,  just 
when  death  entered  the  field.  Wanda 
Hawley,  Gloria  Swanson,  Bebe  Daniels 
and  one  or  two  other  promising  younger 
folk  of  the  previous  year  already  have 
their  names  in  stellar  electric  lights. 
Constance  Binney,  to  our  way  of  think- 
ing, bids  fair  to  achieve  limitless  popu- 
larity if  she  guides  her  celluloid  career 
carefully. 

Here  a  few  words  about  the  cinema 
leaders  are  in  order.  Mary  Pickford  did 
her  finest  work  since  "Stella  Maris"  with 
"Pollyanna."  Douglas  Fairbanks  is  still 
young  America's  idol.  Charles  Chaplin 
did  nothing  in  particular  all  year.  Here 
is  comic  genius  going  to  waste.  Please, 
Mr.  Chaplin,  do  something  about  Char- 
lie! William  S.  Hart  is  still  the  reform- 
ing bad  man.  His  nearest  above-the- 
average  vehicle  was  "Wagon  Tracks,"  at 
least  atmospheric  of  frontier  days. 

Xorma  Talmadge  has  had  one  namby- 
pamby  character  after  another  all  year. 
Right  now  she  should  be  at  the  zenith  of 
her  career.  We  repeat  our  words  of  last 
year  with  added  emphasis.  Miss  Tal- 
madge needs  real  dramatic  material  or — 
How  long  can  she  maintain  her  present 
popularity  if  she  persists  in  milk-and- 
water  vehicles?  Nazimova  has  done 
nothing  distinctive  all  year.  Here  is  an 
instance  of  temperament  running  wild. 
We  have  well-nigh  given  up  hope  of  ever 
seeing  another  "Revelation." 

Now  for  specific  comments  upon  the 
various  releasing  organizations : 

Famous  Players-Lasky  still  easily 
maintain  far  and  away  the  best  average 
in  general  workmanship.  The  once  so 
popular  Marguerite  Clark  seems  to  be 
voluntarily  dropping  from  sight,  having 
deliberately  chosen  retirement.  Elsie 
Ferguson,  sometimes  lacking  stories  and 
other  times  failing  to  have  sympathetic 
direction,  has  gone  backward  rather  than 
ahead.  Her  best  vehicle  was  "The  Wit- 
ness for  the  Defence,"  well  done  by 
George  Fitzmaurice.  Charlie  Ray  was 
steadily  handed  inane  scripts,  but  he 
triumphed  thru  his  own  unique  ability. 
Wallie  Reid  is  at  last  getting  the  right 
sort  of  stuff.  Dorothy  Gish's  bright  and 
boisterous  comedy  methods  did  a  lot  to 
overcome  fearful  material.  Dorothy 
Dalton  continues  her  way  thru  hectic 
emotionalism,  minus  her  old  clinging  ap- 
peal. Ethel  Clayton  is  still  the  victim  of 
the  scenario  department.  Robert  War- 
wick, no  longer  a  F.  P.-L.  star,  appar- 
ently failed  to  "get  over."  \^iolet  Hem- 
ing  as  yet  has  not  established  herself  at 
all    definitelv.      Brvant    ^\'ashburn    sud-

denly  began  to  get  good  stories  just  be- 
fore he  left  the  fold.  Another  "Six  Best 
Cellars"  would  have  lifted  him  to  the 
forefront  of  comedians.  Mrs.  Irene 
Castle  still  appears  now  and  then. 

Enid  Bennett  has  somewhat  improved, 
but  at  no  time  has  she  electrified  in  any- 
thing. The  Maurice  Tourneur  produc- 
tions have  been  interesting  series  of  pho- 
tographically beautiful  tableaux  —  and 
nothing  more.  "Treasure  Island"  was 
his  best,  "Victory"  his  worst.  The  last 
completelv  missed  the  spirit  of  Conrad. 
Douglas  MacLean  got  away  in  a  flying 
start  with  "23j-j  Hours  Leave"  and 
hasn't  equalled  it  since. 

Metro — Every  effort  seems  to  have 
been  made  to  put  over  Bert  Lytell,  who 
at  first  seemed  rather  light  for  the  big 
material  entrusted  to  him.  But  he  justi- 
fied their  faith  with  "The  Right  of  Way" 
and  did  very  well  with  ".Alias  Jimmy 
Valentine."  Metro  believes  it  has  a  real 
find  in  Alice  Lake.  So  far  we  pronounce 
her  competent — and  nothing  more.  Metro 
started  the  year  by  seeming  on  the  verge 
of  doing  interesting  things,  but.  with  the 
entrance  of  new  capital,  the  trend  is  now 
franklv  towards  melodrama.  We  cer- 
tainly wish  they  would  give  better  oppor- 
tunities to  May  Allison.  Viola  Dana 
continues  about  the  same.  We  have 
already  commented  anent  Nazimova. 

Selznick — A  youthful  battery  of  stars 
appearing  in  passable  stories  directed  by 
less  passable  directors.  Our  chief  interest 
in  the  forthcoming  year  centers  in  Wil- 
liam Faversham's  work  under  the  direc- 
tion of  Hobart  Henley  and  in  what 
Louise  Huff  may  do.  The  stolidly 
piquant  Olive  Thomas  is  apparently  the 
most  popular  of  the  Selznick  constella- 
tion, altho  the  powers-that-be  there  seem 
to  expect  big  things  of  Elaine  Hammer- 
stein.  We  doubt  it.  Eugene  O'Brien — 
my !  my !  Owen  Moore — we  like  him 
better  than  we  did  last  year. 

First   National — Of   Norma   we   have 

spoken.     Constance  Talmadge  continues 

along  the  line   of   thin-ice  comedies,   to 

which    she    lends   a    sparkle   and   verve.

CLASSIC 

"Some  Boy,  That  Frenchman!" 

(Continued  from  page  77) 
Finally,  I  plunged  desperately  into  the 
details  furnished  by  the  department.  I 
repeated  tlie  story  of  the  champion  in- 
structor's paying  the  boy's  daily  wages 
to  Pere  Carpentier,  only  to  learn  that 
there  was  some  mistake,  that  the  latter 
had  always  cooperated  in  the  boy's  train- 
ing. Another  good  human  interest  touch 
switched  onto  a  busy  line. 

"y\sk  him  about  his  bride,  Madame 
Carpentier,"  I  pleaded.  "How,  when 
and  where  did  he  meet  her?  Was  it  a 
childhood  or  a  wartime  romance?  Was 
she ?" 

But  my  "French  in  Twenty  Lessons" 
was  alread}'  repeating  my  question. 

"He  says  he  would  rather  not  discuss 
his  private  life,"  was  the  answer. 

"No,  no,  gentlemen ;  I  appreciate  the 
honor,  but  I  really  cant  accept  Mr.  Car- 
pentier's  croix  de  guerre  or  his  military 
medal.  Yes,  yes,  I  shall  be  delighted  to 
drop  in  at  the  Carpentier  Villa,  Lens, 
France,  for  lunch  some  morning  the  Big 
Chief  can  spare  me  from  the  office." 

With  that  I  cast  another  lingering  look 
at  the  blond  back  of  George's  blond  head 
and  exited  with  the  other  members  of  the 
chorus,  smiling.

Good-looking  enough  to  cause  a  flutter 
among  the  feminine  contestants  is  George 
Sheldon  Smith,  of  5612  Fountain  Ave- 
nue, Hollywood,  California.  George  has 
had  some  stock  experience  and  has  played 
small  bits  in  pictures.  He  has  blaclc  hair, 
brown  eves  and  olive  complexion. 

Ella  Guerite  Maxwell,  of  22  E.  48th 
Street,  New  York  City,  is  a  Ziegfeld

and  verv  fair  complexion. 

Madeleine  M.  Glass.  Box  532,  To- 
ronto, Canada,  has  had  a  small  amount 
of  stock  and  film  experience.  She  is  a 
very  pretty  blonde  with  dark-blue  eyes. 

A  Swedish  beauty  now  living  at  50 
Cathedral  Place,  New  York  City,  is  Jean 
Selkird.  Miss  Selkird  has  had  some 
vaudeville  experience.  Her  hair  is  a 
natural  golden  blonde,  her  eyes  are  dark 
blue  and  her  complexion  is  fair. 

THE  MOVIE  ENCYCLOPEDIA 

Elizaceth  R,,  \V.^SH.— You  ask  if  Olga 
Petrova  ever  played  on  the  screen  with  Rich- 
ard Barthelmess.  They  both  appeared  in  the 
opening  scene  of  "A  Dream  of  Fair  Women," 
Tliat's  all.  Madame  Petrova  is  expected  back 
in  pictures.    We  hope  she  comes  back. 

Canadian  Admirer. — Yon  say  you  like  the 
Classic  better  than  the  Magazine  because  we 
have  had  Blanche  Sweet,  Grace  Cunard  and 
Mabel  Normand  on  the  cover.  You  want 
Grace  Cunard  back  in  a  serial.  She  is  playing 
in  a  two-reel  western.  Remember  how  she 
could  ride  a  horse?  So  you  think  Chaplin 
ought  to  change  his  make-up  now.  I  dont 
know.  Easter  Walters  was  Hilda  in  "The 
Tiger's  Trail." 

Rose  S.  Bremerton.— You  are  right,  mv 
mistake.  I  stand  corrected.  Thanks  for  all 
the  good  things  you  say  about  me.

Bubble  Grains  in  Milk 

Don't  put  aside  your  Puffed  Grains  when  breakfast  ends  in  summer. 
Children  want  them  all  day  long,  and  there's  nothing  better  for  them. 

The  supreme  dish  for  luncheon  or  for  supper  is  Puffed  Wheat  in  milk. 
The  airy  grains — puffed  to  eight  times  normal  size — taste  like  food  con- 
fections.    Yet  every  morsel  is  whole  wheat  with   every  food  cell   blasted. 

The  finest  foods  ever  created 

Puffed  Wheat,  Puffed  Rice  and  Corn  Puffs  are  the  finest  grain  foods  in 
existence. 

Never  were  cereals  so  enticing.  The  grains  are  fairy-like  in  texture,  the 
flavor  is  like  nuts.    They  seem  like  tidbits,  made  only  to  entice. 

Yet  they  are  major  foods,  with  every  food  cell  steam-exploded,  so 
digestion  is  easy  and  complete. 

They  will  take  the  place  of  pastries,  sweets,  etc.,  if  you  serve  them  all 
day  long.     And  at  meal-time  they  will  make  whole-grain  foods  tempting.

Puffed  Grains  taste  like  airy

doubly  delightful. 

Puffed  Grains  are  made  by  Prof.  Anderson's  process.  A  hundred  million 
steam  explosions  occur  in  every  kernel.  They  are  the  best-cooked  grain  foods 
in  existence.  Serve  all  three  kinds,  at  all  hours,  in  all  the  ways  folks  like  them.

MOTION  PICTURE 

The  Low- Brow  Playwright  Speaks 

(Continued  from  page  26) 

I    did    not    know    a    continuity    from    a 
fishing-pole.  . 

••I  foresee  the  steady  lessening  of  the 
director's  importance  and  the  steady  as- 
cendency of  the  author.  Of  course,  these 
writers  must  learn  the  technical  details  of 
scenario  building.  It  will  not  be  neces- 
sary for  him  to  work  out  a  complete  con- 
tinuity, but  he  should  be  able  to  take  the 
finished  script  and  point  out  every  weak- 
ness, .  ,  ,  , 

"The  successful  dramatist  can  quickly 
master  this.  What  director  except  the 
two  or  three  leaders,  perhaps— knows 
more  of  audience  psychology  than  James 
Forbes  or  Winchell  Smith.  The  tech- 
nique of  laughter,  for  instance,  is  just 
the  same  on  the  screen,  depending  upon 
the  sudden  turn  from  grave  to  gay,  or 
the  funnily  developed  situation. 

"Stage  farces  do  not  adapt  to  the  films 
for  the   reason  that   they  are   too   fast. 
The    screen    demands    a    simple    story     - 
without    involved    characters.      On    the    j 
other  hand,   the   success   of   a   foothght   1 
farce  depends  upon  swift  movement,  the 
ramifications  of  plot  and  clever  dialog  or 
characterization.       The     most     valuable 
stage  laugh  comes  from  a  quirk  of  char- 
acter. 

"In  the  films  there  seems  to  be  no  time 
to  develop  characterization.     Just  as  in  a    , 
rapidly  moving  stage  melodrama,  there  is   i 
no  time  for  sidelights,  character  phrasing 
or  tricks  of  manner, 

"To  my  way  of  thinking,  one  of  the 
two  greatest  weaknesses  of  the  present- 
day  photoplay  is  the  lack  of  clearness  of 
characterization.  No  one  seems  to  have 
thought  it  necessary.  Of  course,  the 
brevity  of  a  photoplay  makes  this  diffi- 
cult But  it  is  becoming  steadily  more 
necessary.  The  plays  that  Hve  on  the 
screen  are  the  ones  possessing  clear-cut 
characterizations. 

"You  know  the  fundamental  question 
that  the  scenarist  must  ask  himself  is  the 
same  that  the  playwright  puts  to  him- 
self 'Will  they  believe  it?'  Both  ot 
them  must  lav  their  story  foundations  so 
that  the  audience  will  travel  with  the 
characters,  feeling  their  emotions  and  re- 
actions. Then  the  audience  will  believe. 
The  only  wav  to  achieve  this  is  by  clearly 
drawn  characterizations,  so  human  that 
folk  out   front  will  say,  'Why,   I   know 

"The  other  great  weakness  of  the  1920 
photoplay  is  the  slowing  up  of  the  story 
thru  close-ups  and  unnecessary  shots. 
The  close-up  should  be  used  rarely— only 
to  accent.  I  know  the  close-up  is  the 
safeguard  of  the  incompetent  director, 
for  the  cutting  man  can  use  it  to  bridge 
over  all  sorts  of  slips  and  gaps.  I  also 
know  that  stars  'demand'  close-ups.  l.ut 
stars  are  not  so  awfully  important  in  the 
films  nowadays  and  they  are  steadily 
irrowing  less  important.  I  know  a  lot  ot 
players  will  resent  that  statement,  but  1 
believe  it."  , 

Mr  Veiller  does  not  think  that  the 
thought  picture  will  ever  be  popular 
"Where  is  the  audience  for  the  thought

CLASSIC 

drama  in  our  spoken  theater?  I  honestly 
believe  a  good  play  has  very  small  chance 
of  success  in  America.  The  success  this 
season  and  last  of  such  plays  as  'Abra- 
liam  Lincoln,'  'John  Ferguson'  and  'Jane 
Clegg'  I  attribute  to  the  American  reac- 
tion against  the  conventional  stage  piece. 
Americans  are  not  mentally  suited  for 
the  propaganda  or  slow-moving  psycho- 
analysis stage  drama.  It  is  possible 
abroad — in  older  countries — but  here  the 
theater  is  a  thing  of  amusement  and  not 
of  education.  If  our  playgoers  com- 
plain, they  have  but  themselves  to  blame. 
Today  there  is  plainly  no  definite  place 
for  the  intellectual  drama  in  this  coun- 
try. Some  excellent  plays  have  suc- 
ceeded in  New  York.  But  what  happens 
when  they  start  out  from  the  metropolis  ? 
'John  Ferguson'  wilted  away  after  a 
couple  of  weeks  in  Boston,  Philadelphia 
and  Chicago. 

"No,  I  am  sure  the  theater  is  just  an 
amusement  for  Americans.  I  believe  the 
same  thing  is  absolutely  true  of  the 
screen.  But,  of  course,  I  am  a  very  low- 
brow person.  To  me  the  ideal  motion 
picture  play — or  spoken  drama — is  one 
possessing  a  measure  of  beauty  and 
speed  with  a  consistently  told  story." 

Mr.  Veiller  discussed  the  widely  ex- 
pressed fear  that  the  screen  is  gripping 
the  stage  and  sapping  its  vitality,  thru 
the  fact  that  stage  producers  are  now 
only  presenting  plays  which  they  can  sell 
to  the  screen.  This,  they  reason,  will  turn 
the  stage  into  a  sort  of  foundry  for  melo- 
dramas adaptable  to  the  films.  Mr. 
Veiller  disposes  of  this  fear  briefly. 

"There  is  no  question  that  the  average 
stage  producer  can  now  operate  without 
a  single  possibility  of  loss  entering  into 
his  calculations."  he  says.  "If  a  play 
fails  on  Broadway,  he  can  sell  it  to  the 
screen  for  at  least  the  amount  he  lost 
upon  it  in  footlight  form.  On  the  other 
hand,  if  it  succeeds,  he  can  sell  it  for  a 
high  price,  even  as  much  as  $100,000. 

"But,  remember,  if  stage  producers 
present  only  plays  of  a  certain  movie 
mold,  they  will  quickly  court  failure  on 
the  spoken  stage.  No  sane-minded  man- 
ager is  going  to  do  that.  He  will  pro- 
duce the  thing  that  will  succeed  behind 
the  footlights,  knowing  that  the  films  will 
take  it  for  a  high  price  and  adapt  it 
anyway."

Gossip  of  the  Pacific  Coast 

(Continued  from  page  62) 
play,  "A  Successful  Calamity."  In  ad- 
tiitio'n,  he  has  loaned  his  wife,  Florence 
Vidor',  to  Thomas  H.  Ince  to  play  oppo- 
site Lewis  Stone  in  "Beau  Revel."  And 
there  have  been  persistent  rumors  that 
Vidor  is  to  do  that  high-speed  comedy 
of  Winchell  Smith  and  John  Golden, 
"Turn  to  the  Right."  Which,  consider- 
ing that  Vidor  has  pledged  himself  to 
manufacture  only  four  film  dramas  a 
year,  is  bound  to  keep  him  more  or  less 
actively  engaged. 

Another    famous    stage    success    that 
has  been  photo-ized  is  "The  New  Hen- 
rietta," and  William  H.  Crane  was  se- 
lected by  Metro  as  the  logical  star.    The 
famous   actor   is   now   wed   to   picture- 
making  and  has  finished  a  second  pro- 
duction, called  "The  Saphead."    And,  by 
the  way,  Mav  Allison's  first  appearance 
on  the  screen  was  in  the  Famous  Players 
production  of  "David  Harum"  with  Mr. 
Crane.      Now    she's    a    first-magnitude 
star  and  Mr.  Crane  is  working  on  the 
same  lot  with  her.    You  simply  ought  to 
see   them   eating  lunch   together   m  the 
studio  cafeteria! 

But  what  has  created  more  public  in- 
terest perhaps  than  anything  else  hap- 
pening latelv  in  the  film  colony  was  the 
contest  conducted  by  Thomas  H.  Ince 
in  conjunction  with  a  local  newspaper. 
The  idea,  as  worked  out,  was  to  secure 
new  types  for  the  Ince  pictures— to  have 
readei^s  of  the  daily  appear  at  the  studio 
for  screen  tests.  Ten  persons  were  se- 
lected. Ince  has  said  that  he  will  give 
them  the  fateful  opportunity  before  the 
camera.  Whether  or  not  they  make  stars 
remains  to  be  seen,  but  the  entire  scheme 
occupied  so  much  space  in  the  newspa- 
per that  even  blase,  movie-saturated  Los 
Angeles  sat  up  and  took  notice. 

And  speaking  of  Ince  reminds  me  that 
the  co-star  team  of  Douglas  MacLean 
and  Doris  Mav  have  split  professionally. 
MacLean  is  now  starring  in  his  own 
right  and  I  haven't  been  able  to  find  out 
what'  Miss  May  is  going  to  do.  At  any 
rate,  Mac's  initial  starring  vehicle  is  a 
yarn  to  be  known  as  "The  Yancona  Yol- 
lies"  which  has  something  to  do  with 
barnyards,  country  life  and  fancy 
chickens. 

\nd    Maurice   Tourneur   has    a   riew 
leading   lady— Barbara   Bedford.     Miss 
Bedford  is  a  delightful,  wholesome  sort 
of  girl,  who  looks  so  much  like  PrisciUa 
Dean  that  she  is  continually  being  mis- 
taken   for    "The    Virgin    of    Stamboul 
heroine.      Whereby   hangs   a   tale.      For 
months  she  was  an  "extra     on  the  Uni- 
versal lot.     She  wandered  over  to  the 
Tourneur     set     to     watch     the     exotic 
Frenchman  direct.     He  liked  her  intelli- 
gent looks,  made  a  screen  test  of  her, 
signed  her  for  three  years  and  now  the 
publicity  man  is  working  overtime  to  get 
her  picture  into  the  papers.     Such  is  the 
leap  to  stardom— and  such,  may  I  add, 
is  the  good  fortune  of  but  one  of  about 
every    twenty    thousand    screen    honor 
aspirants.

The 

Motion  Picture 
Magazine 

Every  person  thruout  the 
country,  who  is  at  all  in- 
terested in  the  movies,  will 
rejoice  over  the  September 
issue  of  The  Motion  Picture 
Magazine. 

It  exceeds  each  previous 
issue  in  a  great  many  respects. 
It  has  a  larger  number  of 
interesting  stories;  it  carries 
the  most  beautiful  photo- 
graphs of  the  stars  ever  pub- 
lished; it  furnishes  a  news  in- 
terest about  the  players  that 
will  delight  the  reader, — in 
short,  it  will  mark  an  epoch  in 
its  own  interesting  history. 

You  will  laugh  over  the 
funny  interview  that  Gladys 
Hall  had  with  Connie  Tal- 
madge  not  so  long  ago. 

You  will  be  thrilled  at  the 
intimate  biography  which 
Ethel  Roseman  writes  of 
William  Farnum. 

You  will  admire  the  new 
photographs,  and  become  very 
interested  in  the  history  of 
Marion  Davies  as  written  by 
Adele  Whitely  Fletcher. 

James  Fredericks  has  inter- 
viewed Hobart  Henley,  the 
director  who  now  stands  in 
the  foremost  rank  of  directors. 

The  popular  vampire, 
Louise  Glaum,  has  been  inter- 
viewed by  Betsy  Bruce. 

The  novelizations  are  of 
the  b.e  s  t  pictures  of  the 
month;  the  photographs  are 
the  most  artistic  that  can  be 
obtained.

Bill  Hart's  Dream  Home 

(Continued  from  page  47) 

contentedly  grazing  over  those  pastures. 

"I'eing  practical.  I  am  making  an  ex- 
haustive study  of  irrigation  as  the 
means  to  the  end  of  realizing  all  this.  I 
love  Dakota,  the  land  of  my  boyhood,  but 
the  long,  cruel  winters  cause  so  much 
suffering  among  the  cattle,  I  couldn't 
stand  that,  so  I  am  turning  my  eyes 
toward  the  Southwest.  Here  the  one 
difficulty  is  lack  of  water,  but  irrigation 
solves  that." 

"And  it  must  be  cattle?"  I  asked. 

"Oh,  yes,  absolutely;  that  is  part  of 
the  big  'dream.'  There  is  just  one  draw- 
back to  that  business,  the,"  and  the  se- 
rious eyes  looked  squarely  into  mine.  "I 
know  very  well  that  when  I  have  watched 
a  herd  of  cattle  grow  until  they  have  be- 
come splendid  specimens  of  beef — that  I 
will  never  be  able  to  part  with  them — to 
think  of  having  them  killed,"  and  the 
big-hearted  man  laughed  a  little  ruefully. 

"Seriously,  will  you  ever  be  able  to 
give  up  motion  pictures?"  My  question 
was  prompted  by  a  glance  around  the 
little  study,  which  bore  silent  witness  to 
the  many  triumphs  of  this  film  idol  who 
has  blazed  an  artistic  trail  by  establishing 
a  true  type  of  Western  character.  He 
has  portrayed  the  rugged  life  of  a  dra- 
matic period  of  the  country's  develop- 
ment which  is  now  fast  disappearing, 
and  thereby  causing  his  pictures,  those 
.splendid  pictorial  studies,  to  be  viewed  in 
the  light  of  historical  episodes. 

"Absolutely,"  and  Mr.  Hart's  reply 
was  emphatic.  "Not  that  I  do  not  ap- 
preciate them ;  in  fact,  that  is  the  very 
reason  I  am  giving  them  up.  When  a 
man  has  put  every  ounce  of  energy, 
every  thought  center  into  his  work  for 
over  twenty  years,  you  must  realize  that 
he  cannot  keep  it  up  forever — I'm  going 
to  quit  while  the  quitting  is  good.  This 
is  not  alone  for  my  own  benefit,  but  for 
the  very  thing  I  try  to  represent — the 
virile  West.  If  I  were  to  let  up  in  my 
efforts,  that  which  has  been  my  life  work 
would  suffer,  and  I  know  nature  too  well 
not  to  know  that  it  will  demand  a  price. 

"There  will  be  many  interests  to  fill 
my  time.  Probably  Sister  Mary  and  I 
shall  both  write.  She  is  such  a  very 
wonderful  woman.  Her  well-trained 
mind  has  the  keenest  sense  of  dramatic 
values.  I  have  alwaj'S  considered  her 
my  best  critic,  confident  that  she  really 
knew.  We're  great  pals,  too,"  and  he 
beamed  upon  the  portrait  above  his  desk. 

So  William  Hart  is  cheerfully  plan- 
•ning  a  future — with  his  dream  ranch — a 
desert  waste  reclaimed  thru  irrigation — 
his  real  home — his  herds  of  cattle — and 
his  pen!

is  not  an  old  man  at  all.  but  a  younj?  lady.  I 
would  not  thus  give  away  on  her  if  her  de-

mine.  Oh  yes,  I  am  living  in  my  hall  room

Chet  Withey:  Builder  of 
Romance 


By 
FAITH   SERVICE 


tic  searchings  of  the  Chatham,  is  heard  to  observe  plaintively  that  she  had 
'phoned  Mr.  Withey  at  Mamaroneck  eight  times  that  very  day.  She  hadn't 
been  able  to  reach  him  any  one  of  the  eight  times,  but  then  .  .  .  Respon- 
sively,  the  patient  interviewer  with  the  Christian  martyr  air  is  heard  to 
reply  that  she  might  have  expected  this  sort  of  thing  from  a  star  .  .  .  but 
from  a  director  .  .  .  She  concludes,  with  a  sigh,  that  she  supposed  he 
has  temperament.  The  P.  A.  remarks  that  she  never  would  have  thought 
it,  he  has  always  acted  so  normal  .   .   .  but  then  .   .   . 

At  about  nine-thirty,  rather  limp,  the  P.  A.  and  the  interviewer  drift 
into  the  dining-room.  Disconsolately,  they  order  scallops,  the  while  the 
P.  A.,  with  grim  intent,  supplies  the  intei-viewer  with  some  sort  of 
article  by  Director  Withey  on  the  dignity  of  the  films.     Between  scallops, 

the  interviewer  perused  the  digni- 
fied article  on  the  subject  of  dig- 
nity. And  between  reiterated  trips 
to  the  'phone  booth  the  wild-eyed 
P.  A.  supplied  fragmentary  bits  of 
informative  knowledge  anent  Mr. 
Withey. 

".\t  present,"  she  said,  "he  is  di- 
recting   'Romance,'    with    Doris 
Keane.     He  is  most  enthusiastic 
(Continued  on  page  86) 


Chet  Withey  begaii  his  career  as 
an  actor,  usually  playing  villains, 
then  he  began  to  write  photo- 
plays and  play  in  them.  He 
did  this  for  two  years  at  the 
Griffith  studio  in  Hollywood, 
and  there  his  loyalty  and  real 
ability  came  to  the  fore,  and 
direction  was  the  inevitable  next 
step.  Above,  Mr.  Withey,  him- 
self. Center,  directing  Doris 
Keane  in  "Romance,"  and,  be- 
low, going  over  the  script  with 
Norma  Talmadge  and  Conway 
Tearle  in  "She  Loves  and  Lies" 


WE  hesitated  for  some  time  as  to 
whether  the  following  had  best  be 
narrated  to  a  gaping  and  incredu- 
lous public  in  the  form  of  a  one-act  play, 
a  treatise,  a  diary,  a  lamentation  or  a 
psalm.  In  any  of  these  directions  there 
were  possibilities  ajiparent. 

The  time  was  eight-thirty  of  a  mild 
evening  in  early  .\pril.  The  place  was 
the  lobby  of  the  Hotel  Chatham,  and  the 
characters  participating,  or  supposed  to 
be  participating,  were  a  wild-eyed  P.  A., 
an  interviewer  with  a  patient  smile  and 
the  general  attitude  of  I-am-used-to- 
this-sort-of-thing,  and  a  young  and  rising 
director  conspicuous  by  his  absence.

Make  Yourself  Fit 

It's  the  only  way  to  win  out — 
it's  the  only  way  to  get  any  real 
happiness  out  of  life.  What's  the 
use  of  living  at  all,  if  you  wake 
up  each  morning  feeling  rotten, 
with  your  muscles  aching,  your 
nerves  in  a  frazzle,  a  weight  in 
your  chest  and  an  ache  in  your 
head — unfit  for  either  work  or 
play?  You  can't  be  happy  while  in  that  condition;  you 
can't  make  your  wife  or  anyone  else  happy;  nobody 
wants  you  around.  It's  the  well,  strong,  happy,  cheer- 
ful man  who  makes  friends  that  help  him  on  in  the 
world.

over  this  and  over  Miss  Keane.  He  be- 
gan, you  know,  as  an  actor,  usually  play- 
ing villains,  but  once,  be  tells  this  with 
great  pride,  playing  the  role  of  a  Father 
Superior  of  the  Franciscan  Order. 
Then  he  began  to  write  photoplays  and 
play  in  them.  He  did  this  for  two  years 
at  the  Griffith  Hollywood  studio,  and 
there  his  loyalty  and  his  real  ability  came 
to  the  fore,  as  such  things  do,  and  direc- 
tion was  the  inevitable  next  step." 

The  phrase  "next  step"  then  suggested 
the  'phone  booth  again  to  the  P.  A.,  and 
when  she  returned  it  was  with  a  beati- 
fied countenance  to  inform  me  that  she 
had  "got"  him  and  that  he  would  be 
right  over.  "He  has  an  apartment  in 
town,  you  see,"  she  explained,  "besides 
his  home  in  Westchester.  It's  only 
around  the  corner.  He'll  be  here-  at 
once." 

\Yhat  with  the  record  just  partially 
supplied  me  and  the  dignified  article,  et 
a!.,  I  expected  a  reverend  person  with 
many  theories  and  much  demeanor  .  .  . 
Well  .    .   .  ! 

Before  the  arrival,  however,  (which, 
by  the  way,  was  not  "at  once"),  I  gleaned 
the  further  arresting  knowledge  that  Mr. 
Withey  co-authored  with  Roy  Summer- 
ville  in  writing  "The  Devil's  Needle," 
featuring  Norma  Talmadge  and  Tully 
Marshall ;  that  he  directed  "The  Old 
Folks  at  Home,"  starring  Sir  Herbert 
Beerbohm-Tree ;  also  "On  the  Quiet," 
with  John  Barrymore,  and  "She  Loves 
and  Lies,"  another  Norma  Talmadge  re- 
lease. "He  just  keeps  rising,"  supplied, 
informatively,  the  persistent  P.  A. 

"Yes,"  assented  the  fortified  inter- 
viewer. 

It  seems  that  he  does  keep  rising. 

He  had  just  arisen  from  bed. 

"I  suppose  I  should  have  a  story 
ready,"  observed  Mr.  Withey,  with  a 
touch  of  sardonicisra,  subsiding  into  the 
vacant  chair  and  ordering  beef  and  salad 
and  coffee  with  considerable  gusto ;  "I 
suppose  I  should  be  ready  with  the  glib 
recital  of  the  woes  of  a  director,  the 
many  appointments,  the  endless  details 
accounting  for  my  delay.  I  know  that  I 
owe  an  apology.  I  make  one.  However, 
I  am  naturally  veracious,  and  I  am  bound 
to  state  that  I  fell  asleep  and  was  getting 
along  quite  nicely  when  Miss  Living- 
stone here  called  me  up." 

(Sickly  smile  from  Miss  Livingstone.) 

"Or  you  might  have  put  it  down  to 
temperament."  I  suggested ;  "that  covers 
a  multitude  of  things." 

"But  I  hoTC  none,"  objected  Mr. 
Withey,  rumpling  his  rather  belligerent- 
looking  shock  of  hair;  "I  have  none.  I 
was  just  asleep."    He  added,  "I  still  am." 

"Promising  field  for  an  interview,"  I 
said,  hopefully. 

"Not  at  all,"  he  remarked,  agreeably. 
"We'll  just  sit  tonight.  Interview  some 
other  time."  Hence,  I,  too,  being  vera- 
cious, feel  bound  to  remark  that  this  is 


not  Mr.  Chet  Withey's  idea  of  an  inter- 
view. 

However,  being  conscientious,  and 
having  come  all  the  way  from  far  Long 
Island  for  the  express  purpose  of  the 
interview,  I  was  not  to  be  wholly  gain- 
said. Still,  it  was  difficult,  with  a  hu- 
morously ironical  person,  fresh  from  a 
profound  slumber,  eating  a  young  and 
healthy  meal,  wholly  undisturbed.  I  be- 
thought me  of  the  dignity  of  the  "fillum," 
as  expounded  by  himself.  Here,  I 
thought,  is  a  line. 

"What,"  I  suggested,  hopefully,  "would 
you  suggest  to  further  uplift  the  dignity 
of  the  screen?" 

"My  resignation,"  he  said,  promptly. 

Later  on,  going  to  the  Long  Island 
station  in  Mr.  Withey's  car,  there  was 
a  word  or  two  exchanged. 

We  had  been  talking  about  the  recent 
attack  on  the  screen  by  George  Jean 
Nathan  in  a  current  issue  of  Smart  Set. 
Said  Mr.  AVithey,  with  the  vein  of  light 
sardonicism  that  flicks  without  cutting 
thruout  his  entire  talk.  "Of  course,  Mr. 
Nathan  is  bigger  than  the  whole  of  the 
motion  picture  industry.  This  being  the 
case,  why  not  agree  with  him  and  let  it 
go  at  that  ?" 

Speaking  in  a  graver  tone,  he  said, 
"Part  of  the  attack  is  quite  doubtless 
true.  There  is  the  trite  saying  about  the 
good  and  the  bad  in  all  things.  The 
screen  is  too  tremendous  to  escape  its 
share  of  dross.  However,  the  worst 
thing  in  the  world  is  destructive  criti- 
cism. To  my  mind,  there  is  no  such 
thing.  If  criticism  is  destructive,  then  it 
is  not  criticism.  We  cannot  tear  down 
unless  we  can  build  up  a  better,  a  dif- 
ferent thing,  in  replacement." 

I  asked  him  if  he  felt  the  worth-while- 
ness  of  the  thing  he  was  doing. 

He  said,  "Absolutely.  More,  it  is  the 
only  thing  I  could  do.  I  feel  with  the 
pictures  something  like  what  an  architect, 
or  one  of  a  group  of  architects,  must  feel 
with  some  tremendous  building.  We  can 
only  do  our  little  part,  day  by  day,  week 
by  week,  the  best  and  the  finest  we  know 
how.  Then  we,  in  our  turn,  must  give 
way  to  another  shift  of  workers  to  carry 
on  our  yet  unfinished  task.  One  man  can 
only  be  a  part  of  so  gigantic  an  enter- 
prise, an  art,  but  each  man,  in  his  ap- 
pointed place,  can  give  his  uttermost,  as 
he  sees  it.  That  is  what  I  am  trying 
to  do." 

If  it  had  not  been  for  the  sardonicism, 
the  nicely  tempered  humor,  the  semi- 
mocking,  semi-kindly  touch  of  compre- 
hension, I  would  have  been  moved  to 
remark  what  a  zvorthy  young  man  .  .  . 
I  felt  that  that  would  not  quite  apply  .  .  . 
still,  on  the  other  hand,  what  zvould  .  .  . 
so  many  things.  I  felt  that  to  Mr. 
Withey  no  one  attribute  could  be  ap- 
pended with  conclusion.  Like  and  with 
life  he  keeps  growing  and  growing  and 
will  not  stay  labeled  .  .  .  obviously,  this 
will  have  to  be  a  case  of  a  series  of  con- 
secutive talks  that  we  may  keep  apace.

should  believe  that  he  deliberately  shirked 
his  duty  for  a  moment's  pleasure.  Anger 
that  they  should  dare  to  believe  such  a 
thing  of  him  prompted  his  reply.  "No ! 
I  have  nothing  to  say."  And  then  he  re- 
membered Marion,  Marion's  wretched 
selfishness — and  the  fact  that  Marion 
must  be  protected  from  her  own  act. 
Quixotic  ?  Yes,  but  Paul  Carrington 
was  not  the  man  to  hide  behind  a 
woman's  skirts.  And  so  he  sat  silent 
until  all  but  the  old  doctor  who  had  loved 
him  had  gone. 

"Paul!  I  cant  believe  it  of  you!  You 
dont  realize  what  this  means  !" 

"I  realize,  all  right."  The  young 
surgeon  thrust  his  thumbs  down  in  a 
significant  gesture.  "I'm  done  for — here. 
I  shall  go  away,  as  far  away  as  a  ship 
will  carry  me" — his  grey  face  quivered 
with  ghastly  mirth — "where  society  will 
no  longer  tempt  me.  To  the  Jarvis 
Islands,  probably,  where  I  shall  go  on 
with  my  experiments  on  gland  tissues — I 
shall  simply  disappear — alone." 

An  orderly  stood  hesitant  in  the  door- 
way. "Beg  pardon.  Dr.  Carrington,  but 
Miss  Ainsworth  is  calling  you.  She  says 
it's  very  important." 

With  a  hard  look  in  his  grey  eyes  that 
gave  them  the  gleam  of  one  of  the  steel 
knives  in  the  case,  Paul  Carrington  re- 
plied, "Tell  the  lady  that  I  am  occupied," 
he  spoke  deliberately ;  "tell  her  that  I 
e.xpect  to  be  occupied  whenever  she 
calls." 

The  world's  memory  is  short — luckily, 
for  most  of  us.  A  day's  wonder,  a 
night's  gossiping,  and  it  turns  to  some 
other,  fresher  happening.  It  wishes  only 
the  very  latest  thing  in  broken  hearts. 
At  tlie  end  of  a  twelvemonth  only  a  few 
people  so  much  as  remembered  that  there 
had  been  a  promising  young  surgeon 
named  Carrington,  whose  career  had 
been  untimely  ruined  by  an  unfortunate 
scandal. 

Dr.  Matthews  was  one  of  those  who 
remembered.  Sometimes,  as  he  bent 
over  a  particularly  desperate  operation, 
the  thought  would  flash  to  his  brain  of 
the  slender,  steel-strong  fingers  that  had 
dropped  their  tools  so  recklessly.  "But 
there  was  more  to  it  than  we  knew,"  he 
insisted  stubbornly,  when  other  doctors 
sneered  at  the  "Society  Sawbones,"  "and 
he'll  redeem  himself  yet — if  he's  still 
alive." 

If  he  was  still  alive!  It  was  this 
thought  that  beat  at  Marion  Ainsworth's 
brain  like  pounding  fists,  and  made  her 
look,  as  her  dear  friends  whispered 
among  themselves,  positively  haggard. 
"If  she  doesn't  marry  soon,  she  will  not 
be  able  to  make  a  decent  match,"  they 
murmured,  "but  I  think  her  mother  will 
be  able  to  land  Bob  Carter." 

It  was  wholly  due  to  the  silent,  inces- 
sant pressure  of  Mrs.  Ainsworth's  will, 
with  its  hurtful  impact  on  her  bruised 
spirit,  that  Marion  finally  consented  to 
become  engaged  to  young  Carter,  a  pleas- 
antly wealthy,  averagely  personable

CANTHROX 

SHAMPOO 

Its  use  makes  and  keeps  the  hair  attractive,  develops  the  life,  luster  and 
natural  wave  and  gives  a  clean,  luxuriant  appearance.  Canthrox  has  been 
for  years  the  favorite  of  those  who  want  to  bring  out  all  the  beauty  of 
their  hair,  because  it  so  rapidly  softens  and  entirely  removes  every 
particle  of  dandrufif,  excess  oil  and  dirt,  at  the  same  time  giving 
such  a  massive  flufifiness  to  the  hair  that  it  appears  much 
heavier  than  it  really  is,  while  each  strand  has  silky  bright 
softness  and  the  scalp  is  left  pliant  and  comfortable. 

For  Sale  at  all  Drug  Stores 

Canthrox  costs  about  three  cents  a  shampoo.  No  good  hair 
wash  costs  less.  A  few  minutes  only  are  required  for  its  use. 
You  simply  moisten  the  head  with  Canthrox  and  rinse  it 
thoroughly,  after  which  the  hair  dries  quickly.

Madge  Kennedy  and  Mabel  Xormand 
■continue  uneventfully.  Jack  Pickford  is 
spending  money  lavishly  but  without  par- 
ticular effect.  Goldwyn  is  wasting  Will 
Rogers  in  conventional  melodramas. 
Give  him  a  chance,  as  in  "Jubilo,"  and 
watch  him  bum  up  the  road.  Going  back 
to  the  trio  we  just  mentioned,  Tom 
Moore  is  slightly  bettering  his  average  of 
1919.  Miss  Normand  is  retrograding. 
The  early  "Edgar"  short  juvenile  come- 
dies of  Booth  Tarkington's  promise 
something  delightful. 

Mtagraph — \\'ont  somebody  do  some- 
thing about  stories  and  directors  there .'' 
\'itagraph  apparently  refuses  to  believe 
that  the  photoplay  has  advanced  since 
1915.  Alice  Joyce  and  Corinne  Griffith 
continue  to  be  wasted  in  features  and 
Tony  Moreno,  the  most  picturesque  of 
all  male  film  stars,  is  buried  in  serials. 
They  allowed  the  promising  Gladys  Les- 
lie to  depart  after  manhandling  her  ca- 
reer. Earle  Williams  and  Harry  Morey 
are  still  present.  Vitagraph  certainly 
needs  a  far-seeing  and  vigorous  directo- 
rial hand  to  lead  it  out  of  its  cobwebby 
retreat. 

Pathe — Serials  seem  to  be  the  piece  de 
resistance  here  as  before.  We  pass  on 
hastily,  for  our  endurance  balks  at  se- 
rials. The  best  things  on  the  Pathe  pro- 
gram have  been  the  Harold  Lloyd  farces 
and  Mrs.  Drew's  comedies,  vastly  dis- 
similar, but  each  admirable  in  its  in- 
dividual field.  We  have  spoken  anent 
"The  Gay  Old  Dog."  Blanche  Sweet  is 
waning. 

Fox — W'e  hear  that  changes  are  under 
way  here  and  that  the  trend  will  be  away 
from  melodrama.  Pearl  White's  first 
Fox  features  have  not  yet  been  released. 
Shake-ups  have  been  regular  events  until 
ap])arently  only  a  star  or  two  remain. 

Robertson-Cole  —  This  organization 
seems  to  be  handicapped  by  various 
things,  including  a  difficulty  in  getting 
into  the  leading  theaters.  Sessue  Haya- 
kawa  is  easily  its  ablest  star. 

Co.smopolitan — AH  interest  is  centered 
in  Marion  Davies.  Which  makes  us 
realize  just  how  difficult — or  shall  we 
say  impossible? — it  is  to  manufacture  a 
star.  .\lma  Rubens  has  had  little  oppor- 
tunity thus  far. 

Universal — h'rich  Von  Stroheim's  pro- 
ductions are  the  biggest  factors  by  all 
odds.     The  one  other  big  "U"  produc- 


tion, "The  \'irgin  of  Stamboul,"  will 
make  lots  of  money,  but  it  is  inconse- 
quential from  a  literary  or  directorial 
standpoint.  We  fail  to  see  Priscilla 
Dean.  Of  the  numerous  other  "U"  stars 
we  cannot  talk  authoritatively. 

LInited — The  stellar  fever  seems  to  be 
breaking  up  the  Griffith  family.  Lillian 
Gish  is  going  a-starring.  Bobbie  Har- 
ron  and  Dick  Barthelmess  are  becoming 
stars.  Who  will  be  the  Griffith  players 
of  the  coming  year?  Other  L'nited  stars 
and  productions  are  mentioned  else- 
where. 

Hodkinson — As  presented  in  "Sex" 
and  other  vehicles.  Louise  Glaum  is  not 
the  seductive  siren  of  Triangle  days. 
Doris  Kenyon  is  pretty  and  pleasant  to 
look  upon.  J.  Warren  Kerrigan  is  quite 
the  same,  altho  practically  minus  popu- 
lar interest. 

Realart — We  are  betting  on  Constance 
Binney.  Mary  Miles  Minter  is  doing  her 
best,  but  she  will  never  approach  Mary 
Pickford.  That's  definite.  Alice  Brady 
is  a  plugger.  Allan  Dwan's  productions 
have  been  workmanlike,  but  not  meteoric 
anywhere. 

Many  screen  stars  seem  to  have  been 
absent  most  of  the  year.  Theda  Bara 
has  been  devoting  herself  to  stage  work. 
So  has  Alice  Brady.  Dorothy  Phillips 
has  done  nothing  since  leaving  Universal. 
Mae  Marsh  is  back  before  the  Cooper- 
Hewitts,  but  her  first  vehicle  is  yet  to  be 
released.  The  same  refers  to  Bessie 
Love. 

We  pause  to  consider  film  farce.  We 
have  been  noting  our  enthusiasm  regard- 
ing Harold  Lloyd.  "Fatty"  Arbuckle 
has  been  improving.  The  Sennett  come- 
dies continue  along  their  own  way. 
Charles  Murray  stirs  our  risibilities  as 
possibly  no  else  does.  And  there's  no 
two  ways  of  looking  at  Ben  Turpin's 
natural  comedy.  The  Christie  comedies 
are  ambitious  but  purposeless.  And  Wil- 
liam Fox's  Sunshine  comedies — ye  gods  I 
Words  fail  us ! 


The  Celluloid  Critic 
The  Month's  Photoplays  in  Review 

By  Frederick  James  Smith 
"Romance,"  (United  .A.rtists),  Chet 
Withey's  screen  adaptation  of  Edward 
.Sheldon's  drama,  appealed  to  us  strongly. 
To  our  way  of  thinking,  Mr.  Sheldon 
penned  one  of  the  most  noteworthy  love 
plays  of  the  last  two  or  three  decades 
when  he  wrote  this  vibrant  story  of  Rita 
Cavallini,  the  gay  little  opera  diva,  and 
Tom  Arm.strong,  the  young  rector  of  St. 
Giles  in  New  York's  picturesque  sixties. 
We  can  understand  where  "Romance" 
may  fail  to  completely  capture  or  hold 
the  average  audience.  Mr.  Withey  and 
the  scenarist.  Will  Hastings,  lacking  phys- 
ical action,  have  played  too  much  upon 
the  one  string  of  passionate  emotional- 
ism. It  is  possible  to  do  this  behind  the 
footlights,  where  dialog  vivifies  and  per- 
sonalities lend  variety  and  color.  A  great 
film  director  might  well  be  able  to  plumb 
the  emotional  and  mental  depth.s — but 
Mr.  Withey  is  not  yet  a  great  director. 


Frequently  in  "Romance"  he  slips  into 
the  obviously  theatric.  But  let  us  give 
him  credit  for  facing  unusual  difficulties 
in  making  "Romance." 

To  our  way  of  thinking,  the  screen 
ver.sion  of  Mr.  Sheldon's  drama  succeeds 
because  of  the  basic  strength  of  the 
story — the  vivisection  of  human  passion 
with  an  uncannily  searching  and  sym- 
pathetic eye.  ^^'e  admit  that  the  celluloid 
"Romance"  stirred  us  and  held  us,  de- 
spite its  film  limitations.  Yet  we  did 
miss  the  superb  Sheldon  dialog. 

As,  for  instance,  the  diva's  pagan  defi- 
nition of  love:  "I  tell  you  what  love  is  I 
Love  is  de  'unger  for  anoder's  flesh — a 
deep-down  t'irst  to  dreenk  anoder's  blood 
— Love  is  a  beast  dat  feed  all  t'ru  de 
night  an'  vhen  de  morning  come — Love 
dies !" 

And  again  :  "Yesterday — it  is  a  dream 
ve  'ave  forget.  Tomorrow — jus'  de  'ope 
of  some  great  'appiness — some  joy  dat 
never  come  I  Before,  behin',  all  clouds 
an'  stars  an'  shadow — nodings,  nodings 
is  real — only  de  leetle  meenute  dat  we 
call  today !" 

We  tremendously  admire  Doris  Keane's 
performance  as  Cavallini.  She  has  been 
extremely  well  handled  photographically, 
via  soft  focus,  careful  posing  and  so  on. 
The  diva — this  "gleaming  little  humming- 
bird," with  her  bewitching  mannerisms 
and  her  infinite  charm — is  a  superb  role, 
and  Miss  Keane  makes  her  live  on  the 
silversheet  almost  as  effectively  as  she 
has  been  doing  for  some  years  on  the 
stage.  We  neither  liked  nor  disliked 
Basil  Sydney's  playing  of  the  impas- 
sioned Tom  Armstrong,  but  we  found 
Norman  Trevor's  portrayal  of  the 
worldly  and  understanding  Cornelius 
Van  Tuyl  to  be  most  praiseworthy. 

How  we  regret  that  Griffith  did  not 
make  "Romance" ! 

Erich  Von  Stroheira  has  duplicated  his 
adroitly  built  story  of  intrigue  in  the 
Alps,  "Blind  Husbands,"  with  another 
screen  story  study  in  intrigue,  this  time 
in  picturesque  Paris  at  lilac-time.  Mr. 
Von  Stroheim  calls  his  newest  contribu- 
tion "The  Devil's  Passkey,"  (Universal). 

The  present  tale,  written  by  the  Bar- 
oness de  Meyer  and  the  director  himself, 
revolves  around  the  extravagant  wife  of 
a  moderately  well-to-do  American  play- 
wright residing  in  Paris.  The  woman 
falls  into  the  meshes  of  a  fashionable 
dressmaker,  one  Renee  Malot,  who  lives 
upon  the  weaknesses  of  her  sex.  When 
the  bills  reach  huge  proportions,  Mme. 
Malot  suggests  an  interesting  American, 
an  army  captain,  as  the  solution  of  the 
financial  difficulties.  The  modiste,  it 
seems,  maintains  a  dc  luxe  suite  of 
rooms  where  such  difficulties  are  ad- 
justed. However,  nothing  wrong  en- 
sues, altho  the  story  gets  into  a  Parisian 
scandal  weekly  and — here  is  the  dramatic 
twist — the  playwriting  husband  hits  upon 
it  as  a  promising  plot.  His  play  scores, 
while  all  Paris  laughs  at  his  innocent  use 
of  scandal  about  his  own  wife.  The 
whole  thing  narrowly  misses  tragedy

"The  Griffith  studio  family  seems  to  be 
breaking  up,"  began  the  Gossip,  as  he 
leaned  back  in  his  porch  chair  and  studied 
the  summer  moon;  "Lillian  Gish  is  to  be 
starred  by  the  Frohman  Amusement 
Corporation  at  $4,500  a  week.  Bobbie 
Harron  is  alread\'  at  work  upon  his  first 
star  production,  to  be  released  thru 
Metro,  and  Dick  Barthelmess  becomes  a 
star,  too,  as  soon  as  he  finishes  work  in 
'  'Way  Down  East.'  " 

"That  always  comes  with  development 
and  progress,"  sighed  the  Philosopher, 
studying  the  glow  of  his  cigar. 

"Of  course,  they  will  all  keep  on  work- 
ing under  the  Griffith  eye,  making  their 
pictures  at  the  Mamaroneck  studios,  but 
the  old  ensemble  will  be  gone,"  went  on 
the  Gossip.  "Harron  is  now  working 
with  Chet  Withey  as  director.  Mean- 
while, Griffith  seems  to  have  a  find  in 
little  Mary  Hay,  who  succeeded  to  poor 
'Cutie  Beautiful's'  role  in  '  'Way  Down 
East.'  Miss  Hay  was  in  the  Ziegfeld 
Midnight  Frolic,  but  she  has  given  up 
that  work  to'devote  her  entire  time  to  the 
films.  They  do  say,  you  know,  that  Miss 
Hay  and  Barthelmess  are  to  be  married 
in  the  autumn." 

The  Philosopher  smiled. 

"Griffith  is  hard  at  work  on  '  'Way 
Down  East,' "  rambled  on  the  Gossip. 
"It  is  said  that  it  will  cost  him  around 
$750,000  before  he  fini.shes.  Only  the 
other  day  he  used  his  biggest  set  since 
the  Babylonian  scenes  of  'Intolerance.' 
It  was  a  huge  reproduction  of  a  smart 
ballroom.  And  he  has  two  almost  com- 
plete villages  built,  one  on  Long  Island 
and  the  other  on  the  Mamaroneck  prop- 
erty. They  tell  me  that  Creighton  Hale 
plays  a  comedy  character  in  '  'Way  Down 
East'  and  that  he  is  going  to  make  a  big 
hit." 

"Players  take  surprising  turns  under 
Griffith's  direction,"  remarked  the  Philos- 
opher. 

"Griffith  has  just  bought  back  the  pro- 
duction originally  called  'Black  Beach' 
from  First  National  for  $400,000,"  the 
Gossip  went  on.  "They  say  he  is  going 
to  use  it  as  part  of  his  repertoire  at  a 
New  York  theater  in  the  fall.  It  will  be 
called  'Tlie  Gamest  Girl.'  They  say  that 
Carol  Dempster  makes  a  remarkable  hit 
in  it,  so  great  that  members'of  the  First 
National  call  her  the  biggest  find  in  five 
years." 

"Speaking  of  family  dissolutions,"  re- 
marked the  Philosopher,  "what  about  the 
division  of  the  De  Mille  organization?" 

"Yes,  indeed,"  answered  the  Gossip. 
"Bebe  Daniels  is  now  a  Realart  star  and 
is  being  billed  as  'the  good  little  bad  .girl.' 
They're  going  to  present  her  in  a  series 
of  baby  vampire  roles.  Gloria  .Swanson 
has  just  signed  as  a  Famous  Players- 
Lasky  star,  and  her  salary  has  jumped 
from  around  $600  to  something  like 
$1,2.50.  And  Thomas  Meighan,  of 
course,  is  already  a-starring." 

"One  thing  really  touched  me,"  said 


the  Philosopher,  "and  that  is  the  way 
people  ha\e  welcomed  Doug  and  Mary 
on  their  honeymoon.     I'm  mighty  glad." 

"Great,  wasn't  it  ?"  smiled  the  Gossip. 
"All  the  way  across  country,  people  in 
every  village,  town  and  city  turned  out 
to  welcome  them.  Maybe  their  stay  in 
New  York  at  the  Ritz  wasn't  one  round 
of  royal  welcomes.  Why.  their  appear- 
ances on  the  streets  were  the  signals  for 
veritable  riots.  Police  reserves  had  to  be 
called  out  to  get  them  out  of  Wall  Street 
one  day  and,  when  they  went  to  the 
tlieater,  the  audiences  stopped  watching 
the  play." 

"It  must  have  touched  their  hearts," 
said  the  Philosopher,  softly.  "Surely 
they  deserve  happiness.  Think  of  all 
they  have  done  for  others  on  the  screen !" 

"I  see  that  Theda  Bara  has  gone  to 
Europe  for  a  rest,"  went  on  the  Gossip. 
"They  say  she's  to  have  a  new  play  when 
she  returns  and  New  York  will  see  her 
again  next  fall  behind  the  footlights. 
This  trip  is  her  first  real  rest.  Her  sister 
is  making  the  trip  with  her. 

"Speaking  of  trips  abroad."  continued 
the  Gossip,  "reminds  me  that  Mamma 
Talmadge  and  Natalie  Talmadge  are  now 
on  the  other  side,  and  they  say  that 
Norma  and  Constance  are  going  over, 
along  with  Dorothy  Gish.  Maybe  they're 
going  to  do  a  picture  or  two  ovir  there, 
who  knows?  I  hear  that  Norma  may 
revive  'The  Garden  of  Allah'  very  soon 
on  the  screen.  You  remember  that  it 
was  done  a  long  time  ago.  Anyway,  the 
revival  is  being  talked  about," 

"I  would  like  to  see  Norma  Talmadge 
in  a  big  drama,"  sighed  the  Philosopher. 
"She  surely  needs  better  material." 

"It's  hard  to  get,  tho,  these  days," 
laughed  the  Gossip.  "Look  at  the  way  ' 
they're  all  frantically  searching.  King 
Vidor's  father  and  manager,  Charles 
Vidor,  was  in  New  York  for  weeks  re- 
cently looking  for  stories.  They  do  say 
that  King  Vidor  may  do  Winchell  Smith'S' 
'Turn  to  the  Right,'  " 

The  Philosopher's  interest  was  aroused. 
"Vidor  is  the  most  promising  director  on 
the  screen,"  he  saiti.  "You  interest  me 
very  much,  for  no  one  could  do  'Turn  to 
the  Right'  better  than  he." 

"Micky  Neilan  has  been  in  New 
York,"  the  Gossip  ran  on.  "Bert  Lytell 
is  here.  Going  to  do  a  stage  play  this 
fall,  besides  keeping  up  his  screen  work.. 
Madge  Kennedy  is  going  to  return,  at 
least  temporarily,  to  the  footlights.  You,i 
of  course,  have  heard  that  Al  H.  Woods, 
who  presented  Miss  Bara  on  the  stage,: 
made  an  offer  to  Bill  Hart,  which  was 
rejected.  Bill  is  going  to  retire  from 
acting,  they  say." 

"Personally,  I  cant  think  of  anything 
more  interesting  than  the  return  to  New' 
York  of  S.  L.  Rothapfel,"  interrupted 
the  Philosopher.  "There  is  a  man  to 
whom  the  whole  industry  owes  a  great 
deal — and  who  isn't  half  appreciated  by

Marooned  Hearts — (Continued  from  page  87) 


youth  who  had  two  passions  in  life — his 
yacht  and  Marion.  7\nd  the  next  society 
heard  was  of  a  trip  to  Japan  on  the  Sea 
Cull,  with  its  owner,  his  fiancee  and  her 
motlier  aboard. 

Meanwhile,  "It's  been  one  year  ex- 
actly," wrote  Paul  Carrington  in  his 
diary,  sitting  in  his  palm-thatched  hut 
and  looking  out  over  the  shimmering  blue 
fields  of  the  Pacific,  "and  I  have  not  seen 
a  human  face  in  all  that  time.  My  ex- 
periments are  progressing  so  well  that 
another  three  years  ought  to  complete 
them,  and  successfully,  please  God.  If 
they  shall  save  a  single  human  life,  it 
will  be  my  atonement " 

The  pen  fell  from  his  fingers,  he  leaned 
forward  with  a  roaring  in  his  ears  not  of 
the  surf.  "It's — not  true,  of  course,"  he 
whispered  ;  "she's  a  thousand  miles  away, 
playing  golf  in  imported  tweeds " 

The  girl  in  the  doorway  leaned  heav- 
ily against  the  lintel.  The  thing  .she  wore 
had  been  a  silk  crepe  evening  gown  once, 
but  now  hung  about  her  in  sodden  wisps, 
leaving  her  arms  and  bosom  bare.  Her 
hair  was  dark  with  sea-water,  and  she 
was  laughing  softly,  senselessly.  "He 
thought — that  I  was  more  afraid — of  the 
ocean  than  of — him,  the  sailor  with  the 
pockmarked  face" — she  shuddered,  as 
at  some  memory,  incredibly  vile — "and 
the  other  boats  were  gone — so  I  was 
drowned  ..." 

Paul  Carrington  caught  her  as  she 
fell.  "God,  why  did  You  let  this  woman 
come  here?"  he  groaned.  "Hasn't  she 
done  me  harm  enough  already?"  But, 
hate  her  as  he  did,  he  was  a  doctor  first 
of  all.  When  Marion  Ainsworth  opened 
her  eyes,  it  was  to  see  the  face  she  had 
dreamed  of  so  often  bending  above  her, 
but  she  had  never  dreamed  that  his  eyes 
could  be  so  mercilessly  cruel.  She  tried 
to  rise. 

"I — did  not  pick  my  route,  Paul." 
Her  lips  quivered  in  a  painful  smile. 
"The  yacht — was  wrecked.  One  of  the 
sailors  took  me  in  a  boat.  We  lost  the 
others,  and" — a  burning  blush  swept  her 
whiteness  a  moment — "I  had  to  choose 
between  that  man — and  the  sea,  so  I 
jumped  overboard.  I  suppose  the  tide 
swept  me  ashore  here,  but — I'll  go 
now " 

He  laughed  harshly.  "Go?  Where? 
We're  marooned  here  together,  you  and 
I.  My  steam  yacht  broke  from  its 
moorings,  six  months  ago,  in  a  tropic 
storm.  We  may  be  picked  up  at  any 
time,  or  we  may  spend  our  lives  on  this 
island." 

They  looked  at  one  another  long.  Her 
lips  quivered  into  speech.  "You — have 
never  forgiven  me,  Paul  ?" 

"I  do  not  forgive  easily,"  the  man  an- 
swered briefly.  "Make  no  mistake.  I 
shall  build  you  a  hut  close  enough  to 
mine  for  your  protection,  and  I  shall 
draw  a  line  upon  the  ground  between. 
That  line  shall  separate  our  lives  as  tho  it 
were  an  ocean  lying  between  us.  You 
have  destroyed  my  life  once.  I  came 
here  to  piece  the  broken  bits  together, 
l^nd — you  shall  not  destroy  it  again." 

(Nineiij-one) 


In  the  long  weeks  that  followed  she 
saw  no  sign  of  relenting.  He  built  her, 
as  he  had  promised,  a  hut,  and,  as  he  had 
promised,  he  drew  a  line  between  their 
worlds.  On  the  one  side  he  worked  si- 
lently over  his  retorts  and  glass  slides, 
apparently  not  seeing  her,  never  speaking  ; 
his  face  a  grim,  grey  mask  hiding  his 
thoughts  from  her  wistful,  seeking  gaze. 
If  she  could  have  known  them,  they 
might  have  gone  far  toward  easing  the 
pain  that  lay  always  under  her  heart. 
Frivolous  she  had  been,  thoughtless  and 
selfish,  but  she  had  loved  this  man,  and 
now  that  she  had  lost  him  she  was  like 
one  who,  having  lost  life,  still  remains 
forlornly  alive. 

And  he?  The  glass  slides  under  his 
fingers  were  meaningless  now.  He  still 
thought  that  he  hated  her  and  raved 
against  her  in  his  diary,  yet  her  slim 
loveliness  would  not  let  him  be.  He 
dreamed,  tossing  on  his  restless  bed,  of 
the  cool  softness  of  her  lips.  He  turned 
his  eyes  resolutely  away  from  the  sight 
of  her,  clad  in  a  woven  garment  of  reeds 
and  drifting,  light  as  sea-foam  on  the 
beach — and  he  saw  her  always  before 
him. 

What  the  end  might  have  been  there  is 
no  guessing,  hut  the  sailor  with  the  pock- 
marked face  played  god  of  the  machine. 
For  days  he  had  hidden  like  a  wild  beast 
in  the  jungle  growth,  watching,  with  hot 
eyes  of  desire,  the  wdiite  wonder  of 
Marion's  body  dipping,  morning  and  eve- 
ning, in  a  sheltered  pocket  of  the  sea. 
Since  his  boat  had  drifted  ashore  and 
landed  him  marvelously  near  the  woman 
he  had  craved,  he  had  been  waiting  for 
his  moment,  and  presently  he  thought 
that  it  had  come.  But  he  had  not  reck- 
oned on  Paul. 

In  the  white  glare  of  the  tropic  noon- 
tide the  two  men  fought,  while  the 
woman  watched  breathlessly,  as  it  was 
in  the  beginning.  The  sand  beneath 
their  laboring  feet  was  trodden  red  when 
at  last  Carrington  flung  the  other  at  full 
length  on  the  beach,  and  stood  above 
him,  bruised,  bleeding,  exultant.  "Get  to 
your  boat,"  he  told  the  cringing  creature 
at  his  feet,  contemptuously,  "and  steer 
away  from  this  island.  If  you  try  to 
crawl  back  here  I'll  kill  you!  You'll 
probably  drown,  but  I  warn  you  that's 
better  than  what  I  would  do  to  you  I" 

The  sailor  did  not  try  to  rise.  He 
squirmed  away  on  his  stomach,  an  abject 
thing  of  fear,  hke  a  monstrous  black 
slug,  leaving  two  for  whom,  strangely, 
the  world  was  changed.  The  past  had 
slipped  from  them  like  discarded  gar- 
ments and  their  naked  souls  stood  face  to 
face. 

"How  strong  you  are!"  marveled  the 
woman  soul. 

"I  was  fighting  for  you,"  answered  the 
man.  He  held  out  his  arms,  and  unques- 
tioningly  she  went  into  them,  and  the 
world  followed  time  into  the  limbo  of 
things  that  were  not.  and  there  were  only 
themselves  under  the  sky,  themselves  and 
the  murmurous  mother  sea.

Greatest  of  All  Popularity  Contests 

Unique  Competition  in  Which  the  Voters  Share  in  the  Prizes 

WHO  IS  THE  ONE  GREAT  STAR  OF  THE  SCREEN? 

Is  it  CHARLIE  CHAPLIN  or  ELSIE  FERGUSON? 

Is  it  RICHARD  BARTHELMESS  or  WILLIAM  S.  HART? 


Concerning  this  matter  there  is  great  difference  of  opinion.  Every  fan,  in  fact,  has  his  own  idol.  The  Wall 
street  broker  swears  by  MARY  PICKFORD;  his  wife  thinks  TOM  MIX  is  the  best  actor  the  cinema  has 
produced;  the  office  boy  has  a  "crush"  on  THEDA  BARA  and  the  stenographer  collects  photographs  of 
DOUGLAS  FAIRBANKS. 

What  do  you  think?  If  you  had  a  vote  would  you  give  it  to  NAZIMOVA  or  to  LILLIAN  GISH?  Would 
you  vote  for  a  man  or  a  woman  or  for  little  BEN  ALEXANDER? 

Shadowland,  Motion  Picture  Magazine,  and  Motion  Picture  Classic — the  three  great  magazines  of  the 
Motion  Picture  world^have  decided  to  refer  this  question  to  their  readers  by  taking  a  popular,  world- 
wide vote.  In  regard  to  matters  concerning  the  stage  and  theater  their  audience  is  the  most  intelligent  and 
discerning;  the  most  wide  awake  and  well  informed  in  the  world  today.  If  any  picture  patrons  can  pick 
out  the  leading  star,  it  will  be  those  who  read  Shadowland,  the  Magazine  and  Classic. 

The  coupons  will  show  you  how  to  enter  your  own  name  and  the  name  of  your  favorite  player.  But  you 
may  vote  on  an  ordinary  sheet  of  paper  in  Class  Number  2  provided  you  make  the  ballot  the  same  size 
and  follow  the  wording  of  this  coupon.  We  prefer  the  printed  coupons  for  uniformity  and  convenience  in 
counting. 

There  will  be  prizes  for  voters  and  prizes  for  stars. 

Votes  registered  in  Class  Number  1  will  probably  be  cast  by  favor.  Votes  registered  in  Class  Number  2 
will  call  for  a  wide  knowledge  of  the  Motion  Picture  business,  keen  powers  of  perception  and  skill  at  de- 
tecting the  trend  of  popular  favor.     You  cannot  guess  the  winner  offhand.

tcctlv  and  I  never  Bacriflted  a   hair.      I  use   Invisible  pins  to  attach 

the  enJs  and  It's   on   and  off  In  a  jltTy.      My  picture  shows  the  Bob

a  list  of  the  film  manufacturers,  with  addresses,  must  enclose  a  stamped,  addressed  envelope.  Address 
all  inquiries  to  The  Answer  Man,  using  separate  sheets  for  matters  intended  for  other  departments  of 
ibis  magazine.  Each  inquiry  must  contain  the  correct  name  and  address  of  the  inquirer  at  the  end 
of  the  letter,  which  will  not  be  printed.  At  the  top  of  the  letter  write  the  name  you  wish  to  appear. 
Those  desiring  immediate  replies  or  information  requiring  research,  should  enclose  additional  stamp  or 
other  small  fee;  otherwise  all  inquiries  must  await  their  turn. 


David  L. — Thanks,  chappie,  for  the  fee. 
Viola  Dana's  husband  passed  away  recently. 
They  both  changed  their  name,  but  they  are 
sisters.  VVrite  him  at  Los  Angeles.  Yes,  life 
is  half  spent  before  we  know  what  it  is.  It 
is  a  hard  nut  to  crack  and  very  few  of  us  get 
out  of  it  alive. 

H.  L.  M. — Dont  forget  that  theatrical  life  is 
fantastic  and  unreal.  Elsie  Ferguson  is  play- 
ing in  "Sacred  and  Profane  Love"  at  the 
Morosco  Theater,  New  York  City.  Alice 
Joyce  with  Eastern  Vitagraph,  Brooklyn,  and 
George  Walsh  with  Fox,  New  York  City. 
June  Caprice  is  about  21;  Lila  Lee.  17;  Lillian 
Gish,  24,  and  Dorothy  Gish,  22.  All  old  ladies, 
you  see. 

Joe  B.,  B.\v  City. — No,  m'  dear.  I  do  not 
do  up  my  hair  in  curl  papers  as  Lord  Byron 
did.  Look  me  over  up  above  and  tell  me — do 
you  see  any  hair?  You  want  to  see  Elliott 
Dexter  and  Gloria  Swanson  play  together.  I'll 
try  and  arrange  it.  Yes,  Priscilla  Dean  is 
married.  No,  no,  Madlaine  Traverse  is  not 
Peggy  Hyland's  sister.    Oh,  you're  welcome. 

A  Loyal  Fan. — That's  the  way  to  be.  Be- 
ware of  love  at  first  sight — always  take  a  sec- 
ond look.  Why,  Corinne  Griffith  is  in  "The 
Garter  Girl."  Oh,  for  a  clasp  of  that  garter — 
it  would  look  so  handsome  in  my  collection 
of  curios.  E.  K.  Lincoln  in  "The  Inner  Voice," 
American  Cinema.  Niles  Welch  is  with  West- 
ern Vitagraph.  So  you  like  Elliott  Dexter 
and  Norma  Taimadge.  and  Charles  Ray  and 
Wallace  Reid  next.  No,  they  take  a  substitute 
and  not  a  real  house. 

H.ALF  Past  Sixteen. — The  DeHavens  can 
be  reached  at  Paramount,  481  Fifth  Avenue, 
New  York  City.  Surely  I  want  you  to  write 
me  again.     Enjoyed  your  letter  a  lot. 

Bka  Vo. — Yes.  I  was  there  and  was  glad  to 
see  the  Brooklyn  Dodgers  win.  A  pitch  in 
time  saved  the  nine.  Thanks  for  the  verse. 
Does  it  run  fluently  by  you?  Dustin  Farnum 
in  "The  Big  Happiness." 

Ura  Cootik. — How  do  you  make  that  out? 
Harrison  Ford?  I  will  tell  you  all  about  him 
some  rainy  afternoon.  You  tell  me  to  always 
wear  my  rubbers  when  it  rains  so  as  not  to 
get  the  flu.  I  need  some  one  like  you  to  look 
after   me. 

Db'DE. — Whom  the  gods  love — die  young.  I 
am  79.  so  you  know  what  that  means.  There 
was  an  interview  with  Gloria  Swanson  in  the 
February,  1919,  Classic.  Charles  Ray  in  "Ram- 
sey Milholland,"  a  Booth  Tarkington  story. 
Yes.  Bill  Farnum  in  "The  Big  Happiness." 
You  say  you  dont  believe  that  a  crow  lives 
100  years.  Why  dont  you  buy  one  and  find 
out? 

Ura  Peach. — No.  night  does  not  bring  out 
the  stars;  it  simply  brings  us  out  of  our  light- 
produced  blindness  so  that  wc  can  sec  them. 
Very  few  of  the  studios  allow  visitors.  Gladys 
Brockwetl  in  "A  Sister  to  Salome."  Arline 
Pretty  with  Selznick  in  "The  Valley  of 
Doubt."  Oh.  I  dont  mind  answering  a  few 
questions.     Write  me  again. 

Just  June, — I  have  mailed  your  letter. 
Jean  S. — So  you  have  deserted  Earle  Wil- 
liams  for  Eugene   O'Brien.     Oh,  fickle  jade! 


"Twas  ever  thus.  The  heart  of  a  woman  is 
like  the  moon,  ever  changing,  but  there  is  al- 
ways a  man  in  it.  You  can  reach  Ethel  Clay- 
ton at  Paramount,  485  Fifth  Avenue,  New 
York  City.  Her  last  picture  was  "The  Lady 
in  Love."  You  want  to  see  an  interview  with 
Wanda  Hawley  and  Tom  Moore. 

Idealist. — Your  clever  letter  received.  You 
must  write  me  again. 

Betiy,  Adelaide.— Well,  Betty,  most  girls 
want  nothing  but  husbands,  but  when  they  get 
them  they  want  everything.  Send  Interna- 
tional Coupons,  valued  at  five  cents  each.  See 
above  for  Elsie  Ferguson.  Mary  Miles  Min- 
ter,  Los  Angeles,  Cal.  Yes,  I  agree  with  you, 
but  make  love  while  the  moon  shines. 

Marion. — Why  didn't  you  sign  your  name? 
Glorious  Divine  Talmadge. — You  refer  to 
"Pals  First"  and  Rubye  de  Remer  pl?yed  with 
him.  So  you  liked  Monroe  Salisbury  in  "The 
Eyes  of  the  World."  It's  rather  a  tedious  job. 
but  since  you  ask  me  how  to  rid  your  pet  dog 
of  his  fleas,  here  goes,  again.  Fill  your  bath- 
tub with  boiling  water;  immerse  the  pet  dog, 
being  careful  that  only  the  end  of  his  tail  pro- 
trudes above  the  water.  The  fleas  will  crawl 
out  on  his  caudal  appendage  to  keep  from 
drowning,  and  you  may  take  your  time  in 
capturing  them  one  at  a  time.  What  will  hap- 
pen to  the  pet  dog?  That's  his  look-out.  He 
probably  will  drown,  but  you  have  succeeded 
in  relieving  him  of  his  little  playmates. 

Edith  C.  S. — Yes,  Mahlon  Hamilton  is  at 
Hampton  Studios,  Los  Angeles. 

U.  R.  A.  J. — Elsie  Ferguson  was  born  in 
New  York  in  1883.  She  is  Mrs.  Thomas  B. 
Clarke.  Hope  you  win  your  bet.  No,  I  can- 
not prevent  thoughts  coming  any  more  than 
I  could  keep  birds  from  flying  over  my  head, 
but  I  try  to  prevent  their  building  nests  in 
my  beard. 

Rosalind  R. — Nothing  is  ever  so  good  as  it 
seemed  beforehand  that  it  was  going  to  be — 
or,  anticipation  is  greater  than  realization — 
provided  you  have  a  good  imagination.  Dont 
you  find  it  so?  Eugene  O'Brien  at  Selznick, 
729  7th  Avenue,  New  York.  Ethel  Clayton  in 
"The  City  Sparrow."  Do  I  drink?  Yes.  but- 
termilk.   What  else  is  a  feller  to  do? 

Betty  R..  Pittsdurg. — So  you  say  Nazimova 
is  about  41  years  old.  You're  trying  to  bribe 
me  to  find  out  whether  I  am  a  male  or  a  fe- 
male. I'm  wise  to  you.  Certainly  you  may 
come  and  see  me  in  my  cage.  It  is  more 
blessed  to  call  than  to  receive. 

Red  Rose. — You  here  again?  Now.  it  isn't 
up  to  me  to  tell  you  whom  to  vote  for. 
The  most  scientific  way  is  to  put  them  all  in 
a  hat  and  pick  out  one.  You  are  more  apt  to 
get  answered  in  the  Classic  than  you  are  in 
the  Magazine.  I  know,  but  a  very  masculine 
woman  is  liable  to  usurp  most  of  the  mas- 
culinity of  the  husband  and  leave  him  effem- 
inate. Shirley  Mason  is  playing  in  "His  Har- 
vest." Yes,  Cleo  Ridgely  has  returned  to  the 
screen  to  play  in  Lew  Cody's  "The  Mischief 
Man."     Come  again. 

CupiE. — Send  a  stamped,  addressed  envelope 
for  a  list  of  manufacturers,  also  a  list  of 
corresponding  clubs.

The  Big  Events  of  the  Cinema  Year 

1.  Mae  Murray's — er — pedal  extremi- 
ties in  "On  With  the  Dance." 

2.  Eugene   O'Brien's  left  eyebrow   in 
"The  Perfect  Lover." 

3.  Betty  Compson's  bath-tub  in  "The 
Miracle  Man." 

4.  Bebe   Daniels   and   her   victrola    in 
"Why  Change  Your  Wife?" 

5.  Gloria  Swanson's  morning  plunge  in 
"Male  and  Female." 

6.  Constance  Talmadge's  depiction  of 
Annette  Kellermann  in  "Two  Weeks." 


"Women !"  reads  an  advertisement 
anent  "The  Devil's  Passkey."  "What 
does  Von  Strohcim  know  about  women  ? 
Too  much — the  women  think.  That's 
why  they  love  him  and  hate  him — and 
pack  the  house  to  the  fire  limits."  It's 
sure  the  day  of  the  he-vampire. 


Our  Political  Choice 
We   dont   care  particularly   who   gets 
elected   this  year,   as  long  as   it   isn't   a 
Democrat.     But  we  are  very  particular 
about  the  next  cabinet.    Here's  our  idea : 
Secretary  of  State — Charlie  Murray 
Secretary  of  the  Navy — Mack  Sennett 
Secretary  of  Agriculture — Charles  Ray 
Postmaster-General — Lew  Cody 
Attorney-General — Ben  Turpin* 
Secretary  of  the  Interior — Fatty  Ar- 
buckle 

Secretary  of  the  Treasury — Mamma 
Pickford 

Secretary  of  Commerce  —  Lewis  J. 
Selznick 

Secretary  of  Labor — Will  Rogers 
Secretary  of  War — Bull  Montana 

*He  could  see  both  sides  of  every  legal 
question. 

Gossip  of  the  Eastern  Studios 

(Continued  from  page  90) 
the  industry,  it  seems  to  me.  Yet,  when 
the  Capitol  Theater  failed  to  get  over  in 
a  big  way,  they  have  to  call  him  back  to 
New-  York  to  save  it.  And,  in  one  night, 
he  turned  the  biggest  movie  house  in  the 
world  into  a  success.    Interesting,  isn't  it  ?" 

"You  bet,"  responded  the  Gossip. 
"Why,  Rothapfel  originated  the  present 
de  luxe  way  of  showing  photoplays. 
He's  done  more  for  the  motion  picture 
than  anv  half-dozen  producers,  except 
Griffith.''' 

"True,"  said  the  Philosopher.  "But 
you  know  the  old  proverb  about  the  lack 
of  appreciation  in  one's  own  land !" 

Marooned  Hearts

Afterward  they  spoke  brokenly  .    .    . 

"You  have  forgiven  ?"     "Yes  ! — Have 

you    forgiven    7ncf" — "I  was  wrong" — 

— "And  I !" — "I  love  you,  I  always  have, 

always  shall" — "Kiss  me  again " 

"If  we  should  stay  here  always,  would 
it  matter — now  ?"  he  asked  her,  and  she 
answered,  head  on  his  breast,  dreamily, 
"It  would  not  matter — so  long  as  it  were 
together "

Only  for  ladies  who 
end  corns 


Dainty  shoes  are  only  for 
those  who  end  corns. 

The  way  is  simple,  quick 
and  easy,  and  is  sure.  Millions 
of  people  employ  it. 

Apply  Blue-jay,  the  liquid  or 
the  plaster.  That  touch  will 
stop  the  pain. 

Then  wait  a  little  and  the 
corn  will  loosen  and  come  out. 

Then  why  does  anybody 
suffer  corns? 

Just  because  they  don't 
knovr.    They  pare  corns  and 


keep  them.  Orthey  pad  them. 
Or  they  use  a  treatment  harsh 
and  ineffective. 

Blue-jay  is  scientific.  This 
world-famed  laboratory  cre- 
ated it. 

Year  after  year,  it  is  keeping 
millions  entirely  free  from 
corns. 

Perhaps  half  the  corns  that 
start  are  now  ended  by  it. 

Ask  your  druggist  for  Blue- 
jay.  Learn  tonight  how  much 
it  means  to  you.

MOTION  PICTURE 


The  Celluloid  Critic 

{Continued  from  page  88) 


when  the  dramatist  learns  the  truth,  but 
he  comes  in  time  to  reahze  that  he  loves 
— and  needs — his  butterfly  wife  despite 
everything. 

Mr.  Von  Stroheim  presents  his  story 
with  a  Continental  observation  of  men 
and  manners,  a  dexterous  camera  sense 
and  the  same  directorial  skil fulness  that 
lifted  "Blind  Husbands"  into  the  unusual. 
As  yet,  Mr.  \'on  Stroheim's  characters — 
in  the  main — do  not  have  the  breath  of 
life.  Just  one  character  of  "The  Devil's 
Passkey"  really  lives.  It  is  the  cocotte, 
Odero,  realized  with  fine  Parisian  verve 
and  piquancy  by  Mae  Bush.  Her 
Odero  is  as  French  as  La  Vie  Pa- 
risicnne.  Sam  de  Grasse  and  Una  Trev- 
elyn  are  adequate  as  the  American  hus- 
band and  wife,  Clyde  Fillmore  is  the 
army  officer  who  wavers  humanly  be- 
tween the  good  and  the  bad,  and  Maud 
George  is  Mme.  Malot.  The  Paris  at- 
mosphere is  admirably  attained  and 
maintained. 

Rabelaisian  in  its  humor  is  "Scratch 
My  Back,"  (Goldwyn),  written  and 
adapted  for  the  screen  by  Rupert  Hughes. 
The  hero  is  a  rich  young  chap  who  al- 
ways does  what  he  wants  to.  Obeying 
that  impulse,  he  leans  over  at  the  opera 
and  scratches  the  decollete  back  of  a 
voung  woman  who  is  too  polite  to  do  it 
herself.  Forthwith  his  adventures  begin, 
for  the  object  of  his  unique  attention  not 
only  does  not  resent  it,  but  selects  him  to 
save  her  from  the  machinations  of  a 
blackmailer.  Just  to  show  his  originality, 
Mr.  Hughes  has  the  hero  enter  and  leave 
a  bachelor.  The  story  itself  is  not  par- 
ticularly humorous,  but  it  is  very 
shrewdly  adapted  to  the  screen  and  pos- 
sesses delightful  subtitles,  captions  which 
"kid"  the  action  without  hurting  the 
story.  The  result  is  something  new  in 
film  technique — a  sort  of  after-dinner 
story  told  with  dry  celluloid  humor. 
T.  Roy  Barnes,  a  former  "nut"  comedian 
in  the  varieties,  stands  out  of  "Scratch 
My  Back"  like  a  house  afire.  You'll 
hear  more  on  the  screen  of  this  Barnes, 
or  we  miss  our  guess. 

William  Faversham  is  making  his  re- 
turn to  the  screen  in  "The  Man  Who 
Lost  Himself,"  (Selznick).  This  story 
of  a  British  nobleman  and  a  penniless 
American  who  look  exactly  alike,  sug- 
gests "The  Masquerader."  The  English- 
man is  in  the  grip  of  creditors  and  black- 
mailers, and  he  commits  suicide  secretly, 
leaving  the  American  in  his  place.  The 
newcomer  solves  all  the  difficulties — ex- 
cept the  earl's  wife.  Love  enters  here 
and —  But  why  tell  the  denouement? 
"The  Man  \\'ho'Lost  Himself"  held  our 
interest  very  well.  Mr.  Faversham  does 
distinguished  work,  too  distinguished, 
perhaps,  to  suggest  a  down-and-out 
.American  suddenly  thrust  into  an  earl's 
shoes.  He  touched  the  role  here  and 
there  with  a  deft  comic  hand,  which 
leads  us  to  speculate  upon  Mr.  Faver- 
sham's  film  possibilities  in  high  comedy. 
Hedda  Hopper  contributes  a  genuinely 
fine   performance   as   the  wife,   a   well- 


bred,  worldly  and  understanding  woman. 
At  last  a  heroine  who  possesses  some- 
thing aloft  besides  curls !  George  D. 
Baker's  direction  is  very  workmanlike. 

"The  Sea  Wolf,"  (Paramount),  as  re- 
vived with  Noah  Beery  in  Hobart  Bos- 
worth's  original  role  of  Jack  London's 
caveman  of  the  North  Pacific,  struck  us 
as  being  'way  above  the  average,  li  you 
are  not  familiar  with  London's  virile  and 
tragic  tale  of  "Wolf"  Larsen,  seal-hunt- 
ing schooner  skipper,  you  should  be. 
Here  is  an  unusual  novel  of  the  primitive 
in  man  in  combat  with  the  mind. 

We  want  to  congratulate  Mr.  Beery 
upon  his  performance  as  the  Sea  Wolf. 
A  mighty  good  bit  of  work  it  is,  care- 
fully and  skilfully  shaded.  Mabel  Ju- 
liene  Scott  and  Tom  Forman  are  satis- 
factory as  the  two  scions  of  the  rich 
stranded  aboard  "Wolf's"  hell-ship. 

Olive  Thomas  is  more  interesting  in 
"The  Flapper,"  (Selznick),  Frances 
Marion's  boarding-school  opus,  than  in 
any  vehicle  we  have  )'et  obser\'ed  her. 
Miss  Marion  endeavors  to  hit  a  feminine 
"Seventeen."  satirizing  girlish  adoles- 
cence as  Booth  Tarkington  did  with  cal- 
low boyhood.  The  trouble  here  is  that 
the  picture  is  entirely  too  long  for  its 
story  and,  again,  that  the  director  mis- 
takes burlesque  for  satire.  The  tale  fre- 
quently becomes  preposterous.  The  crook 
element,  for  instance,  is  dragged  in  by 
the  ears  and  does  not  ring  true.  The 
plot?  The  kid  romance  of  two  young 
people  in  adjoining  boarding  and  military 
schools.     Rather  weak. 

Will  Rogers'  latest.  "Jes'  Call  Me  Jim," 
(Goldwyn).  is  quite  fearful.  Here  Rogers 
is  made  to  fit  a  trite  old  melodrama,  with 
the  result  that  his  human  and  humorous 
qualities  are  engulfed.  Thru  a  conspiracy, 
an  inventor  is  kept  in  a  wretched  asylum 
cell.  How  he  is  rescued  and  restored  to 
health  by  Jim,  (played  by  Rogers),  forms 
the  theme,  such  as  it  is.  W'e  like  Irene 
Rich  as  the  girl  of  the  drama.  The 
director,  Clarence  Badger,  gives  no  credit 
for  an  audience's  imagination.  And, 
judging  from  the  eternal  flashbacks,  he 
thinks  they  cannot  remember,  either. 

"The  Silver  Horde."  (Goldwyn),  based 
upon  Rex  Beach's  romance  of  the  salmon 
industry  in  Alaska,  sounds  a  healthy 
outdoor  note.  We  are  quite  sure  it  will 
interest  you.  "The  Silver  Horde"  con- 
cerns the  efforts  of  the  salmon-canning 
trust  to  get  possession  of  a  certain  valu- 
able river  property  at  any  cost.  But  the 
plotters  are  foiled  and.  when  the  silver 
salmon  horde  sweep  up  the  Kalvik  River, 
the  fighters  win  their  battle.  Myrtle 
Stedman  stands  out  of  "The  Silver 
Horde"  thru  her  splendid  performance 
as  Cherry  Melotte,  Rex  Beach's  fasci- 
nating heroine  of  the  Northland.  Betty  • 
Blythe  is  effectively  present,  too.  Frank 
Lloyd's  direction  is  praiseworthy. 

.Anita  Stewart  did  not  at  all  interest 
us  in  "The  Yellow  Typhoon,"  (First 
National),  based  upon  Harold  Mac- 
Grath's  romance  of  twin  sisters,  one  bru- 
nette and  fearfully  good,  the  other  blonde

(yinety-sevcn) 


and — well — !  Miss  Stewart  plays  them 
botli,  the  golden-haired  adventuress,  Ber- 
tha, alias  "The  Yellow  Typhoon,"  and 
the  dark-tressed  Hilda,  who  serves  Uncle 
Sam  in  the  secret  service.  Miss  Stewart 
cannot  remotely  suggest  MacGrath's 
siren  of  the  lonely  spots.  As  for  the 
story,  it  is  the  veriest  piffle. 

Bryant  Washburn  has  another  amus- 
ing comedy  in  "Mrs.  Temple's  Tele- 
gram," (Paramount),  nowhere  near  as 
good  as  "The  Six  Best  Cellars,"  but  pos- 
sessing its  laughs.  Adapted  from  the 
well-known  stage  farce,  it  revolves 
around  the  efforts  of  a  young  husband 
to  explain  his  all-night  absence  from 
home.  He  has  been  innocently  locked 
up  on  a  department  store  roof  with  a 
feminine  customer — but  he  doesn't  dare 
own  up  to  this.  All  sorts  of  complica- 
tions result,  of  course.  Wanda  Hawley 
is  an  excellent  foil  as  the  wife. 

Breezy  and  entertaining  is  "The 
Dancin'  Fool."  (Paramount),  in  which 
the  redoubtable  Wallie  Reid  plays  a  jug 
salesman  by  day  and  a  cabaret  dancer 
by  night.  No  doubt  you  read  the  story 
in  a  recent  issue  of  The  Classic  Bebe 
Daniels  lends  colorful  aid  as  Junie  Budd, 
'Ves'  Tibbie's  dancing  partner.  Reid  isn't 
always  spontaneous  in  this  comedy,  for, 
in  the  early  scenes,  he  is  required  to  play 
a  homespun  lad  from  the  hinterlands. 
If  there  is  one  thing  Reid  cant  do — it's 
this.  The  hay-,seed  atmosphere  here  ex- 
ists only  in  the  "B'gosh!"  subtitles. 

As  a  screen  story.  Zane  Grey's  "Riders 
of  the  Dawn."  (Hodkinson),  based  upon 
his  "Desert  of  Wheat,"  is  a  bit  out  of  the 
beaten  track.  It  deals  with  the  wheat 
farmers  of  the  Middle  West,  the  so- 
called  destructive  machinations  of  the 
I.  W.  W.,  (altho  they  are  at  no  time 
called  by  name),  and  the  ultimate  triumph 
of  a  returned  soldier-farmer  over  the  evil 
element.  Roy  Stewart  is  the  stalwart 
hero.    A  passable  photoplay. 

We  looked  forward  with  unusual  in- 
terest to  seeing  Louise  Glaum  in  her 
latest,  "Sex,"  (Hodkinson).  "As  ye 
siren,  .so  shall  ye  reap,"  seems  to  be  the 
thesis,  for  the  vamp,  played  by  Miss  Glaum, 
wins  a  married  man  away  from  his  happy 
home.  But,  when  a  rich  youth  appears 
on  the  horizon,  she  tosses  her  married- 
and-about-to-be-divorced  admirer  aside. 
She  herself  marries  and,  lo  and  behold, 
another  adventuress  lures  him  off.  Thus 
is  the  ex-siren  paid  off  in  her  own  wiles. 
Married  life,  according  to  "Sex"  and  the 
De  Mille  dramas,  seems  to  be  just  one 
darned  vampire  after  another.  Which 
we  rather  doubt.  "Sex,"  by  the  way, 
paints  a  picture  of  New  York  night  life 
such  as  it  is  supposed  to  be  and  isn't,  a 
maze  of  mad  parties,  with  chorines 
dancing  upon  tables,  youthful  million- 
aires drinking  —  whisper  —  champagne 
from  slippers,  etc. 

'Sex"  may  cause  a  gasp  or  two  in  the 
provinces,  but  it  is  really  pretty  dull 
screen  fare. 

"A  Modern  Salome,"  (Metro),  with 
one  Hope  Hampton,  comes  pretty  near 
meeting  our  idea  of  the  worst  picture  of 
the  celluloid  year.

As  a  matter  of  fact 

Your  first  R-E-A-L  cigarette 
pleasure  will  come  with  Camels! 

YOU'LL  swing  into  the  Camel  procession  as  easily 
and  as  delightedly  as  any  of  the  thousands  of 
smokers  who  have  found  these  cigarettes  an  abso- 
lute revelation  in  quality,  in  refreshing  flavor,  in 
mellow  mildness  and  in  body ! 

Camels  are  unlike  any  cigarette  you  ever  puffed. 
They  are  a  creation— an  expert  blend  of  choice 
Turkish  and  choice  Domestic  tobaccos.  As  sure  as 
you  are  a  foot  high  you  will  prefer  Camels  blend  to 
either  kind  of  tobacco  smoked  straight !  They  are 
so  delightful,  so  unusual  in  every  way  you  consider 
a  cigarette. 

Camels  fit  in  with  your  cigarette  desires  just  one 
hundred  per  cent!  The  satisfaction  they  impart  to 
smokers  is  simply  joyous. 

Camels  will  not  tire  your  taste!     Smoke  them 
Jiberally— always  with  keen  relish!     And,  Camels 
leave  no  unpleasant  cigaretty  aftertaste 
nor  unpleasant  cigaretty  odor. 

You'll  prove  out  our  enthusiasm  when 
you  compare  Camels  with 
any  cigarette  in  the 
world  at  any  price!

THE  GIRL  ON  THE  COVER 
(.Painted  by  Leo  Siclke,  Jr.,  from  a  Photograph  by  Apeda.) 
There  is  no  gainsaying  the  fact  that  the  judges  certainly  showed  an 
unusual    power    of    far-sightedness    when    they   chose    as   one    of    the    four 
winners  of  the   Fame  and   Fortune  Contest  of    1919,  Anita  Booth.      Miss 
Booth  has  proved  her  screen  adaptability  and  talent  by  her  work  for  the 
Selznick    Picture   Corporation    lately,   and   the    latest   rumor   to    reach   our 
always-attentive-where-Anita-is-concerned  ears,    is    to    the    effect    that    she 
is  about  to    sign   with  the    Famous    Playcrs-Lasky   Corporation. 
The   Classic  will   always  keep  an   interested   eye  on    the   cinema  progress  of  this   little 
Southern   beauty, — and   without  hesitation,   prognosticates  that   Anita   wdl    go    far!

Millions  of  People  Can  Write 
Stories  and  Photoplays  and 

Dorit  Know  It/ 


THIS  is  the  startling  assertion  recently 
made  by  one  of  the  highest  paid  writers 
in  the  world.  Is  his  astonishing  statement 
true?  Canit  be  possible  there  are  countless 
thousands  of  people  yearning  to  write,  who 
really  can  and  simply  haven't  found  it  out? 
Well,  come  to  think  of  it,  most  anybody  can  tell 
a  story.  Why  can't  most  anybody  write  a  story? 
Why  is  writing  supposed  to  be  a  rare  gift  that 
few  possess?  Isn't  this  only  another  of  the 
Mistaken  Ideas  the  past  has  handed  down  to 
us?  Yesterday  nobody  dreamed  man  could  fly. 
To-day  he  dives  like  a  swallow  ten  thousand

"The  time  will 
come,"  writes  the  au- 
thority quoted  above, 
"when  millions  of 
people  will  be  writ- 
ers— there  will  be 
countless  thousands 
of  playwrights, 
novelists,  scenario, 
magazine  and  news- 
paper \vr  iters — they 
are  coming,  coming 
— a  whole  new  world 
of  them  !'*  And  do 
you  know  what  these 
writers-  to-be  are 
doing  now?  Why, 
they  are  the  men — 
armies  of  them — 
young  and  old,  now 
doing  mere  clerical 
work,  in  offices, 
keeping  books,  sell- 
ing merchandise,  or 
even  driving  trucks, 
running  elevators, 
street  cars,  waiting 
on  tables,  working 
at  barber  chairs, 
following  the  plow, 
or  teaching  schools 
in  the  rural  dis- 
tricts: and  women, 
young  and  old.  by 
scores,  now  pound- 
ing typewriters,  or 
standing       behind 


counters,  or  running  spindles  in  factories,  bend-

Yes — you  may  laugh — but  these  are  The 
Writers  of  Tomorrow, 

For  writing  isn't  only  for  geniuses  as  most 
people  think.  Don't  you  believe  the  Creator 
gave  you  a  story-writing  faculty  just  as  He  did 
the  greatest  writer?  Only  maybe  you  are  simply 
"bluffed"  by  the  thought  that  you  "haven't  the 
gift."  Many  people  are  simply  afraid  to  try. 
Or  if  they  do  try,  and  their  first  efforts  don't 
satisfy,  they  simply  give  up  in  despair,  and  that 
ends  it.  They're  through.  They  never  try 
again.  Yet  if,  by  some  lucky  chance,  they  had 
first  learned  the  simple  rules  of  writing,  and 
then  given  the  imagination  free  rein,  they  might 
have  astonished  the  world!

write,  suddenly  find  it  out.  How  the  Scenario  Kings  and 
the  Story  Queens  live  and  work.  How  bright  men  and 
women,  without  any  special  experience,  learn  to  their  own 
amazement  that  their  simplest  Ideas  may  furnish  brilliant 
plots  for  Plays  and  Stories.  How  one's  own  Imagination 
may  provide  an  endless  gold  mine  of  Ideas  that  bring 
Happy  Success  and  Handsome  Cash  Royalties.  How  new 
writers  get  their  names  into  print.  How  to  tell  if  you 
ARE  a  writer.  How  to  develop  your  "story  fancy." 
weave  clever  word-pictures  and  unique,  thrilling,  realistic 
plots.  How  your  friends  may  be  your  worst  judges.  How 
to  avoid  discouragement  and  the  pitfalls  of  Failure.

Simple  Rules  oF 
Drawing  /^/Vr/' 


Become  an  Artist 

If  you  have  ever  wanted  to  become  an  artist  liere  is  the  opportunity  that  you 
liave  been  waiting  for!  We  have  brought  tiie  principles  of  drawing  riglit  down 
to  fundamentals.  Through  our  wonderfully  simple  home  study  course  in  art  hun- 
dreds of  men  and  women  have  become  high  salaried  artists.  And  so  can  you! 
A  few  hours  a  week  of  study  is  all  that  is   required. 


Wonderful  New  Method 
This  amazingly  simple  method  makes  it 
pnssil>le  for  aiii/one  to  learn  Ilhistratincr, 
Desifrning  or  Cartooning.  All  superfluous 
technique  and  dry  theory  is  omitted.  You 
enjoy  studying— it's  actually  fascinating ! 
In  a  few  weeks  you  should  be  drawing  pic- 
tures that  you  can  sell — pictures  that  you 
never  before  thought  could  come  from  your 
pencil.  You  will  lie  astounded  at  your  own 
rapid  progress!  Many  of  our  students  have 
gotten  as  high  as  $75  for  a  single  drawing 
even  before  they  finished  the  course.  Get 
into  this  field  of  big  opportunities!  No 
profession  is  more  fascinating  or  better 
paying. 

Hundreds  of  Trained 
Artists  Needed 

Never  before  have  artists  been  in  such  big 
demand  as  they  are  right  now — today.  Maga- 
zines and  newspapers  cannot  get  enough  of 
good  cartoons.  Designers  are  at  a  premium. 
Business  concerns  are  actually  bidding 
against  each  other  for  the  services  of  men 
and  women  to  handle  their  art  work.  Every- 
where there  is  a  crying  scarcity  of  trained 
artists.  There  are  hundreds  of  vacancies  in 
all  parts  of  the  country.  Follow  the  foot- 
steps of  our  successful  graduates  and  stu- 
dents! Many  of  them  are  now  making  from 
$75  to  $250  a  week.  You  can  do  as  well !  A 
little  study  in  your  leisure  moments  each 
dav  is  all  that  is  necessar\'.

Your  complexion  tells 

a  story  to  the  world 


How  fearlessly,  how  confident- 
'y>  thp  girl  with  a  fresh,  soft, 
lovely  skin  meets  the  eyes  of 
the  world!  Nothing  to  conceal!  For 
almost  alvrays  a  clear,  radiant  com- 
plexion is  an  indication  of  a  buoyant, 
well  poised  nature,  healthful  living 
and  fastidious  habits. 
I  Nothing  so  quickly  creates  an  im- 
pression of  your  personality  as  your 
skin.  By  keeping  it  soft,  clear, 
radiant — you  can  make  it  speak  in- 
stantly, unmistakably  of  fastidious 
freshness  and  charm. 

Don't  let  your  skin  tell  a  story  of 
neglect  or  thoughtless  habits.  Even 
if  through  the  wrong  kind  of  treat- 
ment }our  complexion  has  lost  the 
smoothness  and  freshness  it  should 
have,  you  can  give  it  back  the  color 
and  clearness  that  make  other  girls' 
complexions  so  attractive. 

For  your  skin  is  constantly  chang- 
ing. Each  day  old  skin  dies  and  new 
skin  takes  its  place.  And  you  will 
find  that  this  new  skin,  if  given  the 
care  its  particular  need  demands,  will 
respond  instantly  and  gratifyingly. 


Perhapsyou  sufFerfrom  that  embar- 
rassing fault  of  so  many  complexions 
— an  oily  skin,  and  a  nose  that  will 
get  shiny.  To  correct  this  excessive 
oiliness  use  this  special  treatment: 

Every  night  with  warm  water 
work  up  a  heavy  lather  of  Wood- 
bury's Facial  Soap  in  your  hands. 
Apply  it  to  your  face  and  rub  it  into 
the  pores  thoroughly — always  with 
an  upward  and  outward  motion. 
Rinse  with  warm  water,  then  with 
cold — the  colder  the  better.  If 
possible,  rub  your  face  for  thirty 
seconds  with  a  piece  of  ice. 

Use  this  treatment  regularly  every 
night,  and  see  what  an  improvement 
it  gradually  makes  in  your  appear- 
ance— how  much  firmer  and  drier 
your  skin  becomes  under  this  care.

DORIS  MAY 

A  star  over-night  is  the  past  history  of  Doris  May,  the  better-half  of  the  Douglas 
MacLean-Dons  May  combination,  which  has  so  successfully  ridden  the  top  waves 
of  popularity  lately  Miss  May  is  the  kind  of  girl  who  makes  you  think,  no  matter 
how  blase  you  may  be,  that  after  all  this  old  world  has  some  things  in  it  which  are  real

chaperon  and  perfect  propriety  were  lurking 
in  the  immediate  background. 

I  found  Bessie  Love  in  her  dressing-room, 
fastening  at  the  neck  a  suit  cut  in  a  girlish 
fashion  with  a  bolero  jacket  and  a  skirt  suffi- 
ciently tight  for  her  to  feel  that  it  was  restrain- 
ing, for  later,  she  pulled  it  up  over  her  knees, 
with  a  laughingly  apologetic  "You  dont  care?" 
and  sat  tailor- fashion  on  the  edge  of  a  chaise- 
longue  in  one  corner  of  the  room. 

She  had  just  finished  making  some  tests  of 
costume  and  make-up  for  "The  Old  Curiosity 
Shop."  She  came  towards  the  door,  one  hand 
holding  in  place  the  still  unfastened  blouse  and 
the  other  extended  in  the  customary  greeting. 

I  was  surprised  that  she  should  be  so  small; 
smaller  by  far  than  she  looks  to  be  on  the 
screen.  Her  hair  is  dark  yellow  and  very  fine. 
You  would  notice  her  broad  forehead  and  large, 

oval-shaped    eyes 


BcBsie  Love  is  tiny, 
delicate  and  appealing 
in  appearance,  but  not

i:r  name  is  Juanita  Horton.  but  they  call  her  Bes- 
.  sie.  Lo\e.  just  like  that,  as  tho  it  were  written 
with  a  comma.  Or  sometimes  they  pronounce 
it  Bessie  Love,  as  tho  it  were  all  on?  word,  with  the 
accent  on  the  last  syllable.  But,  ln^F-'-wcr  they  may 
say  it.  they  say  it  all.  \o  one  ever  thinks  of  abbre- 
viating it  to  Bessie. 

She's  Bessie.  Love,  to  her  father  and  mother,  her 
aunts  and  uncles,  and  even  her  cousins,  many  of 
whom  she  has  never  seen. 

If  her  name  is  to  be  abbreviated,  they  will  tell  you, 
let  it  be  abbreviated  to  Love;  "Miss  Love"  for 
strangers.  One  fancies  that  the  masculine  stranger, 
at  least,  must  have  an  irresistible  desire  to  take  her 
hand  and  say.  "Little  girl,  let  me  protect  you,"  this 
in  spite  of  capable-looking  eyes  that,  most  unmis- 
takably, have  .strength  of  character  behind  them, 

Bessie  Love  is  not  weak.  Tiny,  she  is,  delicate  and 
ajipealing  in  ajipearance,  but  not  weak.  .She  makes 
you  think  almost  irresistibly  of  Riley's  ".\n  Old 
Sweetheart  of  Mine";  not  .so  much  of  any  particular 
ver.se  as  of  the  entire  poem  and  the  s|)irit  of  it. 

You  will  remember  "that  in  the  beginning  he  spoke 
of  spicing  the  good  a  trifle  with  a  little  dust  of  harm, 
and  then  in  the  end  there  proved  not  to  be  any  harm 
at  all :     Bessie  Love  reminds  one  of  that. 

You  can  imagine  her  as  being  slightly  unconven- 
tional, hut  you  would  also  feel  quite  certain  that  a

showed  the  traces  of  a  make-up  hastily  re- 
moved, making  her  look,  somehow  or  other, 
like  a  mischievous  elf  from  a  Maxfield 
Parrish  picture. 

"I  believe,"  she  said,  "in,  as  nearly  as  pos- 
sible, absolute  realism  when  it  comes  to  get- 
ting atmosphere  for  a  picture.  When  we 
were  making  'The  Sawdust  Ring,'  I  spent 
three  weeks  with  a  circus.  The  first  few  days 
I  enjoyed,  but  after  that  I  grew  dreadfully 
tired.  We  were  always  on  the  go,  moving 
all  the  time,  and  it  wasn't  very  pleasant  to 
get  up  and  catch  trains  at  any  old  hour  of 
the  night  as  a  regular  thing. 

"And  it  was  rather  funny,  too.  I  dreaded 
going,  because  I  thought,  in  a  vague  way, 
the  same  thing  of  circus  people  that  some 
from  the  outside  seem  to  think  of  the 
people  of  the  screen.  Of  course,  when  I 
mentioned  this  to  professional  friends,  I 
was  laughed  at.  They  explained  that  there 
is  more  devotion  to  the  family  shown  among 
circus  people  than  in  any  other  class,  and  I 
found  it  so.  I  grew  to  love  some  of  the 
'cooch'  dancers  .  .  .  they  were  the  dearest 
girls  .   .   . 


I 


Miss  Love  was  featured 
as  a  "Griffith  find"; 
played  opposite  Bill  Hart 
m  her  second  picture, 
"The  Aryan";  was  with 
Douglas  Fairbanks  in  her 
Tiext  two,  "The  Good-Bad 
Man"  and  "Reggie  Mixes 
In" — and  in  her  fifth  pic- 
ture, "Sister  of  Six,"  she 
became  a  star 


"And  now  we  are  going  to 
London  on  location  for  the  ex- 
teriors of  'The  Old  Curiosity 
Shop.'  We'll  probably  have  to 
come  back  here  for  the  interiors ; 
I've  heard  that  the  studios  in 
England  are  impossible !" 

Having  spent  almost  her  en- 
tire life  in  Los  Angeles,  Bessie 
Love    has    seen    comparatively 
little  of  the   world   outside   the 
Western  city.     But.  unlike  most  professionals,  she  loves  to 
write  letters,  and  she  has  carried  on  an  extensive  correspon- 
dence with  numerous  friends,  relatives,  fans  and  exhibitors. 
She  did  not  make  her  first  visit  to  New  York  until  she  was 
an  established  star. 

"But  I  found  that  I  had  friends,  not  only  in  New  York,  but 
all  along  the  way,"  she  said. 

"Of  course,  most  of  them  knew  me  very  much  better  than 
I  knew  them  .  .  .  isn't  it  peculiar  how  well  you  grow  to  know 
people  from  just  seeing  them  on  the  screen? 

"In  connection  with  that,  an  exhibitor,  visiting  here,  told  me 
ratlier  an  amusing  thing.  He  said  that  he  had  been  showing 
Bill  Hart's  pictures  in  his  theatef  for  so  long  that  Bill  Hart 
became  to  him  the  most  familiar  figure  in  the  world.  And 
then,  several  days  ago,  he  came  face  to  face  with  Bill  in  the 
lobby  of  the  Alexandria. 

"  'Do  you  know,  I  was  absolutely  offended  with  him  for  a 
moment  because  he  hadn't  recognized  me,'  said  this  exhibitor.

The  Menace  of  the  Movies 


Bv 
FREDERICK  JAMES  SMITH 


Is  a  iji-eat  Wall  Suei't  colossus  rearing  itself  in  motion  pictures — 
a  colossus  that  will  he  blind  to  progress,  initiative  and  all  that  is 

artistic'  So  believes  Whitman  Bennett,  now  an  independent 
photoplay  |)roducer,  hut  for  years  a  foremost  cog  in  that  huge  lilm 
machine,  the  Famoiis  I'laycrs-I.asky  Corporation. 

Relieving  this.  Mr.  Bennett  has  withdrawn  from  the  citadel  and 
cast  his  fortunes  with  the  independents.  His  reasons  form  a  va.stly 
illuminating  glimpse  into  the  modern  making  of  the  silent: drama. 

"The   making  of  motion   pictures  is   rapidly   reaching  the   point 
where  it  will  be  dominated  by  one  or- 
ganization, ju.st  as  the  theatrical  world 
was  once  held  in  the  hands  of  Klav\ 
and   Erianger.   Charles    Frohman   and 
other  leaders  of  the  'Syndicate.'     As 
yet  this  film  organization  constitutes 
no    out-and-out    menace 
to  photoplay  progress. 
Remember  that  the  ol<l 
stage  syndicate  did   not 
begin    to    obstruct    dra- 
matic   progress   until    it 
absolutely  controlled  the 
country's  theaters.  Then 
its  greed  as.serted  itself. 
"I  believe  this  motion 
picture   combine   will 
number    the    Famous 
F'layers.   Goldwyn   and 
Metro  forces,     I  do  not 
place  the  blame  on  any 
of  the  leaders  of  the?e 
companies,  such  as  Rich- 
ard   Rowland    or    Jesse 
Lasky,  whom  I  highly  re-

says  Whitman  Bennett 
who  has  cast  his  fortunes 
with  the  independent  pro- 
ducers. At  the  top  and

Mr.  Bennett's  first  pro- 
duction, starring  Lionel 
Barrymore 


sjiect.  Rut  Wall  .Street  inter- 
ests have  been  slowly  seeping 
in  and  actpiiring  control. 
"Wall  .Street  is  always  a 
ttle  slow.  Remember  that  it 
was  the  film  [lioneers  who  went 
out  and  secured  the  money  to 
bring  pictures  to  their  [iresent 
'evel.  They  worked  up  the 
credit  and  backing.  Then 
Wall  .Street  began  to  take  no- 
tice, to  study  the  business  and 
to  'get  in.'  Right  now  I  be- 
lieve the  opinion  in  the  .Street 
is  that  'the  motion  ])icture 
business  is  cooked  and  ready 
to  eat.' 

"Wall  .Street  cajiital  has 
never  been  necessary.  Knough 
money  passes  thru  the  country's 
box-offices  to  support  the  industry, 
if  pro|ierly  handled.  Kxtravagance, 
mismanagement  and  business  er- 
rors, coupled  with  over-ambition, 
have  brought  Wall  Street  into  the 
field.  The  result  is  that  the  men  who  fought 
all  these  years  for  the  best  in  pictures  are 
being  crowded  out.  .Affiliations  of  and 
interests  of  Kuhn  Loeb,  the  Morgans  and 
the  Duponts  will  control  the  photoplay. 

"The  outcome  is  self-evident.  It  is  the 
difference  between  the  showman  and  the 
speculator.  Money  interests  are  out  to  get 
the  most  out  of  the  business  with  an  outlav 
held  to  minimum.  What  does  Wall  .Street 
care  for  art — for  the  progress  of  the  photo- 
])lay  ? 

"The  screen,  like  the  stage,  is  a  segre- 
gated artistic  business.  It  has  never  and  it 
can  never  thrive  commercialized.  You  can- 
not take  your  audience  behind  the  scenes 
and  let  it  .see  the  wheels  working  and  still 
be  .successful.

The  Joyous  Pagan 


TiiK  blonde  pagan!  It  sounds  like  one  of  Berta  Ruck's 
novels  or  a  Universal  picture,  but  in  reality  it's  a  descrip- 
tion of  Josephine  Hill.  For  that  tiny  person,  eighteen  in 
years  but  eighty  in  wisdom,  has  evolved  a  philosophy  and  a 
religion  all  her  own.  It  first  manifested  itself  to  me  in  the  tip- 
tiltedness  of  Josephine's  nose,  which  caught  my  attention  im- 
mediately upon  our  meeting. 

"But  it  was  just  good  luck  that  I  had  that  kind  of  a  nose!" 
declared  Josephine — and  thereby  hangs  a  tale — the  tale  of  the 
aforementioned  philosophy. 

Upon  a  pedestal  in  a  corner  of  the  room  reposed  a  curious 
carving.  It  was  a  small  idol,  apparently,  a  cross  between  a 
Billiken  and  a  Buddha,  hewn  from  ivory.  And  when  my  eyes 
were  not  engaged  with  Josephine's  nose,  they  were  hovering 
about  that  strange  image.  She  noticed  it,  of  course,  and  her 
mouth  crinkled  up  into  a  delighted  little  smile. 

"That,"  she  e.N|)lained,  "is  Korsukan,  my  god  of  luck.  Every 
morning  when  I  get  up  and  every  evening  before  I  go  to  bed,  I 
bow  before  him!  Isn't  that  funny!'"  She  giggled  at  her  own 
caprice — and  yet,  was  it  a  caprice?  As  I  learned  more  of  this 
strange  god,  I  began  to  suspect  that  his  solitary  worshiper  had 
discovered  a  page  from  the  Book  of  Wisdom. 

But  I  had  not  come  to  discuss  newborn  philosophies ;  rather 
to  unearth  the  life  story  of  this,  new  light  in  the  cinema 
heavens.  Her  marriage  with  Jack  Perrin,  the  Universal  star, 
was  the  talk  of  the  day.  I  could  scarcely  believe  that  the  tiny 
girl  before  me  was  a  wife. 

"But  now,  I  suppose,  you  bow  before  a  greater  power — the 
god  Husband ''"  I  suggested. 

"Indeed.  I  do  not!''  Her  eyes  widened  indignantly. 
"We've  been  married  only  three  days,  and  he  has  left  me 
already !'' 

■  Oh  !"  I  began  to  suspect  that  I  had  said  something  unfor- 
tunate. 

"But  I  cant  really  blame  him,"  she  continued  hastily.  "It's 
the  awful  company  he's  in!"  '  There  was  a  distinct  break  in 
her  voice.  I  mentally  belabored  myself  for  having  ventured, 
into  matrimonial  subjects  and  prayed  for  a  return  to  safe 
ground. 

"They've  sent  him  on  location  way  off  in  the  mountains !" 
she  finished. 

I  gasped  with  relief  and  hurriedly  switched  the  conversation 
back  to  Korsukan.  the  god  of  luck. 

"Long  ago,  when  I  was  a  very  little  girl  indeed,"  she  replied 
in  answer  to  my  questions,  "mother  used  to  tell  me  that  there 
was  a  little  fairy  named  Korsukan,  who  would  always  help  me 
out  of  difficulties  if  I  would  only  repeat  his  name  to  myself  a 
number  of  times — Kors-u-kan.  Kors-u-kan — course-you-can. 
Do  you  .see?  .\nd  I  always  found  that  if  I  said  Korsukan 
enough,  I  always  could!" 

"But  the  image  itself?''  I  enquired.  "Where  did  that  come 
from  ?" 

"Oh.  I  had  that  made  when  I  found  that  Korsukan  came 
thru  every  time.     It  was  the  decent  thing  to  do,  dont  you 
think?"    She  looked  at  me  rather  anxiou.sly. 
I  nodded  gravely. 

"And  when  it  came  time  for  me  to  make  my  own  living,  I 
found  that  my  little  god  was  quite  as  faithful  as  ever.     For  a 

long  time  I  traveled  with  father 
and  mother  on  the  vaudeville 
circuits,  doing  baby  roles.  But 
when  I  got  big" — she  flushed  a 
little  when  she  saw  me  glance  at 
her  feet ;  they  barely  touched  the 
floor  as  she  sat  in  the  big  rock- 
ing-chair!— "I  wanted  to  go  by 
myself.  Mother  was  a  little 
worried  by  the  idea.  I  think  she 
was  afraid  I  couldn't  succeed. 
But  I  just  said  Korsukan  over 
and  over  and  went  to  see  Gus 
Edwards.     He  was  very  nice  to

part  in  his  famous  'School-days'  tioupc!  I  played

left  to  enter  the  movies.  I  took  her  jiart.  that  of 
'Cuddles.'  It  was  lots  of  fun."  .She  smiled  happily 
at  the  memory. 

"Rut  how  did  y(ni  happen  to  enter  jiictures?"  I 
asked. 

"Oh,  1  got  to  thinking  about  it  when  Lila  left. 
.\nd  when  things  turned  out  so  nicely  for  her  I  felt 
even  more  eager  to  try  it.  I  felt  kind  of  doubtful  in- 
side, but  Korsnkan  said  yes. 

"The  first  man  I  went  to  see  was  l^dgar  Lewis.  He 
was  looking  for  a  leading  lady  for  "Love  and  the 
Law.'  I  determined  to  hit  high  and  so  I  walked  in 
and  asked  for  the  |)art.  When  I  saw  all  the  other 
girls  who  were  there,  I  felt  a  little  weak,  but  that 
darned  heatlien  god  kei)t  insisting.  I  put  up  a  good 
argument  and  when  the  afternoon  was  over,' all  were

make  up  his  mind,  so  he  called  his  wife.  For  some 
reason,  she  came  out  strong  for  the  pug.  .So  you

Mrs.  Lewis  was

Wi:  were  all  there,  Mary  Pickford,  ^Trs.  Pick  ford,  Jack 
Pickford  and  myself.     Now,  I  thought,  this  will  be  a 
fine  time  to  interview  Jack,  for  he  is  very  diffident  when 
it  comes  to  talking  about  himself  and  has  a  clever  way  of  side- 
stepping questions,  but,   with   his  mother  and   sister  present 
there  would  be  little  chance  for  this. 

Xow,  the  most  noticeable  characteristic  of  this  young  actor 
is  his  contagious  laugh. 

Beginning  deep  in  his  throat  as  a  chuckle,  it  ripplingly 
ascends  the  scale,  striking  each  jolly  tone,  and  I  am  willing  to 
wager  that  no  one  could  i)ossibly  resist  its  boyish  merriment. 
His  speaking  voice  is  unusually  soft,  with  a  little  drawl  sug- 
gestive of  the  South.  However,  he  was  born  far  from  the 
Mason  and  Di.\on  line,  away  up  in  Toronto,  Canada. 

Jack  is  the  baby  of  the  Pickford  family,  Mary  being  three 
years  his  senior,  Lottie  two.  He  was  less  than  a  year  old  when 
his  father  died,  and  he  followed  his  sisters  onto  the  stage  as 
soon  as  he  could  walk. 

Admitting  that  the  process  of  growing  uj)  requires  some 
time,  there  is  frequently  one  year  when  the  transition  seems 
very  marked  and  the  hoy  suddenly  becomes  a  man.  Jack  Pick- 
ford has  just  ii.issed  thru  this  kind  of  a  year  and,  tho  he  still

We  who  recall  his  splen-

with  its  roguishness  and 
whimsical  charm,  fervently 
hope  this  boyish  quality  will 
ever  abide  with  him. 

"That  was  a  great  story," 
he  remarked,  when  he  spoke 
of  it.  ■  "I  became  so  attached 
to  Tom   that   I    was  down-

Jack's  screen  career  began 
at  the  age  of  twelve,  when 
Mary  became  a  player  at 
old  Biograph.  He  played 
messenger  and  general 
utility  boy  around  the 
studio  in  those  palmy  days 
— and  little  thought  of 
stardom

and  over  down  the  hill  un- 
til we  landed  in  a  nice 
little  stream.  Do  you  re-

his  own  little  pet  name 
for  Mary. 

"Do  If"  echoed  Mary, 
with  emphasis,  and  sister 
and  brother  laughed  gaily  at  the  recollection. 

It  was  in  "Little  Pei)|)ina,"  as  Miss  Pickford's  foster- 
brother,  and  as  her  brother  in  "The  Girl  of  Yesterday," 
that  Jack  had  his  first  im|)ortant  roles. 

Then  came  that  series  of  youtlrful  romances  in  which 
he  and  dainty  Louise  Huflf  won  all  hearts  as  they  rol- 
licked thru  film  after  film.  Now  he  is  no  longer  rated  as  Mary 
Pickford's  clever  brother,  for  he  has  signed  with  the  Goldwyn 
Company  and  is  being  starred  in  the  boyish  sort  of  stories  in 
which  he  excels. 

"We've  just  finished  a  corking  picture,  'Little  Shepherd  of

The 
Silken 
Cotton 


Photograph  fay  Buhraoh 


I  WISH  that  I  might,  with  some 
authoritative  marshalling  of 
facts,  give  the  contra-distmctivc 
values  of  silk  as  silk  and  cotton  as 
cotton,  the  hetter  to  illustrate  the  great  descriptive  value  of 
my  title.  Not.  however,  being  scientifically  informed  beyond 
the  rather  general,  third-grammar-grade  knowledge  that  cot- 
ton grows  in  the  Southland  and  is  picturesquely  picked  by 
hand  by  transplanted  Africans,  and  that  silk  is  fearfully  and 
wonderfully  spun  by  delicate  and  specially  nurtured  worms, 
I  must  be  content  to  r^)eat  that  I  employ  the  title  illustratively, 
I  might  say  symbolically,  because  I  think  of  silk  as  something 
lustrous  and  smooth,  something  resilient  yet  firm,  exquisitely 
fine,  pleasing  to  the  eye,  to  the  touch,  to  the  general  sensibili- 
ties, something  with  a  super-elegance.  And  of  cotton  as  the 
firmer  texture,  the  durability  making  the  delicate  resilience  pos- 
sible, the  sturdiness  and  substantiality  without  which  the  bloom 
of  super-elegance  is  but  evanescent,  not  really  lasting  nor 
worth  the  having,  a  more  basic  quality  ... 

Perfectly,  to  my  mind,  does  this  contra.sting  title  describe  to 
me  Lucy  Cotton,  within  whose  slender,  equipoised  person  the 
contrast  becomes  at  once  a  blend,  subtle,  yet  firmly  knit. 

Cotton  and  silk  are  conscious  products.  They  are  the  results 
of  growth,  of  tending,  of  a  planned  and  ordered  development. 


They    mean    somclhini/. 
They  are  iiilendcd  to  mean 
something.      There    is 
thought    back    of    them; 
there  is  cnre  ]iut  into  them.   They 
have  a  definite  mission,  a  definite 
fulfilment    to    attain,    and    from 
them   stabilities  take   shape  and 
form,  and  dreams  are  spun  .   .   . 
Lucy  Cotton,  if  I  may  employ 
the  simile,  is  a  conscious  product. 
Her  rise  into  recognition  and  ac- 
claim  has   not   been   mere   hap- 
hazard chance,  brought  about  by 
some  lucky  turn  of  the  wheel,  by 
her   pretty    face,    by   a   box    of 
tricks.       She    is    the    conscious 
product  not  only  of  her  own 
careful  work-  and  play,  but  also  - 
of  her  mother's  hopes  and  plans 
and  the  wise  execution  of  both 
of  these.     Lucy  Cotton  and  her 
mother  have  been  building  ever 
since  Lucy,  very  tiny,  pirouetted 
before  a  mirror  in  a  manner  that, 
tho  the  foreca.st  was  long,  sug- 
gested to  her  discerning  mother 
an    atmos- 
phere   of 
footlights  and 
Cooper-Hew- 
itts .  .  .  since 
there  were  no 
Cooper-Hew- 
itts,   we    will 
ascribe    that 
to   interview- 
er's license. 

To  really 
know  and  ap- 
preciate Lucy 
Cotton  and 
what  she  has  done,  is  doing,  hopes  to  do,  you  would  have  to 
know  Lucy  Cotton's  mother.  You  would  have  to  talk  with  her 
mother.  H  you  gained  nothing  more — and  what  you  didn't 
gain  would  quite  certainly  be  your  own  lack — you  would  come 
away  with  a  wider  conception  of  the  possibilities  of  mother- 
hood than  the  one,  wide  enough  at  its  least,  we  think  of  in  the 
everyday. 

"Lucy,"  her  mother  told  me,  over  caviar  sandwiches  and 
coffee  in  a  remote  corner  of  the  Biltmore.  "is  the  projection  of 
my  early  thoughts  and  desires.  I  have  always  been  interested 
in  the  stage  and,  before  I  was  married,  had  my  own  personal 
aspirations  in  that  direction,  but  those  were  the  days  of  implicit 
filial  obedience  and  my  father's  mandate  to  the  contrary  was 
final  to  me.  When  I  married,  however,  I  determined  that  if 
ever  I  had  a  daughter  who  show-ed  the  slightest  inclination  for 
dramatic  work,  everything  possible  should  be  done  to  cultivate 
and  to  develop  that  tendency,  and  so  when  my  three  little  girls 
came  along  and  Lucy,  particularly,  began  to  give  little  hints  in 
her  unconscious  way,  I  began  at  once  a  consistent  preparation. 
"I  tried,  first  of  all,  to  instil  into  her,  into  all  of  them,  the 
miracle  of  self-development,  that  which  comes  from  within. 
The  balanced,  poised,  full  expression  of  the  individuality." 

Lucy  interpolated  softly,  "And  there  is  nothing  so  wonder- 
ful," she  said,  "as  to  feel  yourself  growing,  day  by  day,  broad-

ening,  learning,  fulfilling 
yourself.     Of   course, 
some    day,    I    hope    to 
marry,  to  have  children  of  my 
own.     I   think  every   real 
woman  does — that  is  a  part, 
a  great  part  of  the  develop- 
ment of  the  whole.     But  for 
the  present  I  want  just  self- 
e.xpression,  the  best  that  I  can 
give.     I  want  to  perfect  in  so 
far  as   perfection   is   possible 
this  stage  of  me  before  I  pass 
on  to  the  next." 

Lucy's  mother  took  up  the 
thread,    in    her    grey    eyes    a 
whimsical    reminiscence,    ten- 
der yet  not  devoid  of  humor. 
"I  tried  to  bring  them  up  in  a 
world  of  poetry,"  she  said.   "I 
read  to  them  a  great  deal — 
Longfellow,  all  of  the  poets, 
fairy-tales,  myths  and  legends. 
I   tried   to 
have  them 
live  a   life

a  sort  of 
mental 
fairyland,

little  incident  that  occurred  when  all  three  children  had  the 
measles.  A  caller  came  one  afternoon  and  Lucy  was  left  with 
her  alone  in  the  drawing-room  while  I  was  momentarily  called 
away.  When  I  returned  I  found  the  caller  removing  traces  of 
recent  mirth.  Lucy  had  informed  her,  she  told  me  between 
gasps,  that  the  little  red  spots  on  her  face  and  hands  and  other 
visible  portions  were  'red  flowers  growing  on  me.' 

"We  lived  in  Houston.  Texas,  you  know — Lucy  was  born 
there — and,  of  course,  she  went  to  school,  dancing  school, 
studied  music,  did  all  the  usual  things  a  little  girl  does  do. 
Later  she  studied  for  the  stage  under  Alma  McDowell, 
and  then,  when  we  felt  that  Houston  had  no  more  to  offer  us 
in  the  way  of  advantages  for  advancement,  we  gave  up  our 
home  there  and  came  to  New  York.  Here,  Lucy  studied  under 
Theodora  Ursula  Ervine  at  Carnegie  Hall  and  then  began  to 
have  her  practical  experience,  the  stage  itself."  'Most  every- 
body knows  about  Lucy  Cotton  and,  logical  consequence,  'most 
everybody  knows  what  she  has  done. 

"One  of  the  things  I  love  most  to  do,"  Lucy  said  to  me,  in  her 
effective,  delicately  modulated  tones,  "is  to  give  credit  to  every- 
one who  has  helped  me  on  my  way.  I  never  forget  any  one  of 
them  or  any  one  of  the  things  they  do  for  me.    Everyone  has 

(Twenty-five) 


been,  oh,  so  nice.  Ariadne  Holmes  Ed- 
wards, for  instance,  was  responsible  for 
my  introduction  to  Ina  Claire,  which  was 
my  first  success,  the  opening  door  .  .  .  Miss  Edwards  by  the 
way,  has  written,  among  other  songs,  'God  Bless  You,  My 
Dear,  sung  by  De  Luca  .  .  .  and  after  that  it  has  just  been 
a  series,  one  thing  after  another,  not  just  from  my  coming  to 
New  York,  but  from  the  beginning— the  beginning  of  mother's 
planning  and  my  working— and  I  have  worked.  The  first  night 
I  took  Ina  Claire's  part  in  'The  Quaker  Girl,'  for  instance  so 
many  people  asked  me  if  I  suffered  very  much  from  stage- 
fright.  I  hadn't  a  vestige  of  it.  I  was  prepared,  you  see.

MYRON   SiLZNiCK  is  just  tweiity-one.     Which  makes  him 
\>y  long  ndds  the  youngest  magnate  in  tlie  screen  world. 
While  Dtlier  young  men  of  his  age  are  freshmen  and 
sophomores  at  college,  with  their  business  dehut  some  years 
ahead,  Selznick  is  guiding  every  detail  of  the  destinies  of  a 

big  producing  organi-

himself. 

Because  the  young 
Mr.  .Selznick  is  a  son 
of  Lewis  J.  Selznick, 
it  is  commonly  as- 
sumed that  he  is  but  a 
juvenile  figurehead 
for  his  father.  Noth-

The  World 
and  His  Wife 


By 
FAITH   SERVICE 

Fictionized  from  the  Cosmopolitan 
Photoplay 


TitK  World  and  his  Wife  must  talk. 
There  is  no  help  for  it.  What  is 
more,  when  they  have  exhausted 
fact,  they  will  dip  into  fiction,  and  he 
who  listens  may  profit  more  or  less,  but 
just  so  long  as  there  is  talk,  just  so 
lone  are  there  ears  to  receive  the  talk  .  .  . 
ana  so  it  goes  .  .  . 

When  Feodora  became  betrothed  to 
Don  Julian  of  Seville,  the  World  told  his 
Wife  that  it  was  a  "money  match.'' 
Don  Julian  is  too  old,  the  tongues 
tattled,  too  old  for  the  beautiful  Feo- 
dora. She  should  have  a  lover  young  as 
a  sickle  moon,  and  slender,  with  a  guitar 
in  his  hand  and  songs  upon  his  mouth. 
Feodora  is  making  a  mistake.  She  is 
not  following  the  dictates  of  her  maiden 
heart.  No  good  will  come  of  it.  His 
Wife  echoed  back  the  World's  gossip. 
No  good  will  come  of  it,  she  predicted. 
She  might  have  added,  "So  let  us  keep 
on  talking.  Don  World,  and  see  what 
ninv  be  seen." 

As  usual,  the  World  and  his  Wife 
were  wrong.  Long,  long  before  Don 
Julian  told  the  beautiful  Feodora  of  his 
love  for  her  she  had  entertained  a  high 
and  holy  passion  for  him.  The  dreams 
she  had  dreamed  .  .  .  the  prayers  she 
had  offered  up  .  .  .  the  beads  she  had 
told  .  .  .  watching,  many  times,  his 
tall  figure  riding  past  the  courtyard  of 
her  home.  She  had  never  dared  to 
think  that  he  would  turn  the  eye  of  his 
fancy  upon  her. 

It  had  been  a  rather  beautiful  love, 
tender,  deep,  or  would  have  been  if  the 
World  and  his  Wife  had  quieted  their 
tongues  and  let  the  matter  rest. 

It  began  with  an  act  of  humanity 
on  the  part  of  Don  Julian.  Don  Sevillo 
had  been  his  oldest  and  dearest  friend. 
When  he  came  to  die,  some  few  months 
after  the  marriage  of  Julian  and  Feo- 
dora, he  begged  Don  Julian  to  keep  an 
eye  on  his  only  son,  ICrnesto.    "He  shall 

come  to  us."  Julian  promised;  "you  need  have  no  fear  for  his 
future,  I  give  you  my  oath." 

I'>nesto  came  to  live  at  the  Casa  Cranda.  At  first  he  was 
deep  in  the  dregs  of  his  sorrow  for  the  father  who  had  been 
more  than  father  to  him.  In  his  sorrow  I'eodora  ministered 
to  him,  for  his  sake,  but  more  for  Don  Julian's,  who  implored 
her  to  give  the  boy  her  tenderness  for  his  wound's  sake.  After 
that  she  continued  her  talks  and  walks  with  him.  her  rides  and 
moonlight  strolls,  because  he  told  her  of  a  vast  book  world  in 
vvliieh  he  had  mo\eil  and  had  his  being  since  first  he  could 
remember  anything,  and  Feodora.  avid,  but  not  overly  in- 
formed, drank  in  the  strange  atmospheres,  the  enchanted  places 
and  peoples,  and  seemed  to  expand  with  the  far-ofi'  perfumes, 
the  vibrations  of  other  hearts.     Don  Julian,  watching,  was,  at

first,    content.      He    loved    Feo-  It  had  been  a  rather  beau- 

dora    with    the    love    that    was  '""'.l"":*'  ^'"t"'  ^".^-.u

content    to   have    her    have    the  world  and  his  Wife  had 

desires   of   her   heart.      He    per-  quieted  their  tongues  and 

ceived   that   it   was  not   Krnesto  let  the  matter  rest 

to   whom   she   listened,   but   the 
things    of    which    he    told    her. 

.\nd  he  knew,  or  thought  he  knew,  that  Feodora  loved  him. 
If.  now  and  then,  it  came  to  him  that  Feodora  and  Frnesto 
were  mutually  young,  that  their  hlood  beat  dizzily  in  their 
veins,  while  his.  Don  Julian's,  was  slowing  down,  hf  remem- 
bered, too,  the  vows  Feodora  had  made  him  on  their  wedding 
morn,  the  passion  in  her  voice,  the  pulses  in  her  lips.  .Such 
things  do  not  lie.     I'acts  might  speak,  but  the  instinct   of  a

had  maintained  the  dignified  si- 
lence they  should  have  main- 
tained, the  sand  of  Seville  might  not  have  been  streaked  with 
tragic  blood  and  bruised  hopes  and  sorrows.  Don  Julian 
might  still  be — but  this  is  going  ahead  of  my  story. 

The  World  did  begin  to  talk.  At  first  in  a  whisjier,  then, 
louder  and  louder,  until  the  echoes  came  close  to  the  little 
circle  in  which  Don  Julian  and  Feodora  and  Ernesto  so  peace- 
fully and  unharmfully  moved. 

The  World  began  first  in  the  persons  of  Don  Severe  and 
his  wife.  Mercedes,  living  in  a  distant  town.  They  heard  of 
Ernesto's  presence  in  their  brother's  home,  and  they  had  very 
little  else  to  do  or  to  think  about  .  .  .  They  paid  him  a  visit, 
and  watched  Ernesto  and  Feodora,  deep  in  some  legend  they 
had  come  upon  together,  the  dark  heads  close  bent,  the  fore- 
finger of  the  girl  tracing  out  the  magic,  all  but  indecipherable 
words  for  the  eager,  dark  eyes  of  the  man. 

"It  is  bad.  Julian."  Severo  said,  and  shook  his  head. 

"You  have  forgotten  your  youlTi.  Don  Julian,"  the  Dona 
Mercedes  sighed ;  "you  are  blinding  your  eyes  and  closing 
your  ears." 

Julian  shook  his  head  imi)atiently.  "You  are  both  absurd," 
he  said ;  "they  are  bookworms,  the  pair  of  them.  They  take 
pleasure  in  talking  together,  in  poring  over  books,  in  arguin^ 
abstract  subjects  I  have  long  since  forgotten.  What  harm  in 
that,  can  you  say?" 

"The  questions  are  abstract,  my  dear  brother,"  Severo  made 
reply,  "but  those  young  heads  .  .  .  those  warm  hands,  all  but 
touching,  those  soft  lips  lingering  over  enchanted  .syllables  .  .  . 
ah,  Julian.  Julian,  how  you  have  lost  sense  of  the  call  of  the 
blood!  You  ...  sly  one  .  .  .  who  knew  it,  once,  so 
well  ..." 

That  was  the  beginning. 

The  next  day,  while  the  pair  were  reading,  Don  Julian  com- 


plained of  headache  and 
did  not  go  for  his  usual 
ride.  It  seemed  to  him, 
then,  that  the  tracing 
forefinger  of  Feodora 
lingered  overlong  on  the 
difficult  page,  until  that 
of  Ernesto  came  to  meet 
it.  When,  later,  they 
strolled  away  together, 
he  thought  their  shoul- 
ders touched  and  did  not 
pull  away,  and  it  hurt 
him,  for  the  first  time, 
that  they  did  not  insist, 
demand  that  he  accom- 
pany them.  He  seemed 
to  himself,  too,  to  be 
cumbersome  and  un- 
gainly. The  slim  height 
of  Ernesto  gave  him  an 
unaccountable  pang.  He 
was  a  dotard !  Listen- 
ing to  the  paltry  sus- 
picions of  his  brother 
and  his  wife,  who  had 
never  had,  nor  ever 
would,  anything  better 
to  spread  than  slander. 
Ernesto  was  his  father's 
son,  the  sword  blade, 
cleanly  kept,  of  honor. 
And  Feodora  .  .  .  why, 
Feodora  was  .  .  .  Don 
Julian  leaned  back  and 
closed  his  eyes  against 
the  piercing  sweetness 
of  what  Feodora  was 
to  him,  the  vivid  flower  of  his  heart  .    .    . 

But  after  that  Don  Julian  went  no  more  to  ride  when  the 
afternoon  readings  took  place,  and  when  Ernesto  and  Feodora 
rode  or  walked  he  did  not  wave  them  jovial  farewell,  but 
watched  them,  thru  wistful,  half  shut  eyes.  -  They  wore  their 
mantles  of  innocence  securely  or  shame  would  have  made  them 
see  the  pain  his  heart  was  nurturing. 

The  riper  beginning  came  when  Don  Alvarez,  a  supposed 
friend  of  the  three,  remarked  to  Don  Julian  one  afternoon  at 
their  club  that  he  had  seen  Ernesto  and  Feodora  riding  in  the 
morning.  "These  young  people,"  he  said,  with  a  sneer,  "ride 
solitary  paths,  it  seems  to  me,  and  linger  overlong,  Don  Julian, 
for  friends  on  literary  pilgrimages  bent." 

It  may  have  been  the  way  he  felt,  but  on  the  way  home  it 
seemed  to  Don  Julian  that  Ernesto  was  no  longer  his  young 
friend,  his  father's  son  and  their  good  comrade,  but  the  venom- 
ous enemy  that  lay  ready  to  snatch  from  him  the  flower  of  his 
heart.  Youth  spoke  to  him  with  its  many  beguiling  tongues. 
He  had  been  a  blind  fool  .  .  .  solitary  paths  .  .  .  dalliance 
.  .  .  what  flowers  had  they  picked,  those  twain,  on  what 
sequestered  paths  .   .   .  who  knew  ? 

When  he  had  reached  the  house  his  rage  and  fear  and  roused 
suspicion  had  all  but  consumed  him.  It  was  not  tempered  by 
sight  of  Ernesto  playing  a  guitar,  lazily,  while  Feodora  lay  at 
full  length  in  a  hammock  and  hummed  a  low,  accompanying 
tune.  They  loved,  he  told  himself,  insanely;  they  loved,  the 
young  two  of  them,  and  he,  Julian,  was  left  outside,  barred 
away  from  them,  alone  and  cold  .  .  .  With  his  temples  ham- 
mering and  his  tongue  twice  its  habitual  size,  he  told  Ernesto 
that  he  was  a  wife  robber,  a  snake  in  the  grass,  a  knife  in  the 
back,  a  menace,  a  curse.  "I  give  you  my  trust,'  he  snarled, 
beside  himself  at  sight  of  the  bewildered  young  faces;  "I  give 
you  my  trust,  a  sacred  thing  between  man  and  man,  and  that 
is  not  enough  for  you  .  .  .  you  take  my  wife,  too.  Steal  her — 
thief!    Low-down,  damnable  thief !" 

"Julian !"  Feodora's  voice  was  anguished,  shocked,  too, 
incredulous,  but  Julian  did  not,  would  not  hear  that  .   .   . 

(Tu-enty-eiffht) 


k 


Ydii  lie,  Don  Julian,"  ICrnesto  said,  "and  I  think  you  know 
it.  I  think  von  zcill  know  it  when  those  red  mists  of  other 
tonjjues  ha\e  passed  away.  Von  were  my  father's  friend. 
^'on  have  been,  until  this  hour,  my  {,'ood  friend.  You  are  an 
iilder  man.  The  least  and  the  most  I  can  do  for  you,  Don 
Julian,  is  to  leave  this  country." 

If  the  wagginj;  timjiue  of  the  World  had  jjiven  Ernesto  time 
to  make  jjood  liis  departure,  the  ensuing'  events  would  be  em- 
bryonic haiipeninys,  but  one  of  the  essentials  of  tongue-wag- 
i,'ing  is  the  amazing  inojiportuneness  with  which  it  0])erates. 
iunesto  was  dining  alone  at  his  club.  Like  most  keenly  sen- 
sitive, imaginative  persons,  he  was  suffering,  not  so  much  at 
ihougln  of  separation  from  I'eodora  as  at  the  injustice  dealt 
him  by  his  life-long  friend.  Far,  so  far  that  no  malice  could 
be  imputed,  beneath  all  other  thoughts,  Feodora's  darkly  lovely 
face  kept  recurring  U>  him  as  it  had  never  recurred  to  him 
before.  A  melancholy  seeped  thru  him  and  his  eyes  burned 
with  unshed  tears.  It  was  strange  to  him,  the  whole  of  it. 
I'eodora  .  .  .  why,  it  was  ab.surd.  And  yet,  these  recurrences 
of  her  image  .  .  .  the  t(jnes  of  her  voice  .  .  .  the  sudden  and 
somehow  stinging  mem- 
ory of  her  ineffably  ten- 
der palm  laid  on  his 
arm  .  .  .  memories  .  .  . 
how  infinitely  are  they 
more  potent  to  disturb 
than  facts !  ]'"or  memo- 
ries are  numbered  not 
among  the  <|uick,  but 
among  the  dead  .  .  . 
who.  being  dead,  still 
live  .   .   . 

"The  melancholy  lover 
broods  alone."  At  first 
l-"rnesto  did  not  hear  the 
mocking  voice  nor  so 
much  as  sense  the  fact 
that  Don  Alvarez  was 
addressing  himself  to 
him.  A  little  later,  and 
with  infinite  implication, 
it  was  repeated.  "The 
melancholy  lover  broods 
alone  .   .   . "' 

The  blood  pounded  in 
Frnesto's  head.  Don 
Julian  was  one  matter 
...  he  had  housed  him 
and  fed  him  and  his 
suspicions  were  not 
without  their  basis  in  a 
jiossible  suffering.  But 
Don  Alvarez,  knowing 
nothing,  caring  less, 
spattering  his  noisome 
mud  on  the  spotless 
robes  of  Feodora  .  .  . 
the  image  of  her  face 
shone  brightly  before 
him,  and  he  did  not 
know  what  he  had  done 
when  he  had  knocked 
Don  Alvarez  down  and 
challenged  him  to  a  duel. 
The  duel  would  be  a 
fatal  one  to  Ernesto. 
The  solitary  scholar  and 
])oet  had  no  more  chance 
than  a  wisp  of  straw  be- 
fore the  adroitness,  the 
skilled  professionalism 
of  Don  Alvarez.  It 
would  have  been  laugh- 
able had  not  the  matters 
of   life  and   death   been 


the  stakes.  "It  is  sheer  murder,"  said  friends  of  Ernesto. 
And  even  the  followers  of  Alvarez  showed  their  teeth  and 
shook  their  heads,  and  some  made  the  sign  of  the  cross.  "He 
was  full  of  promise,"  they  said  of  Ernesto. 

The  red  mists  may  have  cleared  away,  or  Julian  may  have 
realized  that  the  impending  duel  meant  that  Ernesto  was  de- 
fending the  honor  of  his  home,  or  it  may  have  been  merely  a 
strong  man's  sense  of  the  necessity  of  fair  play.  The  motives 
that  actuate  the  great  deeds  of  man  and  men  are  obscurely 
conceived.  Julian  gave  no  motive  for  deliberately  insulting 
Don  Alvarez  and  thus  taking  Ernesto's  place  in  the  duel. 

To  F'eodora  the  two  days 
seemed  to  be  a  mist,  a  sea  of 
blood  thru  which  she,  unwitting 
cause,  walked  sickishly,  dizzily. 
This  duel  between  Don  Julian 
and  Don  Alvarez  could  prove  to 
watching  Seville  but  one  thing — 
a  fundament  of  truth  in  the  talk 
about  her  friendship  for  Ernesto.

If  he  could  only  go,  take  his  far  tri|)  before  the  duel.  If,  after 
the  affair  were  settled,  Ernesto  were  gone,  the  gape  might  soon 
be  healed,  things  might  then  go  on  as  tho  this  storm  had  never 
been.  I'eople  would  forget,  with  the  spur  to  their  remembering 
gone,  tione  .  .  .  the  word  hit,  unawares,  on  her  consciousness 
anil  stayed  there,  and  chilled  her  .  .  .  She  shook  it  off.  Shi; 
had  become  used  to  Ernesto,  to  their  talks  and  walks,  to  his 
way  of  doing  things,  to  the  worlds  he  had  opened  up  for  her 
mental  and  imaginative  exjiloration.    And  still,  gone  .   .   . 

If  she  could  only  see  him.  beg  him  to  flee  the  place,  leave  it 
all  as  it  had  been  .   .   . 

There  was  no  other  motive  in  her  seeking  him  out  in  his 
rooms  and  making  her  plea.  "For  all  of  us,"  she  said.  His 
somber  eyes  had  somehow  warned  her  against  the  more  ])er- 
sonal  "for  me."  There  were  plans  to  make  .  .  .  and  they  had 
had,  always,  so  much  to  say  to  one  another.  There  had  prob- 
ably, they  had  often  remarked,  never  been  two  persons  with 
so  great  a  mental  fund,  the  one  for  the  other.  When  they 
were  together,  time  fled  by  them,  noiselessly,  unheeded.  It 
was  so  on  this  day.  They  had  been  sitting  in  separate  corners 
of  the  room.  Ernesto  was  telling  of  what  his  new  life  would 
probably  be  in  South  America,  the   readjustments  he  would 


have  to  make,  the  way  in  which  he  would  make  them.  He 
spoke  of  the  severance  of  ties,  the  tug  at  the  heart  because  of 
the  association  of  places  and  people.  There  had  been  nothing 
said  of  the  Thee  and  Me.  Into  this  scene  Don  Julian  was  car- 
ried, all  but  mortally  wounded.     Don  Alvarez  was  dead. 

There  was  a  horrible  scene  enacted  in  the  dim  room,  the  first 
shades  of  night  dropping  down  on  the  colorful  city  without, 
the  hush  of  night  stealing  on,  the  three  white-faced,  hurt  people 
in  the  laden  room. 

Julian  had  seen  with  his  own  eyes.  He  needed,  he  said,  no 
further  jiroof  than  this.  Feodora,  in  Ernesto's  rooms.  Lovers 
.  .  .  while  he.  her  husband,  had  been  defending  the  honor  of 
the  twain  of  them  with  his  own  life.  It  was  a  grim  jest,  he 
said.  It  came  of  a  man  with  the  flush  of  youth  gone  playing 
the  fool  of  love.  The  velvet  fingers  of  the  heart  were  power- 
ful to  strangulation.  He  had  waited  all  this  time  to  gather 
the  vivid  flower  that  was  piercing  him  to  death  with  hidden 
thorns.  The  bitterness  of  his  pain  and  hurt  poured  otit  upon 
them  in  a  venomous  flood  that  could  not  be  abated.  Feodora 
knelt  by  him  and  wept  over  him  and  bathed  his  wounds  with 
her  tenderest  ministrations.  Ernesto  forgot  the  ])ride  of  his 
manhood  and  outrage  and  pleaded  with  him.    The  World  and 

his  Wife  had  talked  over- 
well.  The  seed  of  sus- 
picion had  grown  until 
its  fungous  growth  had 
conquered  the  man. 

In  the  morning  Er- 
nesto came,  for  the  last 
time,  to  the  Casa.  Don 
Julian  was  unable  to  see 
him  and  he  asked  for 
Feodora. 

"There  is  only  one 
thing  for  me  to  do,  Feo- 
dora," he  told  her.  "and 
that  is  to  end  the  miser- 
able life  that  has  been 
the  cause  of  the  tur-

IT  was  Monday— indigo   Monday.       ^>I,_J7 
I  had  run  out  of  gas  on  the  way 
to    the    Rohn    studio   at    Culver 
City    been  browbeaten  by  a  motor  cop 
when  I  tried  to  make  up  for  lost  time 
and  had  been  severely  criticized  by  the 
studio  watchman  for  parking  my  car  in 
front  of  the  gate.    Therefore  I  wasn  t  in 
a  fitting  mood  to  interview  Beatrice  La 
Plante;    I    felt   like    asking   the    routine 
questions  regarding  age.  disposition    fa- 
vorite picture  and  leading  man,  and  let 
it  go  at  that,  grouching  my  way  home- 
ward at  twenty  miles  an  hour  to  avoid 
further  difficulties  with  the  speed  cop. 

But  scarcely  had  I  entered  the  con- 
fines of  the  studio  when,  from  a  long  gal- 
lery above,  came  a  throaty  voice  that 
spoke  in  clipped,  childlike  sentences  and 
down  the  staircase  flashed  a  small  figure 
bundled  from  head  to  foot  in  a  crimson 
bathrobe  Two  amazingly  large  brown 
eves  a  piquant  nose  and  apple-red  lips 
were  framed  by  a  fluff  of  bobbed  hair, 
and  before'  I  could  speak,  two  tiny  hands 
had  one  of  mine,  and  Beatrice  was  telling 
me  all  in  a  breath— her  English  fasci- 
natingly sprinkled  with  French  cadences 
and  idioms— that  she  was  so  glad  I  had 
come— would  1  come  up  to  the  dressing-

— n'est-ce  pasf" 

I  said  we  would,  and  while  I  was 
thinking  what  I  wanted  to  ask  first, 
she  forestalled  me,  talking  with  her 
lips,  her  eyebrows,  her  shoulders,  and 
occasionally  gesticulating  with  a  stick 
of  "fleshing"  with  which  she  was 
plastering  her  cheeks. 

"You  want  to  know  am  I  French," 
she  said  positively.  "Everyone  a.sk 
that.  But  yes,  I  am  born  in  Paris,  in 
1900,  at  eight  o'clock  in  the  morning — 
I  do  not  remember  about  it,  but  they 
tell  me  I  was  there !"  The  audacious 
brown  eyes  dared  me  to  dispute  it. 

".\nd  in  France  I  was  not  an  ac- 
tress. I  was  in  school — and  very  strict 
school,  too.  I  was  not  naughty 
Parisienne — until  I  came  to  America. 
People  here  like  to  think  French  girl 
as  'oo-la-la'  kind — is  it  not?' 

I  admitted  it  mostly  was,  but  Bea- 
trice had  plunged  into  her  story  once 
more,  pausing  now   and  then   in  the 
middle  of  a  word  to  critic- 
ally examine  her  make-up 
in   the    mirror,   or    to    ex- 
change   the    grease-paint 
stick  for  an  eyebrow  pencil.

At  first  there  seemed  to  be  much  difficulty  about 
her  getting  a  suitable  story. 

"No  one  wants  to  take  too  many  chances  on  a 
new  star,"  she  said,  "but  still  we  felt  that  we  had 
to  have  a  good  story — and  good  stories  come  high. 
At  last,  one  night,  when  I  couldn't  sleep  from 
worrying  about  it,  a  story  came  to  me  in  complete 
continuity.  Not  just  a  scene,  or  a  suggestion  for 
a  climax,  which  is  the  way  stories  have  come  to 
me  before,  but  a  perfect  story;  L could  almost  see 
the  action,  scene  by  scene,  from  beginning  to  end." 

It  was  a  godsend,  she  added,  a  sort  of  miracle. 
(Of  course,  that  was  inspiration.)  Those  who 
have  read  the  story  say  that  there  are  two  femi- 
nine parts  in  it  of  almost  equal  strength  and  that 
the  story  is  unusual  as  well  as  dramatic.  (Who 
was  it  said  that  when  an  actor  can  write  at  all,  he 
can  write  well?) 

No,  you  would  not  call  Kathleen  Kirkham 
flighty,  but  you  would  not  call  her  phlegmatic, 
either.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  .she  is  a  very  femi-

easily  discouraged,  for  the  moment,  at  any  breath

stories  running  into  four  and  five 
thousand  words,  as  nearly  all  of 
them  seem  to.  that  would  be  diffi- 
cult, to  say  the  least !''  she  finished, 
with  a  laugh. 

But  I  was  telling  you  about  her 
anchor. 

The  VV.  H.  Woodruffs,  as  Kath- 
leen Kirkham  and  her  husband  are 
spoken  of  in  the  society  columns  of 
the  Los  .\ngeles  papers,  live  in  a 
pretty,   artistic   eleven-room   house 
on   the  outskirts   of   Los   Angeles. 
Kathleen 
Kirkham    is 
very  proud  of 
her    home, 
and  well    she 
may  be.    The 
only  trouble 
is   that    they 
are  situated 
directly    be- 
tween    two 
aviation 
fields. 

"I  do  hope," 


Kathleen  has  an 
anchor  in  the 
form  of  a  six-foot- 
two  husband.  He 
is  every  inch  a 
business  man,  and 
serves  to  keep 
Kathleen's  fancy- 
loving  soul  o"n 
earth  instead  of 
in  the  dwelling- 
place  of  pink- 
tipped  clouds  to 
which  it  would 
otherwise  fly

said  Kathleen  Kirkham,  "that  some  one  will  in- 
vent a  muffler  for  aeroplanes  soon !  But  that  isn't 
the  worst !  You  can  never  be  sure  that  some 
reckless  driver  isn't  going  to  come  into  your 
house  by  way  of  the  roof." 

With  them  are  Kathleen's  mother  and  father, 
the  latter  a  successful  artist  and  photographer,  and  the  two 
children  of  a  sister  who  is  dead.  A  little  boy  eight  years 
old  and  a  little  girl  six  whom  their  actress-aunt  is  taking 
care  of  as  if  they  were  her  own.  Mr.  Woodruff  is  in  the 
marine  insurance  business — a  professional  pessimist,  as  it 
were. 

"It  is  his  business  to  find  faults  in  what  appears  to  be  a 
perfect  chain."  his  wife  said,  "and  so,  when  I  get  overly 
enthusiastic  and  .start  ballooning  towards  the  sky,  he  calmly 
pulls  me  back  to  earth  again."  She  is,  by  the  way,  only 
twenty-four  years  old. 

Another  member  of   her   family   of   whom   she   is   very 

proud  is  Mitchell  Leisin.  now  designing  sets  and  costumes 

at  Lasky's.     He  is  a  cousin  of  hers,  still  in  his  very  early 

twenties,  and  he  came  West  at  her  suggestion  with  the  idea

HER  Grace  the  Grand 
Duchess  Maria 
Louise  sat  at 
luncheon,  a  very  small 
island  totally  surround- 
ed by  very  large  flunkies 
whose  chests  seemed 
made  for  the  purpose 
of  wearing  gold  braid. 
The  picture  of  the 
Grand  Duchess  taken 
for  Sunday  supple- 
ments and  souvenir 
post-cards  showed  her 
as  a  stately  young  per- 
son in  eight  yards  of 
satin  train  and  wearing 
a  crown  haughtily ;  but 
with  the  train  laid  away 
in  camphor,  and  the 
crown  at  the  imperial 
jeweler's  for  repairs, 
(she  had  flung  it  to  the 
f^oor  in  a  temper),  the 
most  noticeable  thing 
about  HcrGraceat 
present  was  her  scowl.  |i 

In  one  less  exalted 
by  birth,  such  a  scowl 
would    not    have    been 

remarkable,  but  Maria  §^- 

Louise  had  nothing  to  S 

scowl    about,    as    Jen-  *: 

nings,  the  English  gov- 
erness,  often   pointed 

out  in  her  maddeningly  ^^tafcai 

reasonable  way.    "Her  wSw^ 

Sublime  Grace,"  Jen- 
nings would  drone,  "is 
most  fortunate  indeed. 

Has  she  not  lands,  jewels,  a  summer  and  a  winter  palace  and, 
above  all — blood?"  (It  was  positively  gruesome  how  Jen- 
nings gloated  over  this  item!)  "And  she  has  but  to  issue  an 
order  and  it  is  fulfilled,  if,  of  course,  it  is  suited  to  Her  Sublime 
Grace's  royal  position,"  the  latter  hurriedly  added  in  view  of 
the  fact  that  Maria  Louise's  latest  wish  to  have  a  hurdy-gurdy 
and  its  performer  added  to  the  court  retinue,  had  most  em- 
phatically not  been  fulfilled. 

To  which  her  sublime  charge  had  retorted  most  unroyally 
and  concisely,  "Piffle !"  Despite  all  urging,  she  persisted  in 
using  English  rather  than  her  own  tongue,  because  of  its 
greater  opportunity  for  picturesque  expressions  of  this  kind. 

Now,  the  Grand  Duchess,  as  we  have  said,  sat  at  luncheon, 
and  scowled  over  the  dainty  food  served  upon  china  of 
ethereal  translucence,  and  drew  small  devils  upon  the  priceless 
napery  w(th  the  point  of  her  restless  fork.  She  looked  gloomily

The  picture  of  the  Grand

a  stately  young  person  in 
eight  yards  of  satin  train 
and  wearing  a  crown 
haughtily 


at  the  wooden  retainers,  whose 
greatest  pride  was  not  to  show 
the  faintest  symptom  of  being

smothered  in  velvet  and  carved 
oak ;  she  looked  down  at  her 
plate,  with  the  royal  arms  of 
Transmania  stamped  on  it  in  gold,  and 

"Oh,  damn !"  sighed  the  Duchess,  drearily. 

The  shocked  retainers  pretended  not  to  have  heard  this  ter- 
rible lap.se  of  royal  decorum,  but  Jennings,  at  the  farther  end 
of  the  table,  humbly  below  the  salt,  was  so  grieved  that  the 
tip  of  her  bleak,  spin.sterly  nose  became  empurpled.  "Oh,  Your 
Grace !"  she  moaned.  "Such  an  expression !  In  all  my  con-

MOTION   PICTURE 


The  Grand  Duchess  sat  at  not  recall  liearine  such  a  phrase,

symptom  of  bemg  human  ..^01   strong   enough."    Maria 

Louise  rebelled.  "I'm  not  irritated. 
Jennings;  I'm  something  much 
worse — I'm  bored.  Just  think,  out  there."  she  flung  out  a  reck- 
less arm  toward  the  window,  "beyond  that  ten-foot  wall,  life 
is  going  on.  and  I'm  not  there  to  see  it!  Just  because  I  hap- 
pened to  be  born  on  the  wrong  side  of  that  fence.  I  have  to 
live  with  a  lot  of  rusty  armor  and  moth-eaten  tapestries  and 
never,  never  have  any  fun!" 

"Fun — oh,  V'our  Grace !"  the  governess  spoke  the  plebeian 
word  with  loathing,  folding  her  outraged  lips  tightly  about  her 
bluish-china  teeth.  "A  Duchess  must  not  desire  fun;  she  must 
be  above  such  common  things;  she  must  remember  that  her 
great-great-great-great-grandfather  was  a  King!" 

Maria  Louise  arose  with  what,  in  a  less  blue-blooded  young 
woman,  would  have  been  called  a  pout,  and  passed  out  of  the 
dining  salon  between  rows  of  motionless  footmen.  She  found  a 
moment's  amusement  in  wondering  what  would  happen  if  she 
should  suddenly  shout  "Boo!"  at  them;  then  grey  lassitude  de- 


scended u])on  her.  Listlessly  she 
allowed  her  ladies-in-waiting  to 
assist  her  into  her  riding  habit, 
which,  in  spite  of  impeccable  cut 
and  tailoring,  gave  her  slim  little 
figure  the  apjiearance  of  a  rather 
rowdyish  boy ;  she  allowed  the 
I'irst  Groom  of  the  Royal  Stables 
to  help  her  mount  her  staid 
horse,  which  was  quite  aware  of 
his  place  as  bearer  of  a  Sublime 
Cirace  and  moved  with  the  cir- 
cumspect self-consciousness  of  a 
steed  on  a  stained  glass  window. 
The  retinue  left  the  palace 
gates,  turned  down  the  Mall  and 
entered  the  Royal  Park.  The  re- 
hellion  smouldering  under  the 
black  curls  of  the  small  Grand 
Duchess  flared  higher  into  seeth- 
ing flame.  Always,  every  pleas- 
ant day  since  she  was  able  to  sit 
upon  a  horse,  she  had  ridden  at 
jirecisely  the  same  hour  along 
precisely  the  same  dull,  uninter- 
esting avenue,  to  be  stared  at  by 
owl-eyed  tourists,  clutching  Bae- 
dekers and  huzzaed  by  the  pop- 
ulace with  stereotyped  cheers, 
like  the  chorus  in  a  musical  com- 
edy. On  either  side  small, 
wooded  paths  beckoned  her 
imagination  into  the  realms  of 
romance  and  adventure,  but. 
being  a  poor,  unfortunate  Grand 
Duchess,   .she   must   ride   past 

them 

The  thread  of  Maria  Louise's 
ruminations  broke  off  with  a  snap. 
Lender  the  hanging  branches  of 
one  of  these  by-paths  she  saw 
.something  that  held  her  fasci- 
nated gaze — a  sVnall.  knock- 
kneed  donkey,  ridden  by  a  lout- 
ish youth  whose  long  legs 
dragged  upon  the  ground  on 
either  side.  She  cast  a  quick 
glance  around,  tugging  on  the 
reins — no,  Grafin  Schmidt  was 
engrossed  in  looking  haughty, 
and  Griifin  Oppe  was  occupied  in 
looking  indifferent,  and  the  others  were  too  far  ahead  to  notice 
her  defection.  With  a  jerk  Maria  Louise  swerved  her  disap- 
proving mount  aside  into  the  by-path,  running  completely  over 
the  remonstrant  .shade  of  her  great-great-great-grandfather, 
the  King. 

"Quick!"  she  jjanted.  sliding  to  the  ground  and  laying  vio- 
lent hands  upon  the  bewildered  owner  of  the  donkey.  "I  want 
that  donkey!  I  never  rode  on  one  before,  and  I'll  never  have 
a  chance  to  again.  Hold  my  horse,  and  if  any  one  asks  where 
I  am,  tell  them  I've  run  away." 

Sheer  amazement  at  her  impudence  led  the  donkey  to  carry 
the  Grand  Duchess  .some  distance  before  he  knew  exactly  what 
was  going  on.  then  he  stopped.  Stopped  with  such  sudden- 
ness that  the  Duchess  shot  neatly  over  his  head,  reached  wildly 
for  his  ears  and  missed  them,  and  landed  in  a  very  unroyal 
position  indeed,  facing  him.  uix)n  the  ground.  They  regarded 
each  other  appraisingly.  Maria  Louise's  chin  grew  grim.  She 
arose  laboriously.  In  the  long  line  of  her  progenitors  was  one 
Knight  Geoffrey  of  the  Iron  Will,  who,  it  was  legended,  fought 
with  a  dragon  and  overcame.  Knight  Geoffrey  looked  out  of 
her  dark,  defiant  young  eyes  now,  as  stealthily  she  approached 
the  donkey.  "I'm  going  to  ride  you,"  she  declared;  "you  cant 
do  that  to  me  again." 

It  was  five  minutes  before  this  long-eared  dragon  knew  that 

(Forty) 


■CLASSIC  _ 

It  was  oveicoiiie.  In  that  tii^ie  the  Grand  Duchess  had  assumed 
many  odd  positions,  sometimes  sitting  facing  his  head,  some- 
times his  tail,  but  she  had  hung  on.  Her  hair  was  loosened 
from  its  royal  braids,  and  hung  aliout  her  crimson  cheeks  in 
little-girl  tousles,  her  habit  was  torn  and  mud-splotched  and 
her  knees,  when  she  descended  from  a  thoroly  licked  little 
donkey,  gave  une.xpectedly  and  wobbled  her  into  a  fallen  tree- 
trunk,  where  .she  sat  panting,  laughing,  gloriously  alive,  but  she 
was  happy. 

"I  wont  go  back — ever !"  she  cried,  "or  not  for  years  and 
years,  till  I'm  old  and  too  tired  to  play.    I'll " 

A  howl  of  pain  from  around  the  bend  of  the  path  brought 
her  back  to  reality ;  they  had  found  her  horse ;  they  were  beat- 
ing the  poor,  clownish  lout  becau.se  he  couldn't  or  wouldn't  tell 
them  where  she  had  disappeared.  Maria  Louise  ro.se,  the  smile 
slipping  sidewise  on  lips  that  quivered,  but  she  did  not  hesitate. 
"Noblesse  oblige — drat  noblesse !"  she  murmured,  as  she  moved 
reluctantly  back  toward  the  old  life  she  had  escaped  from  for  a 
few  stolen  moments.  It  was  a  muddy,  bedraggled"  little  figure 
who  faced  her  retinue  furiously,  tossing  her  wild,  dark  hair 
from  her  flaming  eyes,  every  one  of  her  few  inches  a  Grand 
Duchess. 

"Stop!  This  instant,  cowards!  Or  I'll  have  you  flogged — 
flogged " 

They  quailed  before  her  red  wrath,  like  serfs  li.stening  to 
their  Iiege  lord,  and  none  of  them — Maria  Louise  least  of  all — 
realized  the  absurdity  of  her  words.  Then,  head  held  high 
despite  the  derby  askew  upon  it,  the  small  Duchess  swung 
upon  her  horse  and  led  her  stricken  retinue  into  the  bridle  path 
beside  the  Mall.  Gratin  Schmidt  no  longer  arranged  her 
doughy  features  into  an  expression  of  hauteur ;  the  Grafin  Oppe 
looked  distinctly  worried.  Presently,  as  they  pas.sed  a  squad  of 
American  doughboys  swinging  hilariously  along  to  the  refrain, 
"Say,  darkies,  have  you  seen  de  massa  wif  de  mufstache  on  his 
face?"  Grafin  Schmidt  leaned  toward  her  companion. 

"Did  you  see  him  stare  at  Her  Grace — the  one  in  front  ?"'  she 
trembled.  "Did  you  see  him  look  at  Her  Sublime  Highness 
I)recisely  as  tho 


the  eyes  of  royalty  is  an  insult.  But  what  is  the  world  coming 
to  when  such  things  may  be  ?" 

After  the  affair  of  the  donkey,  Maria  Louise  found  herself 
more  closely  hedged  in  by  ceremonies  than  before.  Her  Prime 
Minister,  a  stout  man  with  a  mighty  mustache,  at  which  he 
continually  tugged,  hinted  that  it  was  time  to  be  considering  the 
question  of  a  husband  for  her,  and  brought  her  a  portfolio  of 
portraits  of  marriageable  Dukes  and  Princes,  varying  from  the 
stripling  heir  to  the  tiny  kingdom  of  Monarcho,  a  chinless 
youth  of  seventeen  with  weak  eyes  and  five  wilted  blond  hairs 
upon  his  lip,  to  the  thrice  widowed  old  Duke  of  Prascovia,  bald 
as  a  roc's  egg  and  a  great-grandfather. 

"Any  of  these,"  he  tugged,  "would  be  a  suitable  consort  for 
Her  Gracious  Grace.  Her  Sublimity  is  nearly  eighteen ;  it  is 
time"  for  her  to  consider  her — h'm — her  duty  to  the  state " 

But  Maria  Louise  flung  the  portfolio  furiously  to  the  floor 
and  stamped  one  small  foot.  "I  will  not  grow  up,  do  you  hear," 
she  stormed,  "not  until  I  have  at  least  had  a  chance  to  be 
young!  And  as  for  a  husband,  when  I  marry" — and  she  col- 
ored gloriously — "it  will  be  for  love,  and  love  only." 

"Where  did  Her  (irace  get  such  plebeian  notions?'"  de- 
spaired faithful  Jennings.    "Love!    What  has  that  to  do  with 


marriage   for  a  Duchess .'     l   am 
such  heresy  from  nie!" 

Sitting  sullenly  in  her  splendid 
chamber,  the  little  Duchess  felt 
as  tho  life  were  closing  in  on  her 
relentlessly.  Today  she  might 
defy  them,  tomorrow — but  in  the 
end  they  would  have  their  way, 
for  they  had  the  past  with  them, 
and  tradition,  and  what  small 
white  girl  soul  is  brave  enough  to 
oppose  these?  Her  heart  beat 
madly ;  her  breast  ro.se  on  the 
swell  of  a  cry,  "I  must  have  some- 
thing to  remember — afterwards.

o'  Me  Thumb,"  written  by  I'rederick  I'enn  and  Richard  Bryce,  it 
is  a  tragic  story  of  a  London  laundry  slavey — a  pathetic  little 
drudge  who  weaves  a  weird  romance  around  a  shirt  left  by  a  myste- 
rious stranger.  The  tale  lifts  her  to  imaginary  hapjiiness — until 
the  idealized  stranger  calls  for  his  shirt.  With  her  dream  gone,  the 
end  of  "Suds"  finds  the  shabby  little  slavey  sol)bing  out  her  heart  on 
the  laundry  steps  as  the  other  workers  hurry  away  upon  a  holiday. 

This  is  one 
of  two  end- 
i  n  g  s.  The 
other —the 
happy  de- 
nouement— 
shows  the 
slavey  finding 
happiness  in 
the  love  of  a 
faithful  laun- 
dry driver. 
We  did  not 
.see  this  end- 
ing. 


Ki.\<;  N'iDOR  has  proved 
hiniself  again.  Mr. 
\'idor  it  was  who 
startled  the  celluloid 
world  somewhat  over  a 
year  ago  with  his  "Th 
Turn  in  the  Road,"  which, 
despite  certain  weak- 
nesses, revealed  its  jiro- 
ducer  as  ])Ossessing  a 
.singularly    human    touch. 

Being  sure  of  his  ability,  we  ha\i'  waited  for  Mr.  Vidor  to 
do  something  bigger. 

The  bigger  thing  has  occurreil — Fllis  I'arker  liutler's 
"The  Jack-Knife  Man,"  (  h'irst  National).  Here  is  a 
gently  drawn  little  genre  study,  finely  conceixed  and  done 
with  admirable  workmanship  and  an  excellently  restrained 
syni])athy. 

Briefly,  "The  Jack-Knife  Man"  is  simply  the  talc  of  t\Mi 
old  men's  love  for  a  baby.  One  is  a  i|uaint  old  fellow 
li\ing  a  solitary  existence  on  an  old  river  boat.  The  other 
is  a  derelict  hobo.  The  baby  is  the  daughter  of  a  cast-off 
town  girl  removed  by  death  from  the  sordid  depths. 

Oddh'.  there  is  a  comiielling  grip  to  the  fragile  fabric  of 
this  story — to  the  little  jealousies  and  hopes  and  dreams  of 
the  old  men  for  the  child  as  they  drift  aimlessly  in  their 
battered  rixer-going  haven.  In  the  end.  busybodies  take 
the  child  away  from  them,  but — — 

We  will  not  relate  the  story,  because  we  want  you  to  see 
it  with  a  fresh  view-point.  "The  Jack-Knife  Man"  is 
worthy  of  your  attention,  for  it  belongs  to  the  photoplay 
school  of  tomorrow.  Xo  pasteboard  melodramatic  ch;irac- 
lers.  no  machine-made  jilot  development,  no  trite  metliod> 
111  screen  telling  are  here.  l"or  .Mr.  N'idor — we  are  sure  of 
tJiis  now — i>  just  finding  himself  and  before  long  he  is 
going  to  turn  out  a  big  and  human  celluloid  document. 
Indeed.  "The  Jack-Knife  .Man"  in  itself  is  a  splendid  thing.

The  Newest  Photoplays  in  Review 

By   FREDERICK  JAMES   SMITH 


At  first  glance,  "Suds"  might  seem  to  be  a  grey  and  shadowy 
tragedy,  but  in  reality  it  is  told  with  broad  slapstick  humor. 
There  is,  for  instance,  an  episode  where  the  slavey  takes  an  old 
cart-horse  out  of  the  rain  up  to  her  second-story  tenement  room. 
Aside  from  this,  there  are  all  sorts  of  comic  incidents  in  the 
laundry  basement. 

Personally,  we  do  not  believe  "Suds"  will  make  the  broad 
appeal  of  the  more  popular  Mary  Pickford  vehicles.  It  runs  too 
strongly  in  the  single  key  of  drab  farce.  Not  that  Miss  Pickford 
does  not  give  a  very  carefully  drawn  portrayal  of  the  slavey.  No 
other  feminine  .star  would  hide  herself  beneath  the  fearful  make- 
up of  Amanda.  And  only  once  does  she  discard  the  dirt  and 
grime  of  the  laundry  drudge,  in  the  brief  flashes  of  the  slavey's 
imaginary  romance  built  around  the  shirt.  Nowhere,  however, 
does  she  achieve  the  poignancy  of  her  Pollyanna.  We  liked 
Harold  Goodwin's  playing  of  the  slender  role  of  the  laundry 
driver. 

Douglas  Fairbanks  topped  any  of  his  recent  productions  with 
the  whirlwind,  "The  Mollycoddle."  (United  Artists).     Here  may 
be  found  thrills,  adventure  and  a  swiftly  moving  back- 
ground.    Richard  Marshall  starts  off  as  a  spineless  in- 
dividual— until 
he    meets    The 
Girl   at    Monte 
Carlo.      By    the 
time  he  has  pur- 
sued  her   across 
the  ocean  as  a 
stowaway    and 
fought    his    way 
across  the  desert 
of    the    South- 
west,   he    is    as

The 


strenuous     a     hero    as 
maid  could  desire, 
whole  thing  ends   in   a   ter- 
rific fight  in  a  Hopi  cliff  vil- 
lage.    The  hero  leaps  from  a 
high  ledge  ui)on  the  villain  in 
a  tree,  and  the  struggle  coii- 
,tinues  as  they  dro]).  tier  by 
tier,  thru  the  adobe  cliff  huts 
until,  on  the  crest  of  a  land- 
slide, they  plunge  into  river 
rapids  at  the  bottom.     It  is 
as   startling  a   fight   as  you 
will  ever  see  on  the  screen,    .\ndif  there  is  a  funnier  scene 
tlian  Doug's  adventures  in  the  villain's  fish-house,  we  would 
like  to  observe  it.     ' 

In  a  sentence,  "The  Mollycoddle"  is  a  winner.  Doug  has 
turned  out  but  two  or  three  better  comedy  melodramas  in 
his  whole  celluloid  career. 

.\fter  observing  Dorothy  Cish's  "Remodeling  Her  Hus- 
b.-md,"  (Paramount),  we  are  confident  that  Lillian  Gish 
could  easily  develop  into  a  director  of  fine  originality.. 
This  is  the  little  comedy  drama  in  which  Miss  Lillian  di- 
rected her  si.ster  last  winter. 

It  is  the  old,  old  o]5us  of  the  bride  who  sets  out  to  cure 
her  hubby  of  his  flirtatious  tendencies.  Of  course,  as  soon 
as  he  feels  that  he  is  losing  his  wife,  he  re])ents — and  things 
end  in  a  reconciliation.  There  are  dozens  of  touches  in 
which  one  can  recogfiize  the  delicate  and  gently  lyric  hand 
of  Lillian  Gish.  such  as  the  delicious  moment  where  Doro- 
thy, as  the  angry  Jane  Wakefield,  hurries  thru  the  jiark  and 
demonstrates  how  she  can  attract  masculine  attention. 
Dorothy  Gish  lends  her  inimitable  humor  to  the  proceed- 
ings, but  Lillian  is  the  real  star,  even  if  she  does  not  once 
appear  on  the  silversheet. 

Charles  Ray  gives  another  superbly  human  performance 

in    "Homer    Comes    Home,"     (Paramount),    another    tale 

which    would    be    conventional    plus    in    any   other    hands. 

Once  again  he  plays  a  country  lad  who  goes  to  the  city  to

The  Honor  Roll  Winners  For 
August 


be  made  in  all  three  of  our  publications  as  to  the  outcome. 

To  the  winners  there  will  be  given  every  opportunity  to 
gain  screen  fame  and  fortune.  They  will  immediately  step 
into  international  fame  by  reason  of  the  publicity  given 
them  in  all  of  our  publications.  This  will  include  inter- 
views with  the  winners  and  pictures  which  will  not  only 
ajipear  in  our  publications,  but  will  also  appear  in  all  the 
leading  news|)apers.  and  periodicals  thruout  the  country. 
The  winners  will  lie  launched  on  their  careers  under  the 
most  auspicious  occasion  jiossible. 

Not  only  the  winners  of  the  contest,  but  the  final  honor 
roll  members  will  be  given  an  immediate  ojiportunitv  to 
show  how  much  screen  talent  they  possess,  for  there  is 
being  produced  in  connection  with  the  Fame  and  Fortune 
Contest  a  five-reel  feature  drama  entitled  "Love's  Redemp- 
tion." The  story  is  one  of  the  triumph  of  love  over  vice, 
and  there  seems  no  doubt  of  its  being  a  dramatic  success, 
for  no  expense  is  being  spared  in  the  production  of  this 
play.  The  cast  will  be  one  of  un- 
usual merit,  including  the  following 
well-known  [)eople: 

I'"dwin  -Markham,  the  world- 
famous  poet;  Hudson  Maxiin,  the 
famous  inventor ;  Dr.  Carroll  Leja 
.Xichols. 

( )ctavia  Handworth,  the  jiopular 
him  ]ilayer,  who  has  recently  been 
absent  from  the  .screen,  has  been 
engaged  to  I'kiy  one  of  the  leading 
roles,  and  we  are  (|uite  sure  that 
her  return  to  the  silversheet  will  be 
an  event  of  great  interest  to  all 
film  lovers.

system  via  tlie  Underwood,  it  will  let  me 
be,  and  I  can  then  get  on  to  the  Rard  of 
.\von  as  eNpoinided  by  Mr.  Love. 

I  talked  with  Mr.  Lo\e  at  his  al>artnient. 
In  the  room  with  us  besides  books,  two 
libotographs  of  small  boys  and  a  fireplace, 
was  a  dinner-table  set  for  six,  rose-shaded 
candelabra  and  all.  .\  dinner  party  was  im- 
])ending.  Hovering  over  Mr.  Love,  lighting 
his  cigarets,  supplying  his  sundry  needs. 
even  to  occasional  gap.s  in  our  conversa- 
tion, was  Victor.  \'ictor  is  the  last  word 
of  the  opening  paragraph.     (See  above.) 

Some    years    ago.    it    seems,    Mr.    Love 
rescued   him    from    a    street    accident    and 
look   him    to   his   home.     The_  accident    left    X'ictor 
crip|)led  and  devoted.     His  devotion   was  charming 
and  very  real.     Wherever  Mr.  Love  moved,  there  the 
eyes  of  Victor  followed,  wistful  and  adoring.   When- 
ever Mr.   Love  said  a   humorous  thing,  a   reflection 
of   the  huiTior  touched 
V'  i  c  t  o  r '  s     sensitive 
mouth.      Re  fore    Mr. 
L<ive  could  utter  a  be- 
hest, the  nimble  lingers 
and  swift    foresight  of 
Victor  had  sui)plied  it. 
There  is  poetry  in  such 
an  adoration.     There  is 
psychology.      There    is 
so  ntiich  of  psychology 
that  your  iier.sonality 


The  Shakespeare 
Specialist 


interviewer  would  need  go  no  further  than  Victor  to  take  the 
measure  of  the  man.  Such  being  the  case,  let  us  consider  the 
measure  of  Montagu  Love  taken  and  pass  on  to  the  next. 

The  "next"  is  the  P.ard  of  .\von.  again  (or  yet)  in  the  lime- 
light. If  bis  stones — I  inean  bones — be  disturbed  by  such  a|i- 
jiarent  flipjiancy,  let  him  observe  that  in  this  day  and  age  frail, 
flaunting  jjoppics  grow  on  sacred  graves. 

Mr.  Love  reads,  breathes,  inhales  and  exhales  William  Shake- 
speare. He  is  an  enthusiast  on  him  for  the  stage.  He  is  also 
an  enthusiast  on  him  for — something  new  is  about  to  burs' 
u])on  you — for  the  screen. 

He  ought  to  know.     He  has  studied  Shakespeare  as,  probably. 

no  other  actor  ever  has  or  will.     He  has  studied  him  in  sections 

and  in  toto.    .\nd  what  is  more,  be  has  played  him,  all  of  him. 

I  asked  him  what  made  him  believe  that  Shakespeare  would 

"go"  on  the  screen. 

He  bad  a  diversity  of  reasons  for  his  belief,  .\mong  them  : 
"I  know  be  would  be  wonderful  for  the  screen,"  he  said;  "in 
the  first  place,  he  was  himself,  first  of  all,  before  he  was  any- 
thing else,  an  actor.  He  wrote 
play.s  with  a  capital  'P.'  and  hi,s 
plays  were  piet\irc.i,  surcharged 
with  color,  with  rhythm,  with  ac- 
tion and  emotion.  These  are  all 
I)icture  (|ualities.  The  screen  rc- 
iiuires  the  sitiry  first  of  all.  It  re- 
(|uires  characterizations.  It  re- 
(juires  situations.  Shakespeare 
knew  all  there  is  to  know  about  all 
three.  He  knew  all  there,  is  to 
know  about  the  presentation  of  all 
three.  Think  for  a  moment  of  'The 
Mei'chant  of  Venice'  or  'Othello.' 
I'.very  line  is  a  word  i)icture.  F.vcry 
paragrajib  is  a  situation.  livery 
character  is  a  character.  There  isn't 
a  person  in  the  cast  who  wouldn't 
have  a  definite  opportunity.  There 
is  some  controversy  on  the  subject 
because  of  the  fact  that  the  Shake- 
spearian jilays  are  costume  plays. 
That  is,  of  course,  footless.  Con-

tumes  arc  pictures,  and  pictures  arc  wliat  we 
want.  We  must  not  underestimate  the  pictorial 
quality,  even  when  it  comes  to  the  individual. 
After  all.  the  appeal  is,  on  the  surface,  optical. 

"Shakespeare  on  the  screen  is  what  I  want  to 
do.  Also  on  the  stage.  I  have  always  wanted 
to  do  this.  Consciously,  all  my  other  work  has 
been  in  preparation  for  the  greatest  of  them  all. 
I  believe,  what  is  more,  as  a  sop  to  commercial- 
ism, that  Shakespeare  on  the  screen  would  be 
successful.  I  am  not  egotistical,  but  I  have 
studied  my  job  and  I've  never  been  wrong  in  my 
judgment  of  a  play  for  the  screen.  I'm  willing 
to  back  my  judgment  now.  Shakespeare  is  a 
pretty  sound  bet,  you  know." 

I  reminded  Mr.  Love  that  he  had  been  called 
the  Mansfield  of  the  screen,  and  I  asked  him 
whether  he  had  any  objections,  for  the  reason 
that  Mansfield  was  essentially  a  character  actor. 

Said  Mr.  Love,  "What  difference  does  it  make 
what  one  plays  when  one  is  an  actor,  first  of  all, 
and  'all  the  world's  a  stage'  ?  I  love  every  form 
of  acting,  whetlier  it  be  stage,  screen  or  panto- 
mime.    I  get  something,  and  I  hope  I  give  some- 


thing to  every  role  I  play,  juvenile  or  character 
actor.  I've  played  Ras])utin  and  I've  played  the 
roughneck,  and  the'only  rote  I  go  by  is  the  rote  of 
progress,  the  arrival  at  some  sort  of  goal.  My  goal 
has  been  Shakespeare.  In  a  sort  of  way  I  may  be 
said  to  have  reached  that  goal,  having  played  Shake- 
speare as  I  have,  liut  I  might  put  it  in  the  sense  that 
I  should  like  to  be  a  specialist  in  Shakes]ieare,  giv- 
ing him  to  the  screen  as  I  believe  it  could  be, 
should  be  done." 

"Assuming."    I   said,   "that   your  plans  go   thru, 
what  role  will  you  give  to  the  screen  first?" 
Mr.  Love  towered  above  me.  massive. 
"Titania,    I    think,"    he    said,    with    an    immense 
gravity.     "What  do  you   say,  Victor''"  he  added. 
It  is  his  characteristic  addition  to  any  speecli. 

"Yes.    Mr.    Love,"    said    Victor,    giving    me    a 
small,    highly    appreciative    wink.      He    would,    I 

know,  have  said  "Yes, 
Mr.  Love."  if  the 
amicable  Love  had 
proposed  a  jolly  little 
jaunt  into  the  nether 
regions,  and  have 
given  that  same  little

The  Dauntless  Anita 


By 

LILLIAN   MONTANYE 


THi  ki:  is  a  Iradllion  to  tlie  effect  that  Southern  women  are 
the  chngiiig  vine  variet)— sweet,  lovable,  accomplished, 
ornaments  to  the  home  and  society,  but  unaggressive,  not 
given  to  asserting  themselves,  unambitious  so  far  as  fame  and 
glory  for  themselves  are  concerned,  a  bit  mystified  at  the  trend 
of  modern  women  toward  careers  and  economic  independence 
— things  that  their  mothers  and  grandmothers  would  have  con- 
siderc<l  entirely  out  of  the  sphere  of  a  gentlewoman.  But 
slowly  and  surely  Southern  women  are  breaking  the  shell  of 
tradition  or  environment  or  whatever  it  is.  They  are  going 
in  for  suffrage,  careers,  inde|iendence.  For  instance,  there  is 
.-\nita  Booth. 

She  was  born  in  \'irginia,  on  an  old  estate  that  has  been 
in  the  family  "always."  she  says.  There's  a  big  old  Colo- 
nial house  with  wide  verandas  surrounded  by  well-kept 
grounds,  conventional  flower-beds  with  old-fasliioned  posies 
and  tall  trees  with  sweeping  branches  that  hold  in  their 
massive  trunks  the  secrets  of  centuries.  There  is  a  typical 
Dixie  father.  There  was,  until  a  few  years  .:go,  an  idolized 
mother — a  real  Southern  gentlewoman.  There  was  a  family 
of  happy  girls  and  boys.    . 

.\nita,  the  youngest  of  the  family,  was  educated  in  Wash- 


Nothing  venture,  noth- 
ing have,  decided  Anita 
one  day  —  and  as  she 
wanted  to  have  dra- 
matic experience  more 
than  anything  else,  she 
set  out  to  get  it.  And 
she  did.  We  fearlessly 
predict  that  the  combi- 
nation of  Southern 
beauty  and  determina- 
tion will  carry  Anita  a 
long  way  on  the  road 
of  success

ington,   D.   C,   at   a   day   school 
that  permitted  her  to  return  each 
night  to  the  home  she  so  much 
loved.     Despite  her  environment 
female    ancestry    that    has    been 
"ladies"    for    generations — there    was 
none  of  the  clinging  vine  about  .\nita. 
She   must   have   been 
born  with  a  clear  per- 
spective,     because, 
sub-consciously,     she 
saw   things  clearly, 
herself  included,  and 
knew  what  she  want- 
ed— and    being    the 
youngest  of  the  fam- 
ily   and    of    beguilini; 
personality,  she  usual 
ly  got  it. 

During  her  school 
days  in  Washington 
she  attended  the  thea- 
ter fre(|uenlly.  always  carefully  chaperoned. 
Critically  she  watched  the  characters  live  the  sfory 
on  the  stage,  in  her  heart,  feeling  that  she  could 
do  it  quite  as  well,  and  decided  that,  more  than 
anything  else,  she  wanted  to  be  an  actress.  Hut. 
she  knew  that  she  could  not  at  once  shake  off  the 
old  traditions  and  she  bided  her  time.  Then  the 
mother  died,  the  family  scattere<l  here  and  there, 
as  families  will,  the  father  retired  from  his  busi- 
ness of  coffee  expcn'ter.  and.  leaving  the  old  home 
for  a  time,  he  .and  Anita  made  their  home  in 
Washington. 

It  happened  that  last  summer,  when  The  I'anie 
and  h'ortune  Contest  conducted  by  Tin-:  Motio.n 
'I'uTiKi  Mai;azini'.,  Tiik  Motio.n'  Pictl'rk  Clas-

sent  in  a  photogra]ih.  It  was  most  favorably 
received,  hut  too  late  for  the  honor  roll,  even  too 
kite  for  publication  in  one  of  the  magazines,  but. 
with  iwenly-four  fither  girls.  Miss  Booth  received 
an  invitation  to  come  to  New  York  for  a  test 
before  the  camera.  The  letter  followed  her  to

Told  in  story  form  trcjiii  the  Vitagraph

By 
OLIVE  CAREW 


Wi:  live  in  a  world  of  strangers.  So 
near  each  other  tliat  arm  touches 
arm,  yet  an  invisible  wall  separates 
us  from  those  who  might  be  our  friends, 
our  patrons — perhaps  our  loves.  Its  name 
is  Convention.  Some  braver  souls  dare  to 
scale  this  wall,  but  for  most  of  us  it  is  a 
barrier  impassable.  Eye  meets  eye,  quick- 
ening with  a  message  from  soul  to  soul, 
but  the  lips  are  silent,  and  we  pass — 
.strangers. 

Eve  de  Merincourt  was  thinking  of  a 
man,  and  it  was  not  of  the  man  whose  en- 
gagement to  her  was  to  be  announced  that 
night.  She  did  not  know  what  his  name 
was,  indeed,  or  anything  at  all  about  him, 
save  the  important  fact  that  he  was  tall  and 
young,  and  that  for  one  moment  of  spring- 
tide wonder  he  had  gazed  into  her  eyes 
thru  the  iron  bars  of  the  convent  gate. 
Then  Sister  Marie,  the  pretty  nun,  had 
come  quickly  and  hurried  Eve  away,  but 
she  had  not  scolded  her,  and  her  grey  eyes, 
under  the  soft  folds  of  her  veil,  had  been 
misted  with  tears. 

Six  months  ago.  and  she  remembered 
him  as  tho  she  had  seen  him  every  day 
since,  as  ])erha])s  she  had.  .\  thinnish 
young  face,  a  trifle  grim;  thick,  strongly 
growing  hair  and  a  way  of  walking  like 
young  Sir  Galahad,  he  was  the  illustration 
of  her  secret  girl-dreams.  The  fact  that  he 
had  been  .shabbily  dressed  she  had  not  no- 
ticed at  all.  He  might  be,  for  all  she 
knew,  a  butcher,  boy,  a  poet  or  a  tramp. 
What  was  the  difiference  to  eighteen,  so 
long  as  he  was  tall  and  strong  and  vibrantly 
a  man  ? 

And  now  she  was  going  to  be  married ! 
-She  felt  like  one  in  a  troubled  dream  when 
she  thought  of  the  jumbled  whirl  of  events 
in  the  last  two  months,  since  her  father  had 
sent  for  her  at  the  convent  to  meet  the  man 
he  had  chosen  for  her.  Eve  laughed  aloud 
when  she  pictured  Henri  Caron  as  she  had 
seen  him  that  first  night,  fat.  in  spite  of 
desperate  corseting,  scented,  i)inkly  bald, 
with  red-rimmed  little  eyes  that  had 
yellow  whites  and  looked  at  her  in  a  way 
that  made  her  feel  ashamed  and  strangely 
naked. 

"He's  a  horrid  little  sausage,"  she  had 
written  Hilda  that  night,  "but  he's  rich,  and 
daddy  says  we  can  have  everything  in  the 
world  we  want.  So  I'm  engaged.  He  kist 
my  hand  and  put  a  ring  on  it,  a  diamond. 
It's  lovelv,  brighter  than  the  altar  with  all 
the  candies  lighted,  but  the  kiss  was  hor- 
rid. I  shall  slap  him  if  he  ever  does  it 
again.  He  has  a  beautiful  face  to  slap  .  .  ." 
Eve  de  Merincourt  looked  down  at  her 
diamond  cloudily.  It  would  be  nice  to  be 
rich,  for  richness  meant  fur  coats  and  pink 
silk  underclothes  and  an  automobile  and 
breakfast   in   bed,   and   all   the   candy  one

The  shoulder  of  her  dress  wanted  ;    and   being   poor   meant 

I'Zf^A    ^'a^u^  'Af^'i  unpleasant  things  like  scrubbing 

sound    and    she    felt    avid  n  t-.jjij  j       iT 

lips  on  her  neck  and  arm  """""s.      Uaddy    had    said    that 

they  vv'cmld  be  very,  very  poor 
unless  slie  married  tlie  little  fat 
Frenchman  who  had  made  millions  out  of  the  war  with,  his 
aeroplane  factory.  She  did  not  want  to  be  poor.  But  she  did 
not  want  to  marry  Henri  Caron.  either,  for  she  suspected  that 
marriage  would  give  him  a  right  to  kiss  her  hand  and  would 
take  away  her  right  to  object.  She  didn't  know  exactly  what 
being  married  was,  of  course — they  didn't  speak  of  such  things 
in  the  convent.  All  the  same,  there  had  been  stray  hints — a 
newsjiaper  blown  across  the  wall,  a  book  of  poems  one  of  the 
■girls  had  smuggled  in.  There  was  one  jioem  Eve  had  read  and 
reread,  feeling  the  heart  beneatli  her  young  bosom  pounding 
furiously,  she  did  not  know  why — 

"To  be  a  sweetness  more  desired  than  spring — 
A  bodily  beauty  more  acceptable  than  the  wild  rose  tree's  wreath  that 
crowns  the  fell — " 

Xo.  She  was  (|uite  sure  there  was  something^  about  mar- 
riage that  meant  that  that  detestable  little  man  witli  the  yellow 
eyes  could  kiss  her — and  she  simply  couldn't  bear  tliat !  Now. 
when  she  heard  the  sound  of  her  father's  stejis  on  the  threshold, 
she  turned  and  Hung  herself  upon  him,  trembling.  "Daddy! 
I — I  dont  want  to  marry  an  old.  fat.  dreadful  man.  I  would 
rather  have  a  young,  thin  husband.  Please,  please  find  me  one. 
There  was  a  man  like  that  I  saw  once  beyond  the  convent 
gate " 

Jaccjues  de  Merincourt  was  horrified.  The  very  notion  that 
.she  should  have  looked  at  a  man  without  an  introduction  drew 
dow-n  his  lip-corners,  brought  his  thin,  conventional  brows 
together.  "My  chi)d !"  he  exclaimed  gravely,  "  a  stranger — 
one  does  not  marry  slrain/ers!  Henri  is  my  friend.  He  has 
courted  you  properly  and  you  have  given  your  word.  .\11  is  as 
it  should  be.  Trust  your  father  to  do  what  is  best  for  you."  He 
did  not  finish,  "and  for  himself"  ;  he  preferred  not  to  admit  that. 


/\ n d  so  V. V e  went 
down  reluctantly  to  the 
gaiety  and  the  lights  and 
music  below,  a  childish 
figure  in  her  fragile  net 
frills  and  sashes,  who 
smiled  bashfully  at  the 
congratulations  of  her 
father's  friends  and 
trembled  like  a  child 
when  Henri  Caron 
minced  dapperly  to  her 
on  his  high,  varnished 
heels  and  laid  a  jeweled 
vanity  case  in  her  hand, 
bowing  Mi  that  she  saw 
the  shiny  seal])  at  the 
to])  of  his  head.  "For 
the  most  beautiful  I'eau- 
tiful  in  the  world,"  he 
said,  but  his  look  said 
other  things. 

She  danced.  The  mu- 
sic was  very  different 
from  that  of  the  convent 
organ  that  made  one 
think  of  solemn  proces- 
sions and  dark,  wide 
skies  and  mighty  wings. 
This  was  hot  and  swift 
— it  made  her  uneasy 
and  rapturous  and  dizzy. 
To  try  to  think,  she 
slipped  from  the  arms 
of  her  partner  —  his 
fingers  burned  hot  thru 
the  thin  sleeve  —  and 
went  to  the  window, 
drawing  the  long  velvet  folds  behind  her  that  she  might  lean 
her  throbbing  forehead  against  the  cool  glass.  .\nd,  leaning 
so.  she  looked  into  the  face  of  the  Stranger  Man  for  the  second 
time.     . 

He  was  standing  on  the  sidewalk,  beneath  tlie  window,  with 
a  curious  look  of  waiting,  as  tho  he  had  ex|iected  her.  The 
dark  was  all  around  him.  except  fgr  his  face,  lifted,  faintly 
smiling.  Her  lips  parted.  Her  father  had  called  him  a 
stranger.  '  .\bsurd !  Why,  she  knew  him  better  than  she  did 
Henri,   even    if   she   had   not   sjioken ;    she   knew    him   better 

than 

"Ah,- here  you  are,  cherie!"  her  betrothed  was  purring  in  her 
ear:  "they've  gone  in  to  supper — Fve  been  looking  for  you 
e\  erywhere.     Naughty  to  run  away  from  its  Henri  I" 

The  curtain  folds  fell  across  the  black  square  of  the  window, 
like  a  relentless  hand  pushing  her  back  from  her  glimpse  of 
life.  -She  felt  as  if  she  must  scream,  must  struggle  in  the  soft, 
strangling  net  of  fate  closing  about  her,  but  the  futility  of  it  all 
kept  her  silent.  What,  after  all,  could  she  say — that  she  had 
.seen  a  ])asser-by  in  the  street  whose  eyes  had  spoken  to  her 
tyes  .^  That  she  would  leave  all  her  safe  past,  her  conventional 
l)resent,  her  golden  future  gladly  to  go  out  into  the  unknown 
dark  with  him  ?  Her  father  was  right — they  were  strangers. 
Strangers! 

"Your  neck  was  made  for  a  rnan  to  kiss!"  Caron's  voice 
had  thickened.  She  looked  at  hitn  wonderingly.  with  a  stir- 
ring of  fright  as  she  saw  his  congested  face  and  the  glitter  in 
liis  lired/  watery  eyes.  .Suddenly  her  heart's  thudding  almost 
<ut¥ocated  her.  She  began  to  creep  away  from  him  with  jiite- 
>.u-  jjrecaution.  like  .some  little  hunted  animal,  but  with  a  short 
liark  of  laughter  he  was  holding  her  in  his  stubby,  muscular 
arms.    "Dont  play  with  me.  Eve!     I've  got  a  right  to  you.    Fm 

tired  of  having  only  the  tips  of  your  fingers " 

The  shoulder  of  her  dress  ri]i])ed  "with  a  jagged  sound  and 
she  felt  avid  lips  on  her  neck  and  arm.  In  the  convent  she 
had  dreamed  of  hell,  and  the  dream  had  been  no  more  dreadful 
than  this  struggle  against  his  animal  strength  and  lu.st.

CLASSIC 


Five  moments  later  a  man. 
standi  g  drearily  by  the 
water-front,  staring  down 
into  its  muddy  lethal  stream. 
saw  a  wild  little  figure  in 
torn  lace  and  crushed  net 
flounces  running  along  the 
quay.  His  thoughts  were 
l^aralyzed,  but  instinct  acted. 
She  screamed  insanely  once, 
twice,  when  he  reached  her, 
and  tried  to  spring,  but  he 

dragged  her  back.     He  had         ' 

never  felt  anyone  tremble  as 

she    trembled    now    against 

him.  and  then  she  lifted  her  white,  hunted   face  and  for  the 

third  time  their  eyes  met. 

"I — thought  you  were — thai  iium!"  she  panted,  clinging  con- 
vulsively. '"I  didn't  know — you  see — what  he  wanted,  and 
when — I  found  out.  1  knew  I  would  rather  die.  Oh,  much 
rather!" 

He  drew  a  slow  breath.  Two  derelicts  of  life,  brought  to- 
gether almost  at  the  point  of  shipwreck  by  the  tides,  the  dark, 
strong,  silent  tides  of  fate  that 
move  resistlessly.  In  the  last 
two  months  these  tides  had 
tossed  him  hither  and  yon  in 
sport,  from  the  depths  of  despair 
and  poverty,  to  sudden,  un- 
dreamed-of riches,  thence  down 
into  the  depths  again — of  self- 
loathing  and  broken  nerves  and 
the  sick  desire  to  escape  him- 
self. There  must  be  .some  mean- 
ing to  it  all,  when  the  one  girl 
he  had  ever  really  looked  at  had 
broken  thru  the  bars  of  the  con- 
vent and  come  across  the  months 
into  his  arms ! 

"Eve!"  They  had  neither  of 
them  noticed  that  a  limousine 
had  drawn  up  behind  them  and 
two  men  lea])ed  out.  until  the 
older  of  them  laid  authoritative 
hands  on  the  girl,  and  the  other, 
glaring,  pushed  her  rescuer  away. 
".'\11  this  excitement  has  been  too 
much  for  you  !  Come  home,  my 
darling,  and  you  shall  rest.  It's 
nerves.  Caron — a  totally  inexpe- 
rienced girl  suddenly  brought 
face  to  face  with  the  facts  of 
life.  But  she'll  come  around — 
be  i)atient  with  her!" 

"I  shall  be  patience  itself,  \non 
cher  Jacques!"  the  shorter  man 
assured  him.  as  they  led  the 
shuddering,  speechless  girl  away 
between  them,  "she  is  worth  wait- 
ing for " 

The  .Strange  Man  looked  af- 
ter them,  seeing,  instead  of  two 
gentlemen  in  conventional  eve- 
ning clothes  helping  a  girl  into  a 
costly  car,  two  satyrs  dragging 
their  victim  in  triumph  between 
them.  Then  the  great  machine 
sprang  forward  into  the  night 
and  was  gone.  But  the  .Strange 
Man  did  not  return  to  his  fixed. 


He  groaned.     "God!"  said  Richard 

to   the    sea,    "how    am    I    going   to 

stand    this    seven    months    longer? 

It's  asking  too  much  of  a  man!"

dying  now.  As  long  as  that 
girl  was  on  earth,  he  could 
not  leave  it.  Preposterous, 
of  cour.se !  A  stranger — but 
he  knew  that  he  had  not 
seen  the  last  of  her;  that, 
once  again,  under  some  sky, 
beside  some  far  waters,  they 
would   stand   together   as

Peregrinations 

By 

LOUISE  GLAUM 

Being  the  first  of  a  series  nf  literary  rambles  thru  the 
Hollywood  screen  colony 


I   AM   sure  there  are  no  more  interesting  streets  in  the 
world  than  I-iroadway,  New  York,  Chicago's  Michi- 
gan Boulevard  and  the  Hollywood  Boulevard  of  Los 
Angeles,  where  all  the  motion  jiicture  folk  promenade  o' 
nights. 

It  is  a  iiicturcsque  houlevard,  this  Via  Cinema,  as  it 
might  be  called. 

Here  the  business  man  from  Los  Angeles  or  the  visit- 
ing millionaire  from  Kansas  City  who  hajipens  to  be  so- 
journing in  Pasadena  have  full  opportunity  to  see  pic- 
turedom  en  faiiiillc,  so  to  S|)eak. 

From  the  contents  of  the  mass  of  "fan"  correspon- 
dence which  reaches  me  at  the  studio,  it  would  seem  that, 
had  each  motion  picture  devotee  an  Aladdin's  lamp,  he 
and  she  would  wish  themselves  at  once  upon  this  ])ath- 
way  of  the  famous,  and  yet  Hollywood  Boulevard  might 
be  said  to  represent  disillusionment  to  the  layman,  for 
along  this  highway  one  can  see  Charlie  Ray,  with  the 
youthful  Mrs.  Ray  in  the  Ray  supermobile,  and  write  the 
folks  at  home  that  now  he  knows  for  sure  that  Charlie 
is  married,  et  cetera,  and  immediately  Oshkosh  or  Gallup 
will  be  inundated  with  a  saline  flood  from  the  tear-ducts 
of  "eligible  femininity." 

Here,  again,  one  will  see  Charlie  Chaplin  in  his  off- 
scene  riile,  (so  well  known  to  the  screen  colony),  of  the 
melanchf)ly  Dane. 

He  will  see  Anita  Stewart,  Enid  Bennett,  Jack  (J. 
Warren)  Kerrigan  and  VVallie  Reid,  with  Mrs.  Reid  and 
the  Reid  Kiddie,  hobnobbing  on  terms  of  delightful 
intimacy. 

Xow,  some  people  have  told  me 
that  the  public  consider  the  mov- 
ing |)icture  .star  possessed  of  an 
extreme  hauteur  and  a  quite,  regal 
self-consideration.  This,  I  assure 
you,  dear  readers,  is  not  a,  fact. 
ALiybe  I  am  disillusioning  you  in 
telling  you  this.  (In  the  other 
hand,  perhaps  I  am  doing  my 
Jirofession  a  great  service  in  re- 
lating to  you  the  human  qualities 
of  the  ])eople  who  make  up  the 
screen  colony  in  Los  Angeles.  For 
here  in  Hollywood,  one  discovers 
the  BohemianisiTi  of  the  West. 
The  screen  colony  is  not  only  the 
exclusive  qiiar'tier  of  motion  pic- 
ture players — it  also  embraces  the 
allied  arts  and  professions,  for 
screen  artists  are  really  the  most 
gregarious  animals  in  the  world, 
anrl  the  most  democratic  at 
heart. 

Before  I  wrote  this  article,  the 
editor  of  this  publication  seemed 
to  be  interested  in  my  story  of  the 
way  the  ]iub!ic's  silversheet  fa- 
vorites live,  and  so  in  our  rambles 
thru  Hollywood,  I  am  going  to 
try  to  give  you  an  intimate  glimpse 
of  the  rcnl.

I  "I'm  so  happy  and  pleased  that  the  critics 
J^  seem  to  Hke  my  role  of  Grace  Good- 
wright  in  'The  Devil's  Passkey,'  "  said 
Una  Trevelyn  and  smiled  contentedly. 
"That  was  the  second  picture  I  ever  made, 
the  first  being  a  small  bit  with  Bessie  Barriscale. 
One  day  I  went  out  to  the  Universal  studio  to  see 
the  casting  director,  and  the  instant  he  saw  me  he 
exclaimed,  'You're  just  the  girl.'  He  sent  for  Erich 
von  Stroheim,  and  when  he  came  in  he  took  one 
long  look  and  repeated  the  remark  with  emphasis, 
'You're  just  the  girl.'  It  seems  they  had  been  look- 
ing for  a  certain  type — I  was  the  type — so  they 
signed  me  then  and  there  to  play  the  leading  role 
in  Von's  second  big  production. 

"If  I  climb  to  the  heights  of  film  fame,"  she 
continued,  merrily,  "it  will  be  thru  a  vale  of  tears, 
for  in  this  play' I  wept  for  fifteen  solid  weeks. 
Really,  I  becanie  so  depressed  that  I  would  wake 
up  in  the  middle  of  the  night,  sobbing  bitterly. 
It  was  a  splendid  part,  tho.  sweet  and  sympathetic, 
for,  you  see,  the  trouble  was  cau.sed  thru  no  di- 
rect fault  of  mine  and  I  could  easily  throw  myself 
into  it. 

".\fter  all  the  misunderstanding  and  misery,  there 
is  a  pretty  ending — with  a  bright  new  hope — the 
scene  being  at  dawn.  We  tried  for  six  week.s  to 
catch  the  sun  at  just  the  right  place  for  that  final 
scene. 

"Detail  is  Erich  von  Stroheim's  first,  second  and 
last  name,"  went  on  Miss  Trevelyn.  "Why,  he  even 
took  me  along  when  he  selected  the  furniture,  colors

and  perfumes  to  be  used  in  my  boudoir  sets — 
to  insure  the  personal  touch! 

"He  is  very  temperamental — how  we  used 
to  clash — our  two  strong  wills!"  and  Una 
laughed  in  memory  of  frequent  tilts.  "How- 
ever, I  fully  appreciate  all  I  learnt  from  him." 
she  went  on,  seriou.sly,  "for  Von  makes  you 
7t'ork.  He  expects  you  to  throw  yourself  into 
the  rehearsals  as  completely  as  if  the  camera 
was  going,  and  by  the  time  I  had  gone  thru  the 
action  several  times  I  became  so  imbued  with 
the  spirit  of  the  scene  that  I  hardly  realized  that 
I  was  acting  a  part — I  was  actually  living  it. 

"Following  'The  Devil's  Passkey,'  I  made  a 
picture  with  Lois  Weber,  'What  Men  Want.' 
In  the  role  of 
Renee,  I  played  a 
dope  fiend,  a  vicious 
sort  of  girl,  and 
had  some  strong 
dramatic  moments.

to  do  a  big  scene 
than  one  requiring

Una  Trevelyn  was  born  of  I'.nglish  parents,  in 
English  waters,  on  ail  Knglish  boat,  and  is  a 
daughter  of  the  United  Kingdom,  tho  she  has 
never  set  foot  on  English  soil.  Her  father,  being 
a  younger  son  of  the  well-known  Trevelyns, 
decided  to  answer  the  call  of  wider  opportunities 
offered  by  the  United  Slates,  and  it  was  a  few 
hours  after  her  (larents  had  set  sail  for  this  coun- 
try that  Una's  arrival  in  this  world  occurred. 

After  remaining  in  New  York  for  a  short 
period,  the  family  went  on  down  to  Memphis, 
Tennessee,  where  they  established  their  home. 

Una  spent  her  school-days  at  the  exclusive 
Southern  college,  Ward-Belmont,  in  Nashville, 
where  .she  was  graduated.  All  this  tirne,  deep  w^ithin 
her  heart,  stirred  the  ambition  for  a  stage  career. 

Tho  reared  in  the  strictest  home  atmosphere, 
where  the  theater  was  never  mentioned,  Una 
says  that  her  mother  has  often  told  her  that  when 
she  was  a  wee  girlie  she  was  always  acting. 
Whenever  she  was  corrected,  the  child  would 
stage  a  big.  emotional  scene,  the  mother  knowing 
all  the  time  that  Una  herself  was  conscious  that 
she  was  acting.

Miss  Trevelyn 
dabbled  a  little 
with  local  stock  com-

ily's opposition  was 
so  pronounced  that 
she  realized  she  must 
seek  fame  at  a  di.stance,  so,  after  graduating,  she 
ran  away  to  New  York. 

"Odd  thing,  to  look  back  on  one's  first  steps," 
mused  Una,  one  afternoon  as  she  told  me  the 
story  over  a  cup  of  tea  in  the  cool  tea-room  at 
the  .Mexandria  Hotel.  "Before  I  had  a  chance 
to  become  discouraged  in  New  York,  I  met  a 
chap  I  had  known  at  home,  and  he  intioduced 
me  to  a  friend  who  was  forming  a 'stock  com- 
pany to  take  out  to  Sioux  City.  Well,  I  fibbed  a 
little  about  my  experience,  and  he  promptly 
signed  ine. 

"After  I  had  settled  down  in  .Sioux  City, 
thinking  everything  was  lovely  and  wondering 
how  I  should  break  the  news  at  home,  the  family 
found  me  thru  detectives — you  .see,  I  was  still 
under  age.  This  .served  to  make  me  more  de- 
termined than  ever,  and  at  Detroit  I  eluded  the 
detective  who  was  taking  me  home  and  went  on 
to  New  York.  There  I  reached  mother  by

"My  Irish  Molly-0" 


Bv 
ELIZABETH    PELTRET 


HAvr.  you  ever  imai^iiied  wliat  il  would  be  like  to 
meet  a  girl  out  of  a  ])o]Hilai"  Irish  song.'     If  you 
have,  it  was  probalily  with  an  inner  feeling  that 
no  such  thing  could  ever  ha])|ien,  which  is,  of  course, 
all  wrong.     I'"or  instance,  take  Molly  Malnne. 

You  would  know  that  she  was  a  girl  out  of  a  song 
the  instant  ymi  looked  at  her.     She  is  a  tiny  girl  .    .   . 
about  five  feet  small,  you  would  guess  .    .    .  with  fine, 
thick,   bobbed  hair,   which   is   often   in   rebellious   di.s- 
ordcr.  and  large,  expressive  brown  eyes.     And  she  has 
all  the  (|ualitics  jiortraycd  in  those  songs,  too!     Impul- 
sive, sometimes  lo  the  pcjint  of  being  headstrong, 
and  warm-hearted  and   sincere  and   plucky  and 
lovable.     She  has  a  way  of   looking  up  at  you 
thai  makes  you  want  to  grab  and  hug  her,  it  is 
.so    reminiscent    of    a    very    serious    si.\-year-old 
child.     Hut  to  get  to  my  story: 

She  had  not  expected  to  work  that  week 
but  was  called  to  the  studio  on  the  day  of 
our  appointment  just  too  late  to  let  me 
know,  so  1  arrived  to  find  her  not  at  home. 

"I  can  tell  you  all  about  her."  her  mother 
suggested,  hojiefully.  1  said  that  I  was 
afraid  that  thai  wouldn't  do,  hut  we  chat- 
ted for  a  while,  anyway,  before  I  left  to  go 
to  the  studio. 

lUu  luck   was  with  me.     Just  as  I  was 


Molly  Malone  was,  all 
press-agent  stories  to 
the  contrary,  not  a  suc- 
cess at  first  in  pictures. 
Tt  was  only  when  she 
had  failed  completely 
and  started  all  over 
again  from  the  very 
hottom  of  the  ladder, 
that  she  really  began 
to  make  progress.  She 
is  now  being  featured 
in  a  series  of  Supreme 
Comedies,  the  first  one 
being  named  "Molly's 
Millions" 


leaving  the 
bungalow- 
court,  where  she  lives, 
I   met    Molly    Malone 
and    we    turned    back 
to  the  house. 

"I  didn't,  have  my 
week's  vacation  after 
all,''  .she  said;  "I've 
been  working  all 
morning."  .She  w'as 
without  a  hat  and  the 
long  mauve  cape  that 
she  wore  accentuated 
her  girlishness. 
impressed  with  the  suitability  of 
ilace    for  her   to   live. 


1   was  suddenl 
that   bungalow    court    as   a 
.'^landing  at  the  entrance  of  it  as  we  were,  it  looked 
more  like  a  toy  village  than  anything  else. 

There  are  seventy  quaint  little  houses,  all  exactly 
alike,  from  the  number  of  stairs  leading  to  each 
front  door  to  the  width  of  each  tiny  square  of  lawn, 
all  set  facing  a  narrow  court  with  a  fountain  in  the 
center  of  it.  Inside,  these  little  bungalows  are  as 
cozy  and  pretty  as  you  could  ask  for. 

"Tho,"  said  Molly  Malone,  "there  is  too  much

lead  the  eye  down  the  slender  arm 
to  rest  on  the  finger  tips.  These 
and  a  dozen  other  pretty  fancies 
this  season  are  especially  designed 
to  display  the  hand. 

Never  before  have  hands  been 
so  conspicuous.  Nev^er  before  have 
women  given  so  much  thought  to 
their  care. 

The  chief  beauty  of  the  hands  is 
the  nails.  The  cuticle  must  be  slen- 
der, even,  firm.  It  is  unpardonable 
this  year  not  to  have  perfectly  kept 
nails  and  cuticle. 

Fortunately,  it  is  no 
longer  hard  to  keep  the 
nails  lovely. 

An  easy,  quick,  safe  way 
has  been  discovered  tor 
manicuring  your  nails!  A 
way  which  thousands  of 
women  are  using  regularly. 

With  fifteen  or  twenty 
minutes  given  regularly 


Cutting  the  cuticle  leaves  a 
ragged,  irregular  edge.  The  more 
you  cut  it,  the  more  rapidly  the 
cuticle  grows  —  the  tougher  and 
more  uneven  it  becomes. 

With  a  bit  of  cottoi'  wrapped 
around  the  end  of  an  orange  stick 
and  dipped  in  Cutex  work  gently 
around  the  base  of  the  nail.  Now 
wash  your  hands,  and,  as  you  dry 
them,  push  the  cuticle  back. 

For  snowy  white  nail  tips,  apply 
a  little  Cutex  Nail  White  under- 
neath   the    nails.      Finish    your

David  Warfield,  the  beloved  veteran  of 
the  dramatic  stage,  marvels  with  Cecil 
de  Mille  at  the  wonders  of  an  old- 
fashioned  picture  projector — the  kind 
you  used  to  see  providing  amusement  to 
visitors  in  the  office  of  the  country  den- 
tist. Center,  Anita  Stewart  has  discov- 
ered a  new  way  to  alleviate  the  burden 
of  Uncle  Sam's  postal  clerks.  Below, 
King  Vidor,  the  promising  young  direc- 
tor, discusses  the  script  of  his  latest

Harry  Todd  and  Fred  Turner,  who  both 
appear  in  this  play 


Pacific  Coast  Paragraphs 


Bv 
HAZEL   SHELLEY 


P.Mii-ic  is  the  most  |)ro])er  and  fitting  title  for  anything  and  every- 
thing pertaining  to  tlie  West  Coast  studios.  That  is,  on  the  sur- 
face .  .  .  Peace,  the  perpetual  sun  and  a  layer  of  dust  reign 
supreme.  Desultory  stage  hands  whack  at  a  solitary  nail,  the  safety- 
.[lin  of  tremendous  .structures,  as  if  it  mattered  not  at  all  whether 
tomorrow  came  or  went.  In  the  yards  hundreds  and  hundreds  oi 
automobiles  are  parked,  a  slight  layer  _of  yellow  dust  soiling  evei 
the  most  pretentious,  as  if,  indeed,  they  had  waited  here  long  an( 
long  forgotten  their  claims  to  speed. 

On  the  stages  themselves  a  few  actors  are  being  measured  fo 
]iroper  camera  focus;  directors  stroll  aroupd ;  a  Sabbath  quie 
envelo]is  the  gardens  where  motion  pictures  are  grown. 

.\  peaceful  lethargy  .seems  to  enfold  the  studios  in  a  benignani 
calm  :   the  [leace  of  the  Pacific.     , 

Out  here  I  miss  the  hurry  of  Xew  York — so  far  I  have  knocked 
dcjwn  ten  persons  on  the  Los  .\ngeles  sidewalks  in  my  mad  endeavor 

to  create  a  little  speed. 
Here  time  and  tide 
wait  for  every  man — 
and  tomorrow  will  do 
as  well  as  today. 

.\nd  yet  under  this 
brooding  calm,  great 
tilings  are  hapjiening 
.  .  .  enormous  plans 
are  being  formulated. 
The  King  is  dying,  long 
live  the  King — for  in 
these  peaceful  Pacific 
places,  new  stars  are 
being  born — new  gen- 
iuses being  given  a 
chance. 

And  speaking  of 
chances,  another  erst- 
while comedy  queen  is 
about  to  come  into  her 
own  under  the  magic 
De  Mille  management. 
Ora  Carew  is  the  latest 
pretty    bathing   girl    to 


park  lier  bathing-suit  in  moth-balls  forever  and  aye — having  just 
affixed  her  name  to  a  contract  by  which  she  becomes  William  de 
Mille's  leading  woman.  Her  first  picture  under  the  direction  of  Mr. 
de  Mille  will  be  "His  Friend  and  His  Wife,''  adapted  from  Cosmo 
Hamilton's  novel. 

And  while  speaking  of  the  De  Milles,  Cecil,  that  wonderful  expo- 
nent of  silken  lure,  has  chosen  Forrest  .Stanley  to  .succeed  Thomas 
Meighan  and  Elliott  Dexter,  as  his  leading  man.  Both  of  these  splen- 
did players  have  graduated  to  stardom,  you  know. 

Yesterday,  while  discussing  the  addition  of  Stanley  to  his  forces, 
Mr.  de  Mille  said.  "He  has  youth,  intelligence,  ability  and  the  sort 
of  experience  which  I  am  certain  will,  combine  to  place  him  s|)eedily 
in  the  forefront  of  screen  ]ilayers." 

What  picture  Cecil  de  Mille  will  make  next  is  not  yet  ascertained. 
He  has  two  stories,  one  by  Jeanie  MacPherson  and  the  other  by  Hec- 
tor Turnbull,  both  of  which  he  will  film,  with  the  question  of  jirece- 
dence  the  only  one  now  to  be  determined.  One  is  a  satire  and  the 
other  a  spectacle — and  it  all  depends  ujion  Mr.  de  Mille's  mood  which 
he  selects  to  make  first. 

The  most  active  jierson  out  at  the  Metro  studios  these  days  is  the 
doorkee])er.  It  matters  not  how  often  I  journey  to  the  other  end  of 
Los  .\ngeles  for  the  express  purjiose  of  visiting  the  Metro  stars,  eacli 
and  every  time  he  eyes  me  with  distrust ;  nay,  more  .  .  .  every  one 
of  his  muscles  quivers,  as  he  jumps  up  and  down  madly  in  his  wild 
desire  to  throw  me  out.  And  always  just  in  time,  the  publicity  depart- 
ment comes  to  my  rescue  and  I  am  permitted  to  pass.

\  How   to   overcome   the 


H 


havoc  wrought  by  sun, 
wind  and  dust 


THE  exposure  of  the  skin  to 
summer  weather  often  in- 
flicts deep,  permanent  injury  on 
the  delicate  cells  of  the  skin. 

Repeated  sunburn  over-stimu- 
lates the  oil  glands  and  gives  the 
skin  a  greater  tendency  to  shine. 
Wind  coarsens  the  texture  of  the 
complexion.  Dust  works  deep 
into  the  pores  and  irritates  them. 

However,  with  a  little  intelli- 
gent care  you  can  overcome  these 
ill  effects. 

TO  o\ercome  the  tendency  to 
shine  caused  by  sunburn,  you 
must  counteract  the  over-secre- 
tion of  oil.  This  oil  may  be 
absorbed  and  discouraged  by 
constant  contact  with  a  good  face 
powder.  But  to  bring  results  you 
must  apply  the  powder  in  such  a 
way  that  it  will  stay  on  the  face. 


I'tcp  mil'  //i,'  f^ores  the  crafty 
titist  sfi^ck.1  work.  You  nccit 
a  different  cream  lo  get  them 
•  III — a  cream  u-ith  an  uil  hose. 


If  pondering  is  to  be  at  all  last- 
ing, the  thing  to  do  is  always  to 
apply  a  powder  base.  For  this 
a  special  cream  is  needed,  a 
cream  which  disappears  instantly 
and  will  not  reappear.  Pond's 
Vanishing  Cream  does  just  this. 
It  is  made  entirely  without  oil. 
r  he  moment  you  apply  it,  it  van- 
ishes, never  to  reappear.  Before 
you  powder  apply  just  a  little 
Pond's  \'anlshing  Cream.  It 
holds  the  powder  to  the  face 
twice  as  long  as  ever  before  and 
prevents  it  from  shining. 

THE  coarseness  due  to  the 
wind  may  be  gradually  over- 
come by  the  use  of  a  special 
greaseless  cream  during  the  day, 
to  soften  the  skin  and  protect  it 
from  further  injury. 

Pond's  \'anishing  Cream  con- 
tains an  ingredient  famous  for 
years  for  its  softening  effects. 
Before  every  outing,  apply  a  bit 
of  Pond's  ^'anishing  Cream.  It 
will  protect  your  skin  and  grad- 
ually make  it  finer  in  texture. 

DUST  is  the  worst  enemy  of 
your  skin.  It  quickly  works 
deep  into  the  pores  and  darkens 
and  irritates  them.  To  restore 
clear  color  to  the  skin,  you  must 
give  the  pores  a  deep  cleansing 
with  an  entirely  different  cream — 
a  cream  ziilli  an  oil  base.  Pond's 
Cold  Cream  has  just  the  amount 
of  oil  to  work  deep  into  the  pores

Gossip  of  the 
Eastern  Studios 


Easti:kn  screen  interests  now  seem  to  center  in 
David  Wark  Griffith's  forthcoming  film  rep- 
ertoire season  at  a  New  York  playhouse  to 
be  named  later.  Mr.  Griffith's  .seasons  are  now 
annual  events — and  things  to  be  looked  forward 
to.  Recall  that  his  last  season  at  Cohan's  Theater 
produced  "Broken  Blossoms." 

This  year  Mr.  Griffith  will  start,  some  time  late 
in  .August  ijrobably,  with  "  'Way  Down  Kast," 
which  he  has  been  shooting  since  before  last 
Christmas.  The  total  footage  ran  to  between 
600,000  and  700,000  feet,  and,  at  this  writing,  the 
cutting  has  brought  it  down  to  26,000  feet,  or  26 
reels.  As  the  production  will,  it  is  e.xpected,  be 
released  in  eight  reels.  Mr.  Cjriffith  still  has  quite 
a  task  ahead  of  him.  Prominent  in  tlie  cast  are 
Lillian  Gish,  Dick  Barthelmess,  Mary  Hay, 
Creighton  Hale.  Burr  Mcintosh,  Kate  Bruce  and 
others  of  prominence. 

Another  feature  of  Mr.  Griffith's  repertoire 
season  will  be  "The  Love  Flower,"  origi- 
nally produced  as  "Black  Beach"  and  the 
production  which  the  director  bought  back 
from  First  National  to  elaborate  and  en- 
large. Carol  Demp.ster  has  the  leading  rule. 
Bobbie  Harron  is  doing  nicely  with  his 
individual  productions,  made  at  the  Griffith 
Mamaroneck  studios  and  which  are  to  be 
released  thru  Metro.  The  first  of  the  star 
series  is  "Coincidence,"  directed  by  Chet 
Withey.  June  Walker,  who  scored  last 
season  on  the  stage  in  "My  Lady  Friends," 
with  the  late  Clifton  Crawford,  is  leading 
woman. 

Film    fans    will    be    interested   to   know 
that  Betty  Compson's  new  pictures,  begin- 
ning with  "Prisoners  of  Love,"  will  be  re- 
leased thru  Goldwyn  channels.    Miss  Comp- 
son  is  the  young  actress  who  scored  so 
sensationally  in  "The  Miracle  Man." 
Bessie    Love    has   been    visiting   in 
New  York.    Ethel  Clayton  has  been  in 
the  metropolis,  too,  prior  to  departing 
for  Ei'rope. 

By  the  way,  nearly  every  American 
star  will  be  on  the  Continent  or  in  the 
Orient  before  the  year  is  over,  it 
.seems.  Mary  Pickford,  Douglas  Fair- 
banks and  Theda  Bara  are  in  England, 
The  Talmadges  and  Dorothy  Gish 
plan  to  tour  Europe.  Elsie  Ferguson 
has  gone  to  Japan. 

The  first  seal  of  the  new  Motion 
Picture-Theatrical  Association  of  the 
World  was  awarded  to  "Suds,"  Mary 
Pickford's  latest  vehicle.  The  presen- 
tation was  made  on  the  stage  of  the 
Strand  Theater,  New  York,  on  June 
27th,  by  Frank  Bacon,  secretary  of 
the  organization.  As  Mary  was  ab- 
sent in  London,  the  gift  of  the  replica 
in  gold  of  the  seal  was  accepted  on 
her  behalf  bv  her  mother,  Mrs.  Char- 
lotte Pickford. 

Rcalart  announces  its  newest  star  to 
be  Justine  Johnson,  well  known  to  the 
stage.  Her  first  picture  will  be  (ieorge 
Scarborough's  "Moonlight  and  Honey- 
■suckle."

tions are  a  little  out  of  my  line.  I  have  no 
air-line. 


Liu.iAN  R. — No.  no,  Norma  Talmndge  does 
not  live  at  the  studio  on  4Kth  Street.  She  iias 
a  real  home  of  her  own.  I  think  it  is  true 
that  actresses  who  cry  easily  are  the  best  ac- 
tresses. They  are  the  most  emotional.  It  is 
also  true  that  widows  who  cry  easily  are  the 
first  to  marry  again  There  i^  nothing  like 
wet  weather  for  transplanting.  Wow  I  Bring 
on  the  fan  I  \'iola  Dana  in  "Dangerous  to 
Men,"     Not   to   mc.   Viola. 

Fot'R  Bei.i.s.— That's  what  you  get  for  stav- 
ing out  all  night.  You  say  that  if  your  shoes- 
would  e\er  acquire  the  shine  your  uo?-^  docs, 
you  would  be  in  10  cents  every  day.  Why 
vshould  you  not  he  just  as  proud  of  a  shine 
on  your  nose  as  you  are  of  a  shine  on  your 
shoes?  Samuel  i.umiere  and  Charles  .\lbin 
are  our  official  photographers.  Shadowlaxd 
is   35    cents. 

Dere  Mari.e. — I  am  quite  sure  you  have  the 
wrong   Marion   Da  vies. 

Phyllis. — Baby  Marie  Osborne  played  in 
"Baby's  Diplomacy."  "Tears  and  Smiles."  "The 
Little  Diplomat."  "Sawdust  Doll,"  and  "The 
Evidence."  You  will  see  Wesley  Barry  play- 
ing in  leads  when  he  grows  up.  Surely  a  girl 
living  in  Canada  may  join  the  Fame  and  For- 
tune   Contest.      Why   not? 

Jack. — Yes,  I  like  your  stage  name.  You 
ought  to  hob  your  hair.  I  ha\(e  been  thinking 
seriously  of  doing  it.  King  Baggot  played  op- 
posite Alay   -A-llison   in   "The  Cheater," 

The  Quakers. — The  ghost  walks  around 
here  every  two  weeks.  You  know  why  they 
call  it  that  name?  Because  it  makes  our  spirits 
rise.  Yes,  to  your  Constance  Talmadge  (lues- 
tion.  She  has  been  in  here  lots  of  tirrtes — we 
all  love  her. 

Classic. — Milton  Sills  is  in  California  now. 

EsTELLE. — Short  and   sweet   is   right. 

SuNSHiN'E. — Paidine  Frederick  is  released 
from  her  (ioldwyn  contract.  Her  last  two  pic- 
tures are  "Roads  of  Destiny"  and  "Madam 
X."  Anita  Stewart  is  playing  in  "Harriet  and 
the  Piper."  Irving  Cummings  and  Charles 
Richman  in  the  cast.  Perhaps  we  admire  a 
lieautiful  soul  more  than  a  beautiful  face, 
but  we  dont  run  after  it  quite  so  hard. 

Fairuanks. — Thanks  for  the  clipping.  It 
wasn't  reviewed  as  severely  as  that  in  the 
East, 

Bn'E  Eyes. — Honestly,  if  Norma  Talmadge. 
corresponded  with  all  the  people  who  asked 
me  that  (luestion  today  you  would  never  see 
her  on  the  screen,  because  she  would  have  to 
spend  all  her  time  writing.  Have  a  heart 
girls,  and  boys,  too;  you  expect  too  much  of 
the   players. 

Dana,  anh  That  .^men  Glv's  Wife. — 
Good  luck  to  yon,  girls,  aiid  remember  your 
oath   at  the  altar.     Obey! 

Ln.A  Lek  Fan.— I  am  not  sure  whether 
Mary  Miles  Minter  has  a  brother  in  Los  An- 
geles, but  I  <loul>t  it  very  much.  Ralph  Graves 
is  not  married.  Yes,  this  seems  to  be  a  very 
disordered  world  of  ours.  Some  are  over- 
worked, some  do  not  have  to  work,  some  are 
being  worked  by  those  \\  ho  do  not  ha\e  to 
work,  and  some  who  want  to  work,  cant  find 
work.

.\nother  candle  burned  on  the  convent

lUit  on  a  small,  deserted  island  many 
miles  otY  the  coast  of  I'liprida.  the  story 
th.it  was  he^'nn  with  the  meetinj;  of  two 
pairs  of  eyes  tlirn  the  coment  jjate  went 
on  to  another  chapter,  as  it  was  meant  to 
j;o  on  from  the  bej;innin};  of  the  world. 
Richard  liedell.  \(iluntaiy  exile,  had 
deliberately  destroyed  the  boat  that 
broii<,'ht  him  to  this  wild,  uinisited  .spot, 
knowinj,'  that  until  his  year  of  refjenera- 
tion  was  oxer  and  his  friends  had  come 
to  find  bin),  as  they  had  promised,  he 
uipuld  see  no  other  human  soul.  Hut 
man  cannot  ijet  aw.av  from  fate,  tho  he 
travel  to  the  ends  of  the  earth,  and  so, 
one  sparklini;  mornin',',  he  h.ad  come  out 
of  the  hut  he  had  constructed  for  him- 
self, his  dot;  ;rt  heel,  to  tind  that  he  had 
,1  \isitor  who  h.id  fallen  from  the  very 
skies. 

In  a  cruiupleil  heap  imder  the  tree 
\\liich  contained  the'  frafjments  of  the 
aeroplane,  h.ve  lay  as  tho  she  were  asleep. 
.\s  he  bent  over  her  she  stirred  drowsily 
and  her  eyes  unclosed.  His  liearl  leajied 
as  site  lookeil  up  into  his  face,  then  sank  ■ 
like  a  stone,  for  her  s,'.aze  was  shallow 
and  empty  and  ol.icidly  luirememberinj;. 
The  shock  of  the  fall  li.-id  left  her  beau- 
tiful hotly  miraculously  intact,  but  h.'id 
taken  her  mind  away!  It  was  a  cruel 
jest  of  fate.  .Somewhere  in  the  limitless 
void,  he  could  imai,'ine  perils  of  cosntic 
mirth,  mockinj;  them. 

l-",\e  fountl  herself  in  a  puzzliiif;  unrlil. 
The  ]>uzzle  « as  not  why  or  how  she 
c-imc  to  be  there.  That  seemed  ijuite 
nalural.  She  .accepted  Kichartl,  the  hut. 
the  island  contentedly,  but  she  could  not 
uuilersland  u  hy  he  would  not  let  her  d.j 
llu  things  she  wanted  to  do.  There  was 
the  matter  of  clothe^,  .'^he  h;iled  the 
ones  that  she  uure.  hea\y.  cluiusy  thint,'s 
ih.al  uave  her  .-i  str;iu;;c  sort  of  I'c.ir  when, 
she  looked  iloun  ;it  them.  So  at  nti;hl, 
\v  hen  she  was  aloiu'  in  the  hut  .incl  Kicli- 
.iril  u:i--  sleepini;  in  ;i  ^belter  of  |jou},'hs 
ouiviile.  she  took  them  off  and  was 
ple.ased  and  delighted  to  di-cnver  charm- 
iiii;  pink,  snfi  thin.i,'s  undcrne.itli.  liut 
uhen  slie  r.iii  to  him  in  the  morning, 
cl.'ippinf;  her  li.-mils  with  ple.a-ure  in  her 
~eif.  he  lich;i\cd  very  -tran.yely  ami  even, 
-he  thou[;lii.  .ilmo-l  unkindK. 


roui  I'aijc  ,s()) 

He  told  her,  with  his  back  turned,  lo 
|Hil  on  her  dotlies,  and  she  answered, 
triuiuphantly.  that  she  h;id  burned  them 
liecause  they  were  nasty.  Then  he  founil 
.1  much,-too-larj;e  shirt  and  a  Jiair  of 
trousers  and  dressed  her  in  them,  rather 
clumsily,  because  his  fingers  fumbled 
i|ueerly  over  the  task.  .She  saw  th.al  he 
u.is  anj,'ry  and  her  lips  quivered.  "I'.ve 
ilidn't  mean  to  be  naughty!"  she  befjued, 
"Hut  why  is  it  naughty  to  wear  pretty 
things  instead  of  ugly  things!'" 

He  groaned  at  that.  "(iod!"  -aid 
Richard  to  the  sea,  "how  am  I  going  to 
stand  this  seven  months  longer?  It's 
asking  too  much  of  a  man  !" 

,She  was  frightened.  She  climbed 
u]ion  the  rock  beside  him  and  kist  him 
\\\\\\  the  ojien,  care'.ess  li]is  of  a  child. 
He  looked  at  her  with  suffering  eyes, 
bent  his  head  and  clenched  his  h.nids  at 
his  sides.  When  he  lifted  it  at  last  there 
was  sweat  in  beads  on  his  forehead,  l)Ut 
he  was  smiling  ])atient!y,  "No,  no, 
h'.ve!"  he  said,  in  a  tired  voice.  "Mustn't 
do  that,  dear.  That's  naughty,  too, 
Xow  let's  go  fishing!  I'll  let  you  holt! 
the  rod." 

The  days  drifted  away  into  eternity, 
the  suns  rose  in  opal  and  ametliysl,  set 
in  crimson  and  i)urpk'.  the  moons  grew 
red  and  swollen  beyond  the  moss-beardetl 
trees  and  Richard  liedell  felt  the  ohl 
strength  and  ]iride  tjf  rewon  nianhooil 
setting  in  a  strong  tide  thru  his  veins. 
Three  ye.'irs  in  the  Flanders  trenches, 
two  months  of  discouraging  se.'irch  for 
work,  two  more  months  of  unbridled  di>- 
sipation  hail  added  years,  but  fierce  phys- 
ical toil,  hewing  of  trees,  the  m.'iiching 
of  his  body  against  the  elements  aiitl 
Nature  sloughed  theni  off  again. 

Thru  it  all  F.ve  was  ever-present,  run- 
ning barefoot  on  the  sands,  dancing  nilil 
little  dances,  singing  formless  songs, 
laughing  the  laugh  of  a  three-year-old 
child  wilh  the  ri|)e,  fervid,  glowing  lips 
of  a  wiiman.  Slie  was  a  bell  made  lo 
give  forth  rich,  vibnint  music,  but,  thru 
an  invisible  Haw,  forced  to  tinkle  instead, 
.She  was  made  for  the  de.'ir  ofllces  of 
line,  and  yet  she  coidd  only  be  pitied  anil 
protected.  It  was  a  situation  to  test  the 
mettle  of  ,'t  ]ihilosopher,  and  at  twenty- 
eight  a  man  does  not  live  on  the  dry 
crusts  of  philoso]ihy,  I'.ut  Richard 
*t.'ir\ed  himself  and  kept  his  guardiaM' 
-hip  imlarnished  by  a  single  word  or  act 
th.'ii  might  reveal  the  jient  human 
hungers  within  him. 

.\nil  then,  one  night,  si.\  months  .'ifler 
the  one  in  which  the  splinteretl  aeroiilane 
had  pitched  out  of  the  sky  upon  his 
i-land,  Richard  awoke,  his  ears  ring- 
ing with  the  echo  of  a  scream.  He  lis- 
tened, groping  for  the  Iti.'ided  Colt  which 
he  kept  alu.'iys  at  his  side.  Thru  lire 
crevice-  of  his  shelter  he  saw  a  light  in 
the  hut  beyond  and  struggling  shailow- 
llung  ihi'u  the  single  window  .'icross  its 
|i,'ith. 

The  two  men  in  the  hut  were  loo  intent

The  Dauntless  Anita 

(Continued  from  page  50) 


Atlantic  City,  where  she  and  her  f^'^^'. 
were  spending  a  few  weeks.  "Ihat  1 
was  suriirised  at  the  invitation  is  cx- 
tiressiiifj  it  niilfUv,"  she  said,  •'but  I  per- 
suaded daddy  to  let  me  come  to  _New 
York  to  sec  what  it  was  alt  about. 

She  arrived  late  one  afternoon  and  was 
conducted  at  once  to  the  editorial  sanc- 
tum    a    pink-cheeked,    starry-eyed,    ra- 
diantly expectant  vision.    The  editor  was  , 
obviously  interested. 

"You  must  come  out  to  Roslyn  to- 
morrow with  the  other  girls  for  a  test,' 

he  said.  .,        .  ,     .    -. 

"I  shall  be  delighted,  ,said-  .\mta. 
•iUit  i  must  go  back  to  .Atlantic  City 
loniglit  and  explain  to  daddy  and  get 
s„nie   clothe<.      I    brought   nothing   with 

nie.  '  ,   ,       • 

"But  you  cant  possibly  go  to  .\llaiuic 
Citv  and  'get  back  in  time.  Cars  for 
Kiiilyn  will  leave  the  ofticcs  promptly  at 

III"'-'-"  .         •  ,         ,-  1     .1 

"Oh,  ves.  I  can."  she  said  confidently, 

"See  if  i  dont !" 

Arriving  at  the  offices  next  morning, 
we  found  girls,  girls,  girls.  Girls  blonde 
and  dark."  Girls  merry  and  taciturn, 
(iirls  confident  and  apprehensive  as  to 
what  the  day  might  bring  forth.  .And, 
seated  quietly  in  one  corner,  but  with  a 
personalitv  so  magnetic  that  all  eyes  were 
attracted  to  her,  was  .\nita  P.ooth. 

"How  did  you  get  here?"  we  wanted  to 
know. 

"1  flew."  slic  said  calmly. 
"You  li'liat.'" 

"I  flew  over  in  an  aeroplane.  It  was 
the  only  wav  there  was  to  come  and  get 
here  in  time— and  1  just  had  to  come. 
So.  1-.ist  night  when  I  got  back  to  .\tlantic 
City.  I  made  arrangements  and — I  flew 
back  this  mornilig.  It  didn't  take  long." 
.\nd  that's  .\nita  I'.ooth— as  we  met  her 
—as  we  have  found  her  always— prac- 
tical, self-reliant,  splendid  in  licr  voung 
and  unvaiuiuishcd  ambitions. 

,\t  Mr.  I'li-ewster's  estate  at  Roslyn. 
Long  Island,  that  day,  .\nita  P.ooth  was 
in  high  favor  with  the  contestants,  the 
news]iaiier  men.  the  celelirities  gathered 
there  for  the  momentous  occasion.  She 
was  friendly,  confident,  alert,  nothing  es- 
caped her.'  She  knew  nothing  of  the 
mysteries  of  inake-n|i  but  was  anxious  to 
le.arn.  She  posed  before  the  cameni. 
alone  and  in  groniis  of  girls.  She  tcle- 
plioned  her  father  at  .\tlantic  Citv  for 
permission  to  stay  over  another  day. 
She  stayed.  She  did  her  individual  bit 
and  she' went  back  to  daddy. 

Many  weeks  jiassed.  and  one  d.iv  ihere 
breezed  into  our  oflices  .\nita  I'.ooth. 
chic,  smilin.g.  altogether  captivating.  She 
liad  come  to  say  "How  do  you  do  imd 
iliank  vou."  \Vhen  it  \\;is  olficially  an- 
nounced to  her  that  she  had  been  chosen 
one  of  the  winner>  of  tlie  contest,  slie 
cried.  Xot  because  she  w.i-  one  of  the 
uinners — of  Citiiisc  not  Iml  because  she 
uas  glad  and  happy  and.  moM  of  all. 
surpri-ed. 

.\n(l  then  the  powers  that  be  told  her 
lli.it    in   accordance   with   the   plan-   :ind 


j.romises  of  the  Brewster  I'ubhcations 
a  position  would  be  secured  for  her. 
It  might  take  some  titSe- if  iirobably 
would.  But  she  was  not  to  worry.  A 
"job,"  and  a  good  one,  would  be  hers  in 

time.  ,     r  ,      r 

"That's  perfectly  wonderful  ot   you. 
said  Anita,"  and  1  cant  »cll  you  how  much 
i  apin-eciate  it— hut  I  came  back  to  New 
York  two  weeks  after  the  contest  closed 
and  got  myself  a  job.     In   fact,  I  have 
already   finished   one   picture   with   ^elz- 
nick   and   ,am    soon    to   begin    another! 
\nd  she  had.  and  she  ditl^and  then  she 
did   two   more.    lilaying   oi)posite    Ralph 
Ince  in  "The  Law  Bringers"  and  "  1  he 
Isle  of  Pines."     She  also  uA  a  picture 
with     h'.laine     Hammerstein— a     rather 
vampish  part  which  she  didn't  like  a  bit. 
she  says,  and  now  we  hear  that  she  is 
lilaying  a  stage  engagement  with  a  stock 
company  for  "experience  and  disciiihne. 
"^'ou'  see,"    she    confided    to    me    re- 
cently, "daddy  is  quite  willing  now  that 
I  take  a  chance  at  doing  uhat  I  want  to 
do     He  knows  my  heart  is  set  on  making 
a  success  on  the  stage  and  screen,  and  I 
think  he  really  likes  my  pluck.     Ht;  en- 
joys going  about   with   me  and   will   be 
wi'th   me  a   great   deal.      He  likes   New 
York,    especially    in    the    oj.era    season. 
That's  where   I   get  my  love  for  music. 
Opera  is  my  favorite  pastime,  you  know. 
Last    winter,    when    I  •  was    working    so 
hard  at  the  studio,  making  those  terrible 
trips  to  Fort  I.ee  in  the  storm  and  sleet, 
T   would  hurry  home  and  dress  tor  the 
opera  instead  of  going  to  ned  as  I  should 
have  done.      But  daddy  says  that   good 
music  is  'rest  for  the  liody  aw)  food  tor 
the  soul!'  and  he  is  right.     Isn't  it  funny 
how  things  come  about  1    T.  .\tiita  Booth, 
country    born    and    bred,    here    m    New 
York  and  actually  acting- or  trying  lo- 
in pictures!" 

"  \nd  do  yon  think  the  I-ame  .and  I'or- 
tune  Contest  really  started  you  upon  your 
career-"  .        .    ,  . 

"Well  it  may  have  hurried  it  up  some- 
what--but  sooner  or  later  1  should  have 
started."  said  the  dauntless  .\nita.

CLASSIC 

Beatrice  from  Paree 

(Conlinued  frcin  page  33) 

the  quick,  decisive  movements  character- 
istic of  her. 

"Anyway.  I  jiicked  up  some  little 
F.nglish,  and  thoufjht  of  (lictures.  I  had 
exactly  one  hundred  dollars,  and  I 
thought  until  that  was  gone — I  should 
have  a  worry — so  (Iloria  Svvanson  and  I 
took  a  house — it  cost  eighty-five  dollars  a 
month — can  you  imagine  that  ? — and  I 
got  down  to  three  dollars  hy  the  clock. 

"Ciloria  introduced  me  to  C.  B.  de 
Mille,  hut  he  didn't  like  me — couldn't  see 
me  for  dust" — she  emphasized  with  a 
candor  typically  (iallic  and  a  slang  typi- 
cally .\merican — "hut  1  got  in  tlie  ^Iad- 
laine  Traverse  picture,  'Rose  of  the 
West.'  and  then  Rill  Desmond  engaged 
me  for  'Dangerous  Waters.' 

"Then  I  had  my  first  real  chance  with 
.Sessue  Hayakawa  in 'The  I'leg.gar  I'rince,' 
and  after  that  I  was  featured  in  'The 
.'stranger.'  " 

"And  now?"  I  (|ucried,  as  she  drew 
hrealh. 

Her  tip-tilted  hose  wrinkled  slightly. 

"I  have  a  contract  with  I'athe  for  one- 
reel  comedies."  she  said  hriefly. 

"They  tell  me  it  is  good  experience," 
she  added,  with  a  resigned  shrug  of  a 
slim  shoulder.  "And  no  doubt  that  is  the 
truth  ;  hut  I  waiit  to  cry,  to  make  the 
emotion — to  make  big  name  for  nivself — 
and  then  I  am  push  off  barns  and  hid 
under  tiger-skins — can  you  beat  it  'l" 

I  sympathized,  but  Beatrice's  lightning- 
change  mind  was  already  on  another 
sirliject. 

"When  you  describe  me,"  she  .said  ear- 
nestly, "dont  say  my  e3'es  are  like  deep 
jiools  of  muddy  water  or  that  my  lip.s  are 
like  Cuiiid's  how — just  say  that  when 
(iod  made  curly  hair.  He  left  me  out;  I 
have  to  put  it  up  in  curling  kids  at  night, 
anil  I  feel  like  I  sleep  on  marbles." 

Her  plaint  was  real  enough,  but  there 
was  a  glint  of  laughter  in  her  eyes.  It  is 
impossible  for  her  to  take  anything  se- 
riously— even  "slee()ing  on  marbles." 

As  a  matter  of  fact,  I  hadn't  had  time 
to  consider  whctlier  she  was  beautiful  or 
not.  Her  startling  brown  eyes,  which 
'ire  liy  turns  na'ive  as  a  child's  and  .sar- 
donic as  those  of  a  woman  of  the 
world,  her  flexible  eyebrows,  u  hich  move 
with  every  change  of  expres'sion.  her  lips 
turned  up  slightly  at  the  corners  as  if  she 
were  forever  on  the  verge  f)f  a  laugh — 
perhai>s  at  your  expense — her  whole 
vivid  jiersonality.  combined  with  an 
am.Mzing  frankness  and  a  delightful  sense 
of  hiuuor.  entirely  cajitivate  one  .and  put 
the  (|ucstion  of  mere  beauty  into  the 
mental  background.  Her  I-'.nglish  vo- 
cabulary has  been  acquired  from  a  hun- 
flred  .sources,  not  all  of  them  pedantic. 
She  catches  up  every  slang  jihrase  with 
the  avidity  of  :\  child  and  swears  upon 
occasion  with  utmost  naivete. 

"Xow.   I  am  ready   for  tny  costume," 

she   pronounced,   flashing  a   last   critical 

look  at  iierself  in  the  mirror.     "There  is 

not  nuich  of  it—  I.  am  a  model  in  this  pic-

MOTION   PICTURE 

Little  Miss  Rebellion 

(Continued  from  page  43) 
mechanical  dolls  worked  by  strings  as 
far  as  he  was  concerned.  He  left  the 
theater,  hopeless  but  hungry.  Youth 
may  sufTer,  but  it  inusi  be  fed,  and  at  the 
window  of  the  nearest  white-nled  eating 
place  he  stopped,  staring  with  unbeliev- 
ing eyes.  For  there,  before  the  griddle, 
struggling  with  a  spreading  puddle  of 
pancake  batter,  stood  a  small,  boy-slen- 
der figure  with  masses  of  dark  hair  es- 
caping untidily  from  under  the  cocky 
little  cook's  cap.  . 

Richard  dived  thru  the  revolving  door 
so  tempestuously  that  he  sent  the  stout, 
respectable  citizen  in  the  next  compart- 
ment reeling  in  a  disreputable  manner 
along  the  pavement.  Unheeding  the  ef- 
forts of  a  blonde  beauty  to  lead  him  to  a 
seat,  he  leaped  the  brass  rail  by  tht 
griddle  and  treated  an  enthralled  audi- 
ence of  homegoing  theater  patrons  to  tht 
interesting  spectacle  of  a  young  mar 
taking  the  cook  in  his  arms  while  thi 
1  batter  blackened  merrily,  unturned. 

.•\fter-a  moment,  however,  it  did  occu 
'  to  Richard  that  there  was  something  odi 
and  perhaps  uncalled  for  in  his  attitude 
and  he  released  Maria  Louise.  "Why- 
^^-hat— who— when  ?"  he  babbled.  ">o 
—in  New  York— working  in  a  hashery, 

(."ii-and  Duchess "  . 

"Not  anv  longer,  Richard!  Man 
Louise  smiled  sadly.  Then  the  sadne^ 
vanished.  "Do  vou  know  the  reason  1  a: 
in  New  York,  Richard?  l',ecause— ihi 
day  so  long  ago  you  told  me  it  was  whei 
vou  lived.'' 

Another  total  eehp.^e  of  the  cook  wi 
threatened,  but  an  interruption  m  tl 
shape  of  an  irate  manager  intervene 
"Wha's  all  this!"  he  began  belhgereiitl 
■Comin'  in  here  an'  burnin'  up  niv  gri 
die.     D'you  want  me  to  call  a  cop  r 

Richard   drew  himself  up  splendid 

^o    far    as    is    known,    his    great-gre; 

-reat-grandfalher  was  not  a  king,  but 

butcher  in  Keokuk,  Iowa,  but  he  siio

'  C.raiid  Duchesses  or  waitresses,  are 
i  raptured  when  they  tinti  a  man  who  \

man, -with  a  drooping  and  dispirited  n 
lachc.  slumliering,  an  alarm  clock  se 
midnight  in  one  hand. 

"I'oor  .\rneau  will  insist  on  i:on 
for  me  everv  night."  Maria  Louise 
lilaiiK'd.  .-IS  they  g;ized  down  at  the 


Prime  Minister.  "I  think  the  dear  old 
fellow  feels  it  very  bitterly  because  I 
dont  wear  a  crown  to  work.  He  is  old, 
Richard,  and  he  doesn't  understand  the 
new  world.  Come,  let  us  wake  him  and 
lell  liiin  the  news," 

When  the  ex-I'rimc  Minister  saw  the 
joy  in  his  eN-Ouchess'  face,  he  spran;,'

(Continued  from  page  37) 

(if  becoming  an  actor.  But  the  costumes 
lie  designed  for  "Male  and  Female" 
cau.sed  so  much  admiring  comment  that 
he  has  definitely  decided  to  make  design- 
ing his  profession. 

"I  wanted  to  be  a  designer  at  one 
time,"  said  Miss  Kirkham,  "and  I  think 
I  would  have  made  a  really  big  success 
at  it  .  .  .1  certainly  didn't  have  any 
great  gift  for  the  stage.  Marshall  Stead- 
man  once  told  me  that  I  would  never 
make  an  actress." 

She  feels  that  all  her  dramatic  abil- 
ity has  been  developed  by  work  and  ex- 
perience. She  has  ajipeared  in  over  thirty 
moving  pictures.  ,eleven  of  them  made 
last  year.  In  many  of  these  she  played 
the  "heavy." 

"I've  been  married  to  almost  every 
character  man  on  the  screen,"  she  said, 
"and  I've  been  the  mother  of  many  a 
young  girl  who  was  really  older  than  my- 
self, or.  anyway,  just  one  or  two  years 
younger. 

"I'ut  really.  I've  had  a  very  easy 
time — almost  t(3o  easy  a  timer  There 
used  to  be  nights  when  I  would  actually 
jiray  that  my  parents  would  lose  every- 
thing they  had  so  that  I  would  have  to 
work  for  a  living!  That  sounds  terrible, 
I  know,  and  yet  there  were  times  when  I 
would  refuse  calls  I  really  should  have 
accepted.  Afterwards.  I  would  feel  sorry 
about  it  and  wish  that  I  might  lie  like 
some  of  the  girls  I  knew,  so  poor  that  I 
would  ha\e  to  work  whether  I  wanted  to 
or  not ! 

"I'ut  now  I  can  see  how  my  financial 
iiidei)endence  was  really  a  protection. 
Unlike  the  girl  who  has  to  be  careful  of 
her  iob,  I  didn't  have  to  take  any  insuhs 
from  anybody — I  coyld  always  quit. 
And  in  this,  as  in  practically  every  other 
kind  of  work,  it  is  true  that  nothing  suc- 
ceeds like  success.  The  girl  who  looks 
.as  tho  she  doesn't  need  a  position  is  gen- 
erally the  one  who  gets  it." 

Kathleen  Kirkham  v\as  born  in  Me- 
nominee. Michigan,  in  1893.  .\s  a  little 
girl  she  was  in  stock  for  a  while  at  Lake- 
side. Wisconsin.  In  the  same  company 
were  Walter  Long,  now  at  Lasky's,  and 
Matt  Moore.  She  was  also- with  Dustin 
I-'arnum  in  "The  .Squaw  Man"  and  "The 
Virginian."  Following  a  ])eriod  of  trijin- 
ing  in  two  Los  .\ngeles  dramatic  sch(;ols, 
she  started  free-lancing  around  the 
studios. 

"I  have  never  jilayed  atmosphere,  ex- 
.ictly,"  she  said,  "but  I  have  never  been 
under  contract.  I  worked  for  quite  a 
while  at  Universal  and  getting  on  very 
well,  I  thought,  so  I  offered  to  sign  a 
contract  with  them  for  as  long  a  term  as 
they  liked  at  a  salary  of  $15.00  a  week 
;md  they  turned  me  down!"  This  was 
only  a  little  over  four  years  ago. 

"It  was  'The  l-'yes  of  the  World'  that 
established  me  as  a  'heavy,'  "  she  went 
on,  "and  I  dont  regret  it  in  the  least!  At 
that  time  there  were  only  about  five 
'heavies'  in  Los  Angeles  and  no  end  of 
work.  Often  I  u.sed  to  wish  that  there 
could  be  a  lillle  more  corppetition  .so  thai

life  would  be  more  excitinjj.  And  then 
when  a  new  girl  would  come  up.  I'd  say 
to  myself,  'Kathie,  you'll  have  to  look  out 
now ;  you'll  have  to  work  a  little  harder !' 
and  I  loved  it ! 

"And  then  I  became  a  star,  you  know," 
she  smiled,  "at  Balboa." 

"How  much  did  they  get  you  for?"  I 
asked. 

"Only  two  weeks !  That  was  because 
I  had  made  a  rule  never  to  wait  more 
than  a  week  for  my  salary.  I've  always 
said  that  if  my  salary  wasn't  ready  for 
me  on  a  Saturday  night,  I  wouldn't  go  to 
work  Monday  morning. 

"They  weren't  what  you  would  call 
exceedingly  good  pictures.  I  remember 
one  day  I  took  my  family  to  see  one  of 
them  at  a  nickel  theater  on  West  Pico 
Street.  There  were  six  or  seven  mur- 
ders in  it.  I  played  a  sort  of  vampy 
character  who  had  to  faint  in  just  about 
every  scene. 

"  'There  .she  goes  again !'  the  man  in 
front  of  me  would  say  every  time  I 
fainted.  But  the  funniest  thing  was  my 
entrance !" 

It  seems  that  some  man  in  the  audience 
drawled  in  a  high  voice,  "Gawd,  look 
who's  here." 

"After  all,"  she  remarked,  thought- 
fully, "I  haven't  gone  ahead  as  rapidly 
as  many  of  the  girls  I  know  and  started 
with.  But  then,  speed  is  only  relative  .  .  . 

"That  reminds  me  of  a  story  my 
mother  tells  about  her  first  automobile 
ride.  It  was  in  one  of  the  first  automo- 
biles ever  made  and  my  mother  was 
leaning  back,  enjoying  the  rapid  motion 
and  the  feel  of  the  wind  in  her  face. 
Finally,  overcome  with  curiosity,  she 
leaned  over  and  touched  the  driver. 

■'  'How  fast  do  you  think  we  are 
going?'  she  asked.  And  he  answered  in 
an  awe-struck  voice : 

"  'We're  going  fifteen  if  we're  going  a 
mile!'  " 

Some  of  Miss  Kirkham's  pictures  that 
come  most  readily  to  mind  are  the  three 
she  did  with  Douglas  Fairbanks,  "He 
Comes  Up  Smiling,"  "A  Modem  Muske- 
teer" and  "Arizona."  Others  are  "For 
Husbands  Only,"  "The  Gay  Lord 
Quex,"  "When  Dawn  Came"  and,  latest 
of  all,  Angelica  in  Screen  Classics'  "Par- 
lor, Bedroom  and  Bath,"  the  last  named 
something  new  for  her  in  that  it  is  farce 
comedy.

ture,  and  I  do  a  dance  of  seven  veils — 
with  six  of  them  in  the  wash." 

Sorry  as  I  was  to  miss  the  dance  of 
the  seven-minus-six  veils,  I  had  to  go 
back  to  town.  But,  inon  dieu,  what  a 
difference!  It  wasn't  blue  Monday  at 
all,  I  discovered.  The  gateman  apolo- 
gized for  his  remarks,  the  car  started 
without  a  cough,  and  on  the  way  back  to 
town  I  saw  the  motor  cop,  who  waved 
his  hand  to  me.  Perhaps  it  wasn't  all 
Beatrice's  doings,  but  I'm  not  so  sure. 
Anjrway,  I  reconmiend  her  as  a  cure  for 
the  blues — even  the  Monday  variety.

After  10  Days 

Your  teeth  may  also  glisten 

All  statements  approved  by  high  dental  authorities 


Millions  of  teeth  now  glisten  as  they 
have  not  done  before.  You  see  them 
everywhere. 

A  new  method  of  teeth  cleaning  has, 
in  late  years,  come  into  very  wide  use. 
Thousands  of  dentists  are  urging  it. 
Multitudes  of  people  have  proved  it  and 
adopted  it.  And  every  person  is  now 
offered  a  free  ten-day  test. 

To  combat  the  film 

The  purpose  is  to  combat  the  film 
which  causes  most  tooth  troubles.  Film 
is  that  viscous  coat  you  feel.  It  clings 
to  teeth,  enters  crevices  and  stays.  In 
the  months  between  your  dental  clean- 
ings it  may  do  a  ceaseless  damage. 

It  is  the  film-coat  that  discolors,  not 
the  teeth.  Film  is  the  basis  of  tartar. 
It  holds  food  substance  which  ferments 


and  forms  acid.     It  holds  the  acid  in 
contact  with  the  teeth  to  cause  decay. 

Millions  of  germs  breed  in  it.  They, 
with  tartar,  are  the  chief  cause  of 
pyorrhea. 

Very  few  escape 

Very  few  people  have  escaped  some 
of  these  tooth  troubles,  despite  the 
daily  brushing.  The  ordinary  tooth 
paste  does  not  dissolve  film,  so  the 
tooth  brush  has  left  much  of  it  intact. 

Dental  research  has  for  many  years 
sought  a  way  to  fight  this  film,  and 
the  way  has  now  been  found.  Many 
clinical  tests  have  amply  proved  its 
efficiency.  And  now  leading  dentists 
everywhere  are  urging  its  adoption. 

The  method  is  embodied  in  a  denti- 
frice called  Pepsodent.  And  millions 
of  people  are  now  enjoying  its  benefits. 


Sent  to  any  one  who  asks 


The  Pepsodent  results  are  quick  and 
apparent.  Everyone  who  sees  them 
will  desire  them.  So,  to  spread  the  facts, 
a  10-Day  Tube  is  sent  to  anyone  who 
asks. 

Pepsodent  is  based  on  pepsin,  the 
digestant  of  albumin.  The  film  is 
albuminous  matter.  The  object  of  Pep- 
sodent is  to  dissolve  it,  then  to  day  by 
day  combat  it. 

A  new  discovery  has  made  pepsin 
possible.  Pepsin  must  be  activated,  and 
the  usual  agent  is  an  acid  harmful  to 


The  New-Day  Dentifrice

with  two  other  modern  requisites.  Now

ing method  enables  us  to  constantly 
fight  the  film-coat  in  this  way.

Note  how  clean  the  teeth  feel  after 
using.  Mark  the  absence  of  the  viscous 
film.  See  how  the  teeth  whiten  as  the 
film-coat  disappears. 

Do  this  now,  for  few  things  are  more 
important.  The  results  may  be  life-long 
in  extent.  Cut  out  the  c-  :pon  so  you 
won't  forget.

MOTION    PICTURE 

''Herb"! 

{Continued  from  page  38) 

anolher  brother,  Stanley.  Stanley  mingled 
with  the  English  lads  at  the  conserva- 
toire, he  with  the  French.  Stanley  was 
rather  vague. 

As  a  youngster,  Master  Rawlinson 
showed  none  of  the  signs  of  being  the 
physical  culture  specimen  he  is  now. 
His  languid  condition  so  worried  the 
elders  that,  after  completing  his  elemen- 
tary cour.se  in  French,  tlie  Isles  lacking 
beneficial  climate,  a  farm  in  Canada  was 
designated  for  his  future  habitat.  Ar- 
riving here,  an  adolescent,  alone,  without 
a  mission  other  than  to  grow  into  sturdy 
manhood,  his  wonder  at  the  vastness  that 
was  before  him,  his  awe  at  the  oppor- 
tunities that  awaited,  culminated  only  in 
the  greeting,  "Well,  here  I  am  !  Do  your 
darndest.     I'll  do  mine  !" 

That  he  was  an  actual  farmer  I  do  not 
conclude.  All  I  could  grasp  from  his 
unconnected,  happy,  rapid  phrases, 
(Rawlinson  doesn't  talk  in  stories;  he 
hasn't  time,  especially  about  himself), 
was  the  mention  of  fields  and  sunshine 
and  ecstatic  sensations  of  dogged  fatigue 
when  he  came  to  the  end  of  perfect  days. 
He  couldn't  have  been  a  thorobred  har- 
vester, because  there  were  plays  he'd  go 
to  see  and  circuses  in  which  he  wal- 
lowed. In  truth,  one  circus  absorbed 
such  vital  interest  that  glowing,  growing 
Herb  forsook  the  hay  for  the  sawdust 
and  ran  off  with  another  chap  to  join  the 
troupe. 

That  started  it.  Then  came  the  lure 
of  the  stock  companies.  And  one,  of 
which  he  happened  to  be  very  much  a 
part,  ceased  meandering  for  a  while 
when  it  reached  Los  Angeles,  long 
enough  to  give  a  moving  picture  director 
the  chance  to  see  Rawlinson  and  ask  him 
if  he'd  ever  thought  of  becoming  cine- 
matically  entangled.  Rawlinson  hadn't 
thought,  but  he  had  a  laugh.  The  figures 
financially  confided  by  the  M.  P.  D.,  that 
screen  work  would  involve,  choked  Raw- 
linson's  chuckle  at  its  zenith.  The  com- 
parisons of  the  salaries  of  a  stock  com- 
pany actor  and  a  moving  picture  actor 
weren't  odious,  but  serious.  The  minstrel 
band  next  week  continued  its  tour  with- 
out its  popular  juvenile. 

That  was  quite  a  while  ago.  "Floro- 
dora's"  sextette  can  claim  its  originals, 
and  also  the  Klieg-light  industry.  If 
ever  a  boast  is  to  be  made,  the  director 
who  spied  Rawlinson  need  not  only  label 
him.self  a  pioneer,  but  add  the  laurel  of 
having  vision.  It's  all  right  to  start 
something  and  better  to  finish.  But  what 
is  more  wonderful — it  shows  in  the  ca- 
reers of  overnight  stars — is  to  start  and 
not  to  finish.  Rawlinson  has  come  thru 
with  this  man's  predictions  materialized. 
The  phenomenon  is  that  he  still  is  coming. 

And  no  wonder.  At  this  season's 
Lambs  Gambol,  presented  at  the  Metro- 
politan, the  excitement  of  the  evening 
was  credited  to  him.  Not  once  on  the 
program  did  he  appear,  after  a  lengthy 
absence  from  the  stage,  but  twice — in 
specialty  numbers.  It  is  good  the  first 
was  scheduled  when  it  was,  an  act,  alone,

CLASSIC 

with  a  ukulele,  some  songs  and  snappy 
nionolog.  The  second,  a  dranialet,  de- 
manded of  him  to  box  another  chap,  and 
he  once  more  "did  his  darndest,"  fought 
too  joyously  and  vigorously  for  footlight 
illusion,  and  answered  the  clamor  of  his 
curtain-calls  with  a  felicitous  black  eye. 

That  night  set  him  thinking  and  his 
telephone  ringing.  Managers  called  to 
ask  him  to  talk  over  with  them  a  "great 
part  in  a  new'  play."  And  the  fellows  at 
the  club  would  exclaim,  "Rawlie.  why, 
to  sing  and  dance  and  play  the  uke  the 
wa)'  you  can,  you'd  be  crazy  not  to  go 
into  musical  comedy." 

Pals  in  the  hotel  would  enthuse,  "Raw- 
lie,  why,  to  'emote,'  and  act  and  be  able 
to  use  a  voice  like  yours,  you'd  be  crazy 
not  to  go  back  to  drama." 

He  doesn't  know  what  to  do  now.  At 
present  he's  working  on  J.  Stuart  Black- 
ton's  "The  Soul-Spinners,"  because  he's 
well  aware  of  the  fact  that  hell  knows  no 
fury  like  desires  torn,  and  to  be  ener- 
getically steeped  in  labor  is  to  ease  one's 
puzzled  self.  He's  "sure  of  the  movies. 
Even  has  contracts  pending.  There's 
pecuniary  advantage.  And  he's  faithful 
to  the  screen  public,"  etc.,  etc.  Yet  the 
personal  audience,  the  applause,  the 
triumph  at  the  Metropolitan  "got  him" — 
and  who  can  blame  him,  or  restrain  old 
blood  from  tickling? 

At  any  rate,  not  until  he  has  an  offer 
of  the  right  vehicle  will  he  be  moved 
towards  Longacre.  He  doesn't  want  to 
rush  things  or  to  be  rushed.  His  con- 
viction is  that  everything  will  come  in  its 
right  time  and  place. 

About  Rawlinson  there  are  three  dis- 
tinctions: a  laugh,  a  boyishness,  a  ra- 
diance. Humor,  to  him,  is  as  elusive  as 
a  firefly  to  the  moon.  In  the  same 
pace  that  pursuit  is  laid  for  the  will-o'- 
the-wisp,  he  chases  a  joke  and  goes  in 
quest  of  fun.  The  glory,  then,  to  have 
captured !  "Come  on,"  he  cries,  "let's 
go!"  And  where  does  he  go?  Just  off, 
into  the  merry  roar  of  Rawlinson.  His 
exuberance  is  intoxicating. 

Boyishness,  because  of  his  spontaneity. 
He  doesn't  ■Zi'all  to  like  or  dislike.  And 
he'd  much  rather  "like." 

Radiance,  if  from  nothing  else  than 
health,  and  being  dazzlingly  clean  and 
trying  to  be  happy. 

There  is  nothing  of  the  superfluous 
about  him.  He  is  sincere.  One  is  .sure 
of  his  dependability.  There  is  nothing 
of  the  extreme,  other  than  a  complete- 
ness in  balance.  He  is  normal,  a  red- 
blood.  No  tantrums,  no  temperamen- 
talities,  no  mopes,  no  under-the-weathers 
and  up-in-the-skies  for  which  every  one 
else  is  expected  to  pay.  A  vigorous  law 
unto  himself.     A  radical.

'E 


th( 


H±i  never  saw  tne  gir 
again.One  moment's 
glimpse  ■was  all  he  caught 
— the  swift  impression  of 
a  frightened-looking  girl 
with  staring  eyes  and  a 
white  face  pressed  to  the 
rainy  window  pane. 

The  incident  was  nothing.  But  he  carried 
home  with  him  the  memory  of  her  face.  He 
wondered  what  made  her  look  like  that,  what 
sort  of  a  girl  she  was. 

Slowly  an  explanation  took  shape  in  his 
mind :  details  fell  into  place,  and,  one  rainy 
night  which  reminded   him  of  the  other. 


he  sat  down  and  wrote  "The  Girl  in  the 

First  Floor  Flat." 

JnJ  he  sold  the  story  for  $200. 

It  didn't  matter  that  the  true  explanation  was 

far  different ;  he  had  caught  the  glimpse — the 

hint — he  needed,  and  his  trained  imagination 

had  done  the  rest. 


You,  too,  can  learn  to  write

If  you  have  ever  wondered  about  the  beggar 
to  whom  you  gave  a  dime ;  if  people's  faces  make  yoj 
wish  to  know  the  secrets  that  they  hide— then  you  have 
in  you  aory-telling  poiver.  For  anyonewho  has  this  spark 
of  interest,  the  ability  to  write  is  a  question  of  training  — 
nothing  more.  It  can  be  acquired  just  like  the  ability  to 
add  up  a  column  of  figures.

straight-from-the-shoulder  method  of  presenting  the 
matter.  As  somewhat  of  a  veteran  in  the  short-story 
game,  I  feel  justified  in  giving  my  judgment  that  your 
course  in  short-story  writing  is  excellently  comprehensive 
and  practical."

BUT    YOUR    NOSE? 

N  this  day  and  age  attention  to  your  appearance  is  an  absolute  necessity  if  you 
expect  to  make  the  most  out  of  life.  Not  only  should  you  wish  to  appear  as 
attractive  as  possible  for  your  own  self-satisfaction,  which  is  alone  well  worth 
your  efforts,  but  you  will  find  the  world  in  general  judging  you  greatly,  if  not 
wholly,  by  your  "looks."  therefore  it  pays  to  "look  vour  best"  at  all  times.  PER- 
MIT NO  ONE  TO  SEE  YOU  LOOKING  OTHERWISE:  it  will  injure  your  wel- 
fare! Upon  the  impression  you  constantly  make  rests  the  failure  or  success  of 
your  life.  Which  is  to  be  your  ultimate  destiny?  My  new  nosc-shaper  "Trados" 
(Model  24)  corrects  now  ill-shaped  noses  without  operation  quickly,  safely  and  per-

worn  at  night.

Ann  o'  th'  Vikings 

{Continued  from  paijc  35) 


each    evening   we   spend    two    hours    or 
more  at  the  dinner-tahle. 

Ann  was  named  after  her  grandmoth- 
ers, great-grandmothers  and — hut,  they 
are  traced  back  to  1630  clearly — all  Anns. 
I'urthcr  hack,  she  comes  of  a  Viking 
strain.  That  gives  her  the  courage,  en- 
du.-ance  and  great  love  of  all  out-of-door 
work.  She  rides,  swims,  golfs, 
"tennises"  (as  she  calls  it),  skates,  shoots 
— and  just  a  few  weeks  ago  brought 
down  her  limit  of  wild  ducks  at  Great 
llear  Lake,  California. 

"Next  December,  my  parents  and  I  go 
to  Denmark  for  a  real  old-fashioned 
Christmas — with  plenty  of  skating  and 
home-baking  and  spicy  trees,  and  the 
game  we  shall  shoot,  for  daddy  is  a  great 
sportsman,  too." 

.\nn  first  became  interested  in  pictures 
in  her  native  city,  where  old  Broncho 
Piilly  pictures  were  shown.  She  would 
attend  with  her  schoolmates  on  Wednes- 
davs  and  Saturdays,  when  pupils  have 
half-holidays  over  there.  Often  she 
wished  she  might  act — and  now  her 
friends  are  all  intensely  interested  in  her 
success.  They  go  to  see  Ann's  plays,  and 
can  scarcely  wait  until  she  arrives  in 
Denmark  for  the  Yule  festival. 

"I'm  afraid  some  young  Dane  will 
want  to  marry  you  and  keep  you  over 
there  now  that  you  are  famous,"  I  ven- 
tured. 

"That's  what  daddy  is  afraid  of.  He 
says  they  will  spoil  me.  But  I  say:  'No!' 
I  marrv  only  an  American.  I  love  the 
old  country,  but  not  to  hve  in  any  more — 
niv  parents  feel  the  same  about  that.  But 
I'll  tell  you  my  ambition.  I  want  to 
marry  in  America  and  have  lots  of  chil- 
dren. I  think  all  those  who  were  raised 
in  a  big  family,  want  big  families  of  their 
own,  dont  you?"  I  didn't,  but  that's 
neither  here  nor  there  and  far  be  it  from 
nie  to  spoil  Ann's  idealism. 

Miss  Forrest  has  a  prized  trophy — the 
whip  with  which  she  was  beaten  in 
"Dangerous  Days" — inscribed  by  every 
one  connected  with  the  production.  Mary 
Roberts  Rinehart  cried  at  rehearsals — 
and  some  one  thought  her  displeased  or 
disappointed,  but  she  said  intensely:  "Oh. 
no,  I'm  just  crying  over  that  dear  child's 
acting.  She  is  the  very  embodiment  of 
mv  little  heroine."  Airs.  Rinehart  in- 
scribed a  copy  of  the  book  to  Ann  arrd 
wrote  on  the  whip  :  "In  memory  of  a  very 
great  piece  of  acting  done  by  Miss  For- 
rest." 

Another  inscription  read:  "From  your 
brutal  director."  The  scenario  writer 
penned  the  words ;  "We  always  beat  the 
thing  we  love." 

Miss  Forrest  has  a  unique  collection 
of  film  cut  from  every  production  in 
which  she  has  appeared.  One  of  the 
men  on  the  lot  has  assembled  these  as 
she  gets  them  and  so  now  they  may  be 
run  an\-time  -Ann  wants  to  see  liow  she's 
getting  along.     But  mostly — 

"Yes,  mostly,  I  want  to  keep  them  for 


mv  grandchildren,  and  when  I  am  an  old 
lady  in  lavender  and  real  lace,  I  want  to 
show  the  little  folks  how  their  grand- 
mother looked  in  her  teens,  when  she 
played  with  handsome  men — most  of 
them  long  dead  now!"  Ann  looked  de- 
cidedly romantic.  Perhaps  she  has  cause 
to,  for  no  longer  is  she  to  be  forced  to 
play  ingenues.  She  has  betrayed  so 
versatile  and  adaptable  a  nature,  such 
great  histrionic  development,  that  Ann 
Forrest  henceforth  will  be  cast  as  an 
emotional  lead,  playing  characters  from 
up-to-the-minute  novels.  Gouverneur 
Morris  is  to  write  a  special  story  for  her 
one  of  these  days.  He  takes  a  keen  inter- 
est in  her  work. 

Miss  Forrest  cares  nothing  for  clothes. 
She  buys  handsome  frocks  for  her  pro- 
ductions, but  as  garments,  she  loves  them 
not.  She  is  essentially  feminine,  frilly, 
but  she's  courageous  enough  to  do  any- 
thing that  a  Diana  would  attempt.  She  was 
one  of  the  first  women  to  ascend  in  an 
aeroplane,  having  gone  up  with  Silas 
Christopherson,  a  compatriot  of  hers,  in 
Tacoma,  about  seven  years  ago.  Ann 
drives  a  Stutz  and  has  done  her  75  miles 
an  hour  without  facing  a  judge  or  part- 
ing with  a  fine. 

She  has  played  the  part  of  a  twelve- 
year  old  child  in  "The  Prince  Chap," 
switched  over  to  an  abused  little  German 
girl  in  "Dangerous  Days,"  played  a  lead 
in  "The  Rainbow  Trail,"  with  William 
Farnum,  a  thriller  with  Houdini,  and  is 
well  on  the  way  to  celluloid  heaven  with 
its  meteoric  possibilities  and  special  res- 
en'ations  for  new  stars. 

Ann  speaks  four  languages  fluently, 
has  a  talent  for  writing  and  is  to  study 
voice  culture  as  soon  as  time  permits. 
She's  a  very  melancholy  Dane  when 
reallv  blue — but  that  happens  so  seldom 
that  one's  only  impression  of  Miss  For- 
rest is  that  of  a  wonderfully  magnetic, 
charming  personality  set  in  a  beautiful 
exterior. 

It's  not  a  bit  difficult  to  know  Ann 
Forrest.  .She  is  so  cordial,  well-read,  en- 
tertaining and  lovable  that  if  a  watchful 
wardrobe  woman  were  not  present  on  the 
upstairs  tier  of  dressing-room  row,  one 
would  surely  outstay  the  time  set  by 
Dame  Decorum, 

So  when  the  estimable  matron  strolled 
in  with  a  huge  bouquet  of  yellow  roses, 
laburnums  and  heliotrope,  saying  "Miss 
Forrest,  these  just  came  oiT  a  set.  will 
you  take  them  home?"  and  plunged  into 
a  conversation  about  silver  lace,  beads 
and  charmeuse,  I  knew  it  was  about  time 
for  me  to  stalk  off  like  Hamlet's  ghost. 

But  the  memory  of  a  bewitching  little 
face,  with  eyes  like  an  aurora  borealis 
and  teeth  like  the  snows  of  her  native 
land,  remained  with  me  for  hours  after- 
ward .  .  .  for  with  sweet  graciousness, 
.Ann  Forrest  had  pressed  the  flowers  into 
my  hand,  saying:  "You  will  enjoy  those, 
I  know,  and  I  would  love  you  to  have 
them."

his    office    in    the    Selznick    Fort    Lee 
studios. 

Between  ten  and  one  o'clock  he  goes 
over  the  multitude  of  details  of  his  pro- 
duction, scenario  and  business  depart- 
ments. He  is  here,  there  and  every- 
where; one  moment  conferring  with  a 
director  on  a  stage,  at  another  checking 
up  production  charts  with  a  chief  of  that 
department. 

At  one  o'clock  he  has  lunch  in  his  office. 

Until  six  o'clock  he  handles  further  de-

At  six  o'clock  he  usually  motors  to

to  devote  to  scenario  reading.  He  usually 
goes  to  the  Gedney  Farms  in  Westches- 
ter County  over  the  week-end  and  there 
reads  script  after  script. 

It  is  interesting  to  note  that  Myron 
Selznick  has  more  producing  units  work- 
ing under  his  personal  direction  than  any 
other  man  in  the  whole  film  field.  To- 
day his  activities  keep  four  studios  in 
and  near  New  York  busy:  the  Selznick, 
the  old  Biograph,  the  Peerless  and  the 
Solax  studios.  Until  recently  he  was 
producing  on  the  coast  also.  But  he 
came  to  the  conclusion  that  the  cross- 
country distance  prevented  intelligent 
and  adequate  team  work. 

Myron  Selznick  exhibits  no  particular 
pride  over  his  achievements.  He  is  a  son 
of  his  father,  that's  all.  And  his  father 
is,  as  we  have  just  related,  Lewis  J.  Selz- 
nick, one  of  the  screen  world's  foremost 
sales  organizers. 

"I  heard  photoplays  talked  all  my 
life,"  smiles  Myron  Selznick.  "I  guess 
my  father  has  marketed  some  five  hun- 
dred pictures.  What  was  more  natural 
than  that  I  should  enter  the  game  ?  My 
dad  wanted  me  to  go  to  college  and  I 
did — to  Columbia  for  two  months.  But 
I  couldn't  contain  my  restlessness  any 
longer  and  I  told  my  father  I  wanted  hira 
to  give  me  a  chance. 

"He  smiled — and  I  guess  he  decided  to 
cure  me.  At  least  he  put  me  to  work  the 
following  morning  in  the  film-examining 
room  at  \Vorld  Fihn.  The  work-day 
began  at  seven  a.  m.  and  I  received  five 
dollars  a  week.  It  was  a  strenuous  job, 
for  it  meant  carefully  looking  over  film 
in  a  dark  room,  watching  for  flaws  and 
defects.  At  the  end  of  a  wxek  I  could 
hardly  move  my  fingers,  they  had  been  so 
cut  by  film. 

"I  stuck,"  laughed  Myron.  (Which 
rather  sums  up  his  character.)  "Father 
moved  me  thru  his  purchasing  and  ad- 
vertising departments.  'You'll  learn  the 
whole  game,'  he  grimly  told  me. 

"Then  business  changes  came  about 
and  father  disposed  of  his  interests.  The 
post  of  managing  Norma  Talmadge's 
studio  was  offered  me.  That  instilled  an 
idea.    I  wanted  to  carry  on  the  name  of 


from  page  26) 

Selznick.  I  resolved  to  produce  and  I 
signed  Olive  Thomas.  That's  all,  for  I 
have  been  steadily  adding  stars  ever 
since. 

"Please  make  it  clear  that  I  direct 
Selznick  Pictures.  Dad  hasn't  been  over 
to  our  studios  twice  in  a  year.  True,  I 
frequently  talk  over  things  at  night  with 
him,  as  is  quite  natural,  but  I  manage  my 
own  companies  in  every  sense  of  the 
word. 

"My  methods?"  Myron  Selznick 
paused.  "Nothing  more  or  less  than  to 
make  entertaining  photoplays  and  to 
build  up  and  maintain  the  best  organi- 
zation with  that  end  in  view." 

Here  we  pause  to  note  the  youthful 
atmosphere  of  camaraderie  about  the 
Selznick  studios.  Nearly  every  one — 
from  star  to  carpenter — is  young.  "I  be- 
lieve in  youth,"  says  Myron,  whose 
twenty-second  birthday  comes  next  Oc- 
tober. 

"We're  one  big  family  and  there  is  no 
red  tape  about  our  organization,"  he  went 
on.  "Anyone  can  get  to  see  me  at  any 
time.  That's  why  I  have  my  office  in  my 
studio  rather  than  in  Times  Square. 
We're  all  working  together,  and  I'm  here 
to  be  seen." 

All  of  which  is  true.  For  instance, 
they  have  a  baseball  team  at  the  studio 
and  Myron  plays  short-stop  upon  it. 
There  is  nothing  up-diamond  about  him, 
for  chauffeurs  and  electricians  who  play 
with  him  talk  to  him  forcibly  and  natu- 
rally about  his  playing  without  thinking 
of  him  as  their  employer.  It's  all  part 
of  the  spirit  of  the  Selznick  studios. 

"I've  made  something  like  fifty  pro- 
ductions so  far,"  Myron  Selznick  con- 
cluded. "I  know  their  faults.  But  I'm 
learning  and  I  think  we  are  steadily 
working  ahead.  Anyway,  it's  great 
fun !" 

The  Joyous  Pagan 

(Continued  from  page  21) 

But  Western  pictures  did  not  appeal 
to  her  as  a  permanent  thing.  After  per- 
sistent requests,  she  was  cast  to  play  op- 
posite Frank  Mayo  in  "Burnt  Wings." 
LTniversal  believed  that  they  had  discov- 
ered a  star  and  offered  her  a  five-year 
contract,  with  the  assurance  of  an  imme- 
diate twinkle.  For  various  reasons,  she 
refused.  After  that  came  the  role  of 
the  innocently  sinning  wife  in  the  Metro 
production,  "Parlor,  Bedroom  and  Bath." 

"So  you  see,"  said  Josephine,  "I  have 
done  quite  a  bit,  if  I  am  only  eighteen. 
Korsuhan  is  a  relentless  slave-driver! 
I  suppose  that  is  very  ungrateful." 

Her  eyes  wandered  about  the  room. 

"I  do  wish  Jack  would  come  home," 
she  sighed. 

"Did  your  heathen  god  have  anything 
to  do  with  brin.ging  you  Jack  ?"  I  en- 
quired, somewhat  rashly  perhaps. 

"Oh,  indeed  yes !  When  he  first 
wanted  to  k — to  hold  my  hand,  he  didn't 
feel  sure  whether  he  could  or  not.  so  I 
just  said,  'Korsukan — and  he  did !"

Another  Pickford  Star 

{Continued  from  page  23) 

to  delay  us,  and  every  day  seemed  a 
week  to  me,  for  I  was  afraid  my  trip 
ICast  would  be  spoiled." 

■■How  can  you  ever  leave  your  aero- 
plane even  for  New  York?'  I  asked, 
knowing  that  he  spent  every  spare  luo- 
ment  with  his  new  six-thousand-doUai 
machine. 

-Olive'"  he  replied,  simply,  but  the 
lone  spoke  xolumes,  and  I  remembered 
that  his  wife,  Olive  Thomas,  was  still 
making  her  pictures  ,n  the  fast  and  he 
was  planning  a  visit  with  her  m  New 

°'Tack  is  so  reckless,"  sighed  Mrs 
Pickford,  smiling  fondly  at  the  boy.  It 
frightens  me  to  think  of  him  flying  He 
comes  over  the  studio  and  seems  fairly 
to  touch  the  telegraph  poles. 

■'Nonsense,  mother;  I'm  miles  above 
them'"  He  spoke  soothingly,  while  he 
winked  mischievously  at  his  sister. 

"I  believe  I  have  always  been  battling 
his  speed  craze,"  went  on  Mrs.  Pickford. 
-Sure,  mother,  for  it  began  a  long 
time  ago.  When  I  first  went  into  pic- 
tures I  begged  for  a  motor-cycle,  but  you 
told  me  you  would  never  buy  me  one. 
You  were  so  emphatic  I  knew  you  never 
would.  I  determined  to  earn  the  money 
and  buy  it  myself,  but,  by  that  time,  1 
was  all  over  my  motor-cycle  notion  and 
bought  a  Stutz  roadster.  Only  had  it  a 
couple  of  weeks  when  I  had  a  terrible 
accident.  We  spun  around  four  times 
then  landed  in  a  heap,  and,  tho  I  craw  ed 
out  unhurt,  the  car  was  a  total  wreck. 

There  have  been  many  cars  since 
then,  each  of  a  greater  speed  but  he 
longed  for  even  a  swifter  machine  and 
wa?  among  the  first  of  the  film  colony 
to  become  interested  in  aeroplanes,  now 
possessing  one  of  his  very  own. 

"If  you  hadn't  followed  your  sister 
into  pictures,  what  do  you  suppose  you 
would  have  been?"  I  asked,  watching 
him  smooth  his  hair  with  both  hands,  one 
of  his  characteristic  movements.  i 

••Dont  know,"  he  replied  cheerfully; 
"run  a  street-car,  I  guess." 

"No  you  would  probably  have  bet;n  a 
baseball  player,"  chimed  in  Mary.  "He 
passed  thru  a  serious  attack  of  baseball 
fever."  ,  _ 

"Maybe,"  assented  Jack,  easily.  I 
think  the  first  ambition  I  ever  had  was 
when  we  were  plaving  with  Chauncey 
Olcott.  I  wanted  to  be  a  stage  carpen- 
ter They  gave  me  fifty  cents  a  week 
for  helping  set  the  stage,  and  I  remember 
the  big  hammer  I  carried  around  m  the 
hip  pocket  of  my  small  trousers." 

The  Pickford  family  have  had  many 
interesting  experiences,  and  we  sat  there 
for  a  couple  of  hours,  while  Jack  and 
Mary  recounted  their  childhood  pranks. 
As  I  was  leaving,  Jack  caught  my 
hand,  whispering,  anxiously  "You  wont 
put  in  all  that  stuff,  will  you  ?  He  looked 
^o  like  a  little  boy  as  he  stood  in  the 
open  door,  and  there  was  a  hint  ot 
Mary's  wistful  appeal  in  his  dark  eyes, 
1  so  I  promised.

letter — because  you're  almost  sure  what  the  rest  of  it  is,  and 
you  wouldn't  want  everybody  to  read  your  letters,  or  pry  into  the 
intimate  little  memories  and  vague  longings  that  are  brought  to  your 
mind  by  this  "picture." 

Queer  what  music,  or  the  mere  thoughts  of  music,  will  do  to  a  person's 
mind— yet  not  so  queer  after  all.      Music  is  so  intimately  personal,  no 

wonder  we  automatically  associate  it  with  the  things  that  are  nearest  and  dearest. 

But  think  of  the  barren  places  in  the  lives  of  those  who  do  not  know  the  joy  of 
making  music!  Yet  even  these  are  just  as  human  as  we — they  get  the  same  thrill 
from  i\Iarjorie's  letter  and  the  picture — but  it's  a  thrill  with

The  Menace  of  the  Movies 

{Continued  from  page  19) 


"The  effect  of  this  huge  growing  film 
octopus  is  already  evident.  On  every 
side  you  see  the  big  forces — the  leading 
directors  and  stars — withdrawing  to  'go 
it  alone.'  Suppose  that  the  coming  com- 
bination could  find  it  possible  to  substan- 
tially eliminate  all  outside  production. 
How  much  of  art  would  be  left  ?  Where 
would  the  photoplay  be  without  its  Grif- 
fiths, its  Inces,  its  Neilans  and  its  Pick- 
fords  ? 

"The  result  of  such  a  colossus  would 
be  a  similarity  and  sameness  of  product. 
That  would  be  inevitable,  since  the  pro- 
ductions would  be  decided  upon  by  one 
body  of  men.  Thus  you  would  see  the 
creation  of  two  or  three  kinds  of  screen 
production  and  the  loss  of  all  artistic 
individuality. 

"If  such  a  film  organization  could  grip 
the  country,  you  would  quickly  see  a 
falling  off  in  quality.  It  is  inevitable  and 
human,  if  the  theaters  could  be  shackled 
and  screen  production  dictated  to  audi- 
ences, that  the  whole  thing  would  be 
brought  down  to  the  point  of  paying  the 
biggest  dividend.  Do  not  forget  how  the 
theatrical  syndicate  gained  such  a  grip 
and  then  demanded  so  high  a  percentage 
from  stage  producers  and  from  theaters 
that  artistic  productions  were  well-nigh 
impossible. 

"I  know  of  what  I  speak.  In  my  posi- 
tion with  Famous  Players-Lasky,  I 
worked  hand  in  hand  for  the  very  ideas 
which  I  am  now  fighting.  Indeed,  I 
created  some  of  them.  But  I  did  not 
realize  the  menace  of  Wall  Street. 

"I  was,  for  instance,  one  of  those  to 
first  instil  the  idea  of  producing  stage 
plays,  thereby  controlling  ultimate  screen 
rights  and  getting  all  the  profits  from  the 
outset.  I  know  the  attacks  this  scheme 
has  attracted.  But  I  see  no  menace  in 
it — even  from  my  present  view-point. 
It  is  charged  that  it  will  bring  a  lowering 
of  the  stage's  artistic  level  and  that  it 
will  mold  our  stage  drama  into  melo- 
drama, since  motion  picture  producers 
will  present  only  plays  of  action,  these 
being  fitted  for  later  film  purposes. 

"Let  me  answer  this  specifically.  I 
cannot  see  where  the  stage — man  for 
man — is  higher  artistically  than  the 
screen.  In  answer  to  the  direct  charge,  I 
say  that  film-footlight  producers  will 
bring  a  vitality  to  the  stage  by  injecting 
action,  while,  at  the  same  time,  the  screen 
will  gain  along  the  lines  of  the  thought 
drama.  I  believe  that  both  will  be 
gainers. 

"But  to  return  to  the  menace,  as  I  see 
it.  The  time  is  ripe  for  an  independent 
movement  and  already  it  is  appearing. 
The  First  National  Exhibitors'  Circuit  is 
t'.. :  one  big  organization  as  yet.  This  is 
a  combination  of  exhibitors. 

"The  independent  movement  must 
come  from  the  exhibitor.  At  present  I 
find  that  certain  far-sighted  exhibitors 
and  exhibitor  organizations  realize  this 
in  a  measure.  Unfortunately,  the  word 
independence  to  some  people  seems  to 
mean  a  lack  of  organization.     When  we 


cast  off  from  England,  our  colonies  did 
not  remain  disorganized.  They  united 
for  the  common  cause.  Exhibitors  must 
do  likewise,  if  they  wish  to  gain  their 
independence — the  right  to  have  a  say  in 
those  things  in  which  they  are  concerned. 

"I  know  the  attacks  that  are  made 
upon  the  exhibitor.  It  is  customary  to 
call  him  the  weak  link  in  the  photoplay 
chain.  But  it  isn't  true  in  1920.  I  have 
been  studying  the  exhibitor  at  first-hand 
and  I  have  observed  his  tremendous  im- 
provement. The  old-type  exhibitor  is 
disappearing.  Nowhere  is  this  clearer 
than  in  the  Middle  West. 

"The  independent  movement  must 
come  from  the  exhibitor.  That  is  clear. 
The  exhibitor  must  guarantee  theaters  to 
the  producer,  so  that  the  producer,  in 
turn,  can  be  sure  of  a  market  and  can 
guarantee  artists  and  authors  theaters 
in  which  they  can  secure  a  dignified  rep- 
resentation. Today  an  independent  pro- 
ducer could  not  sign  a  reputable  star 
without  being  able  to  guarantee  him  a 
reputable  channel  of  release. 

"Thus  the  independent  movement  must 
start  from  the  source  of  the  photoplay. 
IVitJi  exhibitors  organised,  the  photoplay 
could  in  evcrv  sense  of  the  word  be  inde- 
pendent of  Wall  Street.  And  in  no  other 
way  can  the  photoplay  advance." 


SORROW-BIRD 
By  Betty  Earle 

Late  I  heard  the  nipht-wind  sighing,  sighltig. 
Slipping  thru  the  dim  leaves,  dripping  white 
with  dew; 
Pitiful  voti  listened ;  turned  then,  crying. 
And  all  because  a  hurt  bird  struck  its  harp 
for  you. 

And  all  because  a  wild  bird  wanting,  wanting — 
Lonely  for  the  lost  mate  only  robins  knew. 

Thru  the  halls  of  anguish  haunting,  haunting. 
Opened  up  its  sorrow-heart  and  sobbed  for 
you. 

Blindly  then  you  clutched  me,  hoping,  hoping— 
Leaping  into  glad  arms,  weeping,  too; 

Dimly   as   the   night-wind   lips   reached,   grop- 
ing— 
Wistfully  the  bird  went  but  we  never  knew. 


IDEALS 
By  Vara  MacBeth  Jones 

He  untwined  the  star-glow  strands  from  the 

fabric  of  a  dream 
Where  were  woven  Life's  ideals,  as  to  eyes  of 

Youth  they  seem. 
And     rewove     its     shiinmering    glory    wliere 

silversheet  lights  gleam. 

And  it   mirrored  Hearts  redeemed   from   the 

stain  of  worldly  dross. 
And  the  bubble  myth  of  Gain  that  is  blown 

at  Honor's  loss. 
And   Achievement's   height    that's    reached   in 

the  shadow  of  a  cross. 

But  the  pen  was  vitriol  dipped  that  the  critic 

used  to  flay, 
And   the  mocking  crowds  but  came  to  see  a 

visionary's  play ; 
Yet  among  the  throng  that  came  to  scoff  three 

remained  to  pray. 

For  the  soul  of  a  Scarlet  Woman  writhed  at 

the  birth  of  shame. 
And  a  Renegade  of  Honor  felt  the  acid-sear 

of  blame: 
While  a  Hopeless  One  glimpsed  afar  the  glow 

of  hope's  bright  flame.

Real  comedy  is  the

'  all  forms  of  motion  pictiires  to  write,  enact  and  direct. 

Is  it  not  remarkable,  then,  that  many  dramatic  critics  and  theatre  men  state  In  pos- 
itive terms  that  theJHarold  Lloyd  comedies  give  more  entertainment  and  are  more 
popular  with  audiences  than  the  "feature"  pictures  which  are  supposed  to  be  the 
backbone  of  the  average  motion  picture  show? 

"Lloyd  is  a  bi4  league  comedian,  his  company  ss  bi^  league,  and  whoever  does  the  directing 
is  big  league,"  says  a  magazine  critic  of  these  wonderful  comedies. 

"  Lloyd  is  the  chief  bulwark  of  the  Strand  (New  York)  program  this  week  in  'An  Eastern 
Westerner,'  a  two-reel  comedy,"  says  Variety,  a  leading  theatrical  magazine,  "In  this 
laughing  delight. not  a  foot  is  w^asted  from  start  to  finish.  One  laugh  chases  another  con- 
stantly up  the  throat.  In  short  this  issue  is  a  corker  and  should  continue  Mr.  Lloyd  on 
the  pleasant  trail  of  ten  thousand  weeks,  which  is  understood  to  be  his  speed.  "  . 

"Astonishingly  fresh  and  diverting." — N.  Y.  Tribune.  _  "Lloyd  made  a  hit." — N.  Y.  Globe. 
"The  audience  roared.  'Haunted  Spooks'  is  the  funniest  comedy  of  the  season," — /V.  Y.  Sun. 
"The  man  who  discovered  Harold  Lloyd  deserves  a  vote  of  thanks." — Minneapolis  Tribune. 

What  SO  many  have  found  to  be  astonishingly  clever  and  diverting  is  worthy  of  special  effort  on 
your  part  to  see;  ask  the  manager  of  your  theatre  the  days  on  which  he  shows  a  Harold  Lloydl

A  thousand 

separate  joys 

Each  serving  dish  of  Puffed  Grains  contains  a  thousand  separate  joys. 

Each  grain  is  a  bubble,  thin  and  flimsy,  puffed  to  eight  times  normal  size. 

A  hundred  million  steam  explosions  have  occurred  in  each,  blasting 
every  food  cell. 

The  airy  globules  are  crisp  and  toasted.  They  taste  like  nut-meats 
puffed.  The  morsels  seem  like  fairy  foods,  almost  too  good  to  eat. 

Yet  these  are  the  utmost  in  scientific  foods.  Two  are  whole  grains, 
with  every  food  cell  fitted  to  digest.  They  are  the  foods  that  children  like 
best,  and  the  best  foods  they  can  get. 

Serve  with  cream  and  sugar.  Mix  with  your  berries.  Float  in  every 
bowl  of  milk.  Crisp  and  douse  with  melted  butter  for  hungry  children  in 
the  afternoon. 

They  are  nothing  but  grain  foods.  The  nutty  flavor  comes  from  toast- 
ing. The  flimsy  texture  comes  from  steam  explosions.  The  delights  are 
all  due  to  scientific  methods. 

Serve  morning,  noon  and  night  in  summer,  between  meals  and  at 
bedtime.  The  more  children  eat  the  better.  What  other  food  compares 
with  whole  grains  puffed?

"Bessie,  Love" 

(Continued  from  page  17) 

'It  was  fully  a  minute  before  I  realized 
that  he  had  never  seen  me  before  in  his 
life.'" 

It  will  he  noticed  that  Bessie  Love 
talks  more  Hke  a  "fan"  than  an  actress 
and  so  she  impresses  one.  She  is  an 
actress,  of  course,  and  a  very  clever  ac- 
tress, but  she  is  essentially  a  product  of 
the  screen.  She  has  never  been  on  the 
stage  nor  very  closely  connected  with 
the  stage  in  her  life.  She  could,  I  think, 
be  described  as  Griffithian,  tho  in  her 
case  the  Griffith  mannerisms  are  softened 
and  changed  by  her  own  personality. 

"I  just  wanted  to  go  on  the  screen 
thru  having  seen  so  many  moving  pic- 
tures in  company  with  my  father,"  (a 
Los  Angeles  physician),  she  said.  "My 
mother  wasn't  at  all  interested  in  pic- 
tures at  that  time ;  the  photography  was 
bad  and  the  flickering  figures  hurt  her 
eyes.  But  they  interested  my  father  as 
they  did  me,  and  we  went  often. 

"I  hadn't  the  least  idea  how  to  go 
about  getting  on  the  screen,  and  it  didn't 
occur  to  me  that  there  should  be  any  par- 
ticular difliculty.  I  decided  to  go  and 
ask  Mr.  Griffith  for  work.  It  didn't 
occur  to  me  that  there  would  be  anything 
unusual  in  my  asking  for  Mr.  Griffith 
personally.  I  thought  that  it  was  the 
thing  to  do. 

"Mr.  Woods  told  me  a  funny  thing 
just  a  little  while  ago.  He  said  that  Mr. 
Griffith  had  started  to  leave  the  studio, 
but  stopped  when  he  saw  me  talking  to 
the  gateman.  He  knew  by  my  manner 
that  I  wanted  work.  He  gave  orders 
that  if  I  asked  for  him,  I  was  to  be  ad- 
mitted and  then  went  back  to  his  office 
and  waited  for  me !" 

So  the  little  "fan"  was  featured  in  her 
first  picture  as  a  "Griffith  find" ;  played 
opposite  Bill  Hart  in  her  second  picture, 
"The  Aryan" ;  was  with  Douglas  Fair- 
banks in  her  next  two,  "The  Good-Bad 
Man"  and  "Reggie  Mixes  In."  and  in  her 
fifth  picture,  "Sister  of  Six,"  became  a 
star. 

Now  her  own  name  of  Juanita  Horton 
is  almost  forgotten,  even  by  those  who 
gave  it  to  her.  If  you  were  to  meet  Mrs. 
Horton,  she  would  probably  tell  you  that 
she  is  "Bessie  Love's"  mother.  Bessie 
Love  is  as  much  Bessie  Love  at  home  as 
she  is  on  the  screen. 

She  has  no  brothers  nor  sisters,  is  not 
married,  and  lives  with  her  father  and 
mother  in  a  pretty  bungalow  in  Laurel 
Canyon. 

Of  all  her  achievements.  I  think  Bessie 
Love  is  most  proud  of  having  succeeded 
in  graduating  from  the  Los  x\ngeles  high 
school  last  year. 

"I  left  school  when  I  started  to  work 
with  Mr.  Griffith,"  she  said,  ."but  I 
wanted  to  finish  so  dreadfully,  that  with 
all  the  work  I  had  to  do,  I  didn't  neglect 
a  study.  And  so,  last  year,  I  was  able  to 
show  that  I  had  completed  my  entire 
course  and,  after  passing  my  examina- 
tions, graduated  with  the  class." 

And  there  you  have  Bessie  Love,  the 
girl  Griffith  waited  for.

MOTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC 


The  Photoplay  of  the  Proletariat 

(Continued  from  page  18) 
workers    laughed    at    his      violin  returned  with  an  artificial  hand  in 


His  fellow 
oddity  and  made  sport  of  his  ambitions. 
But  Borzage  was  determined  and  he 
saved  every  cent  with  this  end  in  view. 
An  advertisement  of  a  dramatic  school 
in  Salt  Lake  City  lured  him  to  its  doors 
and,  when  the  man  who  conducted  it  told 
him  that  he  was  about  to  take  all  his 
pupils  on  tour,  Borzage  fell  into  the  trap 
with  enthusiasm. 

"My  mother  wept,  as  all  mothers  do," 
said  Borzage,  reminiscently,  "and  my 
father  was  quite  furious — but  I  went. 
At  that  dad  came  to  the  train  and,  as  I 
boarded  it,  slipped  a  roll  of  money — 
fifty  dollars — into  my  hand.  When  you 
stop  to  consider  what  fifty  dollars  meant 
to  him,  you  can  realize  his  sacrifice  for 
something  he   could  not  understand. 

"Of  course,  the  company  went  broke, 
altho  the  manager  borrowed  my  fifty.  I 
had  just  enough  money  to  get  home  and, 
without  letting  my  father  know,  I  slipped 
into  my  old  bed. 

"Early  the  next  morning  father 
pounded  upon  my  door.  I  pretended  to 
be  asleep,  but  dad  rattled  my  bed.  'I 
just  got  home,'  said  I,  sitting  up  and 
rubbing  my  eyes.  'Yeh,'  growled  father. 
'Get  up !  It's  seven  o'clock — time  to  go 
to  work!'  So  I  went  back  to  mixing 
mortar. 

"How  the  men  did  kid  me  I  No  gentle 
kidding,  either.  But  I  saved  up  again 
and  tried  another  company.  This  time 
we  stranded  in  Montana.  I  was  broke 
and  nearly  starved  to  death.  Finally  a 
man  gave  me  a  job  on  a  railroad  grading 
gang  in  the  hills,  and  that  put  me  upon 
my  feet.  I  went  back  to  the  stage  and 
worked  in  endless  stock  companies,  play- 
ing character  parts — all  sorts  of  roles, 
big  and  small.  Eventually  I  landed  in 
Los  Angeles. 

"I  went  to  Thomas  Ince — and,  right 
here,  I  want  to  say  that  I  owe  everything 
to  him.  He  looked  at  me  and  said,  'I'll  put 
you  on  salary  at  twenty-five  a  week  until 
i  can  find  a  leading  man's  part  for  you.' 
'But  I'm  not  a  leading  man,'  I  answered ; 
'I  play  character  roles."  'All  wrong,'  said 
Ince.  'You'll  be  a  lead  from  now  on.' 
And  he  made  good,  giving  me  my  first 
film  role  in  'The  Wrath  of  the  Gods' 
with  Sessue  Hayakawa  and  Tsuru  Aoki. 

"I  went  on  and  on  from  that  point.  I 
gained  a  lot  of  screen  experience  in  act- 
ing. I  went  to  directing,  combining  act- 
ing and  directing,  and  went  to  the  Ameri- 
can studios.  Then  back  with  Ince  at 
Triangle  and  next  to  doing  specials  for 
state  righting.  I  tried  to  keep  on  acting 
and  directing,  but  I  finally  realized  that  I 
couldn't  do  both — and  do  them  well.  So 
I  decided  that  directing  meant  more  to 
me.  'Humoresque'  gave  me  my  oppor- 
tunity, that's  all." 

Some  confusion  exists  regarding  "Hu- 
moresque." The  story  of  the  New  York 
Ghetto,  as  written  by  Edna  Ferber,  ended 
with  the  departure  of  the  young  musician 
for  France.  Borzage  wrote  the  screen 
storv  as  it  stands,  altho  it  originally  had 
a  different  ending.     The  genius  of   the 


the  original  celluloid  version  and  the  tale 
worked  to  an  unusual  climax.  But  the 
celluloid  powers  that  be  changed  the 
story  to  its  present  "happy"  denouement. 

Borzage's  future  will  be  a  matter  of 
distinct  interest  to  the  world  of  the 
cinema.  "I  intend  to  do  stories  of  the 
people,"  he  says.  "I  know  the  folk  who 
go  to  motion  pictures  are  interested  most 
of  all  in  the  problems,  the  joys  and  the 
sorrows  of  their  own  daily  life,  and  I 
hope  to  bring  to  the  films  a  reflection  of 
all  this. 

"Of  one  thing  I  am  sure — the  photo- 
play has  been  too  far  from  the  realities 
of  life.  Screen  people  haven't  breathed 
with  life.  Their  film  experiences  have 
been  false  and  artificial  adventures.  I 
want  to  go  beneath  the  surface  of  things. 
I  think  the  photoplay  of  tomorrow  lies  in 
that  direction." 

Borzage  speaks  with  sincerity.  There 
is  nothing  of  the  artificial  about  him. 
The  rugged  directness  which  carried  him 
from  the  Utah  mines  to  success  has  not 
been  lost  in  transit.  He  knows  life  and, 
unless  something  unforeseen  shifts  him 
from  his  course,  he  is  going  to  bring  it 
to  the  screen. 

^Ve  asked  Borzage  about  his  dad. 
"What  does  he  think  of  it  all?"  we 
queried. 

The  director  laughed.  "I  guess  it 
puzzles  him.  But  he  is  happy,  for  I  have 
the  whole  family  comfortably  fixed  out  in 
California.  I  guess  he  simply  sits — and 
wonders." 

"My  Irish  Molly-0" 

{Continued  from  page  60) 
after  all.  A  psychologist  might  say  that 
in  all  probability  the  color  combination 
of  French  grey  and  flame  expresses  her 
nature ;  that  she  would  incline  to  ex- 
tremes of  seriousness  and  gaiety.  How- 
ever that  may  be,  she  has  plenty  of  Irish 
pluck  and  Irish  luck  to  carry  her  thru  to 
the  "top  o'  the  world." 

Molly  Malone  was  born  in  Denver, 
Colorado,  in  1897. 

"But  I  dont  remember  much  about 
Denver,"  she  said.  The  most  vivid  rec- 
ollection of  her  childhood  is  of  a  visit 
she  and  her  mother  made  to  her  uncle, 
who  is  chief  metallurgist  of  the  Van  Ryn 
gold  mine  in  South  Africa.  This  was 
when  she  was  about  eleven  years  old. 
.She  was  there  for  a  year,  and  then  her 
mother  brought  her  to  Los  Angeles  and 
she  was  given  her  first  protracted  taste 
of  the  discipline  of  school.  Naturally, 
she  didn't  like  it. 

"I  hated  arithmetic  and  I  was  always 
wanting  to  do  something  differently  from 
the  way  in  which  I  was  told  to  do  it." 
So  it  was  that  as  a  student  at  Polytechnic 
High  School  she  took  six  art  periods  and 
made  up  her  mind  to  become  an  actress. 

One    day   she   was   at    the   Vitagraph 

studio,  talking  with  another  girl  who,  like 

herself,  was  applying  for  work,  when  a 

man  high  in  authority  saw  her  and  or-

"My  Irish  Moliy-0" 

{Continued  from  page  88) 

dered  that  a  test  be  made  of  her.  Her 
loveliness  photographed  perfectly  and 
she  was  given  a  leading  part  in  a  picture, 
with  a  promise  of  a  big  contract  if  she 
should  make  good. 

(Yes,  I  know  you  have  read  that  para- 
graph before.  As  a  rule,  it  would  go  on 
to  say  that  she  was  a  success  from  her 
first  moment  before  the  camera.)  But 
Molly  Malone  was  not  a  success.  On  the 
contrary,  she  did  what  ninety-nine  out  of 
a  hundred  girls  would  do  when  suddenly 
placed  in  a  leading  part  without  previous 
training.  She  very  humanly  and  natu- 
rally failed.  (As  a  rule,  the  stories  of 
girls  who  become  famous  "overnight" 
are  only  half  truths.  If  you  look  into 
the  facts  deeply  enough,  you  will  gener- 
ally find  that  months — perhaps  years — of 
training  have  gone  into  the  making  of 
that  "sudden"  fame.) 

".\fter  that,"  said  Molly  Malone,  "I 
went  back  to  school  again." 

We  sat  on  a  chaise  longue  with  our 
feet  tucked  under  us  and  a  box  of  sweets 
conveniently  within  reach. 

"My  next  attempt  to  go  on  the  screen," 
she  said,  taking  another  piece  of  candy, 
"was  at  the  very  bottom  of  the  ladder.  I 
went  to  Lasky's  and  just  stayed  around 
there,  doing  nothing  in  particular  for 
eight  months.  I  wasn't  given  a  part 
there  at  all.  Then  I  played  leading  parts 
at  Universal  City."  (Among  others,  for 
George  Cochrane  and  Harry  Carey.) 

"I  love  drama  and  I  want  to  go  back 
to  it  some  time.  But,  I  realize  how 
much  the  comedy  training  means.  It 
gives  you  lightness,  dont  you  think  ?" 
She  was  quite  serious.  I,  for  one,  expect 
to  see  her  follow  in  the  path  of  many 
another  comedy  favorite  as,  for  instance, 
Betty  Compson,  Alice  Lake  and  Gloria 
•Swanson. 

After  leaving  Universal,  she  played 
leading  parts  for  the  late  "Smiling  Billy" 
Parsons.  Like  Alice  Lake,  she  was  lead- 
ing woman  for  Roscoe  Arbuckle — "The 
Hayseed"  and  "The  Garage"  are  two  of 
the  pictures  that  come  most  readily  to 
mind — and  she  is  being  featured  in  Su- 
preme Comedies,  the  first  three  being 
"Molly's  Millions,"  "Molly's  Mumps" 
and  "Artistic  Temperament."  .-\  fourth 
had  not,  at  this  writing,  been  named. 

I  think  I  should  have  forgotten  how 
very  little  and  childish  she  looked  if  it 
had  not  been  for  an  accident  which  might 
have  come  out  of  one  of  her  own  come- 
dies. On  the  day  I  saw  her,  she  and  her 
mother  had  just  moved  back  to  the  court 
from  'Venice,  where  they  had  spent  the 
summer.  They  had  been  unable  to  get 
the  same  cottage  that  they  had  last 
winter,  and  among  other  things  wrong 
with  the  one  they  did  get  was  the  tele- 
phone, which  was  much,  much  too  high 
for  Molly  to  reach.  It  rang  just  as  I 
was  leaving,  and  her  mother,  who  had 
answered  it,  called,  "This  is  for  you, 
Molly,"  and  hastily  pushed  a  little  box 
underneath  for  her  to  stand  on.  But  the 
box  wasn't  strong  enough  and  Molly 
went  thru  it,  skiiming  her  nose  on  the 
edge  of  the  'phone  as  she  fell.

MOTION  PICTURE  CLASSIC 

The  Celluloid  Critic 

(Continued  from  page  45) 
make  his  fortune.  Two  years  later  finds 
him  still  the  thirteenth  clerk  in  the  em- 
ploy of  a  prosperous  firm.  Homer  de- 
cides not  to  wait  for  future  success,  but 
to  go  back  to  Mainesyille  with  his  three 
hundred  dollars  savings  for  a  vacation. 
He  electrifies  the  old  town  into  believing 
him  a  millionaire  by  indulging  in  all 
sorts  of  extravagances,  from  engaging 
the  village  taxi  for  two  weeks  to  occupy- 
ing the  hotel's  bridal  suite.  And,  of 
course,  he  hits  upon  an  idea  which  brings 
him  to  sudden  success  and  wins  the  vil- 
lage belle  away  from  the  hotel  owner's 
surly  son. 

^Ir.  Ray  invests  the  role  with  a  hun- 
dred and  one  subtle  touches  of  humor 
and  humanness.  Between  Mr.  Ray  and 
Jerome  Storm's  direction,  "Homer  Comes 
Home"  becomes  decidedly  likeable. 

In  his  visualization  of  C.  Haddon 
Chambers'  "Passers-By,"  (Pathe),  J. 
Stuart  Blackton  does  two  things  better 
than  he  has  ever  done  before.  He 
catches  the  damp  greyness  of  the  foggy 
London  streets  better  than  he  has  ever 
captured  any  photoplay  atmosphere  be- 
fore. And  his  camera  work  is  better, 
frequently  being  finely  artistic.  But  it 
seems  to  us  that  he  misses  the  heart  note 
in  this  moving  drama  of  Chambers,  in 
which  a  young  bachelor  invites  three 
passers-by  into  his  rooms  out  of  a 
storm — and  finds  one  of  them  to  be  his 
sweetheart  of  years  before.  "Passers- 
By"  is  not  especially  well  cast,  William 
J.  Ferguson,  the  sterling  old  character 
comedian,  simply  running  away  with  the 
film  as  a  whimsical  old  rogue  of  a  valet. 

Tom  Moore  gives  a  hkeable  celluloid 
performance  in  Ben  Ames  Williams' 
"The  Great  Accident,"  (Goldwyn). 
Moore  plays  a  harum-scarum  youth  who 
is  finally  awakened  when  the  great  acci- 
dent comes  —  i.e.,  when  he  is  elected 
mayor  of  his  town  as  a  practical  joke. 
The  action  moves  thru  a  series  of  fear- 
fully trite  melodramatic  incidents,  but 
Moore  maintains  a  certain  interest.  Jane 
Novak  is  an  effective  heroine. 

"Married  Life,"  (First  National),  is  a 
five-reel  Mack  Sennett  farce  done  in  the 
broadest  slapstick  fashion.  We  admit 
our  liking  for  two-reel  Sennetts,  but,  in 
truth,  this  five-reeler  bored  us,  altho 
there  are  many  ingeniously  devised 
laughs.  "Married  Life"  is  described  as 
a  domestic  satire,  but  in  reality  it  merely 
relates  the  episodic  adventures  of  "a 
man's  man,"  played  by  the  slant-eyed 
Ben  Turpin.  The  thing  is  ridiculously 
amusing — at  times.  But  two  reels  is 
enough  of  this  sort  of  thing. 

Douglas  MacLean  and  Doris  May 
have  yet  to  duplicate  their  little  comedy 
classic,  "23j/  Hours'  Leave."  Their 
latest,  "Let's  Be  Fashionable,"  is  a  mild 
comedy  revolving  around  the  efforts  of  a 
loving  young  couple  to  ape  the  domestic 
indifference  of  their  surburban  colony, 
where  every  hubby  is  faithful  to  a  wife — 
of  someone  else's.  You  will  find  "Let's 
Be  Fashionable"  fairly  entertaining — and 
little  more, 

(Ninety-one) 


To  our  way  of  thinking,  Wanda  Haw- 
ley  got  off  to  a  bad  stellar  start  with 
"Miss  Hobbs,"  (Realart),  remotely 
based  upon  the  old  Jerome  K.  Jerome 
comedy.  It  is  the  much-used  idea  of  the 
fair  man-hater  who  is  eventually  won 
over  to  love.  Here  Miss  Hobbs  gives 
herself  to  barefoot  classic  dancing  in  the 
morning  dew.  futuristic  bungalows  and 
mannish  garb,  until  the  piano-tuner,  alias 
a  rich  youth  in  disguise,  appears  on  the 
horizon.  Then  fads  are  forgotten. 
"Miss  Hobbs"  is  piffling  stuff.  More- 
over, it  forces  the  gently  pretty  Miss 
Hawley  into  an  affected,  unreal  and  even 
unsympathetic  role  for  her  first  starring 
production.  We.  thought  Donald  Crisp's 
direction  rather  unimaginative. 

Pinotopiasmic  Peregrinations 

(Continued  from  page  57) 

Here  is  a  little  incident  that  may  illu- 
mine you  regarding  one  man  who  has 
been  for  many  years  the  idol  of  screen 
fans  the  world  over — Hobart  Bosworth. 
You  remember,  of  course,  his  immortal 
characterization  of  Jack  London's  "Sea 
Wolf" — in  the  original  production,  of 
course — and  I  am  sure  those  of  you  who 
saw  him  in  "Behind  the  Door"  will  never 
forget  his  vivid  portrayal  of  Krug. 

Hobart,  good  fellow  that  he  is,  drove 
over  to  a  little  restaurant  in  Hollywood 
the  other  day ;  he  was  in  his  overalls,  be- 
grimed and  greasy,  for  he  had  been  tink- 
ering with  his  new  machine.  After  or- 
dering breakfast,  he  was  addressed  by 
the  proprietor  of  the  place,  who  evidently 
did  not  recognize  in  Bosworth  the  fa- 
vorite of  millions  of  moving  picturegoers. 

"Want  to  make  a  little  extra  change?" 
asked  the  restaurateur. 

"What  doing?"  smiled  Hobart. 

"Well,"  the  man  explained,  "I  have  a 
leaky  pipe  in  my  cellar  that  needs  repair- 
ing. It  will  only  take  a  few  minutes  to 
fix  it.  I'll  take  you  down  right  after 
breakfast  and  show  it  to  you." 

Henry  Kolker,  the  director,  happened 
to  be  passing  Hobart's  table  and  ex- 
plained to  the  cafe  owner  that  he  was 
talking  to  Hobart  Bosworth,  the  famous 
actor. 

"My  Lord !"  ejaculated  the  fellow. 
"How  could  I  tell  ?"  pointing  to  Bos- 
worth's  overalls. 

"Dont  you  see  the  beautiful  car  out 
there?"  said  Mr.  Kolker.  "That  belongs 
to- " 

"Oh,  well !"  interrupted  the  abashed 
proprietor.  "  'Most  every  plumber  has  a 
swell  car  these  days,  but,  of  course,  if 
Mr.  Bosworth  isn't  a  plumber,  I  wont 
bother  him  any  more  about  my  pipe." 

"Dont  you  believe  it,"  roared  Hobart, 
thoroly  enjoying  the  situation.  "I  work 
just  as  hard  in  my  profession  as  any 
plumber,  even  if  I  dont  make  so  much 
money  as  some  of  them.  Come  on,  now  ! 
Show  me  that  pipe !" 

And,  would  you  believe  it,  here  was 
this  great  actor  voluntarily  playing 
plumber,  with  the  help  of  Mr.  Kolker 
and  the  restaurant  man !  And  I  under- 
stand he  fixed  the  pipe  just  as  well  as 
any  professional  could  have,  too !

attacks  hair  under  the  skin  as  well  as  on 
the  skin  which  is  the  only  common-sense 
way  to  remove  it  from  face,  neck,  arms, 
underarms  or  limbs.

nf  liis;  coming,  or  even  to  notice  wlicn  he 
stood,  dangerous  as  a  taut  trigger,  upon 
the  threshold.  One,  a  smallish,  stoutish 
man  with  a  limp,  uncurled  jauntiness  about 
him.  had  his  hands  on  Eve's  shoulders, 
while  he  spoke  down  into  her  terror- 
twisted  face  gloatingly,  "So  you  pretend 
you  dont  remember  me,  eh  ?  Of  course, 
a  husband  cant  expect  his  wife " 

Eve  screamed  again.  "Wife  !"  she  cried 
in  a  suffocated  tone,  like  one  coming  out 
of  ether.  "Wife!  There  was  a  man 
once  called  nie  that !  I  dont  want  to  re- 
member— oil,  Dickie !" 

She  tried  to  break  away  and  run  to 
him,  and,  turning,  they  looked  into  the 
muzzle  of  his  leveled  revolver  and  into 
two  eyes  loaded  with  trouble.  The  man 
holding  Eve  was  disconcerted,  but  he  did 
not  release  her.  "I  beg  your  pardon," 
he  began,  elaborately  sarcastic,  "if  I'm 
intruding,  but  you  see  this  lady  you  have 
been  entertaining  happens  to  be  my  wife. 
I  ain  Henri  Caron,  and  we  were  married 
on  the  morning  of  the  day  my  machine 
broke  a  wing-brace  and  threw  me  into 
the  ocean.  A  tramp  coaster  picked  me 
up.  It  was  bound  for  South  America, 
and  didn't  boast  a  wireless.  There  was  a 
revolution  on  when  we  arrived,  and  for 
one  reason  and  another,  I  was  not  able 
to  make  a  search  for  Eve  until  very 
lately." 

There  was  the  ring  of  truth  in  his 
words ;  even  Richard,  hating  him  as  he 
did.  had  to  admit  that.  His  revolver 
wavered,  dropped  to  his  side.  He  looked 
at  Eve  and  she  saw  farewell  in  his  gaze. 

"Her  father  is  waiting  on  my  yacht 
yonder."  the  suave  voice  continued,  en- 
joyingly.  "Perhaps  you  will  allow  me  to 
take  my  wife  with  me.  We  are  very 
grateful,  of  covirse,  for  any  services  you 
may  have  rendered  her,  but  a  stranger's 
claims " 

"A  stranger's!"  Eve  had  torn  herself 
free  at  last  and  stood  by  Richard  Bedell's 
side,  soft  young  bosom  heaving.  "Never! 
Something  has  happened — like  waking 
out  of  a  happy  dream,  I  had  forgot- 
ten— but  now  I  remember  everything  I  I 
remember  that  I  wanted  to  die  rather 
than  be  your  wife!  I  even  remember 
things  that  I  dreamed  these  last  months 
— and  the  man  who  did  these  things,  kind, 
wonderful,  tender  things,  is  not  a 
stranger!  Oh,  Dickie!  Dickie!  Why 
did  I  have  to  wake  up?"  She  leaned  to 
him,  desolately,  and  very  gently  he  patted 
her  bowed  head. 

"He  is  right,  I  suppose,"  he  said 
slowly ;  "he  has  the  law  and  convention 
and  all  the  smug  habits  of  humankind  on 
his  side.  I  cant  ask  you  to  defy  the 
whole  world.  Eve.  There  is  nothing  be- 
tween us  e.xcept — everything  !" 

They  went  out  of  the  hut  and  to  the 
cliff's  edge,  Richard  walking  beside  the 
girl,  who  wept  in  long,  silent  shudders, 
but  made  no  further  plea.  It  was  as  tho 
the  two  were  caught  in  the  inexorable 
grip  of  some  senseless  but  terribly  pow- 
erful machine  called  civilization  and  felt 
themselves     whirled    into     its     crushing 


maw,  helpless  to  save  themselves.  Henri 
Caron,  watching  the  way  her  slender 
body  leaned  to  the  tall,  straight  figure  at 
her  side,  thinking  perhaps  how  she 
shrank  from  his,  touch,  felt  himself 
swept  by  the  bitterest  jealousy  known  to 
jealous  mankind,  that  of  the  going  for 
the  coming,  that  of  tired  age  for  youth 
that  can  still  feel  and  thrill,  of  surfeit  for 
the  old,  undimmed  wonder  of  desiring. 

On  the  edge  of  the  cliff,  where  Rich- 
ard had  cut  a  steep,  ladder-like  flight  of 
steps  down  to  the  beach  far  below,  he 
broke  his  lifelong  habit  and  let  his  emo- 
tions have  full  control.  Shaking  with 
baffled  fury  at  the  savorlessness  of  his 
triumph,  he  sprang  to  Eve's  side  and 
brutally  flung  her  away  from  the  other 

man.      "If    I    thought "    he   panted; 

"she  seems  infernally  sorry  to  leave — 
if  I  thought " 

"I  advise  you,"  Richard  spoke  levelly, 
"not  to  think.  All  men  aren't  like  your- 
self, you  know.  There  might  even  be 
one  whose  notion  of  love  might  inter- 
pose itself  like  a  drawn  sword  between 
his  baser  sclT  and  the  dear  honor  of  the 
woman  he  loved." 

"A  likely  tale !"  shrieked  Caron,  and 
lunged  at  him,  blind  with  hate.  The 
earth  crumbled  under  his  heel ;  for  a 
single  instant  he  reeled  against  the  sky, 
clutching  frenziedly  at  nothing,  then 
pitched  backward  and  was  gone.  Rich- 
ard motioned  the  other  man,  a  common 
seaman,  toward  Eve.  "Take  care  of 
her,"  he  directed  briefly,  and  let  himself 
down  upon  the  stone  ladder.  When,  long 
moments  later,  he  reappeared,  he  spoke 
quietly.  "There  is  nothing  that  can  be 
done  for  him.  Row  out  to  the  yacht  at 
once  and  bring  the  others.  Explain  how 
Caron  met  his  death.  Tell  her  father 
that  Mrs.  Caron  is  here,  safe  and  well." 

Side  by  side  they  waited,  while  the 
sound  of  oars  melted  into  the  eternal 
monotone  of  the  sea,  while  the  stars 
faded  and  the  east  grew  pale.  They  did 
not  speak.  There  are  things  that  can  be 
said  better  without  words. 

Morning  grew  luminous  all  about 
them ;  the  little,  eager  waves  had  tips  of 
flame.  "Eve,"  the  man  said,  at  length, 
with  a  deep  tremble  in  his  voice  and  a 
deep  awe,  "Eve  !  Eve  !'' 

"My  man,"  she  answered,  and  her 
voice  was  like  a  muted  string.  Below, 
across  the  morning  sea  a  little  boat  raced 
fussily  toward  the  shore,  its  motor  bark- 
ing like  the  voice  of  Custom  baying  at 
the  Cosmos.  But  they  did  not  hear  or 
see.  They  rose  and  stood  against  the 
golden  glory  of  the  sky,  alone  in  the 
universe. 

"You  have  lost  me  three  times, 
Dickie,"  she  reminded  him,  tenderly 
chiding,  "you  wont  let  them  take  me 
away  now  ?" 

"Not  even  God  could  take  you  away 
from  me  now !"  he  cried,  with  the  splen- 
did insolence  of  young  love,  "not  Life 
nor  Death  nor  any  creature."  He  looked 
down  at  her,  the  new,  strong  lines  of  pa- 
tience cutting  deep  down  about  his  mouth.

The  Anniversary 

Number 
of    Shadowland 

The  September  issue  of  Shadow- 
LAxn  is  tlie  anniversary  number  of 
this  magazine.  It  is  just  one  year 
old — merely  an  infant  in  arms  as 
yet — but  showing  symptoms  of 
prodigious  strength  and  growing 
abihty. 

l"o  show  our  gratitude  for  the  many 
kindnesses  received  at  the  hands  of 
our  friends  and  readers,  we  have 
made  this  anniversary  number  the 
best  and  most  beautiful  one  yet 
issued. 

We  have  a  story  on  the  new  Rus- 
sian ballet  by  Oliver  M.  Sayler  who 
has  written  several  well-known 
liooks  on  the  subject. 

We  have  a  humorous  satire  on  the 
movies  by  the  popular  writer,  Ben- 
jamin de  Casseres; 

We  have  a  prophetic  forecast  of  the 
coming  theater  season ;  articles  of 
unusual  merit  by  Louis  Raymond 
Reid,  Frederick  James  Smith,  Lisa 
Ysaye  Tarleau,  and  other  well- 
known  writers  ; — the  pictures  have 
never  beeen  equalled :  the  color- 
plate  photographs  are  of  such 
beauty  that  you  will  have  them 
framed, — and  all  in  all,  the  Septem- 
ber number  will  be  one  that  you  will 
read — and  read  again.

Let  Me  Prove  I  Teach  Piano 
In  Quarter  Usual  Time 


Write  for  my  free  booklet.  Ask  for  the  names  and 
addresses  of  accomplished  players  of  piano  or  organ 
near  you  who  obtained  their  entire  training  from  me 
by  mail.  I  have  students  in  all  parts  of  the  world 
and  scores  in  every  state  in  the  Union. 

Although  my  way  of  teaching  piano  was  laughed  at 
when  I  first  started  in  1891.  yet  I  now  have  far  more 
students  than  were  ever  before  taught  by  one  man. 
Could  I  have  fought  my  way  up  against  prejudice  like 
this,  year  after  year  for  over  a  quarter  of  a  century, 
unless  my  method  possessed  REAL  MERIT? 
Investigate^    is  all  I  ask. 

I'll  teach  you  piano  in  quarter  the 
usual  time  and  at  quarter  the  usual 
cost.  If  you  have  not  previously  heard 
of  my  method  this  may  seem  like  a 
pretty  bold  statement.  But  I  will  soon 
prove  to  you  that  it  is  not  in  any  way 
exaggerated  if  you'll  simply  send  me 
your  name  and  address  on  the  coupon 
below. 

My  way  of  teaching  piano  or  organ 
is  entirely  different  from  all  others. 
Out  of  every  four  hours  of  study, 
one  hour  is  spent  entirely  azvay  from 
the  keyboard— \earn\ng  something 
about  Harmony  and  The  Laws  of 
Music.  This  is  an  awful  shock  to 
most  teachers  of  the  "old  school," 
who  still  think  that  learning  piano  is 
solely  a  problem  of  "finger  gymnas- 
tics." When  you  do  go  to  the  key- 
btjard,  you  accomplish  tzvice  as  much, 
because  you  understand  ivhat  you  are 
doing.  Studying  this  way  is  a  pleasure. 
Within  four  lessons  I  enable  you  to 
play  an  interesting  piece  not  only  in 
t^^,  ^"-^  ^    the  original  key,  but  in  all  other  keys

They  can  be  obtained  only  from  me  and 
there  is  nothing  else  anywhere  even

Men  and  women  who  have  failed  by  all  other 
methods  have  quickly  and  easily  attained  success 
when  studying  with  me.  In  all  essential  ways 
you  are  in  closer  touch  with  me  than  if  you  were 
studying  by  the  oral  method — yet  my  lessons  cost 
you  only  43  cents  each — and  they  include  all  the 
many  recent  developments  in  scientific  teaching. 
For  the  student  of  moderate  means,  this  method 
of  studying  is  far  superior  to  all  others;  and  even 
for  the  wealthiest  student,  there  is  nothing  better 
at   any   price.

The  Metro  studio,  like  an  extremely 
hardy  weed,  has  grown  and  grown.  Its 
roots  .stretcli  over  acres  and  acres  of  dis- 
similar architecture.  The  newest  sprout 
is  its  section  of  office  buildings  and  dress- 
ing-rooms, which  boast  a  fresh  coat  of 
white  paint. 

On  the  stage,  I  followed  my  ears  in- 
stead of  my  nose,  and  by  the  wail  of  a 
violin  found  myself  in  a  Klieg-lighted 
scenic  hallway,  where  Winifred  Green- 
wood, wearing  a  lovely  clinging  frock  of 
dark  blue  beaded  georgette,  was  "emot- 
ing" under  the  tutelage  of  Phil  Rosen 
for  a  scene  in  "Are  All  Men  Alike .'" 
:May  Allison's  new  starring  picture. 

Miss  .'Mlison,  who  is  the  most  beloved 
person  about  the  studio  because  of  her 
cheerful  disposition  and  her  kindness  to 
everyone,  which  extends  even  to  the 
smallest  extra  and  the  studio  dog,  was 
removing  her  grease-paint  in  her  ivory- 
and-blue  dressing-room  preparatory  to 
departing  to  her  beautiful  new  home  in 
Beverly  Hills. 

Here  I  met  Viola  Dana  for  the  first 
time — and  if  anyone  can  meet  that  tiny 
cut-up  and  not  fall  irresponsibly  in  love 
with  her — well,  show  'em  to  me. 

Miss  Dana  is  about  five  feet  tall — in 
her  French  heels — and  the  most  irrespon- 
sible, mischievous,  pert,  tomboyish  ticket 
I  have  ever  seen.  She  was  wearing  a 
heavenly  evening  frock  of  jade-green 
velvet  combined  with  green-and-gold 
brocade.  She  couldn't  resist  spreading 
her  trim  little  feet  apart  and  dancing 
around  to  show  me  the  pantalette  effect 
of  the  skirt  as  she  pirouetted  about ;  her 
bobbed  locks  flying,  her  rounded  shoul- 
ders and  small  feet  jazzing,  she  reminded 
me  of  nothing  in  the  world  so  much  as  a 
naughty  little  boy  dressed  up  in  sister's 
best  dress. 

She  told  me,  with  a  wave  of  her  de- 
lectable arm,  "I've  been  made  up  like 
this  for  the  last  three  hours — supposed 
to  start  on  my  new  picture,  'Blackmail' — 
and  nozi'  they  send  'round  word  that  they 
wont  need  me  today,  I  can  go  home — 
fine  stuff,  I'll  say!" 

I  called  her  attention  to  a  new  joke 
sprung  recently  by  Roscoe  Arbuckle 
when  he  was  watching  Lieutenant  Lock- 
lear,  noted  airman,  do  his  famous  flying 
stunts  above  the  Lasky  studio. 

"Wonder  how  he  does  it  ?"  cried  a  lady 
visitor. 

"Why,"  remarked  "Fatty,"  "Locklear 
vv-asn't  born  !    He  was  hatched  !" 

At  my  recital,  Viola  dramatically  placed 
a  hand  over  her  heart. 

"My  word !"  she  said.  "I  get  a  real 
thrill  every  time  I  hear  his  name." 

Miss  Dana,  you  know,  spends  most  of 
her  spare  time  in  the  air  with  Lieutenant 
Locklear. 

The  Brunton  studios  are  practically  a 
gold  mine  these  days.  Because  of  their 
tremendous  size  and  excellent  facilities 
for  making  pictures,  each  new  company 
that  is  formed  trots  over  to  Mr.  Robert 
Brunton  and  rents  space,  offices,  accoutre- 


ments in  his  studio  to  make  their  pic- 
tures, which  is  much  simpler  than  build- 
ing new  studios  of  their  own.  Here 
Mary  Pickford  makes  her  pictures — and 
I  walked  down  the  street  which  was  built 
for  "The  Hoodlum" — remember.  East 
Side,  New  York?  It  was  silent  and  woe- 
begone, dusty  and  deserted — it  seemed 
sad  that  its  usefulness  was  over  and  that 
the  puppets  who  played  down  its  alleys 
had  long  since  departed. 

Just  around  the  corner  from  this  de- 
serted section  I  bumped  into  a  street  of 
Old  Mexico — here  greasy  Mexicans,  the 
real  article,  were  playing  Black  Jack,  or 
some  game  with  cards,  while  they  waited 
to  be  called  to  take  part  in  Brunton's  new 
serial,  "Double  Adventure." 

A  little  farther  on  I  was  introduced  to 
Josie  Sedgwick.  You  will  remember 
her  principally  for  her  splendid  work  op- 
posite Will  Rogers  in  "Jubilo."  Miss 
Sedgwick  is  a  remarkable  woman.  One 
reason  is  that  she  doesn't  like  to  be  called 
Josephine,  her  real  name,  but  prefers  the 
simpler  one  of  Josie ;  another  is  that 
when  I  asked  her  about  this  new  serial 
in  which  she  is  playing  the  lead,  she  said, 
"It  stars  Mr.  Hutchinson,  you  know !" 
Miss  Sedgwick  admits  that  she  is 
happy — contented  !  She  enjoys  acting  in 
serials  as  well  as  in  feature  pictures,  be- 
cause she  loves  her  work.  She  played 
also  in  the  Jack  Dempsey  serial  and 
praised  him  in  glowing  terms. 

"He  is  a  splendid  fellow — in  every 
way,"  she  said. 

On  the  Brunton  stage,  which  boasts  a 
surface  of  39,000  square  feet,  scenes 
were  being  shot  of  Roy  Stewart  and 
George  Fisher  for  "The  Devil  to  Pay," 
Brunton's  initial  all-star  production. 
Contrary  to  my  expectations,  Roy  Stew- 
art appeared  to  belong  not  at  all  to  the 
wild  West,  but  rather  to  the  eft'ete  East.  1 
can  imagine  him  tea-ing  at  the  Ritz  much 
more  easily  than  parading  the  plains. 

The  greatest  activity  and  expectation 
was  being  exercised  over  a  set  being  pre- 
pared for  Marion  Davies,  who  is  ex- 
pected out  here  to  film  her  next  special 
feature,  "Buried  Treasure,"  for  Cosmo- 
politan Productions. 

Here  also  the  famous  Mayflower  pic- 
tures are  being  filmed.  It  was  here  that 
the  last  scenes  for  Robert  Chambers' 
story,  "Athalie,"  were  shot.  Syd  Frank- 
lyn's  special  production,  which  has  Rose- 
mary Theby  and  Norman  Kerry  in  the 
cast. 

Speaking  of  the  handsome  Norman — 
he  recently  married  an  extremely  charm- 
ing W'estern  heiress  and  is  busy  at  pres- 
ent honeymooning.  Nobody  knows  when 
he  will  return  to  work. 

Betty  Compson.  who  scored  such  a  tre- 
mendous hit  in  "The  Miracle  Man,"  has 
completed  her  first  starring  picture, 
which  will  be  released  this  fall.  Miss 
Compson  plans  to  do  six  or  eight  pic- 
tures a  year  and  her  ambition  is  to  have 
each  screen  play  present  a  girl  of  abso- 
lutely different  character.

The 

Motion  Picture 

Magazine 

For  OCTOBER 

BIGGER- 
BETTER— 
BRIGHTER— 


than  ever,  the  October  issue  of  the 
Motion  Picture  Magazine  will  greet 
you,  on  the  first  day  of  September, 
with  a  grin  of  pride  in  its  own  merit 
which  will  just  border  on  the  smirk  of 
complacenc}'.     You're  sceptical? 

Well,  as  a  teaser  to  your  imagination, 
we  want  to  tell  you  of  a  few  things 
which  will  be  in  this  boasting  number ; 

Judging  from  the  number  of  ex-bathing 
beauties  who  have  de\'eloped  into  stars 
of  the  celluloidian  drama,  it  seems  that 
salt-water  comedy  training,  as  studied 
under  the  learned  tutelage  of  Mack  Sen- 
nett,  fits  one  perfectly  for  the  more 
warmly  clad  rendition  of  drama.  Like 
Gloria  Swanson,  Bebe  Daniels  ct  al., 
Marj-  Thurman  has  followed  the  instruc- 
tions of  Mr.  Sennett — and  now  look  at 
her.  In  the  story  which  Hazel  Simpson 
Naylor  writes  of  Mary,  we  learn  a  good 
deal  about  the  refining  process  of  the 
beach. 

The  much-admired  Rudyard  Kipling 
once  quoted,  very  sententiously,  that  the 
East  was  the  East  and  the  West  was  the 
West — and  the  two  could  never  have 
anything  in  common.  Well,  just  the 
other  day  Adele  Whitely  Fletcher  de- 
cided to  find  out  for  herself  how  much 
significance  lay  in  the  Kipling  remark — 
and  returned  with  a  story  of  an  inter- 
view she  had  with  Sessue  Hayakavva — 
and  all  we  shall  say  about  it  is  that  it  is 
in  the  October  issue  of  the  Magazine. 

The  popular  Irene  Castle  talks  to  Gladys 
Hall  and  Gladys  tells  you  what  she  had 
to  say  in  a  very  amusingly-written  in- 
terview, illustrated  with  some  beautiful 
portraits  of  the  well-known  dancer. 

Girls,  watch  out  for  this  number!  Why? 
Because — Maude  S.  Cheatham,  one  of 
our  coast  correspondents,  has  cornered 
the  heart-thrilling  Wallie  Reid  in  his 
own  home,  and  in  a  very  much-at-home 
mood. 

There's  a  fictionization  of  "The  Molly- 
coddle," Douglas  Fairbanks'  latest  pic- 
ture; there's  new  gossip  of  the  players, 
new  pictures,  and,  in  other  words — the 
October  issue  of  The  Motion  Picture 
Magazine  is  a  sure  winner.

How  to  Obtain  Beautiful,  Rich, 
Long,   Eyelashes   and    Brows! 

EVERY  WOMAN  should  be  the  rightful  owner  of  beautiful  eyes,  the  essentials  of 
which  are,  First ;  Long,  rich  eyelashes ;  and  Second ;  Well-cared-for  eyebrows.  No 
matter  what  color  your  eyes  may  be. — gray,  brown  or  blue, — if  they  arc  shaded 
by  thick,  silky  lashes,  and  well-shaped  brows,  their  charm  is  greatly  accentuated. 

Nowadays,  no  one  needs  to  be  the  dissatisfied  possessor  of  short,  thin,  uneven  browa 
and  lashes;  you  can  greatly  assist  Nature  by  simply  applying  a  little  of  M.  T.'s  Eyelash 
and  Eyebrow  Beautifier  at  night.  This  scientific  preparation  nourishes  the  eyebrows  and 
eyelashes,  causing  them  to  become  gradually  thick  and  lustrous,  imparting  sparkling  ex- 
pression to  the  eyes,  and  added  charm  to  the  face. 

M.  T.'s  Eyelash  and  Eyebrow  Beautifier,  which  has  been  successfully  used  by  thous- 
ands, is  guaranteed  absolutely  harmless;  it  is  not  a  greasy,  sticky  salve,  but  a  clean, 
nicely-perfumed  liquid,  in  a  cut  glass  bottle  with  glass  stopper  and  applicator.  The  cut 
represents  actual  size  of  bottle.  The  active  principle  of  this  valuable  article  is  a  rare  and 
expensive  organic  concentration  which  is  unequalled  for  the  purpose  of  stimulating  and 
strengthening  the  particular  follicles  which  produce  rich,  dark  eyelashes.

Temperamental  Una 

{Continued  from  page  59) 

"Well,  she  just  wouldn't  sec,  insisting 
that  I  had  disgraced  the  family  and  feel- 
ing that  in  some  way  she  had  been  to 
blame — my  father  was  no  longer  living — 
and  she  came  over  to  New  York  and 
took  mc  home.  Then  began  a  series  of 
arguments,  but  when  she  did  at  last  real- 
ize that  she  could  never  turn  me  from 
my  purpose,  mother  proved  what  a  game 
sport  she  was  by  taking  me  back  to 
Sioux  City  herself. 

"They  gave  me  a  hearty  welcome  and 
in  a  short  time  the  audiences  sent  in  peti- 
tions to  have  me  play  the  lead.  I  was 
there  eight  months  and  we  put  on  a  new 
play  each  week.  Work!  I  slaved,  and 
how  that  manager  coached  and  drilled 
me  for  hours  and  hours.  Yovi  see,  I  had 
really  had  so  little  experience  and  knew 
absolutely  nothing  about  dramatic  tech- 
nique." 

Una  Trevelyn  is  a  striking-looking 
girl,  with  lovely  fair  skin,  blonde  hair  and 
deep,  expressive  eyes.  She  is  slight,  al- 
most fragile,  and  one  wonders  where  she 
keeps  her  all-indoinitable  spirit. 

"Pictures?  Oh,  I  just  happened  into 
them,"  and  Miss  Trevelyn  grew  thought- 
ful. "I  had  been  with  A.  H.  Woods  for 
two  years,  playing  the  leading  roles  in 
'Common  Clay'  and  'Cheating  Cheaters' 
on  tour,  and  was  called  to  New  York 
to  be  starred.  When  I  reached  there  I 
was  a  wreck,  weighing  only  ninety-six 
pounds.  The  doctors  decreed  that  I  must 
go  West  iminediately.  That  was  a  year 
ago,  and  I  came  to  Los  Angeles,  where 
I  gained  from  the  first  moment.  I  re- 
member that  I  inet  Mabel  Normand  a 
few  weeks  later,  and  she  gasped,  'I  heard 
you  were  dying !    Why,  you  look  fine !'  " 

The  big  interest  in  her  life  is  her 
twelve-year-old  nephew,  Everett,  whom 
she  legally  adopted  four  years  ago  when 
her  mother,  who  had  been  the  child's 
guardian,  became  seriously  ill. 

"When  the  courts  gave  him  to  me," 
Una  spoke  solemnly,  "I  mentally  folded 
him  in  my  arms  and  claimed  hiin  for  my 
own — somehow  I  feel  that  my  sister 
knows  how  dearly  I  love  him.  I  have 
suffered  for  him,  too  ;  perhaps  that  is  one 
reason  I  adore  him  so,  for  when  he  was 
four  he  was  terribly  burned,  and  I  gave 
my  own  skin  to  be  grafted  on  his  leg, 
which  saved  it." 

Everett  is  with  lier  in  Los  Angeles  and 
is  a  student  at  the  Harvard  Military 
.*^chool,  and  when  her  mother  comes  out 
this  summer,  she  is  planning  to  select  a 
site  and  build  a  home.  .She  wants  a  hill- 
side, with  winding  roads,  inany  flowers 
and  tall  trees  for  the  mocking-birds  to 
make  their  nests. 

Miss  Trevelyn  is  an  expert  golfer, 
having  won  the  woman's  Eastern  cham- 
pionship four  years  ago  at  the  .Seaview 
Club,  Atlantic  City,  where  the  Trevelyns 
have  a  summer  home.  Tho  she  seldom 
plays,  she  can  still  make  a  splendid 
record.  She  is  a  motor  enthusiast  and 
her  greatest  little  recreation  is  buying 
cars;  she  has  had  half  a  dozen  during 
the  past  year.

We  begin  with: 

Miss  Juliette  Compton,  of  340  West 
85th  Street,  New  York  City.  She  is  a 
member  of  the  "What's  In  a  Name?" 
company.  Lyric  Theater,  and  a  South- 
erner by  birth.  Miss  Compton  is  very 
unusual  to  look  at.  She  has  black  hair, 
grey  eyes  and  fair  complexion. 

A  belle  of  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  is  Miss 
Gladys  Stetson,  of  404  DeKalb  Avenue. 
She  is  an  eccentric  dancer  of  no  mean 
ability,  having  appeared  with  "Hitchy 
Koo,"  and  is  the  possessor  of  a  pair  of 
brown  eyes,  a  inass  of  brown  hair  and  a 
fair  complexion. 

The  little  blonde  Westerner  is  Miss  Al- 
lene  Ray,  of  2248  River  Avenue,  San 
Antonio,  Texas.  Miss  Ray  has  had  some 
musical  comedy  experience  as  well  as 
some  screen  experience.  She  has  hazel 
eyes,  golden  blonde  hair  and  fair  skin. 

Miss  Mary  Louise  Lizare,  of  502  W. 
Washington  Street,  Sandusky,  Ohio,  has 
never  had  any  previous  stage  experience. 
She  is  a  brunette  with  the  brownest  of 
eyes  and  the  brownest  of  hair  and  a  fair 
skin. 

Altho  we  have  never  heard  of  Valiant, 
Oklahoma,  we  herewith  wish  to  state 
that  our  ignorance  is  of  much  deeper  im- 
port than  we  had  thought,  for  froin  Val- 
iant comes  little  Helen  Trigg,  who, 
while  she  has  never  had  any  stage  or 
screen  experience,  is  a  contestant  who 
causes  one  to  sit  up  and  take  notice. 
Miss  Trigg  is  a  brunette  with  brown  hair 
and  large  brown  eyes  that  look  out  on  a 
very  pleased  recipient,  the  world. 

Miss  Evelyn  Yvonne  Hughes,  of  2916 
Shady  Avenue,  McKeesport,  Pa.,  is  an- 
other honor  roll  member  who  bids  fair  to 
put  up  a  good  argument  for  the  final 
honor  awards.  She  has  never  been  on 
the  stage  or  screen,  but  a  girl  with  blue- 
grey  eyes,  chestnut  hair  and  fair  com- 
plexion who  wants  anything — stands  a 
good  chance  of  getting  it. 

From  the  sunny  skies  of  California — 
or,  to  be  more  explicit  and  less  poetical, 
from  141  West  4Sth  Street,  Los  Angeles 
• — comes  this  photograph  of  Miss  Ester 
Marie  Ritter,  who  desires  motion  picture 
fame  and  fortune.  Miss  Ritter  has  had 
no  former  stage  or  screen  experience  and 
is  a  brunette  of  the  "Nut-Brown  Maid" 
type,  with  black  hair,  olive  skin  and 
dark-brown  eyes. 


SALVAGE 


By  Barb.\ra  Hollis 

You  rescued  a  rose  from  the  dust  of  the  road 

Where  'twas  lying: 
You  eased  my  poor  heart  when  the  weight  of 
its  load 

Was  most  trying. 
The  rose  yielded  perfume  a  moment  or  two — 
Then  died  after  all,  as  all  roses  must  do; 
But  love  is  immortal,  and  ever  in  you 
My  heart  shall  find  rest — make  its  final  abode: 

Love  undying !

"THE  MASTER

Mr.  Bennett's  personally  super-

famous  stage  success  of  the  same 
title,  written  by  Daniel  G.  Carter. 

The  thrilling,  melodramatic 
story,  of  a  strong,  ruthless 
man,  who  tramples  on  men's 
hearts  and  women's  souls  to 
gain  his  own  end — but  with 
a    most  peculiar    ending.

N  added  charm  of  Florient  Talc  is  the  color  of  the  powder.    This  is  most  unusual  and 
distinctive — just  off  the  white.    The  rare  Oriental  fragrance  and  delicate  fineness  of  the 
powder  itself  also  explain  the  popularity  of  Colgate's  Rorient— the  new  superfine  Talc. 

Florient,  you  will  remember,  gained  first  place  in  an  International  Perfume  Contest.    As  the 
pure  delight  of  its  fragrance  won  favor— so  will   the  grace  and  beauty  of  the  new  box  in

He  sees  by  the  papers  that  his  thea- 
tre is  showing  a  Paramount  Picture  to- 
night. 

That's  all  the  regular  fan  needs  to 
know  about  a  show. 

He  knows  it  means  a  great  cast,  a 
notable  story,  a  first-rate  presentation 
— a  production  as  superb  as  only  Para- 
mount's  resources  in  men,  money  and 
material  can  make  it. 

You  don't  have  to  take  a  chance 
with  your  entertainment  these  days. 

Simply  "see  by  the  papers"  that  it's 
Paramount — and  go!  Millions  are  on

"I  see  a  man — a  dark  man.  He  is  talkins 
earne<;tly  to  a  j-oung  eirl.  She  is  trying  to 
avoid  him.  He  seizes  her  by  both  arms.  They

CRAIG  KENNEDY 

ARTHUR  B.REEVE 

He  is  the  detective  genius  of  our  age.  He 
has  taken  science — science  that  stands  for 
this  age — and  allied  it  to  the  mystery  and 
romance  of  detective  fiction.  Even  to  the 
smallest  detail,  every  bit  of  the  plot  is  worked 
out  scientifically.  For  nearly  ten  years,  Ame'r- 
ica  lias  been  watching  his  Craig  Kennedy — 
marveling  at  the  strantje.  new.  startling  things 
that  detective  hero  would  unfold.  Such  plots 
• — such  suspense — with  real,  vivid  people  mov- 
ing through  the  maelstrom  of  Ii£e ! 
iMt-nclimen  iiavc  mastered  the  art  of 
teiror  stories.  English  writers  have 
Ihrillcd  whole  nations  by  their  artful 
heroes.  Russian  ingenuity  has  fashioned 
wiM  tales  of  mystery.  But  all  these  seem 
ohl-fashioned  —  oUt-of-date  —  beside  the 
iiifmite  variet> — the  weird  excitement  of 
Arthur  B.    Reeve's  tales.

"OH,  MOTHER 

II  story's  accepted! " 


OUT  of  "the  rainbow  gleams  of  her  youthful 
dreams"  has  come  The  Great  Reward!  The 
happy  sequel  to  all  her  burning  hopes — her  eager 
aspirations!  The  magazine  editor  has  accepted  her 
story.      His  letter  brings  the  happy  news. 

She  moves  as  one  in  a  daze.  "Can  Jt  really  be 
true?"  she  asks  herself  over  and  over.  And  all  the 
while  she  glows  with  the  pride  of  authorship,  her 
aspiring  spirit  transformed  in  the  bewilderment  of 
this   new   triumph.      'Tis   life's   deepest   moment    for  her. 

She  has  crossed  the  Golden  Ruhicon .'  Enthralled, 
she  stands  upon  the  threshold  of  a  New  Life!  She  is 
at  last— "AN  AUTHORESS!"  •  The  story  she  has 
written,  filled  with  fresh,  bright  realism,  stirring  inci- 
dent and  sparkling  dialogue — written  out  of  her  very 
heart — painted  in  glowing  words  upon  the  Screen  of 
Romance,    will    be   read   by    thousands,    thousands! 

But  yesterday.  In  her  girlish  fancy,  she  deeply  en- 
vied those  who  live  and  move  in  that  fascinating 
sphere,  the  Realm  of  Authorship.  But  yesterday  her 
hopes  mingled  with  her  fears,  ner  doubts  of  herself. 
her  simple  lack  of  faith  in  her  ability  "TO  WRITE." 
But  yesterday  she  deemed  well-nigh  impossible  the 
triumph  that  has  come  to  her  to-day! 

But  yesterday  her  life  was  a  dull,  drear  grind  in  a 
department  store.  In  her  little  niche  behind  the 
notion  counter  her  girl's  soul  was  slowly  shriveling. 
The  drab,  grey  life  was  deadening  every  spark  of  hope 
within  her.  Thinking  of  her  youth  and  yearnings, 
she  would  oft  hopefully  repeat  to  herself  those  lines 
from  some  beautiful  book,  "It  is  the  Spring!  It  is 
the  Spring!  And  Life  is  so  FL^LL  of  Flowers!  Ah, 
surely  some  of  them  are  MINE!"  But  there  was  the 
monotony,  the  dull  servitude,  from  H  to  6 — it  never 
varied — it  went  on  and  on  and  on— a  dumb  fate  that 
seemed  to  stare  her  in  the  face  forever,  just  as  it 
might  be  pictured  in  a  story  by  O.  Henry. 

Not  that  all  girls  are  unhappy  who  woric  in  stores, 
but  she — she  dreamed  of  higher  things.  She  wanted 
more  out  of  life  than  the  grey,  humdrum  existence. 
Why  should  Success  be  a  thing  OTHERS  could  attain 
and  not  she  ?  She  had  two  good  hands  and  a  brain 
— she  was  intelligent,  observing,  and  though  not  a 
genius,  surely,  she  told  herself,  she  could  learn  to  write 
stories  as  good  as  hundreds  she  had  seen. 

One  day  her  sweet-faced  mother  noticed  a  small 
advertisement  in  a  magazine.  It  said :  "Free  to 
writers — this  wonderful  hook.  Tells  How  to  Write 
Plays  and  Stories."  "Here.  Dorothy  dear,"  said 
Mrs.  Dean,  "here  is  something  about  writing  stories 
and  plays.  Here's  a  concern  offering  a  free  book  on 
the  subject.  Why  not  get  it?  See  what  they  can  do 
for  you?  You  never  can  tell — maybe  you  really  can 
learn  how  to  write  the  way  you've  dreamed  so  long, 
and    just   think    how  wonderful    that    would    be!" 

The  Authors'  Press  has  this  young  woman's  letter 
on  file.  She  wrote  for  our  free  book — and  the  picture 
above  tells  the  happy   sequel. 

This  is  a  trttc  story,  as  startling  as  it  is  romcntic, 
and  here  is  the  most  startling  thing  of  all — a  re- 
markable  discovery  that  will  thrill  ambitious  men 
and  women  of  alt  apes  thmufjlwut  the  -H'orld f  The 
discoz'erv  is  that:  MILLIONS  OF  PEOPLE  CAN 
WRITE'  STORIES  AND  PHOTOPLAYS  AND 
DON'T  KNOW   IT! 

(Seven) 


For  years  the  mistaken  idea  prevailed  that  you  had  to 
have  a  special  knack  in  order  to  write.  People  said  it 
was  a  gift,  a  talent.  Some  imagined  you  had  to  be  an 
Emotional  Genius  with  long  hair  and  strange  ways. 
They  vowed  it  was  no  use  to  try  unless  you'd  been 
touched  by  the  Magic  Wand  of  the  Muse.  They 
discouraged  attempts  of  ambitious  people  to  express 
themselves. 

Yet  only  recently  a  great  English  literary  authority 
declared  that  "nearly  all  the  English-speaking  race 
want  to  -ufritef  It's  a  craz-ing  for  self -expression,  char- 
acteristic of  the  present  century." 

So  a  new  light  has  dawned!  A  great  New  Truth 
that  will  gladden  the  hearts  of  "all  the  English-speak- 
ing race  who  want  to  write!"  Astounding  new 
psychological  experiments  have  revealed  that  "the 
average  person"  may  learn  to  write!  Yes,  write 
stories  and  photoplays;  thrilling,  human,  life-like;  filled 
with  heart-throbs,  pathos,  passion,  pain. 

Yoii  may  learn  it  just  as  you  may  learn  anything  else 
under  the  sun !  There  are  certain  simple,  easy  prin- 
ciples to  guide  you.  There  are  new  methods  that 
produce  astonishing  results  for  beginners,  A  re- 
markable New  System,  covering  every  phase  of  writing, 
has  been  perfected  by  a  great  literary  bureau  at 
Auburn,  New  York,  now  busily  supplying  this  infor- 
mation broadcast.  And  this  New  Method  of  writing 
stories  and  photoplays  is  everybody's  property.  Not  for 
the  select  few.  Nut  for  those  specially  gifted.  Not  for 
the  rich  or  fortunate,  but  for  men  and  women  of 
ordinary  education  and  no  writing  experience  whatever 
— thousands     who     don't    even     dream    they     can     write! 

This  institution  at  Auburn  Is  the  world's  school  for 
inexperienced  authors — a  literary  institute  f<.r  all 
humanity.  And  everybody  is  taking  up  the  idea  of 
writing.  The  fascination  has  swept  the  country  by 
«;torm !  People  ate  dumbfounded  at  the  ease  with 
which  they  learn  to  write! 

You  know  it  was  Shakespeare  who  said:  "All  the 
world's  a  stage  and  all  the  men  and  women  merely 
players."  Lite's  stage  all  around  you  is  filled  with 
people  and  incidents  that  will  make  stories  without 
number.  From  the  great  Screen  of  Humanity  and 
its  constantly  changing  tide  of  Human  Emotions — 
Love,  Hatred,  Jealousy,  Happiness — you  can  create 
endless  interesting  plots  for  stories  antl  photoplays. 
There  is  never  a  lack — it  flows  on  in  an  Endless  Stream 
of  Circumstance — like  Tennyson's  brook — forever  I 
Every  person  you  know  is  a  type,  a  character. 
"Every  house  has  a  story."  And  those  who  dwell  within 
have  impulses,  ideas,  hopes,  fears,  fancies  that  furnish 
material  for  you.  The  daily  newspapers  are  filled 
to  the  brim.  The  Footlights  of  Fate  reflect  scenes  and 
incidents  for    the   Pen  of  Realism. 

There  is  nothing  in  all  this  world  that  so  dominates 
the  heart  and  mind  as  the  fascination  of  WRITING. 
It  gives  you  a  new  power,  a  new  magic,  that  charms 
all  those  around  you.  It  lends  a  new  attraction  to 
your  entire  personality.  Authorship  carries  with  it 
new  honors,  admiration,  respect — in  addition  to  glorious 
material   rewards.

amazing  thing  of  all  is — IT'S  FREE!  This  new  book

Contest  Draws  to  a  Close 

The  remaining  days  of  the  Popularity 
Contest  are  growing  fewer  and  fewer  as 
this  book  goes  to  press.  While  interest 
has  been  rife  thruout  the  entire  contest, 
it  has  never  quite  equalled  that  mani- 
fested during  the  last  week  or  so — with 
everyone — everywliere  working  frantic- 
ally to  give  their  favorite  a  boost  before 
it  is  too  late.  There  are  many  changes 
in  the  positions  of  the  players,  but  there 
is  nothing  final  to  be  surmised  until  the 
last  vote  is  counted  and  the  ultimate  tab- 
ulation completed.  To  arrive  at  the  re- 
sult may  take  longer  than  is  expected, 
but  an  announcement  will  be  made  as 
soon  as  possible.

and 
Her  Car 


V 


Photos  Ity  Alil.e 

Carol  Dempster  has  been 
a  Griffith  player  for  two 
years.  Mr.  Griffith  has 
unusual  faith  in  her  and 
he  has  been  allowing  her 
to  develop  slowly  under 
his  tutelage  —  to  gather 
technique  and  atmosphere 
without  forcing.  You  can 
understand  the  Griffith 
faith  after  meeting-  Miss 
Dempster.     She  can  think 


AN  interview  is  a  trying  mat- 
ter at  be.'it,  but  a  chat  with 
an  actress  who  has  just 
purchased  an  automobile  is — 
well,  difficult.  That  was  just  the 
problem  that  confronted  us  upon 
meeting  Carol  Dempster. 

Miss  Dempster  has  just  pur- 
chased a  car.  And  her  thoughts, 
to  mildly  express  it,  were 
wrapped  up,  centered,  absorbed 
and  completely  engulfed  with  the 
aforementioned  purchase,  a  Chandler  coupe. 

Miss  Dempster  has  been  a  Griffith  player  for  two  years,  but 
in  that  time  she  has  appeared  in  but  three  productions:  "The 
Girl  Who  Stayed  at  Home,"  "Scarlet  Days"  and  the  much- 
t.nlked-aboiit  Griffith  photoplay,  "The  Love  Flower,"  not  yet 
vcliasnl.     Mr.  dilVilli  has  unusual  faith  in  Miss  Dempster  and 


he  has  been  allow- 
ing her  to  deveUip 
slowly  under  his 
tutelage — to  gather 
technique  and  at 
mosphere  without 
forcing,  as  it  were. 
We  can  under- 
stand the  Griffith 
faith  in  Miss 
Dempster  after 
meeting  her.  She 
can  think.  She 
talks  crisply  and 
unaffectedly.  Her 
viewpoint  is  fresh 
and  girlish.  She  is 
ambitious.  But, 
most  of  all,  she  is 
untouched  by 
things  theatrical — 
or  shall  we  say 
cinematic 

Miss  Dempster 
was  born  m  Du- 
luth.  Minnesota. 
Her  father  was  a 
Great  Lakes  cap- 
tain. "From  him 
I  get  my  love  of 
the  water,"  Miss 
Dempster  told  us, 
as  we  sat  on  the 
|X)rch  of  the  Grif- 
fith studio  at  Ma- 
maroneck.  over- 
looking the  Sound. 
\  sloop  was  drift- 
ing picturesquely 
thru  the  grey  haze 
oceanward.  "I 
couldn't  live  w'ith- 
out  the  restlessness 
and  placidity  of  it. 
"We  moved  to 
California  when  I 
was  four,"  went  on 
Miss  Dempster. 
■'There  was  noth- 
ing interestmg  about  that  period.  Just  the  usual  .school  girl- 
hood. 

"Then  the  dance  idea  hit  me.  I  wanted  to  be  an  interpreter 
of  the  classic  muse.  Probably  the  athletic  side  of  it  appealed 
to  me.     You   see,  I'm  an  outdoor  girl.     That's  why  I  love 

motoring.     Now,  my  car " 

"Yes,  go  on,"  we  reminded. 

"Well.  I  became  a  pupil  of  Ruth  St.  Denis  at  her  studio 
estate,  Denishawn.  in  California."  continued  Miss  Dempster. 
"I  studied  with  Miss  St.  Denis  for  a  year  and  a  half.  That 
was  in  19'6and  1917. 

"Of  course.  I  intended  to  seriously  follow  the  dance.  With 
seven  othe..  girls,  I  was  going  on  tour  with  Miss  St.  Denis  and 
mother  was  going  along  as  chaperon.  Included  in  the  eight 
were  two  now  rather  well-known  dancers,  Florence  Andrews, 
now  known  as  Florence  O'Denishawn,  and  Ada  Forman. 

"I  have  often  read  that  Mr.  Griffith  first  saw  me  during  the 
production  of  'Intolerance.'  when  he  used  the  St.  Denis  ballet

in  the  Babylonian  scenes.  In  reality  I  first  met  Mr. 
Griffith  when  he  came  to  visit  our  classes  and 
to  watch  us  work.  Miss  Andrews  and  I  did  play 
bits  in  'Intolerance' — and  very  inconsequential  bits 
they  were.  I  didn't  think  then  that  I  would  be  a 
Griffith  player,  with  a  car  earned  upon  my  own 
salary,  but — — " 

"You  were  just  about  to  explain  how  Mr.  Griffith 
discovered  you."  we  ruthlessly  interrupted. 

Miss  Dempster  went  on.  "Mother's  sudden  ill- 
ness prevented  my  tour  with  Miss  St.  Denis  and  I 
obtained  my  opportunity  with  Mr.  Griffith.  He  first 
used  me  in  'The  Girl  Who  Stayed  at  Home,'  but  I 
was  new  and  crude  to  the  screen.  My  make-up  was 
not  even  p&ssable.  I  was  a  bit  better  used  to  the 
films  when  I  had  my  chance  in  'Scarlet  Days.'  The 
story  of  'The  Love  Flower'  appealed  to  me  when  I 
heard  it  first,  and  I  was  delighted  when  Mr.  Grif- 
fith gave  me  the  opportunity  to  do  it." 

"The  Love  Flower"  was  done  by  Mr.  Griffith  at 
the  time  he  made  his  nearly  ill-fated  trip  to  Bermuda

last  winter  and  at 
the  same  tiine  "The 
Idol  Dancer"  was 
filmed.  "The  Love 
Flower"  was  first 
called  "Black 
Beach"  and  was  to 
be  released  by  Mr. 
Griffith  some  time 
ago.  Rut  the  story  appealed  to  the  pro- 
ducer and  he  purchased  it  back  from  the 
First  National  Exhibitors'  Circuit,  to  which 
it  had  been  turned  over.  Upon  the  conclu- 
sion of  "Way  Down  East,"  Mr.  Griffith 
set  about  shooting  new  scenes  and  com- 
pletely rebuilding  the  production. 

"I  like  'The  Love  Flower,'  "  continued 
Miss  Dempster,  "because  it  gives  me  a 
human  role.  I  do  not  want  to  just  be  an 
ingenue.  They  are  very  sweet  and  pleasant 
to  the  eye,  I  know,  but  I  want  to  mean 
something  more.  I  hope  I  can  always  do 
regular  girls — the  healthy  kind.  I  have  no 
lyric  qualities  and  I  would  be  angry  if  any- 
one said  I  was  cute." 

There  are  not  many  Carol  Dempsters  in 
the  realm  of  the  silversheet,  we  admit. 
She  has.  for  in.stance,  been  devoting  a  large 
part  of  her  time  recently  to  becoming  a 
highly  proficient  swimmer.  That  is,  all  the 
time  she  had  not  given  her  car.

That  Youth  From 
Second  Avenue 


wouldn't  sound  like  hyperbole,  which  has  no 
place  in  a  tale  concerning  him,  I  should  say  ex- 
cessively, and  certainly,  surprisingly,  young. 
His  extreme  youth  impressed  me  first  of  all,  to 
the  exclusion  of  other  things.  I  found  out,  by 
dexterous  inquiry,  that  his  years  number  twenty- 
four. 

He  bears  a  resemblance  to  many  of  the  pho- 
tographs of  Rupert  Brooke,  in  a  certain  sensi- 
tiveness, a  certain  expression.  There  is,  too,  a 
marked  likeness,  especially  photographically,  to 
John  Barrymore.  Incidentally,  Mr,  Coleman 
has  an  immense  admiration  for  Mr,  Barrymore, 
particularly  for  the  lack  of  ostentation  with 
which  he  bears  himself  personally,  "He  is  a 
very  great  artist,"  said  the  younger  man, 

I  asked  Mr.  Coleman  what  he  thought  anent 
the  .subject  of  artists  being  born  rgther  than 
made,  or  vice  versa.  He  said  that  he  thought 
artists  were  born  and  that  then  it  resolved  itself 
into  a  question  of  finding  one's  self.  "To  me," 
he  said  "that  seems  to  be  the  all-important 
thing. 

I  asked  him  about  himself  in  this  particular. 
"Was  there  any  motivating  impulse  theater- 
ward?"  I  wanted  to  know. 

"I  had  an  uncle,"  Mr.  Coleman  said,  telling 
me  his  name,  "who  was  quite  a  famous  Shake-

tumes  given  to  him  by 
said  uncle 


THERE  are  some 
few  persons  who 
make  one  feel 
that  one  is  in  the 
presence  of  artistry, 
in  the  immediate  vicin- 
ity of  the  much  ex- 
ploited but  seldom 
realized  temperament. 

Vincent  Coleman  is  such  a  one. 

Curiously  enough,  despite  the  best  propaganda 
to  the  contrary,  temperament  is  evinced  rather 
by  simplicity  of  speech,  of  manner,  of  thought, 
than  bv  the  eccentricities  of  any  of  these.  The 
true  artist  does  not,  because  he  feels  no  need, 
acquire  an  accent,  a  new  brace  of  parents,  or  a 
country.  He  neither  renames  himself  nor  does 
he  remake  himself.  He  has  essentials  to  deal 
with,  and  the  logical  development  thereof. 

To  wit; 

"I  was  born  on  Second  Avenue,  says  Vmcent 
Coleman;  "my  mother  taught  Sunday-school 
around  the  corner  from  my  birthplace,  so  it  was 
quite  a  family  neighborhood  for  us."  He 
laughed,  (we  had  been  discussing,  amusedly, 
temperamental  acquisitions).  "Someone  once  said 
to  me,  in  speaking  of  the  taking  on  of  foreign 
accents,  that  all  I  had  ever  done  was  to  drop  the 
'devs.  dese  and  does."  "

spearcan  actor  in  liis  time,  but  all  I  can  recall 
his  tellint;  about  in  my  extreme  youth  were 
the  hardships  of  stage  life.  Of  course,  he  was 
at  his  prime  in  the  days  when  everything  was 
made  just  as  hard  for  an  actor  as  things  could 
well  be.  He  narrated  dismal  horrors  of  one- 
night  stands,  lacU  of  funds,  lack  of  engage- 
ments, blasted  hopes  and  blighted  ambitions, 
and  he  was  rather  successful  than  unsuccessful, 
at  that.  Somehow,  I  wasn't  daunted ;  on  the 
contrary,  I  believe  my  appetite,  or  my  natural 
inclination,  was  augmented.  .Still,  I  hardly 
believe  I  can  attribute  my  desire  directly  to 
my  uncle,  either,  unless  subconsciously  .  .  . 
for  farther  back  than  his  remembered  talks, 
when  I  was  the  tiniest  sort  of  a  chap,  not  more 
than  four  or  live,  I  used  to  play  theater. 
I'laying  theater  consisted  of  a  wooden  stage  I 
had  my  father  build  for  me  and  a  number  of 
wooden  spools  reiiresenling  the  actors.  These 
sjiools  I  would  move, back  and  forth,  speaking 
for  each  one  in  turn.  It  was  an  endless  and 
a  tireless  pastime.  Later  on,  reciting  in  front 
of  peojile  took  the  place  of  the  stage  and  the 
wooden  spools.  I  think  I  never  had  the  dif- 
fidence so  many  children  have.  In  fact,  when- 
ever we  had  company,  I  was  quite  insistent 
upon  taking  the  floor  and  deliveritKr  myself  of

Anne? 


Sarah  in  the  acting  line.  A  few,  I  will 
confess,  have  whispered  that  they're  in 
the  game  only  for  the  money,  and  they 
dont  care  a  whoop  for  a  seat  in  the  Hall 
of  Fame — but  I've  always  discovered  that 
these  are  the  ones  who  pay  good  money  to 
personal  press  agents. 

The  ages?  Well,  they  differ,  but  I've 
never  yet  heard  of  a  screen  actress  who 
will  admit  to  being  more  than  twenty- four. 
And  the  marriage  part  of  it !  Screen 
stars,  in  the  ultimate,  are  just  as  human 
as  their  unstarred  brethren.  They're  all 
more  or  less  an.xious  to  have  a  home  and 
family,  altho — and  I  must  confess  again! 
— marriages  in  the  cinema  colony  are  not 
always  guaranteed  to  last  But,  then  what 
of  it? 

All     this     preamble  —  this     innocuous 
piffle — is    merely   an   introduction   lo   the 
very  newest   Universal   star,  a  tiny  little 
mite  of  a  girl  who's  almost  as 
much    like   the   beloved    Mae 
M  .rsh    as     M.     M.     is     like 
herself.     For  Anne  Cornwall, 
when  you  corner  her  on  the 
"set"   or   sit   opposite   her   at 
luncheon,  just  merely  laughs 
when  you  pop  the  four  intro- 
ductories  at  her — large- 
ly, more  or  less,  to  get 
acquainted  —  and    says 
that  she  is  prepared  to 
advance  only  such   in- 
formation    regarding 
herself  as  all  the  Mary

JcsT  what  do  you  like  to  do  ? 
What  is  your  ambition? 
How  old  are  you  ? 

And    whom    would    you

The  foregoing,  you  will  ad- 
mit, are  more  or  less  direct 
questions.  But,  being  an  in- 
terviewer, the  foregoing  are 
the  questions  you  always  think 
to  ask  the  motion  picture 
celebs  when  you  journey  into 
their  native  haunts  to  put  them  on 
paper  for  any  such  publication  as 
The  Classic. 

And,  the  funny  part  of  it  is,  you 
nearly  al.vays  get  the  same  answer 
to  every  (|uery  from  -every  celeb 
you  meet.  It's  always  the  penchant 
of  a  screen  star  to  be  either  literary 
or  athletic ;  to  be  a  motor  enthu- 
siast or  a  baseball  fan ;  to  be  do- 
mestic and  cook  and  sew,  or  to  he 
an  ideal  hul)by  or  wife. 

Ambitions  run  along  the  same 
track.  All  the  photo-famous  whom 
I've  ever  met  always  wish  to  be 
still  more  famous.  \\'ithin  them  is 
a  burning  desire  to  out- Bernhardt 


Around  the  studio,  the

TRUMAN    B.    HANDY 


Miss  Cornwall  is.  I  will  admit,  a  trifle  "different."  She  has 
an  infectious  smile,  a  spontaneous  little  way  of  saying  witty 
things.  She's  not  the  typically  ingenue  type,  but  a  girl  whose 
very  self-consciousness  and  record  of  theatrical  achievements 
prove  that  this  new  little  five-foot  sparkler  has,  as  the  vul- 
garians say,  a  lot  under  her  hat  beside  her  ears. 

Her  ambition  is — and  always  was — to  make  a  name  for  her- 
self in  theatricals.  In  fact,  about  three  years  ago  she  left  a 
very  comfortable  home  in  the  East  to  go  into  the  chorus  ranks 
of  the  musical  comedy,  "Oh,  Lady,  Lady !  '  And  her  ambition 
now  is  to  do  as  good  work  on  the  screen  as  she  possibly  can. 
to  make  all  the  money  she  possibly  can  and  to  be  as  w'ell  liked 
as  is  possible. 

When  I  lunched  with  her  in  the  stuffy  little 
commissary  across  the  road  from  the  Universal 
studios,  she  wore  a  plain,  dark-blue  organdy 
with  one  of  those  trick  rolled  collars.  Her  hair 
was  done  up  rather  high  on  her  head,  to  make 
her,  said  Miss  Cornwall,  as  tall  as  possible.  She 
hates  being  little,  arid  when  Charles  Hertzman, 
the  "U's"  publicity  man  and,  by  chance,  an  old, 
old  friend  of  the  Cornwall  family,  kidded  her 
about  her  diminutiveness,  Anne  pertly  stuck  out 
her  tongue  at  him. 

What  impressed  me  most  about  her  is  her  ex- 
treme similarity  to  Mae  Mar.sh,  She  has  the 
same  sort  of  wistful  smile,  the  same  way  of 
arching  her  eyebrows,  the  same  sad-happy 
little  chirp  in  her  voice,  the  same  somewhat 
nervous  way  of  tugging  at  her  handkerchief. 
She's  more  sprightly,  however,  than  the  famed 
little  "screen  sister,"  and  not  so  pensive.  She's 
never  met  Miss  Marsh,  but  she  thinks  her  . 
"perfectly  adorable." 

And  not  that  she'd  care  to  imitate  her, 
either,  because  Anne  doesn't  care  to  imitate 
anybody.  Ingenues — and  she  admits  being 
one — are  so  stereotyped,  she  declares.  Find- 
ing something  new  and  yet  cute  for  an  in- 
genue to  do  is  like  looking  for  violets  in  De- 
cember.    .-\w fully  difficult !    And  vet,  because

Anne  Cornwall  always 
had  wanted  to  go  on 
the  stage.  So  one  day, 
she  got  herself  a  job 
as  a  chorus  girl  and 
learned  to  dance.  She 
danced  and  san^  for 
two  seasons  until  she 
went  into  pictures  with 
Alice  Brady.  Her  por- 
trayal of  the  ingenue 
role  in  "The  Copper- 
head" with  Lionel  Bar- 
rymore  established  her 


a  girl's  small,  she 
hasn't  any  chance  of 
being  anything  else 
than  a  flapper. 

"When  I  get  old,' 
went  on  Anne, 
thoughtfully,  "I  hope 
that  I'll  have  money — 
enough  not  to  have  to 
work.  I'd  hate  to  be 
a  screen  mother  and 
always  be  reminded 
of  the  time  when  I 
was  young  ami  could  do  pretty  nearly  as  I 
pleased,  so  far  as  health  was  concerned. 
I'd  hate  to  look  in  the  glass  and  realize  that 
I  wasn't  so  fresh-appearing  as  of  yore.  I 
think  I'd  cry.  Then  I'd  spoil  my  make-up 
and  get  bawled  out  by  the  director.  .\nd  I 
do  so  hate  to  be  bawled  out !" 

No  one  would  ever  think  of  bawling  out 
Miss  Cornwall.  Around  the  studio  she's 
just  as  normal  as  any  of  the  girls  who  pur- 
vey soup  in  the  hash-house.  Stardom  hasn't 
affected  her  a  bit.  She  stands  on  stage- 
corrlers.  talking  to  extras  and  property  men, 
and  even  allows  the  supernumerary  kiddies 
to  sit  in  her  lap — quite  unheard-of  prqce- 
dure  from  a  real  star. 

.\1I  her  life  she's  wanted  to  be  an  a  tress. 
Finally  the  desire  got  so  burning  that  she 
couldn't  stand  it  any  longer.  She  simply 
announced  that  she  was  going  to  try  her 
luck  in  the  chorus,  got  herself  a  job  and 
learnt  to  dance.  Her  first  season  was  in  the 
Xew  \nrk  ensemble.  Next  season  saw  her 
doing  a  small  singing  and  dancing  bit  in 
another  musical  comedy,  "Oh,  Look!"  in 
which  the  Dolly  Sisters  and  Harry  Fox 
were  featured.  And  then  one  day  she

With  the  many  avenues  there 
are   to   the   many   thoughts   it 
could    not    thouiihtfully   be 
otherwise.      I    have    come    to 
one  conclusion,  however,  one 
and    one    only- -that    I    know 
absolutely  iwthhui  about  a;iv- 
tliinfi — with  one  exception.     I 
do   believe   that    I   am  begin- 
ning— and  only  beginning — to 
learn  something  about  my  work.     I  am  beginning  to  learn 
something  about  myself  in  connection  with  that  work.    I 
am  beginning  to  disco\er  what  it  is  I  want  to  do  and  how 
it  is_  I  want  to  do  it.    That  is  a  very  great  stride." 
"Tell  me.''  I  said,  "more  specifically,  I  mean." 
"Well,  in  the -first  place,  loving  my  work  as  I  do,  I 
believe  that  it  is  the  greatest  thing  in  life.     What  is  man 
without  work?     I   believe,   for  the  matter  of  that,  that 
work  is  the  greatest  thing  in  the  life  of  all  men.  '  It  is 
.the  rcallv  great  thing,  taken  from  more  than  the  purely 
commercial  or  professional  aspect.     It  is  the  great  thing 
from  a  sorial  valuation." 

"Social?"  Pictures  of  humming  studios,  dusty  loca- 
tions, strenuous  continuity  desks,  etc.,  etc.,  presented 
themsehe-  to  my  dreiseristically  realistic  mind. 


t  Tii-i  nfihpve) 


"Social,  certainly.  You  know,  the  only  worth- 
while persons  in  the  world,  be  they  men  or  women, 
are  the  persons  who  are  doinf/  thiiu/s,  crentiny  things, 
getting  somewhere  or  at  least  imbued  with  the  belief 
that  they  are,  fired  by  an  idealism,  how  formless  does 
not  matter  in  .he  splendor  of  the  person.  The  dilet- 
tante— the  society  'bud' — the  jjrofessional  do-nothing 
— what  are  they?  What  can  they  give?  The  crea- 
tors of  something  or  other  are  the  persons  I  want  to 
be  with,  anyone  wants  to  be  with.  Theirs  is  the  mag- 
netism," theirs  the  chafm.  This  holds  almost  more 
than  true  of  women.  As  a  man  emerges  from  the 
high-school  stage,  (when  almost  anything  does,  so 
long  as  the  eye  is  somewhat  beguiled),  he  becomes 
discriminating,  as  it  were.  The  thing  that  matters, 
then,  in  a  woman,  is  w'hether  or  no  she  is  a  good 
sort ;  whether  she  is,  not  mentally  attractive,  or  phys- 
ically attractive,  but  teinpcramcnlalty  attractive.  To 
my  mind,  'tem|)eramentally  attractive'  sums  up  the 
whole.  I  would  rather  talk  with  one  woman  a  year 
than  flit  from  tea  to  tea,  and  ingenue  to  ingenue. 
There  is  no  stimulus  in  that  sort  of  thing  for  me. 

"You  cant  be  with  the  doers  of  deeds  if  you  are  noi

emanates  from  you,  is  wholly  your  own.  It's 
a  sort  of  bread  and  staff  and  cannot  be  over-

"What  specific  thing  do  you  want  to  do?"  I 
asked. 

"There's  one  specific  thing  I  doiit  want  to 
do — or  be,"  he  said,  with  one  of  his  frequent 
lapses  from  gravity  into  ingenuous  humor, 
(I'd  call  it  "boyish  humor,"  only  I  stand  in 
awe  of  one  of  the  custard  pies  he  has  in  store 
for  certain  of  my  species  of  the  blonde 
variety).

He  literally  spat 
forth  the  words.

Fictionized  from  the  D.  W.  Griffith  Phutofilay

GLADYS   HALL 


"I   DONT  think   I   understand   ..."  the  girl  slirank  into  tlie 
1     chair.     Suddenly  Sanderson's  kisse.s  had  acquired  a  dis- 
taste for  her,  a  shrinking  of  some  super-sensitized  hbers 
within  her  of  which  she  had  become,  suddenly,  aware. 

The  man  laughed.  How  hglit  his  laughter  was!  No  vi- 
brancy, none  of  that  timbre  making  laughter  either  sonorous 
or  imbecile. 

"What  dent  you  understand,  fledgling?  ^'ou  are  here,  with 
me.  We  are  not  married.  The  ceremony  thru  which  your 
virtue  dragged  me  was  a  mock  ceremony,  a  sop  to  your 
scruples,  that  my  hours  of  loxe  might  not  he  dimmed  by  re 
proachfulness.  A  reproachful  woman  is  an  abomination, 
probably  to  the  Lord.  Now,  now  I  am  being  frank,  truthful. 
We  are  not  married,  we  never  were.  You  are  the  timid  coun- 
try lass ;  I  am  the  suave,  mustachioed  villain.  I  have  roo-ned 
you !" 

Anna  put  her  fragile  hands  oxer  her  ears.  Every  added 
word  was  a  stroke,  hurting  her.  .\nd  when  she  stopped  listen- 
ing, memory  assailed  her — and  that  was  worse.  To  a  woman, 
memory  is,  no  doubt,  of  all  things,  the  most  unbearable.  Es- 
pecially where  her  heart  has  been  involved  ... 

It  had  all  been  .so  sudden  a  tempest  in  so  dreamful,  so  tran- 
quil a  life.     She  had  gone,  after  her  father's  death,  to  her 

(Twenty-seven) 


wealthy  aunt's  in  Boston  to  borrow  some  money  for  a  course 
she  had  planned  to  take.  In  a  sense,  it  had  not  been  borrow- 
ing. The  dead  man  was  solely  resiionsible  for  his  sister's  af- 
fluence, and  .\nna  was,  by  every  moral  right,  entitled  to,  not 
bounty,  but  rightful  heritage. 

She  had  arrived  in  Boston  at  night,  and  when  she  arrived 
at  her  aunt's  munificent  residence  a  ball  had  been  in  prog- 
ress. There  had  been  introductions,  among  others,  Lennox 
Sanderson.  She  had  not  realized  how  quaint  a  figure  she  had 
cut,  or  how,  in  the  medley  of  perfumes  and  powders,  bo.xed, 
hoaxed  beauties,  her  fragile  ap[)eal  had  shone  forth,  bell-like, 
wistful,  clear  .  .  .  Lennox  Sanderson  had  lost  his  head.  That 
he  was  in  the  habit  of  losing  it  and  that  it  was  a  none  too 
steady  appendage  to  his  six  feet  of  svelte  good  looks  was  not 
conveyed  to  Anna's  unenlightened  perspective.  She  only  knew, 
very  simply,  that  he  thrilled  her  when  he  bent  over  her  and  talked 
to  her  as  the  poets  had  written,  the  poets  who  had  thrilled  her, 
too,  in  her  romantic  garret,  back  home  ...  So  she  had 
dreamed  that,  some  day,  a  man  would  talk  to  her.  She  had 
dreamed,  too.  that  he  would  bear  the  general  manner  of  Lennox 
Sanderson. 

When  he  asked  her  to  marry  him  she  gave  him  her  heart, 
with  a  little,  throaty  "Yes." 


MOTION   PICTliRE 


He  pleaded  that  his  love  was  consuming,  and  that  he  feared 
obstacles,  hence  his  whirlwind  plan  to  carry  her  off,  at  once, 
and  make  her  his  own.  The  fact  that  her  annt  had  refused 
her  the  aid  she  asked  ;  that  she  felt  very  much  alone  and  very 
sad;  and  that  Lennox  Sanderson  made  her  nerves  dance  like 
tiny  wires  when  h?  came  near  her;  these  things  together  had 
urged  Iter  to  go  .    .    . 

And  then,  after  a  fortnight,  this  .   .    . 

"Do  yoii  understand  nozi.'?"  lie  was  asking.  He  seemed  to 
take,  today,  as  keen,  as  thrilling  a  delight  in  probing  the  wound 
he  had  inflicted  as  he  had,  a  short  time  ago,  delighted  in  lulling 
her  with  the  lights  of  his  fervency. 

"I  dont  see  why  ..."  Anna  stared  up  at  him.  He  had 
said  her  eyes  were  the  blue  of  forget-me-nots.  They  were 
dimmed  to  grey  today,  with  the  tears  she  kept  in  her  heart.

Rut  Anna  did  not  hear  him.  She  had  fainted,  and  when  she 
returned  to  consciousness,  Lennox  Sanderson,  bag  and  baggage, 
had  gone. 

After  her  baby's  birth,  Anna  sought  the  country,  for  work, 
for  some  sort  of  relief  from  all  the  dead  things  pressing  in 
upon  her,  and  about  her  .  .   . 

The  baby  was  dead  .  .  .  her  faith  was  dead  .  .  .  her  heart 
and  all  its  bright  romantic  dreams  was  numbed  .  .  .  She  felt, 
solely,  a  craving  for  the  feel  of  cool  grass,  the  smell  of  new 
flowers  when  the  spring  should  be  enough  advanced,  the  heavy 
repleteness  of  midsummer  in  the  country  when  fields  and  for- 
ests and  gardens  and  homes  were  ripe  and  refulgent. 

The  city  ground  her  down  like  a  monstrous  heel.  Even  as 
it  had.  with  literalness,  ground  her  .    .   . 

And  then  there  was  work.  She  had  to  find  work.  The  only 
thing  she  could  do,  now,  was  some  sort  of  housework.  She 
and  her  father  had  lived  very  simply,  out  of  preference.  They 
had  kept  no  help,  and  she  had  always  been  able  to  please  him. 
He  had  been  fastidious,  too  .  .  .  Once,  she  had  thought  she 
might  write,  write  verse.  That  had  been  when  all  her  illu- 
sions were  singing,  gossamer- 
winged,  in  her  heart. _  It  was 
quite  different  now.  Lennox 
Sanderson,  sneering,  mock- 
ing the  sweetest  gift  she  had 
had  to  give  him  .  .  .  Her 
baby,  dead  .  .  .  Tne 
dreary,  endless  months  just 
passed  .  .  .  Yes,  the  coun- 
try was  best.  The  country — 
and  work. 

The  Bartlett  family  were 
more  or  less  known  to  Anna 
by  hearsay.  They  had  lived 
in  a  neighboring  town,  at 
one  time.  She  had  heard 
that  they  were  a  God-fear- 
ing, kindly  sort  of  family, 
and  when  she  applied  and 
they  agreed  that  she  could  be 
helpful,  she  felt  an  immense 
relief. 

From  the  first  she  warmed 
to  them.  The  Squire,  with 
his  ponderous  voice,  his  pon- 
derous, omnipresent  Bible, 
his  dire  threats  of  the  Law 
and  the  Prophets — and  the 
twinkle  in  his  eyes.  Mother 
Bartlett,  shrewd  and  com- 
fortable. Kate  Brewster,  a 
cousin  who  lived  with  them, 
merry,  robin-like,  jolly,  with 
a  glow  for  the  whole  world 
arid  a  solid  sort  of  belief  that 
the  world  held  an  answering 
glow  for  her.  The  "butter- 
fly professor,"  who  sort  .of 
gamboled  about  the  fields 
with  his  scientific  and  ac- 
quisitive butterfly  net  and 
who  cast,  from  his  remote 
and  vision-seeing  eyes, 
sheep's  glances  at  the  buxom 
Kate..    And  David— — 


"I  dont  think  I  understand . . ." 
the  girl  shrank  into  the  chair. 
Suddenly  Sanderson's  kisses 
had  acquired  a  distaste  fcr  her, 
a  shrinking  of  some  super- 
sensitized  fibers  within  her  of 
which  she  had  become,  sud- 
denly, aware

CLASSIC 


David  was  differ- 
ent. He  was  differ- 
ent from  his  family. 

He  was  different, 

Anna  thought,  in  her 

newly  grave,  ab- 
stract  sort  of  way, 

from    the    whole 

world    as    she    had 

known   it.     He  was 

l)ractical.      He    was 

romantic.     He    was 

kindly.   He  was  safe. 

There    could    be   no 

harm   in  a   life,   she 

thought,  where  the 

men  were  Davi<ls. 
If    her   baby    had 

lived  and  had  grown 

up  to  he  a  woman. 

she  would  have  liked 

her  to  have  had  for 

a  friend  a  man  like 

David. 

When    she    could 

not    sleep    at    night 

because  the  past 

pressed   against   her 

with  sharp,  poisoned 

finger-tips,  Anna 

would  think  of  Da- 
vid's face,  reassur- 
ing, infinitely  .steady. 

and    she    would    be 

calmed  .    .    .  and 

sleep  .    .    . 

She  did  not  think  of  it  as  being  love. 

?^he  did  not  think  of  it  because  she  felt  so  done,  so  dreary, 
of  all  emotions.  Love  had  been  a  blast  from  an  evil-smelling 
furnace — it  had  seared  her  and  then  cast  her  forth — so  much, 
so  little  for  love.  But  David  had  not  been  seared.  His  had 
been  a  tine  reserve  and  a  high  dreaming.  Thus  far  in  his 
simple,  hard-working  life  no  person  had  touched  this  reserve 
or  pierced  this  isolated  dreaming.  It  had  taken  Anna's  deli- 
cate white  face,  her  dream-hallowed,  dream-emptied  eyes,  her 
uncertain,  yet  .skilful  white  hands,  her  fragile  body  wherein,  he 
thought,  dwelt  a  waxen  white  flower  in  lieu  of  a  soul  .  .  . 
The  Bartlett  family  had  taken  it  for  granted,  after  the 
matter-of-fact  manner  of  such  ])eople.  that  David  would,  one 
convenient  day.  wed  Kate  Brewster.  It  was  so  obviously  and 
comfortably  the  thing  to  do. 
Kate  was  on  the  premises,  in 
the  first  place.  They  had  al- 
ways been  chyms,  in  the  sec- 
ond place.  Thirdly,  she  would 
make  a  good,  sensible  wife  for 
David,  who  was  a  bit  inclined 
toward  the  whimsical,  and  a 
capable,  lovely  mother  for  his 
children.  In  the  minds  of  the 
Squire  and  his  good  wife  -the 
wedding  was  as  good  as  con- 
summated. 

They  were  little  given  to 
subtleties,  the  Squire  and  his 
wife,  and  youth  was  very  far 
behind  them.  They  did  not 
bethink  themselves  that  the 
healthy  comradeship  of  David 
and  Kate  was  the  most  power- 
ful obstacle  to  their  marriage; 
nor  did  they  sense  the  drift  of 
things  with  the  "Butterfly 
Man,"  as  they  called  thi;  young 
scientist,   with   the  eager  eyes

Certain   persons,   it   w'ould   seem,   move   in   certain   circles. 

However  divisible  their  interests,  their  hearts,  their  essential 

lives,  their  paths  seem  to  twine  and  intertwine  with  an  almost 

deliberate  insistency. 

Lennox  Sanderson  happened  to  have  a  country  place  almost 

adjoining  the  Bartlett  farm. 

He  also  happened  to  be  occupying  the  place,  which  was  an 

infrequent  occurrence.     He  was  occupying  it   for  a  twofold 

reason.  The  first  was  a  sort 
of  necessity.  He  had  been  hit- 
ting rather  a  desperate  pace,  in 
town.  He  wa.sn't  as  young  as 
he  had  been.  His  physician 
had  advised  him  .  .  .  rest  .  .  . 
perfect  quiet  .  .  .  the  usual 
routine.  He  had  rested  and 
had  been  quiet,  and  then  he  had 
seen  Kate  Brewster.  .Xfter  the 
first  sight,  he  assured  himself 
of  a  second,  then  a  third,  etc. 
The  second  time  he  beheld  her 
with  her  Butterfly  Man.  They 
had  been  skimming  over  the 
fields  together  and  Sanderson 
had  not  got  a  look  at  her  eyes. 
They  had  been  on  the  Butter- 
fly Man,  so  he  couldn't.  If 
he  had  he  might — might — have 
had  the  discrimination  to  back 
out.  There  was  love  shining 
with  a  glowing  frankness  in  the 
eyes  Kate  turned  to  the  lovable, 
whimsical   Birtterfly  Man. 


And  then  he  had  seen 
Kate  Brewster.  After  the 
first  sight  he  assured  him- 
self of  a  second,  then  a 
third,  etc.  The  second 
time  he  beheld  her  with 
her  Butterfly  Man 


Later  on,  Sanderson  made  the 
acquaintance  of  the  Bartlett.s. 
Kate  was  his  motive.  .She  gave 
him  a  freshened-up  feeling.  Af- 
ter the  languid,  orchidaceous 
growths  he  had  been  run- 
ning about  with  in  town — 
after  Anna  Moore,  with 

her  pallor  and  her  forget-me-not  eves 

Like  all  small  natures,  he  hated  the  persons  he  had 
hurt.  He  hated  them  unreasonably,  and  because  he  knew 
it  to  be  unreasonable  he  hated  the'm  all  the  more.  Anna 
he  hated  peculiarly.  She  disturbed  him  in  the  most  pri- 
mary ways.  She  came  between  him  and  his  later  amours. 
She  came  between  him  and  food,  between  him  and  sleep. 
She  was  the  motivating  reason  for  his  having  to  seek 
the  farm.     Whenever  he  saw  a  baby,  he  cursed. 

The  first  day  he  went  to  the  Bartlett  farm  he  saw  her. 
First,  he  could  not  be  sure.  It  was  as  if  across  tlie  bright 
g:leam  of  a  pearl  an  irreverent  hand  had  drawn  a  veil. 
She  wore  black,  too,  and  across  the  palpable  invitation  of 
her  youth  there  had  been  an  invasion  .   .   . 

The  whole  thing  was  abominable  to  him.  He  felt  out- 
raged and  personally  insulted.  Resides,  he  had  other  tish 
to  fry — what  would  the  buoyant  Kate  Brewsfer  think ': 
Kate,  with  her  untarnished  \ision  of  men  and  things - 
What  would  young  David  tliink.  the  Squire,  the  Butter- 
fly Man.  if  this  girl's  sordid  tale  got  out  among  them  : 
.\nd  it  would.  Inevitably,  it  would.  Women  could  never 
keep  a  secret.  A  moment  of  hysteria,  a  touch  of  enif)- 
tionalism  .  .  .  .V  small  town,  too  .  .  .  the  gossips 
would  ferret  it  forth.  There  was  the  Perkins  person, 
Martha  Perkins,  who  lived  on  the  dregs  of  the  sins  of 
others  .  .  .  Martha  would  have  it,  assuredly.  .Already, 
no  doubt,  the  slim,  black-clad  figure  of  .\nna  Moore, 
moving  about  with  the  wi.stful  smile,  the  eyes,  still  blue, 
but    hurt   with  "her   broken   dreaming,   already    Martha 


MOTION   PICTl'HE 

Perkins  was 
fitting  some 
sort  of  past  to 
Anna  Moore. 
Sooner  or  later, 
the  past  would 
fit  Anna  .  .  . 
and  himself, 
Lenno.s  San- 
derson. 

It  was  easy 
to  draw  .Anna 
aside.  Her 
first  glimpse  of 
him  had  hyp- 
notized her, 
with  the  fear  a 
bird  feels  of  a 
snake.  He  had 
hurt  her  so 
that  helpless- 
ness enveloped 
her  at  his  pres- 
ence. 

"You   must 
leave  here,"  he 
told    her.     the 
rasp  of  his  im- 
patience rough- 
ening the  silken 
tones  of  his 
customary 
voice;    "you 
have  no  right, 
my  poor  girl, 
to    foist   your- 
self  as   what 
you    ai'e    not 
upon   these   people.     You    must   know   the    i^quire's   opinion

cially with  a  young  girl'  on  the  premises — a  nd  a  young  man. 
Where  are  your  sensibilities,  my  good — er — .Anna?" 
Anna  raised  her  hand.     Because  it  quivered  and  she  could

not  stop  its  quivering,  she 
felt  a  loathing  of  herself. 
He.  being  he,  would  attrib- 
ute the  quivering  to  quite 
an  erroneous  vvell-siiring. 

"You."  she  managed,  at 
length,  "it  is  you  who  must 
go."  '  * 

"I?  I?  But,  my  dear 
girl,  how  absurd !  I  have  a 
home  here.  I — I  have  in- 
terests here." 

"So  have  I.  I — I  have 
to  live." 

"Of  course,  of  course. 
That  goes  without  saying. 
But  not  here.  Not  among 
this  sort  of  people.  Not — 
surely  I  do  not  have  to  be 
franker  than  I  am?" 

"You  are  here — among 
this  sort  of  people " 

"That  is  quite  different. 
I  am  a  man.  You  have 
not,  it  seems,  quite  'caught 
on'  yet.  There  is  the  ques- 
tion, too,  of  desirability." 

Anna  set  her  small  chin, 
and  into  her  blue,  forget- 
me-not  eyes  there  crept 
something  akin  to  steel. 
David's  face  came  before 
her,  with  its  unquestioning 
tenderness,  its  calm,  its  in- 
effable assurance.  "I  am 
not  going,"  she  said,  and 
was  saved   further  dispute 

by  the  boisterous  arrival  of  Kate  Brewster,  her  Butterfly  Man 
in  tow. 

Nevertheless,  with  the  perspicacity  of  persons  to  whom 
mental  sewerage  is  the  everyday  fare,  Sanderson  was  right  when 
he  presupposed  that  Martha  Perkins  would  "get  a-hold"  of 
Anna's  past.    He  had  never,  however,  been  so  optimistic  as  to 


And  love  is  the  con- 
queror, and  there  is  both 
a  quick  and  a  dead  .  .  . 
her  eyelids  fluttered  under 
his  breath;  her  hands 
stirred  to  meet  his;  her 
lips  moved  and  uttered  his 
name  .   .   . 


suppose  that  .she  would  only  get 
a-hold  of  ha\j  of  it — Anna's  half. 
Such  was  the  case. 

How  Martha  found  it  out,  by 

what  channel.  Sanderson  did  not 

know,  nor  does  it  matter.     The 

outstanding  fact   was 

painfully  sufficient  unto 

itself  .   .   . 

Anna  had  been  with  the  Bartletts  for  nearly  a 
year — it  would  have  been  a  year  in  the  spring. 
During  that  time  there  had  grown  across  the  rough 
edges  of  her  hurt  a  sort  of  healing  j)eace.  David  had 
placed  it  there.  His  touch  had  been  sweet  and  sure. 
Not  once  had  he  failed.  His  sensibilities  were  deli- 
cately fine  and  unerringly  true.  The  day  before 
Martha  Perkins'  visit  he  had  told  Anna  of  his  love 
for  her.  Sitting  before  the  fire,  she  had  dreamed  the 
dream  he  sketched  for  her  in  the  glowing  of  the 
coals — and  had  said  good-by  to  it.  David  was  too 
sweet  ...  too  sweet  .  .  .  Like  wants  like  .  .  . 
She,  she  who  thru  him  had  learnt  love,  real  love,  to 
come  to  him  dragging  the  tatters  and  remnants  of  her 
griefs  as  offering  .   .  . 

"I  wish  that  I  could,"  she  told  him  wistfully. 
"Then  you  dont,  dear?"  he  had  asked,  so  scfftly. 
He  seemed,  always,  to 
know  that  she  needed  a 
gentle  touch   .    .    . 

"Yes,  I  do."  They 
dealt  in  simplicities.  "I 
do  .  .  .  but  that  isn't 
the  jiart  that  mat- 
ters ..." 

"It   is   all  that   mat- 
ters .   .   .     Why.  Anna, 
love  ..."

It  seemed,  to  the  stricken 
group  at  the  table,  al- 
most as  tho  a  wraith,  a 
ghost,  an  unreality,  were 
passing  from  them.  She 
went  so  noiselessly,  so 
unprotestingly,  so  vaguely 
and  yet  so  definitely,  that 
it  did  not  seem  as  tho  it 
could  be  she,  delicate  as 
had  been,  invariably,  her 
presence  among  them

TIE  gentle  art  of 
interviewing 
holds  many 
temptations,  even 
for  the  most  sea- 
soned. One  resists 
or  succumbs  ac- 
cording to  one's 
individual  resistive 
powers.  I  have 
just  encountered  an 
overwhelming 
temptation  and, 
modestly  enough,  I 
may  add,  have  resisted  it. 

I  was  tempted  to  call  this  interview  "Wh<i 
Took  the  Tea  Out  of  Tearle?" 

It  is  only  fair  to  Mr.  Tearle,  to  the  gentle 
reader,  not  to  mention  myself,  to  again  re- 
iterate that  I  haz'c  resisted,  not  without, 
however,  succumbing  to  the  lesser  evil  of 
narrating  the  con(|uered  Waterloo. 

It  all  arose,  the  temjnatinn  and  the  vic- 
tory, too.  from  a  remark  made  by  Mr. 
Tearle  as  we  sat.  and  /  sipped  tea  at  Rei- 
senwebcr's.  where,  for  the  past  ten  years, 
Mr.  Tearle  has  stopped  while  in  New  York. 

I  had  commenced  my  tea,  having  had 
reason  to  suppose,  from  a  conflict  of  time, 
that  Mr.  Tearle  was  not  going  to  appear. 
When  he  did,  a  bit  out  of  breath,  with 
rumpled  hair  and  his  wife  reminding  him 
that  she  had  /'rrnoK.s/y  reminded  him  of 
this,  I  said,  "Wont  you  join  me!'" 

He  replied  that  tea  was  one  liquid  he 
could  never  learn  to  imbibe,  and  this  despite

what  the  individual  can  do  with  environment. 

"There  are  three  things."  he  said,  rather  in  the  man- 
ner of  a  reverie,  "that  I  cannoi  understand — tea,  col- 
lege men  and  society  girls." 

I  didn't  care  very  much  about  the  psychological 
aversion  to  tea.  but  college  men  .  .  .  and  society  girls 
...   I  made  inquiries. 

".'n  England,"  he  said,  "all  men  are  college  men,  so 
to  speak.  The  term  a  college  man,  said,  in  .America, 
with  such  a  mark  of  differentiation,  always  amuses  and 
rather  puzzles  me.  It  is  the  same  with  'society  girls.' 
What  arc  'society  girls'?  Which  are  they?  How  is 
one  to  know  them?  By  what  earmarks  are  they 
distinguishable?  I  fail  to  get  the  nice  discrimina- 
tion." 

"Speaking  of  girls,"  I  said,  "what  sort  of  girl  do  you 

prefer?  Not 
to  be  so  banal 
as  to  say

years,  (a  give-away  on  my  age, 
but  I'm  wonderfully  well  preserved, 
dont  you  think?),  arid  my  family 
have  been  of  the  itage  for  God 
knows  wlien.  Knowing  them.  I 
understand  them,  and,  understand- 
ing them,  I  love  them.  That  is  all. 
What  can  I  get  from  persons  who 
do  not  interest  me  ?  Mutual  inter- 
est is,  it  seems  to  me,  the  only  coin 
of  advantage  in  the  human  relation- 
ship." 

"Pictures?"  I  said,  and  paused 
suggestively.  I  surmised  that  the 
single  word  would  open  up  a  held 
of  spoken  thoujrht.  Mr.  Tearle  has 
a  habit,  a  handsome  habit,  we  ad- 
mit, with  obviousness,  of  sort  of 
gazing  into  space  and  putting  some 
naive  thought  into  words. 

"At  present,"  he  said,  "I'm  free- 
lancing it.  Selznick  wants  me  to 
sign  up,  but  no  three-year  contracts 
for  mine.  I'd  hate  the  bondage, 
I'm  afraid.  Nor  electric  signs, 
either."  He  added,  'I'd  never 
know  whether  I  were  Conway 
Tearle  or  a  breakfast  food.  It 
would  prove  confusing." 

"But  ambitions?"  I  per- 
sisted. 

He   said,    irrelevantly, 
"I've  a  country  place,  and 
I    get    my   pleasure    there. 
That's  ambition, 
of  a  sort.     Per- 
haps the  truest. 
Of    course,     I

"I  played  Hamlet  when  I 
was  eighteen.  What  am- 
bition could  I  have  now?" 
asked  Mr.  Tearle  —  and 
the  interviewer,  hardened 
by  past  experience,  gasped 
with  surprise  that  there 
existed  a  film  player  who 
had  no  desire  to  out- 
Herod  Herod! 


wouldn't  want  to  lie  down  and  do  noth- 
ing. The  punch  of  pleasure  would  forth- 
with go  at  the  same  time.  Still — ambi- 
tion— I  played  Hamlet  when  1  wa;^ 
eighteen.  What  ambition  could  I  h;ive 
now  ?  '  I  played  it  abominably,  no  doubt, 
but  I  played  it,  nevertheless.  I  had  one 
other  ambition,  but  it  was  nipped  in  the' 
bud — by  John  Barrymore.  I  wanted  to 
do    Jekyll    and    Hyde    for    the    screen. 

Otherwise "     He  waved  a  disclaiming  hand. 

"How  about  financial  ambitions?"  I  urged. 
"I  dont  know  anything  about  them,"  he  said.  "These  Alad- 
din Lamp  salaries  are  all  out  of  my  line.  I've  worked  for  my 
living  and  I've  never  had  any  mint  poured  into  my  pockets  for 
so  doing.  I  dont  know  how  they  do  it.  I  dont  know  anything 
about  it.  .'^ome  one  wrote  an  interview  with  me  once  and 
called  it  'Hard  Luck  Tearle' — and  that  will  tell  you  a  story  in 
it.self.  It's  like  tlie  Jekyll  and  Hyde  episode — sheer  hard  luck 
plus  hard  work !" 

There  then  appeared  Mrs.  Adele  Rowland  Tearle  w^ith  an- 
nouncejnent  of  the  car  and  an  impending  date,  and  "Hard 
Luck  Tearle"  excused  himself.

There's  no  pleasing  these  comedy  bath-

Letter  of  a 
Leading  Man  to 
His  Interviewer 


f  : 


Leading  Man,  et  al. 
Recipient /of  letter) 


Charles  Meredith 
.     .     Olga  Shaw 


LAST  week   I   went  to  tin 
Talmadge  studio  to  in- 
terview   Charles    Mere 
ditli.   leading  man    for  Cor> 
stance  Talmadge. 

I  did — so  to  speak. 

That  is  .   .   . 

Charles  Meredith  is  a 
very  serious  young  man. 
He  is  a  worker,  and  it 
was  quite  glaringly  ap- 
[larent  to  me,  desiiite  his 
regrets  and  his  infallihie 
courtesy,  that  his  work 
comes  first  and  his  pub- 
licity second.  Which  is, 
after  all.  being  the  true 
devotional  to  the  ( i.  .\.  P. 
(Great  American  Pub- 
lic) 

In  other  words,  we 
had  a  few  snatched 
words  in  between  scenes 
and  close-ups  and  stills 
and  various  other  inte- 
gral parts  of  an  actor's 
day  in  a  studio.  I  would 
achieve  a  "Do  you  believe 
in  the  uplift  of  the " 


And  he  would  say,  "Well,  now,  I'll  tell 

you "      And    then    some    stentorian 

voice  would  roar,  "Mr.  Mer-e-dith  I" 
And  there  I  would  be,  interrogatively 
suspended  in  mid-air. 

This  continued  for  three  or  four 
hours.  It  had  something  of  the  effect 
of  a  mental  treadmill.  Also  an  endur- 
ance test.  When  that  petered  out,  I  said, 
desperately,  "Constance  is  waiting  for 
you  now,' Mr.  Meredith  .  .  .  I'll  tell 
you  .  .  .  suppose  you  twite  me  .  .  . 
write  me  a  letter  .  .  .  just  telling  me,  im- 
pressionistically.  some  of  the  things  we 
have  tried  to  enunciate,  not  to  say  eluci- 
date, today." 

Mr.  Meredith, 
lorjking  rather 
worried,  as- 
sented. "I'll  do 
that,"  he  prom- 
ised; "I'm  aw- 
fully sorry 
about  today.  I 
hope  you  wont 
think — things  go 
this  way  some- 
times,    you 

know " 

I  left  him 
still  wearing 
the  worried 
look.  He  is  a 
conscientious 
person, 
you  know. 


Charles  Meredith 
studied  architecture 
in  college,  and  it  was 
while  applying  for  a 
job  to  do  the  scenic 
"investiture"  of  a 
Broadway  produc- 
tion that  he  was  of- 
fered a  good  part 
for  the  stage,  which 
began  his  profes- 
sional career 


(Thirty-six) 


A  feu-  days  later  his  letter  came.    It  is  now  here,  on  my  desl<.     It 

Ms  written  in  green  ink  upon  hotel   stationery.     It  covers  several 

pages  and  keeps  all  its  ])roniises.     Because  of  these  and  other  things, 

it  tells  something  of  him  better  than  I  could  do.     Here  are  a  few 

excerpts : 

First,  he  observes  that  for  one  of  the  "literati"  to  express  them- 
selves thru  the  medium  of  ink  may  be  all  very  satisfactory  and  well, 
but  .  ,  .  ".\s  for  an  actor,"  he  writes,  "really  interesting  the  pub- 
lic thru  another  medium  than  his  chosen  one — well,  it  is  too  much 
to  expect."  He  adds,  ".\s  for  one  really  saying  what  one  thinks  of 
any  art  popular  in  our  jiresent  stage  of  civilization — well,  it  would 
be  extremely  easy  to  become  as  unpopular  as  Schopenhauer  is  with 
a  debutante." 

After  a  few  further  remarks  anent  the  inability  of  hiuTSelf  in  par- 
ticular to  ])resent  a  picture  of  himself  in  words,  (we  adtnit  the  difii- 
culty  thru  precedent,  but  not  by  .■ichievement),  he  becomes  agreeably 
autobiographical. 

Hid  says:  "1  ha\e  only  done  ten  pictm'es.  but  have  been  \ery 
haiipy  and  fortunate  in  being  with  very  hue  and  lovely  peo])le,  and, 
of  course,  this  made  the  last  eleven  months  more  than  enjoyable. 
These  so-nice  ]ieo])le  are  Marguerite  Clark,  Marjorie  Wilson.  Mr. 
King  Vidor  and  his  charming  wife;  lilancbe  .Sweet.  Mary  Miles 
Minter.  Constance  Talmadge  and  the  lovely  Ethel  Clayton. 

"I,  like  everyone  else  in  the  profession,  perhaps,  am  looking  for- 
ward to  the  time  w  hen  I  can  be  a  p.irt  of  an  organization  presenting 
]iictures  in  which  1  might  play,  but  in  which  I  might  also  have  a 
large  ]iart,  sucli  as  selection  of  story,  of  director  and  organization 
and  a  sort  of  general  interest  and  super- 
vision of  the  entire  production. 

"As  I  spent  a  number  of  years  in  col- 
lege,  studying  architecture,    I    feel 
I  have  a  right  as  well  as  a  desire  to 
put  my  knowledge  of  this  subject  to 
some  use.    .\lso, 
I     designed     the 
scenic    'investi- 
ture' of  a  num- 
ber   of    Broad- 
way productions 


Mr.  Meredith  feels  that 
the  personal  elements 
in  the  life  of  an  artist 
should  be  given  to  the 
public  only  thru  the 
work    that    artist    does 


l.y  r.v.ms.  I..  A. 


of  a  cou]>le  of  years 
ago.  That,  in  f;ict.  is 
how  T  started  in  the 
]irofcssion.  I  went  to  an  of- 
fice to  in(|uire  f  r  a  commis- 
sion of  this  nature,  and  as  I 
entered  the  'man  at  the  desk' 
exclaimed  that  I  was  just  the  type  he  wanted  and  offered  me  a 
good  p.irt  at  a  too-generous  salary — and  here  I  am!  .\fter  that 
engagement  I  played  in  various  |)roduclions  on  Broadway  for 
almost  two  years,  culminating  in  the  leading  role  in  William  Fav- 
ersham's  production  of  '.\llegiance'  al  the  Maxine  l'".lli('t  Theater. 
I  baxe  Ijeen  out  of  college — Carnegie  Institute  of  Technologv  at 
Pittsburg — three  years  this  June.  There — now  you  have  mv  long 
.■ind  'interesting-to-110-one'  career,  but  /  have  enjoyed  it,  ami  espe- 
cially the  fine  peo|i!e  with  whom  .1  have  asMiclated  in  the  prn- 
fession." 

Mr.  Meredith  goes  on  to  say  that  he  feels  the  personal  elements 
in  the  life  of  an  artist  should  be  given  to  the  |)ublic  only  tliru  the 
woik  lh;jt  artist  does.  It  "tells."  he  says.  He  says:  "Whether  an 
actor  should  'feel'  the  emotions  he  iiortrays  has  been  an  ojien 
(|uestion  as  long  as  there  has  been  a  theater,  but  there  seems  to  be 
some  agreement  to  (he  fact  that  he  must  be  capable,  at  any  rate,  of 
ex|)eriencing  these  emotions  to  a  uinsiderable  degree.  The  crux 
of  the  matter  is  not  the  fact  of  it.  but  the  capahllitv  of  fact. 
Therefore,  any  innate  refinement  of,  and  sensitive  reaction  to,  emo- 
tions in  geiier.'d  could  best  be  seen  in  an  actor's  work,  ]irovided  Iiis 
part  were  in  any  degree  ailequate  to  his  skill." 

There  follovvs  another  plaint  ;\bout  the  inade<|uacy  of  the  written 
vMiicl  in  this  specific  instance,  then  Mr,  Meredith  launches  bravelv

A  Grown-Up 
Ingenue

ELIZABETH   PELTRET 


So,  being  of  a  superstitious  temperament,  I  sat  quite 
still,  near  the  Fifth  Street  entrance,  and  watched  the 
crowds  come  and  go,  paying  particular  attention  to 
those  girls  who  were  small  and  young  and  fluffy. 
This  was  more  in  the  nature  of  a  pastime  than  any- 
thing else,  for  she  was  to  have  me  paged  as  soon  as 
she  came  in. 

There  were  a  number  of  amusing  false  alarms.    One  I 
remember  particularly — a  girl  wearing  a  bizarre  little  hat, 
made-up  face,  blouse  practically  sleeveless,  skirt  about 
two  inches  below  her  knees  and  stockings  of  so  open- 
work a  pattern  that  they  looked  more 
like  a   species   of  very   wide  cobweb 
than  lace.    A  man  sitting  across  from 
me  looked  at  the  stockings  at  the  same 
time  I  did,  our  eyes  met,  and  we  both 
laughed.     The  girl  went  directly  to  a 
bell-boy,  standing  over  against  a  post, 
and  I  waited  to  hear  my  name  called. 
But  she  was  looking  for  some  one  else, 
and  I  settled  back  in  my  chair  again. 

I  was  not  surprised  that  Betty  Bou- 
ton  should  be  late.     .She  was  leaving 
for  New  York  within  the  next  two

MACK  Sf.nnp.tt  recently  told  Betty  Bou- 
t(in  that  there   was  one   thing  wliicli 
might  disqualify  her  from  making  a 
n-ally  great  success  in  moving  pictures. 

•'What  is  that?"  she  asked. 

"You  liave  too  much  education,''  he  an- 
swered. 

However,  that,  as  Ruddy  K.  might  siy, 
is  another  story.  This  is  the  record  of  a 
meeting  which  came  very  near  ne\er  taking 
place  at  all. 

Three   o'clock,   tlirce-fiftccn,   three-forty, 
three-hfly-five,  the  minutes  i)assed  while  I 
sat  in  the  lobby  of  the  Hotel  .Mexandria  in 
Los  .\ngcles  waiting  for  Betty  li(JUton  and  amusing  myself 
by  >ceing  if  I  could  identify  her  on  her  entrance.     At  this 
ti'me,  1  had  never  seen  her  either  on  or  off  the  screen  or 
stage.     1  had  heard,  of  course,  that  she  had  distinguished 
herself,  not  only  bv  her  work  in  su]iport  of  such  .stars  as 
Mary   Pickford,   Marguerite  Clark,   William   Farnum  and 
Douglas  I'airbanks,  but  also  by  the  way  in  whicli  she  played 
ii  leading  iiart  in  tlie   Mar-hall   Xeilan   production,  "Dont 
I'.ver  Marry,"  which  had  n(jt  been  given   its  Los  Angeles 
showing. 

We  had  agreed  to  meet  on  the  balcony  at  '  the  -Me.x     at 
three  o'clock,  hut   I  arrived  to  lind  the  balcony  closed  for 
repairs  and  tlic  lobliy  crowded,  not  only  with  guests  and 
pc(*ple   frtini  outside  there  by 
appointment,  lait   with  work- 
men   in    white    overalls    who 
seemed,  literally,  to  swarm  all 
o\er  the  place.    One  could  not 
turn    one's    head    williout    a 
scaffolding    appearing    in    the 
line  of  vision,  nor  move  with- 
out being  in  some  danger  of 
walking    under    a    slepladder. 


Betiy  Bouton  has  distin- 
guished herself  by  her 
screen  work  with  Mary

SAID  the  M.  K.  to  the  Town  Tattler, 
'  Polly,  Reggie  Irving  is  in 
trouble  with  his  wife." 

Said  the  Town  Tattler  to  the 
M.  E.,  "Heavens,  they've  jiist  vyent 
and  did  it.     What's  the  racket?" 

"That's  just  it.  There  isn't  any 
racket." 

"You  mean  .   .   .  .'" 

"I  mean  that  Angelica  Irving  was 
and  is  a  sensation  seeker.  She  mar- 
ried Reggie  because,  to  the  best  of 
her  fond  belief,  he  was  a  devil.  He 
turns  out  to  be — a  husband.  An- 
gelica is  throwing  fits." 

Polly  Hathaway,  known  as  the 
Town  Tattler,  with  a  perfectly  repu- 
table reputation  for  doing  and  un- 
earthing    disreputable     things,     ele- 


Then  followed  perfumed 
notes.  The  perfume  was 
what  might  be  described 
as  violent.  It  assailed  the 
nostrils  in  whatever  part 
of  the  house  one  happened 
to  be  in 


vated  her  perfect  e)c 
brows.      "What,"    she 
demanded,  "and  where 
do  I  figure  in  ?" 

The  M.  E.  f^xed  her 

with  a  contemplative 

eye.     "Cant  you   .    .    . 

er  .   .  .  write  him  up.'" 

he  suggested.     "Your  colyum  has  given  more  than 

one  man  a  scarlet  aureole.  ' 

"But  this — this  must  be  all  imagination.  I  demand 
an  increase  in  salary.  I  have  to  manufacture  the 
man's  sins  for  him.     Idiotic  !" 

Nevertheless,  Polly  got  busy.  After  a  bit  of  work 
the  situation  took  ho'ld  of  her  imagination,  and  Polly 
was  llicre  with  the  imagination — especially  when  it 
came  to  scandals.  The  idea  of  Angelica  wedding 
Reggie  for  the  thrills  he  could  give  her,  only  to  be 
confronted  with  the  daily  and  nightly  view  of  carpet- 
sli])i)ered  respectability,  was  enough  to  jirod  her  femi- 
nine sympathies.  None  J<new  better  than  she  what 
life  would  be  like  without  scandals.  No  doubt  An- 
gelica had  been  dutifully  brought  up.  Polly  had 
been.  Such  being  the  case,  scandal  in  one  form  or 
another  was  her  just  meed  and  due. 

Polly  took  pen  in  hand  and  waxed  eloquent. 
Result:    the  colyum  called  "The  Tattler"  of  The- 
Suriety  Xcws  fairly  blazoned  innuendo,  some  of  it 
none  too  veiled,  anent  the  doings  of  the  "debonair 
dilettante,  Reggie  Irving." 

Reggie,  in  his  slippers,  feet  slightly  elevated  above 
the  ground,  was  astounded  and  indignant.  He  waved 
the  paper  at  Angelica,  his  voice  quavered,  he  de- 
nounced the  iniquitous  press  and  vowed  he  would 
institute  libel  proceedings,  his  face  was  very  red  and 
his  hands  pawed  the  air.  Angelica  was  secretly 
ecstatic.  Reggie,  she  thought,  was  acting  perfectly 
(/uilty.     After  all,  she  had  not  been  duped  nor  de- 


(Thirt;i-nine) 


Reggie  agreed  to  the 
party.  It  was  to  take 
place  in  the  most  noto- 
rious place  along  the 
coast.  "No  one  who  goes 
there  is  quite  the  same 
afterwards,"  said  Nita,  en- 
thusiastically 


ceived.     The  man  she  had  mar- 
ried was  a  perfectly  good  devil. 


He  was  fast.  He  was  dissolute. 
He  was  a  heartbreaker.  a  home- 
wrecker,  an  insidious  Lothario. 
He  had  married  her  .  .  .  well, 
put  it  down  to  infatuation.  Her 
job  would  be  to  see  that  the  fu- 
ture affairs  did  not  go  too  far. 
If  all  "The  Tattler"  said  were  true  .  .  .  heavens,  how  had  he 
accomplished  so  much  in  the  past  fortnight,  home  as  he  was 
practically  all  of  the  time.  What  a  consummate  villain  he 
must  be!  The  "debonair  dilettante"  .  .  .  just  what  she  had 
thought  him!  And  he  was  hers!  She  regarded  him  witli  a 
thrill  of  ])ride  in  her  own  prowess.  Not  every  woman  could 
have  so  neatly  caught  and  impaled  this  butterfly  on  the  wing ! 
Kverywhere,  no  doubt,  he  had  trodden  upon  the  hearts  of 
women  .  .  .  hers  he  had  not  been  able  to  trani]ile  under  foot. 
What  romance  il  wa>  lo  have  this  love  o'  women  for  her  very 
own.  lo  bear  his  name,  to  introduce  him  to  a  languishing  femi- 
ninity as  "my  husband." 

She  thought  of  her  own  mother's  domestic  life.  Her  unim- 
peacliable  father!  The  endless  monotony  of  home  evenings.

MOTION   PICTl.RE 

"But.  darling."  he  was  protest- 
ing, (still  nervously,  still  nerv- 
ously, noted  Angelica,  thru  the 
corner  of  her  eye),  "you  kno-M 
these  are  infamous  lies.  Why, 
I've  been  with  you  every  minute. 
It's  that  damned  Hathaway  girl

just  a  lot  of  nasty  implications  a 
man  'd  Iiave  to  lie  a  worm  t6 
wriggle  out  of.  It's  outrageous, 
that's  what  it  is!    It's  ..." 

Angelica  went  to  bed  with  the 
mien  of  a  martyr  and  the  heart 
of  a  seraph.  She  was  happy! 
Reggie  was  a  devil  and  he  was 
making  a  devil's  explanations. 
Life  would  be  just  one  thrill  after  another. 

There   followed   perfumed   notes.     The   perfume   was 
what  might  be  de.scribed  as  violent.     It  assailed  the  nos- 
trils in  whatever  part  of  the  house  one  happened  to  be  in. 
Angelica  took  them  to  come  from  some  exotic   .    ,    ,   a 
Peruvian,    she   thought   most   likely.      Reggie   hid   them, 
rather  obviously,  .\ngelica  thought.     She  almost  always 
saw  him  hiding  one  with  an  air  of  ostentation.    Probably, 
she   comforted  herself,  he  was   more  than  customarily 
desi>erate  over  "this  one"  .   .   .  hence  the  lack,  or  loss,  of 
discretion.     The  matter  required  thought,  and  Angelica 
called  in  a  handwriting  expert.     She  made  the  most  of  it. 
It    gave    her    a    magnificent    opportunity    to    wear    willowy 
negligees  and  wallow  in  eau  de  cologne.     .She  also  acquired 
a  plaintive  voice  and  found  that  reddening  her  eyes,  ever  so- 
slightly,  was  not  unbecoming.    Angelica  had  never  had  so  good 
a  time. 
.  The  handwriting  e.xpert  ruined  it.     He  nearly  ruined  her 
ife.     To  go  further,  he  all  but  ruined  the  marital  life  of  the 
lair.     He  informed  .Angelica,  after  much  research  and  com- 
parative study,  that  Reggie  himself  had  written  the  ])erfumed 
notes.     He  added  that  he  had  jirobably  ferfumed  them  him.self 
as  well.     Not  a  houri,  he  said,  would  anoint  letters  like  that. 

Angelica's  eyes  were  reddened  in  good  earnest.  Now,  now 
indeed  was  she  deceived,  misled,  made  ridiculous.  Here,  while 
she  bad  been  living  in  thrilling  proximity  to  a  devil,  there  had 
dwelt  by  her  side  a  pasty  angel,  with  not  a  liaison  to  do  him 
credit  and  her  proud.  She  could  never  condone  him,  who  had 
never  sinned.  She  could  never  be  forgiving,  with  nothing  to 
forgive.  She  could  never  pity  her  mother,  whose  own  fatuous 
fate  was  worse.  Diable!  .She  had  married  a  hypocrite,  whose 
thin  veneer  of  evil  slipped  from  him  and  revealed  a  jilaster 
saint, 

Polly,  doing  her  best  in  the  colyum  of  "The  Tattler,"  was 
unable  to  counteract  the  damage  the  handwriting  expert  had 
done.  -Angelica's  faith  in  her  spouse's  evil  ways  was  irre- 
trievably shattered.  .She  was  again  disconsolate.  God  knew 
where,  now,  she  would  seek  the  thrill  Reggie  had  failed  her  in. 
Polly,  admonished  by  the  M.  K,,  sensed  the  fact  that  it  was  her 
duty  as  a  liumanitarian  and  a  sister  in  the  sex  to  avert  .An- 
gelica's [irobably  direfully  impending  fate, 

Polly  '[ihoned  Reggie.  Polly  had  a  way  with  her.  She  con- 
tinued Reggie's  worst  suspicious  in  no  uncertain  tones, 

"My  boy,"  she  said,  "you've  got  to  cut  up,  that's  all  there 
is  about  it.  The  safest  thing  for  you  to  do,  since  you  cannot 
seem  to  achieve  anything  that  isn't  safe,  is  to  do  it  with  ine. 
We — you  and  I — will  beat  it  together.  We'll  go  to  a  summer 
liotel.  I  know  of  no  place  better  calculated  to  scandal  and 
wifely  suspicion.  Take  it  from  me,  .Mso,  I'll  see  that  'The 
Tattler'  narrates  the  worst.     Wm  on!"" 

Reggie,  rather  palely,  consented.  He  felt  a  certain  faith  in 
Polly  Hathaway. 

"We'll    register   as    man    and    wife,"    jiursued    Polly,    "and

CLASSIC 


Friend  Wife  will  happen  in  upon — the  register.  It  ought  to 
last  her  for  a  while.  It  should  pass  by  the  summer  months 
quite  pleasantly  for  both  of  you.  It  will  take  you  a  month  to 
break  down  her  injured  pride.  It  will  take  her  another  to 
grant  her  forgiveness.  It  will  take  another  for  the  pair  of 
you  to  mush  the  thing  over  together.  Still  another  will  be 
consumed  by  a  honeymoon  of  reconciliation.  And  there  you 
are!'' 

"I  dont  understand  women,"  moaned  Reggie. 

"That's  obvious,"  agreed  Polly,  briskly.  "I  dare  say,  how- 
ever, that  you  will  come  to  some  sort  of  an  understanding  after 
you  and  I  are — er — discovered." 

Reggie  had  a  sort  of  terrified  thrill  when  he  recalled  some 
of  the  things  he  had  heard  about  "newspaper  women" — this 
newspaper  woman  in  particular. 

However,  he  did  love  Angelica  .    .    .  and  so  .    .   . 

And  so  he  let  himself  in  for  more  than  he  had  bargained 
for — more,  also,  than  Polly  herself  had  bargained  for.  He 
discovered  in  the  very  beginning  that  there  was  more  than  one 
marital  complication  extant.  He  further  discovered  that  his 
fame  had  gone  before  him.  Literally  awaiting  him  on  the 
front  porch  of  the  hotel  they  had  selected  was  Nita  Leslie,  one 
of  the  members  of  the  set  in  which  he  had  been  wont  to  move. 
Nita  was  a  clingy,  effusive  young  person,  with  what  might  be 
tactfully  described,  had  she  been  literary  or  professional,  as 
"temperament."  Being  neither,  what  possessed  Nita  was  not 
nominated  in  the  bond — save  by  her  husband,  and  then  none 
loo  delicately,  as  Nita  tearfully  e.xplained  upon  Reggie's  as- 
tounded bosom.  Polly,  watching  from  the  window  of  "their" 
suite,  chuckled.  Angelica,  she  foresaw,  would  get  her  bargain 
full  this  time. 

"Fred  has  been  a  ]ierfect  devil,"  Nita  was  explaining  to  Reg- 
gie ;  "the  last  time  it  w-was  a  b-blonde  chorus  g-girl.  I  know 
it!     The  very  worst  variety  .    .    .  and  I  said  to  mommer,  and 


inferred, 'not  alone,'  and  I  thought,  "No,  I  should  say  not.  I'll 
go,  too,  and  Reggie  and  I  will  go  h— go  to — you  know,  Mister 
Irving,  be  naughty  together."  Nita  smiled  sweetly  and  wished 
the  hero  of  her  deviltries  would  not  perspire  so  or  look  so 
perceptibly  wilted.  Reggie,  at  present,  did  not  answer  "The 
Tattler's"  word  pictures  of  him  at  all.  Still,  she  might  have 
known  ...  a  pack  of  lies  .   .   .  newspapers  .   .   . 

"But,  Mrs.  Nita,"  spoke  up  Reggie,  then,  "how  is  all  this 
.  .  .  er  .  .  .  between  you  and  me  ...  to  ...  to  solve  your 
husband  ?" 

"He'll  be  jealous,  of  course,"  explained  Nita;  "he'll  prob- 
ably be  so  jealous  he'll  commit  a  murder  or  do  some  sweet, 
adorable  thing  like  that,  and  then  I'll  know  he  really  loves  me. 
It's  all  quite  simple." 

"Yes,  I  see,"  said  Reggie,  putting  the  overworked  handker- 
chief into  play  again,  "yes,  of  course.  It  is.  It  is  quite  simple. 
Oh,  very." 

That  evening  Nita  planned  a  party.     By  night  Reggie  had 
cunningly  concluded  that  Nita  was  in  reality  the  "Town  Tat- 
tler," masquerading.     No  living  woman,  he  averred,  could  be 
such   a    fool   as   Nita,   so-called, 
had  represented  herself.    He  had 
heard,     too,     that     the     "Town 
Tattler"    was    rare    at    covering 
her  tracks.     She  was,  no  doubt, 
covering  them  now. 


The  party  was  in  progress 

in    Reggie's    room    when 

Polly  trailed  in 


mommer  said,  'Well,  you  would  do  it' 
desjierate,  and  it  came  to  me  that 
there  is  only  o-one  person  to 
settle  one's  troubles  in  this  ^ale 
of  t-tears  and  t-that  is  one's  self, 
and  then  I  read  about  you  in 
'The  Tatder'  .  .  '.  that  perfectly 
frightful  column  in  The  Society 
News  .  .  .  and  it  all  came  to 
me  .   .   .  oh.  Mister  Irving!" 

Reggie  mopfied  a  brow  with  a 
handkerchief.  His  voice  had  de- 
serted him. 

"W-what  was  it  that — came  to 
you ''"  he  demanded. 

Nita  opened  her  eyes  roundly. 
If,  cogitated  Reggie  miserably, 
Angelica's  sea-green  eyes  were 
not  so  persistently,  so  everlast- 
ingly before  him,  he,  being  a 
reasonable  man  with  a  pair  of 
eyes  of  his  own.  would  have 
conceded  the  really  |ierfect  baby 
blueness  of  Xita's.  .\s  it  was

cardiac  regions,  not  to  mention 
the  cerebellum,  of  a  man  like  he, 
Reggie .'

"I  read  about  your  carryings  on,

Upon  the  "ummmm"  entered 
Angelica,  accompanied  by  Nita's 
outraged  and  palpably  murder- 
ous husband. 

There  was  sincerity  in  the 
"umnim."  No  amount  of  explain- 
ing could  ever  explain  tliat  away, 
felt  Angelica.  She  had  a  pang 
at  the  tableau.  Not  quite  so 
pleasurable  as  some  of  the  others 
had  been.  Polly's  arms,  for  in- 
stance, were  wound  with  a  rather 
desperate  intensity  about  Reg- 
gie's soft  collar.  She  seemed  to 
be  playing  up  nobly  to  the 
"ummmm." 

Nita,  in  a  corner,  was  weep- 
ing. She  was  declaring  that 
Reggie  Irving  was  a  worse  devil 
than  he  had  ever  been  pictured. 
He  had,  she  informed  her  hus- 
band and  Reggie's  wife,  kist  her 
and  tossed  her  away.  ''He's 
broken  my  heart,"  was  her  cham- 
pagne-made moan,  "the  beast, 
the  pig,  the  pirate  .  .  .  oooohh  !" 
This  was  all  Fred  Leslie 
needed.  He  had  suspected  the 
worst.  This  was  ''  he  worst." 
The  notorious  creature  had  not 
only  lured  his  Nita  to  a  shady 
summer  hotel,  kist  her,  but  he 
had  thereupon  thrown  her  in  the 
discard  and  "taken  up"  with  an- 
other woman,  before  Nita's  very 
eyes.  He  had  come  to  murder 
him.  He  would  be  exonerated 
under  the  unwritten  law.  This 
he  had  ascertained  before  making 
the  trip.  He  would  jjroceed  to  murder  him  on  sight. 
\  chase  ensued. 

Reggie,  or  Reggie's  champagne,  or  the  fortuitous  combina- 
tion of  the  two,  led  him  into  the  bedroom  of  a  solitarily 
sleeping  woman.  The  woman  thought  r\eggie  her 'husband, 
who  had  these  methods  of  home-coming  at  night,  and  held  out 
her  arms  to  him.  They  were  amjile  arms  and  afforded  a  shel- 
ter, a  screen.  Reggie  took  to  them.  Hard  upon  the  taking, 
her  husband  burst  in  upon  them.  The  din  and  clatter  caused 
by  \itn.  Polly,  (on  the  track  of  her  story),  and  Fred  was 
increased  by  the  clamor  set  up  by  the  irate  hu.sband,  who  was 

observing    what    horror    he 

called  the  gods  to  bear  wit- 

ness  to. 

In  the  midst  of  it  all,  Reg- 
gie disentangled  himself  from 
the  ample  arms  and  again 
made  good  his  escape,  to  fall 
into  the  clutches  of  three 
house  detectives,  who  loudly 
proclaimed  that  they  were 
bound  to  arrest  the  notorious 
Reggie  Irving. 

"S'our  escapades,  sir,''  they 
said  in  unison,  "are  enough

Tiii.Y   certainly    wepl!      All    the    feiiiiniiic    f;iiis   cast   of   the 
I'acitic  Coast  and  west  of  sixteen,     l-'or  wasn't   Richard 
Hartheliness — the  adorable  Yellow  Man  of  "Broken  I'los- 
sonis" — bein;;  married  ?     Conld  anythinfj  he  worse: 

Of  course,  Dick  didr.''.  think  so.  For  he  was  marrying  "his 
ideal  girl."  as  he  termed  her,  otherwise  (as  ]ier  the  weddini; 
announcements).  Mary  Hay  C'alduell. 

The  wedding  took  i)lace,  to  be  exact,  on  June  ISth,  at  the 
Chuivh  of  the  Heavenly  Rest  in  New  \'c)rk.  And.  at  tlie  exact 
hour,  motion  picture  theaters  in  every  part  of  the  country 
played  a  wedding  march.  In  fad.  no  one  had  .ever  before 
b?en  so  widely  married. 

In  reality,  Dick  was  married  twice  that  week.  The  earlier 
wedding  was — whisper — to  Lillian  (lish.  I'ut  it  was  only  a 
make-believe  one  for  David  (iriffith's  'A\'ay  Down  l^ast." 
There  is  a  big  double  wedding  scene  in  this  rural  play  anil, 
while  Dick  was  being  joined  in  cinema  wedlock  witli  Lillian. 
Mary  Hay  was  marrying  Creighton  Hale,  ^'ou  see,  Mary  was 
also  ])laying  in  "Way  Down  F.ast."  The  make-believe  ceremony 
create<l  all  sorts  of  merriment  around  the  (Irillith  Mamaroneck 
studio,  for  the  real  wedding  was  to  take  place  the  d.iy  after. 
The  real  one  was  very  sini|ile  and  formal. 
No,  Dick  did  not  meet  Mary  in  motion  pictures.  Their 
"meeting"  was  the  oddest  on  record.  I'or  Mary  met  Dick  in 
the  Philippines,  while  Dick  met  Mary  on  the  Ziegfeld  rimf. 
N'ou  see.  it  was  this  way.  Dick  w;is  a  shadow  character  in  a 
Marguerite  Clark  photojilay  when  Mary  first  glimpsed  him. 
And  Dick  first  saw  ^L'lry  on  the  New  .\nisterdam  roof,  where 
she  was  a  member  of  the  Ziegfeld  revue. 

Mrs,  liarthelniess  (nee  Hay)  was  only  on  the  stage  .a  vear 
or  two.  ."she  is  a  daughter  of 
Colonel  and  Mrs.  Frank  Merrill 
Caldwell.  (Which  explains 
Mary's  aforementioned  stay  in 
the  Philippines.)  .She  studied 
dancing  with  Ruth  .St.  Denis  at

FREDERICK   JAMES   SMITH 


TiiK  early  summer  dog  days  ucre  not 
quite  so  dull  as  usual  this  year. 
Take  Basil  King's  "I'"artlibnund." 
((ioldwyn),  for  instance.  This  is  .ifoing 
to  cause  discussion.  It  is  going  to  be 
widely  overrated.  In  reality,  it  is  un- 
usual. With  the  whole  world  delving 
more  or  less  into  the  psychic,  the  motion 
picture  has  been  slow  to  deal  with  it. 
David  ( niffith  started  in  "The  (ireat 
Ouestion"  and  then  lost  courage.  "liarth- 
bound"  dashes  full  length  into  the  ques- 
tion. 

Remember  the  story  of  "On  With  the 
Dance":     two   men    and    a    woman,    the 

murder,  the  subsequent  trial  and  the  regeneration  of  the  woman's  soul  thru 
the  way  she  .saves  the  murderer  by  her  testimony  in  0])en  court.  George 
Fitzmaurice  treated  the  story  from  an  emotional  an<l  wholly  materialistic 
\  iew-iK)int. 

Oddlv,  Mr.  King's  story  has  almost  an  identical  groundwork,  but  the  treat- 
ment is  whoUv  from  the  spiritual  angle.  We  see  the  spirit  of  the  murdered 
man,  at  first  defiant  of  God,  moving  thru  the  scenes  of  his  earthly  activities — 
1  figure  of  bate.  But,  as  he  ccimes  to  realize  the  limitlessness  of  the  other 
world,  he  brings  about  the  woman's  regeneration  thru  his  unseen  influence. 
Then,  having  adjusted  two  broken  homes  as  best  he  can,  he  shakes  off  his 
earthhound  shackles  and  moves  on  into  the  infinite — that  is,  via  camera  tricks, 
he  walks  over  the  tree-toiis  in  the  generally  accejited  direction  of  heaven. 

Mr.  King's  story  is  not  only  a  jisychic  one,  but  it  preaches  a  certain  doctrine 
(■1  right  living.  The  lives  subsequently  torn  a])art  by  murder  are  linked  by  a 
false  and  dangerous  theory  of  life.  "No  (iod — no  sin — no  future  life"  has 
been  the  college  creed  of  the  two  comrades,  and  Mr.  King  deiiicts  how  this 
destructive  theory  brings  its  inevitable  disaster. 

"l'".arthbound"  was  a  tremendously  difficult  thing  to  visualize.  We  under- 
stand that  T,  Hays  Hunter,  the  director,  was  months  working  it  out  at  the 
(Ioldwyn  coast  studios.  It 
'was  a  vastly  hard  thing  to 
show  the  .spirit  of  the  mur- 
dered man  moving  thru  reel 
after  reel  and  yet  keep  the  right 
s]iiritual  tem[)o.  A  false  ste]i 
anywhere  would  have  meant  a 
slip  into  the  ridiculous,  .'some- 
times Mr.  Hunter  lajised  into 
the  banal  and  obvious,  and 
sometimes  the  theatric  is  bald- 
ly apparent,  hut,  on  the  whole, 
it  is  an  elusive  thing  rather 
well  df)ne. 

"I'.arthbound"  held  our  in- 
terest strongly.  It  is  a  vivid 
clash  of  human  passions  and 
the  spiritual.  It  is  not  our 
]iro\  ince  to  debate  Mr.  King's 
lisychic  theories  here.  They 
command  thought,  whether  or 
!iot  viiu  dismiss  them  as  banal. 
.\nd  we  believe  that  the  aver- 
:ige  person  will  get  a  message 
of  uplift  from  "blarthbound."

CONRAD  Xackl  suggested  lunch  at  the  Gar- 
den Court. 

"Mrs.  Nagel  will  be  there,  too,"  he  said 
over  the  telephone. 

But  Mrs.  Nagel  couldn't  come,  after  all. 

You  see,  they  had  just  bought  a  house.  Not 
a  blatantly  new  house,  but  a  big  house  with  a 
"homey"  air,  such  as  a  house  only  gets  when 
it  has  been  built  for  quite  some  time. 

( The  rose-bushes  were  bearing  heavily. 
One  especially,  a  red  climber,  on  the  side-front 
porch,  was  a  riot  of  full-blown  blooms.  And 
there  was  a  white  bush,  too,  in  the  center  of 
the  front  lawn,  so  covered  with  flowers  that 
you  could  scarcely  see  the  bush  for  the  roses.) 

We  drove  around  to  see  the  house  after 
lunch. 

"I  wont  ijromise  how  Mrs.  Xagel  will  look," 
her  husband   said  on  the  way,  but,   from  the  tone  of  his 
voice,  you  would  have   felt  quite  certain  that   Mrs.  Nagel 
could  never  look  otherwise  than  perfectly  adorable. 

By  this  time,  if  you  didn't  know  it  before,  you  have 
probably  g\iessed  that  Conrad  Nagel  is  married.  He  is.  More 
than  that,  .  ;  is  a  newlywed,  and  not  a  bit  ashamed  of  it. 

His  wife  r'  a  non-professional ;  a  sincere,  generous,  com- 
radely sort  of  girl,  not  beautiful,  as  beauty  is  known  in 
Hollywood,  but  rather  more  than  that — wholesome-looking. 
She  has  an  exceedingly  ex|)ressivc  face,  large,  dark  eyes 
and  dark  hair.  Conrad,  on  the  contrary,  is  a  blond.  His 
hair  is  taffy-colored,  his  eyes  blue  and  his  complexion 
rather  i)ale.     He  is  six  feet  tall. 

But  if  I  am  to  begin  at  the  beginning,  which  is  the  logica 
place  at  which  to  begin,  I'll  have  to  get  back  to  the  (iar- 
den  Court.  We  were  seated  at  a  little  table  near  a  French 
window  overlooking  the  Hollywood  hills.  Luncheon  began 
with  a  fruit  cup,  progressed  thru  lamb  chops.  French  frie  ' 
potatoes  and  string-beans,  to  strawberry  parfait  and  coffee 
at  the  end. 


The  Convictions  of 
Conrad 


.\t  first,  Conrad  Nagel's  conversation  was  all  of  the  house. 
They  had  rented  it  furnished  and  grown  to  love  it  so  much 
that  they  bought  it  just  as  it  stood.  Of  course,  now  that  the 
house  belonged  to  them,  innumerable  things  were  to  be  done. 
Certain  uncomfortable,  old-fashioned  pieces  of  furniture  that, 
he  said,  reminded  him  of  his  childhood  in  Keokuk,  Iowa,  had 
to  make  way  for  furniture  more  modern  and  comfortable. 
New  draperies  were  to  be  selected  and  the  front  porch  was 
to  be  arranged  so  that  they  could  almost  live  on  it  and  still 
retain  some  privacy.  Included  in  their  plans  were  a  vegetable 
garden  for  the  back  yard  and  more  flowers  for  the  front. 
One  gathered  that,  as  much  as  possible,  they  wished  to  do 
all  this  themselves.  They  are  enjoying  the  romance,  only  too 
often  denied  newlyweds  in  the  profession,  of 
making  their  own  home. 

There  would,  in  all  probability,  be  fewer  di- 
vorces, both  in  and  out  of  the  profession,  if  more 
young  married  people  could  start  this  way  in- 
stead of  as  flat 
dwellers,  moving 
around  from  place 
to  place,  with  all 
the  sense  of  irre- 
sponsibility to- 
wards each  other 
and  towards  the 
community  that 
comes  from  not 
having  a  thing  to 
call   their  own. 


Conrad  Nagel  is  the 
incarnation  of 
Youth  in  real  life. 
He  is  impulsive,  ear- 
nest and  realizes 
keenly  his  responsi- 
bilities towards  the 
world.  He  has  not 
permitted  his  profes- 
sion to  absorb  him 
to  the  exclusion  of 
other  interests

The  Conrad  ^'agel^  are  not  going  to  be  like  many  young 
married  i)eo])le.  spending  every  ])enny  tliey  get  as  fast  as 
ihey  get  it  witli  nothing  to  show  for  it  after  it  is  gone. 
Rather,  they  have  the  pro])erty-o\vning  fever  and  are  putting 
their  surplus  into  real  estate  .  .  .  and  Los  Angeles  real 
estate  at  that.  They  discovered  the  West,  literally,  in  a  day, 
and  loved  it  on  discovery. 

"It  is  really  funny."  he  said,  "that  both  of  us  should  have 
become  converted  into  Californians  so  suddenly.  I  think 
our  hou.se  must  be  respcjnsible.  because  I  hated  Los  Angeles 
at  first  and  made  uj)  my  mind  tliat  we  would  go  back  to 
New  York  as  soon  as  I  could  finish  with  Mayfiower.  ( He 
was  making  "Athalie.")  We  even  secured  our  reserva- 
tions." He  drew  from  his  jiocket  two  tickets  for  New  York 
which,  he  remarked,  he  could  probably  sell  to  some  one. 
"Then  we  rented  our  house,  the  neighbors  made  us  wel- 
come and,  before  we  had  been  there  a  week,  the  corner 
groceryman  knew  us  by  name.  Why,  if  your  corner  gro- 
ceryman  called  you  by  name  in  New  York,  you'd  fall  over 
from  astonishment ! 

"Not  only  that,  but  we  had  room  and  freedom.     You've 
no  idea  how  strange  it  seems  to  look  out  of  your  window 
and  see  attractive  lawns  and  flowers  and  know  that  friends 
and  acquaintances  are  all 
around    you,     when    you've 
been  living  cooped  up  in  a 
New   York  apartment  with- 
out even  knowing  the  people 
next  door." 

Nevertheless,  he  had  a 
clause  inserted  in  the  five- 
year  contract  which  he  re- 
cently signed  with  Famous 
Players-Lasky  to  the  effect 
that  he  should  make  at  least 
one  picture  a  year  in  New 


The  father  of  Conrad 
Nagel  is  a  composer  of 
note  and  also  dean  of 
the  Highland  Park  Col- 
lege, of  Des  Moines, 
from  which  Nagel  re- 
ceived his  bachelor's 
degree  when  he  was 
seventeen  years  old

York  and  that  lie 
may  apjiear  on  the 
stage  if  he  so  de- 
sires. 

"After  all,"  he 
remarked,  "one 
should  keep  in 
touch  with  the  cen- 
ter of  things." 
Conrad  Nagel  [)layed  Youth  in 
"Kxperience"  for  two  years,  and  he 
certainly  looks  the  incarnation  of 
Youth  in  real  life  and  acts  it,  too. 
He  is  impulsive,  earnest  and  realizes 
keenly  his  responsibilities  towards 
the  world.  He  has  not  yet  permitted 
his  profession  to  absorb  him  to  the 
exclusion  of  other  interests.  On  the 
contrary,  he  talks  politics  entliusias- 
tically  and  his  religion  enters  into  his 
daily  life  and  influences  all  he  does. 
He  says,  quite  frankly,  that  whatever 
success  he  has  gotten,  or  may  get, 
will  be  due  to  his  faith. 

"I  do  not  think  an  artist  lias  any 
more  right  to  shirk  responsibility 
towards  the  community  in  which  he 
lives  than  has  a  man  in  any  other 
walk  of  life."  he  said,  emphatically. 
"For  instance,  take  the  matter  of 
voting.  I  think  that  a  man  who  has 
a  vote  and  doesn't  use  it  is  as  bad  as 
the  man  who  has  a  vote  and  sells  it." 
He  is  also,  by  the  way,  an  advocate 
of  total  prohibition.

Marion  MacDonald,  102  Shonnard  Street,  Syracuse,  N,  Y., 
is  a  student  of  voice  culture  who  has  appeared  in  amateur 
theatricals.  Miss  MacDonald  is  the  proud  possessor  of  blue

Violet  de  Parros,  217  West  1  lOtli  Street,  New  York  City,

brown  hair  and  fair  com])lexion. 

.\lmeda  Fowler.  340  West  With  Street.  New  York  City,  has 
liail  some  musical  comedy  exjiericnce.  Miss  Fowler  has  brown 
hair,  hazel-colorecj  eyes  and  fair  coir.])lexion. 

Fknence  Campbell,  44  P.oylston  Street,  P.()st,<)n,  Mass..  ha> 
never  had  any  previous  dramatic  expe- 
rience.    Miss  Campbell   has  brown  hair 
and  blue  eyes.

We  are  i|uite  sure  that  ;dl  of 
the  c>in  test  ants  and  their 
friends  will  be  greatly  inter- 
ested to  know  that  for  some 
time  past  we  have  been  receiv- 
ing visits  from  the  personal 
representatives  of  the  very 
largest  and  tnost  famous  mo- 
tion jiicture  companies.  These 
representatives  are  following 
the  Fame  and  Fortune  Contest 
with  close  attention,  and  have 
informed  us  that  they  are  willing  to  take  care  of  the  future  of  one  of 
the  final  winners. 

This  fact  is  of  the  utmost  imiiortance.  and  should  add  greatly  to  the 
entlnisiasm  among  those  who  are  taking  part  in  the  contest,  for  it 
means  that  the  lucky  winner  who  is  chosen  by  these  men  will  be  imme- 
diately signed  uji  on  a  contract  with  a  substantial  salary,  and  the  future 
film  success  of  the  one  who  is  selected  is  iira'.nically  assured. 

Owing  to  the  success  of  last  year's  contest,  there  were  four  final 
winners  chosen  instead  of  one.  as  was  originally  planned.  Up  to  date, 
we  find  it  impossible  to  state  just  \>  hat  the  number  of  winners  for  the 
1920  Fame  and  Fortune  Contest  will  be,  but  this  announcement  will  be 
made  at  the  earliest  moment.

Whatever  it  may  be.  it  is  inlicrent  and  will  iidt  lie

success. 

He  is  the  true  artist.  One  feels  that,  or  senses  il,

Gaston  Glass  is  inc 
godson  of  Sarah 
Bernhardt,  and  it 
was  from  her  that 
he  received  his  dra- 
matic training.  He 
has  only  been  in 
America  a  little 
more  than  a  year 
and  still  possesses  a 
charming  French 
accent.-  His  work 
in  "Humoresque"

first   rank 


IT  was  a  sultry  afternoon.     .\'ni   that  the  sultriness 
or  the  time  of  day  has  much   ii^  do  with  it.  save 

that  the  sultriness  was  forgotten  in  the  quality  of 
the  ensuing  talk,  atmosphere  in  tutv,  etc.,  etc. 

1  went  to  a  predirected  address  in  one  of  the  West 
-tO's  near  th'  -\venue.  and  rang  a  bell  inscribed,  neatly. 
"I'arthelmess-tilass." 

The  former  of  the  twn  names  had,  impulsively,  a  pencil  mark 
thru  it.  The  simple  line  denoted  the  fact  that  Rarthelmess  had 
flown  to  a  new",  a  hymeneal  nest. 

I  ascended  some  stairs  and  was  admitted  by  a  neat-ajniearing 
colored  maid  with  a  cajiable  air,  who  directed  me  to  an  ample 
chair  in  the  shaded  li\ing-room  and  told  me  that  Mr.  ( llass  would 
join  me  immediately. 

In  the  brief  interim,  (he  is  not  the  sort  to  keep  one  waiting). 
1  glanced  about  me.  I  couldn't  help  but  >upii<ise  that  this  room 
bad  been  the  shrine  of  many  dreams  and  ambitions,  of  many, 
many  talks  and  introspectio.is,  of  jihilosopbies  and  iinolerances 
and  preiudices  and  the  many-hued,  many-colored  faiths  and  un- 
faiths  of  youth.  "Hartbelmess-tilnss"  had  had,  no  iloubi.  much  of 
mutual  sympathies  and  aims. 

The  room  itself  was. comfortable  and  tmobtrusive  and  in  excel- 
lent taste.  There  was  a  piece  or  (wo  of  sculpture.  There  were 
books  on  low  racks,  one  or  two  good  ]irints.  a  huge  desk,  a  huge 
couch,  smoking  conveniences,  and  thru  a  flutter  of  immaculate 
scrim  curtains  a  glimpse  of  an  equiiified  kitchen  showing  the 
ingredients  of  a  domestic  menage. 

Then  Gaston  Glass  came  hastily  in. 

I  had  an  imjiression,  (vN-hich  remained),  cf  sweet  and  enthu 
siastic  youth.  lie  seemed  to  be  eager  with  hope,  with  ideals,  with 
aspirations,  with  opinions.  He  was  charmingly  unassertive  and 
delicately  self-depreciatory.  In  his  interest  in  himself,  (and,  of 
course,  ^le  has  it,  else  he  would  not  be  an  artist  or  a  man),  there 
was  a  delicacy  of  touch  sans  all  irritation  to  the  mere  listener. 
It   may   be.   I   thought,   the    French   birth   and   breeding  of   him.

Her  First 
Interview 

By 

MAUDE  CHEATHAM 


Viora  Daniel,  by  her  pretti- 
ness  and  promise,  has  made 
fast  strides  in  the  realm  of 
motion  pictures,  for  after 
being  in  the  Lasky  Stock 
Company  less  than  eight 
months,  she  was  selected  to 
play  opposite  Roscoe  Ar- 
buckle 


and  refresh 


Tiii.v  uere  liaviiij;  a  ]jany. 
riiere  were  music  and  Hnue 
ments  and  everytliing. 

The  d'crytluHf/  consisted  cliieriy  in  noise,  for  tlie 
laufj'hter  and  merriment  conld  be  heard  to  the  far 
corners  of  the  LasUy  lot,  wliile  everyone  wlio  could 
possibly  slip  away  from  his  jiost  was  crowding 
about  the  set  to  enjoy  the  fun. 

"'I'hcre's  \'iora  Daniel," 
they  told  me.  "That  little 
gir!  in  pink  over  in  the  cor- 
ner with  Koscoe."  Eager- 
ly I  looked  at  the  point 
mentioned,  interested  to  see 
this  new  feminine  lead  r\l 
the  rotund  comedian. 


I  saw  a  slip  of  a  girl  whose 
vivid,  sparkling  face  was  framed 
in  dark  curls  which  were  caught 
U]!  in  a  huge  satin  bow.  The  frilly 
skirts  just  touched  the  round,  bare 
knees,  while  pink  socks  and  Mary 
lanes  completed  her  "little  girl" 
costume. 

A  scene  from  "The  Life  of  the 
Party,"  Irvin  Cobb's  humorous 
story,  w  as  being  transferred  to  the 
screen,  and  Koscoe  was  in  the  act 
of  pulling  \  iora  about  the  set 
while  the  orchestra  jazzed  a  merry  tune 
and  the  camera  clicked. 

P'atty,  or  Koscoe,  as  he  is  called  now 
that  he  is  making  feature  comedies  in 
stead  of  the  old  two-reelers,  was  a  scream  in 
lilue  gingham  rompers,  a  child's  round  hat 
a-top  his  solemn  face  and  "cunning"  socks 
that  failed  by  half  a  yard  or  so  to  hide  his 
battered  and  brui.sed   knees. 

He  must  slajistick.  and  if  not  on  the 
screen,  it  creeps  in  between  acts  and  he 
tuiuliles  about  like  a  rubber  ball.  He  is  con- 
tinually interjiolating  bits  of  hilarious  com- 
edv  into  his  work — his  strenuosity  is  remark- 
able -that  keeps  everyone  in  a  roar,  for  there 
is  no  denying  that  Koscoe  .Xrlnickle  is  just 
naturally  funny  at  all  times. 

When  the  lui'.ch  hour  was  called,  Viora  and 
I  >iarled  for  her  dressing-room.  "()h,  look! 
'I'here's  Tommy  Aleighan.  Isn't  he  uJor- 
ahti'.'"  she  eNclain)ed,  grasping  my  liand,  and 
we  stopped  to  watch  the  liandsome  Thomas 
.md  Kathlyn  Williams  during  a  tender  little 
scene  in  a  N'enetian  garden. 

"I'nc  ne\cr  met  him,"  confitled  \'iora,  "but 
I'xe  made  up  my  niind  that  I  am  going  to 
|ilay  with  him  some  day.  He  is  just  my  ideal 
of  .a  hem,"  and  she  tiiglied  romantically,  e\en 
while  her  eyes  danced. 

remember  I  used  to  go  and  see  Koscoe's 
tdms,   and   how    1   did   enjoy   them,   but,   of

Told  in  story  form  from  the  Mayflower  Phoiopiay 

By 
DOROTHY    DONNELL 


Piiii'i.r.  in  I'iiiepoit  said  that  Aihalie  (Ircensleeve  was  ''dif- 
ferent"; some  of  them  whispered  that  she  was  "queerhke 
in  her  liead,  seed  thinf^s  as  warn't  there  to  see."  There 
uere  odd  instances  they  could  brinj;  up  to  prove  their  conten- 
tion, the  time  she  sat  on  the  tavern  steps  and  told  a  posse  of 
e.Ncited  farmers  that  they  would  find  the  lost  Higfjens  baby 
under  a  juniper  hush  on  Blueberry  Mountain:  the  time  she 
warned  old  Hill  h.dwards  not  to  go  tishing,  and  he  went,  scoff- 
ing, .ind  was  drowned. 

"The  moon  shone  on  her  cradle  out  of  a  stormy  sky,"  the 
old  wives  whispered  ;  "her  mother  died  the  same  moment  she 
was  born.     She's  got  the  look  o'  the  other  world  on  her!" 

Certainly  .\thalie,  at  eighteen,  was  not  like  the  other,  jilump, 
noisy  I'ineport  damsels,  with  their  red.  hard  cheeks  and  their 
big  hands,  always  ready  with  a  slap  not  ton  (hscouraging  for 
the  lirsl  sign  of  "freshness."  .She  was  rather  unusually  tall 
and  slender,  without  being  meager,  and  her  oval  face,  with  its 
amazingly  large,  luminous  blue  eyes  and  frame  of  soft  brown 
hair,  was  ordy  faintly  tinted.  I'>ut  her  white,  beautifully  cared- 
for  hands  could  work  as  deftly  as  any  hands,  and  her  rnoutli, 
tho  usually  sweetly  grave,  could  smile  as  it  smiled  now  under 
Henry  I^aidlie's  adoring  gaze. 

"Henry!  You  promised!"  she  re]iroached  him,  drawing 
back  sliglitly  from  the  great,  importunate  bulk  of  him  into  the 
syringa-scented  shadow.  "You  know  I  told  you  two  years  ago 
tliat  I  wasn't  the  girl  you  would  marry." 

"You're  usually  right,  -\ttie."  the  big  fellow  beside  her  on 
the  porch  said,  grudgingly,  "but  I  aint  wiUin'  to  leave  this  thing 
u|i  to  the  sperrits!  It's  too  almighty  important  to  me — t'  both 
of  us.  I  want  you,  dear — I've  wanted  you  for  years,  an'  I'll 
he  good  to  you,  .\ttie ;  I  ]>n)mise  you  that  before  my  Maker. 
Now  mother's  died  and  the  tavern's  got  to  close.     You  cant

stay  here  and  there's  nowhere  for  you  to  go.  'Sides,  why 
should  you  go  to  traipsing  over  the  earth,  trying  to  earn  enough 
to  kee[)  soul  and  body  together,  when  I've  got  plenty,  and  I 
need  you  so?" 

He  was  wily.  big.  earnest  Henry,  in  appealing  to  her  thru 
liis  lonely  need,  his  forlorn,  uncared-for  state,  but  still  she 
shook  her  head,  dimly  shining  in  the  fragrant  dusk. 

"No.  dear.  I  couldn't,  truly.  Why.  Henry,  we've  been 
brother  and  sister,  alniost  ever  since  we  were  children  I" 

"Rut  not  since  we  w^s  grown,"  he  countered;  "you're  too 
puny,  Attie.  so  jiurty  it  makes  me  feel  like  being  in  church, 
somehow,  looking  at  you.  You  wa.sn't  made  to  take  care  of 
yourself,  but  for  a  man  to  take  care  of.  .\ttie,  say  you'll  let 
me  take  care  o'  you !" 

15ut  still  she  smiled,  and  shook  her  head,  and  suddenly  he 
cried,  with  the  violent  tongue  of  a  long-hoarded  jealousy, 
"Who  is  it,  then?  That  city  feller  who  was  so  sweet  on  you 
two  year  ago,  and  skip[)e<l  out  without  even  saying  good-by? 
Day  your  father  died,  that  was — 1  thought  then  all  those  tears 
you  cried  on  my  shoulder  warn't  for  th'  old  man!  .\re  you 
still  thinkin'  of  him,  .\ttie — when  he  didn't  give  you  no  right 
to  think  of  him  ?" 

The  chair  had  stop|)ed  swaying.  It  was  quite  still  f(jr  the 
space  of  an  entire  moment  on  the  ixirch.  then,  tiredly.  "Dont, 

jilease — speak  of — him "  she  controlled  the  tremble  in  her 

voice  gallantly.  "It  is  strange,  Henry,  when  I  can  see  so  far 
ahead  for  most  people,  that  I  cant  see  into  my  own  future  at 
all,  but  I  think — I  have  a  queer  certainty  that  I  shall  never 
marry." 

Henry  Laidlie  nirule  an  uncouth  noise;  a  sob.  strangled 
fiercely.  She  saw  t.ie  big,  shaggy  head  twist  downward  against 
the  low,  white  moon,  then  lift  resolutely.     ".\!!  right,  dear,"

"I'lni  f;oiii^'  to  \ew  Yoi"k,"  Athalie  said  slowly.  The  moon 
was  full  ou  her  lifted  faee.  and  he  saw  tliat  it  wore  the  look 
of  "dilYcreniness"  he  had  learnt  to  dread  and  hate  because  it 
seemed  to  se|iarate  her  so  far  from  him.  Her  eyes  were  fixed 
u]ion  something;  beyond  reality,  her  tips  ino\ed  stil'lly  as  tho 
without  lier  \olition.  "l-have  work  to  do  there.  I  dont  know 
e.saetly  what  it  will  he.  but  I  know  that  1  must  jjo."

they  murnuued,  for  'Cius  ( ireensleeve's  girl  to  i,'o  away  from

except  maybe  onct  or  twice  a  year  to  see  the  Hi])])odronie 
show  or  do  a  little  shopjiing.  There'd  be  no  };<iod  come  o'  it — 
mark  their  words!  .\nd  after  a  little,  for  lack  of  news  of  her, 
their  tongues  ceased  to  wag,  and  .\thalie  was  forgotten,  except 
bv  one  big,  silent  man  wlio  had  an  irritating  way  of  starting  up 
sometimes  out  of  a  reverie  and  looking  around  him  as  tho  he 
had  heard  a  call,  a  way  that  e.xceedingly  irritated  his  wife— 
for  Henry  I.aidlie  allowe<l  himself  submissively  to  be  married 
by  one  of  the  efiicient.  red-cheeked  damsels  of  Pineport  a  year 
after  .\thalie  went  away. 

When  she  took  the  train  for  the  city  on  that  afternoon  in 
midsummer,  it  was  as  tho  .\thalie  Clreensteeve  took  the  train 
out  of  the  world,  for  it  was  another  woman  who  got  off  in 
the  Grand  Central.  In  her  fotir  hours'  journey  she  had  gone 
over  all  possibilities  and  made  her  decision.  She  could  not  do 
anything  which  |)eople  would  pay  her  for  doing,  except  to  "see 
clearly,"  to  glimpse  events  as  \ct  undreamed  of.     She  had  a 


childlike  f.'iiih  in  her  own  powers.  X(jl  a  single  tainting  sus- 
]iicion  of  dishoiHsly  troubled  her — more  than  that,  slie  fell 
something  akin  to  the  exaltation  of  one  who  is  "called  to 
preach."  liod  had  gi\en  lier  a  strange,  very  precious  gift,  and 
she  must  use  it  for  Him.  'I'h.-it  was  all.  \'ery  sim|ile,  surely! 
'Slie  spent  ihe  first  disillusioning,  agonizing  week  in  seeking 
a  room,  shuddering  aw.iy  from  some  of  the  women  who  an- 
swered her  bell.  '  )nce  she  electrified  a  rouged  slattern  by 
bursting  into  tears.  "Xo.  no!  Xot  tluU  room!  1  couldn't — 
alter  what  had  happened  there!" 

The  woman  turned  ghastly  under  the  purpit  paint.  "How'd 
you  know?"  she  muttered,  widi  ^titif  lips.  "Vou  couldn't 
know  I"  Hut  .\thalie  liad  gon-  .-uid  the  woman  went  in,  cow- 
ering as  if  from  the  metiace  of  black,  rushing  wings. 

Presently  she  found  a  dark,  dingy  front  parlor  on  :\  once 
]iretentious  street,  with  a  faded  landlady  who  called  her  "child" 
and  offered  to  make  her  a  cup  of  tea.  The  room  had  belonged 
to  a  fortune-teller,  and  was  hung  with  the  cheap  ami  tawdry 
stage  setting  of  her  ]n-ofession,  dusty,  velvet  draperies,  charts, 
and  on  a  table  stood  .'t  crystal  like  a  drop  of  \>u\e  light  in  the 
d.ink.  dreary  room.  ".Madame  l.a  Rene  had  a  very  high- 
class  cle-antel."  the  faded  landlady  assured  her,  in  the  whine 
that  served  for  a  voice,  "but  she  drank  u])  all  she  made,  ]ioor 
dear,  and  was  t<iok  away  to  I'edloes  screaming  something  ter- 
rible.    .\re  you  a  second-sighier.  my  dear?" 

.\thalie  did  not  c|uite  know   what  she  was.     For  three  days 

she  sat  in  the  terrible  room,  among  its  theatrical  tinsel,  with 

folded  hands,  waiting  to  be  shown  what  she  should  do.    On  the 

morning  of  the  fourth  day  there  was  a  rap  on  the  door  and  an 

old  man,  immaculately  dressed,  stood 

hesitating    on     the    threshold.       He 

stared   down   at   her   with   ludicrous 

amazement  at  seeing  such  youth  and 

loveliness  in  a  place  like  this. 

"Madame  La  Rene — but,  good 
God!  It's  impossible!"  he  hurst  out 
finally.  "I  came  here  because  I  am 
so  des|>erale  that  I  am  willing  to 
])lunge  my  hands  into  the  vilenes'-  of 
];rofessioiial  charlatanism,  but  I 
must  have  come  to  the  wrong  place." 
He  was  turning,  but  her  soft  voice 
called  him  back. 

"^■ou  wanted  to  know  about  the 
chilclren-   yes !" 

"You've  heard.'"  He  was  actual- 
ly panting  with  excitement.  "()f

"The  same  man  !"  her  visitor 
gave  the  effect  of  .shouting,  al- 
tho  it  was  his  look  that  clam- 
ored, rather  than  his  tone.  "I

of  seeking,  he  had  found  :  after 
days  of  douhting  he  helie\  ed  ! 

He  went  away  from  the  dingy  front  parlor.  ;ifter  having  liis 
generous  check  gently  refused.  Hut  he  had  exacted  a  promise 
lliat  .\thalie  woidd  let  him  find  her  better  (|uarters,  worthy  of 
her  great  gift. 

!>he  was  settled  in  these,  a  hit  awed  al  the  quiet  luxury  of 
the  apartment  which  old  Symes  had  leased  for  her  before  he 
~et  sail  for  lielgium.  "I'm  going  to  find  my  darlings,  I  know 
it!"  he  told  her,  "and  I  shall  bring  them  to  you  as  soon  as  I 
come  back  !    Meanwhile,  help  others  as  you  have  bellied  nie." 

The  news  of  the  beautiful  girl  with  the  strange  powers 
spread,  and  the  chai'ming  grey-and-mahogany  drawing-room 
on  the  Drive  .was  filled  with  the  curious,  the  anxious,,  the  de- 
spairing. Sometimes  it  was  a  stout,  elaborately  u])holslered 
woman  with  a  Pekingese  and  a  tale  of  missing  jewels,  some- 
times a  white-faced  girl  whose  lips  faltered  out  some  sordid 
storv  of  wrong  and  misery,  .\thalie  made  no  jiretenses  with 
them  all.  "I  dont  know  whether  I  can -help  you,  but  i  will

"He's  seeing  that  fake  for-

Arnold  Wayne,  viciously, 
just  after  they  dined  to-

declared,  as  he  was  going;  "too 
much  seeing !  Vou  need  a  vaca-

at  my  lodge  in  th'e  .-\dirondacks

"Oh.  no!  I — I  couldn't,"  she 
began  breathlessly;  "Pm  not — 
one  of  you.     I'm  only  .\thalie." 

P>ut  he  brushed  her  objections 
aside,  in  the  ruthless  way  of  a  man  who  is  used  to  denying 
difficulties.     "Xonsense!'    Do  you  good — besides.   I'm  having 
someone    vou    used    to    know — young   C'live    Bailey!      That's 
settled  !    I  iood-by  till  Saturday,  .\thalie." 

It  was  the  name  that  brought  her,  the  name  that  she  had 
shut  away  in  her  heart  for  four  denied  years,  as  a  woman  shuts 
away  dried  roses  or  other  remenibrances.  There  was  a  nev\' 
beauty  ahout  her  when  she  stejipeil  into  the  hall  of  Dane's  great 
lodge  and  looked  about  the  group  gathered  before  the  blazing 
fire.  So  a  woman  looks  wdien  she  comes  to  meet  love  with  out- 
stretched hands. 

Manv  of  the  visitors  stared,  hostilely;  some  whispered,  for 


her  rc-putation  had  preceded  her,  and  slie  was  aheady 
lalieled  a  curiosity.  I'ut  there  was  one  wlio  anticipated  the 
liost's  advance  of  jireeting.  'I'all.  hthe.  with  a  leasinj;  look

his  lijis.  "Athalie!     \nu — after  all  these  years!" 

An  instant  the  hnddle<l  irroup  of  mortals,  holdin.i;  sickly, 
sticky  cocktail  jjlasses  in  hejeweled  tinkers,  had  a  lilindinjj 
jrlimpse  of  what  happens  when  the  i^odf.  meet,  tlie  amazing

"Why,  has  it  heen  so  Ion;,'  as  that?  It's  nni;allant  of  yi)U  to

"So  small  .  .  ."  the  strange 
tone  was  saying  yearning-

her  arms  as  a  woman  to  a

needs  someone  to  love  it! 
Babies  must  be  loved  or 
they  die  .  .  ."

forting me — my  father 
had  just  died  and  we 
were  like  brother  and

While  Dane's  guests 
lilayed  hridge  within  the 
great  room.  .Athalie  and 
Clive  walked  the  length 
of  tlie  |>iazza  many  times 
tmder  a  cold,  winter 
moon  that  was  like  the 
corpse  of  the  palpitant 
moon  under  which  they 
had  kist  four  years  ago. 
"I  married  Winifred  be- 
cause I  wanted  to  forget 
that  I  had  lost  you,"  he 
told  her,  lips  set  in  a 
white  line,  "and  as  soon 
as  I  had  done  it  the 
thought  of  you  came  and 
lived  with  us.  What- 
ever we  said  or  did,  you 
were  there ;  it  was  as 
tho  I  had  put  another 
into  your  rightful  place.  Marriage  cant  make  it  right  for 
peojile  to  live  together  always,  and  my  marriage  i.s  wrong — 
wicked  and  wrong !" 

"She — loves  you?"  Athalie  asked,  "that  woman  with  the  red 
hair  and  the  red  sparks  in  her  eyes?" 

"Xo!  .She  never  did,"  Clive  groaned;  "she  wanted  my 
name,  and  she  will  cling  to  it.  We  may  as  well  face  fact.  She 
wont  let  me  go,  .\thalie,  and  I  cant  stay.  What  are  we  going 
to  do  with  the  mess  I've  made  of  our  lives?" 

He  was  humble,  like  a  sorry  little  boy,  and  she  did  jiot 
reproach  him,  tho  she  knew  that  he  was  right.  It  had  heen  his 
blunder,  his  lack  of  faith  that  had  made  life  for  him  regret, 
and,  for  her.  remembrance.  "We  are  going  to  do  nothing." 
site  told  him  (|uietly;  "there  is  nothing  we  can  do.  I  shall  go 
on  with  my  work,  ^'ou  will  make  Winifred  as  happy  as  you 
can,  and  we'll  lea\e  the  rest  to  God." 

"Vour  work!"  he  fumed.  "I — yes,  I  hale  your  work.  It 
takes  you  away  where  I  cant  follow.  I'm  .so  earthly,  .\thalie — 
men  are  creatures  that  live  pretty  close  to  the  ground,  and  I 
cant  substitute  dreams  and  ideals  for  things  1  can  touch.     I — I

Htit  he  held  his  hands  rigidly  at  his  side,  and  only  his  glance 
kist  her  lifted  face.  l*"ven  in  the  days  that  followed,  when  he 
came  to  her  grey-;ind-mahogany  drawing-room  again  and  again, 
because  there  was  no  strength  in  him  to  stay  away,  he  never  so 
nuich  as  laid  a  hnger  uiion  her  hair,  tho  the  want  to  do  so 
shook  his  great  frame  piteously.  .After  a  hit  she  gave  up  beg-

life  ;nnong  her  crvslals  and  visions  that  it  did  not  even  occur

The  Coming  Collier 


By 
C.    BLYTHE   SHERWOOD 


IT  was  my  first  day  in  Hollywood — and,  incidentally, 
my  first  day  of  sunshine.    Months  of  slush  and  storm 

had  passed  since  last  I'd  romped,  a  pagan  of  the  sum- 
mertime, abandonedly  in  exercise  and  perspiration.  A 
bov  passed  bv  in  comfortably  soiled  flannels  and  a  ditto 
sweater.     He  was  swinging  a  dreadnaught  drive'-, 

"Is  there  a  tennis  court  near  here?"  I  asked. 

"Indeed,  in  hack  of  the  hotel — nice  and  sunny,  too. 
If  you  want  to  jilay.  I'll  be  there  with  a  friend  of  mine, 
and  you  can  join  u.s." 

A  mussed  rush  on  the  trunk  followed,  and  a  general 
scurry ;  and  on  the  courts  this  chap  offered  that  we 
double  up.  "Let's  take  the  sunny  side,"  he  advised. 
"Sunburn  will  do  you  good." 

"Rut  your  nose '"     It  was  extravagantly  peeling. 

"What's  a  little  grease-paint,  more  or  less?"  he  re 
torted  and  started  the  volley. 

.\  few  points.,  a  few  faults,  a  few  games,  the 
usual  deuces  and  the  usual  darns,  then,  "Where 
do  you  come  from,  jiartncr'" 

"Kew  York." 

He  dropped  his  racket,  "lireat  Scott!  Now 
we  can  form  an  Eastern  club."  He  picked  up  his 
racket.    "That's  my  country,  too!"

Buster  Collier,  whose 
pictures  used  to  run  in 
all  the  magazines  sit- 
ting on  his  father's 
knee,  is  now  a  player 
of  great  promise.  Be-

Collier,  one  of  our  best- 
known  comedians.  Bus-

deep  tendency  to  the 
serious  side  of  life,  and 
expects  some  day  to 
become  a  great  pro- 
ducer 


The  young  Mr.  Carr  opposing  us. 
single-lianded.  was  from  Washing- 
ton. For  the  moment,  he  didn't 
count  at  all. 

"How's  the  new^  'Midnight 
Frolic'?" 

I  told  him  and  he  served  into  the 
net  twice. 

"How's  'The  Hottentot'  going?" 
I   reported.     He  cut  a  gorgeous 
slam. 

"Ciee.  it's  great  to  meet  someone 
who  can  talk  your  own- language." 
and  he  suggested  that  we  quit  play- 
ing.    Under  the  shade  of  a  sheltering  palm  he  continued,  "How's  Fd 
Wynn?    Who's  ahead  for  the  h^iuity  president'     Have  you  seen  Dick 
Ra'rthelmess ?  He'soneof  mvbest  pals?  How'sMary  Hay  .'  Where'r,  .  .  .  ' 
"Sav,  Collier,  I  think  I  better  be  going.     So  long,  old  man,"  and  our 
Washington  victor,  (the  score  was  something  like  50-40),  disappeared. 
"Collier?"     I  stared  at  him. 
"Yes." 

"Buster  Collier,   whose  pictures  useil   to  run  in  all  \he  magazmcs 
sitting  on  his  father's  knee.'" 
"The  same." 
"William  Collier.  Jrr 
"No  other." 

"Oh.  Lord!"  ...    (I  had  been  playing  such  rotten  tennis.) 
Ry  fanning  his  racket,  he  brought  me  to  .    .    .     He  was  impatient  to 
iiear  more.     "Tell  me  ..." 

Rut  when  my  voice  returned,  I  managed  to  summon  enough  strength 
to  inquire.  "Why  your  mention  before  of  grease-paint?    What  are  you

Johnny  Jones 


By    FRITZl    REMONT 


When  told  to  stand  for  a  "still,"  he  looked  about  eagerVj-  for  a 
stick  to  whittle  into  some  pet  toy,  and  whipped  out  a  tremen- 
dous jack-knife,  the  sort  one  gets  as  a  gift  when  purchasing 
"American  Boy"  clothes.  Johnny  would  make  a  fine  magazine 
advertisement  for  ready-to-wears.  He  photographs  heauti- 
fullv,  with  his  bright,  big  grey  eyes,  which  are  as  alert  as  those 
nf  a  sipiirrel.  and  his  brown  hair  slays  in  place  jWii';;  he  slicks 
it  down  with  lots  of  soapy  water,  he  admits. 

There's  no  neglect  of  Johnny's  education,  for  the  Los 
.\ngeles  school-hoard  has  set  aside  a  number  of  teachers  who 
look  after  the  three  K's  for  the  studio  kiddies.  Johnny  dotes

■>TUi)ios  spring  up  as  quickly  in  Hollywood  as  do 

5  dandelions  in  our  best  kept  lawns  back  East. 

l-".speciallv  now  that  almost  every  star  and  star- 

irectnr  has  his  own  studio,  is  one  amazed  at  the 

increasinjj  number  and  size  of  the  shadow-stages. 

( )ut  on  beautiful  Santa  Monica  Boulevardis  the 
Hollywood  studio,  very  large  and  imposing  and 
really  cliarmingly  encased  in  its  light  pink  stucco 
exterior.  Here  Marshall  Xeilan  is  at  work  on  his 
newest  ])icture,  and  Dorothy  Phillips  and  Allan 
Hokihar  started  work  on  their  first  independent  pro- 
duclion,  only  to  be  interrupted  by  a  severe  cold 
wliich  settled  in  Miss  Phillips'  throat  and  brought 
on  a  nasty  attack  of  bronchitis. 

Half  a  mile  beyond  is  the  Jesse  D.  Hampton  stu- 
dio, glistening  in  its  white  coat  of  stucco.  Here 
the  einotional  Hlanclie  Sweet  is  com|ileting  "That 
(lirl  Montana."  H.  H.  Warner  and  William 
Desmond  pictures  are  shot  here  also,  but 
Warner  was  taking  a  fishing  vacation  with 
Mr.  Hampton  and  William  Desmond  had 
been  "loaned." 

.Still    farther  out   is   the  new   King   \'idor 
studio,  a  quiet  tan-and-brown  structure  fur- 
nished  very  tastefully.      Mr.   Vidor   is  anx- 
iou.sly  awaiting  just  the  ri(/ht  story  before  he 
begins    another    production.      He    has    two 
stories    on    h  a  n  d, 
hut   neither   ()uite 
suits   him.     Mean- 
while,    Florence 
\'idor  is  emoting 
at  the  I  nee  studio. 

Down  on  Sunset 
Boulevard   is  the 
rambling,    ram- 
shackle,  green, 
wooden   Ha  worth 
studio,  which  used 
to   be    the    famous 
old  (iriftitli  studio ; 
it     is     now     fairly 
oozing  Orientals  of  all   sizes  and  ages  who 
parade  the  streets  during  every  momentary 
lull   in   the  screen  production  of  Otis  .Skin- 
ner's "Kismet,"  which  Ciasnier  is  producing 
there.     .\nd  just  op|iosite  is  the  Charlie  Kay 
studio. 

Kay  is  a  very  serious  worker,  and  for  that 
reason    objects   to   any    visitors    whatsoever. 
The  other  day  I  was  made  one  of  the  fortu- 
nate eNce))tions.  and  when  I  slipped  in  on  the 
ban(|uet  scene  for  "l-'orty-rtve  Minutes  from 
Broadway."  I  was  very  interested  'n  seeing  the  charming  Kay 
bent   over  a  piano,   playing  the  same  tune  sturdily  over  ;nid 
over  again,  while  he  waited  for  some  lights  to  be  adjusted.     It 
seems  that  he  had  to  play  the  piano  in  the  jiicture,  so  he  look 
essons  and  wasn't  satisfied  until  he  could  play  the  exact  piece 
correctl)'.     Persistency  is  one  of  Ray's  chief  characteristics. 

When  the  Hglits  were  repaired,  he  acted  a  scene  at  the  table 
w  ilh  I'.ugenie  Bes.serer,  that  excellent  actress.  He  has  a  way  all 
his  own  f)f  going  over  and  over  his  comedy  business  until  he 
attains  the  exact  result  he  wislies. 

n  direct  contrast  to  the  slow,  careful,  pain.staking  manner  of 
Kay  is  llie  (piick,  heartv  method  of  Donald  MacDonald,  who 
sup|iorting  Charles   Kay   in   his   "Forty-Rve   Minutes   from

fact,  used  to  live  o])posite  our  very  own  editor.  .Mr.  Breu^ter,

Why  his  downcast  eyes  spoiled  her  evening 

Has  this  ever  happened  to  you? 


WHAT  ;i  good  time  she  was  having! 
I'.verv  minute  she  was  growing  more 
elated  b\'  her  success.  Her  partner  was 
absorbed  in  her  conversation,  charmed  with  her 
chic,  enthralled  by  her  beauty. 

Little  by  little  she  grew  conscious  of  other 
eves.  She  glanced  to  the  right.  The  man  at  her 
other  side  was  gazing  intently  at  her  hand. 

Quickly  she  doubled  up  her  fingers.  How  long 
hud  he  been  staring  at  those  nails?  Had  other 
people  also  noticed  them? 

Gone  was  her  peace,  her  unconscious  gaiety. 
Every  eye  seemed  fastened  on  her  rough  cuticle 
— on  that  one  wretched  little  hangnail.  What  a 
horrid  evening ! 

You  can  never  know  when  people  are  looking 
at  your  fingernails.  Every  day,  often  when  you 
least  suspect  it,  you  are  being  judged  by  them. 
People  no  longer  excuse  ill-kept  nails.  They 
know  that  nowadays  it  is  very  easy  to  keep  your 
nails  lovely. 

Thousands  of  busy  women  the  country  over 
are  learning  to  look  after  their  nails  with  the 
same  regularity  that  they  do  their  teeth  and  hair. 

Fifteen  minutes'  care,  once  or  twice  a  week, 
will  keep  your  nails  looking  always  well  groomed. 

But  do  not  cut  your  cuticle.  The  more  it  is 
cut,  the  thicker  and  tougher  it  grows — the  more 
sore  and  unsightly  it  becomes. 


You  can  keep  your  cuticle  smooth,  firm  and 
even  if  you  manicure  your  nails  the  right  way. 
Wrap  a  little  cotton  around  the  end  of  an  orange- 
wood  stick  and  dip  it  into  the  Cutex  bottle. 
Then  gently  work  the  stick  around  the  base  of 
the  nail,  pushing  back  any  dead  cuticle.  Wash 
the  hands,  pressing  back  the  cuticle  when 
drying  them. 

For  snowy  white  nail  tips  apply  a  little  Cutex 
Nail  White  underneath  the  nails.  Finish  your 
manicure  with  Cutex  Nail  Polish. 

To  keep  the  cuticle  soft  and  pliable  so  that 
you  do  not  need  to  manicure  as  often,  apply 
Cutex  Cold  Cream  at  night 

You  can  get  Cutex  at  all  drug  and  department 
stores  in  the  United  States  and  Canada  and  at  all 
chemists'  shops  in  England.  Cutex,  the  cuticle 
remover,  comes  in  35c  and  65c  bottles.  Cutex 
Nail  White,  Nail  Polish  and  Cold  Cream  are 
each  3Sc.

Where  the  Brook

MAUDE   S.   CHEATHAM 


Till:  windows  of  Lila  Lee's  dressing- 
room  at  the  Lasky  studio  in  Holly- 
wood open  right  into  the  pejiper  trees 
that  line  \'ine  Street.  Here  hundreds  of 
mocking-hirds  build  their  nests  while  they 
spend  their  hours  in  joyful  songs  and 
carols. 

"It   is   quite    like   'Swiss   Family   Robin- 
son,' "  laughed  Lila,  "and  we  are  all  very 
chummy  in  our  little  world  up  among  the 
trees.      Hear    those    lovely    notes !"    and, 
breathlessly,  we  listened  to  the  softly 
repeated    tones    with    their    pensive 
sweetness. 

"No  wonder  they  sing  so  beauti- 
fully," whispered  Lila,  "for  they  prac- 
tice and  practice — their  patience  seems 
infinite." 


rhotORraph  t)y  Karl  Sliuss 


The  dressing-room  itself  was  a  veritable  gar- 
den, with  its  glowing  pink  walls  and  draperies, 
while  the  fragrance  of  roses  from  a  huge  bowl  on  the 
table  furthered  the  illusion. 

Then,  there  was  Lila.  looking  like  a  lovely  flower  in  a 
gorgeous  pink  negligee,  its  satin  folds  clinging  to  the  slim, 
girlish  form.  Hattie,  the  efficient  and  popular  colored 
hair-dresser  of  the  studio,  was  diligently  curling  and 
twisting  the  long,  dark  hair  into  wonderful  puffs  and 
rolls,  for  Miss  Lee  explained  she  was  scheduled  to  have 
som;  pictures  taken  and  "had  to  be  all  dressed  up." 

"Of  course,  I  like  to  dress  up  once  in  a  while,  but  it's 
an  awful  nuisance,"  .she  cheerfully  confided.  "I  always

Three  common  mistakes 
that  mar  the  skin 


Much  homeliness  is  caused  by 
three  common  little   mistakes 


FIRST  of  ;ill  many  women 
powder  the  wrong  way. 
Then  they  are  troubled 
all  the  time  with  an  ugly 
glisten. 

If  pow<lering  is  to  be  at  all 
lasting,  the  thing  to  do  is 
always  to  apply  a  powder  base. 
For  this  a  special  cream  is 
needed,  a  cream  which  dis- 
api>ears  instantly  and  will  not 
reappear.  Pond's  Vanishing 
Cream  does  just  this.  It  is 
made  entirely  without  oil.  It 
\anishes  the  moment  you  applv 
it,  never  to  reappear  in  an  un- 
pleasant shine.  Before  you 
powder,  take  just  a  little  Pond's 
N'anishing  Cream  on  the  tips  of 
your  fingers.  Now  powder,  and 
don't  think  of  it  again.  Pond's 
\'anishing  Cream  holds  the 
jiowder  fast  to  vour  face  two  or 


three    times    ris    long    as    ever 
before. 

ASFXOXD  mistake  that 
many  women  make  is 
failing  to  protect  the  com- 
plexion from  the  wind,  sun  and 
dust.  Wind  dries  and  roughens 
your  skin  ;  sunlight  darkens 
and  coarsens  it ;  dust  works 
into  the  pores  and  injures  them. 
You  can  protect  your  skin  from 
this  injury  by  applying  the 
right  protective  crearn. 

For  this  purpose,  as  for  a 
powder  base,  of  course  you 
must  have  a  cream  that  will 
disappear  and  not  reappear. 
Pond's  Vanishing  Cream  dis- 
appears instantly  and  will  not 
crop  out  again  in  a  hateful 
shine.  It  has  a  special  softening 
ingredient  which  protects  the 
skin.  Before  every  outing 
lightly  touch  your  face  and 
hands  with  Pond's  Vanishing 
(.ream.  It  leaves  your  face 
smooth  and  protects  it  from 
wir  d    sun  and  dust. 

BECAUSE  you  have  learned 
to  depend  upon  Pond's 
\'anishing  Cream  for  a  powder 
base  and  to  protect  the  skin 
from  the  weather,  do  not  make 
the  mistake  of  forgetting  the 
im[iortance  of  cold  cream.  The 
verv     oil     which     makes     cold 


cream  imjiractical  for  use  be- 
fore going  out  is  what  the  skin

This  picture,  the  biggest  in  the  history  of  Vitagraph,  is  a  magnificent 
and  thrilling  story  of  love  and  adventure,  fashioned  into  form  for  the 
screen  from  one  of  those  delightful  and  inimitable  stories  of  Gouverneur 
Morris.  The  picturization  was  made  by  Lillian  and  George  Randolph 
Chester  and  the  master  hand  of  Tom  Terriss  directed  its  making  on  a 
stage  that  had  as  its  boundaries  the  Atlantic  and  Pacific  Coasts. 

Coupled  with  this  effort  to  give  it  the  very  last  touch  of  realism 
is  an  all-star  cast,  months  spent  in  the  making  of  it  and  an  expenditure 
of  more  than  a  quarter  of  a  million  dollars.  It  is  probably  richer  in 
spectacular  value  than  any  story  ever  transferred  to  the  moving  film. 
"Trumpet  Island"  tells  the  story  of  Richard  Bedell,  Eve  le  Merin- 
court  and  Valinsky.  the  human  derelict.  Bedell  goes  through  a  period 
of  hardship  and  deprivation  in  which  he  can  find  neither  work  nor  the 
hand  of  good  fello-wship.  He  becomes  bitter  and  discouraged.  Eve 
is  taken  from  the  quiet  seclusion  of  a  finishing  school  to  wed  a  man 
she  loathes.  Valinsky,  with  a  perfected  invention  for  airplanes  and 
starvation  staring  him  in  the  face,  cannot  find  anyone  who  will  con- 
sider him  seriously. 

Thus  these  three  travel  the  roads  that  Destiny  has  put  them  on — 
Bedell,  the  Stony  Path  seeking  Success  and   Fame;  Eve,  the   Road  of 
with   its    thorns   and    Valinsky,    the    Road   of    Mud    and    Muck, 
many    windings    and    twistings    these    three 

bringing  happiness  and   content 

to  Eve  and  Bedell,  while  Death 

looms  for  Valinsky  at  ihe  end  of 

his  journey. 

Bedell's  metropolitan  orgies — 

his  dissipations  resulting  from  a 

too-bountiful  Luck  and  a  hope- 
less  Love — his  trip  to   Trumpet 

Island    to    become    a   man   once 

more — Eve's    fateful    marriage — 

the    airplane     honeymoon  —  the 

storm — the    wreck — the   meeting 

which   results    in    the    strangest. 

the  most  alluring  love  story  ever 

told — from  this  point  on.  sensa- 
tional levels  are   touched  in  the 

unfolding      of      the      story      of 

Trumpet  Island.

NATIONAL  BISCUIT   COMPANY 


Letter  of  a  Leading  Man  to  His 
Interviewer 

(Conilmicd  frotii  paije  37) 
forth  ajjain,  sayinj; :  "1  siiould  like  to 
take  advantage  of  this  opportunity  to 
state  my  opinion  as  regards  photographs. 
In  the  coi\rse  of  one's  labors,  one  often 
receive  ■•  many  requests  from  the  most  in- 
dulgent .iublic  for  a  photograph  of  one's 
self.  Of  course,  one  would  like  to  com- 
ply with  these  kind  requests,  but  what  to 
do  in  )ny  ca.sc,  I  dont  know.  I  loathe 
photographs.  I  haven't  had  mine  taken 
in  years,  except  in  my  work.  That  I  dont 
mind,  for  then  one  isn't  one's  self,  prop- 
erly speaking,  but  to  a  large  extent  one 
lias  assumed  the  personality  of  the  role 
he  happens  to  be  playing.  ...  Or  photo- 
graphs tliat  have  an  artistic  substance, 
irrespective  of  being  reproductions  of 
line's  features  .  .  .  these  may  be  worth 
while,  but  one  meets  very  few  of  them. 
'Hie  tragedy  of  the  photograph  is  that 
only  the  features  are  re|iroduced,  and 
the  real  person  is  entirely  omitted.  I  have 
no  jihotographs  of  my  friends.  I  have 
better  jiictures  of  them  merely  by  closing 
my  eyes  a  moment  and  seeing  them  as  I 
know'  them.  If  I  am  like  my  photo- 
grajihs,  I  dislike  being  reminded  of  the 
fact." 

He  concludes,  (I  mean  almost  con- 
cludes—there are  tv\-o  postscripts),  by 
remarking,  with  rather  masculine  plain- 
tiveness,  that  he  is  sure  he  hasn't  said 
.■inything  interesting  or  clever,  as  one 
should  in  "this  sort  of  thing,"  but  that 
"perhaps  it  is  your  kind  office  to  make 
living  substance  of  even  the  driest  old 
bones." 

I  dont  know  about  the  kind  office,  but 
then,  neither  do  I  know  about  the  old 
bone's  .  .  .  Mr.  Meredith  is  a  very  stal- 
wart, very  robust,  rather  Herculean 
young  man,  and  there  is  nothing  of  the 
shrinking  violet  about  him,  save  the  es- 
sential qualification  of  modesty,  which 
he  does  seem  to  possess,  quite  largely. 

The  aforementioned  postscripts  arc  as 
follows:  "I  have  just  received  word 
which  makes  it  look  as  tho  I  am  going  to 
have  a  sort  of  company  of  my  own.  It 
is  really  thrilling." 

The  second  observes,  naively,  "I  thmk 
it  looks  terrible  to  say  an  actor  loves 
music  and  literature  and  is  kind  to  his 
mother,  etc.,  even  tho  this  is  probably 
the  case.  The  discerning  know  these 
things  without  being  told;  the  others 
wouldn't  understand  anyhow— and  there 
you  are." 

A  third  postscript  is  mine  own.  I  ac- 
cept the  responsibility,  tho  I  dont  know 
why  I  should.  When  I  talked,  or  en- 
deavored to,  with  Mr.  Meredith,  he  was 
a  bridegroom  of,  I  think,  five  weeks' 
standing,  and  one  of  the  nicest  things 
about  him  was  that  he  admitted  it  with  a 
blush  and  the  very  proudest  smile,  say- 
ing, hopefully,  "Dont  I  look  it?" 


EUREKA 

For  tliree  days  he  had  licen  poring  over  a 
big  book,  oblivious  to  the  world  about  Tiim. 
Suddenly  he  gave  a  piercing  cry  of  triumph. 

The  movie  press  a((cnt  bad  discovered  an 
adjective  never  before  used  liy  bis  rivals.

CLASSIC 

How  Young  Is  Anne? 

{Continued  from  pac/e,  23) 

surprised  her  sisters  in  the  cliorus  hy  an 
nouncing  her  intention  of  "breaking  into  ' 
pictures.  She  went  to  the  World  stu- 
dios in  the  East  and  was  cast  in  a  very 
small  part  with  Alice  Brady.  After  that 
.she  went  back  to  her  show,  danced  some 
more,  and  got  a  call  to  be  in  another 
picture  with  Miss  Brady.  Almost  every- 
thing Anne  has  ever  done  on  the  screen 
has  been  with  her — until  she  played  the 
ingenue  role  in  "The  Copperhead"  with 
Lionel  Barrymore. 

That  role,  of  course,  established  her. 
The  Universal  peojile  .saw  her  work  and 
decided  to  "im|iort"  her  to  their  West 
Coast  studios.  .\nd  there  she  was,  work- 
ing in  one  of  those  downtrodden-factory- 
girl  parts  in  a  story  called  "The  Girl  in 
the  Rain"  when  I  saw  her. 

One  of  her  outstanding  characteristic- 
is  her  un])retentiousness,  a  somewhat  un 
usual  trait  to  find  among  the  film-famous. 

Her  frank  admission  of  her  defi 
ciencies  is  one  of  the  most  tady  delightful 
things  about  her,  She  admitted  that  she 
bought  a  small  car  because  she  couldn't 
aflford  a  more  commodious  one;  that  hei' 
"flat."  as  she  styles  her  apartment,  isn't 
done  up  in  the  most  ex])ensive  kixur\' ; 
that  she  hasn't  a  maid  at  the  studio  he 
cause  she's  not  yet  one  of  the  screen's 
larger  luminaries;  that  she's  always  mcirc 
or  less  gripped  with  heart  failure  when 
she  goes  into  'he  projection  room  to  view 
the  day's  "rusi'es"  or  film  footage.  She's 
very  much  in  apprehension  lest  she  will  do 
a  "flop,"  as  she  terms  a  failure,  and  yet 
the  one  thought  that  buoys  up  her  hopes,' 
she  remarks,  is  that  she  cant  absolutely 
"flop"  until  her  contract  expires — ;it 
least,  she'll  draw  her  salary  until  then. 

.She  isn't  very  much  interested  in  mat- 
rimony, althc)  every  time  she  gets  a  "fan" 
letter  from  a  man  it  gixes  her  a  thrill. 
Vet,  when  she  is  around  men,  she  says 
that  they  always  treat  her  so  like  a  child 
that  it  makes  her  furious! 

It's  .\nne  this,  and  .\nne  that ;  Anne, 
have  you  your  rubbers,  and  .\nne.  aren't 
you  afraid  that  you'll  catch  cold? 

All  of  which  makes  her  think  that  if 
you're  small,  you  must  be  a  baby. 

.\nd  all  of  which  prompted  me  to  ask 
the  (|uestinn,  "How  old  is  .\nne  ?" 

That  .\mie  refuses  to  divulge.  Her 
eyes  sparkle,  she  laughs  her  infectious 
little  chortle  and  shakes  her  head. 

"Old  enough  to  know  better!"  she 
•-assed  back.  "And  old  enough  not  to 
tell  my  age." 

But  at  that,  with  her  natural  cbirpi- 
ness,  her  bird-like  i)hysical  qualities — and 
the  fact  that  she  wont  eat  certain  things, 
among  them  rye  bread,  which  children 
dont  like — makes  me  venture  a  guess. 

.\nne  is  nineteen.-  I  thought  she  ua^^. 
but  when  I  asked  her,  she  shook  her  he.id 
and  mumbled  an  ominous  "Nti-o-o!  Lots 
older."  But  I  asked  Joe  Martin,  the 
monkey,  and  he  shonk  his  head  "ves" 
and  grinned  hjs  broadest.  And  Joe  M,-ir- 
tin  is  the  wisest  birfl  on  the  Universal  lot. 

He  can  even  tell  you  what  kind  of  |)er- 
fume  Pri^cilla  Dean  uses!

"Keep  Your  Eye  on  Jim!*' 

"It's  not  aione  what  a  man  does  cfurm^  working  hours,  but  ou/s/i^e  of  working 
hours — that  determines  his  future.  There  are  plenty  of  men  who  do  a  good  job 
while  they're  at  it,  but  who  work  with  one  eye  on  the  clock  and  one  ear  cocked 
for  the  whistle.  They  long  for  that  loaf  at  noon  and  for  that  evening  hour  in 
the  bowling  alley.  They  are  good  workers  and  they'll  always  be  just  that — ten 
years  from  now  they  are  likely  to  be  right  where  they  are  today. 

■  **But  when  you  see  a  man  putting  in  his  noon  hour  learning  more  about  his  work,  you  see 
a  man  .who  won't  stay  down.  His  job  today  is  just  a  stepping-stone  to  something  hotter. 
He'll  never  be  satisfied  until  he  hits  the  top.  And  he'll  get  there,  because  he's  the  kind  we 
want  in  this  firm's  responsible  positions. 


"Every  important  man  in  this  plant  won  out  in  the 
same  way.  Our  treasurer  used  to  be  a  booUkeeper.  The 
sales  manager  started  in  a  branch  office  up  state.  The 
factory  superintendent  was  at  a  lath  a  few  years  ago, 
The  chief  designer  rose  from  the  bottom  in  the  draftinu 
room.   The  traffic  manager  was  a  clerk. 

"All  these  men  won  their  advancements  throuch 
■pare  time  study  with  the  Internationai  Correspondence 
Schools-  Today  they  are  earning  four  or  five  times  — 
yes,  some  of  them  ten  times  as  much  money  as  when 
they  came  with  us. 

"That's  why  I  say  that  Jim  there  is  one  of  our  future 
executives.  Keep  your  eye  on  him.  Give  him  every 
chance— be"ll  make  good!" 

Employers  everywhere  are  lookinir  fdV  men  who 
really  want  to  get  ahead.  If  yoa  want  to  make  more 
money,  show  your  employer  that  you're  tryinif  to  be 
worth  more  money.  If  you  want  more  responsibility, 
show  him  you're  willing  io  prepare  yourself  for  it. 

For^Syearsthe  International  Correspondence  Schools 
have  been  trainine  men  and  women  riKht  in  their  own 
homes  after  supper,  orwhenever  they  had  a  little  lime  to 
spare.  More  than  t\vo  million  have  stepped  up  in  just 
this  way.  More  than  110,000  are  studyintf  now.  Ten 
thousand  are  startinif  every  month.  Can  you  afford  to 
let  another  priceless  hour  pass  without  making  your 
start  toward  something  better? 

Here  Is  all  we  ask— without  obligation,  mark  and 
mail  this  coupon,  It's  a  little  thing  that  takes  but  a 
moment,  but  it's  the  most  important  thing  you  can  do 
today.    Do  it  now!

;iii(l  tliere  were  still  n  miinher  i)f  scenes 
to  sluiot  for  "The  Mollycoddle.''  which 
she  was  niakin;;  with  Douglas  l";iirbanks. 
The  ]iictiire  ha<I  been  draK.i,'i"f;  ""  f^f 
.111  iinconseional)Iy  lont,'  time,  until  the  en- 
lire  company  were  ])rol>ably  sick  to  death 
of  it.  DouK  had  liroken  a  finger  and  .so 
h.ad  been  unahle  to  work  for  several 
weeks.  Then  had  come  his  marriajje  to 
Marv  Tick  ford  and  tlie  Nevada  suit  to  de- 
clare the  marriage  illeijal  by  anniiUinji  her 
divorce  from  Ciwen  Moore.  The  entire 
]Hofession  was  almost  as  indignant  over 
this  as  were  the  principals.  Thousands 
of  people  have  gone  to  Xevada  e\cry 
ye;ir  for  no  other  reason  than  to  gel 
divorces  and  nothing  said.  T5ut  jtist  be- 
cause they  arc  famous.  Mary  I'ickford 
and  Douglas  Fairbanks  may  not  he  al- 
lowed their  happiness.  This  was  the 
general  tenor  of  the  conversation  wher- 
ever the  subiecl  was  discussed,  and  it 
was  lieing  discussed  everywhere.  Un- 
(loubtcdlv,  this  notoriety  played  its  part 
in  delaying  the  T'airhanks  jirodiiction. 

\'o.  I  wasn't  in  the  least  sur]irised  that 
Hetty  liouton  sliould  he  late  and  I  de- 
cided to  wait  for  her  as  long  as  possible. 

It  was  five  minutes  of  four.     For  per- 
haps the  ninth  lime.  I  glanced  at  the  girl 
sit'ing   next    to   me.   a   pretty   girl    with 
large,   dark-brown   eves,    set    rather    far 
'   a])art.    and    chestnut-brown    hair.      Slie. 
too,  was  obviously  waiting  for  some  one 
'    who  was  very  late.     It  occurred  to  me 
that  a   conversation  with   her  might   re- 
I   lieve  the  tedium. 

'  "I'ardon  me,"  I  said.  ".\re  you,  by 
;  ;iny  chance.  Miss  Ronton?"  It  was  on 
I  the  ti])  of  my  tongue  to  add,  "I'm  sorry, 
a  chance  resemblance,"  when  she  an- 
'i  swered.  "Ves,  I  am,"  and  we  shook 
1  hands,  laughing.  !t  seems  that  she  had 
been  there  since  ten  minutes  of  three  and 
1  had  had  me  paged  four  times!  .\h,  well, 
the  carpenters  had  been  making  so  much 
noise  .  .  .  ! 
I  In  the  tea-room,  we  selected  a  little 
I  table  against  the  wall,  where  we  could 
I  talk  undisturbed,  and  while  the  waiter 
I  was  getting  our  tea  and  toast,  "cut  thin" 
I  — ("That  is  a  little  trick  I  have  learnt 
]  here,''  she  said.  "If  you  order  it  cut 
!  thin,  they  have  to  make  it  fre.sh  ;  other- 
w  ise  vou  are  as  likely  as  not  to  get  toast 
I  left  over  from  breakfast'') — I  had  a 
I  chance  to  really  look  at  her  for  the  first 
j   time. 

She   wore    a    dark-blue    suit    and    her 
1    blouse   was   of   a   lighter   shade  of   blue 
linen  simolv  trimmed  will',   pleating  and 
rows  of  hemstitching.     .She  wore  a  con- 
servative little  hat  and  veil. 

The  daughter  of  a  successful  inventor, 
I'etty  P.oulon  was  born  in  I'liiladeliihi.i 
and  educated  at  the  I'niversily  of  Penn- 
sylvania. She  and  her  sister  botli  took, 
.and.  for  that  matter,  still  take,  a  keen 
and  active  interest  in  the  woman's  rights 
movement. 

"Fill  not  much  of  a  moving  picture 
fan,"  she  said,  frankly,  when  we  wen' 
iliscussing  recent  jiiclures.

A  Grown-Up  Ingenue 

(  Ciiiiliiuicd  from  f'at/c  .W) 

She  doesn't  know  how  long  she'll  stick 
to  the  acting  (ihasc  of  the  industry. 

"I'd  like  to  go  into  a  scenario  depart- 
ment and  write  continuity,"  she  said, 
seriously. 

"I'ecause  you  are  tired  of  acting?"  I 
asked. 

"Xot  exactly!  But  I've  been  doing  it 
for  a  year  and  a  half,  and  I've  never 
stayed  so  long  with  anything  else  in  my 


life. 

"I  was  in  Morosco's  ])lay-reading  de- 
Iiartnient  for  a  while.  I've  also  been  a 
in'obation  officer,  a  social  investigator 
for  a  psychological  clinic  and  a  secret 
service  agent,  the  latter  during  the  war. 
"My  first  job  was  as  an  investigator 
for  :i  charity  organization  in  jackson- 
\  ille,  I'lorida.  at  a  salary  of  sixty-five 
dolkirs  a  month.  It  was  a  very  large 
.salary  for  a  woman  ;  every  one  in  the 
office  told  me  so.  There  was  one  man 
esjiecially  who  didn't  see  how  I  could 
possililv  he  worth  .so  much  ! 

".\nd  how  we  had  to  work!  We  even 
had  dicta] ihones  installed  so  that  we 
couhl  work  on  Sundays.  It  was  just 
case  after  ca.se  of  illness  and  ijoverty. 
until  I  could  almost  have  believed  that 
iliere  w  as  nothing  but  misery  in  the  world. 
"I  began  my  stage  work  by  going  to 
.Sargent's  dramatic  school  in  New  York, 
and  my  first  Jiart  was  with  Xat  (lood- 
win  in  'The  Merchant  of  X'enice'  as  Jes- 
sica." .She  smiled  ;it  the  recollection.  "I 
just  romped  thru  that  ]iarl,  without  any 
knowledge  of  its  traditions,  just  enjoying 
every  moment  of  it!  I  shall  jirohably 
never  enjoy  a  |iart  that  much  again." 

h'ollowed  ".\marilly  of  Clothesline 
.\lley"  and  a  season  of  stock  at  the  Shu- 
bert'  Theater  in  Newark,  N.  J.  Her 
most  recent  stage  ajipearance  was  with 
lierlha  Kalich  in  "The  Riddle — Woman." 
On  the  screen,  she  appeared  in  "Three 
Men  ;md  a  (lirl"  with  Marguerite  Clark; 
"Daddv  Long  Legs"  and  "Heart  of  the 
Hills"'  with  .Mary  Pickford;  "Man's 
Fight"  and  "The  Man  Worth  While" 
w  ith  William  Farnum  ;  "The  Final  Close- 
Lp"  with  Shirley  Mason;  "Dont  Fver 
Marry"  for  Marshall  Neilan  and  "The 
Mollycoddle"  with  Douglas  Fairbanks. 

It  was  during  the  making  of  "Dont 
Fver  Marry"  that  she  married  Arthur 
Jackson,  whom  she  met  in  the  Alexandria 
tea-room  thru  Rose  Mullaney,  a  Los 
.Xngeles  casting  director. 

"I've  been  married  for  three  months," 
she  said,  "and  I've  scarcely  seen  my  hus- 
band for  as  many  days!  He  had  to  go 
to  New  York  to  write  his  new  show, 
'Scandal,'  and  I  had  to  stay  here  and 
finish  my  work  with  Mr.  Fairbanks. 
Rut  I'm  going  to  join  him  at  last.  I 
haven't  any  jirofessional  ])lans  at  all — 
just  a  great  many  ideas  about  marriage 
that  I  intend  to  put  into  effect  at  once." 

Doubtless,  that  was  just  a  mood  of 
the  moment.  I  can  hardly  imagine  her 
dropping  the  thread  of  her  professional 
life;  she  appears  much  too  ambitious  for 
anything  like  that.

We  never  suspected  embroidery  and  knitting  contributed  anything  to  Miss 
Christie's  success  in  her  unique  dance  until,  in  a  moment  of  confidence,  she  said, 
"My  Silver  Bubble,  they  tell  me,  moves  with  the  gossamer  lightness  of  thistle 
down.  It  never  would  if  my  hands  were  not  velvety  smooth-  a  condition  I

MOTION  PICTURE 

The  Convictions  of  Conrad 

{Continued  from  page  47) 
Conrad  Xagel  was  born  in  Keokuk, 
Iowa,  in  1890.  His  father  is  a  composer 
of  note  and  also  dean  of  the  Higfiland 
Park  College  of  Ues  Moines,  from  which 
.Xagel  received  his  bachelor's  degree 
when  he  was  seventeen  years  old.  His 
mother,  too.  is  a  musician — a  singer. 
Conrad  Xagel  drifted  naturally  to  the 
stage.  While  in  college,  he  was  con- 
stantly producing  plays  and  acting  in 
them  liimself. 

In  athletics,  he  won  several  medals  foi 
sprinting.  An  interesting  coincidence  is 
that  his  first  part  on  the  professional 
stage  was  that  of  a  sprinter.  He  was 
supposed  to  have  fallen  and  had  to  come 
running  on  with  a  bad  "cut"  painted  on 
his  leg.  Exactly  the  same  sort  of  acci- 
dent had  ha[)pened  to  him  in  real  life  and 
tile  cut  was  (lainted  over  an  actual  scar. 
His  first  professional  engagement  was 
with  a  stock  company  in  Des  Moines,  of 
which  Fay  Hainter  was  also  a  member, 
t-ollowcd  "The  \atuial  Law."  "Expe- 
rience," "The  Man  Who  Came  Back" 
and  "I'orever  After."  While  he  was  ap- 
])earing  on  the  stage  in  New  York  he  was 
also  making  pictures — a  strenuous  ex- 
istence for  any  one  who  wants  to  try  it, 
working  all  day  and  half  tlie  night  into 
the  bargain.  Pictures  he  has  made  are 
"Little  Women";  "The  Lion  and  the 
Alouse."  with  Alice  Joyce,  "Redhead," 
with  Alice  Brady  ;  "The  Fighting  Chance," 
a  Robert  W.  Chambers  story,  for  Fa- 
mous Players-Lasky,  and  "Athalie."  an- 
other Chambers  story,  for  Mayflower. 

Mrs.  Nagel  has  made  one  appearance 
on  the  screen,  because  the  director 
wanted  jtist  her  type,  but  she  does  not 
expect  to  enter  the  profession. 

This,  That  and  the  Other  Thing 

(Continued  from  page  26) 
Incidentally,  and    this   may   carry   more 
weight    than    even    I    am   aware   of,    he 
admitted  it. 

"But  the  .specific  thing?" 

"Oh — that.  I'm  looking  for  a  play. 
In  the  market  for  a  play.  A  speaking 
play,  something  with  a  character  role — 
just  so  long  as: "  He  waved  ex- 
pressive hands,  indicative  of  the  banish- 
ment of  the  aforementioned  idol.  "A 
play  that  will  amuse,  first  of  all,"  he  went 
on.  seriously,  "for,  after  all,  that  is  what 
the  theater  is  for ;  that  is  what  life  is  for. 
.\  great  play,  to  my  mind,  is  a  play  that 
thrills,  that  makes  the  man  or  the  woman 
watching  it  forget,  even  if  for  the  mo- 
ment, the  burden  that  is  pressing  upon 
him  or  upon  her'  'hat  makes  that  man 
or  that  woman  feel  a  sort  of  flaming, 
sorrowful  but  wonderful  contact  and 
sympathy  with  the  whole  world  of  tears 
and  laughter^and  the  great  artist  is  the 
artist  who  makes  that  play  alive ;  the  pur- 
jio.se  of  it  an  animate,  vita!  one.  Forget- 
fulness  with  inspiration  is  the  work  the 
theater  has  to  do  and  can  do  better  than 
.iny  other  institution  known  to  man.  and 
to  carry  on  that  work  is  the  gift  given  to 
every  artist,  to  every  man  and  woman  in 
the  drama."

lliings.  Marriage,  for  instance.  Mr. 
L\tcll  believes  in  the  infinite  possibilities 
of  ninrriaye.  He  thinks  the  very  young 
marriage  is  the  serious  deterrent  to  suc- 
cessful consummations.  The  getting-on- 
in-life  folk  not  knowing  their  own  minds, 
how  can  the  hardb-  more  tlian  adolescent 
be  expected  to?  They  cant  be.  And 
there  you  have  it ;  have  most  of  the  trag- 
cmJv,  most  of  the  divorce,  most  of  the  un- 
hap]iiness.  Not  marriage,  but  the  age  of 
marriage,  is  the  point. 

The  rest  of  it  nuist  go  under  the  titular 
heading.  It  Iea\es  a  great  deal  to  the  in- 
dividual imagination,  which  is  what 
every  good  writing  should  do,  to  be  good, 
and  which  is  what  every  man  should  do, 
to  be  interesting,  and  which  is  precisely 
what  Mr.  Lylell  did,  to  be  quite  honest. 
.\nd  there  you  have  it!  Exert  your 
imaginations  and  let  them  run  riot!  You 
wont  go  wrong  and  you  probably  wont 
go  right,  but  as  you  wont  know  the  dif- 
ference in  any  case,  it  wont  make  any 
difference,  and  Mr.  Lytell  will  still  be  the 
subject  of  your  intensive  wondering  !

The  sob  was  from  one  lone  onlooker.

See  the  results  of  the  new  way  of  teeth 
cleaning.  They  are  quick  and  decisive. 
You  will  know  at  once  that  they  mean  a 
lifetime  of  cleaner,  safer  teeth. 

Millions  of  people  employ  it.  And 
the  glistening  teeth  seen  everywhere 
show  what  it  means.  See  what  it 
means  to  you. 

A  film  combatant 

Most  tooth  troubles  are  now  traced 
to  film — to  that  viscous  c6at  you  feel. 
Film  clings  to  teeth,  enters  crevices 
and  stays. 

The  ordinary  tooth  paste  does  not 
end  film.  So  the  film  remains — much 
of  it — and  may  do  a  ceaseless  damage. 
Nearly  all  people  suffer  from  it,  more 
or  less. 

It  is  the  film-coat  that  discolors, 
not    the    teeth.     Film    is    the    basis    of 


tartar.  It  holds  food  substance  which 
ferments  and  forms  acid.  It  holds 
the  acid  in  contact  with  the  teeth  to 
cause  decay. 

Millions  of  germs  breed  in  it.  They, 
with  tartar,  are  the  chief  cause  of 
pyorrhea.  So.  despite  the  tooth  brush, 
all  these  troubles  have  been  constantly 
increasing. 

New  methods  now 

Dental  science,  after  years  of  search- 
ing, has  found  new  ways  to  fight  film. 
All  have  been  proved  by  many  clinical 
tests.  They  are  so  efficient  that  leading 
dentists  everywhere  advise  them. 

These  methods  are  combined  now 
in  a  dentifrice  called  Pepsodent.  It 
has  brought  a  new  era  in  teeth  clean- 
ing. This  is  the  tooth  paste  we  urge 
you  to  try. 


Watch  the  new  effects 


The  use  of  Pepsodent  at  once  reveals 
many  new  effects. 

One  ingredient  is  pepsin.  One  mul- 
tiplies the  starch  digestant  in  the  sa- 
liva, to  digest  starch  deposits  that 
cling.  One  multiplies  the  alkalinity  of 
the    saliva,    to   neutrahze    mouth    acids. 

Two  factors  directly  attack  the 
films.  One  of  them  keeps  the  teeth 
so  highly  polished  that  film  cannot 
easily  cling. 

Pepsodent     is     the     new-day     tooth

Johnny  Jones — (Continued  from  page  60) 


Buddy  Jilcssinger,  of  ''.Maddin  and  the 
Wonderful  Lamp."  'T.alies  in  tlie 
\\'ood"  .md  "Jack  and  tlie  Beanstalk" 
fame.  ^'lUi  all  rcmemher  little  fat 
Buddy,  and  how  funny  lie  looked  tryinf; 
to  chase  villains  in  those  entrancing 
fairy-tales? 

The  one  distracting  circumstance  i.>- 
that  T.ucille  Rick.sen.  who  plays  leads 
with  Jiihnny  Jones,  is  tlie  object  of  ado- 
ration of  both  Johnny  and  Ruddy.  Of 
course,  the  star  has  a  better  chance, 
partly  because  he's  older,  and  again  be- 
cause bis  pocket-money  is  about  double 
that  of  Buddy's^ — and  you  know  the 
deadlier  of  the  species,  no  matter  how 
tin)',  do  lo\-e  a  spender ! 

joliiiny  has  a  mechanical  turn  of  mind. 
Acting  is  just  a  means  to  an  end,  he 
thinks.  He  is  going  to  be  a  civil  engineer 
when  he  grows  up — at  present  twelve 
biriliday  candles  arc  all  that  he  can  "blow 
out" — but  he  spends  his  spare  time  eii- 
inying  the  mechanical  toys  which  his 
f.ither  gives  him  in  great  profusion.  He 
has  all  sorts  of  building  arrangements 
and  tools  and  i'tads  scientific  magazines 
with  zest.  .         - 

Johnny  loves  to  draw,  and  one  of  tlie 
funny  things  I  viewed  was  a  cartoon 
ibey  had  discovered  that  morning,  in 
which  Johnny,  as  F.dgar.  is  portrayed  as 
a  pugilislic-looking  infant  with  wings 
and  a  halo  that  resembles  a  centipede 
more  than  anything  else,  taking  orders 
from  Mr.  Hopper,  who  is  saying  "Noth- 
ing like  it !" — a  favorite  expression  of  the 
director's  when  the  children  do  not  get 
his  idea  at  rehearsal.  They  all  dote  on 
their  director,  and  no  wonder,  for  he  is 
lilay-fellow,  story-teller  and  purveyor  of 
sweets  to  them. 

Johnny  is  temperamental,  for  all  he's  a 
lively  lad.  P'or  instance,  they  had  a  vio- 
linist on  the  lot  to  purvey  soft  strains, 
the  sort  of  cat-calls  and  woodland  trills 
v.hich  were  supposed  lo  fiithuse  a  new 
star. 

johnny  Jones  stood  that  soil  of  music 
fnr  three  days,  then  he  said,  impulsively, 
",Vw,  say,  Mr.  tlopper,  cant  you  cut  that 
violin  out  ?    It  makes  me  sick!" 

Always  obliging,  the  director  got  an 
accordionist.  Cliarlie  Fcssi;i,  wlio  is 
brolber  to  the  famous  vaudeville  actor, 
and  now  Johnny  enjoys  doing  emotional 
scenes  and  gets  right  into  the  ;ictl(iii 
w  illiont  dirficuhy. 

There  arc  some  awfully  cunning  uni- 
forms for  Johnny  Jones,  one  as  the  gen- 
eral, one  as  the  President  of  the  United 
.■-States,  in  which  garb- he  lays  down  the 
law  to  the  ."senate.  They've  built  a  little 
model  of  the  White  House  just  for 
Johnny  Jones'  new  picture,  and  quite  as 
much  money  and  trouble  have  been  ex- 
pended on  bis  sets  as  on  any  that  Pauline 
Frederick  miglit  demand. 

T  saw  them  one  day  working  on  the 
Long  Wharf  at  .^anta  Monica.  The 
small  village  had  turned  out  en  mn.tse  to 
do  honor  lo  a  great  general's  return  with 
his  soldiers.  Johnny  came  marcliing 
home  in  his  best  new  suit,  preceded  by 
the  Si-nl-i  Monica  band  of  thirty  pieces. 


He  wasn't  keen  about  the  gaping  .iiulti- 
lude.  but  he  did  enjoy  that  noisy  band  I 

Wlien  I  got  a  chance  to  talk  to  Johnny 
again,  I  said.  "Wasn't  that  great?  It 
must  be  lots  of  fun  to  wear  a  suit  like 
that  and  pretend  you're  the  biggest  inan 
in  town !" 

Johnny  looked  wistfully  at  Long 
Wharf,  where  boys  and  men  stood  mind- 
ing fishing-poles,  for  halibut  and  dog- 
sharks  were  a-plent)'  that  day. 

"Aw,  gee,  I'd  give  anrthing  to  cut  this 
stuff  and  go  fishing,"  he  returned.  Later 
there's  a  scene  in  which  Johnny  and 
Piuddy  are  permitted  to  squirt  hoses  on 
each  other,  and  then  the  real  joy  of  act- 
ing begins.  No  two  boys  ever  had  a 
grander  time!  In  fact,  director  and 
helpers  were  drenched  when  trying  to 
separate  the  aquatic  combatants  finally. 

Buddy  Messinger  laughed  and  chortled 
uiilil  his  fat  sides  shook.  "Say,  Skinny, 
iliflja  getcher  feet  wet?"  he  shouted 
facetiously. 

"Slim"  is  the  joy  of  Johnny's  exis- 
tence. "Slim"  is  the  property  man,  a 
real  pal,  an  understanding  sort  of  chap, 
about  six-foot-two  as  to  length  and  one 
foot  wide.  Johnny  took  me  aside  seri- 
ously and  said,  "Did  \'0U  ever  hear  the 
stoiy  of  the  nigger  who  described  a 
skinny  man  ?  He  said,  'His  head  is  just  a 
knot  tied  in  his  neck  to  keep  his  spine 
from  slipping  thru  his  body!'  I  always 
think  'Slim'  looks  that  Avay — but  he's  just 
cm'fiil  nice  .  .  .  every  other  way  .  .  . 
.and  he  may  get  fat  later,  you  know." 
".Slim"  helps  Johnny  make  up,  walks 
about  with  powder-puff  and  lip-rouge, 
and,  as  Johnny  says,  "is  just  a  second 
mamma  to  me — only  I've  got  three 
mammas,  one  at  home,  'Slim'  here,  and 
the  one  in  the  pla)'." 

\'irginia  jNIadison,  Edgar's  mother,  is 
another  who  shows  keen  interest  in  the 
little  brood.  Taking  it  altogether,  it 
really  is  a  wonde'-  that  Johnny  is  not 
spoiled  by  petting.  Vou  just  cant  help 
loving  him.  he's  so  human  and  funny — 
and  blest  with  lots  of  common  sense  aiifl 
good  deportment.  It  would  be  a  strange 
thing  indeed  to  walk  out  of  a  door  with- 
iiut  having  Jolmny  Jones  rush  ahead  to 
open  or  close  it  for  one.  He  is  always 
finding  chairs  for  standing  onlookers, 
.iiid  doffs  his  cap  in  the  most  cavalier 
manner,  so  that  I'm  not  surprised  to  find 
Lucille  showing  a  tiny  preference  for 
him. 

IToneslly,  the  best  time  Johnny  ever 
had  in  pictures  was  when  he  and  Buddy 
Messinger  were  allowed  to  chase  a  cat  up 
a  set  alley  while  the  camera  registere<I. 
If  that  doesn't  prove  Johnn)'  is  one  hun- 
dred per  cent,  .\merican  boy,  T  dont 
know  what  would. 

"It  was  such  a  wild  cat,"  said  Johnny 
Jones,  ruefully,  "that  instead  of  running 
straight  thru  the  alley  to  the  back  lot.  as 
we  wanted  it  to,  the  puss  just  beat  it 
right  up  the  fence  and  across  into  the 
caf<?teria  Axindow- — gee,  wasn't  that  tough 
luck?  .\ftcr\vards  we  had  lo  get  a  nice, 
tame  tabby-cat  for  the  retakes."

law  to  the  .Senate.  They've  built  a  little 
model  of  the  White  House  just  for 
Jtihnny  Jones'  new  ]>icturc,  and  quite  as 
much  money  and  trouble  have  been  ex- 
pended on  his  sets  ;is  on  any  that  Pauline 
Frederick  might  demand. 

I  saw  them  one  day  working  on  the 
Long  Wharf  at  .Santa  ]\ronica.  The 
small  village  had  turned  out  cii  viasse  to 
do  honor  ft  a  great  general's  return  with 
his  soldiers.  Johnny  came  m.irching 
home  in  his  best  new  suit,  preceded  by 
the  S.-nl'i  Monica  band  of  thirty  pieces. 


He  wasn't  keen  about  the  gaping  multi- 
tude, but  he  did  enjoy  that  noisy  band ' 

When  I  got  a  chance  to  talk  to  Johmiy 
again,  I  said.  "Wasn't  that  great?  It 
must  he  lots  of  fun  to  wear  a  suit  like 
that  and  pretend  you're  the  biggest  man 
in  town !" 

Johnny  looked  wistfully  at  Long 
Wharf,  where  boys  and  men  stood  mind- 
ing fi.shing-polcs,  for  halibut  anc'  dog- 
sharks  were  a-plenty  that  day. 

"Aw,  gee,  Fd  give  an\1bing  to  cut  this 
>ti\fl  and  go  fishing,"  he  returned.  Laccr 
there's  a  scene  in  which  Johnny  and 
Buddy  are  permitted  to  squirt  hoses  on 
each  other,  and  then  the  real  joy  of  act- 
ing begins.  No  two  bo\'s  ever  had  a 
grander  time !  In  fact,  director  and 
helpers  were  drenched  when  trying  to 
separate  the  aquatic  combatants  finally. 

Buddy  ?\Iessinger  laughed  and  chortled 
until  bis  fat  sides  shook,  "Say,  Skinny, 
ilidja  getcher  feet  wet?"  he  shouted 
f.'icetiously. 

"Slim"  is  the  joy  of  Johnny's  exis- 
tence. "Slim"  is  the  property  man,  a 
real  pal,  an  understanding  sort  of  chap, 
about  six-foot-two  as  to  length  and  one 
foot  wide.  Johnny  took  me  aside  seri- 
ou.sly  and  .said,  "Did  you  ever  hear  the 
story  of  the  nigger  who  described  a 
skinny  man  ?  He  said,  'His  head  is  just  a 
knot  tied  in  his  neck  to  keep  his  spine 
from  slipping  thru  his  body  I'  I  always 
think  'Slim'  looks  that  way — but  he's  just 
iKi'ful  nice  .  .  .  every  other  way  .  .  . 
and  he  may  get  fat  later,  }'ou  know." 
".Slim"  helps  Johnny  make  up,  walks 
about  with  powder-puff  and  lip-rouge, 
and,  as  Johnny  says,  "is  just  a  second 
mamma  to  me — only  I've  got  three 
mammas,  one  at  home,  'Slim'  here,  and 
the  one  in  the  play." 

^■irginla  Madison,  Edgar's  mother,  is 
another  who  shows  keen  interest  in  the 
little  brood.  Taking  it  altogether,  it 
really  is  a  wondc'-  that  Johnny  is  not 
spoiled  by  pelting.  You  just  cant  help 
loving  him,  he's  so  human  and  funny — 
and  blest  with  lots  of  common  sense  and 
good  deportment.  It  would  be  a  strange 
thing  indeed  to  walk  out  of  a  door  with- 
iiut  ha\ing  Johnny  Jones  rush  ahead  to 
ojien  or  close  it  for  one.  He  is  always 
finding  chairs  for  standing  onlookers, 
and  dolTs  his  cap  in  the  most  cavalier 
manner,  so  that  I'm  not  surprised  to  find 
Lucille  showing  a  tiny  preference  for 
him. 

Honestly,  the  best  time  Jolinny  ever 
li.id  in  pictures  was  when  be  and  Buddy 
!\Iessingcr  were  allowed  to  chase  a  cat  up 
a  set  alley  while  the  camera  registered. 
If  that  doesn't  prove  Johnny  is  one  hun- 
dred per  cent,  .\merican  boy,  T  doiit 
know  what  would. 

"It  was  such  a  wild  cat,"  said  Johnny 
Jones,  ruefully,  "that  in.stead  of  running 
.straight  thru  the  alley  to  the  back  lot,  as 
we  wanted  it  to,  the  puss  just  be.at  it 
right  uji  the  fence  and  across  into  the 
cafeteria  window- — gee,  wasn't  that  tough 
luck?  Afterwards  we  had  to  get  a  nice, 
t.'inie  tabby-cat  for  the  retakes."

A  Corn? 

Why,  a  touch  will  end  it! 

A  corn  today  is  needless,  and  millions  of  people 
know  it. 

Years  ago  neairly  every  woman  had  them.  Now 
women  who  know  Blue-jay  never  suffer  corns. 

Ask  your  own  friends. 

Blue-jay  comes  in  liquid  form  or  plaster.  One  applies 
it  in  a  jiffy — by  a  touch. 

The  pain  stops.  In  a  little  time  the  virhole  corn 
loosens  and  comes  out. 

The  proof  is  everywhere.  Tens  of  millions  of  corns 
have  been  ended  in  this  simple,  easy  way. 

This  is  the  scientific  method — the  modern  way  of 
dealing  with  a  com.  It  was  created  by  this  world-famed 
laboratory,  which  every  physician  respects. 

One  test  will  solve  all  your  corn  problems.  Make  it 
tonight.    Buy  Blue-jay  from  your  druggist.

Way  Down  East 

{Continued  from  page  31) 
"Wont  yciu   please  believe   me,   dear? 

Wont  you  .   .  .  wont  you  stop  ?" 

He  Iiad  kist  lier  hand  and  gone  away. 
.\ftcr  a  little  slie  crept  away,  too.    The 

ijlow  of  the  coals  had  grown  so  dull  and 

cold. 

The  next  day  was  the  day  of  the  liliz- 
zai-d.  .\bout  dinner-time  Martha  Per- 
kins "dropped  around."  It  was  one  of 
her  many — peculiarities.  Lennox  .San- 
derson did,  too. 

The  family  enlire  collected  about  the 
usually  genial  board,  yet  somehow,  on 
that  night,  it  was  not  genial.  There  was 
not  only  a  storm  without  .   .   . 

The  soup  had  just  been  brought  in 
when  the  asperit)-  of  bearing  of  Miss 
Perkins  congealed  and  became  a  definite 
tiling.  Her  puckered  lips,  her  darting 
glances,  each  one  holding  so  many  ounces 
nf  actual  venom ;  her  outraged  hair,  each 
liristle  rampantly  erect,  all  .   .   .     At  last: 

"I  must  say.  Squire  Bartlett,  that  I,  a 
God-fearing  woman,  believe  in  limits  even 
to  charity  ..." 

There  was  a  general  stir  about  the 
table.  Lennox  Sanderson  coughed,  al- 
most, it  seemed,  imnecessarily.  It  was 
olnious  to  even  the  unobservant  that 
Anna  ]\Ioore  shrank  against  the  back  of 
her  chair. 

Then:  "That  woman,  there,"  the  piti- 
less Miss  Perkins  went  on.  "is — has  a 
past.  She — she  had  a  child."  Whereat 
Miss  Perkins  gargled  in  her  throat  and 
retired  in  great  confusion  amongst  the 
folds  of  her  mammoth  linen  handker- 
chief. 

Squire  Bartlett  brought  his  grizzled 
brows  together.  The  atmosphere  seemed 
to  hang,  for  a  period  of  minutes,  thick, 
definite,  suspended,  then  came  the 
righteous  thunder  of  his  voice,  ordering 
the  "unchaste  woman"  into  the  turbulent 
night. 

It  seemed,  to  the  stricken  group  at  the 
table,  almost  as  tho  a  wraith,  a  .ghost,  an 
imreality,  were  passing  from  them.  She 
went  so  noiselessly,  so  unprotestingly,  so 
\  aguely  and  yet  so  definitely,  that  it  did 
nut  seem  as  llio  it  could  be  she,  delicate 
as  had  been,  invariably,  her  presence 
among  them.  The  door  closed  after  her 
and  a  squall  of  wind  and  snow  whistled 
and  shrieked  in  the  room  for  a  second 
after  she  had  gone. 

The  silence  succeeded  her.  Then  Da- 
\'id  rose  and  faced  his  father. 

"I  am  going  after  her,"  he  said.  "I've 
already  lost  a  part  of  my  self-respect  in 
silting  thru  your  denunciation  of  the 
woman  I  so  love.     You " 

The  anathema  his  father  hurled  at  him, 
llie  imprecations,  the  threats  of  punish- 
ment in  this  life  and  hell  in  the  life  herc- 
aflcr,  he  did  not  bear. 

The  faces  of  Miss  Perkins,  Lennox 
Sanderson.  Kate  Brewster,  her  Butterfly 
I\lan,  he  did  not  see  ,   .   . 

He  heard  only  that  wraithlikc  pas.sing, 
saw  only  that  veiled  white  face  .   .  . 

Four  hours  later  he  came  upon  her  at 
the  bend  in  the  river,  where  tlic  ice  had 

fSercnlucinhtj 


CLASSIC 

cldyj^cii  loo  thickly  to  carry  her  farther. 
She  had  come  to  this  as  a  niercifu!  outlet 
to  some  wider,  more  kindly  sea  where 
tliere  might  be,  at  the  least,  oblivion. 

He  kist  her  closed  eyes,  her  sweet 
mouth,  her  still  hands.  He  promised  her 
life  and  love  if  she  would  return  from 
the  dim  recesses,  the  cold  withdrawal  .  .  . 

■\nd  love  is  the  conqueror,  and  there  is 
both  a  quick  and  a  dead  .  .  .  Her  eye- 
lids fluttered  under  Iiis  breath  ;  her  hands 
stirred  to  meet  his  ;  her  lips  moved  and  itt- 
tered  his  name  .  .  .  He  took  her  home 
...  so  reverently  that  they  had  nau.sjht 
to  say,  so  preciously  they  could  but  steji 
aside,  with  such  an  air  of  One  who,  Ions 
.igo.  forgave  where  love  was  great,  they 
could  but  give  their  tender  benediction. 

Johnny  Jones 

(Continued  from  page  76) 

Docs  Johnny  love  to  study?  Sad  con- 
fession, but  Johnny  does  not.  He  would 
rather  act  than  tackle  the  books — then  go 
to  college — later  travel  as  civil  engineer 
tlnu  India  and  Soutli  America.  With 
the  joyful  abandon  of  youth,  with  end- 
less animal  spirits  and  perfect  digestive 
jirocesses,  he  wants  to  let  off  steam  and 
hasn't  the  faintest  idea  at  present  that 
the  four  hated  study  hours  daily  with 
Sallie  .Sykes  are  steiiping-stones  to  a 
scientific  career. 

.So  the  only  time  I  saw  him  scowl — 
altho  he  was  too  obedient  and  polite  to 
actually  demur — was  when  ]\Iiss  Sallie 
pulled  the  small  chairs  about  in  a  circle 
after  recess  and  crooked  one  slim  finger 
in  a  beckoning  welcome  to  her  corner  of 
the  stage. 

Johnny  turned  to  me  for  sympathy. 
"Did  you  ever  hate  spelling?  I  do.  T 
lo\e  geography,  'specially  about  the  un- 
explored countries — the  kind  Teddy  used 
tri  visit — and  'rithmetic.  because  an  engi- 
neer has  to  learn  estimating — but  I  cant 
see  what  difference  it  makes  how  you 
spell  a  word  as  long  as  it  sounds  all 
right,  can  you?"  Johnny  practices  what 
lie  lielieves  in  and  spells  camera  with 
three  a's. 

Then  he  rushed  off,  whistling  gaily — 
and  when  I  turned  to  see  why  he'd  faded 
out  .so  (|uickly,  I  noticed  Buddy  dropping 
into  .a  chair  beside  Lucille,  who  was 
sitiiling  her  very  sweetest.

Serves  that  dish  of  Quaker  Oats 

When  you  think  of  high  food  cost  think  also  of  Quaker  Oats.  One  cent 
still  serves  a  large  dish  of  this  food  of  foods.

for  the  same  calory  \aluc,  average  nearly  ten  times  the  cost. 

No  price  can  buy  a  tetter  food.  The  oat  is  the  greatest  food  that 
grow.s.  It  is  almost  the  ideal  food  in  balance  and  completeness.  Its  fame 
is  age-old  as  a  body-bnilder  and  a  vim-food. 

Quaker  Oats.  vvhate\er  they  cost,  would  be  the  proper  breakfast.  It  is 
wise  for  everyone  to  start  the  day  on  oats.  But  the  cost  is  ;i  triHc.  ll 
means  not  only  better  feeding  but  a  vastly  lower  food  cost.

(Cciitiiiiicil  from  I'aijc  64) 

liird's  Pi>nvanna.  in  the  scenes  where  she 
was  scolded  and  had  such  a  liard  time, 
they  were  serious  enough  to  her,  but 
amusing  to  the  audience. 

".'^ome  day  I  want  to  play  big,  emo- 
tional roles.  I  .should  Uke  to  be  a  .second 
Pauline  Frederick.  \\'ouldn't  that  he 
wonderful?  I  say  to  myself,  tho,  when- 
ever T  begin  dreaming,  that  I'll  do  what 
I, can  do  best  and  be  satisfied  in  develop- 
ing m_\'  own  talents.  So  many  girls  ruin 
their  future  careers  by  insisting  on  play- 
ing roles  which  are  absolutely  unsuited 
to  them. 

"See  my  mascot?"  and  Miss  Lee 
jiointed  to  a  rusty  horseshoe  hanging 
o\er  the  door.  "I  found  it  here  on  the 
lot  and  I  wouldn't  jiart  with  it  for 
u-orlds.  I  always  say  that  I'm  not  super- 
stitious, but  I  find  there  are  three  things 
I  cant  get  away  from :  first,  a  good-luck 
horseshoe ;  then.  I  like  to  see  the  new 
moon  over  ni)-  right  shoulder.  Really,  I 
have  noticed  that  if  you  do  this  your 
whole  month  will  be  happier.  Silly,  isn't 
it?  Then,  I  wont  let  anyone  whistle  in 
my  dressing-room ;  that  is  an  old  stage 
superstition  that  still  clings  to  me." 

"There!"  announced  Hattie.  pinning 
up  the  last  refractory  curl  and  stepping 
back  to  Aiew  her  work.  "It  looks  mighty 
nice  and  you  are  as  sweet  as  a  peach." 

"You  mvist  be  a  favorite,"  I  com- 
mented, watching  Hattie's  admiration. 

"Oh,  no ;  ne\er  believe  that.  There's 
only  one  favorite,  and  she's  Gloria,"  (re- 
ferring to  the  beautiful  Gloria  Sw-an- 
son).  "The  rest  of  us  merely  strive  for 
second  place,"  merrily  chided  Lila. 

-  "Oh,  go  'long  now ;  you  know  I  like 
all  my  girls,"  chuckled  the  pleased 
Hattie' 

As  Miss  Lee  .slipped  into  a  wonderful 
frock  of  the  new  exaggerated  hoop-skirt 
model,  made  of  lovely  shades  of  yellow 
satin  and  trimmed  with  bands  of  ostrich, 
we  chatted  on  many  subjects. 

I  enjoyed  watching  this  young  girl, 
who  is  fast  winning  a  firm  hold  on  the 
hearts  of  picture  fans.  There  is  a  child- 
like frankness,  a  radiating  sweet  good- 
humor  and  an  innocent  spirit  of  mis- 
chievousness  that  are  all  very  charming. 
She  is  pas.sing  thru  the  fascinating 
"growing-up"  process,  and  alternating 
flashes  of  the  poised  woman  and  the  in- 
genuous girl  keep  one  guessing. 

".'^o  many  amusing  things  happen  while 
we  are  making  pictures,"  Lila  remarked. 
"1  remember  that  I  ate  six  big  .slices  of 
liread  and  jam  while  we  were  trying  to 
perfect  one  scene  in  'Male  and  Female,' 
.and  I'll  never  be  able  to  look  at  jam 
again. 

"I  have  just  finished  making  'The 
Prince  Chap,'  William  de  !Mille's  first 
siieci.al  ])roduction,  with  Tommy  Meighan, 
and  oh,  I  had  a  splendid  jiart,  and  Tommy 
is  wonderful  lo  work  with.  I  am  now 
having  a  nice  little  rest — except  when  I 
have  to  come  over  to  the  studio  and  doU- 
u|i  in  finery  tn  ha\c  pictures  taken."  .and 
Lila  twirled  gaily  in  front  of  the  long 
■mirror  to  get  a  full  \iew  of  her  costume. 

(MtiliUi) 


CLASSIC 

She  was  indeed  a  vision,  for  she  is  a 
very  heauliful  .t;irl,  with  cleav-cut,  per- 
fect features,  wide  dark  eyes  and  lovely 
complexion,  while  the  soft  curves  of 
cheek  and  throat  are  most  alluring. 

It  is  always  interesting  to  learn  lunv  I 
one  starts  on  one's  career,  and  Lila  gave 
me  a  glimpse  of  hers.  .She  was  born  in 
Xew  York,  but  her  motlier  being  quiet 
and  old-fashioned  in  her  ideas,  they  were 
far  removed  from  the  theatrical  atmos- 
|ihere,  and  she  probably  would  never 
liave  touched  it  had  the  family  not  be- 
coine  acquainted  with  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Gus 
Edwards.  They  took  a  fancy  to  the 
little  girl  and  taught  her  songs  and 
dances  and  later,  under  the  quaint  name 
of  Cuddles  Edwards,  they  made  her  a 
^lar  feature  of  their  clever  vaudeville 
sketches.  For  seven  years  Cuddles 
[ilayed  thruout  the  country  on  "big  time," 
and,  with  her  natural  dramatic  qualiiica- 
lions  and  magnetism,  she  became  a  great 
favorite. 

"And   your   advent  into   pictures?"    I 
asked. 

"It  was  when  I  was  in  Los  Angeles 
several  years  ago  that  I  visited  the 
various  studios,"  Lila  explained,  "and. 
like  evervone  else,  I  became  enthusiastic 
over  motion  pictures.  On  our  return  to 
New  York,  Mr.  Edwards  took  me  out  to 
see  Mr.  Lasky  ;  he  had  a  test  made  and 
signed  me  with  his  company.  It  will  be 
two  years  in  June  since  I  came  out  here, 
and  they  have  been  the  happiest  and 
gloomiest  I  have  ever  known.  You  see. 
I  thought  if  my  first  picture  was  good,  I 
\\ould  never  need  worry  any  more,  that 
I'd  be  iiwdc.  but  I  found  that  to  succeed 
nn  the  screen  one  must  keep  right  on 
working  and  learning  all  the  time.  I 
realize  that  my  work  improves  every 
lime  something  happens  that  develops  tuy 
nature,  that  tends  to  stir  my  own  feel- 
ings. I  dont  believe  I  knew  what  emo- 
tions were  all  about  when  I  first  began." 
]\Iiss  Lee  lives  in  a  pretty  bungalow  in 
Hollywood  with  her  mother  and  small 
nephew,  whonr  she  adores.  "We  live 
much  to  ourselves,"  she  told  me.  "I 
guess  I  became  used  to  that  while  I  was 
in  vauJeville  and  traveling  about  all  the 
time.  I  love  to  read,  and  my  fad  is  em- 
broidering lingerie  pillows — I  have  stacks 
of  them.  Then,  I  am  taking  piano  les- 
sons and  studying  dancing  at  the  Deni- 
shawn  School.  I  love  to  dance  best  of 
ct'crythiiiij! 

Lila  went  on  to  tell  me  that  her  only 
sister,  Peggy  Lee,  was  playing  in  Be- 
lasco's  "The  Son-Daughter"  in  New- 
York,  and  Lila  hopes  some  day — oh,  there 
is  plenty  of  time,  for  she  is  still  in  her 
early  teens — that  she  can  appear  on  the 
great  Broadway  in  a  big,  smashing  play. 
Meanwhile,  tliis  happy,  high-spirited 
voung  girl  is  growing  up  into  a  very 
sensible  and  well-balanced  woman,  as 
well  as  a  beautiful  one,  and  is  giving  us 
some  refreshingly  wholesome  screen 
characterizations.  There  is  no  doubt  tliat 
Lila  Lee  possesses  the  qualifications  for 
a  successful  actress,  the  best  one  being 
the  willingness  to  work,  and  work  hard!

I'anioiis  Players- Lasky  and  have  just  fm- 
i^lierl  'Youn^'  Aiiiciica.'  to  be  called  'The 
Moy.'  Jfy  next  is  with  Ollie  Thomas  in 
'Xohody' — sonic  fun!  We're  to  be  or- 
phan, rural,  dirty,  dislieveled  kids.  F. 
r.-L.  is  lendinj;  nic  to  Sclznick." 

"W'liat  does  your  father  say?" 

"He's  ]>roiid'that  I  want  to  do  some- 
thing. Oh.  he's  a  brick!  He  even  bellied 
me  get  tip  my  contiact.  I  must  make 
good  for  him  .    .   . 

"And  mollier."  he  added.  "I'm  the 
only  one  they  have  and  the  tuo  of  them 
bank  an  awful  lot  on  me." 

There  is  no  ilnulit  Iiut  that  he  feels  his 
filial  responsiliility.  He  intends  to  do  big 
things  fcr  the  name  of  Collier,  not  fcy  it. 
He  depends  upon  it  for  stimulus  instead 
of  support. 

The  son  beliexes  his  forte  to  be  man- 
aging and  jiroducing  rather  than  act- 
ing, altho  he  has  already  appeared  with 
his  dad  in  a  luunber  of  his  hits,  and  at 
the  pro])helic  age  of  six  disjilayed  a 
streak  of  family  humor  when  he  made  his 
debut  in  "Caught  in  tlic  Kain"  by  hiding 
under  an  umbrella  .nnd  carrying  it  across 
the  stage. 

"I  want  to  be  in  Uie  business  end  of 
the  theater.  I  am  practical  and  commer- 
cial enough  for  that.  I  want  to  see  a 
show.  I  want  to  cut  out  what  I  know 
doe<n't  belong  and  put  in  what  I  feel  is 
lacking.  ^ly  real  desire  is  to  get  together 
nuisical  comedies  and  ])resent  them  on  a 
colossal  scale — in  coo])eration  with  my 
lather." 

The  comradeship  between  tlie  William 
Colliers  and  their  son  is  one  of  the  most 
unusual — not  only  of  the  theater,  liut 
out  of  it.  P.usler  realizes  it,  too,  and 
claims  his  was  an  unusual  childhood,  be- 
cause he  was  brought  up  in  a  s^tiie  way. 
The  three  of  them.  ((|uoting  liusler), 
ha\e  been  ''on  the  square" — always. 
They  have  not  made  unreasonalile  de- 
mands, or  argued,  or  laid  down  doctrines, 
ilogihas  and  decrees.  Theirs  has  been  the 
jirinciple  to  "talk  things  over.''  He  was 
never  once  commanded  to  "do'this"'  and 
"you  must  not  do  that,"  hut  "do  this  he- 
raiise  .  .  ."His  mother  has  never 
wrangled  with  him,  or  doubted  or  mis- 
trusted him.  From  the  first  he's  stood 
and  talked;  he's  been  placed  on  his  own 
and  relied  ujxm  to  do  what  is  best  for 
himself  and  them.  Flis  name  has  always 
evoked  fidelity.  He  cannot  forget  he's  a 
Jr.  and  not  finly  lias  something  lo  live  up 
to,  but  to  carry  out.  l"or.  .all  his  eighteen 
years  of  life 

The  creed  imbibed  in  him  h.is  been 
llioroiie.t.f.  His  father  has  persisted  that 
whatever  he  lenrn,  he  learn  diligently, 
from  the  beginning  and  all  thru.  It  was 
ihat  way  when  he  was  taught  baseball, 
tennis,  billiards,  pool,  and  no  doubt  ac- 
counts for  llie  golf  falher-and-son  tour- 
nament the  two  of  them  won  last  spring. 
Hue  winter,  because  of  ill  health,  he  had 
to  .stay  away  from  school,  so  he  went 
down  to  the  T.ong  Island  home  and

New  York  has  had  a  number  of  vis- 
itors from  the  Coast  recently.  These  in- 
cluded Lew  Cod\',  the  he-vamp.  Mau- 
rice Tourneur  was  another.  IMildred 
Harris  Chaplin  and  Helene  Chadwick 
are  visitors. 

"Rabo"  Ruth,  the  home-run  king  of 
baseball,  has  been  signed  by  Kessel  and 
P.auman  to  make  a  feature  or  two.  The 
first,  "Headin'  Home,"  will  be  released 
just  about  world  series  time  this  fall. 

Goldwyn  signed  a  Broadway  theater, 
llie  Astor,  for  the  run  of  its  special  pre- 
duction,  "l-^artbbound,'  which  opened 
.\ugust  11th.  .\nd  they  say  Allan  Dwan 
may  hire  another  to  show  his  "The

William  Boyd  is  jilaying  the  lead. 

Hobart  Henley,  the  director,  sailed  for 
F.urope  on  July  24th,  taking  along  his 
bride,  who  was  Corinne  Parker,  the 
actress. 

Lowell  Sherman,  well  known  on  the 
stage  as  a  "heavy,"  has  been  signed  by 
Famous  Players.  He  is  playing  opposite

"Way  Douii  East"  with  D.  W.  Griffith', 
playing  the  villain  who  lures  the  fair 
heroine  aWay  from  the  farm. 

Whitman  Bennett,  the  independent

CLASSIC 

Carol  and  Her  Car 
(Continued  from  page  17) 

"The  very  first  day  I  drove  it  to  Sing- 
Sing.  (Miss  Dempster  lives  with  her 
sister  at  Mamaroneck,  her  mother  having 
(lied  Init  a  few  months  ago,  thus  ending 
.1  comradeshi))  that  was  rare  and  un- 
usual.) I  know  every  motor-cycle  police- 
man in  Westchester.  They're  all  awfully 
nice  to  me." 

We  admitted,  (mentally),  the  discern- 
ment of  motor-cycle  oificers. 

"I  am  uyi  at  seven  these  days  and  out 
along  the  hill  roads.  I  used  to  ride  horse- 
hack  a  great  deal  in  California,  but,  gra- 
cious, I  love  motoring  much  more.  .\nd 
I  love  Westchester  and  the  Sound  far 
more  than  California." 

Whereupon  JMiss  Dempster  offered  lo 
motor  us  to  the  Mamaroneck  station, 
after  grimlv  remarking  tliat  she  had  not 
hit  anything  ninch — yet.  We  accepted. 
\\'hich  proves  one  of  two  things :  either 
the  charm  of  Miss  Dempster  or  our  fear- 
less attention  to  duty.  .\nd  (we  hope 
the  owner  doesn't  re.id  this")  attention 
to  duty  is  something  e.xceedingly  elusive 
on  the  edge  of  Long  Island  .Sound  in  the 
dusk  of  a  midsummer  day.  Particularly 
when  said  charm  is  thrown  into  the  i 
balance. 

P.S. — We  hit  nothing  en  route.  That 
is.  nothing  that  prevented  us  reaching  the 
aforementioned  station  on  time.  j 

And  They  All  Wept! 

{Continued  from  pai/e  44) 

Then  she  came  F.ast  and,  in  1019,  went 
into  the  Ziegfeld  'T-'ollies"  and  later  into 
the  Nine  O'clock  and   .Midnight   Revue. 

Thus  the  meeting  of  Mary  and  Dick 
came  about.  When  Clarine  Seymour 
died  suddenly,  Mr.  Gritfith  decided  to 
hel]i  along  the  romance  by  giving  ^liss 
Hav  the  role  intended  for  her. 

The  Barthelmesses  have  been  lioney- 
niooning  in  a  little  cottage  on  the  Sound, 
close  to  Kve  and  within  easy  distance  of 
the  Griffith  studio.  ( Dick's  mother  has  a 
bungalow  nearby.")  There  is  just  one 
honevmoon  intruder  —  a  pet  alligator 
vclept  "Nasturtium."  And  we  sort  of 
suspect  "Nasty,"  as  Dick  terms  him,  has 
lieeu  neglected  o'  late.

I'll   Teach  You   Piano 

In  Quarter  Usual  Time 


To  persons  who  have  not  previously  heard  of 
my  method,  this  may  seem  a  pretty  bold  state- 
ment. But  I  will  gladly  convince  you  of  its 
accuracy  by  referring  you  to  any  number  of 
my  graduates  in  any  part  of  the  world. 

There  isn't  a  State  in  the  "Union  that  doesn't  contain 
a  score  or  more  skilled  players  of  the  piano  or  organ  who 
obtained  their  entire  training  from  me  hy  limit.  1  have 
far  more  students  than  were  ever  before  taught  by  one 
man.  Investigate  by  writing  for  my  Ji4-page  free 
booklet,   "How   to  Learn   Piano  or   Organ." 


Mv  way  of  teaching  piano  or  organ 
is  entirety  differcnl  from  all  others. 
Out  of  every  four  hours  of  stud\ . 
one  hotn-  is  spent  enlirely  a-eny  froiii 
the  keyboard — learning  somethinsj 
about  Harmony  aiid  The  Laws  oi 
^'lusic.  This  is  an  awful  shoclj  to 
most  teachers  of  the  "old  school," 
who  still  think  that  leannng  piano 
is  solelv  a  prolilem  of  "finger  gym- 
nastics." When  yon  (to  go  to  the 
keyboard  yon  accomplish  tteire  n  ■ 
mitcii,  because  you  vnderstand  zeliol 
you  arc  doing.  W'itliin  four  les- 
sons  I  enable  .vou  to  play  an  in- 
teresting piece  not  only  in  the 
original  ke\ .  but  in  all  other  ke\  , 
as  "    ell. 

I  make  use  of  every  po.ssible  seieu- 
titic  help--many  of  wliich  are  entirely 
uiilnioien  to  the  average  teacher.  M\- 
patented  invention,  the  COI.ORO- 
TtTNlC,  sweeps  away  playing  diffi- 
cidties  that  have  troubled  students  for 
generations.  By  its  use.  Transposi- 
tion—usualb'  a  "nightmare"  to  stu- 
dents— becomes  easy  and  fascinating. 
\\  ith  my  fifth  lesson  1  introduce  an- 
other important  and  exclusive  inven- 
tion, QUINK-DKX.  Uuinn-Dex  is  a 
simple,  hand-operated  moving  |)icture 
device,  which  enables  yon  to  sec.  right 
before  your  eyes,  every  movement  of 
my  hands  at  the  keyboard.  Vou  aelit- 
atty  see  tlie  fingers  move,  bistead  of 
having  to  reproduce  your  teacher's 
finger  movements  from  MEM()R\  — 
which  cannot  he  always  accurate — 
you  ha\e  the  correct  models  before 
\-ou  during  every  minute  of  practice. 
The  COLOROTONK  and  QUINX- 
DKX  save  you  months  ami  years 
of  wasted  effort.  They  can  be  ob- 
tained only  from  me  and  there  is 
nothing  else  anywiiere  even  remotely 
like  them.

Ihat  Youth  From  Second  Avenue 

(Coiilimud  from  /'<7;K'  I'J) 
comiileted  pictures  uiuler  my  aim,  I  van- 
ished oiif  day  and  made  a  round  of  the 
nintion  picltire  studios.  Shortly  there- 
after I  landed  niv  first  jol).  I  was  on  my 
way!  Nor  family  nor  feud  could  stop 
me  then !'" 

.•'.\nd  you've  never  wavered   in  your 
choice?" 

"Never.  Never  once." 
"You've  been  unusually  successful—^ 
unusuallv  youn^'."  I  was  ihiukiuf;  of 
his  playini;' last  season  in  "Martinique": 
of  his  rel-enl  pictures  with  Constance 
Talm.-idjje  ;  of  his  rehearsal  at  the  lime  of 
our  talk  for  his  new  play  to  open  the 
next  month. 

•I've  had  my  .strugf;le,"  he  told  me. 
'down  to  my  last  cent ;  not  enou.ijh  to 
cat;  no  place  to  lay  my  head.  I  mi^ht 
almost  say;  the  gamut.  .Vnd  I'm  glad. 
1  dont  want  ever  to  forget  that  side  of 
the  ledger.  T  dont  believe  that  T  ever 
will.  Just  so  long  as  we  do  remember  it 
we  preserve  a  balance:  we  hang  on  to 
the  happier  today;  we  appreciate  the 
awards.  It  was  a  priceless  experience." 
I  asked  Mr.  Coleman  whether  he  in- 
tended to  keep  nn  with  both  stage  and 
■screen. 

"T  want  to,"  he  said  ;  "I  am  anxious  to 
establish  myself  on  the  stage  so  definitely 
that  I  may  return  to  it  at  any  time  after 
.1  lapse." 

'■\\'hat  type  of  work."  I  said,  "in  a 
i,'eiieral  sense?" 

"Oh,"  he  said,  "in  a  general  sense  .  .  . 
for  instance,  or  for  instances,  Otis  Skin- 
ner, the  Barrymores,  Leo  Ditrichstein. 
William  Gillette  .  .  .  once  you  have 
.achieved  standards  of  that  sort,  nothing 
short  of  death  or  general  disability  caji 
take  them  from  you." 
"What  of  the  screen?"  T  asked. 
"The  screen,"  he  said,  "is  for  the  very 
voung;  that  is,  iniporlanlly.  After 
vouth  ...  I  want  to  do  my  best  work 
on  it  iimi',  but  I  want,  also,  to  have  laid 
the  cornerstone  for  all  the  years  that  are 
coming  after." 

One  feels,  strongly,  a  sense  of  poleu- 
lial  prodnclivity  in  !\lr.  Coleman.  He  is 
one  of  those  from  whom,  reasonably,  the 
great  may  come.  He  is  i)ossessed  of 
youth,  sensitiveness  to  a  marked  degree,  a 
|iassion  for  his  work,  for  life,  for  the 
things  of  today  and  tomorrow.  He  has 
foresight  and  common  .sense.  He  is  un- 
limited, (illustration,  to  wit).  He  says 
the  feminine  plays  .i  large  part  in  his  very 
young  life.  He  believes  in  marrying  in 
his  own  profession,  because  of  the  ines- 
timable bond  of  better  understanding. 
The  queiy  arises:  What  good  fairy  was 
absent  from  his  cradle  of  Second  .\venue 
:il  llu-  surely  auspicious  christening?

Imagine  the  thrill  these  words  gave  Mr.  Ferdinand  Hohnhorst.  ul 
Covington,  Ky.,  as  he  stood  on  a  crowded  street,  watching  the  great  Peace 
Parade,  when  Meyer's  Military  Band  came  swinging  along  playing  his 
>ong,  "Uncle  Sam,  the  Peaceful  Fighting  Man."  But  let  him  tell  his  story 
in  his  own  \\  ords  : — 

Chcslcr  Music   Cuui/uniy  Covinglou,   Ky. 

Chiciiyo,  III.  1941  AuijHStiuc  St. 

"Gentlemen — My  song  entitled  'Uncle  Sa)n.  the  Peaceful  pighl- 
ing  Man,'  that  your  Mr.  friednurn  composed  and  arranged  for  me,  is 
making  a  great  hit.  In  the  Peace  Parade  at  Latonia,  Ky.,  Meyer's 
Military  Band  played  my  song  three  times,  and  we  have  no^c  had 
it  arranged  for  orchestras  and  quartelies.  and  if  is  making  a  good  im- 
pression cveryivhcre.  The  Foealstyle  Music  Company.  Cineinnali. 
Ohio,  a  concern  manufacturing  music  rolls  for  player  planus,  has 
taken  up  my  song,  and  has  already  sold  over  a  thousand  of  these  rolls 
in  Cincinnati  alone,  and  are  placing  them  in  their  bulletin  fur  April, 
which  7vill  go  to  all  the  different  cities. 

'M/,v  song  also  has  made  a  decided  hit  among  school  children,  and 
has  been  introduced  into  several  of  the  Cincinnati  schools.  Thank- 
ing you  most  kindly  for  the  services  you  have  rendered  }nc.  I  remain. 
Yours  very  truly,  (Signed)  Ferdinand  Hohnhorst." 

LEO  FRIEDMAN,  Our  Composer 

of  whom  Mr,  Hohnhorst  speaks  so  enthusiastically 

_  is  one  of  America's  most  gifted  composers  and  the  authin  ul 
many  great  song'  hits,  .'\mong  his  great  .successes  are  "Meet 
Me  "Tonight  in  Dreainland,"  the  sales  of  which  reached  tin 
ctinrmiiiis  total  of  more  tli.in  two  million  copies.  Others  that 
feacheil  into  the  millioti  cl.iss  were  "Let  Me  Call  You  Sweet- 
heart" and  "When  I  Dream  of  Old  Erin."  !Mr.  Friedman 
writes  music  to  words,  that  cause  them  to  fairly  throh  with 
feeling  and  musical  charm.  He  has  been  styled  "America's 
I'avorite  Composer,"  and  properly  so,  for  his  melodies  have 
reached  the  hearts  of  millions  of  the  American  people,  and 
Leo  Friedman  made  theui  siug.

The  Cellul 

(Coiitiinird  f> 

There  is  an  interesting  cast.  Wynd- 
hatn  Standing  is  the  murdered  one. 
MaltUin  Hamilton  is  tlie  murderci;  Note 
i<evallcs  is  the  imi-nlso,  Naomi  Childcrs 
is  the  innocmt  wife  of  tlie  mm-dcred  man 
and  Lawson  P.utt  is  a  fr.end  w!,o  acts 
rvs  protagonist  of  tlic  K.ng  c.-ecd.  Th.u 
hinl  speaks  tl,e  tlieory.  Of  th>s  cast,  wc 
hand  the  larger  p.ntioti  of  our  pra.se  to 
Miss  Cliilders.  Never  licfore  was  slie  so 
warm  and  moving.  Only  once  or  twice 
did  she  lapse  from  a  fine  repression 

Somehow  or  other.  William  de  M.He  s 
visualization  of  the  Kdward  People 
drama,  "The  Prince  Chap,  gave  us  a 
large  measure  of  entertainment.  Now, 
"The  Prince  Chap"  is  not  technically 
.rood  The  lesser-known  De  MiHe  s  direc- 
Tion  is  along  cut-and-dried  lines.  I  he 
People  stor^itself  is  basically  as  tnte  as 
1  the  weekly  comic  journals  and  as  tai 
1  from  actuality  as  a  best  seller.  >et 
the  thing  stands  appealing  and  mgratiat- 
ing.  even  if  it  isn't  life. 

How  manv  times  have  grey-haired  but 
distinguished  guardians  fallen  in  love 
with  their  pretty  wards— in  fiction  and 
tlie  drama?  Here  a  young  artist  loving 
and  beloved  by  an  American  girl  goes 
nflf  to  London  to  study.  There  chance 
forces  him  to  as.sume  charge  of  a  little 
motherless  girl.  Tlie  child  grows  up  and 
l„ve  "^lowlv  blossoms.  The  far-away 
princess,  of  whom  the  artist  has  many 
times  tuld  tlie  child,  marries  another,  as 
far-away  ladies  often  do,  but  the  lonelv 
artist  does  not  quite  believe  that  his  ward 
can  care  for  him— the  prince  chap  of  her 
dream.  But,  of  course,  she  does,  and 
things  end  happily.  ^,      „      ,      i. 

Out    of    "The    Prince    Chap'    stands 
i  little  Lila  Lee.    We  frcquendy  telt  it  our 
critical  duty  to  comment  rather  dispar- 
'  agingly  upon  Miss  Lee  when  she  was  first 
'  thrust  upon  the  screen  as  a  star.     But 
i   Miss  Lee  had  the  courage  to  go  back  to 
the  very  bottom  and  start  anew.    She  has 
I   justified  herself  in  "The  Prince  Chap. 
'   Her  playing  of  the  girlish  Claudia,  just 
i  budding  into  life,  is  a  charming  and  infi- 
nitely  touching    study   of   melting   girl- 
I  «r,manlioud.     Anyone  who  can  play  so 
1  svmiiathetically  is  sure  to  go  far. 

■  We  thought  Thomas  Meighan  ade- 
quate as  the  artist,  altho  he  does  not  sug- 
i;est  the  prince  chap  of  our  conception. 
;  Xor  is  Kathlvn  Williams  rightly  cast  as 
the  princess.'  But  Charles  Ogle  does 
some  excellent  character  work  as  an  old 
servitor  who  follows  the  prince  chap  to 
!  London. 

i  On  William  de  Mille's  direction  wc 
have  commented.  Once  he  even  permits 
'  the  plaver  who  depicts  the  studio  land- 
lady to' go  thru  an  elaborate  pantomime 
indicating  eviction  when  she  tries  to  col- 
lect her  bill.  Subtlety  is  missing— and 
yet  "The  Prince  Chap"  stands  as  good 
entertainment. 

Allan  Dwan's  "The  Scoffer,  (First 
National),  is  above  the  recent  Dwan  av- 
erage. Here  is  a  sort  of  comhinalion  of 
the  spiritual  uplift  of  "The  Miracle 
Man"  and  the  regeneration  note  of  '  The

Ki-hl  of  Wav."     His  wife  having  disap- 
peared  with  another,   and  having  been 
sent  to  prison  unjustly  convicted  of  an 
illegal  operation,  a  young  doctor,  cursing 
Cod  and  man,  goes  ofi!  into  tlie  North- 
western lumber  camps.    He  has  resolved 
never  again  to  aid  man  thru  his  science. 
How  his  cynicism  gives  way  before  the 
faith   of   a'  mountain   girl   and   how   he 
comes  to  save  a  little  boy  from  death 
form  the  story.     There  is  a  picturesque 
scene   in   which   misunderstanding   lum- 
bermen mob  the  cabin  where  he  is  per- 
forming   an    operation    upon    the    boy. 
They  destroy  his  lights  before  they  un- 
derstand,     in    desperation,    the    doctor 
calls  upon  God  for  aid.  whereupon  a  bolt 
of  licrhtning  hits  a  hut  nearby  and  the 
resultant   fllmies   i>rovide   the    necessary 
illumination  for  the  successful  conclusion 
of  the  operation. 

J;unes  Kirkwood  is  the  cynical  one 
who  is  redeemed.  Somehow  his  cyni- 
cism seems  too  lightly  shaded.  One  never 
(luite  believes  him  so  lacking  in  godliness 
as  the  subtitles  try  to  make  us  believe. 
Noah  Beery  really  stands  out  as  a 
drunken  lumberjack  who  gets  religion.  ^ 
Marshall  Neilan  has  blended  Poe's 
"Murders  of  the  Rue  Morgue,"  the  re- 
cent newspaper  tales  of  transplanted 
monkey  glands  and  a  dash  of  journalistic 
romanced  plus  a  serial  view-point  of  life, 
in  making  his  "Go  and  Get  It,"  (First 
National). 

Page  your  credulities  when  you  go  to 
see  it.  'First  of  all.  there  is  a  wicked 
newspaper  publisher  who  is  trying  to 
wreck  his  paper,  owned  by  a  rich  young 
woman,  so  that  he  can  buy  it  m  with  the 
help  of  the  rival  publisher.  To  do  this 
he  'phones  all  his  news  stories  to  the 
rival  and  holds  them  out  of  his  own 
paper.  To  the  office  comes  a  returned 
soldier-reporter  and  a  young  and  pretty 
girl  news-gatherer. 

At  this  time  the  city  is  startled  by  a 
series  of  murders.     These,  it  develops, 
were  committed  by  a  monkey  to  whom  a 
surgeon  has  transplanted  the  brain  of  an 
executed  murderer.     This  is  revealed  as 
the  film  unfolds,  but  Neilan  finds  it  nec- 
essary to  send  his  hero-reporter  leaping 
from  aeroplane  to  aeroplane  and  from 
'plane  to   speeding  train  before  he  lets 
him  discover  the  .same  thing.    Finally  the 
boy  gets  his  news  heat,  the  unscrupulous 
publisher   is    unmasked   and   everything 
ends  happily,  for  the  girl  reporter  whom 
the  young  'chap  has  come  to  love  turns 
out  'to  be  the  newspaper  owner  herself. 
This  sounds  involved.     But  "Go  and 
■    Get  Tt"  is  involved.     Lideed.  it  is  almost 
"Intoleranceian"    in    its    leaping    from 
thread  to  thread.     We   doulit   its  wide 
success.    To  us  it  seems  an  elaborate  ef- 
fort to  develop  a  thrill  melodrama,  and 
the  effort  is  apparent  all  thru.  Pat  O'Mal- 
ley   is   the    fearless   stunt    reporter  and 
Agnes  Avres  is  the  pretty  owner,  but  the 
real  honors  go  to  the  young  and  freckled 
Wesley  Barry,  who  burns  up  the  produc-

The  Glass  of  Youth 

(Coiiliiuicd  jroiii  pui/e  .^0) 
shall  be  in  me  of  success,  of  ])roniisc,  I 
owe  to  her.  .'^he  had  a  limitless  patience 
with  me,  as  she  has  with  all  persons  and 
all  things — savin;,'  only  when  she  is  in  a 
temper." 

'Mas  she  a  temper.'" 

"Oof !"  He  threw  up  his  hands  and 
tnid  me  of  an  incident,  or  more  than  an 
incident  to  him,  when  on  a  tour  witli 
her.     I  think  it  was  in  Havana. 

He  had  been  told,  he  said,  that  the  tour 
was  to  end  rather  abruptly.  Thinking 
the  information  was  to  be  accredited,  he, 
in  turn,  passed  it  on  to  someone  else. 
Madame  Bernhardt  sent  for  him  and  ac- 
cused him  of  misinformation.  He  a[i- 
pealed  to  her  secretary  for  confirmation 
and  the  secretary  denied  the  truth.  The 
youthful  Gaston  told  said  secretary  what 
he  thought  of  him,  and  Madame  lost  her 
temjier  to  the  extent  of  hurling  sonie  sil- 
verware about  and  informing  Mr.  Glass 
that  he  was  a  fool,  would  never  be  an 
actor  and.  in  brief,  to  be  gone  from  her 
sight  and  her  company. 

Later  on,  she  telegraphed  him  for  his 
return — which  he  did  not  make. 

He  told  me  this  with  a  certain  pUiin- 
tiveness  and  regrctfulness.  .V  certain 
hesitancy  and  fragmentariness.  He  has 
a  perspective  in  it,  but  the  regret  he  felt 
at  it  tinges  his  memory  still.  He  has,  it 
is  evident,  an  admiration  of  Bernhardt 
mixed  with  love,  and  a  love  mixed  with 
achniration. 

"She  told  me,"  he  said,  "that  I  would 
never  be  an  actor.  How  did  I  dare  to 
suppose  I  e\er  would  be ?  .A.nd  I  told 
her.  'But,  Madame,  you,  you  .yourself . 
are  the  one  who  told  me  that  T 
should  be  an  actor,  nothing  but  an  actor, 
all  the  time  an  actor' — and  now  I  have 
but  the  one  ambition — when  Madame 
Bernhardt  returns  to  this  countr}',  I 
want  to  be  playing  on  Broadway.  I 
want  to  make  Iier  see,  I  want  her  to 
know  that  once  slie  was  right  and  once 
she  was  wrong,  but  that  it  was  the  first 
time,  tlie  early  v'ears  wherein  she  was 
most  ric/ht." 

In  "Romeo  and  Jane,"  the  comedy 
which  played  on  Broadway  for  a  short 
while  and  which  is  to  return  there  in  the 
fall,  Mr.  Glass  made  a  notable  success. 
The  critics  compared  him  to  Lou-Telle- 
gen  to  the  extent  of  warning  Mr.  Telle- 
gen  to  look  to  his  lain"els.  Gaston  Glass 
showed  mc  the  clipping  with  this  ci"iti- 
cism  with  some  glee.  "I've  sent  it  to 
Tellegen,"  he  said.  "I  know  him.  of 
course,  and  I  am  wondering  how  he  will 
take  it.  Probably,"  he  observed,  naively, 
"he  will  be  as  mad  as  anything." 

When  Tilr.  Glass  first  came  to  this 
country  a  little  more  than  a  year  ago,  he 
knew  not  one  word  of  English,  nothing 
of  pictures  and  less  of  the  customs  of 
llie  country  in  general.  .\  native  pliabil- 
ity and  adaptability,  the  artist  who 
knows  all  things,  all  peoples  and  all  con- 
ditions without,  paradoxically  enough, 
actually  knowing  them  at  all,  is  respon- 
sible for  the  perfection  with  which  he 
has    fitted    inid    the    scheme    of    things. 


CLASSIC 

screenically,  socially,  professionally — 
every  way. 

Already,  and  notably,  he  has  been  in 
"Oh,  You  Women,"  with  Louise  Huff ; 
"Let's  Elope,"  with  Marguerite  Clark ; 
"The  Lost  Battalion."  "Mothers  of 
Men,"  with  Claire  Whitney ;  "Humor- 
esque"  and  "The  World  and  His  Wife," 
with  Alma  Rubens ;  and  "The  Branded 
Woman,"  with  Norma  Talmadge.  He  is 
to  do  other  pictures  with  Norma. 

Previous  to  his  picture  work,  Gaston 
Glass  was  a  pilot  in  the  French  Air  Serv- 
ice. He  first  came  to  this  country,  in 
fact,  for  the  French  Air  Service. 

I  asked  him  what  he  thought  was  the 
difference  between  the  theater  in  this 
country  and  in  his  own. 

He  said,  "It  is  not  so  much  a  matter 
of  studv  here.  It  is  almost  wholly  a 
matter  of  recreation." 

I  asked  him  what  made  him  prefer  the 
pursuance  of  his  art  in  this  country 
rather  than  in  his  own. 

He  said,  "Money — why  not?" 

Having  no  adequate  answer  to  so  es- 
sentially sane  a  question,  I  gave  none. 

I  asked  him.  further,  what  he  thought 
of  the  American  girls,  comparatively. 

He  eschewed  the  query.  "There  is 
nothing  comparative,"  he  said,  "about 
girls.  I  adore  them — all."  He  added, 
plaintively.  "There  is  just  one  thing 
about  the  American  girls  .  .  .  they  all 
say  tlie  same  thing  to  me  .  .  .  and  I  do 
not  know  how  to  take  it.  Maybe  you 
will  tell  me.  They  say  to  me,  Norma 
Talmadge,  too,  'Dont  lose  your  accent, 
or  you  will  lose  your  personality.'  How 
shall  I  take  a  thing  like  that  ?" 

He  was  quite  plaintive  and  I  had  to 
laugh.  "They  all  mean  it  in  a  compli- 
mentary sense,"  I  said,  with  soothing  re- 
assurance, "of  course  .  .  .  but  .  .  . 
dont  lose  it!" 


TENDER-HEARTED  TILLIE 

By  Wright  Field 

Slie  never  could  abide  the  sight  of  sorrow. 
And  other  people's  suff'ring  made  her  wince ; 
.^he  once  cut  off  a  worm's  head  in  an  apple, 
And  so  she  never  peeled  an  apple  since. 
When   baking   day   came   'round   she    shunned 

the  kitchen. 
The  sight  of  pain  she  always  tried  to  shirk — 
She  was  so  ver}-,  very  tender-hearted 
She  couldn't  hear  to  see  her  motlicr  work ! 

She  kept  her  room  religiously  on  Sunday 

Until  the  diimcr  on  the  table  lay, 

It  hurt  her  so  to  see  her  mother  cooking 

And  serving  meals  upon  the  Sabbath  day; 

About  the  hammock  on  the  front  piazza 

On  Monday  mornings  she  would  always  lurk, 

While  mother  on  the  back  porch  did  the 

washing — 
She  couldn't  bear  to  see  her  mother  work! 

'Twas  bad  enough  to  watch  her  parent  bending 
With  aching  back  above  the  steaming  tub. 
Worse  still  to  see  her  furrovired  forehead 

sweating 
When  halls  and  floors  she  was  compelled  to 

scrub ; 
And  when  the  day  for  mending  and  for  ironing 
Arrived,  the  sight  she  felt  she'd  have  to  shirk, 
And  so  went  shopping — tender-hearted  Tillie 
Just  couldn't  bear  to  see  her  mother  work !

More  Bubble  Grains 

Millions  of  dishes  coming 

Direct  from  the  harvest  fields  we  get  the  choicest  wheat  that  grows. 
Then  we  seal  the  grains  in  guns,  apply  a  fearful  heat  and  explode  them. 
They  come  out  as  bubble  grains,  flimsy  and  flaky — puffed  to  eight  times 
normal  size.     Yet  the  grains  remain  shaped  as  they  grew. 

Every  night  of  the  coming  year  millions  of  children  will  enjoy  this 
Puffed  Wheat  in  their  bowls  of  milk. 

Three  grains  now  exploded 

Three  grains  are  now  puffed  by  Prof.  Anderson's  process,  and  each 
has  its  own  delights. 

Puffed  Wheat  and  Puffed  Rice  are  whole  grains.  Corn  Puffs  are 
corn  hearts  puffed. 

All  are  thin  and  airy — all  have  exquisite  flavor.     And  every  food 
cell  is  blasted  for  easy,  com- 
plete digestion. 

Serve  all  of  them  in.  all  the 
ways  you  can,  for  no  other 
form  of  grain  food  can  com- 
pare with  these.

.\nd,  speakinj;  of  Ray,  I  met  his 
fatlier.  who  is  visiting  him  at  present, 
and  I  want  to  say  right  here  and  now 
tliat  the  elder  Ray.  straiglit,  tall  and 
handsome,  would  make  a  real  rival  for 
his  son  in  the  malince  girls'  hearts  did 
he  ever  wish  to  invade  the  silent  drama. 

One  of  the  most  interesting  stories 
heing  told  around  Los  .Vngeles  these 
davs  is  that  of  Tony's  house.  It  seems 
that  the  handsome  .Antonio  Moreno 
longed  for  a  real  home,  a  bungalow,  .'^o 
he  went  to  work  and  bought  a  beautiful 
little  jilace  in  the  foothills.  Then  came 
the  task  of  gelling  servants,  buying  food 
and  running  the  ]ilace  generally.  The 
servants  imposed  on  Tony  for  special 
privileges  and  special  hours,  and  they  ate 
him  out  of  house  and  home.  Tony  found 
that  buving  his  own  bacon  wasn't  so 
fascinating  as  he  thought  it  would  be, 
so  he  literally  threw  up  his  hands,  sent 
the  whole  troop  of  parasitic  servants 
packing,  forfeited  his  initial  payment  on 
the  house  and  said,  "Good  riddance." 
Now  Tony  is  back  at  the  Athletic  Club, 
bag  and  baggage,  and  perfectly  content 
to  let  the  other  fellow  take  tlie  responsi- 
bility. Even  the  men  find  that  house- 
keeiiing  isn't  what  it  is  cracked  up  to  be. 

.\ctually  the  most  thrilling  event  of 
the  month  in  Hollywood  was  staged 
when  that  daredevil  aviator,  Lieutenant 
Locklear.  performed  for  his  Fox  fea- 
ture. I  arrived  on  the  scene  just  in  time 
to  have  a-  short  talk  with  him  before  he 
went  up  in  his  aeroplane.  His  flying 
field  is  a  flat  valley  almost  surrounded  by 
(iiu'pling  hills.  Here  a  church  had  been 
iniill  for  the  picture  and  a  road  wound 
past  it.  On  either  side  of  the  road  tow- 
ers had  been' erected  for  the  camera-men 
and  directors.  Locklear  himself  is  a 
charming  Texan,  tall,  boyish  and  sin- 
cere .  .  .  and  he  actually  doesn't  know 
the  meaning  of  physical  fear.  He  was 
wearing  a  dinner  suit  for  picture  pur- 
poses and  was  as  interested  in  whether 
his  make-up  was  on  straight  as  a  child 
is  with  a  new.  toy.  Finally  the  signal 
was  given  that  everything  was  ready  and 
Lieutenant  Locklear  vaulted  into  his 
jilane.  He  had  his  favorite  pilot  at  the 
wheel,  because  he  himself  was  to  do  the 
stunts.  Li  the  picture  he  was  supposed 
to  be  pursuing  a  band  of  robbers  in  an 
automobile.  Down  the  rr)ad  past  the 
church  sjied  the  auto,  and  thru  the  air 
svyooped  the  jilane,  then  dipped  down 
over  the  aulo  while  Locklear  climbed  out 
on  the  wings  and,  hanging  just  out  of 
reach  of  the  ])nipeller.  shot  at  the  rob- 
bers. A  shuddei'ran  thru  the  vast  crowd 
of  onlookers  and  jienple  held  their  breath 
until  he  had  balanced  himself  along  the 
wings  and  climbed  back  .safely  to  his  seat. 

"Oh.  that  was  nothing,"  he  said  when 
everybody  oh'd  and  ah'd  at  him,  on  his* 
landing,  and  he  meant  it. 

Several  times  he  performed  the  same 
death-defying  stunt  so  that  the  camera 
would  be  sure  and  get  it,  and  later  he 


that  one  of  the 
wings  knocked  down  the  church  steeple. 
None  of  us  onlookers  dared  watch  this 
exploit,  so  we'll  have  to  go  see  the  pic- 
ture before  we  know  what  really  hap- 
pened. The  next  thing  we  knew  he  was 
back  safe  on  the  ground,  a  little  out  of 
breath  and  saying: 

"Gee.  this  suit  is  a  mess." 

May  .\Uison's  sister,  Mrs.  Wright,  was 
a  delegate  to  the  Democratic  convention 
at  .San  Francisco  from  Tennes.see.  At 
the  close  of  the  convention,  almost  every 
politician  you  have  ever  heard  of  begged 
her  to  get  him  a  permit  to  visit  the  Metro 
studio.  Poor  May  did  her  best  for  her 
si.ster's  friends,  but  she  .says  she  was 
quite  overcome,  for  each  and  every  one 
of  them  wanted  to  know  how  they  could 
get  into  the  movies,  (mainly  in  the  busi- 
ness end). 

Speaking  of  Metro,  T  saw  Nazimova 
assist  in  directing  a  huge  theater  scene 
for  her  next  picture,  "Madame  Peacock," 
the  other  day.  Nazimova  is  another  who 
allows  no  one  on  her  set  when  she  is 
working.  Screens  are  placed  all  around 
it  and  huge  placards  inform  one,  "Mad- 
ame Nazimova  .set.  .\bsolutely  no  one 
allowed  except  those  taking  part."  Being 
small,  I  slipped  in  where  angels  fear  to 
tread.  Over  three  hundred  extras  were 
]ilaying  audience  in  a  theater  scene. 
Madame  Nazimova's  newest  undertaking 
is  assisting  in  the  direction  of  her  own 
pictures. 

I  talked  to  Wallace  MacDonald  in  a 
remarkable  duplication  of  Greenwich 
Village's  "Pirates'  Den."  He  was  play- 
ing lead  for  May  .'Mlison  in  her  new  pic- 
ture, ".Are  All  Men  Alike?"  I  tried 
very  hard  to  get  him  to  admit  his  mar- 
riage to  Doris  May,  which  all  the  film 
colony  has  suspected,  but  he  only  smiled, 
denied  it  and  then  as.sured  me  that  Miss 
May  was  quite  the  most  wonderful  girl 
in  the  world.  In  among  the  extras  in  the 
scene  was  \\'allace's  younger  brother. 
Wallace  has  just  brought  him  out  here 
from  their  home  in  Nova  Scotia,,  and  he 
is  getting  his  start  and  practical  training 
in  that  way.  He  is  a  good-looking  young 
chap. 

Another  interesting  young  personage 
in  Miss  Allison's  ".Are  All  Men  .-Mike?" 
is  Henry  Miller's  young  son.  He  looked 
very  pallid  and  far  from  strong  to  me, 
but  everyone  raves  about  his  histrionic 
ability. 

.Mice  Lake  was  busily  at  work  on 
"Body  and  .Soul."  She  is  a  rather  exotic 
little  creature  and  a  clever  actress.  She 
was  wearing  a  black  evening  frock  and 
carrying  a  blue  ostrich  fan  in  the  cabaret 
scene  that  was  being  taken  when  I  saw 
her,  and  in  between  .shots  she  could 
scarcely  keep  from  shimmying",  the 
music  of  the  orchestra  was  so  peppy. 
!^tuart  Holmes  is  the  wild,  wild  villain  in 
this  picture,  and,  a  queer  diing,  the  hero 
hadn't  even  been  jiicked  out  at  that  time. 
Director  Charles  .Swickard  explained  to 
me  that  all  the  work  was  the  villain's  and

A  New  Art 

is  calling  to  people  Avho  have  ideas 

Motion  picture  producers  and  stars  are  searching  the  country  for 
new  workable  story-ideas,  for  there's  a  famine  in  photoplays 
which  has  now  become  acute.  New  writers — now  unknown — 
must  be  developed  soon.  So  this  is  a  call  to  you  to  take  up  a 
new  profession  and  win  a  new  success. 


SOMEWHERE  in  America  this  year 
scores  of  new  photoplaywrights  must 
be  developed,  and  your  opportunity  to 
win  success  is  as  good  as  anyone's. 

For  literary  ability  is 
not  required — one  need 
never  have  written  pre- 
viously for  any  purpose 
whatsoever. 


f 


Dorothea  Nourse 
Attributes  her  suc- 
cess as  photoplay 
writer  to  the  Palmer 
Plan. 


Ideas  about  life,  imag- 
ination, and  a  willing- 
ness to  try  are  the  sole 
essentials. 

Who  hasn't  thought 
while  viewing  some  pic- 
ture, "I  have  a  better 
idea  than  that"?  And 
who  hasn't  had  the 
desire  tti  try  to  ivnie  that  better  photo- 
play? 

The  thing  to  do  is  act  tioiv — begin  to- 
day— learn  how  to  put  your  ideas  into 
the  proper  form  for  presentation  to  pro- 
ducers. 

The    Form's  The    Thing 

NEXT  to  ideas,  the  most  important 
phase  of  this  new  art  is  the  arrange- 
ment of  ideas.  And  that  is  what  is  now 
being  taught  most  successfully  by  cor- 
respondence through  the  Palmer  Plan — 
taught  to  people  who  have  never  written 
and  who  never  thought  that  they  could 
write. 

Note  the  pictures  of  men  and  women

5000   New   Photoplays 
Are  Needed 

THE  dearth  of  photoplays  plots  is  an 
actual  one  —  5000  new  ideas  are 
needed.  The  great  producers  must  have 
many  for  immediate  production. 

For  20,000,000  people  are  attending  mo- 
tion picture  theatres  daily,  and  they  don't 
want  the  same  plays  twice.  This,  remem- 
ber, is  now  the  world's  fourth  largest 
industry,  and  is  still  it's  fastest  growing 
one. 

Producers  are  paying  from  $250  to 
$3000  for  successful  first  attempts  by  un- 
known writers.    They  must  hold  out  these 


Inducements  to  pet  the  stories,  to  develop 
neiv  'writers  into  photoplaywrights. 

On  this  great  wave  scores  will  rise  to 
new  fame,  and  you  may  be  one  of  them. 
Don't  think  you  may  not  be — "what  you 
think,  so  you  are,"  is  a  truth  that  all 
should  seriously  ponder. 

In  addition  to  those  whose  pictures 
are  shown,  the  following  novices  have 
lately  won  success  under  the  Palmer  Plan: 

George   Hughes,  of   Toronto,   Canada; 

Martha  Lord,  now  staff  writer  for  Clara 

Kimball     Young;     Idyl

to  succeed  and  sell  your  stories. 

The  Palmer  Plan 

THE  Palmer  Plan  of  Education  in 
Photoplay  Writing  teaches  the  tech- 
nique of  photoplay  writing.  It  is  indorsed 
by  the  substantial  men  of  the  profession 
because  it  represents  their  ideas  of  the 
proper  kind  of  training — and  the  training 
of  new  writers,  they  plainly  see,  is  the 
industry's  vital   need. 

So  on  our  Advisory  Council  are  such 
famous  producers  as  Cecil  B.  DeMille, 
director-general  of  the  Famous-Players 
Lasky  Corp.,  and  Thos.  H.  Ince,  head  of 
the  renowned  Thos.  H.  Ince  Studios.  Also 
Lois  Weber,  noted  di- 
rector and  producer, 
and  Rob  Wagner,  who 
writes  of  the  industry 
in  the  Saturday  Even- 
ing Post. 

Twelve  other  leading 
men  and  women  of  the 
profession  contribute 
lectures  to  the  course. 


And  the  best  known 
players  of  national  rep- 
utation who  constantly 
need  new  plays,  un-

Athalie 

{Continued  from  page  57) 

malicious  face  of  the  utlicr  woman,  grew 
fixed  and  far  awav.  "There  are  moun- 
tains,  white,  with   cold  hlack   shadows, 

and  a  hut  among  them " 

Winifred  Bailey  started,  sat  upright 
,-ind  cast  a  quick,  hunted  look  at  the  man 
lieside  her,  Arnold  Wayne.  "What  is  she 
saying?"  she  whispered.  "How  does  she 
know  ?" 

"So  small."  the  strange  tone  was  say- 
ing yearningly,  and  Athalie  held  out  her 
,inns  as  a  woman  to  a  child,  "so  sweet ! 
But  it  needs  some  one  to  love  it !    Babies 

must  he  loved  or  they  die " 

"Stop  her!  She  shall  not — oh,  my 
God !" 

Arnold  Wayne,  his  own  face  grey, 
jerked  at  Winifred's  arm.  "Sit  down! 
Are  you  mad !  She  cant  prove  anything. 
It's  all  guesswork,  I  tell  you !" 

But  Winifred  did  not  heed  or  hear. 
Her  wide  eyes  were  turned  toward  the 
unseeing  figure  before  them,  cradling 
emptiness  in  her  arms.  "See  !  Cant  you 
see  it!  My  baby!  Our  baby,  Tony — 
that  I  left  in  Switzerland  I  The  old 
woman  said  she  was  dead,  but — I  see 
her— plainly "  and  she  slid,  crump- 
ling, down  upon  his  shoulder.  With  suti- 
den  tenderness  the  man  took  her  in  his 
arms,  as  one  who  holds  what  is  his  own, 
and  faced  the  room  manfully. 

"I  dont  know  how  she  guessed  our  se- 
cret, friends,"  W'ayne  said  slowly,  "but 
by  heaven,  I'm  glad!  Bailey,  it's  the 
truth.  Winifred  belongs  to  me,  and  I 
shall  take  her.  You  will  have  to  give  her 
her  freedom,  and  I'll  marry  her,  as  I 
should  have  married  her  five  years  ago!" 
Pineport  lapped  up  the  news  as  a  cat 
laps  up  the  choicest  cream.  Athalie 
Greensleeve  back,  eh?  And  that  city 
feller  Bailey  hanging  around,  looking  like 
he  didn't  see  nothing  else  in  all  the  world 
'cept  her.  Well,  jest  as  we  always  said, 
the  city  warn't  no  place  for  a  gal — look 
how  she's  fell  away !  She  aint  long  for 
this  world,  that's  certain  .   .   . 

Clive  Bailey  was  the  only  one  who 
would  not  see  that  Athalie  was  very  i 
He  was  full  of  breathless  plans  for  the 
future,  their  future,  that  they  would  enter 
upon  together  as  soon  as  the  legal  for- 
malities of  the  divorce  were  ended.  He 
knelt  beside  her  chair  under  the  budding 
•-pring  orchard  and  talked  eagerly,  pas- 
sionately, as  tho  to  drive  away  by  the 
very  impetus  of  bis  words  any  fear. 
.\nd  y\thalie  listened,  smiling  faintly,  say- 
ing little,  tho  her  eyes,  on  his  flushed, 
boyish  f.nce,  were  compassionate. 

Then  one  day,  he  came  and  threw  him- 
self down  on  the  grass  by  her  chair  and 
silently  laid  a  paper  on  her  lap.  She  read 
the  first  words  of  it.  laid  it  aside,  and 
their  eyes  met.  "Tomorrow — this  after- 
noon !"  he  begged  her,  "and  then — for- 
ever afterward,  oh,  my  dear!  my  dear!" 
"t  think — I  have  been  waiting  for 
this,"  Athalie  said  faintly.  "I  couldn't — 
go  until  you  h.ad  kist  me,  Clive.  .\nd 
now  you  shall  kiss  me — good-by." 

At  th.it  he  gave  a  desolate  cry,  and. 
rising,  flung  back  and  forth  under  the 
]iink  boughs,  defying  God  to  take  her 
away  just  when  he  had  got  her,  begging

<  iinl,  s;iyiny'  wild  tilings.  Presently  he  was 
liesido  her  aj^ain,  head  on  her  lap,  crying 
I  he  tearing,  difficult  tears  of  a  man.  She 
waited  nntil  he  was  quiet,  touching  the 
rougli,  dark  head  with  pitying  fingers. 
Then  .   .   . 

"If  you  love  me,  Clive,  you  cant  lose 
me,"  she  said;  "I'll  he  near  you  all  your 
days  and  nights.  Because  the  love  part 
of  me  wont  die." 

"Hut  it's  all  of  you  T  want,  Athalie!" 
the  earth-bound  soul  of  him  cried  ago- 
nizedly.  "What  am  I  going  to  live  on  all 
my  years?  What  have  I  got  to  reniem- 
lie'r?" 

"This  !"  Athalie  whispered.  She  drew 
him  up  to  her,  lifted  her  face  to  his  face. 
I'or  the  moment  she  was  not  spirit,  but 
.ill  woman,  warm,  tremulous,  passionate. 

"Kiss  me,  Clive !" 

With  his  li])s  on  hers,  his  arms  around 
her,  she  let  go  her  frail  hold  on  Life 
joyously.  For  her  the  glory  of  Love's 
promises  would  never  be  tarnished  by 
fullillment,  for  her  the  rose  of  joy  would 
never  fade  and  wither  in  her  hands. 

Her  First  Interview 

(Coittiiiiied  from  page  52) 
heavenly !     We  did  have  a  maid,  but  she 
thought  it  was  too  lonely.    We  never  get 
lonely,     do     we,     Lorrie?"     and     Viora 
.squeezed  her  friend's  hand. 

".She's  the  settled  one."  she  continued. 
".Sometimes  she  has  to  sit  on  me,  but  I 
always  mind  her,  dont  I?"  and  Viora 
beamed  on  Lorrie,  while  Lorrie  beamed 
fin  Viora. 

"What  in  the  world  would  you  have 
done  if  you  hadn't  found  each  other?"  I 
asked,  for  they  seem  such  kiddies  to  be 
alone. 

"Oh,  I  dont  knoic!"  they  exclaimed  in 
uni.son,  while  Lorrie  slipped  from  her 
chair  into  Viora's  lap  and  they  hugged 
.each  other  close. 

"It  was  Lorrie  that  started  this  picture 
business,  "  began  Viora.  "I  was  away  on 
a  little  visit,  and  when  I  came  back  I 
found  Lorrie  working  as  an  extra  here 
at  the  Lasky  studio.  Of  course,  I  came 
ri.ght  out  to  see  about  it.  Louis  Good- 
stadt,  the  casting  director,  picked  me  out 
and  gave  me  my  chance.  Everyone  says, 
'My,  how  hicky  you  are,'  and  I  know 
they  are  right.  I  have  been  lucky,  for, 
you  see,  I  just  bumped  into  it,  for,  really, 
I  was  never  even  stage-struck." 

"Viora  was  going  to  be  married " 

liegan  Lorrie. 

"Yes,"  sighed  Viora,  pensively,  "but 
after  I  began  in  pictures  I  didn't  want  to 
give  them  up,  so  I  chose  a  career  rather 
than  a  husband.  I'll  only  be  twenty- 
three  when  my  contract  expires,  and  that 
will  be  plenty  of  time  to  marry.  I  want 
a  whole  family  of  children,  too." 

The  first  thing  Viora  did  was  a  small 
part  with  Robert  Warwick  in  "The 
Fourteenth  Man."  Then  things  began  to 
happen  so  rapidly  that  she  hardly  had 
time  to  get  her  breath.  .She  played  the 
role  of  a  widow  in  Bryant  Washburn's 
"The  Sins  of  St.  Anthony"  so  seriously 
that  she  went  from  a  hundred  and  thirty 
jiounds  down  to  a  hundred  and  twenty- 
three.

"We  hike  and  ride  so  I'll  never  get 
fat."  she  remarked,  serenely.  "I  used  to 
ride  in  rodeos  when  1  was  a  youngster  on 
the  ranch.  Lorrie  and  1  wear  boy's 
clothes  at  home.  The  first  time  I  met 
Roscoe  1  had  on  my  hiking  logs,  and  I 
guess  he  thought  1  was  a  little  boy 
coming  to  work  with  him,"  and  both  girls 
indulged  in  a  giggle-icst. 

•■Roscoe  is  so  funny,  and  a  darling.  In 
fact,  the  whole  company  are  such  fun, 
and  thcv  all  help  me  in  every  way  they 
can.  I'dont  always  know  what  to  do, 
and  Roscoe  will  say,  'Now.  just  what  is 
it  you  want  Miss  Daniel  to  do  in  this 
scene:'  and  the  director  will  explain  it 
all  over  again. 

"The  greatest  fun  of  all  is  receiving  fan 
letters.  I'm  beginning  to  get  them,  have 
had  twenty  altogether.  We  get  so  ex- 
cited when  one  conies.  First  I  read  it, 
then  Lorrie  reads  it  aloud.  One  came  the 
other  day  from  Illinois,  and  it  spoke  of 
me  as  a  'famous  star.  That  tickled  me. 
(1h,  how  I  do  prize  them  !  Why.  they  are 
wiii-th  millions,  and  I  know  I  shall  never, 
never.  >n'vcr  be  bored  with  them." 

While  this  embryo  star  loves  comedy, 
she  dreams  of  becoming  an  emotional  ac- 
tress. She  adores  Nazimova  and  wor- 
ships Pauline  Frederick,  and  she  wants 
to  plav  with  Richard  Barthelmess,  too, 
some  dav.  "He's  so  li'onderful!"  she  ex- 
claimed,' which  phrase  means  about 
everything  to  an  enthusiastic,  effervescent 
girlish  point  of  view. 

As  we  started  back  to  the  set,  Viora 
grew  serious.  "Did  I  say  the  right 
things?  Was  that  the  way  to  be  inter- 
viewed?" which  shows  how  unspoiled 
she  is. 

With  her  beauty,  her  vi\id  imagina- 
tion, her  sweet,  girlish  enthusiasms  and 
hopes,  Viora  Daniel  promises  to  become 
a  favorite  twinkler. 


F.\IRY    STORIES    FOR   FILM    FANS 
By  Frank  H.  Williams 

Once  upon  a  time  there  was  a  star  who 
objected  to  having  his  name  appear  in  type 
larger  than  the  names  of  the  rest  o{  the  cast. 

Once  npon  a  time  a  comed\-  was  produced 
in  which  there  were  no  bathing  girls  nor  slap- 
stick. 

Once  npon  a  time  there  was  a  large-sized 
town  in  which  there  wasn't  a  single  girl  who 
thought  she  looked  like  Mary  Pickford. 

Once  upon  a  time  the  screen  version  of  a 
popular  novel  was  produced  just  as  the  novel 
was  written. 

Once  upon  a  time  a  screen  star  lived  happily 
with  his  first  .and  only  wife. 

Once  upon  a  time  a  motion  picture  camera- 
man actually  felt  that  he  couldn't  have  done 
any  better  than  the  director  for  whom  he 
turned  the  crank. 

Once  upon  a  time  a  famous  studio  didn't  re- 
ceive a  single  letter  from  aspirants  anxious  to 
enter  the  movies,  for  an  entire  day. 

Once  upon  a  time  in  a  big  movie  theater  dur- 
ing an  entire  evening  not  a  single  person  read 
a  title  out  aloud. 

Once  upon  a  time  a  very  beautiful  girl  who 
had  a  chance  to  go  into  the  movies  said  she 
preferred  to  stay  at  home  and  marry  the  son 
of  the  corner  butcher. 

Once  upon  a  time  a  great  picture  success 
was  produced  and  the  director,  camera-man. 
scenarist,  star,  leading  man,  producer  and 
even.body  agreed  that  the  entire  credit  for  the 
production's  success  was  due  to  the  author  of 
the  story.

Perhaps  you  feel  that 

there  is  nothing  left  for  you 

to  discover 

in  the  way  of  the 

unusual  in   any  of  the   magazines 

you  may  see  on  a  newsstand. 

But  you  are  wrong — 

For  after  you  have 
laughed  over  the 
drawings  and  comments  of 
ITynre  sent  us 
from  Paris; 

After  you  have  read  the  article 
by  Oliver  M.  Sayler 
on  the  perfection  of  the 
eabaret  in  Russia; 

After  you  have  dreamed  over 

the  delicate  beauty 

of  the  new  poems 

by  George  O'Neil, 

that  young  prodigy  of  twenty-three 

who  is  hailed  as  the 

coming  poet  of  .A.merica; 

And  after  you  have  lived  thru 

the  one-act  play 

called  "Damnably  Clever" 

by  Gladys  Hall  and  Dorothy  Donnell, 

we  feel  that  you  will  go  on 

your  way  rejoicing  that 

there  is  still  one  thing  left  in 

this  himidrum  slate 

of  affairs  which  is  absolutely 

new;  which  is  beautiful; 

which  is,  above  all  things, 

unusual. . 

Not  that  we  mean  to  infer  that 
the  above  is  all 
the  October  Shadowland 
offers — not  at  all,  for  there 
are  new  portraits,  new  articles 
of  current  interest,  and 
new  color  plates  of  new  stars 
and  other  luminaries.

Pacific  Coast  Paragraphs 

(Continued  from  page  92) 

the  hero  only  came  in  at  the  last  second 
to  save  the  "gal." 

1  met  F.arl  Rodney,  that  good-lookmg 
leadins;  man  in  Christie  comedies,  in 
Mollxwood  the  otlier  day.  He  was  all 
broken  vip  over  the  sudden  death  of  his 
motlier,  and  I  wish  to  express  here  our  I 
own  sincere  sympathy  for  him  in  his  I 
bereaxement. 

Out  at  Vitagraph  I  found  that  serials 
and  comedies  are  the  rage.     The  reason 
is  tliat  they  make  nearly  three  times  as 
great  a   i)rofit  on   serials  as  on   feature  1 
productions.  i 

lean  Paige  was  just  completing  "Hidden  I 
Dangers."  As  we  stood  beside  the  Vita- 
graph  swimming  pool,  I  almost  envied 
her  the  necessity  of  diving  in.  but  she 
assured  me  that  the  dangers  encountered 
in  serial  making  were  really  nerve-rack- 
ing. Thev  had  been  trying  to  get  a  pic- 
ture of  Joe  Ryan  saving  her  from 
drowniiig  in  a  sewer-pipe.  Up  to  that 
lime  all  that  had  been  accomplished  was 
ihe  cutting-up  of  Mr.  Ryan's  head  when 
he  dived  in  three  feet  of  water  to  "save" 
her.  Miss  Paige  was  eagerly  anticipat- 
ing a  three  weeks'  vacation  in  New  | 
York. 

Our  friend  Antonio  Moreno  is  also 
serialing,  and  this  time  he  is  directing 
himself  in  "The  Veiled  Mystery."  while 
\\illiam  Duncan  and  Edith  Johnson 
have  completed  "The  Silent  Avenger" 
and  are  starting  "The  Wizard  Spy- 
glass." 

And,  by  the  way,  while  I  was  in  the 
X'itagraph  office  word  came  thru  that 
"Lady  Fingers"  had  been  purchased  for 
F.arle  Williams'  next  production. 

X'itagraph  is  spending  a  great  deal  of 
money  on  Larry  Semon  and  his  come- 
dies. He  is  given  carte  blanche  for  his 
productions  and  writes,  acts  and  directs 
them  himself.  He  is  as  funny  behind  the 
camera  as  in  front  of  it. 

r^umor  says  that  Charlie  Chaplin's 
long  absences  from  the  screen  have  ne- 
cessitated the  arrival  of  a  new  comedian 
to  fill  his  shoes,  and  Harold  Lloyd  and 
Larry  Semon  are  spoken  of  as  the  only 
possibilities.  Frankly.  Harold  Lloyd  has 
alreadv  nearly  topped  him  in  the  heart 
of  the'  public.  In  all  the  large  \Vestern 
cities  I  have  found  Lloyd  comedies  ad- 
vertised as  the  main  attraction,  ahead  of 
the  feature. 

Besides  Ann  Forrest  and  Forrest  Stan- 
ley, other  members  chosen  for  Cecil  B. 
de  Mille's  new  all-star  cast  include  Clar- 
ence Burton,  Ann  May,  Theodore  Kos- 
loff,  Kathlyn  Williams,  Theodore  Rob- 
erts. Sliannon  Day  and  Bertram  Johns, 
llie  i)icture  is  still  tentatively  called 
■The  Other  Wife." 

Mildred  Harris  Chaplin  is  the  recipient 
of  an  offer  to  star  on  the  stage  in  New 
York  from  A.  H.  Woods.  Whether  she 
accepts  or  not.  she  intends  to  make  her 
next  F'irst  National  picture  in  New 
York. 

And.  by  the  way,  a  bitter  legal  battle 
for  the  custody  of  Baby  Marie  Osborne, 
highest  paid  juvenile  actress  in  the  world, 
will  probably  mark  the  divorce  suit  and

counter  complaint  of  pretty  F.dytlia  Os- 
borne and  Leon  T.  Osborne.  So  far,  all 
attempts  at  an  adjustment  out  of  court 
have  failed. 

Carlyle  Blackwell,  long  a  star  in  the 
early  days,  is  now  a  leading  man  for 
Marion  Davies. 

The  plans  for  producing  the  picture, 
"Foolish  Wives,"  at  Universal  City,  un- 
der the  direction  of  Erich  von  .Stroheim. 
called  for  too  much  attention  to  detail  to 
suit  Captain  George  W.  Hazen,  secret 
service  agent  for  the  Treasury  Depart- 
ment, and  consequently  warrants  were 
sworn  out  for  the  arrest  of  von  Stro- 
heim, Clarence  K.  Riley  of  the  Riley- 
Moore  Engraving  Company.  Gleb  de 
\^os,  artist  and  designer  employed  in  the 
art  department  of  the  Universal  Film 
.Manufacturing  Company,  and  three 
others,  on  charges  of  violating  section 
161  of  the  Federal  penal  code  relating 
to  counterfeiting  money. 

The  extreme  penalty  for  the  ofifense 
charged  against  them  is  a  fine  of  $5,000 
or  five  years'  imprisonment,  or  both, 
according  to  Captain  Hazen. 

"Moving  picture  producers  have  been 
flirting  with  the  counterfeiting  laws  for 
some  time,"  said  Captain  Hazen.  "We 
have  warned  them  repeatedly  and  ha\c 
confiscated  coimterfeit  money  from  them 
on  several  occasions.  There  is  no  such 
thing  as  'stage  money.'  Money  is  either 
real  or  counterfeit.  We  are  going  after 
motion  picture  peojjle  the  same  as  we 
would  any  other  violators  of  the  law." 

The  scene  of  the  picture,  "Foolish 
Wives,"  is  laid  at  Monte  Carlo,  and  the 
script  called  for  great  quantities  of 
French  money.  This,  it  is  charged,  the 
producers  undertook  to  reproduce  with 
too  great  accuracy  of  detail. 

A  get-together  meeting  between  rejire- 
sentatives  of  the  Los  Angeles  Chamber 
of  Commerce  and  motion  picture  pro- 
ducers recently  resulted  in  a  love-feast  at 
which  all  grievances  dissolved  into  thin 
air  and  a  spirit  of  cooperation  developed. 
The  meeting  Avas  held  following  com- 
plaints that  those  interested  in  motion 
picture  work  had  been  discriminated 
against  by  Los  -\ngeles  merchants. 

Bill  Hart  and  I  had  an  interesting  con- 
fab out  at  his  studio  one  hot  day  re- 
cently. Bill's  greatest  concern  at  present 
is  his  law  suit  against  Thomas  Ince,  for, 
as  Bill  puts  it,  "all  the  money  he  has  in 
the  world."  So  far,  things  look  opti- 
mistic for  Hart.  Our  great  Westerner  is 
really  pleased  with  the  picture  he  has 
just  finished,  called  "The  Testing  Block," 
a  story  of  the  Sierras.  Bill  is  writing 
his  own  stories  these  days,  "The'Cradle 
of  Courage"  being  from  his  pen. 

Clara  Kimball  Young  is  taking  a  two-

How  to  Obtain  Beautiful,  Rich, 
Long,    Eyelashes    and    Brows! 

EVERY     WOMAN    should    be    the    rightful    owner    of    beautiful    eyes,    the    essentials    of 
which   are.    First:      Long,   rich    eyelashes;    and    Second:      Well-cared-for   eyebrows.     No 
matter    what    tolor    your    eyes    may    be, — gray,    brown    or    blue. — if    they    are    shaded 
by  thick,  silky  lashes,  and  well-shaped  brows,  their  charm  is  greatly  accentuated. 

Nowadays,  no  one  needs  to  be  the  dissatisfied  possessor  of  short,  thin,  uneven  brows 
and  lashes-  you  can  greatly  assist  Nature  by  simply  applying  a  httle  of  M.  T.'s  Eyelash 
and  Eyebrow  Beautifier  at  night.  This  scientific  preparation  nourishes  the  eyebrows  and 
eyelashes,  causing  them  to  become  gradually  thick  and  lustrous,  imparting  sparkling  ex- 
pression to  the  eyes,  and  added  charm  to  the  face. 

M     T.'s   Eyelash   and    Eyebrow   Beautifier.   which   has   been    successfully   used    by   thous- 
ands    is    euaranteed    absolutely    harmless;    it    is    not    a    greasy,    sticky    salve,    but    a    clean, 
nicely-perfumed    liauid.    in    a   tut    glass    bottle   v^^th    glass   stopper   and    applicator.        The    cut 
represents  actual  size  of  bottle.     The  active   principle   of   this  valuable  article  is  a   rare   and 
expensive    organic    concentration    which    is    unequalled    for    the    purpose    of    stimulating    and 
-ttrengthening  the  particular  follicles  which  produce  rich,  dark  eyelashes.

A\nT10N    PICTURE 

The  Celluloid  Critic 

(Continued  from  page  88) 
tion  as  a  bespectacled  newspaper  office 
boy.    You'll  like  him. 

Far  and  away  the  best  thing  of  nur 
month — in  points  of  workmanship  and 
humanness — is  the  latest  Mrs.  Sidney 
Drew  comedy,  "The  Unconventional 
Maida  Greenwood,"  of  her  series  of  Julian 
Street's  "After  Thirty"  stories.  This  is 
another  near-amorous  adventure  of  the 
susceptible  Jimsie  Wickett.  This  time 
his  understanding  wife  returns  just  in 
time  to  diplomatically  cure  Jimsy  of  his 
affaire  with  a  Bohemian  studio  c^.veller 
whose  soul,  according  to  the  best  seer 
information,  is  just  in  tune  with  his  own. 
The  lack  of  dramatic  overemphasis,  the 
adroit  filming  of  thought  rather  than 
physical  action  and  the  closeness  to  real- 
ity all  stamp  this  little  photoplay  as  a 
gem  of  its  kind.  Mrs.  Drew  is  one  of 
the  two  or  three  directors  whose  faces 
are  towards  the  movie  Mecca  of  tomor- 
row. These  "After  Thirty"  stories, 
subtle  and  slender  tho  they  are,  are  ac- 
tually mile-'itones  of  progress.  A  word 
about  John  Cumberland.  No  player  on 
the  screen  is  doing  finer  or  more  care- 
fully conceived  playing. 

We  found  George  Fitzmaurice's  "The 
Right  to  Love,"  (Paramount),  to  be  rife 
with  the  splendid  direction  and  fine  pho- 
tography characteristic  of  this  admirable 
director.  But  Fitzmaurice  has  not  dupli- 
cated his  "On  With  the  Dance,"  because 
here  his  story  is  weak,  trite  and  hectic. 
Classic  readers  are  familiar  with  it  thru 
its  appearance  in  these  columns  under  its 
original  title  of  "The  Man  Who  Killed." 
Fitzmaurice,  however,  never  evolved 
more  singularly  beautiful  cinema  mo- 
ments than  in  this  fetid  Constantinople 
tale.  Mae  Murray  is  a  colorful  heroine, 
to  say  the  least. 

Robert  Vignola's  draggy  screen  adap- 
tation of  "The  World  and  His  Wife," 
(Paramount),  completely  disappointed 
us.  Announcements  presented  this  as 
adapted  from  the  play  by  Charles  Fred- 
eric Nirdlinger,  in  turn  based  upon  a 
"poem"  by  Jose  Echegaray.  Which,  of 
course,  is  a  fearful  injustice  to  a  vigor- 
ous Spanish  playwright.  Echegaray  is 
a  leader  of  the  younger  Spanish  school 
of  the  drama. 

"The  World  and  His  Wife"  is  a  study 
in  the  destructive  power  of  gossip.  ^ 
Ivchegaray  takes  three  people  of  Seville, 
a  husband,  a  wife  and  another  man,  a 
\oung  poet,  and  shows  how.  without  a 
single  real  atom  of  wrong,  they  are 
wrecked  upon  the  shoals  of  tittle-tat'.le. 
F.chegaray  told  his  tragic  tale  in  terms  f  - 
psychologv.  The  theme  has  reached  the 
screen  in  terms  of  obvious  physical  ac- 
tion. The  whole  opus  becomes  feverish 
melodrama.  Vignola  has  failed  in  points 
ipf  subtlety,  atmosphere  and  shading. 
The  striving  for  Spanish  atmosphere  is 
l)tainly  labored.  And  there  are  numer- 
ous slips,  such  as  the  moment  when  the 
unmarried  Theodora  comes  down  to  the 
gate  of  her  house  to  meet  her  affianced 
husband.  No  well-bred  Spanish  girl 
would  do  this. 

(One  himdred) 


CLASSIC 


ot^«U«.  »^>o 


No  member  of  the  cast  seems  wholly 
in  his  or  her  role,  but  Montagu  Love 
easily  contributes  the  most  vigorous  act- 
ing as  the  husband  whose  life  is  sacri- 
ficed to  gossip.  Alma  Rubens  is  the  wife 
and  Gaston  (jlass  the  young  poet. 

We  cant  imagine  why  anyone  filmed 
the  old  Rex  Beach-Paul  ,\rmstrong 
farce,  "Going  Some,"  (Goldwyn),  unless 
it  is  part  of  a  .systematic  effort  to  do 
every  play  and  book  ever  produced. 
Elaborate  changes  ha\e  been  made  to 
brace  up  the  thesis,  "("ioing  Some"  is 
just  a  skit  built  about  a  young  college 
boy,  a  cheer  leader,  who  masquerades  as 
a  crack  runner  in  order  to  impress  his 
swcetlieart  and  who  is  thereupon  forced 
to  run  a  race  as  the  candidate  of  a  lot  of 
bloodthirsty  cowboys.  Of  course,  he 
wins.  A\'e've  forgotten  how  just  now. 
but  that  is  of  no  consequence.  Cullen 
Landis  is  the  rah-rah  liar,  but.  to  our 
way  of  thinking,  Willard  Lewis  runs 
away  with  the  film  as  a  slang>'  trainer. 

Bessie  Barriscale's  "Life's  Twist," 
(Robertson-Cole),  failed  to  even  begin 
to  get  our  interest.  Miss  Barriscale  plays 
two  roles:  a  society  girl  and  a  factory 
worker  who  look  exactly  alike.  When 
the  rich  girl  and  her  husband  become 
estranged,  the  double  brings  them  to- 
gether again.     Turgid. 

Strangely  enough,  "Yes  or  No,"  (First 
National),  turned  out  to  be  Norma  Tal- 
madge's  best  vehicle  in  some  time.  Based 
upon  a  disastrous  and  crudely  melo- 
dramatic Broadway  stage  failure  by  Ar- 
thur Goodrich,  it  transforms  into  an  ef- 
fectively theatric  celluloid  offering.  Not 
life,  obviously,  but  offering  contrasting 
roles.  At  once  Miss  Talmadge  plays  a 
young  wife  in  the  tenements  and,  plus  a 
blonde  wig,  a  luxury-loving  matron  of 
Central  Park  West.  A  scoundrel  ap- 
pears on  the  horizon  in  each  instance. 
To  their  pleas,  the  poor  wife  says  "No," 
but  the  other  responds  with  "Yes."  The 
motion  picture  shows  how  prosperity 
comes  to  the  loyal  lady  of  the  negative, 
while  suicide  follows  the  butterfly's 
"Yes."  Hectic  stuff,  but  vivified  by  Miss 
Talmadge's  playing  and  by  R.  William 
Neill's  rather  above-the-average  direc- 
tion. Neill  has  tried  to  keep  away  from 
a- conventional  handling  of  his  scenes  and 
has  inserted  little  human  touches  here 
and  there.  We  rather  liked  Rockcliffe 
Fellows'  playing  of  the  workingman 
husband. 

Constance  Talmadge  is  rather  amusing 
in  John  Emerson  and  .'\nita  Loos'  "The 
Perfect  Woman,"  (First  National). 
Constance  plays  a  cutie  with  a  conquest 
system  all  her  own.  Her  first  collision 
with  disaster  comes  when  the  young 
business  man  she  fancies  from  afar  turns 
her  down  when  she  applies  for  a  job,  be- 
cause, by  every  point  of  his  efficiency 
system,  she  falls  short,  .'^o  she  goes 
liome,  rebuilds  her  face,  minus  powder 
and  other  aids,  returns  plus  horn-rimmed 
spectacles  and — wins  the  position.  The 
employer  is  a  man  after  Attorney-Gen- 
eral Palmer's  own  heart,  for  he  is  en-

youne  girl  your  wife  when  you  are  UNFIT  to  assume  the  duties  and  responsibilities  of  a  hushand  and 
a  father.  Her  whole  future  life,  her  body  and  soul,  will  be  in  YOl'R  keeping;  no  one  will  be  able 
to  help  her  if  YOU  prove  faithless  to  her  trust  in  you.  Don't  f-itt  the  matter  aside,  you  can't  get 
away  from  it;  ynu  cant  make  any  girl  happy,  if  you  are  weak,  imputent,  sickly;  grouchy  with  dyspepsia 
or  biliousness,  poisoned  by  constipation,  or  suffering  from  any  other  devitalizing  ailment.  Stop  and

who  can  make  his  way  in  the  world  and  give  her 
the  comforts  she  has  a  right  to  expect  from  her

lished, 1  liavent  missed  a  number.  1  have  de- 
cided to  take  the  bull  by  the  horns  and  sell 
the  cow,  as  it  were,  and  make  myself  a 
source  of  amusement  to  your  staff."  Welcome, 
and  1  am  glad  lo  know  yon.  You  can  address 
all  of  those  players  at  Los  .Angeles,  Cat.,  and  I 
am  sure  it  will  reach  them.  Owen  Moore  is  in 
New  Yurie  playing  for  Selznick.

nor  thiu  men  solemn.  No,  I'm  not  fat,  been

yon  can  reacli  her  at  Universal  Company,  Uni-

J.  K.  \V.,  KoKOMO. — Yes,  there  is  a  limit  to 
tverything — even  my  patience.  Go  ahead,  tho. 
Monroe  Salisbury  was  born  in  New  York.  He 
studied  art  and  music  and  in  1898  went  on  the 
stage.  Played  with  Richard  Mansfield,  Mrs. 
Fiske,  John  llrew,  Nance  O'Neil,  and  later  in 
stock.  Mahlon  Hamilton  is  playing  opposite 
Blanche  Sweet. 

Ruth  A,  M.— Sorry.  Yes,  FranK  jveenan  is 
married.  The  highest  mountain  in  the  world  is 
Mount  Everest,  in  the  Himalayas,  with  an  ele- 
vation of  29,IK)2  feet.  Just  met  a  friend  who 
saw  the  sun  rise  at  Mount  Everest.  Yes,  Rob- 
ert W  arwick  in  "The  City  of  Masks." 

T;\LM.\DCE  Fan.— Well,  it  is  pleasant  to  hear 
that  many  appreciate  me,  but  it  is  sad  to  think 
that  all  do  not.  Accent  on  the  "zim"  always. 
Geraldine  Farrar  was  born  in  Melrose,  Mass. 
Irrksistible. — Dear  me!  I'm  in  the  best  of 
heallli,  thank  you.  I  rather  like  your  descrip- 
tion of  love  and  malaria.  Von  say  love  be- 
gins with  a  fever  and  ends  with  a  chill,  and 
malaria  begins  with  a  chill  and  ends  with  a 
fever.  1  think  I  get  you.  Referred  to  Dar- 
win's. 

C  M.  E. — Nay,  nay,  1  never  get  angry  when 
my  correspondents  make  fun  of  my  bald  head 
aiid  long  beard.  I  have  had  them  too  long. 
(But  neither  is  too  long.)  Yes,  I  rather  liked 
Mary  Pickford  in  "Suds."  It  certainly  was  a 
touciiing  scene  when  Mary  sa\es  the  horse 
from  going  to  glue,  and  when  she  takes  him 
up  to  her  boudoir. 

Jessie  A. — Enjoyed  your  very  interesting 
letter  about  Hawaii.  Y"u  must  write  me 
again. 

Mrs.  Sippy. — Cannot  tell  you  where  Char- 
lotte Claire  Pierce  can  be  reached. 

Ph.sntom,  Peking. — Guess  you  received  my 
letter  b}'  now.  Why,  Kenneth  Harlan  was  born 
in  New  York  City  in  1895.  Yes,  he  has  played 
with  Gertrude  Hoft'mau.  Has  dark  complex- 
ion, dark  hair  and  black  eyes.  Sessue  Haya- 
kawa  is  playing  in  "Li  Ting  Ling."  Jack  Mul- 
liall  is  playing  opposite  Bebe  Daniels. 

Jack  Mereiuth. — You  are  too  intemperate 
with  your  praise.  Admire,  but  dont  adore. 
DorisLee  in  "Hay  Foot,  Straw  I'oot."  Larry 
Semou  was  in  to  see  us  the  other  day.  He  is  as 
fine  and  as  funny  as  they  make  them.  He 
does  some  mighty  clever  stunts  in  "Solid  Con- 
crete." 

G.  P.  M. — You  say  you  are  five  feet  six,  and 
want  lo  l<now  if  Mildred  Davis  is  taller. 
You're  welcome,  kee))  the  change. 

Miss  M.  T.  Heaii. — Well,  just  because  your 
mama  has  given  her  consent  yon  think  tliat 
nothing  stands  in  the  way  of  your  becoming  a 
photoplay  star.  There  may  be  other  obstacles, 
alas!  Oh,  pshaw  I  The  Shah  of  Persia  pos- 
sesses an  armchair  made  of  solid  gold,  inlaid 
with  precious  stones.  If  I  had  it  I'd  melt  it 
up  and  buy  me  a  houseboat  and  a  buttermilk 
cow-.  Drop  in  and  see  me  when  \on  come  to 
New  York.  If  yon  have  an  aeroplane,  I  might 
say,  drop  down  to  sec  me.

We're  always  on  the  look- 
out for  something  new.  We 
know  our  reader.s  appreciate 
anything  that's  a  bit  different. 
We  have  to  offer  in  the  way  of 
novelty — a  one-act  l)lay  cover- 
ing an  interview  recently  had 
with  ]Mary  Pickford  and 
Doug  Fairbanks  on  their 
return  from  Europe.  Adele 
Whitely  Fletcher  and  Gladys 
Hall  are  the  collaborators  of 
this  play. 

C.  Blythe  Sherwood,  who 
has  gone  to  the  coast,  sends 
us  an  interesting  story  on 
Blanche  Sweet. 

Douglas  MacLean,  now  a 
star  with  Thomas  Ince,  has 
been  captured  for  a  heart-to- 
heart  talk  by  Hazel  Simpson 
Naylor.  There  are  new  por- 
traits of  Douglas  which  will 
delight  all  of  his  feminine 
admirers. 

]\Iaude  Cheatham  cornered 
Ann  Forrest  and  made  her 
tell  of  her  jilans  with  Cecil  de 
]\lille.  Ann,  you  will  remem- 
ber, has  just  been  signed  by 
De  Mille  as  his  new  leading 
woman. 

Betsy  Bruce  interviewed 
Bryant  Washburn  just  before 
he  sailed  for  Europe.  She  also 
contributes  an  interesting  chat 
with  the  ever-increasing-in- 
popularity  Constance  Binney.

\\  rite  me  on  Crane's  stalionery.  You  say  you 
•ire  always  with  me.  For  this  we  have  friends! 
I'm   with  you.  Olga,  every  time. 

CiTif. — So  you  dont  believe  I  am  79,  and 
.viiu  think  I  earn  more  than  I  .say.  No,  child, 
I  always  speak  truth  when  hard  pressed. 
Charles  Ray  in  "Old-Fashioned  Young  Man." 
Priscilla  Dean  in  "Outside  the  I.aw."  No,  I 
never  read  the  Hearsed  Publications.  Nor  the 
"l.adies  Hum  Journal"-  \  prefer  "Town 
Tropics."  and  the  "New  York  Whirled."  My 
favorite  author  is  Mrs.  Humpty  Dumpty 
Ward. 

.\Iiss  LuTZ. — Joe  Emory  is  not  married. 
F.lsie  Ferguson  is  to  play  in  "Sacred  and 
Pmfane  Love"  for  the  screen.  'Violet  Hem- 
ing  in  "The  Princess  of  New  York."  We 
have  some  queens  here  too.  Haven't  the  ad- 
dress of  the  Fairbanks  twins. 

SiLVKR  Spurs. — You  want  Earle  Fox  to 
come  back.  If  it  does  you  any  good  to  un- 
burden your  troubles  to  me.  go  as  far  as  you 
like,  and  if  I  can  say  a  helping  word  I  am 
yours  to  command.  Douglas  M,acLean  in 
"Lucid  Intervals"  and  "Yancona  Yollies." 

B.wDic. — You  say  yon  are  19  and  you  would 
love  to  be  Tom  Moore's  mother.  I  dont  get 
you.  What  do  you  think  I  am  running,  a 
bazaar—send  you  a  bit  of  my  beard  for  a 
.souvenir?  Nay,  I  cant  spare  a  hair.  What's 
in  a  name?  Rye,  N.  Y. ;  Bourbon.  111.;  Green

Tank,  Pa. ;  Booze,  Teim. ;  Drinker,  Pa. ;  Vichy,

Pi-.\N-UTS.— So  you  want  to  see  Maude 
-\dams  in  "Peter  Pan"  on  the  screen.  Yes,  it 
would  be  a  treat.  You  also  say,  "Is  it  true 
tliat  Mary  Pickford  is  going  to  retire?  It 
makes  me  blue  just  to  think  of  it.  I  dont  care 
to  live  if  I  cant  see  sweet  little  Mary  any 
more."  Well,  you  will  live  a  little  longer, 
because  Mary  is  still  with  us.  Do  write  me 
again. 

-\nci:i.es,  Phii.ippi.ni;.— I  have  sent  your  let- 
ter on  to  Kenneth  Harlan.  Ashton  Dcarholt 
111  "The  Girl  in  the  Dark."  Among  the  Hindus 
enormous  sums  are  spent  on  cremation  of  the 
richer  classes  in  sandalwood.  Of  course,  I 
want  to  hear  from  \ou  again. 

()L.v.\iri.\N.— Vours  was  indeed  brilliant.  I 
am  afraid  \ou  are  too  tender  to  succeed  on  the 
rough  journey  of  life.  When  yon  have  a  pain 
you  insist  that  the  whole  world  know  about  it, 
whereas  a  window  may  have  many  panes  all  at 
once,  without  making  anv  fuss  about  it.  Be 
like  the   window.     Ta,   ta. 

BkrmceH.— Thanks  for  the  fee.  Raymond 
McKee  is  28  years  old.  Nazimova— I  don't  know 
whether  she  smokes  or  not.  and  Bryant  Wash- 
burn is  abroad.  He  is  married  and  has  a 
happy  family.  Yes.  today  would  be  sweet  if 
we  could  kill  jesterday,  because  happiness  is 
but  unrcpented  pleasure. 

Kitty  K.«.t.—  \'nu  say  you  always  read  our 
"'•■'»-''''2".'cs.  from  the  girl  on  the  coyer  to  the 
Palmohve  ad.  Dear  me,  no.  I  cannot  give  you 
a  hst  of  the  actors  who  are  paying  alimony. 
It  would  take  a  larger  book  than  this.  Ali- 
mony must  be  considered  the  biggest  item  in 
the  high  cost  of  living.  Thomas  Meighan  in 
"His  Friend  and  His  Wife."  and  Sydney  Chap- 
lin is  to  play  111  "One  Hundred  Million."  He's 
just  playing  in  that,  not  getting  it.

Emma  C.  H.— You  say  all  the  fortune-tell-

Eugenia  Bibby.— I  read  with  a  great  deal 
of  interest  your  charming  letter.  I  do  hope 
you  succeed  as  a   story  writer.     Yes,  women 

can  vote  for  the  Presidential  electors  and  in  a 
large  number  of  other  states.    Lincoln  was  a 

Republican. 

S.  C.  C— And  yours  was  a  very  interesting 
letter.  John  Barrymore  is  to  play  in  "Amos 
Judd"  from  the  novel  by  John  Ames  Mitchell 
Fatty  Arbuckle  in  'The  Life  of  the  Party," 
"■The  Traveling  Salesman"  and  "Brewster's 
Millions."     Wnis  rerroiis. 

A.  D.  GiSHADN.— Sorry,  but  I  can  give  you 
no  information  about  Clarine  Seymour.  'The 
author  of  "Pollyanna"  was  Eleanor  Hodg- 
man  Porter,  a  direct  descendant  of  Governor 
William  Bradford  of  the  Mayflower.  Yes, 
an  affinity  is  a  high-priced  luxury  since  the 
cost  is  alimony. 

F.  O.  B.— Charge  it,  please!  Glad  to  meet 
you.  I  really  dont  know  of  any  star  who 
would  carry  on  a  correspondence  with  you. 
They  are  all  very  busy.  Yes,  that's  true  about 
Pearl.  You  should  have  enclosed  a  stamped, 
addressed  envelope.  Write  me  again  some 
time.

Dadedeer's  Girl.— Yes,  I  certainly  missed 
you.  So  you  are  seeing  our  Great  Romantic 
West.    Write  me  again.

Consequently,  there  is  no  piece  of  auto- 
mobile machinery  he  cannot  analyze,  or 
any  species  of  car  he  cannot  drive.  He 
took  up  bo.xing  that  way,  also — from  the 
beginning ;  and  because  he  didn't  think  he 
would  want  to  finish  college,  he  didn't 
start. 

"I  gave  up  the  idea  of  college  because 
these  next  four  years  are  what  count.  At 
twenty-two  I  want  to  be  definitely  started 
— ahead — on  my  life's  work,  whatever  it 
may  develop  to  be."

This  Harold  Lloyd  goes  speeding

(Pathe),  is  made  up  of  the  oldest  farce 
ingredients;  i.e.,  humor  based  upon  in- 
toxication and  sleep-walking,  but  Lloyd 
mvests  the  whole  fabric  with  such  adroit 
by-play  and  such  lively  touches  of  fun 
that  It  IS  easily  his  best  celluloid  farce  to

The  New  Magic  of  Violet  Rays 

Make  It  Your  Beauty  Specialist 


You  can  now  enjoy  the  womlcrful, 
energizing  health-giving  power 
of  \"iolet  Rays  in  your  own 
home!  This  famous  treatment,  former- 
1\  obt:iinabIe  from  eminent  physicians 
■M<\  beauty  specialists  at  high  fees,  is 
now  brought  to  you  for  your  personal 
use,  and  at  a  trifling  cost.  Violet  Rays 
are  so  simple  that  a  child  can  use  them. 
\'iolet  Rays  rid  you  of  headaches, 
catarrh,  constipation,  lumbago,  insom- 
nia, nervousness,  neuritis.  You  can 
relieve  your  pain  from  rheumatism, 
neuralgia,  indigestion — give  yourself 
beauty  treatments  —  remove  eczema, 
])imples,  blackheads,  obesity.  You  can 
make  your  body  alive  with  vitality, 
your  skin  smooth  and  fine  of  texture, 
free  from  blemishes  and  sallowness. 
.Soothe  your  nerves,  build  up  your 
strength. 

NOT  A  VIBRATOR 

THIS  instrument  is  not  a  Vibrator. 
It  does  not  contract  the  muscles 
or  shock  the  nerves.  Its  magic 
rays  pass  through  every  cell  and  tissue, 
creating  "cellular  massage" — the  most 
beneficial  electrical  treatment  known. 
It  leaves  no  soreness  after  use,  only  a 
delightful  sensation  of  agreeable  relief. 
Its  great  value  is  based  on  proven 
scientific  facts  now  well  established  by 
experience.  Violet  Rays  arc  used  in 
nearly  every  modern  sanitarium,  hos- 
jiital  and  health  resort.  Physicians, 
osteopaths  and  chiropractors  every- 
where use  .and  endorse  them.  Like 
lliousands  of  others,  you  will  be 
.amazed  at  the  quick,  gratifying  re- 
sults from  \'iolet  Ray  treatments. 
(One  hundred  and  five) 


BEAUTY   IS   YOURS 

.Multii>ly  your  bodily  health — vitalize 
\  our  nerves — double  or  treble  your 
energy  and  vitality.  Sleep  better,  in- 
crease your  strength,  improve  your 
appetite  and  digestion.  Soothe  your 
nerves,  reduce  or  increase  your  flesh, 
tone  and  strengthen  the  entire  system, 
beautify  your  complexion.  All  with 
the  Vi-Rex. 

Tri.xie  Friganza,  the  famous  actress, 
says,  "Cheerfully  will  I  add  my  praise 
for  Vi-Rex.  It's  the  best  'pain  chaser' 
and  'soother'  I've  ever  had  the  good 
fortune  to  find.  It's  wonderful.  It 
cured  mj'  brother  of  neuritis.  As  for 
myself,  I  use  it  for  facial  treatments 
and  general  massage.  I  cannot  say  too 
much  for  it."  Frank  Borzone,  of 
Seattle,  Washington,  says:  "I  pur- 
chased the  Vi-Rex  for  my  wife  who 
was  suffering  from  an  acute  attack  of 
sciatica.  From  the  very  first  treatment 
it  induced  peaceful  rest  and  she  is  en- 
tirely well  now."  Scores  of  letters  like 
these  are  received  each  day. 

Eminent  phj'sicians  from  all  over 
the  countrj'  apply  Violet  Rays  with 
wonderful  results.  Dr.  Bert  H.  Rice, 
of  Vinton,  Iowa,  says:  "I  have  good 
results  with  the  Vi-Rex.  Almost  in- 
stant relief  in  Facial  Neuralgia."  D:", 
Daniels,  Lisbon,  North  Dakota,  says : 
"Have  used  it  in  such  cases  as  Goitre, 
Bronchitis,  Pleuris)',  Neuritis,  Neu- 
ralgia and  Lumbago,  and  find  it  very 
beneficial.  In  fact,  I  would  not  be 
without  it  in  my  office."  Dr.  G.  B. 
Duncan,  Kewanee,  111.,  says,  "The  Vi- 
Rex  is  the  finest  thing  I  ever  used  to 
relieve  congestion  in  any  part  of  the 
body;  and  to  relieve  pain.  Treatments 
are  so  pleasant  that  all  of  my  patients 
like  it."

NOVEMBER 

Shadowland 


LIK-E  the  Horn  of  Plenty, 
SiiAnowr.ANn  for  November 
■*  offers  a  magazine  replete  with 
the  iinest  in  literary  contributions; 
the  most  beautiful  anil  artistic;  the 
most  interesting  in  the  current  af- 
fairs of  our  daily  existence. 

\\'lK-n  you  read  the  article  by 
Walter  Prichard  Eaton,  you  will 
gam  a  new  insight  into  the  com- 
plicated character  of  the  American 
playwright. 

Everyone  know-s  Heywood 
Broun,  the  sometimes  sarcastic,  but 
nearly  always  truthful  dramatic 
critic  of  the  New  York  Tribune. 
Mr.  Broun,  offers  a  thoroly  enjoy- 
able book  review,  which  will  delight 
our  most  fastidious  readers. 

Oliver  M.  Sayler  is  a  well- 
known  authority  on  the  dramatic 
life  of  foreign  countries.  He  has  a 
story  on  the  Japanese  drama,  which 
is  one  of  the  most  absorbing  articles 
in  the  magazine. 

The  photoplay  of  today  and 
the  photoplay  of  tomorrow  are 
two  entirely  different  things,  says 
Frederick  James  Smith.  We 
learn  a  good  deal  about  it  in  an  un- 
usually interesting  article. 

Our  own  Wynn  Holcomb  has 
sent  us  a  new  lay-out  of  Parisian 
cartoons  and  pertinent  paragraphs 
on  things  pertaining  to  Paris  which 
will  probably  startle  you.

THE  GIRL  ON   THE  COVER 
(Painted  by  Leo   Siclke.  Jr..  from   a  photograph  by 
Alfred  Cheney  Joliiiston.) 
Louise  Glaum  stands  foremost  at  present  in  tlie  vacillating  line 
of  film  lorelci.     Miss  Glaum  made  her  debut  on  the  stage  as  a 
member  of  a  stock  company  in  Chicago,  and  has  been  numbered 
anions  the  leading  women  of  the  screen  for  the  past  four  years. 
When   Louise  is  not  breaking  up  cinema  homes,  and    depictmg  the  more  tragic 
side  of  life  on  the  screen,  she  peacefully  indulges  in  her  real  passion;  i.  e.,  the  rais- 
ing of  chickens,  and  her  chicken  farm  out  at  the  coast  is  one  of  the  most  widely 
discussed  places  in  California.

plays  appear  in  their  vicinity.) 


Hijon. — "The  Ciiarin  School.''  \i\  appealing 
lit;ht  conicdy  with  music,  based  upon  .Mice 
I'ucr  Miller's  story  of  the  handsome  young 
hachelor  who  inherits  a  young  ladies'  finishing 
school.  Minnie  Diiprce  runs  away  with  the 
production  as  an  old  maid  teacher,  wliile  James 
(ileason,  Sam  Hardy  and  Marie  Carroll  are 
ctt'ective. 

Booth.  —  "Happy-Go-Lucky."  Ran  a  long 
time  in  London  as  "Tilly  of  Bloomsbury."  A 
t\pical  llritish  cimiedy  by  Ian  May.  O.  P. 
Meg^ie  riuis  away  witii  the  comedy  as  the 
balitt's  bibulous  aid. 

Hroadhiirst. — "Come  Seven."  Amusing 
adaptation  of  the  Octavus  Roy  Cohen  negro 
stories  which  have  been  appearing  in  The 
.Saturday  Bveiiiitg  Post.  All  the  characters 
are  negroes,  played  by  white  players.  Funny, 
liut  of  little  depth.  Arthur  .Vylsworth  is  ex- 
cellent as  a  shiftless  darky.  Gail  Kane  and 
Earle   Fo.xe   play   the  colored   lovers. 

Casino. — "Honeydew."  Pleasant  musical  en- 
tertainment with  charming  score  by  Efrem 
Zimbalist.  the  violinist.  Mile.  Marguerite  and 
Frank  Gill  score  with   their  dancing. 

Century  Promenade. — Xew  York's  newest 
dinner  and  inidnight  entertainment.  "The  Cen- 
tury Review"  and  "The  Midnight  Rounders." 
Colorful  girl  shows  for  the  tired  business  man. 
.\  delightful  place  to  eat. 

Eltinije. — "Ladies'  Night."  About  the  most 
daring  coined)'  yet  attempted  on  Broadway. 
This  passes  from  the  boudoir  zone  to  the 
Turkish  bath  on  ladies'  night.  Xot  only  skates 
on  thin  ice.  but  smashes  thru  now  and  then. 
John  Cumberland  is  admirable. 

Empire. — "Call  the  Doctor."  Jean  Archi- 
bald's slender  little  comedy  built  around  a 
charming  feminine  doctor  of  domestic  diffi- 
culties. The  production  shows  David  Belasco's 
smooth  stage  direction  and  is  very  well  acted, 
particularly  by  Janet  Beecher  as  the  physician 
in  cpiestion. 

Porty-Fourth  Street.— T).  W.  Griffith's  mas- 
ter-production of  the  rural  melodrama,  "Way 
Down  East."  Splendid  in  many  ways  with 
tnany  moving  moments  and  the  biggest — and 
most  thrilling — climax  since  the  ride  of  the 
clansmen  in  "The  Birth  of  a  Nation." 

Pulton. — "Scrambled  Wives."  Another  typ- 
ical farce  built  on  a  series  of  misunderstand- 
ings. A  divorced  couple  try  to  hide  their  first 
wedding  from  their  new  marriage  alliances. 
Rather  bright  and  amusing.  Roland  Young 
is  excellent. 

G'/nfrc— George  White's  "Scandals  of  1920." 
Lively  and  well-thought-out  musical  revue 
with  lavish  and  swiftly  changing  scenes,  plus 
many  pretty  girls.  Paint  succeeds  stockings 
and  tights  in  several  numbers.  .Ann  Penning- 
ton is  the  shining  light  of  this  revue. 

Greemvich  I'illaije  Theater. — "Greenwich 
Village  F'ollies  of  1920."  Gorgeous  and  beauti- 
ful, as  is  typical  of  John  Murray  Anderson 
productions.  Here  is  a  musical  entertainment 
with  imagination  and  charm.  James  Reynolds 
has  created  some  remarkable  scenes  and  cos- 
tumes and  the  whole  ensemble  is  vivid  and 
colorful. 

Henry  Miller's  Theater. — "The  Famous  Mrs. 
F'air."  Able  drama  dealing  with  the  feminine 
l)roblem  of  a  career  or  a  home.  Skillfully 
written  by  James  F'orbes,  with  unusual  play- 
ing by  I'llaucbe  Bates,  Henry  Miller  and  Mar- 
g;do  (iilmorc. 

Hudson. — "Crooked  Gamblers."  .\  lively 
and  thrilling  comedy-melo  of  the  financial  dis- 
trict, in  which  a  guileless  young  inventor  of 
auto  tires  defeats  the  Wolf  of  Wall  Street. 
Taylor  Holmes  starred. 

Little. — "F'oot-Loose,"  with  Emily  Stevens. 
Zoe  Akins'  well-done  modernization  of  the 
old   melodrama.  "Forget-Me-Xot." 

A' cm  .■Imstcrdam  A'ow/.— Ziegfeld  9  o'clock 
and  midnight  revues.  Colorful  entcrtaiimienis 
unlike  anything  to  be   found  anywhere  else. 

Plymouth. — "Little  Old  New  York."  Rida 
Johnson  Young's  delightful  but  fragile  little 
romance  of  Xew  York  in  1810,  with  John 
Jacob  .\stor.  Cornelius  Vanderbilt.  Peter  Del- 
monico    and    Washington    Irving    among    its 


characters.  Genevieve  Tobin  runs  away  with 
the  piece — and  scores  one  of  the  biggest  per- 
sonal successes  of  many  seasons.  Here  is  a 
Maude  .-\dams  in  the  making. 

Republic. — "The  Lady  of  the  Lamp."  A 
fanciful  and  highly  colored  fantasy  by  Earl 
Carroll.  Built  about  ait  opium  dream  which 
reveals  a  tragic  romance  of  old  China.  .\  cer- 
tain charm  is  here.  George  Gaul  is  admirable 
and  Henry  Herbert  gives  a  remarkable  por- 
trayal of  a  sinister  Manchu  chieftain  of  cen- 
turies ago. 

Selwyn. — "Tickle  Me."  An  -Arthur  Ham- 
merstein  early  autumn  show  with  the  amusing 
Frank  Tinney  starred.  Considerable  fun,  some 
tuneful  music  and  a  very  personable  chorus. 
Likewise  gorgeous  costuming. 

Winter  Garden. — "Cinderella  on  Broadway." 
Typical  summer-girl  entertainment  designed 
for  the  tired  business  man.  The  extravaganza 
this  year  is  based  upon  the  fairy  adventures 
of  Cinderella.  Plenty  of  girls,  passable  music, 
attractive  costumes  and  a  little  humor. 


OX   TOUR 


".■Ibraham  Lincoln."  Y'ou  should  see  this  if 
you  see  nothing  else  from  the  New  York  stage. 
John  Drinkwater's  play  is  a  noteworthy  liter- 
ary and  dramatic  achievement,  for  he  makes 
the  Great  .American  live  again.  ".Abraham 
Lincoln"'  cannot  fail  to  make  you  a  better 
-American.  Moreover,  it  is  absorbing  as  a  play. 
Frank  McGlynn  is  a  brilliant  Lincoln. 

William  Rock's  "Silks  and  Satins."  Another 
musical  re\ue.  but  we  doubt  if  it  will  even 
appeal  to  the  tired  business  man.  Ernestine 
Myers,  the  dancer,  stands  out. 

"Honey  Girl."  Lively  musical  comedy  built 
about  the  brisk  race-track  comedy,  "Checkers." 
This  has  speed  and  humor — as  well  as  an  ex- 
cellent cast. 

"Lassie."  A  charming  and  pleasantly  tune- 
ful little  musical  cotnedy  of  Scotland  and  Lou- 
don in  the  picturesque  sixties-  Based  upon 
Catherine  Chisholm  Cushing's  "Kitty  Mac- 
Kay."  Tessa  I-Costa  sings  pleasantly  and  Mollie 
Pearson  and  Roland  Bottomley  are  prominent. 

"iWot  So  Long  Ago."  -A  fragile  and  charm- 
ing little  comedy  by  a  newcomer,  -Arthur  Rich- 
man,  telling  a  story  of  picturesque  New  York 
in  the  early  seventies.  Genuinely  delightful. 
Finely  played  by  Eva  Le  Gallienne,  Sidney 
Blackmer  and  an  excellent  cast. 

"Jane  Clcgg."  St.  John  Ervine's  powerful 
drama,  presented  by  the  Theater  Guild,  has 
been  running  in  New  Y'ork  all  season.  -A  drab 
but  brilliant  tale  of  middle-class  English  life. 

"The  Hottentot,"  with  Willie  Collier.  Typ- 
ical one-man  farce  with  the  inimitable  farceur. 
Collier,  at  his  best.    Full  of  laughs. 

"Plorodora."  The  much-heralded  revival 
of  the  widely  popular  musical  show  of  some 
twenty  years  ago.  Done  with  charm,  distinc- 
tion and  humor.  Eleanor  Painter's  singing 
stands  out  vividly  and  George  Hassell's  humor 
is  highly  diverting.  Then,  of  course,  there  is 
the  famous  "sextette."  Here  is  a  revival  that 
really  revives. 

"The  Storm."  A  well-told  melodrama  of 
the  lonely  Northwest  with  a  remarkable  stage 
effect  of  a  forest  fire. 

"Scandal."  Cosmo  Hamilton's  daring  drama 
wdiich  Constance  Talmadge  played  on  the 
screen.  June  Walker  and  Charles  Cherry  have 
tlie  leading  roles.

"OH.MOTHEK 

'  11  story s  accepted!" 


OUT  of  "the  rainbow  gleams  of  her  youthful 
dreams"  has  come  The  Great  Reward !  The 
happy  sequel  to  alt  her  hurninR  hopes — her  eager 
aspirations!  The  magazine  editor  has  accepted  her 
story.     His  letter  brings  the  happy  news. 

She  moves  as  one  in  a  daze  "Can  it  really  be 
true?"  she  asks  herself  over  and  over.  And  all  the 
while  she  rIows  with  the  pride  of  authorship,  her 
asoiring  spirit  transformed  in  the  bewilderment  of 
this   new    triumph.      'Tis    life's   deepest    moment   for   her. 

She  has  crossed  the  Golden  Rubicon !  Enthralled, 
she  stands  upon  the  thresliold  of  a  New  Life!  She  is 
at  last— "AN  AUTHORESS!"  The  story  she  has 
written,  filled  with  fresh,  bright  realism,  stirring  inci- 
dent and  sparkling  dialogue — written  out  of  her  very 
heart — painted  in  glowing  words  upon  the  Screen  of 
Romance,    will    be    read    by    thousands,    thousands! 

But  yesterday,  in  her  girlish  fancy,  she  deeply  en- 
vied those  who  live  and  move  in  that  fascinating 
sphere,  the  Realm  of  Authorship.  But  yesterday  her 
htpes  mingled  with  her  fears,  her  doubts  of  herself, 
her  simple  lack  of  faith  in  her  ability  "TO  WRITE." 
nut  yesterday  she  deemed  well-nigh  impossible  the 
triumph   that   has  come  to   her  today! 

But  yesterday  her  life  was  a  dull,  drear  grind  in  a 
department  store.  In  her  little  niche  behind  the 
notion  counter  her  girl's  soul  was  slowly  shriveling. 
The  drab,  grey  life  was  deadening  every  spark  of  hope 
within  her.  Thinking  of  her  youth  and  yearnings, 
she  would  oft'  hopefully  repeat  to  herself  those  lines 
from  some  beautiful  hook,  "It  is  the  Spring!  It  is 
the  Spring!  And  Life  is  so  FULL  of  Flowers!  Ah, 
surely  some  of  them  are  MINE!"  But  there  was  the 
monotony,  the  dull  servitude,  from  8  to  6— it  never 
varied^ — it  went  on  and  on  and  on — a  dumb  fate  that 
seemed  to  .stare  her  in  the  face  forever,  just  as  it 
might  be  pictured  in  a  story  by  O.   Henry. 

Not  that  all  girls  are  unhappy  who  work  in  stores, 
hut  she— she  dreamed  of  higher  things.  She  wanted 
more  out  of  life  than  the  grey,  humdrum  e.xistence. 
Why  should  Success  be  a  thing  OTHERS  could  attain 
and  not  she?  She  had  two  good  hands  and  a  brain 
— she  was  intelligent,  observing,  and  though  not  a 
genius,  surely,  she  told  herself,  she  could  learn  to  write 
stories  as  good  as  hundreds  she  had   seen. 

One  day  her  sweet-faced  mother  noticed  a  small 
advertisement  in  a  magazine.  It  said;  "Free  to  writers 
— this  wonderful  book.  Tells  How  to  Write  Plays 
and  Stories."  "Here,  Dorothy  dear,"  said  Mrs.  Dean, 
"here  is  something  about  writing  stories  and  plays. 
Here's  a  concern  offering  a  free  book  on  the  sub- 
ject. Why  not  get  it?  See  what  they  can  do  for 
you?  Vou  never  c.Tn  tell — maybe  you  really  can 
learn  how  to  wri*  the  way  you've  dreamed  so  long, 
and  just  think   how  wonderful   that   would  be!" 

The  Authors'  Press  has  this  young  woman's  letter 
on  file.  She  wrote  for  our  free  book — and  the  picture 
above  tells   the    happy    sequel. 

This  is  a  true  story,  as  startling  as  it  is  romantic, 
and  here  is  the  most  starllitig  thing  of  all — a  re- 
markable discofery  that  will  thrill  atKhitJoiis  niett 
and  7Votiic>t  of  all' titjes  throuahout  the  'world.'  The 
discovery  is  that:  MIL7J0NS  OF  PEOPLE  CAN 
WRITE  STORIES  AND  PHOTOPLAYS  AND 
DON'T  KNOW  IT! 

(Seven) 


For  years  the  mistaken  idea  prevailed  that  you  had  to 
have  a  special  knack  in  order  to  write.  People  said  it 
was  a  gift,  a  talent.  Some  imagined  you  had  to  be  an 
Emotional  Genius  with  long  hair  and  strange  ways. 
They  vowed  it  was  no  use  to  try  unless  you'd  been 
touched  by  the  Magic  Wand  of  the  Muse.  They  dis- 
couraged attempts  of  ambitious  people  to  express  them- 
selves. 

Yet  only  recently  a  great  English  literary  authority 
declared  that  "nearly  all  the  English -speaking  race 
■ziant  to  write!  It's  a  craving  for  self-expression,  char- 
acteristic of  the  present  century." 

So  a  new  light  has  dawned!  A  great  New  Truth 
that  will  gladden  the  hearts  of  "all  the  English-speak- 
ing race  who  want  to  write!"  Astounding  new  psycho- 
logical experiments  have  revealed  that  "the  average 
person"  may  learn  to  write!  Yes.  write  stories  an<I 
photoplays;  thrilling,  human,  life-like;  filled  with  heart- 
throbs,   pathos,    passion,   pain. 

Yott  many  learn  it  just  as  you  may  learn  anything  else 
under  the  sun!  There  are  certain  simple,  easy  prin- 
ciples to  guide  you.  There  are  new  methods  that 
jiroduce  astonishing  results  for  beginners,  A  remark- 
able New  System,  covering  every  phase  of  writing, 
has  been  perfected  by  a  great  literary  bureau  at  Au- 
burn, New  York,  now  busily  supplying  this  infor- 
mation broadcast.  .'\nd  this  New  Method  of  writing; 
stories  and  photoplays  is  everybody's  property.  Mot  for 
the  select  fciv.  Nol:  for  those  specially  gifted.  Not  for 
the  rich  or  fortunate,  but  for  men  and  women  of 
ordinary  education  and  no  writing  experience  whatever 
—thousands    who    don't    even     dream    they     can    write! 

This  institution  at  Auburn  is  the  vyorld's  school  for 
inexperienced  authors — a  literary  institute  for  all  hu- 
manity. And  everybody  is  taking  up  the  idea  of 
ivriting.  The  fascination  has  swept  the  country  by 
storm!  People  are  dumbfounded  at  the  ease  with  which 
they    learn   to  write! 

You  know  it  was  Shakespeare  who  said:  "All  the 
world's  a  stage  and  all  the  men  and  women  merely 
players."  Life's  stage  all  around  you  is  filled  with 
people  and  incidents  that  will  make  stories  without 
number.  From  the  great  Screen  of  Humanity  and 
its  constantly  changing  tide  of  Human  Emotions- 
Love.  Hatred.  Jealousy,  Happiness — you  can  create 
endless  interesting  plots  for  stories  and  photoplays. 
There  is  never  a  lack  — it  flows  on  in  an  Endless  Stream 
of  Circumstance  —  like  Tennyson's  brook  —  forever! 
Every  person  you  know  is  a  type,  a  character. 
"Every  house  has  a  story."  And  those  vvho  dwell  within 
have  impulses,  ideas,  hopes,  fears,  fancies  that  furnish 
material  for  vou.  The  daily  newspajiers  are  filled 
to  the  brim.  The  Footlights  of  Fate  reflect  s-^enes  and 
incidents    for  the    Pen   of    Realism. 

There  is  nothing  in  all  this  world  that  so  dominates 
the  heart  and  mind  as  the  fascination  of  WRITING. 
It  gives  you  a  new  power,  a  new  magic,  that  charms 
all  those  around  you.  It  lends  a  new  attraction  to 
your  entire  personality.  Authorship  carries  with  it 
new  honors,  admiration,  respect — in  addition  to  glorit)us 
material    rewards. 

THERE  IS  A  NEW  BOOK  AWAITING  YOU 
THAT  AMAZES  EVERY  READER— and  the  most 
amazing  thing  of  all  is— IT'S  FREE!  This  new  book

ing to  write;  illustrations  that  enthuse;  stories  of

To  what  type 

does  your  skin  belong? 


IS  your  skin  dry  or  oily— sensitive  or  resistant 
—fine  or  large-pored? 
Study  your  skin  and  find  out  to  just  what 
type  it  belongs— then  give  it  the  care  that  suits 
its  itidividual  needs. 

Remember— different  types  of  skin  need 
different  care.  If  your  skin  is  extremely  sensitive 
— then  it  needs  a  very  special  form  of  cleansing 
which,  instead  of  irritating  and  coarsening  its 
delicate  texture,  will  render  it  firmer  and  more 
tolerant.  If  it  is  pale  and  sallow— then  it  needs 
to  be  roused  and  stimulated. 

For  every   skin   condition    there    is   a   special 
treatment  which,  if  followed  regularly  and  faith- 
fully each  day,  will   help  you  to  overcome  the       States  and  Canada.     Get  a  cake  today— begin, 
faults  in  your  complexion  and  to  gain  the  smooth,       tonight,  the  treatment  your  skin  needs.     A  25-

"What  Time  Is  It?" 
Asked  Muriel 


WE  Iiave  accomplislifd  interviews  uniler  all 
sorts  of  trying  circumstances.  We  liave 
"helped"  stars  pick  ont  gowns.  We  have 
niotored  into  Westchester  with  'em.  We  have  dined, 
tea-d,  Ziegfeld  roofed,  suppered,  lunched  and — 
whisixT — even  hreakfastcd  with  them.  Many  times- 
they  have  been  in  a  luirry,  but,  to  the  l)cst  of  our 
present  disturbed  recollection,  nobody  was  ever  quite 
in  so  much  of  a  hurry  as  Muriel  Ostriche. 

The  task  of  interviewing  a  cute  ingenue — film 
ingenues  are  !)econiing  more  extinct  every  day — 
rather  intrigued  us  and  we  were  exactly  on  time  at 
Miss  Ostriclie's  uptown  hotel. 

Two  minutes  later — i:32  p.m.  to  be  exact — Miss 
Ostriche  appeared  in  the  hotel  reception-room.  She 
had  a  tiny  package  in  her  hand. 

"I'm  awfully  sorry."  she  began.  "You  see,  I'd 
been  jilanning  to  lake  a  4:10  train  to  the  beach  for 
the  week-end  and  1  thought  our  interview  was  to 
be  earlier  and — but  I'll  take  a  later  train." 

Of  course,  we  knew  that  she  really  di<ln't  want 
to  take  a  later  train.  .Mso.  we  could  not  conscien- 
tiously upset  the  schedule  of  an  ingenue. 

So  we  asked  a  i)orter  to  summon  a  taxi. 

"We'll  interview  you  en  route,"  we  confided. 

"That'll  be  wonderful,"  sighed  Miss  Ostriche, 
with  .sometliing  that  we  suspected  sounded  like  relief. 
"Better  start  now  before  the  taxi  comes.  Want 
a — er — pencil  ?" 

"We  never  use  'em,"  said  we,  trying  to  maintain 
our  editorial  poise  in  the  face  of  the  Ostriche  optics. 
"What  about  your  traveling  bag?"

"Dont  need  it,"  giggled  Miss  Ostriche.  "I  liave

(  )nr  poise  was  slipping.  Wnere  on  earth  was 
the  taxi? 

"tiuess,"  insisted  Miss  Ostriclie. 

We  mopped  onr  brow.  "It's  a  hot  day,"  we 
said,  deftly  changing  the  subject. 

"A  tiKithbrush  and  a  nightie,"  continued  Miss 
(  )striche  remorselessly.  "What  do  you  think  about 
that  '" 

But  tlie  taxi  arrived  before  we  were  forced  to 
commit  ourselves.

"W 


rOMAN    is   incomprehcnsihle."    said    Sijjnor 
N'alentiiio  one  day.     "N'o  man  can  fathom 
her.     In  fact,  the  man  who  hoasts  'I  know 
woman'  is  either  a  liar  or  an  idiot." 

"What    about    man— is    he    more    easily    under- 
stood?" 
"Yes — he  is  more  practical,  more  elemental.     Man  has  no 
caprice ;  no  whim.     He  is  whole— definite." 

Being  very  much  a  part  of  those  upon  wliom  he  had  ju.st 
passed  judgment,  \'alentino  placed  himself  under  his  own 
stamp.  "Definite,"  he  said  man  was.  Yes— so,  he  hnnself 
is — in  his  extremes. 

Fo'V  just  as  it  is  simple  to  understand  woman  when  oni- 
realizes  she  is  a  contradiction,  and  one  makes  allowances  for 
her  pros  and  cons,  and  one  expects  them— so,  by  the  same 
code  of  perception,  is  the  nudy  of  Rudolph  X'alentmo  less 
enigmatic. 

Because  one  person  coula  discuss  Valentino  and  say,  "What 
a  care-free  lad  he  is!  Always  joking,  and  romping;  being 
serious  only  in  his  mania  to  dance  and  play.  Give  hmi  a 
horse,  a  stretch  of  land,  all  day  in  which  to  tear  over  the 
countryside,  and  he  is  content." 

.\nd  another  person  in  sjieaking  would  offer :   "That  is  what 
I   call  an  ambitious  young  man.     He  is  very   determined  to 
succeed,  ami  doesn't  lose  a  minute  towards 
it.     In  his  work  he  never  slacks.    He  gives 
his  best  in  enthusiasm  and  most  in  time. 


Opportunity  wont  be 
more  than  once  on  his 
It  is  also  legitimate 
sportsman!  He  does 
but  rides  his  animals 


Rudolph  Valentino  is  a 
youth  from  Italy  who 
came  to  these  shores  in 
pursuit  of  scientific 
agriculture.  Because  of 
his  unfamiliarity  with 
the  English  language, 
he  did  not  succeed  and 
drifted  into  dancing 
where  he  attracted  the 
attention  of  the  leading 
dancers  in  America. 
His  role  as  Julio  in 
the  film  version  of  the 
famous  Spanish  novel, 
"The  Four  Horsemen 
of  the  Apocalypse,"  is 
one  which  demands  the 
work  of  a  great  artist 


given  the  chance  to  knock 
door." 

when  one  comments  :    "A 
not  tear  over  the  country, 
judiciously.     Rather  than 
return  hot   and   dis- 
heveled, manifesting 
all  the  signs  of  hav- 
ing had  a  great  time, 
he   brings   his  horse 
home    warm,    but 
carefully  exercised." 
And  for  those  who 
know  him  best,  it  is 
not  wrong  when  the 
opinion  is  that"Rudie 
is   a   lonesome   soul. 
He    isn't    so    much 
melancholic   as   pen- 
sive.    He  has  many 
friends,    and    very 
few.     Books  are  his

coniiianioiis,  and  dreams,  and  memories.  A  night 
at  liome.  alone,  with  these,  he  considers  far  better 
spent  than  jocularly  abandoning  himself  to  Bacchns 
and  bacchanals." 

His  appearance,  too,  is  untraditional.  Either,  lo 
correspond  with  his  virile  physique,  he  should  not 
be  so  a'slhetically  attuned,  or  to  accoril  with  his 
vigorous  spirituality  he  should  not  be  so  immacu- 
lately groomed.  One  never  thinks  of  an  artist,  or 
an  appreciator  of  art,  as  being  also  an  appreciator 
of  cravats  and  im])orted  eau  dc  cologne.  .-Xnd  when 
one  is  fastidious  about  one's  menu,  it  is  expected 
one  would  be,  to  the  exclusion  of  one's  choice  of 
opera 

Vet  this  phenomenal  youth  cannot  rclin(|uish  his 
fidelity  to  Arthur  Symons,  D'Annunzio,  Dante, 
Wilde,  Fokine  and  Caruso,  because  of  his  ade(|nate 
amount  of  interest  in  thoroughbreds,  surf-bathing. 
Hart  Schafifner  and  Marx,  and  Dardenella.  He 
cares  for  both  and  will  have  both.  A  good  piece 
of  watermelon  is  as  absorbing  to  him  as  a  work 
of  Rodin's.  He  can  go  one  day  to  Shirley  Blanc's 
to  be  photographed  as  a  rigid,  immobile,  determined, 
stern  mask.  And  the  following  afternoon  he  can 
drop  in  to  have  the  camera  catch  him  as  illusive, 
lambent,  unsubstantially  poetique. 

\'alentino  with  all  his  complexities,  and  because

Altho  he  has  made  ex- 
traordinary progress  in 
pictures,  having  played 
opposite  Mae  Murray, 
Dorothy  Gish  and  Car- 
mel  Myers,  Valentino 
does  not  want  to  stay 
here  forever.  He  longs 
to  go  to  South  Amer- 
ica, China,  Japan,  Egypt 
and  India  and  to  get  to 
know   these   places 


of  them,  is  normal.   He 
has    the    indolence    of 
Endymion    who    woidd 
dream  ;  the  reverence  of 
Dante  who  would  wor- 
ship ;  the  vitality  of  Don 
Juan     who     would     woo;     the 
extravagance  of   Don   Quixote 
who     would     exaggerate :     the 
courage    of     D'Artagnan     who 
would    dare ;    the    restraint    of 
Sordello    who   would   court   in 
deed;  the  desire  of   D'.-Xnnunzio  who  would  achieve;  the 
strength  of  Vulcan  who  would  excel ;  and  the  philosophy 
of  Omar  whose  "yesterday  is  dead  and  to-morrow  never 
comes." 

He  resembles  both  Dick  Barthelmess  and  Rod  La  Roc(|ue. 
His  accent  is  a  composite  of  Leo  Ditrichstein's,  Jose  Reub- 
en's, and  Pedro  de  Cordoba's. 

Ideas  are  what  he  would  oflfer ;  and  diffidence.  S])on- 
taneity ;  and  a  total  lack  of  response.  Yet,  he  doesn't  waver. 
He  is,  as  he  says  man  is,  definite — for  all  his  moods. 

One  would  not  dare  call  this  fiber  of  his  temperament, 
for  to  him,  the  word  "temperament"  is  greatly  misused 
promiscuously  thrown  about.  The  genuine  artist,  he  be 
lieves  rather  leaves  that  term  to  where  it  has  become  estab- 
lished— in  the  gutter.  The  artist  recedes  into  his  soul,  and 
believes.     His  ego  is  not  "I  am,"  but  "I  know." 

"There  is  an  artistic  temperament,"  Valentino  claims.  "It 
is  a  part  of  another  nuich  mishandled  ])hrase,  intellectuality.

OI"  course,  she  had  to  get  Chicago  out  of  her  system 
or  the  city  would  have  been  calhng  lier  all  the  time. 
So  she  went  back  to  the  place  she  was  born  and 
studied  for  the  stap",  which,  according  to  the  laws  of  Romance. 
was  the  proper  thiug  for  a  girl  brought  up  in  the  mountains  of 
Colorado  to  do.  .\X  any  rate,  Myrtle  Stednian  not  only  studied 
for  the  stage,  but  she  went  on  the  stage,  becoming  a  prima  donna 
in  a  very  short  time. 

But  the  most  impressionable  period  of  her  life  had  been  spent 
in  a  mining  camp  about  forty  miles  from  Denver.  There  she 
had  learnt  horseback  riding  and,  being  at  an  altitude  of  10,000 
feet,  she  had  naturally  become  proficient  in  the  most  difficult 
of  mountain  siwrts.  She  was  a  child  of  the  snows,  blonde  and 
hardy  as  a  Dane. 

It  was  while  she  was  appearing  in  comic  opera  in  Chicago 
that  she  met  Colonel  .^elig  and  he.  needing  a  leading  lady  and 
hearing  that  she  could  ride  horseback,  immediately  approached 
her  with  an  ofTer. 

"But,"  she  protested,  "I  dont  know  anything  about  moving 
pictures." 

"You  can  learn,"  he  answered.  "Why  dont  you  come  and 
visit  us?" 

"So,"  she  said,  in  telling  me  about  it,  "I  went  to  visit  the

studio.  I  saw  the  making  of  several 
scenes,  but  wasn't  greatly  tempted 
...  I  was  afraid  that  I  wouldn't  be 
able  to  do  the  work.  Then  Colonel 
Selig  showed  me  a  beautiful  thoro- 
bred  horse.  'This  horse'  he  said, 
'will  be  yours  if  you  join  us.  You 
can  ride  him  all  tlie  time.' 

"So  it  was  that  that  decided  me 
to  leave  comic  opera  for  moving 
pictures." 

You  might  call  it  persuaded  by  a 
horse  .  .  . 

"My  first  picture  was  called  'The 
Range-Riders',"  she  went  on,  "and 
I  was  not  the  only  member  of  the 
company  making  my  debut.  A 
young  man  who  had  come  the  same 
morning  was  as  strange  to  the  screen 
as  myself.  I  was  introduced  to  Tom 
Mix  and  after  that  we 
made  a  number  of  pic- 
tures together." 

Miss  Stedman  started 
her    screen    career    at 
about    the    same    time 
that    Mary    Pickford. 
Blanche  Sweet,  Bobbie 
Harron,  Kathlyn  Wil-

famous  "pioneers" 
started    theirs.

was    un-

Miss  Stedman  studied  for  the  stage 
and  became  a  prima  donna.   It  was

that  she  met  Colonel  Selig  who,

being  repaired,  not  by  the  to-be-e.xpected 
workmen,  but  by  two  portly,  well-dressed 
ladies,  the  owners  of  the  house. 

"They  own  several  houses,"  Miss  Stedman 
whispered,  "and  whenever  anything  goes 
wrong,  they  insist  on  making  the  repairs 
themselves." 

During  Umcheon,  we  could  see  them  thru 
the  slightly  parted  portieres  that  divided  the 
dining  from  the  sitting-room.  One  of  the 
ladies  stood  on  a  stepladder,  placed  just  inside  the  front  door, 
and  hammered  from  time  to  time,  while  the  other  held  a  kit  of 
tools  handy  and  tried  the  doorbell  occasionally  to  see  if  it  would 
work.  At  last  it  rang,  and  after  making  a  few  little  repairs  in 
the  kitchen  ...  it  seemed  that  the  ice-bo.x  drain  needed  atten-

The  Rise  of 
Beatrice 


and  now  I  found  licr  playing  0|>lX)sitc  Douglas 
MacL  an.  Biit  I  am  running  away  with  my 
story. 

Beatrice  is  a  southern  girt.     'I'exas  is  respon- 
sible for  the  sihilant  drawl  of  licr  voice,  the  vi- 
brant black  of  her  eyes,  the  tiny  suggestion  of

Beatricc  Burnham 
is  either  a  great 
artist  or  a  very  little 
girl.  That  is  the  im- 
pression the  inter- 
viewer received. 
She  is  a  daughter  of 
the  South,  and  Texas 
is  responsible  for 
the  sibilant  drawl  of 
her  voice,  the  vi- 
brant black  of  her 
eyes,  the  tiny  sug- 
gestion of  bravado 
that  smolders  con- 
stantly beneath  her 
appearance  of 
timidity 


ders  constantly  bc- 
neatli  her  appearance 
of  timidity. 

.\  convent  and  a  col- 
lege are  tlie  two  mile- 
stones that  mark  her 
pursuit  of  knowledge. 

Beatrice  is  one  of 
those  girls  who  never 
tell  you  things.  They 
always  confide  them. 
It  is  very  agreeable. 

"It  is  ten  months 
since  I  had  my  first 
part — with  Eddie  Polo 
in    an    episode    of    his 


I')iolO(ir.-\phs  by  Freulich 


A  SOFT,  cool  hand  in  mine  .  .  .  black  eyes  that 
fla.shed  behind  a  veil   ...  a  sigh  ... 
It  \N^s  done  so  deftly ! 

It  might  Irtve  been  a  jjoem ;  but.  alas,  it  was  only  the 
beginning  of  an  interview— and  in  the  conventional 
surroundings  of  the  Ince  studio. 

Beatrice  Burnham  is  either  a  great  artist  or  a  very 
little  girl.  It  should  have  been  easy  to  decide  which 
.  .  .  if  her  shyness  had  not  been  so  confoundedly  be- 
witching! I  wanted  to  believe  and  yet  that  soft  catcli 
in  her  breath  ...  It  was  done  so  perfectly.  Al- 
most too  perfectly ! 

While  I  yet  held  her  hand,  she  indicated  the  path 
that  stretched  away  before  us  and  disappeared  into 
a  maze  of  sets  and  stages  and  great  swimming  pools. 

She  barely  breathed  the  words:  'Terhaps  a  little 
walk  .  .  .    Then  I  shall  not  be  so  nervous." 

I  watched  her  out  of  the  corner  of  my  eye.  In 
scarlet  hat  and  coat  she  njade  a  vivid  figure.  The 
only  vagueness  was  the  blue  veil  that  covered  her 
face,  that  accentuated  the  whiteness  of  her  skin  and 
the  sloe-black  of  her  eyes.  .Xnd  her  grace  was 
not  confined  to  her  shyness.  She  walked  beauti- 
fnlly — with  the  balance  and  sway  of  a  rce<l  -in  the 
wind 

I  thought  of  the  ragged' mountain  girl  in  'ISullet 
Proof."    It  was  hard  to  realize  that  this  was  she. 
remember  talking  with  Harry  Carey  during  the  |)ro 
duction   and    I    recall    his   good-natured    a<lniis>ion: 
"She's  stealing  the  picture."  • 

I  had  often  wondered  what  had  become  of  her; 


(1  K'ettly  lour)

"Cyclone  Smith"  series.  It  all 
happened  in  the  most  wonder- 
ful way.  I  was  on  the  Univer- 
sal lot  as  a  visitor.  I  had  no  in- 
tention then  of  ever  attempting 
to  get  into  pictures.  But 
Jacques  Jaccard  saw  me  and 
dared  me  to  take  a  screen  test. 
I  did,  of  course,  and  was  a  lit- 
tle bewildered  by  the  result." 

She  sighed  retrospectively, 
leaving  my  imagination  hang- 
ing limply  in  the  air.  That  is 
what  makes  me  doubt  .  .  . 
her  trick  of  always  choosing 
the  correct  moment  —  just 
when  you  are  waiting  breath- 
less upon  her  next  word — for  a 
sigh  and  a  pause. 

A  great  artist  ...  a  little 
girl  .  .  .   ? 

"What  was  the  result,"  I  de- 
manded. 

"Oh,  everyone  got  terribly 
e.xcited.  You  see,  I  had  had  to 
cry  and  I  cried  so  hard  that 
they  couldn't  believe  it  was  act- 
ing. But  when  they  saw  that 
it  was,  I  guess  they  thought 
they  had  discovered  a  second 
Bernhardt  —  for  a  moment. 
Eddie  Polo — he  seemed  such  a 
wonderfully  famous  man  in 
those  days  ! — declared  that  he 
wanted  me  for  one  of  his  epi- 
sodes. He  got  me  without 
much  persuasion !" 

We  had  talked  ourselves 
around  the  circuit  of  the  studio 
grounds  and  back  to  the  long 
row  of  dressing-rooms.  I  no- 
ticed on  a  nearby  door,  in 
bright,  fresh  letters  the  name 
"Beatrice  Burnham."  A 
glimpse  of   the   room  past  the 

lialf-open  door  made  it  seem  cool  and  inviting.     She  murmured 
a  suggestion  that  we  go  in. 

Once  in,  her  confidence  seemed  to  be  restored,  tho  she  sat 
erectly  graceful,  her  hands  still  nervous,  while  she  told  me — 
no,  confided — the  story  of  her  brief  ten  months  in  pictures. 
It  was  that  test  at  Universal  City  that  she  regards  as  the  start 
of  her  career.  Two  years  ago  she  did  one  or  two  "bits"  for 
different  companies,  but  they  were  merely  the  summer  larks 
of  a  school  girl. 

Universal  realized  that  they  had  unearthed  a  discovery  worth 
while  and  were  determined  to  keep  it  for  themselves,  on  their 
own  terms.  But  they  had  reckoned  without  that  bravado 
smoldering  beneath,  that  bravado  which,  after  all,  proved  to  be 
an  unquenchable  courage. 

"They  were  lovely,"  she  sighed.  "They  took  me  to  dinners 
and  sent  me  boxes  of  candy  and  even  took  me  to  the  theater 
now  and  then.  I  wanted  it  to  go  on  forever.  I  forgot  all  about 
the  contract." 

She  ventured  a  naive  little  smile  and  glance. 

"But  it  seems  that  they  hadn't.  They  were  even  a  little  ex- 
asperated when  I  at  last  said  'No'  to  them."

Miss  Burnham  has 
been  on  the  screen  for 
about  ten  months;  her 
first  part  was  with 
Eddie  Polo  in  one  of 
his  "Cyclone  Smith" 
series.  Her  career  with 
Universal  was  brief. 
Then  she  called  on  Mr. 
Ince,  and  he  immedi- 
ately engaged  her  to 
play  opposite  Douglas 
MacLean 


There  was  an  actual  wonderment 
in  her  eyes ! 

It  was  my  turn  to  sigh.    I  did. 

Her  career  with  Universal  was 
as  busy  as  it  was  brief.  From  the 
Polo  pictures  she  went  to  wild  ani- 
mal comedies  and  thence  to  five- 
reel  westerns.  There  is  a  hint  of  a 
playful  destiny  in  the  fact  that  tlio 
she  came  unharmed  thru  the  animal 
comedies  with  their  inevitable  lions 
and  chimpanzees,  her  arm  was  badly 
lacerated  by  tlie  treacherous  teeth 
of  a  grouchy  bniin  in  "Bullet  Proof 
all  her  life. 

In  "Hitchin'  Post"  with  Frank  Mayo  she  did  the  work  that 
brought  the  offer  of  a  five-year  contract  from  I'nivcrsal.  the 
contract  which  she  refused — after  many  dinners  and  a  tlicater 
or  two. 

She  went  to  Edgar  Lewis  and  won  a  good  part  in  "Lahoma."

an  artist's  model.     .She  landed  with  the  old  Kalem  com-

Miss  Nilsson  really  was  born  there. 
Indeed,  she  is  a  typical  blonde  viking.     "I

The  Charm  School 

Told  in  Story  Form  from  the  Wallace  Reid— Famous  Players'  Photoplay 
By  FAITH  SERVICE 


AUSTIN  BEVANS  was  a  bright  young  man.  Most  per- 
sons concede'd  hiiu  that.  He  had  two  outstanding  char- 
acteristics so  marked  as  to  all  but  completely  overshade 
any  others  which  he  may  have  possessed.  He  was  an  e.xcellent 
salesman  and  an  excellent  lover.  Par  excellence,  in  fact.  Of 
the  first,  his  specialty  was  automobiles  and  for  the  second,  at 
the  time  of  which  I  write,  Susie  Rolles. 

Susie  had  an  enterprising  Mamma.  An  automobile  Sales- 
man, however  snappy,  did  not  accord  with  Mamma's  enter- 
pri.se.  Susie  was  her  one  branch  and  be.st  bet,  and  she  had 
buildcd  greatly  and  rather  expensively  on  Susie.  The  flavor 
of  gasoline  did  not  suit  her. 

She  explained  this  to  Susie  at  some  length  and  to  .Austin  with 
some  asperity.  Wither  of  them  seemed  to  weigh  her  words 
very  heavily.  She  Iia<l  been  all  of  seventeen  years  in  instruct- 
ing Susie  that  this  world  is  ruled  by  Mammon.  Susie  was  learn- 
ing and  .Austin  might  be  said  to  be  her  last  line  before  stepping 
over  into  Mamma's  Pet  Beliefs. 

Xevertheless,  despite  the  fact  that  the  course  of  love  did  not 

(  Twi'iily-sci'cn) 


run  smooth  for  .Austin  with  Susie,  the  young  man  had  a  lot  to 
thank  the  Rolles  menage  for.  They  were,  he  later  admitted, 
eye-openers,  the  pair  of  them.  In  the  caustic  course  of  her 
harangues,  Mamma  Rolles  had  informed  him  that  she  hadn't 
raised  her  daughter  to  be  a  laborer  .  .  .  she  inferred  that  matri- 
mony with  Mr.  Bevans  would  result  in  nothing  else  than  that. 

"Women,  my  dear,  good  .-Vustin,"  Mamma  would  say,  "are 
made  to  charm.  To  charm — that  is,  or  should  be,  the  alpha  and 
omega  of  their  pilgrimage  upon  this  ear+h.  Women  have  no 
business  in  business,  either  commercial  or  professional — their 
business  is  to  be  charming — to  be  charming " 

Evidently,  Mrs.  Rolles  did  not  conceive  the  possibility  of  her 
Susie  being  able  to  charm  as  Mrs.  .Austin  Bevans. 

On  one  memorable  occasion  Susie  greeted  him  with  flushed 
cheeks  and  dilated  eyes. 

"Vou  must  go  at  once,"  she  said,  with  some  e.xcitement ;  "I've 
had  the  dickens  of  a  row  with  Mamma.  I — I  hate  to  fell  you, 
.Au.stin.  but  she  is  very  firm  in  her  idea.  Her — her  idea  is  that 
you  have  neither  birth,  breeding  nor  [)rospects  and  I — and  I "

And  as  for  prospects" — he  inflated 
his  chest :  "we  shall  see " 

There  was  a  melodramatic  flourish  of  hat,  and  he  was  gone. 
Susie  wept  a  few  carefully  heconiing  tears  and  went  forth  in 
search  of  other  fish  to  fry,  and  .Austin  repaired  to  his  office, 
where  he  was  duly  notified  that  his  services  would  no  longer 
be  required.  The  implication  pointed  to  a  lady.  Without  an 
undue  share  of  perspicacity.  Austin  deduced  that  the  lady  was 
Susie.  It  would  be  unbecoming  a  hero  to  suggest  that  he  cursed 
the  House  of  Rolles  roundly  and  well.  Rather  let  it  be  inferred 
that  he  languished  and  repined 

Occasionally  life  as  an  equable  equation  presents  it.self.  Along 
with  his  little  blue  ticket  .^ustin  found  an  ominous  looking  docu- 
ment bearing  the  anathema  of  coming  from  an  attorney.  He 
opened  it  10  be  informed  that  his  Aunt  Polly  Bevans  had  passed 
on  to  the  Other  Side  and  had  left  behind  her  on  this  terrestrial 
plane  her  well-known  .Aunt  Polly  Bevans'  School  for  Young 
Indies,  with  fifty  pupils,  a  cottage  and  ten  acres  of  well-tended 
ground.  The  meat  of  the  matter  was  the  fact  that  the  whole 
descended  to  Austin. 

At  first  he  was  staggered,  being  normal.  He  was  a  good 
salesman — or  had  been  until  his  dismissal  pricked  the  bright 
bauble  of  his  confidence.  He  was  a  vivid  lover,  yet  he  had  been 
ousted  via  the  back  door  like  any  skulking  Romeo.  And  with 
nothing  to  sell — and  fifty  maidens — vow  !  Then,  like  all  valiant 
souls,  he  began  to  take  stock  of  his  experiences  and  determined 
to  make  them  work  for  them.  Susie  was  a  product  of  a  system 
of  charm.  Well — Susie  would  undoubtedly  "get  along."  She 
would  toil  not,  neither  would  .'-he  sjiin.  She  was  a  lily  and  her 
mission  was  to  grow,  exhaling  the  fragrance  which  was  her 
riativity.     The  more  perfectly  she  exhaled,  the  more  perfectly 

would  she  justify  her  nativity Not  a  bad  thought Who 

wanted  college  women,  business  women,  professional  women? 
Who  wanted  oracles,  theorists,  faddists,  modernists?  What  did 
they  profit  a  man  ?  It  was  one  thing  to  lose  one's  soul  for  the  frou- 
frou of  a  skirt.    It  was  another  and  quite  unmanly  to  lose  one's 


mind  for  the  firm  tread 
of  an  .Amazonjan  intel- 
lectual. In  tftat  respect, 
as  in  most  others,  Mrs. 
Rolles  had  been  right. 
.Austin  was  beginning, 
in  sooth,  to  look  upon 
her  as  his  benefactress. 
Viewed  from  afar, 
Susie  had  the  aspect  of 
something  to  be  saved 
from.  Mamma  Rolles 
had  thrown  him  the  life 
line.  The  result  of  the 
cogitation  was  the  de- 
termination to  perpetu- 
ate at  least  one  of 
Mamma  Rolles'  theo- 
r  i  e  s.  He,  Austin 
Bevans,  would  take 
Aunt  Polly's  legacy, 
fifty  pupils,  acreage  and 
all.  He  would  remove 
the  Acting  Principal,  so 
specified  in  the  bond  as 
"Miss  Hayes"  and  in- 
stitute himself.  He 
would  revolutionize  the 
school  and  the  fifty 
young  ladies.  They  should  be  taught  one  credo — to 
charm.  It  should  be  called  The  Charm  School  and 
its  aim  would  be  to  turn  out  upon  the  male  population  Loreleis 
with  every  faculty  trained  to  its  acme  of  perfection. 

Preparatory  college  courses,  business  trainings  and  the  like 
should  be  tabooed,  ridiculed,  relegated  to  limbo.  To  charm — 
to  charm — to  charm — this  and  this  only  should  be  the  rite  and 
the  religion.  It  was  a  great  idea!  The  world  went  mad  over 
ideas.     .Austin  exulted. 

There  would  have  to  be  money.  Austin  thought  hard  and 
hit  upon  the  last  victim  to  whom  he  had  sold  a  car.  That  said 
victim  happened  to  be  Homer  Johns,  president  of  the  Corn 
Exchange  Bank  and  an  unapproachable  proposition,  did  not  deter 
the  apostle  of  the  new  Educational  Creed.  He  went  to  him  at 
once  and  demanded  ten  thousand  dollars. 

While  Homer  Johns  was  spluttering  and  struggling  back  to 
equilibrium,  Austin  was  launching  forth  upon  his  project. 

He  had  a  convincing  vocabulary,  had  Austiri.  Also  some  gift 
of  oratory,  but  he  probably  got  what  he  had  come  for — more, 
because  Homer  Johns  was  fed  up  on  the  feminist  movement 
than  for  any  other  reason.  Wife,  daughter  and  now  grand- 
daughter had  gone  the  radical  road  in  the  Johns  menage  and 
the  old  man  yearned  for  the  gentler  days  of  the  toil-less  and 
spinless  (not  to  say  spincAea)  woman.  Here,  he  felt,  was  a 
young  man  with  the  right  idea.  A  young  mari.  who  might  be 
preparing  for  a  coming  generation  at  least  a  fisw  apostles  of 
peace.    He  was  fnr  him. 

"I'll  go  down  with  you,"  he  said,  "and  look  over  the  ground, 
it's  bizarre — but  it  hits  me  right." 

On  the  way  down  he  disclosed  the  fact  that  he  had  a  grand- 
daughter at  Aunt  Polly  Bevans'  School.  "She's  been  getting 
the  same  way  as  her  mother  and  her  grandmother,"  he  com- 
plained, "and  I  am  genuinely  fond  of  the  child.  I  dont  forget 
her  little  ways  when  she  was  a  baby — she  was  the  most  cuddle- 
some  baby  ever  born,  I  think,  and  it  gives  me  a  shock  to  see 
her  and  to  hear  her  now,  developing  radical  views  and  opinions, 
talking  of  a  college  career,  the  economic  independence  of  woman, 
the  evolution  of  this,  that  and  the  other  thing.  It  sounds  like 
iron  coming  from  lips  where  pearls  ought  to  be.  I'd  like  to 
check  her  up.  It  would  be  worth  ten  thousand  dollars  to  me  to 
do  just  that.  If  you  can,  young  man,  consider  the  ten  thousand 
as  gift  rather  than  a  loan  or  an  investment." 

We  may  anticipate,  but  in  accomplishing  this  end,  .Austin 
was  helped  by  the  fact  that  Elise  Johns  fell  in  love  with  him 
and  promptly  lost  all  economically  independent  aspirations. 
However,  that  is  anticipating  my  story 

(Twenty-eight) 


CLASSIC 


Elise  may  hardly  be  said  to  be  alone.  When  the  fifty  young 
ladies  witnessed  the  arrival  of  Hoiner  Johns  and  Austin  Bevans 
they  naturally,  being  pessimists,  thought  Homer  Johns  was  the 
new  principal.  When  Elise,  still  cuddlesome  Austin  thought, 
involuntarily,  greeted  the  old  gentleman  as  Granddaddy  and 
.Austin  dawned  upon  them  as  their  Principal,  fifty  hearts  cracked 
like  china  and  a  cult  was  then  and  there  established. 

It  was  not  all  so  soft,  however.  .Austin  found  himself,  in 
the  first  place,  very  much  indeed  "up  against"  Miss  Hayes. 
Miss  Hayes  had  been  Acting  Principal  since  the  Will  of  (lod 
had  removed  Aunt  Polly. 

She  beheved  vehemently  in  the  Woman  in  Big  Business,  etc., 
etc.  She  maintained  with  a  beef,  iron  and  wine  enunciation 
that  this  was  the  Day  and  Age  of  Specialization ;  that  woman 
tiiust  meet  the  new  demand  of  the  new  Era;  that  .Austin  was, 
like  his  sex,  endeavoring  to  keep  Woman,  servile,  unenlightened. 
She  flatly  denounced  him  as  "shameless,  archaic,  insidious." 

Said  Austin:  "If  you  are  not  in  sympathy  with  my  unalter- 
able ideas  and  ideals.  Miss  Hayes,  you  are  at  liberty  to  leave." 

The  remark  was,  distinctly,  a  command. 

Said  Miss  Hayes:  "I  have  a  three-year  contract,  Mr.  Bevaiis. 
1  am  now  entenng  upon  the  first  of  the  three  years.  It  is  my 
pleasure  as  well  as  my  duty  to  remain.  I  am  a  woman,  Mr. 
Bevans." 

"We  are  not  disputing  that.  Miss  Hayes,"  said  Austin,  and 
waived  the  question. 

Let  the  woman  rave,  he  thought.  He  would  have  exhaling 
lilies  despite  her.  He  was  not  without  instinct  and  intuition. 
He  had  been  there  a  week.  A  week  had  he  been  under  the 
battery  of  fifty  pairs  of  limpid,  upraised  eyes,  blue,  grey,  sloe- 
black,  leaf-broWn,  they  met  his  with  a  sparkle,  with  a  tremor, 

with  a  star No,  he  had  nothing  to  fear  from  Miss  Hayes, 

These  young,   fundamentally   feminine  things   would  be   lilies 

or  hardier  growths  as  he  should  will Their  will  to  charm 

was  there.  His  but  to  call  it  forth,  perfect 
it,  enhance  it,  give  it  into  their  hands  to  use, 
consciously,  an  invaluable  weapon. 

He  had  felt  it  as  a  niission  when  it  first 
came  to  him.     He  felt  it  more  so  now — 
now  that  he  had  seen  Elise.     Not  that  he 
admitted    this    to 
himself  in  so  many 
words.  He  felt  dif- 


ferently about  Elise,  older,  more  protective When  he  noted 

a  flower  on  his  desk  every  morning,  a  white  and  scent-giving 
flower  and  traced  it  to  Elise,  he  felt  shamed.  She  was  so  young — 
she  would  get  over  it — a  school  girl  infatuation  for  the  Acting 
Principal  who  happened,  quite  accidentally  and  certainly  uninten- 
tionally,  to  be  young  and   with   some   slight   bearing ()f 

course,  she  would  get  over  it.  ( )nce  she  was  thru  with  the  Charm 
School,  once  she  was  launched  into  the  brilliant  prismatic  circle 
to  which  she  had  been  born,  she  would  exhale  the  perfume  of  her 
charm  in  a  rarefied  circle  above  and  beyond  the  Acting  Principal. 

At  the  same  sacrificial  moment  he  admitted  his  own  love  for 
her,  and  knew,  too,  that  he  had  never  been  in  love  before.  Love, 
then,  was  nine-tenths  pain,  nine-tenths  self-abnegation,  far  more 
distress  than  joy — cbbcnc! 

There  were  so  many  contributory  elements  going  to  make  up 
the  distress.  There  was  Elise's  roommate,  for  one,  Sally  Boyd. 
Xot  that  Sally,  as  Sally,  mattered  very  much  either  to  Austin 
or  to  anybody  else,  but  she  had  a  brother.  Brother  George  had 
been  in  love  with  Elise,  it  seemed,  since  pinafore  days.  When 
the  news  of  the  .Adonis-like  quali- 
fications of  the  new  Acting  Prin- 
cipal reached  his  ears,  he  was  con- 
sumed with  jealousy.  He  besought 
his  mother  to  remove  Sally  from 
the  iniquitous  surroundings  and 
to  use  her  influence  with  Homer 
Johns  to  remove  his  granddaugh- 
ter. His  stolid  imagination,  tem- 
|)orarily    inflamed,    conjured    up 

vivid  and  vicious  images He 

had  never  been  taken  very  seri- 
ously, however,  and  found  some

The  Story 
of  Flora  Revalles 

By  ELIZABETH    PELTRET 


THIS  is  the  story  of  a  girl  whose  father  biiilt  a  railroad 
in  A  frica.  Whether  her  inheritance  from  him  has  aiiy- 
thing  to  do  with  tlie  matter  or  not,  it  is  hard  to  say,  but 
time  and  space  seem,  somehow,  to  have  no  meaning  to  her. 

It  is  a  difficult  thing,  the  moralists  will  tell  you,  to  gain 
fame  if  you  keep  moving  all   the  time.     And  yet  that  is 
exactly  what  Flora  Revalles  is  doing.     She  has  the  mental 
restlessness  .  .  .  and  the  determination,  too,  .  .  .  that  her 
father  must  have  had  when  he  planned  the 'lay- 
ing-out of  those  tracks  thru  the  jungles.     She 
could  never  "sing  for  her  own  village"  she  must 
go  out  into  the  world  .  .  .  every  corner 
of  it  .  .  .  and  sing  for  the  world. 

"!'  do  not  like   long  term  contracts," 
she  told  me,   "they   keep   one   in 
the  same  place  for  so  long  a  time. 
I  hate  to  be  tied  down." 

And  this  intense  restlessness 
...  a  restlessness  of  the  mind 
rather  than  of  the  body  ...  is,  I 
think,  the  most  noticeably  charac- 
teristic thing  about  her. 

We    were    seated    in    a    little 


alcove  at  the  Beverly  Hills  hotel 
where  she  was  staying  during  the 
production  of  the  moving  picture, 
"Earthbound"     from     the     spirit- 
ualistic novel  by  Basil  King,  which 
marks  her  second  appearance  on 
the    screen.      Somewhere    near,    most 
l)robably    in    the    dining-room,    an    or- 
chestra    played     "Finiculi,     Finjcula." 
The    strains    came    to    us    softly.      Portieres, 
looped   back   but   lightly,   hid   us   completely 
from  the  main  lobby. 

From  the  viewpoint  of  the  lobby,  this  would  doubtless  have 
been  voted  a  very  regrettable  thing, 
if  they  could  have  known.  She 
looked  so  gorgeou.sly  vivid,  did  la 
Revalles,  like  sunlight  on  snow, 
you  would  have  fancied,  or  if  you 
are  in  the  habit  of  associating 
people  with  jewels,  like  a  rare 
emerald.  And  yet  she  wore  no 
brilliant  color,  and  few  jewels,  a 
long  ermine  scarf  was  thrown 
over  her  shoulders,  her  gown,  her 
hat,  her  furs  formed  a  color  com- 
bination of  black  and  white  and 
silver.  Only  her  lips  were  red. 
Her  clear  olive  skin  accentuated 
the  darkness  of  her  eyes  and  hair. 

There  are  artists  who  claim  to  paint  the  souls  of  their  sub- 
jects.    She  makes  you  feel  that  Leon  Bakst  could  paint  hers; 
vivid,  gloriously  colorful  in  contrasting  shades  of  greens  and 
blues  and  puri)les ;  a  thing  of  beauty  and  restlessness  and  life. 
"I  think  I  mu.st  have  been  an  animal  at  some  time,"  she 
said,  "I  love  them  so.    But  not  the  house  cats; 
no,  1  do  not  like  cats.     But  I  like  tlwc  tigers

ihrnoul  the  land,  Tom  Forman  was  one  of 
the  most  popular  of  the  young  leading  men

in  the  coast  artillery  two  months  after  our 
entry  into  the  great  conflict. 

"Cut  out  the  war  stuflf,"  he  ordered  me; 
"every  writer  has  sobbed  over  it  in  the 
magazines.  I  only  did  the  best  I  could  for 
the  service." 

P.nt  because  Tom  F'ornian's  story  is  dis- 
tinctly an  after-llic-war  story,  I  must  allude 
briefly  to  his  service. 

When  he   found  that  the  coast  artillery 
provided  little  opportunity  for  getting  "over 
there,"  Tom  I'orman  requested  a  transfer  to 
the  infantry.     In  this  branch  of  the  service 
he  stood  so  high  that  he  was  one  of  the  two 
in  his  company  to  be  chosen  to  attend  an 
ofificers'     training 
camp.    Here  he  won 
his  commission  as 
junior    lieutenant 
and   was   put   to 
training    raw    re- 
cruits.    He  was   so 
anxious  to  get  across 
that  he  worked  them 
harder  than  did  any 
of  the  other  officers 
until  he  lia<l  the  best 
trained   men   in   the 
lot    .    .    .    and  then, 
because    he     had 
trained  them  so  well, 
they    were   sent 
abroad    under    the 
guidance  of  another 
leader   and    he    was 
held  over  here.     He 
had    proved 
himself  too 
valuable    a 
trainer   to  be 
sent  over  there 
as    cannon 
fodder.

When  lie  heard  he  was  to  be  held 
here,  Tom  Forrnan  invaded  the 
general's  headijuarters  in  high 
dudgeon.  Twenty  tini'  he  sought 
his  commanding  officer  before  he 
obtained  an  audience.  Then  he 
stated  his  grie\ance,  he  wanted  to 
go  to  France. 

The  general  looked  at  the  dissat- 
isfied officer.   "H .  sir,"  he  said, 

"Fve  been  training  men  for  thirty 
years,  and  they  are  over  there  and 
I'm  here,  here  because  this  is  where 

my  country  needs  me  .   .  .   H , 

.sir,  are  you  any  better  than  I  am? 
I'm  not  complaining,  why  should 
you?  Go  back  and  ti.iin  your 
men." 

"Yes,  sir,"  said  Forman,  and  he 
went  back  to  his  uncouth  camp  and 
weary  month  after  weary  month  lie 
turned  awkward  lumberjacks  and 
backwoodsmen  intrt  sna|)py  sol- 
diers, and  he  shipped  batch  after 
batch  of  them  over  there  .   .   .  and 


Mr.  Lasky  came  along 
with  an  offer  for  Tom 
to  direct — and  this  be- 
ing the  work  he  likes 
best,  he  is  now  happily 
building  pictures  that 
feature  human  types 
and  are  logical.  He  is 
bringing  to  the  screen 
a  certain  wholesome- 
ness  and  a  big  view- 
point. Mr.  Forman's 
one  ambition  is  to  hunt 
tiger  in  Siberia 


(Thirty -three  J 


he  read  about  their  "snuffing  out"  in 
the  jiapers.  the  soldiers  he  had  made, 
and  still  he  was  held  here  to  make 
new  man  material  for  (ierman  cannon 
to  slaughter. 

When  the  armistice  was  signed  and 
he  found  himself  again  in  Hollywood 
sitting  on  the  side-hnes  of  a  picture 
studio  with  grease-paint  on  his  face, 
waiting  for  some  silk-shirted  director 
to  give  him  orders,  he  found  a  slow 
antipathy  for  the  whole  mockery  of  it 
stealing  over  him. 
The  woods  and  men,  camp-fires  and  bugle  calls,  service  and 
work,  and  now  this — grease-paint! 

Before  his  enlistment,  Tom  Forman  was  well  on  the  way  to 
stardom.  His  mail  from  fans  and  admirers  had  been  the  heaviest 
in  the  studio ;  when  he  returned  he  found  he  was 
I)ractically  forgotten.  And  he  sat  on  the  stage, 
once  more  dolled  up,  forgotten  by  the  public, 
waiting,  waiting  for  the  other  fellow  to  give  him 
orders, 

Then  came  his  great  role  as  the  young  soldier- 
husband  in  Cecil  B.  de  M die's  "For  Better  or 
For  Worse,"  one  of  the  finest  bits  of  silverscreen

Their  art  has  been  with  them  for  a  Ion;;  lime. 
It  is  part  of  tliemselves  'I'hey  are  not  merely  in

making  the  pursuit  of  pleasure  one's  princijial

has  faded.  The  Neills  accept  their  added 
years — (tliey  are,  I  .should  say,  somewhere  in 
the  late  f<irties) — in  cheerful  peace,  and  for 
this  reason,  they  seem  astoundmgly  young.  I

one  single  picture

NO  one  could  give  an 
account  of  F.dythe 
Chapman's  home 
life  without  describing 
the  home  life  of  James 
Neill  also. 

"We've  been  so  long 
together,"  said  Miss 
Chapman,  or  rather, 
Mrs.  Neill,  ''that  we  are 
almr)st  like  one  person." 

Kilvthc  Chapman  and

they  have  been  almost

But.  notwithstanding 
their  years  of  wander-

impresses  one  about  the

they  give  of  perfect  sta-

and  was  hronght  to  Anierita  by  her  ancestor, 
W'ilHam  Jones,  thrn  whom  she  is  directly  de-

proud  of  belonging  to  the  original  "Jones" 
family,  whose  descendants  may  be  numbered 
by  thousands.  She  is  a  New  Yorker  by  birth 
and  her  early  traditions  were  all  of  the  un-

James   Neill,  on   the   contrary,   is  of   Latin 
descent — Spanish  and  Irish.     He  was  born  in 
Savannah,  Georgia,  and  while  his  wife's  jieople 
were   fighting   under   the    Northern    flag,    his 
people     fought     for    the     Confederacy.       His 
father  and  mother  were  enthusiastic  devotees 
of    the   theater,    and,    far    from    discouraging 
him  in  his  choice  of  a  career,  they  were  enthu- 
siastic about   it  and  have  always  been  jiroud

His     first    engage-

and  extravagance, 
crowds  of  people 
thronged  nightly  to 
the  "  M  i  d  n  i  g  li  t

about  "Where  dear  old  .Shannon's  flowing, 
where  tlie  throe-leaved  shamrock  grows" — 
and  because  of  her  Irish  eyes  and  the  win- 
some daintiness  of  lier,  they  nicknamed  lier 
for  the  river  whose  praises  she  sang. 
That's  how  Shannon  Day  got  her  name. 

"My  real  name  is  Sylvia,"  she  confided, 
with  a  fetching  frankness  that  is  charac- 
teristic of  her.  "I'ut  I  sang  the  Shannon 
song  so  often,  and  then  artists  had  me  pose 
as  the  river,  and  ]>ainted  me  for  covers, 
that  the  girls  at  the  Roof  began  calling  nic 
'Shannon,'  and  pretty  soon  everyone  was 
doing  it — .so  I  Just  ado])ted  it  for  good." 

I  think  the  good  old  Irish  river  must  have 
been  highly  |)leased,  for  luck  has  trailed 
along  in  the  wake  of  the  little  colleen  who 
looks  entirely  Irish,  but  who  is,  as  she 
admits  laughingly,  a

grandmother  born  in

Because  of  her  Irish 
eyes  and  the  winsome 
daintiness  of  her,  they 
nicknamed  her  for  the 
river  whose  praises  she 
used  to  sing  nightly  up 
at  the  "Midnight  Frol- 
ic." That's  how  Shan- 
non Day  got  her  name

then,  and  a  success  from  the  start.  But  one 
night  she  was  singled  out  to  do  a  little  scene 
with  Ned  Weyburn.  Ambition,  with  a 
capital  "A,"  marked  her  then  and  there. 
After  that  nothing  would  do  but  she  must 
have  a  fling  at  pictures. 

"I  was  just  a  kid,"  this  very  apologetic- 
ally, "and  I  figured  out  that  if  I  was  good 
enough  to  be  singled  out  of  thirty  girls  for 
a  scene  with  Ned  Weyburn,  somebody 
would  think  I  was  good  enough  for  pictures." 

So  out  West  she  came  and,  of  course, 
somebody  saw  her  right  away — a  Ziegfeld 
"Follies"  beauty  isn't  exactly  inconspicuous, 
even  in  such  a  beauty  mart  as  Los  Angeles, 
and  she  was  signed  up  to  play  leads  in 
comedies  with  Fox.  But  homesickness  and 
Broa<lway-longing  finally  pulled  her  East- 
ward.

"Just  how  old  are  you  ?"  I  wanted  to  know.

Peaceful  Valley 

Fictionized  from  the  Charles  Ray  Photoplay 
By  PEARL  MALVERN 


PEACEFUL  N'ALLEY  was  an  imerlude.     In  the  midst  of 
crowded  things  and  places  it  canie,  gweet-breatliing  and 
tranquil.     It  conjured  relief  to  the  mind  and  to  the  body. 
It   was   devoid  of  all   harass^ 
nient.     It  caused  one  to  turn 
away    from   the   red   raptures 
and  redder  roses  to  the  holly- 
hocks,   the    zinnias,    the    ver- 
benas and   friendly   small 
pansies. 

Its  people  had  taken  on  its 
aspect.  They,  too,  were 
sweet-breathing  and  tranquil. 
They  moved  gently  along  tlie 
placid  streams  of  living. 
There  was  no  ostentation. 
There  was  no  friction.  The 
birds  seemed  to  sing  with  a 
certain  unruffled  happiness. 
The  brooks  murmured  com- 
fortably. The  skies  bent  low 
and  were  kind. 

Especially  there  were  the 
Howes.  Mrs.  Howe,  Her 
son  Hosea.  Her  daughter

the  seasons  and  the  rains  tliereof.     Mrs.  Howe,  too,  had  merely 

stepped  from  a  neighboring 
farm  to  her  husband's  hearth- 
stone. Joint  legends  came 
down  to  Hosea  and  Martha. 
They  knew  nothing  else.

a  year,  and  by  the  time  they  were  twelve  they  knew  them  word 
for  word.  The  only  fascination  consisted  in  wondering  what 
iiiifllit  happen  in  the  event  of  a  variation.  They  were  devout 
and  believed  in  miracles.     I!ut  one  never  occurred. 

The  other  excitement  was  the  old-fashione<l  hotel  on  the 
other  side  of  the  Farm.  It  was  run  by  Jotham,  also  old  fasli- 
ioned.  Its  chief  charm  seemed  to  hold  forth  for  insomniacs. 
It  looked  deeply  and  chronically  sleepy.  One  could  but  slec)) 
within  its  sun-lazed,  unstirring  portals.  Still,  each  summer 
there  came  to  it  from  here  and  there  strangers  seeking  one 
form  or  another  of  respite  from  routine. 

}losea  and  Martha  had  quite  a  list  of  fascinating  recollec- 
tions. (Occasionally,  there  had  been,  in  the  Fast,  a  boy  or  a 
girl  unique  and  glamorous,  giving  Peaceful  valley  food  for  talk 
all  thru  the  ensuing  winter  months.  Winter  was  very  rigorous 
in  Peaceful  N'alley.  Jotham  and  his  hotel  were  something  in  the 
nature  of  a  charity. 

The  summer  that  Martha  and  Hosea  were  seventeen  and 
eighteen  proved  to  be  memorable.  Jotham  had  put  a  new  coat 
of  paint  on  the  Hotel,  which  may  have  accounted  for  the  uinisu- 
ally  festive  guests.  The  lirst  Sunday  in  June  brought  the  first 
one.  Ilosea  was  preparing  for  Church  when  a  man,  obvious- 
ly a  "city"  stoppcil  and  asked  for  some  water.  En  route  to 
the  well  he  impressed  1  losea  with  the  evidently  important 
facts  that  his  name  was  Ward  Andrews,  he  hailed  from  tlie 
very  nucleus  of  the  City  and  that  he  was,  modestly  enough,  of 


course,  but  taken  all  in  all  a  most  important,  worth-while- 
associating-with  fellow.  Hosea  implicitly  believed  him.  The 
flap  of  Ward  .\ndrews'  well-kept  hand  on  the  shoulder  of 
his  Sunday  best  suit  maile  liim  quite  tingle  with  a  new  self- 
esteem.  He  felt  a  kinshi])  with  the  magical  circle  outside 
Peaceful  N'alley  of  which  he  and  Martha  and  Mrs.  Howe  often 
spoke  with  reverence. 

Ward  .\ndrews  made  a  wry  face  when  he  drank  the  water. 
"Some  taste!"  he  observed,  wiping  his  mouth  with  a  very  large, 
lavender  linen  handkerchief.  "Some  taste,  I'm  here  to  tell 
you !" 

Hosea  said  he  believed  it  was  good  for  you,  the  water.  His 
father  had  told  his  mother  so  when  she  had  first  come  to  Per- 
]iindicular.  a  bride,  and  hail,  herself,  objected  to  the  water. 

.Ml  this  gave  Ward  .Andrews  a  line  of  thought,  but  he  main- 
tained silence.     It  was  his  way. 

liefore  he  left  he  had  met  Martha.  "You're  buried  alive 
here,"  lie  informed  her,  "yon  ought  to  get  out  and  have  a 
chance." 

Hosea  colored  u]>.    "We're  sa\  in'  up  to  send  her  to  college." 
lie  said,  with  a  certain  red-faced  jiride  ;  "she  did  fine  in  school." 
"Have  you  ever  tbouglit  of  selling  the  farm?"  Andrews  put 
the  f|uestion  carelessly. 

Hosea  nodded.  "We  Iiave."  he  said,  "if  we  can  get  our  price. 
We'd  clo  most  anything  to  give  Martha  her  chance.  She  de- 
serves it.    She's  the  bright  one  of  the  family.    And  mother'd 

like  the  city.  She's 
often  felt  stifled,  she 
says.  Yes  sir,  we'd  sell." 
Andrews  said  a  word 
or  two  more,  invited 
Martha  to  ride  '"ith  him 
in  his  car  one  day  soon 
and  sauntered  off  with 
a  "See  you  in  Church." 
It  was  all  very  obvi- 
ous, but  Peaceful  Valley 
was  very  simple,  and  its 
people  were  the  same. 

In  the  Howe  pew 
there  were,  that  same 
Sunday,  two  other  per- 
,sons  seated.  A  kindly 
appearing  elderly  man 
and  a  sweetly  appearing 
young  girl,  Hosea 
.stumbled  over  the  elder- 
ly man's  feet  and  sat, 
miserably,  unable  to 
keep  his  eyes  from  the 
delicately  cut  profile  of 
the  girl.  His  sister, 
Martha,  had  always 
formed  for  him  his 
standard  of  beauty  and 
sweetness.  She  still  did. 
Yet  he  did  not  look  at 
Martha  during  Church. 
He  was  able  to  keep  his 
eyes  away  from  Martha. 
He  didn't  ever  wish  he  . 
could  touch  the  hem  of 
Martha's  skirt  with  his 
...  his  lips.  \or  did 
he  envision  himself  as 
Sir  Walter  Raleigh 
spreading  1.  forth  his 
homespun  suit  for  Mar- 
tha's feet  to  tread  upon. 


The  summer  progressed. 
Hosea  and  Martha  felt  it 
to  be  a  summer  of  which 
each  day  was  scarlet- 
lettered

CLASSIC 


All  at  once  the  world  of  women  opened  wide  to  Hosea  and 
the  light  that  never  was  on  land  or  sea  caused  his  eyes  to  dance 
in  his  head  and  his  muscles  to  twitch  and  contract. 

The  girl,  on  her  part,  used  her  own  eyes.  She,  too,  found  it 
impossible  to  concentrate  on  the  ministerial  presence,  self-en- 
grossed and  certainly  pompous  as  that  presence  was.  Hosea  had 
a  clean  brown  sweep  of  cheek  and  chin,  and  long  slim  lines  of 
suggested  strength.  His  hair  grew  strongly  on  his  head  and  his 
eyes  were  bright  and  kind.  And  the  little  girl  beside  him,  too. 
How  clovery  and  sweet  she  seemed  to  be.  And  the  patient- 
faced,  capable-handed  woman.  It  was  all  very  comfortable 
and  .  .  .  and  different. 

Virginia  Rand  led  a  lonely  sort  of  life  in  the  city.  Her 
father,  the  doctor,  did  the  best  he  could  for  her,  but  the  best 
he  could  was  a  fashionable  boarding-school,  and  there  was  a 
strata  in  Virginia's  nature  belonging  as  much  to  the  Peaceful 
Valleys  of  the  world  as  to  the  smart  schools,  the  Avenue,  the 
hotels  at  tea  time.  She  felt  a  kinship  and,  more,  a:  yearning  for 
what  these  three  represented,  the  strong  young  man,  the  blos- 
somy  girl,  the  mother  of  these  twain. 

She  had  a  sense  of  humor,  too,  and  .she  noted  Ho.sea"s  dis- 
comfiture and  guessed,  not  without  pleasure,  what  was  the 
cause. 

She  gave  a  dollar  to  the  collection,  for  instance,  and  so  did 
he.  The  collector,  a  neighbor,  stared  at  Hosea  and  wheezily 
inquired  of  him  whether  or  no  he  would  have  any  change. 
At  Hosea's  red-faced  disclaimer  his  mother  leaned  over  him 
and  inquired  as  to  his  sanity  and  Martha's  pink  mouth  literally 
fell  agape. 

The  dog  came  in,  too,  and  Hosea's  embarrassment  was 
only  slfghtly  leavened  by  the  pleasure  he  felt  when  Vir- 
ginia leaned  over  and  made  the  animal  secure  between 
them.  Hosea  said,  "thank  you.  miss,"  shyly,  and  from  thai 
moment  the  world  became  one  woman,  forever  n'  ever,  amen.

World drews  returned.     In  the  car  he 

had  with  him  Dr.  Rand  and  the 
pretty  Virginia.  He  said  they 
liad  been  talking  over  a  project  of  buying  the  farm.  lie  did 
not  add  what  they  had  been  talking  about.  The  matter  of  tlie 
fact  was  that  .Andrew  had  told  the  doctor  he  believed  the  water 
on  Perpindicular  possessed  medicinal  qualities.  "We  could." 
he  told  the  physician,  "buy  up  the  place,  for  little  or  no  cost, 
I  believe.  A  sanitarium  on  a  small  scale  built  there  and  prop- 
erly advertised  would  coin  money.  It's  an  odd  location.  Good 
elevation  and  the  hoi  poUoi  alwavs  fall  for  the  spring  water 
stuff." 

Dr.  Rand  interpolated  :  "I  believe  you  said  there  'i.'as  ..." 
he  said. 

Andrews  cut  in  with  a  sharji  affirmative.  "Of  course,"  he 
said,  "there  is  medicinal  quality  to  that  water.  Nothing  ever 
tasted  like  that  unless  it  had  some  good  purpose,  however 
obscure.     I  tell  you,  it's  a  find." 

"We'll  look  into  it,"  the  ])hysician  said,  "as  you  say,  this 
location  has  advantages  .  .  .  golf  links  ...  all  that  sort  of 
thing  ,   .  .  quieting  for  tlie  neurasthenics  ..." 

Andrews  clicked  his  lips  on  a  swift  affirmative.  The  doctor 
did  not  notice  the  crafty  gleam  unpleasantly  lighting  the 
younger  man's  eyes.  Hy  such  slight  omissions  are  the  enormi- 
ties precipitated. 

The  summer  progressed.  Hosea  and  Martha  felt  it  to  be  a 
summer  of  which  each  day  was  scarlet-lettered.  The  farm 
had  never  been  so  difficult  and  yet,  Hosea  thought,  the  plow 
ran  the  more  smoothly  because,  in  the  evening,  he  could  don 
his  festive  .Sunday  black  ( no  longer  associated  merely  with 
the  seasonal  sermons)   and  go  over  to  Jothams,  there  to  sit

were  Hosea  and  Luke 
to  fill  in  .  .  .  Luke  be-

laughed  at  his  fears. 
"Girls  will  be  girls, 
Luke."  she  said,  com- 
fortably, "this  bit  of 
foolishness  will  make 
Martha  all  the  more 
content  to  tend  your 
home  when  she  comes 
to  it.  Martha  is  un- 
common commonsensi- 
cal." 

The  dear,  good  wo- 
man 'had  forgotten  the 
running  sap  of  May  ! 

Occasionally  Hosea 

or    Martha    would    see 

Ward   Andrews  and 

Virginia    in    Andrews' 

car.     The    pangs   they 

felt  thev  woidd   mutually  assuage.     "They're  stopping  at  the 

same  place,"  Hosea  assured  his  sister,  "it's  only  natural  he'd 

spin  her  about  a  I)it." 

It  stemed  uimatural  to  Martha,  but  she  didn't  say  .so. 
(  )n  one  such  occasion  Martha  and  Hosea  were  walking  to 
a  lily  ])ond  dear  to  their  chiUlhood.     The  t|uiet.  tree-rimmed 
place,  odorous  and  rank  with  the  lilies  and  the  lily-pads,  drew 
a  sif^h  from  Martha. 

"When  I  look  at  this."  she  said.  "I  can  understand  how 
folks  die  for  love.  IClaine,  you  know,  Hosey,  and  that  lady 
way  back  in  history.  Lucretia.  I  think,  who  stabbed  herself  .  .  .

Ilosea's  sturdy  normality 
rejected  at  once  the  morbid 
suggestion.  Instinct  told  him 
that  it  was  the  glimpse  they 
had  had  of  Ward  and  X'irginia 
in  the  niotor  ratlier  than  the 
lily  pond  that  had  given  his 
sister  her  sad  reverie.  Some- 
how when  he  thought  of 
Martha  he  lost  .some  of  his  ad-

"Way  Down  East"  and  other 
Current  Photoplays  in  Review 

By 
Frederick  James  Smith 


T( )    us    there    is    always    a 
tremendous   jiersonal   sig- 
nificauce  to  a  David  Wark 
Griffith   premiere.      It   is   as   if 
our    own     hoiies     and    dreams 
wavered  in   tlie  balance.      Just 
as  we  judge  his  prciductions  by 
a    standard   all    their   own,    we 
find    ourselves    consciously    or 
unconsciously  "rootinj;;"  for  this 
singular    leader    of    the    silent 
drama.     We  want  him  to  outdo 
himself.     We  want  him  to  plant 
the  standard   of   the  photoplay 
at  a  new  point  of  advance.     All 
this   because   we   know   he   de- 
serves a  big  reward.     First,  as  a  daring  and  fearless  film 
adventurer,   the   one   man   with   the   courage   to   pioneer. 
Second,   because   we  know   how   sincerely   he   loves  and 
lives  his   work.      .\n<l   third,   for  the  positive  genius   he 
possesses,  alcjug  with  the  limitations  every  genius  owns. 
This   personal    efpiation    may   or   may   not   cloud   our 
impressions  of  his  work.     For  instance,  we  would  like  to 
record  his  newest  super-production,  "Way  Down  East," 
as  a  cinema  triumph  marking  a  new   farthest  north  for 
the   photoplay.      Indeed,   "Way   Down   Fast"   is  a  com- 
mercial  success — and,   we  believe,   the  greatest   since  his 
epic,  "Tlie  Birth  of  a  Nation."     .Again,  he  has  acliieved 
a  thrill  more  stirring  than  anything  that  has  moved  across 
the  silversheet  since  that  electrical  ride  of  the  Ku  Klux 
clansmen.     .\n<l,  better  still,  he  has  sounded  a  deep  and

life — everything. 

Hut  one  of  the  reasons  that  she  gets  every- 
thing is  hei.-ause  she  isn't  afraid  to  give.  She 
isn't  afraid  of  the  world,  of  work  or  of  any* 
thing  on  land  or  sea  or  in  the  air. 

\\  hile  she  is  naturally  a  baby  doll,  with  the 
lure  of  a  vampire  and  the  heart  of  a  child,  she 
hates  to  be  perpetually  dressed  uj) — and  wor- 
rying about  her  looks.  She  is  not  really  a 
"prinker,"  for  in  her  there  is  still  a  great  deal 
of  the  primitive,  a  love  of  splashing  in  the 
ocean  and  running  about  without  the  shackles 
of  hairpins  and  hats. 

Dont  mistake  me,  she  doesn't  pamper  these 
desires ;  the  Viola  Dana  that  you  see  on  the 
screen,  beautifully  costumed,  pinkly  mani- 
cured, perfectly  groomed,  dainty  as  a  little 
rincess,  is  the  Viola  Dana  that  you  would  see 
teaing  at  the  Alexandria  Hotel,  dining  at  the 

ollywood  hotel  where  she  lives,  or  attending 
tlie  theater  or  swimming  at  Venice. 

But  those  who  know  her  best,  know  that  she 
gets  tired  of  always  being  dressed  u]i,  always 
on  parade.    The  Viola  Dana  that  I  like  best  of

lovely  creatures  animated  by  the  ambition 
of  the  busy  bee,  you  would  have  a  very  good 
iilea  of  what  N'iola  Dana  is  like.  But  Mi>s 
Dana  doesn't  exercise  her  (|ueenly  preroga- 
tive and  sit  commandingly  on  her  throne, 
~he  mingles  democratically  with  her  subjects 
and  does  her  share  of  the  work  and  a  bit 
more. 

"What  is  my  philosophy  of  life:"  re- 
pealed \'iola  Dana,  tossing  back  her  bobbed 
head  and  trying  to  look  very  serious  for  a 
moment. 

"Why,  just  to  live  and  to  work." 

And  she  does — live. 

I  know  very  few  !)eople  uho  get  the  real  zest  out  of  "life  that 
\'ii)la  Dana  doe^.  Somehow  or  other,  she  ha>  gained  happiness 
in  spite  of  trouble  at  an  age  «hen  most  girls  are  still  seeking, 
still  wondering  what  on  earth  they  Tiiid/  of  life. 

I  think  that  X'iola  Dana's  secret  is  that  she  lives  each  day  to 
the  very  fullest.  She  snalclK-s  every  bit  of  joy  and  fun  that 
she  can  out  of  each  hour.  She  doesn't  worry  over  what  is 
past,  nor  does  she  eagerly  dream  of  the  future.  She  lives  in 
the  present  and  tomorrow   can  take  care  of  itself. 

\'iola  has  always  been  made  the  baby  of  the  family  ,in(l— she 
admits  it — the  spoiled  baby.  If  she  couldn't  get  what  she 
wanted  one  way,  she  would  twist  and  turn  evtrvthing  abou\ 
until  she  did  find  a  way  of  getting  it.  and  somehow  or  other, 
this  is  as  it  should  be,  for  she  is  one  of  those  people  who,  want- 
ing and  getting  their  own  way.  are  big  enough  rut  to  be  hurt 
by  being  s[ioiled. 


Viola  Dana,  a  young  veteran  m 
pictures,  simply  loves  her  work. 
Her  green  eyes,  with  their  long, 
entangled  lashes,  sparkle  with  en- 
thusiasm whenever  she  contem- 
plates doing  something  new.  Just 
at  present  she  wants  drama,  and 
her  new  picture  will  be  "The  Twin 
Cinderella."  a  drama  after  her  own 
heart

I  could  tell  you  many  thinjjs  ahout  hi.r 
moods;  her  mo.st  omnipresent  one  is  a  coni- 
hination  of  [lep  and  jazz  and  giggles.  She 
is  never  bored,  because  -ihc  never  has  time 
to  he.  Often  she  makes  good  resolutions  to 
shut  lierself  alone  in  her  room  and  reail  - 
hut  that  is  as  far  as  it  goes — she's  too  afraid 
she  might  miss  some  fun,  so  out  she  trots, 
gaily  and  blithely,  to  "see  what's  going  on.'' 

Recently  her  fad  has  been  flying.  Miss 
Dana  was  taught  by  that  daredevil  of  the 
air,  Lieutenant  Locklear,  who  met  a  tragic 
death  recently.  She  manipulates  an  aero- 
plane as  ".safely"  as  a  man.  At  first  she 
refused  to  run  the  'plane,  being  content  "just" 
to  fly,  but  Locklear,  determined  that  she 
should  learn,  signaled  one  day  for  her  to 
take  the  helm.  (I  confess  my  ignorance  of  the 
specific  term. )  Viola — she  can  be  stubborn — 
just  shook  her  head  and  cuiUUed  her  small 
body  nicjrc  clo--cly  in  the  straps  of  the  'plane. 


Some  girls  there  arc  who 
can  only  be  themselves  in 
one  phase  of  life — Viola 
Dana  has  a  dual  peisonal- 
ity;  when  you  see  her 
daintily  gowned,  perfectly 
groomed,  you  think  of  her 
as  a  little  princess.  When 
you  see  her  in  her  bathing

"And  I  kncic  he  wouldn't 
take  hold,  so  it  was  up  to  me," 
recounts  Viola. 

Now  she  is  as  keen  about 
driving  an  aeroi)lane  as  we 
ordinary  mortals  are  about 
motoring. 

Viola,   a  young   veter.an   in 

pictures,     simply     loves     her 

work.     Her  green  eyes,  with 

their     long,     tangled     lashes, 

sparkle  with  enthusiasm  whenever  she  contemplates  doing 

something  ncu ,    Jiist  :it  present  she  is  sick  of  domg  comedy, 

(  she  is  a  fickle  little  lady,  as  variable  as  the  winds  in  her 

likes  and  dislikes).     She  wants  drama  .  .  .  her  new  picture 

will  be  "The  Twin   Cinderella."  a  (Irtiina. 

She  and  her  sister.  Shirley  Mason,  are  great  \idU  :  in  fact, 
she  is  a  great  />«/  to  anyone  who  is  fortunate  enough  to 
have  won  her  friendship. 

.She  believes  that  marriage  is  a  wonderful  existence.  She 
^ays  this  liecause  her  experience  was  so  wonderful.  L'p  until 
the  time  of  his  death,  she  and  her  bu.-band  worked  ttigether 
and  played  togetlnr.  Theirs  was  a  perfect  com|)anion.sbip. 
"He  spoiled  me  a>  if  1  were  a  child."  sai<l  X'iola  :  "he  ne\er 
seemed  able  to  realize  tlt.at  1  had  grown  up." 

And  no  wonder,  for  \'iola.  like  IVicr  Pan,  will  never 
grow  up.

The  Last  Act 


GlCXTl.l'l  RE.\DI'".K;  'I'l.is  is  the  last  nidiithly  luiiiDr  mil  which 
Ihc  Classic  will  puhlish  for  (lie  Fame  and  Fortune  Contest  of 
1920.  When  the  hiniiary  issue  of  this  magazine  reaches  yoitr 
hands,  you  will  gaze  uiioii  the  photographs  of  the  final  winners  of  this 
contest,  which  has  heen  unique  in  the  history  of  motion  pictures. 
The  anuouncemcnt  of  the  winners  will  he  accompanied  by  the  publi- 
cation of  the  final  honor  roll  members:  those  taking  part  in  the  film- 
ing of  the  test  scenes;  (jhotographs  of  the  world-famous  judges, 
and  other  items  of  universal  interest  to  all  who  have  been  followiii!.' 
the  contest,  and  to  the  participants. 

Not  only  were  the  editors  of  the  three  magazines,  i.e..  Tiik  Motion 
PiCTi'KK  Mac.azise,  The  Classic,  and  SiiAOoWLANn,  overwhelm- 
ingly surprised  by  the  stir  and  e.xcitement  which  the  contest  caused 
among  the  readers  of  these  publications,  but  they  were  exceedingly  . 
gratified  at  the  interest  shown  by  the  various  well-known  film  com- 
panies thruout  the  country.  These  companies  expressed  themseb  es  a^ 
desirous  of  signing  up  some  of  the  winners  on  long  term  contract^, 
and  of  assuring  the  cliosen  ones  of  future  screen  success  and  fame. 

(Jwing  to  this  new  ingredient,  and  because  of  the  fact  that  the 
contest  assumed  so  great  a  significance  all  over  the  country  among 
movie  fans,  and  particularly  among  our  readers,  the  Brewster 
Publications  have  decided  to  start  another  contest  immerliately, 
profiting  by  the  experience  of  this  one,  which  is  now  beitig  com- 
pleted, and  striving  to  make  the  new  one  as  nearly  perfect  as 
possible. 

This  is  the  first  official  announcement  of  the  new  l''ame  and 
Fortune  contest  which  will  be  conducted  by  the  three  magazines 
re])resenting  tlie  Brewster  Publications,  and  any  of  our  readers  or 
their  friends  may  enter  the  contest.  Photographs  may  be  sent  in 
without  delay,  and  the  first  honor  roll  of  the  new  contest  will 
a]>pcar  in  the  Janitary  issues  of  each  one  of  our  ])ul)hcations. 

One  of  the  most  important  features  in  connection  with  the  con- 
test of  the  i)ast  year  is  the  five-reel  feature  drama  entitled  "Love's 
Redemption,"  which  not  only  includes  the  I'ame  and  Fortune  con-

whidi  will  stand  apart  in  its  miiquc  story,  its 
cast  of  internationally  famous  cliaracters.  its 
photography  and  direction.  As  this  tilni-feature 
has  developed  into  surprising;  ])erfection,  another 
story  is  now  in  process  anfl  just  as  soon  as  the 
new  I'^anie  and  Fortune  Contest  gets  well  under 
way.  the  i)roduction  of  the  new  story  will  begin. 

"Love's  Redeni])ti<)n"  carries  the  h'anie  and 
Fortune  contest  winners,  the  scenes  in  which 
the  judges  make  their  final  choice,  and  also 
gives  the  chosen  ones  an  unusual  opportunity 
to  test  their  screen  ability.  This  has  now  been 
coni])Ictcd,  and  is  in  the  process  of  being  cut 
and  titled,  and  by  the  time  this  copy  of  the 
Cl.vssic  reaches  your  hands,  the  live-reel  feature 
drama  will  be  ready  for  the  exhibitors.  I  f 
)ou  have  been  at  all  interested  in  the  contest 
in  any  way,  you  will  be  able  to  see  this  film 
at  your  home  town  theater.  Tell  the  manager 
of  I  your  theater  about  it  and  he  will  be  able 
to  procure  it  for  you. 

The  contest  manager,  and  tlie  editorial  statif 
of  tlie  Brewster  I'ublications  have  worked  hard  ' 
and   late  on  the   final   outcome  of   the  contest, 
but  as  two-thirds  of  the  entries  came  jiouring

Dorothy  is  a 

lovable  girl  of 

many,  many 

friends. 
Unspoiled, 

eager   with   the 

rush    of    youth, 

expressing  her 

artistry  thru  the 

magic    of    her 

gay    little    feet ; 

she   has   danced

THEY  say  that  the  past  sniiiim-r  was  tlie  most  sizzlins; 
this  California  Coast  has  known,  but  thru  all  the 
very  wannest  weather  the  studios  and  stars  worked 
steadily  and  indefatigably.  Practically  every  member 
of  the' coast  colony,  however,  formed  a  habit  of  swim- 
ming, which  looks  as  if  it  might  continue  all  the  year 
'ri)u'nd.  Most  of  the  filtii  folk  jirefcr  to  take  their  daily

highly  colored  and  highly  priced  motor-cars  transporting 
our  celhdoid  queens  and  kings  to  Cry.stal  I'ier  when  the 
day's  work  is  done.  Viola  Dana,  Shirley  Mason  and  I  ila 
I.ce  arc  only  a  few  who  go  there  daily. 

Mary  Thurman.  however,  prefers  Long  P.each.  Cali- 
fornia. 1  watched  her  taking  her  swim  one  Sunday  re- 
cently, livery  man  on  the  beach  was  raving  about  her  as 
the  most  beautiful  woman  on  the  shore,  while  all  the  girls 
envied  her,  her  snappy  bathing  suit  and  her — er — well,

Gossip  of  the  Eastern 
Studios 


B^ 


I  ROADWAY  was  startled  on  September  first  by  a  tragic  ac- 
cident wliicb  resulted  in  the  deatli  of  Ho1)bie  Harron.  the  Grif- 
fith star.  Bobbie  \va  taking  a  dress  suit  from  a  trunk  in  liis 
room  at  the  Hotel  Seymour,  New  ^'ork,  when  the  trunk  cover 
fell  and  exploded  a  revolver  which  had  been  in  one  of  the  pockets. 
The  bullet  lodged  in  Harron's  left  chest.  Bobbie  was  removed 
to  Bellevne  Hospital,  where  he'lay  until  September  5  in  a  critical 
con<lition,  making  a  game  fight  for  life.  Loss  of  blood  was  too 
great,  however,  and  death  resulted. 

No  player  in  the  whole  motion  picture  world  was  better  beloved 
than  Bobbie.  He  was  a  modest,  charming  and  sincere  boy  whose 
hard  work  was  just  about  to  lead  to  great  things.  He  leaves  a 
place  which  will  be  very  hard  to 
fill.  The  tragic  death  was  a  partic- 
ularlv  hard  blow  to  David  W. 
Griffith,  for  the  producer  and  the 
voung  star  had  been  friends  and 
co-workers  for  years  and  were  like 
brothers. 

The  shooting,  of  course,  was 
wholly  accidental.  Harron  was 
taking  out  a  dress  .suit  in  pre])ara- 
tion  for  the  o|)rning  of  the  (iriffith 
production,  "Way  Down  East." 
The  trunk  had  not  been  o|)ene<l 
since  its  arrival  from  California, 
which  explains  the  loaded  revolver. 
Bobbie  had  carried  it  during  the 
ei)idcmic  of  robberies  and  hohl-ups 
in  California  last  Winter  and  had

The  Branded  Woman 

Fictionized  from  the  Norma  Talmadge  Photoplay 
By  DOROTHY  DONNELL 


MISS  Mil, BURN',  owner,  president,  and  social  sponsor 
of  Milburn  Hall,  the  most  select  boardinj^-scliool  on 
the  Hndson.  where  knowledfje  was  indeed  above  i)rice, 
or  ni  least  above  the  price  of  most  jieople,  surveyed  the  gather- 
insj  on  the  lawn  with  a  smile  that  wonld  have  been  complacent 
on  "less  learned  lijjs. 

■■graduation  Day  is.  with  me,  a  solemn  occasion."  she  intoned 
to  tlie  circle  of  relatives,  trustees  and  other  guests  gathered  in 
a  group  of  \\;hich  she  was  the  grey  satin-and-pearl  clad  nucleus, 
"when  I  think  of  the  young  minds  and  hearts  going  out  froiu 
this  cloister  of  learning  where  it  has  been  my  privilege  to  jiroted 
and    ])atlern    them — where   they   have   tlowtred,   if    I    may    say 


All  admiring  murmur  |ierniitted  her  to  say  so.  She  went  on 
in  guarded  and  resonant  phrases  whose  sonorous  intonation^ 
rolled  across  the  lawn  and  reached  the  imnch-l)owl  table  to  ibc 
nngodh   glee  of  several  of  the  flowered  and  their   friends. 

"Sophie's  blowing  lier  own  horn  again."  giggled  one  Huffy 
unregenerate.  "she's  a  great  ])erformer  at  that  kind  of  music, 
i  wonder  wdiy  someone  iloesn't  write  words  to  go  with  it  I" 

"Thank  Heaven  I've  heard  her  say  'young  ladies  strive  always 

ifiity-lhrcrl 


for  sweetness  and  light'  the  last  time !"  sighed  the  languid 
girl  whose  diamond  ring  and  bold,  bright  eyes  contradicted  the 
protestation  of  simplicity  of  her  frilled  organdie.  ".-\s  soon  a- 
I  get  to  town  I'm  going  to  have  a  permanent  wave  and  go  to 
see  'Under  Mary's  Bed'!  .Xnd  I'm  going  to  make  Mnllirr  buy 
nic  a  toil'  ni'ckcd  i/own  without  any  back  to  it " 

"My  -Aunt  is  going  to  let  me  come  out  in  the  fall."  confided 
another,  swinging  lier  expensively  engraved,  expensively  at- 
tained di])loma  disres])ectUilly  by  the  ribbon,  ''and  :\  ■■eiisoii 
at  Newport " 

Ruth  Sawyer  turned  her  wide,  slow  gaze  from  one  to  aiiotlier, 
then  her  dark  eyes  went  irresistibly  up  to  the  handsome  bov- 
face  at  her  side,  like  purple  pansy  blooms  lifted  to  the  sun 
She  was  one  of  the  few  of  the  girls  to  whom  the  unsophisli- 
catioii  of  white  organdie  and  sashes  seemed  to  belong  bv  divine 
right  of  youth  and  innocence.  Her  dark  hair  waved  softl\ 
back  from  a  low  white  foreheail  with  none  of  the  theatrical 
etTect  of  the  others.  The  sunlight  lay  on  a  pale,  clear  cheek 
untouched  with  rouge  or  powder.  The  rest  of  the  girU  were 
full  of  nervous  movemenl.  restless  gestures,  shrill  word'i.  bin 
Ruth  was  strangely  silent,  serene  ;imong  them. 


MOTION  PICTURE 


The  girl  colored  sweetly 
but  her  eyes,  meeting 
Billy  Bolton's  ardent  gaze, 
were  direct  and  candid  as 
a  child's.  Young  as  he 
was.  he  realized  that  she 
was  still  living  in  a  story- 
bookland.  half  reality, 
half  dreams,  a  Sleeping 
Princess  whom  he  would 
awaken 


"S  wcctlicart !"  wliispt-recl  a

l)ecn  enjjaired  a  wliolc  liour  and 
you  haven't  jjiven  nie  one  kiss 
yet !" 

The  (jirl  coloreil  sweetly  Init 
her  eyes,  nieetiuf;  Hilly  HoUon's 
ardent  ones,  were  direct  and  lan- 
<h<l  as  a  cliild's.  YotnifC  as  lie  \v;i<. 
he  reali/e<l  that  she  was  still  liviuf;  in  a  story-hook  land,  h.ill" 
realitv.  half  dreams,  a  Sleeping;  Princess  whom  he  could  awaken. 
They  strolled  a  little  apart  from  the  chatterinj;  groups,  hut 
Kiilli  listened  to  him  absently  an<l  when  he  drew  her  (k)wn 
beside  him  on  a  bench  he  saw  that  she  was  tremhlinj,'.  "I've 
been  so  happy  here."  she  (|uivered  with  lips  that  trembled 
cbildiNhly.  "I'm  afraid.  Hilly— afraid !  It's  like  steppini;  off 
soniethinj; — of  course  I'm  silly!  Hut  somehow  1  never  saw 
iK-yoiid  today." 

"Hut  if  vou  love  me.  tlearest."  the  hoy  flamed,  and  cauj;ht 
her  hands  awkwar<lly.  "everytbinfj  will  be  all  rij^ht  !  It  cant 
bel|>  beinj;!  .\s  soon  as  we  bear  from  your  motlier  we'll  b;- 
married.     .Anrl   we'll   live   with   the   Mater   for  a   while,  anl    I 

wont  let  any  harm  come  to  you — ever " 

Tbev  were  very  yotmj;.  pilcously  yoimji.  The  wise  old  oak 
who  listened  nnist  have  sighed  (,'ustily.  thinking;  of  the  love  words 
It  had  beard  since  its  acorn  days,  and  how  they  had  withered

Anil  almost  In-fore  these  had  been  uttered,  the  wind  which  bad 
been  jralberint;  for  sixteen  years  came  upon  KiUh  at  last  .mil 
the  frail  while  btid  of  her  i^irlhood  shriveled  nmler  il. 

The  i^roups  on  the  lawn  were  hardly  aware  of  the  limousine 
when  il  (irs(  rolled  up  the  curvinj;  drive,  despite  its  lavender

liMl  il  was  distindly  not  used  to  the  kind  of  woman  who  stepped 
out   of   this  one  now,  or  the   sort   of   man   who   followed  her. 


obviously  abashed,  and 
carrying  his  flashy  cane 
defiantly  to  cover  it. 
Tlie  woman  for  her 
part  made  no  pretenc  e 
of  disfjuise.  She  was 
ratlier  terrible  as  she 
rustled  up  the  walk  with 
her  gold-embroidered 
skirts  swishin;;  abou 
her  generously  display " 
ed  ankles,  her  plumes  • 
her  jewelry  ;  the  Iieavy  • 
exotic,  costly  scent  she 
diffused. 

Miss  Milburn  was. 
for  a  moment,  stricken 
speechless.  Xo  such 
emergency  had  faced 
her  during  many  staid, 
spotlessly  respectable 
years  of  |)rofiteering  in 
the  higher  education. 
The  woman  was  not 
even  doubtful.  Xo  one 
could  possibly  have  had 
a  doubt  about  her.  She 
gave  herself  away  in 
every  hard  glance,  in 
every  stereoty))ed  smile. 
.Mready  the  guests  and 
the  girls  were  whisjier- 

ing 

"Is  Miss  Ruth  Saw- 
yer here?"  the  vconian 
asked  loudly,  confront- 
ing the  (|uivcringly 
virtuous  preceptress. 
"I've  come   for  her.      I'm   licr   mother." 

The  jangling  tone  was  ])lainly  audible  all  ovev  the  lawn.  On 
the  far  bench  Ruth  rose  to  her  feet  uncert.ninly,  staring  with 
wide  eyes  of  horror,  as  one  who  looks  u]iun  some  nightmare 
thing.  .She  heard  Hilly's  ,gas]).  saw  the  rigid  scovn  of  the  others 
— and  with  her  dark  head  high,  .she  walked  across  the  grass  to 
that  impertinent  figure  and  held  out  her  hand.  "Here  1  am — 
mother,"  she  said  dearlv.  "how — how  do  you  do?" 

The  i)ainted  face  ojiposite  crinkled  into  haggard  mirth.  The 
woman  was  handsome  enough  in  her  outrageous  style,  hut  when 
she  smiled  she  was  almost  hideous.  Traitorously  tbe  expression 
betrayed  a  thousand  tiny  wrinkles  filled  with  caked  powder. 
".\in't  you  (|ueer  tho!"  .she  shrilled,  "ain't  seen  me  for  thirteen 
years  and  you  say  how  do  yon  do!  (jive  us  a  kiss,  cant 
you  !" 

The  girl  moved  like  an  automaton,  but  she  kissed  the  scarlet 
lips.  .A  burning  blush  drowned  her  jiallor.  She  turned  to  Miss 
Milburn.     "I   suppose — I   had  better  go.     You  have  been  very 

good  to  nie " 

N'irtue  spoke  in  an  acid  voice.  "I  un<lerstood  from  Alderman 
(irayson  that  your  mother  was  living  on  her  estate  in  Nice. 
I'erhaps  you  can  explain?" 

"!v\l)lain  nothing!"  the  newcomer  said  violently.  "I  guess 
my  money  was  as  good  as  anybody's!  It  !iapi)encd  to  sm't  me 
to  have  Ruth  here  educated  swell,  and  I'v.-  done  it.  and  kept 
my  hands  off  the  job.  Xow  it  ha\ipens  to  suit  me  to  take  her 
aw.iy  with  me  and  I'm  goi.v.g  to  do  it  too.  I  got  a  legal  right 
—  I  can  jirove  it  '." 

The  group  bud  moved  away,  leavin;,  the  ,grim  Miss  Milburn.

"Miss  Milbuni  will  send  my  thini,'s  on.  We  can  talk  about 
everything;  in  the  car." 

'i'lie  woman  turned  to  her  escort.  "The  nerve  of  some  peo- 
ple!" she  screamed.  "Did  you  hear  that  old  hold-up  artist? 
Seems  to  me,  "\"clvct"  Craft,  you  mijjht  show  a  little  pep  when 
your  lady- friend  is  insulted " 

"\'elvet"  Craft !  Some  of  tlie  men  guests — a  highly  resi)ected 
church  memher,  a  father  or  two.  the  most  ])ious  of 
the  trustees  showed  pitiful  confusion,  and  furtively 
sneaked  out  of  the  circle.  "\'elvet"  Craft,  the  manager 
of  the  most  fashionable  gambling  hell  in  the  city! 
Then  tliis  woman  must  be  his  partner.  Dot  Belmar, 
whose  e-xjiloils  were  featured  frecpiently  in  the  |)oIice 
gazette,  and  who  ]nir-sued  her  notorious  career  un- 
molested, due  to  a  certain  mysterious  "pidl"  in  the 
city  administration.  The  white-ruflled  girls  watched 
their  classmate  move  away  beside  the  shameful  ])lunics 
with  greedy  eyes  that  had  no  glint  of  pity  in  them. 
.•At  the  car.  Ruth  left  the  older  woman  to  luirry  up 
the  jiath  to  the  dormitory.  When  she  came  down 
stairs  a  moment  later,  with  her  hat  jammed  down  on 
her  lovely  dark  head  ruthlessly  witlmut  a  mirror's 
aid.  she  heard  her  name  spoken. 

"Ruth!"  Billy  Bolton  groaned.  "Ruth!  Tell  me 
it  isn't  so.  'I'ell  me  that  that — that  woman  isn't  your 
mother " 

The  girl  looked  at  him  steadily.  Me  saw  that  the 
child-li.ght  was  gone  furevermore  from  her  dark  eyes. 
"I  suppose  slie  is,  Billy."  s  e  answered  (|uietly,  "1 
have  not  seen  her  since  1  \vas  foiu'.  1  ihdn'l — re- 
member      But  now  I  know  why  I  was  fniid.     .So 

it's  gdod  good-bye.  Billy."    -She  held  out  her  hand. 

"RiUh — I  did  love  you—  "  that  cruel  ])ast  tense! 
"but — I  sup])0se  I'm  a  cad.  but  1  cant!  >ly  .Mater — 
that  woman — (jod!  It's  beastly!"  He  slithered  to 
the  bottom  ste]),  sobbing  wildly,  but  with  the  wisdom 
of  women,  slie  saw  that  his  tears  were  washing  away 
the  cause  of  them,  and  that  his  loss  would  not  matter 
to  him  long.  She  laid  her  hand  on  the  shining  head, 
as  tenclerly  and  understandingly  as  a  mother  might 
])at  her  little  sorry  child. 

"(iood-bye.  Boy  Dear."  she  said  again,  and  was 
gone.  -Vnd  he  heard  the  cough  of  the  motor  on  the 
driveway. 

Ruth  Sawyer  thought,  as  she  sat  hesi<le  the  voluable 
woman  whom  the  name  of  mother  fitted  as  incon- 
gruously as  her  dry,  brittle,  startlingly  youthful  hair, 
that  she  had  plumbed  the  depths  of  humiliation  an<l 
grief.  Waves  of  Parfaitc  d'Auioiir  stifled  Iter,  until 
she  felt  her  thoughts  whirling  dizzily,  with  Craft's 
weasel  face  bobbing  on  them  like  a  cork  on  waves. 
"There  is  nothing  worse,"  she  found  herself  saying 
over  and  over,  "there  couldn't  be " 

Two  hours  later  she  could  have  laughed  at  her 
abysmal  simplicity — did  laugh,  wildly,  without  reason, 
beating  with  small  fists  at  the  mirror  that  showed 
her  the  dreadful  thing  that  wore  her  face,  a  shameless 
woman-creature  with  naked  shoulders  in  a  gown  like 
suli)hurous  flames.  The  niaid  who  had  put  the  gown 
on  her  des])ite  her  struggles,  an  immense  .Amazon  with 
arms  like  steel,  brought  her  out  of  the  rising  tide  of 
hvsteria  by  pressing  down  on  her  thumb  nails  till  the 
cold  pain  recalled  her  to  herself. 

"That's  no  good,"  the  woman   said   Icvclly,  "they 
all    do   it — at   first.      But 
you'll  soon  get  used  to  it." 

Rutli  stared  at  her.  Then 
she  stood  (|uiet.  Strangely 
quiet.  She  did  not  sjieak 
at  all  during  the  moments 
that  followed,  when  she 
went  down  the  gilded 
staircase  into  the  drawing- 
rooms,    thru    which    wan- 


<lered  men  in  evening  clothes  and  women  with  jjainted  masks 
of  faces  that  smiled,  while  their  eyes,  unsmiling,  peere<l  from  be- 
hind their  masks.  .Music — music  that  twanged  on  the  bare  nerves 
and  set  them  (|uivering  filled  the  rooms  with  barbaric  sound, 
a  woman,  dressed  in  a  single  purple  veil,  danced — laughter, 
raucous,  unmodulated  .  .  .  .\nd  Dot  Belmar,  in  a  shameless 
gown,  moveil  among  her  guests,  stared  at  her  from  head  to 
foot  with  appraising  eyes. 


Standing  tnere  in  the 
sensuous  gown,  Ruth 
lifted  her  nun's  face  to 
the  man  whom  the 
papers  agreed  in  nam- 
ing the  most  corrupt 
and  powerful  politician 
in  the  city  —  and  told 
him  the  whole  story 
quite   simply

Somehow — Kuth  did  not  (|uite  know  how  it  came  -she  was 
alone  in  a  small  room  with  this  great,  gross  mass  that  peered 
at  her  under  bristling  yellow-white  browns  and  hreatheil  ster- 
torously.     •'("onie  here!"  he  growled  at  last.     I'eople  were  ac- 


customed to  obey  Hos->  \\  hillmk 
wIk-u  he  spoke  in  that  tone.  She 
came  trembling,  smiling  a  vague 

frightened  smile 

.\nd  then  slie  discovered  that 
lier  idea  of  the  Worst  th.it  fovdd 
llaiipen  had  been  wrong.  (Jiiile 
absurdly  wrong. 

It  was  a  small  thing  that  sa\cd 
her — the  catching  of  her  lower 
lij)  between  her  teeth.  Hut  r.urke 
\Vhitlock's  mother  had  had  the 
>ame  trick.  He  was  si.xty  years 
old  and  she  hail  been  dead  hfl>- 
live  of  them,  but  he  rememh;r(.d. 
lie  released  Kuth  and  ste|iped 
liackward,  nmttering.  "Why 
vou're  not  the  sort  the  Behnar 
,  woman  recruits,"  he  said  ])resem- 
Iv  in  vast  suqirise,  "they  light  -or 
swear,  or  laugh.  ^  ou're  different." 
Stan<Iing  there  in  the  sensuou> 
gown,  Kuth  lifted  her  nun's  far.- 
to  the  man  whom  the  papers 
.'igreed  in  naming  the  most  cor- 
rupt and  ])owerful  politician  in 
the  citv  and  told  him  the  whole 
story  ((uitc  simply,  tho  once  her 
clear  voice  caught  on  a  gasp  when 
she  told  of  the  coming  of  tin- 
mother  she  had  not  seen  since  she 
was  a  baby.  "  'c'd  so — I'm  here." 
^lie  ended,  auu  ....me  to  him 
swiftly,  and  touched  his  great 
hairy,  glilteringly  manicured 
paws.  "Init  you  wont  let  lirr  make 
nie  stay?  Oh,  I'm  so  glad  it  hap- 
pened to  be  you  and  not  one  of 

those  others "    It  was  not  arli- 

lice.  but  sheer,  clear  white  faith 
in  him,  and  his  will  to  save  her. 
Threats  had  never  'availed  wiili 
I'oss  Whitlock.  nor  vitu|)erati'in 
nor  argument,  but  here,  astonish- 
ingly, stood  one  who  believed  in 
him.  trusted  him  for  something 
tliat  he  did  not  have. 

"By  the  (ireat    Lord    llairv!" 
rasped   Boss   vVhitlock.  "I'll  take 
\ou  away  from  that  woman!    I'll 
—  I'll    ado])t    you — "    he    stared 
down  at  her.  small  eyes  watering 
with  sentiment.  "You're  the  Ke.d 
Thing  —  cddicated.   rayfined   an' 
I'm  just  a  low-life,  but  there  ain't 
any  harm  can  touch  you  if  Piiu'ke 
W"s  around !" 
Hereafter  Ruth  was  to  lind  out  the  truth  of  this,  his  boast. 
The  \veai)on  of  his  power  was  no  knightly  sword  blade  shielding 
her.  but  a  sledge  hammer  which  is.  after  all.  just  as  efficacious. 
.■\s  Whitlock's  ward,  she  had  a  position  of  secure  resjiect,  money, 
leisure  and  a  chance  to  forget,  if  forgetting  were  ])OSsible.     But 
the  one  evening  in  the  reil  salons  of  the  House  of  Lost  Jfo])es 
had  left  a  soul  hurt  that  was  long  in  healing.     .She  felt  a  sensi- 
tive horror  of  going  out  into  the  bright  siuishine  that  meant 

recognition 

.\t  the  end  of  tlie  year,  Hos^  Whitlock  retired  from  the  leader- 
ship of  his  ])arly  machine.  How  much  Kuth  had  to  do  with 
it  even  he  did  not  guess,  but  there  was  a  father-look  in  his  little, 
red-veined  eyes  as  he  showed  her  tlie  steamship  tickets  he  had 
bought  for  them.  "We'll  go  over  an'  hobnob  witli  the  toffs!" 
he  told  her  jocidarly,  "an'  maybe  we  can  fit  you  out  with  a 
title  if  we  can  find  one  reasonable."  The  tickets  were  dated 
for  the  next  day.  By  such  precipitate  guile  he  got  Ruth  safely 
away  without  hearing  of  the  long-deferred  judgment  that  had

known  as  juvenile  lead

MAKIK  MOSQUIXI  was  a  terrible  mistake.  I  tlKniK'lit. 
wlieii  I  lieard  it,  of  jazz  bands  and  jjoiipinfi;  corks,  of 
Jersey  lightning  and  New  Jersey  niostiuitos,  of  snaj)- 
piiijj,  black  eyes  and  daintily  embossed  profanity,  of  hvnteric 
bands  and  a  gay,  seductive  accent  —and  1  liastened  to  the  inter- 
view. 

Marie  slioukl  have  been  Priscdla.  and  a  pnriian.  Hnl.  ala.^, 
her  nicither  came  from  Bordeaux  and  iur  lailier  from  Milan; 
and  so  yon  must  be  content  with  Marie,  and  the  fact  iliat  she 
alnio.st   l)eeame  a  mm — but  not  i|nite. 

I-oni  let  me  prejudice  you.  She  is  charmin«;ly  fjentle,  and 
hers  is  not  the  innocence  thai  hcickens  isjnornoce  nor  the  virtue 
thai  suggests  smugness.  W  .ilching  her  on  the  screen,  where 
she  breaks  "Snub"  I'ollard's  heart  with  merciless  regularity, 
you'd  never  suspect  a  want  of  sophisticatinn. 

Hnl  if  only  1  had  been  a  c_\nic! 

I  should  have  taken  that  name.  .Marie  .\loM|nnii  ;  loyed  with 
it — politely,  of  course:  woven  a  delicate  .satire  about  it  and 
abunt  the  fresh  simplicity  of  the  girl  wlio  bore  it;  dissected 
it,  giving  each  detail  ils  measure  of  sweetened  iron)  :  and  finally 
1  should  iiave  solemnly  <leclare<l  it,  and  the  girl,  quile  impossible. 

But — I  say  it  with  a  sigh  —  I  am  not  a  cynic;  and  1  sat  thrn 
an  entire  noon  hour  of  a  hot  .\ngust  day  humbly  grateful 
that  il  was  1  who  was  giving  Marie  her  first  interview. 
.She  didn't  i|uitc  know  what  to  do  with  me,  nor  yet 
just  what  to  sav    but  she  managed  to  make  me

Interview 


feel  most  inconscionably  big  anil  impor- 
tant. ^'on've  often  read  the  expressiiJii 
in  the  i)apers  "epoch-making."  I  felt  like 
that. 

Marie's  history  isn't  history  at  all.  It 
is  pure  fantasy.  It  began  sixteen  years 
ago — she  was  four  years  old  then,  when 
she  entered  a  convent  situated  in  the 
paradoxical  environment  of  Hollywood. 
For  twelve  years  her  life  was  colored 
by  its  dim,  religious  light  and  then  .she 
left  it,  but  with  the  resolve  to  return 
within  the  year  and  become  a  nun ! 

Dame  Fate  is  a  great  humorist ;  and  poor 
Faith  is  too  often  her  butt.  She  guided 
Marie  to  the  office  of  the  Rolin  studio, 
introduced  her  to  Hal  Koach,  and  then, 
with  an  expectant  grin,  sat  back  to  enjoy 
her  handiwork. 

Her  anticii)ations  were  not  in  vain. 
Marie  started  as  a  stenographer  in  the 
studio  oftice  with  no  intention  or  desire 
to  establish  a  closer  connection  with  the 
screen;  but  the  date  she  had  set  for  her 
reiurn  to  the  convent  found  her  playing 
the  "vami)."  her  first  role, 
in  "Lonesome  Luke,"  one 
of  Harold  Lloyd's  dim  be- 
ginnings ! 

"I  didn't  care  for  it 
l)articularly   at   first," 
she  confessed.  "I  went 
right  back  to  my  short- 
hand and  stenog- 
raphy and  proba- 
bly   w-onld    have 
been   there   today 
but    for    Mr. 
Roach.   I  owe 
everything 
to  him." 


The  father  of  Marie 
Mosquini  came  from 
Milan,  and  her 
mother  from  Bor- 
deaux. Nevertheless, 
Marie  is  a  typical 
American  girl  with 
the  languor  of  the 
South    in   her    veins

WILLIS  GOLDBECK 


I  had  been  absorbing  the  details  of  her 
dressing-rooni.  our  council  chamber  on  the 
upper  floor  of  the  new  Rolin  studio.  Two 
Kewpie  dolls  in  saucy  dress  and  a  group 
of  jioly  pictures,  side  by  side  .  .  .  Robert 
Service  and  Maxtield  Parrish  .  ,  .  blue  cre- 
tonne and  a  riding  crop  ...  a  framed  quo- 
tation from  Omar  beside  a  portrait  of  Harold 
Lloyd  .  .  .     Marie  is  amazing. 

I  asked  that  she  tell  me  about  lierself — 
and  she  said  she  thought  I  was  the  ideal  type 
of  interviewer ! 

I  got  out  my  notebook  and  jotted  that 
down. 

And  because  I  enjoyed  her  pink  confusion 
when  I  asked  her  a  point-blank  question,  I 
demanded  to  know  her  philosophy  of  life. 
I  admit  it  was  orthodox. 

She  looked  startled  for  a  moment  and  her 
eyes  sought  counsel  of  ceiling,  walls,  and 
floor. 

"Well,"  she  said,  "I  think  that  everything 
that  happens  is  for  the  best — particularly 
Bebe  Daniels  who  is  my  one  and  only  girl 
friend." 

She  tendered  me  Bebe's  photograph.  A 
brief  inscription  testified  to  the  new  star's 
undying  fealty. 

Marie  is  of  a  composite  type,  with  distinct 
suggestions  of  Norma  Talmadge  and  Clarine 
Seymour.  Her  eyes  are  particularly  inter- 
esting ;  large,  and  when  they  are  not  dream- 
ing, brimful  of  mirth.  But  she  has  not  the 
fire  and  verve  that  one  might  expect  from 
such  a  parentage  as  hers.  To  the  casual 
acquaintance  she  is  an  American,  with  the 
languor  of  the  South  in  her  veins. 

Her  ambitions,  stirred  at  last  by  the  recog- 
nition which  is  coming  to  her,  are  beginning 
to  awaken.  Whether  her  wholesomeness  and 
sincerity  can  withstand  the  temptations  of 
egotism  and  adulation  remains  to  be  seen. 
I  for  one  do  not  doubt  the  outcome.  She 
has  been  in  the  studio  atmosphere  long 
enough  to  sejiarate  the  sheep  from  the  goats, 
the  sycophants   from  heljiful   friends. 

"Last  week  I  got  one  hundred  fan  let- 
ters," she  said  with  a  naive  pride.  "I  feel 
so  sorry  for  tliose 
[joor,  dear  people 
who  wrote  them, 
for  my  name  never 
appears  on  the 
screen  and  they 
had  to  address 
them  to  the  girl 
who  plays  ojiposite 
'Snub'  Pollard. 
But  I  a<lore  them 
for    their    trouble!

the  certainty  that 
she  would  return  to

The  wrong  and  the  right 
way  to  manicure 


CUTTING  tlic  cuticle  is  ruinous. 
When  yiiu  cut  the  cuticle  ynu  leave 
little  unprotected  places  all  around 
the  tender  nail  root.  These  become  rough, 
sore  and  ragged  ;  they  grow  vine\'enl)'  and 
cause  hangnails. 

You  should  soften  and  remove  surplus 
cuticle  without  cutting.  Just  apply  a  bit 
of  Cutex,  the  harmless  cuticle  remover,  to 
the  base  of  your  nails,  gently  pressing  back 
the  cuticle. 

The  moment  you  use  Cutex  you  realize 
how  exactly  it  is  wh.it  you  have  needed. 
It  does  away  with  all  need  for  cutting, 
leaves  a  firm,  smooth  line  at  the  base  of 
your  nails. 

First  file  your  nails.  Then  wrap  a  bit  of 
cotton  around  an  or.ange  .stick  (both  come 
in   the  Gutex  package),   dip  it   in  Cutex, 


and  work  around  the  b.-ise  of  the  nail, 
gently  pushing  back  the  cuticle.  Then 
wash  the  hands,  pressing  back  the  cuticle 
when  drying  them. 

For  snowy  white  nail  tips,  apply  a  little 
Cutex  Nail  White  underneath  the  nails. 
Finish  your  manicure  with  Cutex  Nail 
Polish. 

To  keep  the  cuticle  particularly  soft  and 
pliable  so  that  you  need  not  manicure  as  often, 
apply  a  little  Cutex  Cold  Cream  at  night  on 
retiring. 

Regularly,  once  oj  twice  each  week,  give 
vour  nails  a  Cutex  manicure,  ^'ou  will  never 
again  be  bothered  with  coarse,  overgrown  cuti- 
cle or  hangnails. 

Cutex  Cuticle  Remover,  Nail  White,  Nail 
Polish  and  Cold  Cream  come  in  35  cent  sizes. 
The  Cuticle  Remover  comes  also  in  65  cent 
size.  At  all  drug  and  department  stores  in  the 
United  States  and  Canada  and  at  all  chemists' 
shops  in   England.

Little  rules  that  help  you  look  your  best 


*^ 


Occasionally  you  meet  girls  who  are  beautiful  without  effort; 
but  most  lovely  people  are  lovely  because  they  know  the  rules. 
Here  are  a  few  simple  ones,  approved  by  skin  specialists, 
which  every  woman  would  do  well  to  follow. 


Never  permit  your  face 
to  look  ihiny 

Powder — Yes.  Just  enough  powder 
to  have  that  soft,  natural  look. 
And  when  you  powder,  do  it  to 
last. 

The  only  way  to  make  powder 
stay  on  is— >io/  to  put  on  an  ex- 
cessive amount — but  to  begin  with 
the  right  powder  base. 

For  this  you  need  a  cream  which 
will  not  reappear  in  an  unpleasant 
shine.     Pond's    Vanishing    Cream 
does  not  contain  a  bit  of  oil.    It 
disappears   at   once   never   to   re- 
appear.    Before  you  powder  take 
just    a    little    Pond's    Vanishing 
Cream— a  tiny  bit — on  your  finger 
tips.   Rub  it  lightly  into  your  face. 
Notice   the   instant   smoothness   it 
gives  your  skin.     Now  powder  as 
usual.    See  how  smoothly  the 
powder  goes  on — how  natural 
it  looks.   You  will  find  that  it 
will    stay    on    two    or    three 
times  as  long  as  ever  before. 
You  need  never  again  fear  a 
shinv  face. 


The  bedtime  cleansing  that  brings 

a  clear  skin.     Never  retire 

mthout  it 

One  of  the  chief  reasons  for  a  "muddy" 
look  in  the  skin  is  the  dust  that  gets 
lodged  deep  within  the  pores. 

The  only  means  of  keeping  the  skin 
clear  is  to  remove  deep-seated  dust.  For 
this  cleansing  you  need  an  entirely 
different  cream  from  the  one  you  use 
for  a  powder  base,  and  protection.  The 
right  cream  for  cleansing  is  one  prepared 
with  an  oil  base.  The  formula  for 
Pond's  Cold  Cream  '  was  especially 
worked  out  to  supply  just  the  amount  of 
oil  to  give  it  the  highest  cleansing  power. 
At  night  rub  Pond's  Cold  Cream  into 
the  pores  of  the  face,  neck  and  hands, 
and  wipe  it  off  with  a  soft  cloth.  Cleanse 
with  Pond's  Cold  Cream  regularly  and 
ynu  can  keep  your  skin  clear.

Catch  the  little  lines  before 
they  grow  deep 

By  starting  in  time  you  can  keep  your 
face  free  of  the  wretched  little  lines 
that  will  keep  starting.  For  this  too 
you  need  a  cream  with  an  oil  base,  a 
cream  that  will  work  into  the  skin 
gradually.  Pond's  Cold  Cream  has 
just  the  smoothnes  and  body  re- 
quired to  make  a  perfect  massage 
cream. 

Every  normal  skin  needs  both  of 
these  two  creams.  Neither  will  foster 
the  growth  of  hair.  Get  a  jar  or  tube 
of  each  cream  today  at  any  drug  or

Cold  Cream  ^

One  with  an  oil  base  and  one  without  any  oil 


A  rough  sl^in  a  sign  of  carelessness 

To  get  out  even  in  the  milder  weather  of 
winter  without  protecting  your  skin  is 
simply  reckless;  for  wind  and  cold  whip 
the  moisture  out  of  your  skin  and  cause 
roughness. 

Skin  specialists  say  you  can  protect  your 
skin  from  this  injury  by  applying,  before 
you  go  out,  a  cream  which  makes  up  for 
the  moisture  that  the  wind  whips  out.  For 
protection,  as  for  a  powder  base,  you  need 
a  cream  unlhout  oil.  The  same  pure,  grease- 
less  Pond's  Vanishing  Cream  which  you 
use  as  a  base  for  powder,  contains  an  ingre- 
dient famous  for  years  for  its  softening, 
protective  properties.  Always  before  going 
out.  smooth  a  little  Pond's  Vanishing  Cream 
into  your  face  and  hands.  In  this  way  the 
delicate  texture  of  the  skin  will  not  suffer 
from  exposure. 

Net)er  let  your  skiri  look  ^"'C<^ 

When  you  arc  tired,  yet  must  look 
your  best,  you  can  bring  your  skin 
new  freshness  by  applying  a  cream 
that  is  instantly  absorbed  by  the 
weary  skin.  The  instantly  disappear- 
ing qualities  of  Pond's  Vanishing 
Cream  give  it  a  remarkable  effective- 
ness in  bringing  immediate  freshness 
to  your  skin,  Just  a  bit  of  it  rubbed 
into  the  skin  relieves  in  a  moment 
the  strained  look  around  mouth  and 
eyes  and  brings  new  transparency  to 
your  complexion.

Burke  Whitlock.  noddinj;  over  a  two 
week's  old  .\'ew  \'ork  paper,  had  a  sudden 
himch.  He  had  had  them  heforc  in  his 
career — hadn't  he  !,'uesse<l  when  the  med- 
dlesome reform  fjanj;  were  jioinj;  to  raid 
Joe's?  .\nd  when  the  I)..\.  was  goinj;  to 
demand  something;?  He  |)ut  on  his  hat 
and  left  his  hotel,  calling  a  ta.xi  with  hor- 
rible mutilation  of  the  hVench  lanf,'U.\i,'c. 
.\t  the  corner  of  a  houlevard  some  dis- 
tance from  Ruth's  flat,  the  light  of  a  street 
lamp  fell  a  moment  on  the  face  of  a  inan 
hurrying  along  the  pavement.  Whitlock 
nuittere<l  an  oath.  "If  that  wasn't  "\'el- 
vet"  Craft  I'm  a  damned  mouseer!"  he 
muttered,  "looked  mad  too !  Something's 
happened.  Damn  it,  garsong !  (jettcz 
\oHs  a  move  on!     \'cete!" 

He  was  panting  from  the  three  flights 
when  he  flung  open  the  dodr  of  the  Covirt- 
enay  flat  atid  stepped  into  the  charming 
little  green-and-siiver  drawing-room 
l)o\iglas  Courlenay.  standing  hy  the  man- 
tel, head  on  clinched  hands  turned  at  the 
sound,  a  white,  drawn  young  face. 
"Hullo  1"  he  said  flatly,  "you're^you're 
a  hit  late  for  the  show  1"  and  he  laughed 
unpleasantly. 

"Show  I"  snarled  Whitlock.  His  heavy 
lips  drew  back  over  his  great  scpiare  teeth. 
I  )nce  more  he  was  the  fighting  animal. 
"What  d'you  mean,  show  ?  Where's

Ruth  is  in — her  room,"  the  younger 


The    Branded  Woman 

[Conliiuicd  fioi'i  f'(i;ii'  .^7) 

man  said  with  a  distinct  effort  to  speak 
(|uietly.  '"We  have  had  a  visitor.  When 
he  left — she  said  she  %vas  tired  .'\nd  was 
going  to  bed." 

"It  was  Craft  then!"  Whitlock  burst 
out  violently.  "I  ha<l  a  hunch  I  But  I 
diiln't  have  it  in  time.  What  <liil  he  tell 
you  ?" 

"ICverything."  said  Douglas  levelly.  "1 
im.igine  you  know  it  already.  Dinit  you  .' 
Ahoiu  Ruth's  mother?  .\nd — where  you 
found  her?" 

(  )ld  Whitlock  brought  his  fist  jarring 
d'lwii  on  a  fragile  I'rench  table  that  gave 
out  a  splintering  sound,  "^"es!  1  know 
that  you  find  the  wliitest  lilies  in  the 
dirtiest  swamjjs  !"  he  roared.  "That's  what 
1  found — a  white  lilv  !  If  he  said  anything 
else  he  lied  !" 

.\  flash  of  hope  lightene<l  the  heaviness 
of  his  look  a  moment,  then  died.  "But 
she's  paid  him  money — regularly.  She 
admits  it.  .And  she's  been  to  his  rooms 
with  it " 

The  two  men  stared  at  one  another. 
Whitlock  took  a  ste|)  forward,  shaking  a 
great,  freckled  fist  in  Courtenay's  face. 
"I  knowed  it!  I  knowed  you  warn't  a 
man  enough  to  stand  up  for  her!  You've 
lived  with  her  goin'  on  two  years  and 
still  you  dont  know  she's  the  Real  Thing! 
^'ou  believe  the  first  blackmailing  scala- 
wag that  comes  along  trying  to  dirty  her 
name.  Say!  You'd  ought  to  be  beaten 
and  I've  a  good  mind " 

"I've  been  a  fool !  "  Douglas  admitted. 
He  passed  a  hand  over  his  haggard  face,' 
"hut  it  was  like  a  bolt  out  of  the  sky.  1 
never  dreamed — you  can  see  it  might  have 
been  a  shock !  .And  then  she  was  so  quiet 
about  it  all — if  she'd  only  screamed,  only 
cried,  but  she  just  stood  still  and  looked 
from  one  to  the  other " 

".She's  a  thorobred!"  the  fild  man  said 
proudly.  ".She  woiddn't  scream  if  you 
killed  lier.  Dot  Belmar's  daughter?  Well, 
the  woman  said  she  had  proofs,  hut  I'm 
not  so  sure.  I've  got  detectives  working 
on  it  now.  I  never  knowed  a  ragweed 
to  bear  a  rose  myself." 

"I've  been  a  fool."  Ruth's  husband  said 
again.  gla<lly.  He  went  to  the  door  leading 
into  the  bedroom,  opened  it.  and  gave  an 
exclamation.  "Ruth!  Where  are  you? 
Ruth  darling!"  Suddenly  he  sprang  into 
the  inner  room.  'I'herc  was  the  sound  of 
overturned  furniture.  Slowly  he  appeared 
again  in  tlie  doorway,  "(ionc!  .She's  left 
a  note — says  she'll  never  see  baby  or  me 
again  to — bring  shame  to  us " 

He  staggered  and  tild  Boss  Whitlock 
caught  him  and  held  hiTO  while  the  awful 
sounds  of  a  man'--  difficult  sobbing  filleil 
the  room. 

.\  month  later  the  two  men,  with  a 
French  nin-se  carrying  the  baby,  stood 
on  the  forwar<l  deck  of  a  steamer  as  it 
nosed  its  way  up  the  familiar,  crowded 
harbor  to  its  Hohoken  berth.  'J"he  faces 
of  both  were  cut  with  fresh  lines  of  sleep- 
lessness and  worry,  but  \\  hitlock's  tone 
was  aggressively  cheery  as  tho  by  denv- 


ing  fear  he  could  avert  the  iiesd  for  it 
"We're  on  the  same  side  of  the  water  as 
Rinh,  anyhow,"  he  said,  "on'y  she  got  the 
boat  ahe.id.  There's  no  doubt  about  th;n. 
me  boy!  She's  been  here  a  matter  o'  ten 
days.  What  can  happen  to  her  in  ten' 
d.nys?" 

'AN'hat  cant  hap]ien?"  groaned  Com  i 
enay,  leaning  heavily  on  the  rail.  "A  lovilv 
thing  like  her — alone — frightcMTed  !    Cioil  ' 
.\nd  Craft  was  on  the  same  boat — in  tlu 
steerage.     I  dont  dare  to  think " 

"Then  (|uit  thinking!"  the  ol<l  politician 
snapped,  "we  wont  get  anywhere  by 
thinking.  It's  action  we  need.  First  otT 
I'm  going  to  see  whether  they've  forgot- 
ten Boss  Whitlock.  and  if  not.  we'll  have 
the  whole  police  force  and  half  the  town 
besides  looking  for  her!" 

Boss  Whitlock  was  not  forgotten.  .As 
he  had  boasted,  the  w-hole  machinerv  of 
the  city  was  set  in  motion  to  seek  kuth 
Courtenay.  but  for  a  whole  month  the 
search  was  unresultful.  Douglas  Courte- 
nay paced  his  hotel  room  haggardly,  old 
Whitlock  beside  him  uttering  bluff  words 
of  encour.igement. 

".She's  not  here — she's  nowhere,"  the 
husband  groaned.  "The  world's  so  big 
and  .she  was  .so  little.  Besides — perhaps 
— she  isn't  in  the  world." 

But  Whitlock  would  not  listen  to  that. 
".She's  no  (piitter."  he  said  stanchly.  "we'll 
be  finding  her  soon.     I  got -a  hunch." 

Two  days  later  a  detective  brought  them 
word  that  a  woman  answering  To  the  de- 
scription was  seen  to  enter  a  chop-suey 
joint  on  the  lower  East  Side,  but  when  he 
had  followed  her  into  the  place  she  was 
nowhere  to  be  found  and  the  blank-eve<l

"The  restaurant's  a  blind,"  the  man  told 
them  yawning,  "I  got  a  tip  a  .South  .Amer- 
ican named  Alvarez  hangs  out  there  and 
recruits  girls  for  Brazil.  Maybe  we'd  bet-

Courtenay  did  not  follow.  The  mirror 
over  the  fly-specked  cigar  case  had  shown 
him  a  sleek,  rat-colored  head  that  he  knew. 
In  six  strides  he  v\-as  standing,  looking 
down  into  the  paling  face  of  "X'elvel"

"Where  is  she?"  he  said  tensely.  His

keep  working  every  day  and  I  had  to  give

"l-'urious."  we  interrupted.  "It's  4:0r>. 
Two  more  hlocks  and  you'll  be  at  the

"After  that  I  worked  at  Thanhouser.

of  ])ictures  for  Arrow. — You  must  see 
them? — I'm  going  to  California  to  do 
several Pronii.se  you'll  see  tlieni?" 

"Yes,"  we  said  rashly.  "It's  4:08  and 
there's  yonr  station."

marked  to   our  gasping   self.      "Thanks 

awfully Hope    you've   got    enough

We  struggled  for  self-possession. 
"Dont  lose  that  package,  whatever  you 
do,"  we  begged. 

The  gate  closed  upon  our  interviewee. 

We  turned  and  staggered  into  the  sta- 
tion drug  store. 

"One  Bron — er — one  chocolate  soda." 
said  we  hoarsely.  From  sheer  force  of 
habit  we  looked  at  our  watch.  It  was

That  Swede  from  Ystad 

I.  Continued  from  paijc  26) 

Miss  NiiSSon  siniled.  .\  flashing  smile 
it  is,  for  she  is  dazzlingly  blonde,  some- 
thing the  motion  picture  camera  does  not 
always  reveal. 

Miss  Nilsson  has  just  finished  William 
Locke's  "Idols"  under  Raoul  Walsh's 
direction.  Ucfore  that,  she  was  in  .\llan 
Dwan's  "In  the  Heart  of  a  Fool."  .And 
"The  Fighting  Chance''  preceeded  "In 
the  Heart  of  a  Fool."  .\  company  all 
her  own  is  in  the  offing.  "I  hope  to  make 
my  own  |)ictures.  like  all  the  rest."  she 
says.  "But  I  never  count  on  things  until 
they  happen." 

Miss  Nilsson  indulges  in  no  superlat- 
ives about  herself.  Slie  is  not  one  of 
those  players  who  comment  loftily  u]ion 
art.    Indeed,  we  detect  a  sense  of  liunior. 

.\nd  a  regular  human  being-ness. 

Which  is  something  of  a  combination, 
coupled  witli  tlie   Xilsson  blonde  charm. 

Ystad  surely  has  a  right  to  be  rather 
proud.

two  years.  Not  a  very  lonj;  time,  but  she 
speaks  it  exceedingly  well,  only  stressing; 
lier  syllables  evenly  as  one  would  in 
b'rencb  and  bcin^  noticeably  careful  about 
her  diphtlioufjs.     .And  a^'ain  she  said  : 

"I  do  not  like  your  Rocky  Mountains. 
'I'bey  arc  beautiful,  yes;  but  so  lileak  and 
lonely  I  .After  you  Iiave  been  traveliii}j 
tliru  tlieni  for  two  or  three  days  you 
wanfto  cry.  But  it  is  not  so  of  the  moun- 
tains in  Switzerland.  They  are  yrand  avid 
majestic  and  they  are  not  so  lonely.  There 
•.are  villajjes  around  them  and  i)eoi)lc  ami 
,1,'reen  tbiujjs  j;rowinj,'  ...  C  )b  !  I  love 
.Switzerland!  1  ^u  there  as  much  as  jhjs- 
sible.  My  mother  is  there,  too ;  it  is  my 
home." 

l''lora  Kevalles  was  born  in  Switzer- 
land of  French  parents.  So  far  as  slie 
knows,  no  member  of  her  family  has  ever 
been  in  any  way  connected  witli  the  .stage. 
(  )n  the  contrary,  her  mother  was  very 
inudi  opinised  to  an  artistic  career  for 
Iter.  Her  father  was  a  well-known  civil 
engineer.  She  bad  two  brothers,  tho  only 
one   is  living, 

"I  sang  from  the  time  1  was  a  little 
girl,"  she  said.  "Even  then,  my  music 
was  my  life.  .\nd  I  would  want  jieople 
to  listen  ;  that  is  mucli.  thee  audience  !  So 
I  wanted  to  sing  grand  opera  on  the  stage." 

Remember  that  back  of  all  this  was  the 
indomitable  sjjirit  of  her  father  and  her 
consciousness  of  liim,  laying  tracks  for 
civibzation  in  .African  jungles,  suirounded 
by  an  alien  people,  wild  beasts  and  the 
ever-present  danger  of  some  strange  dis- 
ease. .Slie  i)aused  for  an  instant,  frankly 
waiting  for  me  to  say  .something. 

".And  then?"  I  jiromirted. 

".\nd  then,"  she  went  on.  "I  went  to 
Paris.  It  was  for  my  brotlier ;  to  visit 
him,  you  know.  I  decided  to  enter  the 
Conservatoire.  I  knew  that  if  1  could  do 
that,  my  mother  would  not  oppose  me  any 
longer.  She  would  realize  tliat  it  meant 
the  promise  of  a  good  career.  So  I  went 
to  a  teacher  and  told  liim  to  coach  nie  for 
the  examinations.  Hut  to  enter  the  Paris 
Conservatoire  is  not  an  easy  thing.  Tliere 
were  more  than  a  hundred  of  us  who  took 
the  examinations  and  only  fifteen  were 
chosen."  Becau.se  she  was  among  the 
fifteen,  her  mother  withdrew  all  objec- 
tions to  the  artistic  career. 

"I  think  that,  in  France,  one  works 
harder  preparing  for  the  stage  than  in  this 
country,"  she  went  on.  .And  tlien,  skip- 
])ing  the  intervening  period,  "1  still  bad 
one  year  to  study  wlien  the  war  broke 
out  in  1914,  the  Conservatoire  closed,  and 
I  returned  to  Switzerland."  For  a  while 
it  seemed  that  all  thought  of  a  career  must 
be  laid  aside  until  the  world  was  at  peace 
again,  but  she  kept  on  with  her  singing. 
She  could  hardly  have  done  anything  else  ; 
it  had  become  a  part  of  her  life. 

"One  day  I  was  singing  at  a  friend's 
house  in  Geneva.     The  manager  of  the

chestra  and  they  could  not  give  her  a 
single  rehearsal.  But' when  the  o])ening 
night  canie  she  sang  Marguerite,  and  so 
brilliantly  that  she  was  given  a  contract 
■vhich  she  afterwards  broke  to  join  the 
Ktissian  Ballet. 

".Mr.  I.eon  Bakst  gave  nie  two  days 
to  decide  about  joining  the  ballet.  I  ac- 
cejited  at  once  and  thouglit  a  little  about 
it  afterwards.  ()f  course,  it  meant  a 
law-suit  for  me.  1  had  to  i>ay  the  director 
of  the  opera  in  Geneva  some  few  francs, 
but  that  was  all  right." 

.She  feels  that  the  art  of  the  ballet  is 
the  highest,  most  jierfect  art  of  all. 

She  ap])eared  with  the  Russian  Ballet 
in  London  and  Paris  and  came  with  it  to 
Xew  York  on  a  tour  of  this  country. 
Frt>m  the  pantomime  of  the  ballet  to  the 
making  of  a  moving  picture  was  but  a 
step  and  a  -ste])  she  was  certain  to  take. 
She  a])pearcd  as  Mes.saline  in  the  Maurice 
Tounieur  [jroduction  "Woman." 

"That,"  slie  remarked,  laughing,  "v.  as 
because  M.  Tourneur  sai<l  that  he  did  not 
know  any  other  woman  wicked  enough 
for  the  part:  which  was  .  .  .  perhaps!' 
...  a  ciimpliment  .  .  ."  She  has  a 
French  woman's  ability  to  say  slightly 
startling  tilings  .so  that  you  feel  they  are 
without  meaning. 

"I  have  heard  that  people  are  often  dis- 
api)oinled  on  seeing  themselves  for  the 
first  time  on  the  screen.  Xow  I  ...  1 
was  sur])rised  that  I  should  look  so  well. 
I  did  not  know  that  I  was  so  .  .  .  what 
would  you  say?" 
"Beautiful  ?" 

"Ves,  that  is  it,"  her  voice  was  throaty 
with  amusement.  There  is,  of  conr>e, 
nothing  of  the  ingenue  about  her. 

"But  then  1  am  not  ])etite  nor  blonde." 
.she  remarked,  implying  that  she  could 
easily  |)lav  the  ingenue  if  she  thought  tha- 
it  would  be  becoming;  and  undoubteilly 
she  could  ! 

She  walks  with  a  peculiar  lithe  grace 
and  her  hands  are  beautiful  and  exjiressive 
bevnnd  descri])lion.  The  occult  has  a  very 
powerful  attraclioii  for  her.  but  she  has 
never  had  any  personal  experience  in 
siiiritualism. 

"But  I  believe  in  the  existence  of  the 
spirit  after  what  one  calls  <leath  and  in 
the  iiossibility  of  communication.  It  is 
just  a  conviction  1  have  .  .  .  something 
1  cannot  explain  .  .  ."  She  is  also  a  b;'- 
licver  in  the  thetiry  of  reincarnation. 

".So.  it  is  veree  interesting;  this  moving 
I>icture  'Farthbound,'  but  when  it  is  fin- 
ished. 1  shall  not  apjiear  in  another  mov- 
ing i)icture  right  away;  I  shall  go.  I  think 
to  I.oikUju  and  take  u])  my  work  again." 
She  walked  with  me  to  the  door,  ll 
was  a  warm  ...  an  almost  ojijiressively 
warm  .  .  .  night  in  late  December.  There

"Aye,  Aye,  Sir!" 

(Conlimtcd  from  page  33) 

acting  of  the  year,  and  what  was  the  re- 
siih,  so  far  as  I'ornian  could  see!"  One 
fan  who  hy  sonic  chance  had  not  for- 
gotten liini,  wrote,  "Oh,  yon  mustn't  take 
parts  hkc  that,  showing  your  face  all 
scarred  and  ugly." 

Later  on.  when  he  did  a  coujile  of 
jiretty-boy  )iarts,  ("which,  heaven  knows, 
I've  outgrown,"  says  Tom),  several  new 
fans  wr(Jte  him  and  said,  "There,  that's 
tlie  kind  of  i>art  v. e  like  to  see  you  take." 

Is  it  strange,  then,  that  Forman  was 
tilled  with  a  disgust  at  pictures?  A  dis- 
gust which  was  notliing  more  nor  less 
than  a  natural  revulsion  after  all  he  had 
gone  thru:  to  come  down  to  playing 
jiastel  movie  men  who  had  nothing  more 
dit'ticult  to  do  than  to  look  handsome  and 
stride  from  room  to  room  to  win  back 
Iiis  fickle  following. 

It  seemed  unendurable  discouraging, 
but  the  salary  was  attractive  and  better 
than  could  be  made  in  anything  else. 

,\nd  then  Mr.  Lasky  came  to  the  res- 
cue with  an  ofTer  for  him  to  direct,  and 
Tom  iMjrman  is  bringing  all  the  jiatience 
and  big.  wonderful  manhood  that  came 
to  liim  out  there  in  the  training  camp  to 
the  building  of  pictures,  and  he  is  hapjiily 
working  in  a  comfortable  brown  sack 
suit,  and  he  doesn't  wear  silk  shirts  aJl 
the  time  and  he  isn't  worrying  if  his  nice, 
rather  wavy  light  hair  isn't  brushed 
sleekly  from  his  temples,  for  he  is  again 
useful,  again   giving  orders. 

When  you  first  meet  Tom  I'orman  and 
hear  his  slow  drawl,  you  are  apt  to  think 
he  possesses  that  Texas  laziness,  but  as 
you  know  him  better  you  realize  that  this 
is  but  a  facial  calm,  a  surface  lethargy. 

He  wants  to  make  good  ])ictures,  ])ic- 
tures  that  are  logical  and  feature  human 
types ;  he  doesn't  want  any  sex  stuff  and 
he  doesn't  object  to  melodrama,  provid- 
ing it  is  honest  melodrama.  He  is  bring- 
ing to  the  screen  a  certain  wholesome- 
iiess,  a  big  viewpoint,  an  easy-going-get- 
there  method  that  has  something  in  it  of 
nature's  slow  but  sure  method  of  creat- 
ing, antl  his  (me  great,  absorbing  ambi- 
tion is  to  hunt  tiger  in  Siberia,  and,  when 
he  is  old.  to  retire  to  his  ranch  some  thirty 
miles  from   ilollywood. 

He  loves  hunting  and  fi.shing,  dogs  and 
babies,  and  he  says  he  would  like  nothing 
belter  than  to  dream  away  his  life  by  a 
trout  stream,  and  somehow,  I  can  see 
a  vision  of  Tom  I'ornian.  when  be  is  old, 
sitting  by  an  oi)en  fire])lace  in  his  ranch- 
house,  with  bis  arms  fidl  of  grandliabies 
and  his  old  dogs  snuggling  at  liis  feet, 
and  I  can  hear  him  drawl  out  the  story 
of  liovv  he  made  men  for  the  great  war 
and  there  will  never  be  a  mention  of 
"When  I  was  a  great  screen  actor." 

For  Forman  is.  first  of  all,  a  whole- 
some man  who  discounts  momentary 
comi)liments  and  comi)Ietely  lacks  a 
swelled  head. 

.Above  everything  el.se,  Tom  Forman 
is  a  comfortable  man,  and  we  may  expect 
real  stuff  to  come  from  his  direction  in 
TfcWres,  the  same  as  it  did  in  the  great 
war.

Enter  Julio! 


(Continued  from  page  19) 

"I  doiil  mean  iulelligcncc,"  he  said,  "I 
mean  human  intellectnality,  possessing; 
wliich  the  artist  becomes  mure  hnman  than 
the  ordinary  mortal ;  not  more  tempestu- 
ons   (temper-estuousj." 

He  has  been  here  six  years,  liaving  im- 
migrated as  a  scientific  agriculturist,  bul 
because  of  his  ignorance  of  the  language, 
he  was  forced  to  work  at  wliat  did  not  re- 
quire a  vocabulary.  He  was  lonesome 
when  he  first  came.  He  did  not  know 
anyone.  He  would  go  from  restaurant  to 
restaurant,  finally  becoming  acquainted 
with  two  Austrians  who  spoke  Italian. 
They  met  every  night ;  and  he  was  in- 
troduced to  their  fair  companions ;  and 
be  wished  he  knew  how  to  dance.  One 
day  they  went  for  a  holiday  to  the  Bronx 
Zoo.  Outside  the  monkey  bouse,  one 
of  the  officers  started  to  tango.  Young 
Rudolph  was  fascinated,  and  begged  to 
learn  the  steps.  He  was  given  an  imme- 
diate lesson,  and  that  evening,  back  in  the 
cafe,  on  the  floor  Bonnie  Glass  ( Ben 
AH  Haggin's  wife)  spied  him,  and  want- 
ed him  for  her  professional  dancing 
partner. 

For  two  years  he  went  hungry  (it  is 
his  word )  for  someone  with  whom  he 
could  talk,  until  one  night,  while  perform- 
ing in  Philadelphia,  with  Joan  Sawyer, 
be  met  after  the  party,  John  Fox,  Jr.  Thev 
talked— until  5  A.M.  ]\Ir.  Fox  asked  Val- 
entino his  age.  When  be  learnt  it  was 
only  twenty-two  he  was  astounded !  He 
sent  "The  Little  Shepherd  of  Ivingdom 
Come"  to  the  boy-f(n"eigner  and  auto- 
graphed the  preface  with  "H  you  use  your 
head  as  Well  as  your  feet,  you  soon  will 
not  have  to  use  your  feet."  And  Valen- 
tino never  forgot ! 

He  must  have  used  his  feet  well,  for 
Nijinsky  asked  him  to  give  him  a  les- 
son in  the  tango — this  from  the  premier 
danseur  of  the  Bohm-Diaghileft'  Russian 
Ballet! 

You'll  see  him  dance  the  tango  in  "The 
Four  Horsemen  of  the  Apocalypse"  in 
which  Metro  production  be  was  allotted 
no  less  a  role  than  Julio. 

"I  did  not  want  to  be  labeled  a  pro- 
fessional dancer.  That  is  why  I  gave  it 
up.  I  was  not  a  dancer,  anyway.  Nijinsky 
is  a  dancer.  In  what  I  was  doing  I  had 
nothing  to  express." 

Altbo  be  has  made  extraordinary  prog- 
ress, having  played  opposite  Mae  Mur- 
ray, Dorothy  Gish,  Carmel  IMycrs,  Mad- 
ame Namara  and  with  Eugene  O'Brien, 
be  does  not  want  to  stay  here  forever : 
nor  does  be  desire  to  settle  back  home. 
His  longing  is  to  go  to  .South  America. 
China,  Japan.  Egypt  and  India,  and  to  get 
to  know  those  places. 

Those  who  impress  him  most  on  the 
screen  are  Barrymorc,  Ferguson,  Tal- 
madge,  and  Nazimova. 

He  is  anxious  to  meet  Ibaiiez  and  hear 
the  author's  opinion  of  his  interpreta- 
tion of  "The  Four  Horsemen's"  hero.  "I 
was  never  so  happy  over  any  part  before. 
I  love  it."  Not  a  libertine,  not  a  coward : 
just  a  boy  with  failings,  hopes,  humanncss.

$18?!  Per  Year 

Serves  Quaker  Oats  each  morning  to  a  family  of  five 

QiiakiT  Oats,  the  food  of  foods,  costs  one  cent  per  large  dish.     Tlic  price  of 
one  chop  serves  12  dishes. 

Five  dishes  dailv  cost  $18.25  a  year,  while  just  fi\e  eggs  a  day  would  cost 
you  $82. 

Quaker   Oats  supplies    1,810   calories   of   nutriment   per   pound.      That's   the 
encrgii'  measure  of  food  value.     Round  steak  jiclds  less  than  half  that. 

A   boy  needs  2,000  calories  per   day.     They   would  cost   13c  in   Quaker   Oats,   in   eggs 
about  $1.30. 

These  costs  mean  little  in   a  day.     But   note  what  they  mean   on   a  year  of  breakfasts 
for  a  family  of  rive. 


Cost  per  year  for  serving  five,  based  on  this

MOTION    PICTURE    CLASSIC 

The  Rise  of  Beatrice 

(Co)ilimiri!  front  page  25) 

It  was  her  first  taste  of  "real  direction." 

llcr  shyness  stood  her  in  good  stead 
when  she  was  seeking  for  something  else. 
It  was  with  more  of  a  forlorn  hope  than 
anght  else  that  she  went  to  see  Mr.  Ince. 
When  after  a  two  hours'  wait  she  finally 
reached  the  lair  of  the  great  man,  she 
fomid  that  there  were  five  other  great 
men  there  too,  all  of  whom  began  to  stare 
at  her  intensely. 

"It  was  perfectly  awful,"  declare — er — 
confided  Beatrice,  rather  breathless  at  the 
remembrance.  "I  just  begged  them  not 
to  look  at  me,  and  finally  Mr.  Ince  made 
them  all  face  the  wall  while  he  talked  to 
me.  Once  DouglaG  Macl.ean,  who  was 
one  of  the  five,  turned  aroimd  and  hissed: 
'Just  the  girl  for  me,'  or  something  like 
that.  I  didn't  hear  him.  They  told  me 
afterward  that  I  was  busy  untangling  my 
fingers  just  then. 

"There  are  only  two  things  I  remember 
clearly.  One  is  Mr.  luce's  constantly  re- 
peated question,  'But  why  didn't  you  come 
to  see  me  before?'  It  seems  to  me  that 
that  was  all  he  said. 

"The  other  is  the  question  of  Douglas 
MacLean.  After  they  had  all  filed  solemn- 
ly otit  to  decide  whether  they  wanted  me 
or  not  and  then  filed  back  again,  he  came 
over  beside  me  and  said,  'We  want  you. 
May  I  look  at  you  now?' 

"I  answered :  'I  guess  so ;  but  look 
quick !'  " 

She  sighed. 

"I  dont  guess  I  can  tell  you  any  more," 
she  said  softly. 

I  was  loaih  to  go.  I  hadn't  decided 
her  in  my  mind  yet.  It  seemed  to  me 
that  she  was  unique  in  a  profession  where 
so]ihistication  has  become  a  dogma.  I  was 
fascinated. 

I  loitered,  and  in  loitering  discovered 
that  for  seven  years  she  had  studied  under 
Madame  Rasciie,  ballerina  of  the  Metro- 
jiolitan  Ojiera  House  .  .  .  the  secret  of 
iier  undulant  grace. 

I  had  to  go,  but  I  went  lingeringly.  A 
great  artist  ...  a  little  girl  .  .  .  ?  The 
(|uestion  rectirred  in  my  mind  thruout 
the  day ;  and  the  phrase  "soft  eyes  and 
a  sigh." 


COMPENS.\TION 

By  Charlotte  Becker 

When   T  was  twenty  I  felt,  oh,  so  old. 

Each  passiuf;  pleasure  found  rae  more 

blase: 

Life  was  as  tasteless  as  a  tale  oft  told, 

.'\nd  there  was  nothing  new  to  do  or 

say. 

Now   I  am  forty,   I   feel,  oh.  so  young, 

liacli  day  I  find  amusing  things  to  do, 

And  life  seems  like  a  fragrant  garland 

flung 

For  me  to  savor  each  fresh  scent  and 

hue. 

I    wouldn't  he  as  old  as  youth  again 
If   time   consented    to   turn   back   the 
years ; 
I    want   to   stay  as   young  as   a.ge,   and 
drain 
Life's     utmost     treasure,     even     unto 
tears!

Keep  the  Luster 

on  your  teeth — there's  now  a  way 


Acts  in  five  ways 

Pepsodent  multiplies  the  starch  di- 
gestant  in  the  saliva,  to  digest  starch 
deposits  that  cling.  It  multiplies  the 
alkalinity  of  the  saliva,  to  neutralize 
the  acids  which  cause  tooth  decay. 

Two  factors  directly  attack  the  film. 
One  of  them  keeps  teeth  so  highly 
polished  that  film  cannot  easily  adhere. 
Pepsin  is  another  ingredient. 

The  object  is  to  combat  film  daily, 
also  its  baneful  effects.  And  to  multi- 
ply the  natural  tooth  protectors. 

You'll  see  and  feel 

You'll  see  and  feel  these  good  effects 
and  quickly  know  that  Pepsodent  is 
doing  what  nothing  else  has  done. 

Send  the  coupon  for  the  10-Day 
Tube.  Note  how  clean  the  teeth  feel 
after  using.  Mark  the  absence  of  the 
viscous  film.  See  how  teeth  whiten  as 
the  film-coat  disappears.  Let  the. clear 
results  show  what  this  method  means 
to  you  and  yours.

You  knov/  how  teeth  shine  —  how 
clean  they  feel — after  vigorous  dental 
cleaning.  He  removes  the  film  which 
makes  teeth  dingy. 

There  is  now  a  way  to  every  day 
combat  that  film.  Millions  enjoy  its 
benefits.  And  a  ten-day  test  will  be 
sent  you  for  the  asking. 

The  film  does  this: 

Film  is  that  viscous  coat  you  feel. 
It  clings  to  teeth,  enters  crevices  and 
stays.  The  tooth  brush  used  in  old 
ways  leaves  much  of  it  intact.  And 
millions  of  teeth  are  wrecked  by  it. 

It  is  the  film-coat  that  discolors,  not 
the  teeth.  Film  is  the  basis  of  tartar. 
It  holds  food  substance  which  fer- 
ments and  forms  acid.     It  holds  the 


acid  in  contact  with  the  teeth  to  cause 
decay. 

Germs  breed  by  millions  in  it.  And 
they,  with  tartar,  are  the  chief  cause 
of  pyorrhea. 

You  must  combat  it 

To  save  teeth  and  to  keep  them 
white  one  must  combat  that  film.  Den- 
tal science  has  for  years  been  seeking 
ways  to  do  it. 

Now  efficient  methods  have  been 
found.  Careful  tests  have  proved  them 
beyond  question.  And  leading  den- 
tists everywhere  are  urging  their  daily 
use. 

The  methods  are  combined  in  a 
dentifrice  called  Pepsodent.  And  de- 
sired results  are  now  attained  twice 
daily  by  its  use. 


Millions  of  teeth  now 
glisten 

Millions  already  use  Pepsodent.  large- 
ly by  dental  advice.  The  results  are 
seen  everywhere  in  cleaner,  whiter 
teeth.  See  them  on  your  own  teeth 
and  judge  their  good  effects.  Cut  out

The  River  Shannon's  Namesake 

{Continued  from  page  37) 

has  signed  her  up  for  his  forthcoming 
fe.-itiire,  in  which  she  plays  a  married 
Hilt. 

"And  when  my  ]iictures  iiit  New  York 
— oh,  goodie !"  .She  drew  a  dee]>,  ec- 
static breath.  "I  want  the  people  who 
knew  me  to  say,  'Well,  maybe  after  all 
she  will  make  good!'  People  were  so 
skeptical !"  she  ended  plaintively. 

Sometimes,  she  admits,  she  gets  hor- 
ribly lonesome  for  the  "Follies,"  the 
grease-paint,  the  gorgeous  costumes  and 
the  cliattcr  of  the  girls.  Novelists,  she 
confided,  have  the  wrong  idea  of  "chorus 
girls."  They  ]iiclure  "stage-door  John- 
nies" forever  hanging  about,  sending 
notes  and  flowers — oh.  there  zucrc  lots  of 
llnwers  sent,  she  added,  but  no  notes; 
that  was  an  iron-clad  rule  set  by  Zieg- 
feld  himself.  If  your  admirer  wanted 
to  get  into  communication  with  you,  he 
had  to  write  a  letter  and  trust  it  to  Uncle 
Sam. 

"Mr.  Ziegfeld  hates  the  movies  be- 
cause they  take  so  many  of  his  girls 
away,"  she  went  on.  "Once,  when  I 
knew  some  picture  people  from  Califor- 
nia were  out  in  front,  I  Ijegged  him  to 
let  me  lead  the  feature  song  that  evening 
so  that  tliey  would  notice  me." 

"Notice  you  and  steal  you  for  the 
movies,  eh?  he  had  demanded,  and, 
refused  point-blank  to  allow  such  a 
thing. 

Shannon  looks  like  a  great  many  dif- 
ferent people;  certain  of  her  pictures 
look  more  like  Mabel  Normand  than 
Mabel's  own  photographs  do ;  her  profile 
is  like  Mae  Murray's  and  some  of  her 
expressions  remind  one  of  Jack  Pick- 
ford.  This  Protean  resemblance  is  excel- 
lent for  publicity  purposes,  but  Shannon 
doesn't  like  it. 

"I  want  to  reach  the  point  where  I  will 
look  just  myself,  and  nobody  else,"  she 
declared.  Anyone  would  be  sympathetic 
with  Shannon.  There  is  a  naivete  about 
her  that  is  captivating  and  disarming.  It 
may  be  real  or  it  may  be  cultivated. 
Who  cares  ? 

Of  course,  Shannon  has  lots  of  hob- 
bies— she  rides  horseback,  and  admits  a 
fondness  for  historical  romances.  .\nd 
as  for  dancing 

"I  keep  in  practice  all  the  time.  I  dont 
ever  expect  to  go  on  t^ie  stage  again,  but 
1  might  need  the  work  in  ]iicturcs,  and 
besides,  it's  wonderful  for  the  physifiue. 

"In  the  'Follie.s'  I  did  lots  of  specialty 
dances  and,  in  one  of  them,  I  was  tossed 
.-ilioul  the  stage  like  a  bean-bag.  When  I 
came  out  here,  'Fatty'  .Arbuckle  sent  for 
nic,  .saying  I  was  the  kind  of  girl  he'd 
Mke  to  have  play  opjiosite  him  in  come- 
dies, because  he  could  do  anything  with 
me — but  I  wouldn't  take  a  chance — 
would  you  ?" 

I  assured  her  most  emphatically  that  I 
would — not!  And  after  carefully  sur- 
veying Shannon  Day's  [letite  prettiness, 
1  was  liearlily  sjlad  that  llie  rotund  Kos- 
coc  liad  not  made  a  bean-bag  of  her.  I'm 
afraid  that  the  river  Sbamion  would 
have  lost  its  namesake.

it  looks  as  tho  the  best  I  can  do  is 
forty  a  week?  I  think  it  would  be  much 
Letter  for  me  to  drop  it  all  and  go  to 
tOn^ress." 

••\\hv  dont  you  drop  it  all  and  go  to 
the  Wliite  House?"  Neill  asked,  sarcas- 
tically.   "It  would  be  about  as  easy. 
lUit  his  roommate  was  in  earnest. 
"No,"  he  said,  seriously.  "I'm  gomg  to 
('(ingress!"  , 

\nd  he  did  !  He  left  the  company  and 
went  to  San  Francisco,  where,  wuh  his 
brothers,  he  opened  a  hat  store.  After- 
wards, he  became  an  attorney,  was  sent 
to  the  legislature  a  few  times,  and  then 
went  to  Congress  from  an  Irish  district 
because  the  leaders  of  that  district  had  a 
row  between  themselves. 

\nd  again.  Neill.  on  his  first  visit  to 
the  coasf,  was  with  the  "Held  by  the 
Enemy"  company  which  included  in  its 
cast  such  famous  people  as  Henry  Miller. 
X'iola  Allen,  William  Gillette,  Melbourne 
MacDowell  and  George  Fawcett.^ 

However,  it  w^as  not  until  NciU  had 
completely  served  his  apprenticeship 
audw-as  the  successful  manager  of  his 
own  company  that  he  met  Edytlie  Chap- 
man. 

The  Neill  Company  was  playing  St. 
Paul  when  the  engagement  of  Henrietta 
Crosman,  as  leading  lady,  terminated, 
and  it  became  necessary  to  replace  her 
with  someone  else. 

"I  was  sent  to  Mr.  Xeill  by  an  agency, 
said    Edythe   Chapman.      "This   was    in 
1897,"  .she  w-ent  on,  "and  I  have  never 
had  to  look  for  an  engagement  since." 

Unlike  her  husband,  Edythe  Chapman 
was  given  a  leading  part  in  her  first  en- 
gagement, and  has  never  played  anything 
else. 

"Until,"  she  said,  "we  both  grew  too 
old  for  leading  parts.  Having  our  own 
company,  we  were  able  to  be  always 
together." 

Many  players,  now  famous,  were  at 
(litTereiit  times  members  of  the  Neill 
Company,  h'.lsie  Janis  spoke  her  first 
lines  inm  their  stage.  Henrietta  Cros- 
man has  already  been  mentioned  as  being 
with  the  comiKiny  in  its  early  days.  Julia 
.\rthur,  lUanche  Hates,  Julia  Dean,  and 
Reginald  I'.arker  are  others. 

"I  had  very  few  'early  struggles,'  " 
ICdythe  Chapman  went  on,  "and  those  I 
had  were  all  in  getting  started." 

She  attended  Tlie  Lyceum  School  of 
Acting.  Franklin  H.  Sargent  was  the 
head  then,  as  now.  Henry  C.  de  Mille, 
famous  iilaywrighl,  and  father  of  C.  V,. 
and  Williain  de  Mille.  David  Belasco 
and  Nelson  Wliealcroft  were  members 
of  the  faculty.  .\l  that  time  Belasco 
was  a  teacher  in  the  school  at  a  very 
small  salary. 

".\t  the  end  of  my  first  year,'  said 
Miss  Chapman,  "I  found  myself  witliout 
money,  and,  worse,  it  seemed  without 
any  encouragement  to  continue.  iMank- 
lin  Sargent  advised  me  not  to  go  on.  He 
said  that  he  did  not  think  I  had  talent

Whose  Smiles  are  These? 


A  Mcrving  Picture  Star 
Must  Have  Good  Teeth 

A  CLOSE   UP   of  a   smile  shows   once   or 
twice  in  nearly  every  reel.      No  wonder 
a  star  must  have  good  teeth. 

Look  at  these  smiles,  and  see  if  you  recognize 
them.  They  are  the  smile-photographs  of  familiar 
favorites,  who  know  the  charm  that  comes  from 
the  white   flash   of  wholesome,   well-kept  teeth. 

Send  your  guess  on  the  coupon  below.     If 

you  get  one  of  the  three  right  we  will  mail

Colgate's  is  a  safe  dentifrice.  It  cleans  thor- 
oughly, polishing  the  teeth  to  natural  white- 
ness. It  makes  no  claims  to  "cure"  abnormal

teeth  in  the  best  possible  condition.  Use 
Colgate's  and  protect  your  smile.  It  has  a

MOTION    PICTURE    CLASSIC 

The  Twentietli  Marriage 

{Continued  from  page  80) 

ennitgli  to  c\er  do  anything  worth  while 
in  the  theater.  But  I  was  to  be  given 
some  encouragement  after  all.  David 
Relasco  asked  me  if  I  inteniled  coming 
hack  the  following  year.  I  said  that  I 
couldn't.  IVly  money  liad  given  out  and 
I  had  no  talent,  anyhow. 

"  'But  you  Imvc  talent,'  he  told  me. 
i'ni  so  sure  of  it  that,  if  I  sell  the  play 
I'm  writing,  I'll  see  you  thru  and  you 
can  ]iav  mc  when  )'ou  are  a  leading 
lady.'  "■ 

The  play  was  "The  Charity  Ball,"  on 
which  he  was  collaborating  with  Henry 
C.  de  Mille.  Needless  to  say,  he  sold  it, 
but  an  unexpected  stroke  of  good  for- 
tune for  "lidy,"  as  her  friends  call  her, 
made  it  unnecessary  for  her  to  accept 
his  offer.  A  distant  relative  died  and 
left  her  six  hundred  dollars.  So,  she 
went  back  to  the  school  and,  graduating 
sccon;l  best  in  her  class,  played  the  part  of 
Clytemneslra  in  Sophocles'  "Electra." 
This  was  followed  by  her  first  profes- 
sional engagement,  which  was  for  the 
leading  part  in  "The  Charity  Ball." 

The  Neill  home  is  a  sort  of  Mecca  for 
the  entire  profession.  They  live  very 
simply  in  a  pretty  bungalow  of  their  own 
in  Glendale.  Their  lot  is  100  feet  wide 
by  175  feet  deep,  and  on  it  they  grow 
oranges,  lemons,  grapefruit  and  even 
dates.  Like  nearly  every  one  else  in 
Glendale,  a  suburb  where  no  one  is  either 
rich  or  poor,  they  have  an  automobile. 
but  they  do  not  keep  any  servants,  and 
fine  glance  at  their  faces  would  be  enough 
t"  tell  you  of  their  contentment. 

It  is  said  that  only  one  marriage  out  of 
twenty  is  really  happy.  If  this  is  so, 
then  the  Neills  have  made  the  twentieth 
marriage. 

Since  coming  to  the  screen  the  Neills 
have  made  a  number  of  pictures  togetiier. 
James  Neill  was  with  Famous  Players- 
Lasky  for  five  and  a  half  years,  starting 
with  them  in  the  second  picture  ever 
made  by  that  company.  Mis  first  picture 
was  made  for  Universal,  and  from  there 
he  went  to  Kalem,  where  he  directed  Car- 
lyle  Pilackvvell  for  a  while.  It  was  some 
time  before  Edythe  Chapman  decided  to 
go  on  the  screen,  and  then  she  did  not 
sign  any  contract  until  she  and  her  hus- 
band both  joined  Goldwyn,  where  they 
are  at  this  writing. 


IN  THE   POST  OFFICE 
By  TiiELM.\  Stillson 

So  many  little  doors  are  here,  each  with 

its  little  key; 
So  many  eager  eyes  that  watch  to  catch 

the  gleam  of  white; 
So    many    hands    that    flutter    in    gay 

exi)ectancy, 
.'\nd      tear     the     seals     asunder     with 
tremulous   delight. 

So  many  letters  come  to  me  in  writing 

coarse   and   fine. 
In     big    and     little     envelopes,     white, 

yellow,  grey  and  blue; 
And  i  would  give  them  all  away  to  hold 

one  careless  line 
In    funny,    ragged   characters,   scrawled 

hastily  by  you.

gather,  they  appeared  in  three  different 
places  in  one  evening,  something  quite 
unheard  of  on  the  stage.  Dancing  at  ten 
o'clock  in  one  place,  at  half-past  ten  in 
another  production,  and  at  midnight  ap- 
pearing on  the  Century  Roof,  where  hy 
the  way,  Florenz  Ziegfield  had  previous- 
ly managed  Miss  Dickson,  advertising 
her  as  "the  greatest  dancing  personality 
in  the  world." 

She  has  only  been  on  the  stage  for 
three  years.  Previous  to  that,  she  lived 
the  usual  popular  debutante's  life  in 
Cliicago.  Her  father,  just  before  she  was 
to  have  had  her  coming-out  party,  made 
some  unfortunate  investments  in  stocks, 
and  Dorothy  awoke  one  day  to  find  that 
when  she  wanted  anything,  she  could  not 
have  it.  Nothing  daunted,  she  deter- 
mined to  make  her  own  money  and  this 
is  the  way  she  went  about  it.  She  and 
Carl  Hyson,  a  boyhood  friend  who  was 
in  college  at  the  time,  had  danced  together 
very  often  at  parties,  and  had  always 
caused  great  enthusiasm  and  admiration 
because  of  their  skill.  One  night  they 
decided  to  take  up  a  bet  made  by  some 
friends  of  theirs  concerning  a  dancing 
prize  at  Rector's  It  happened  that  on 
this  particular  evening,  they  had  as  their 
competitors,  Maurice  and  Walton,  (the 
famous  dancing  pair  known  all  over 
the  world],  and  two  other  professional 
couples  who  had  become  household  names 
in  Chicago  because  of  their  dancing  abil- 
ity. All  of  Dorothy's  friends  were  pres- 
ent and  there  was  much  excitement  when 
she  and  Carl  started  to  dance.  They  re- 
ceived an  ovation  at  the  conclusion  which 
caused  the  manager  of  the  place  to  offer 
them  a  contract ;  and  Dorothy  accepted. 

It  was  while  Dorothy  and  Carl  were 
still  dancing  at  Rector's  (which  they  did 
for  about  six  months  after  the  above  Iiap- 
pened)  that  Florenz  Zieglield,  the  well- 
known  connoisseur  on  feminine  beauty 
ha]jpened  to  be  in  Chicago  and  while  at 
Rector's  one  evening  saw  Dorothj'  dance. 
1  le  immediately  offered  her  a  contract, 
and  brought  her  to  New  York  where  he 
starred  her  in  a  play  at  the  Century  The- 
ater. She  made  a  tremendous  success  in 
New  York,  and  from  tlien  on  has  ap- 
])eared  with  increasing  popnlarit)'  in  vari- 
ous Broadway  successes.  This  season  she 
has  been  featured  in  "Lassie,"  one  of  the 
most  popular  plays  on  the  rialto,  and 
has  ju.st  left  that  company  for  a  well- 
earned  vacation  before  starting  work 
with  Famous  Players. 

"I  know  what  a  tremendous  risk  I  am 
taking."  .she  said,  a])ropos  of  its  being 
her  first  venture  in  jiictures,  "but  even  if 
I  do  fail.  I  will  at  least  have  assured  my- 
self that  I  took  the  cliance.  I  realize  what 
a  Iiuge  task  I  have  set  myself  to  do;  very 
few  people  know  anything  about  me  out- 
side of  the  big  cities,  and  it  is  the  movie 
fan  that  makes  the  movie  star,  I  think. 
But  perhaps  if  this  picture  turns  out  to 
my  credit,  there  will  be  a  few  people  who 
will  sec  it,  and  I  hope  to  build  up  my

Thelma  F. — Greetings!  How  are  you  this 
nice  fresh,  snappy  morning?  Thank  you.  You 
think  I  am  a  darling,  and  not  an  old  man. 
Wont  you  let  me  be  both?  Write  direct  to 
Bill  Hart  for  his  picture. 

Hf.nrv  C. — The  story  of  "The  Sagebrusher" 
has  never  been  flctionized  in  the  Classic. 

Wan  da  H  awlev  Adm  irer. — Why  should 
they  be  prohibited?  Tsuru  Aoki  was  born  in 
Japan.  September  9.  1892.  She  has  been  on 
tlie  stage  since  she  was  eight  years  old.  She 
is  five  foot  one.  weighs  120,  and  has  black  hair 
and  eyes. 

Little  Rock,  Ark.  Fan. — Did  you  think  I 
was  M.  S.  Cheatham?  Oh!  You  can  reach 
Ralph  Graves  at  Metro,  1476  Broadway,  New 
York  City.  The  Lee  children  have  been  play- 
ing in  vaudeville  all  summer  in  and  about  New 
York  City.    He  seems  to  be  drifting. 

RoRERT. — Good  morning.  Bob!  Write  Grace 
Cunard.  Los  Angeles.  Cal.  Why  House  Peters 
is  playing  in  "The  Great  Redeemer"  for  Metro. 

Just  Me. — Just  you!  And  you  want  me  to 
tell  Harrison  Ford  that  you  love  him  so  much. 
Will  you  girls  never  get  any  sense?  You  may 
admire,  but  not  adore.  Man's  mind  is  marble, 
woman's  mind  is  wax ;  and  the  one  is  no  better 
than  t'other.     Hope  you  have  a  boii  z'oyagc. 

Olive  B. — Oh,  is  that  so?  You  think  it 
would  be  mighty  interesting  if  I  married  Con- 
stance Talmadge.  I  agree  with  you  absolutely. 
See  if  you  cant  fix  it  up  for  me.  Dolores  Cas- 
sinelli  is  playing  in  "The  Hidden  Light."  Joe 
Moore  and  Eileen  Sedgwick  are  playing  in 
"Love's  Battle"  to  be  released  by  the  Climax 
Film  Corp. 

H.  E.  C. — Thanks,  old  man.  Keep  the  check. 
Write  me  any  time  you  feel  like  it.  You  sure 
have  some  sense  of  humor. 

FiTz  &  Startz. — So  you  dont  agree  with  me. 
Isn't  that  strange!  I  expect  that  I  am  in  the 
small  minority  with  most  of  my  opinions,  still 
I  am  rather  proud  of  that.  The  man  who  fears 
to  take  his  stand  alone,  but  follows  where  the 
greatest  number  tread  should  hasten  to  his  rest 
lieneath  the  stone — the  great  majority  of  men 
are  dead.    No.  not  me. 

Irene  H. — And  why  are  you  so  scared  of 
me?  I  dont  bite.  Even  tho  I  am  caged  in  my 
hall  room,  with  iron  doors,  and  my  big  watch 
dog  along  side  of  me.  Oh  yes.  T  "have  a  new 
dog — a  Russian  wolfhound.  William  Conklin 
in  "The  Haunted  Bedroom."  Jack  Crosby  in 
"A  Daughter  of  Two  Worlds."  Come  in  again. 

Miss  Atlanta. — Alice  Joyce  Admirer,  H. 
A.  E. ;  Roscoe;  L.  Mc ;  Nellie  S. — Your  let- 
ters were  very  interesting,  but  require  no 
separate  answers. 

Thelma. — Of  course  it  is  much  cheaper  to 
subscribe;  why  dont  you? 

Broihe. — Mizpah  means  "The  Lord  watch  be- 
tween thee  and  me  when  we  are  absent  one 
from  the  other."  Why  that  was  E-lmo  Lincoln 
and  Enid  Markey  in  "Tarzan  of  the  Apes." 
Oh,  I  dont  mind  working  this  kind  of  weather, 
but  when  the  old  thermometer  gets  up  around 
98  and  100  degrees — I'm  thru! 

H.  H.  H. — Well,  there  ain't  no  use.  An  affin- 
ity  is  a   high   priced  luxury  since  the  cost   is 


alimony.  Frank  Mayo  in  "Black  Friday."  You 
mean  Ethel  Shannon  in  "John  Petticoats." 
Come  on. 

Wanda  Hawlev. — So  you  think  my  answers 
are  snappy.     How? 

Jl-st  Me.— You  here  again?  And  so  soon. 
I  certainly  do  not  own  an  automobile.  I  had  a 
Ford  once,  but  I  got  tired  of  dodging  other 
cars  and  people  on  the  street  and  so  I  sold  it. 
.\ulomobiles  kill  more  people  nowadays  than 
all  the  other  nuisances  put  together.  The 
automobile  is  the  modern  Juggernaut. 
Brownie  Vernon  in  "The  Coming  of  the  Law." 
Harrison  Ford  in  "The  Veiled  Adventure." 
Yes,  we  have  the  October  Magazine  w^ith  Con- 
stance Talmadge's  picture  on  the  cover. 

Singer  B. — John  Barrymore  says  he  is  going 
to  remain  in  pictures,  j'ack  Holt  is  playing  in 
"The  City  Sparrow." 

Runv. — ^'ou  are  all  wTong  about  Eugene 
O'Brien.  He  is  a  dandy  chap,  and  I  like  him. 
You  can  reach  Mahlon  Hamilton  at  Hampton 
Studios,  Hollywood.  Cal. 

Kitty.— Good  for  you.  You  can  reach  ^'iolet 
Mersereau  at  the  Apthorp  Hotel,  94th  St.  & 
Broadway.  New  York  City.  You  say  you  want 
more  of  Ruth  Roland.  So  do  we.  She  is  too 
busy  to  think  of  us  these  days.  You  will  have 
to  write  a  separate  letter  to  the  Magazine  about 
those  pictures.  You  should  never  write  to  a 
publisher  and  take  up  matters  pertaining  to 
several  departments  in  the  same  letter. 

Cleopatra. — It  was  Bernard  Palissy,  born  in 
Agen,  France,  1510,  who  was  the  first  to  redis- 
cover the  art  of  producing  white  enamel.  He 
was  the  leader  of  ceramic  art  in  the  16th  cen- 
tury, and  his  life  is  characterized  as  "the  great 
romance"  in  the  history  of  ceramics.  Your 
letter  was  indeed  interesting,  and  I  hope  you 
write  to  me  again. 

MicKEV  T.— The  Dolly  Sisters  are  still  on 
tlie  stage. 

E.  L.  M. — Thanks  for  your  verse.    I  wish  I 
could  print  it. 
_  Lucu.LE. — CiiUen  Landis  in  "Girl  from  Out- 
side." 

H.  G. — You're  not  the  only  one.  I  have  sad 
news  to  relate  also.  On  May  1st.  next  I  must 
vacate  my  hall  room  which  I  have  now  occu- 
pied for  nearly  ten  years,  and  seek  new  quar- 
ters. If  the  editor-in-chief  decides  to  raise  my 
salary  before  then,  I  shall  perhaps  be  able  to 
have  a  real  square  room  with  two  windows  and 
a  closet.  Wont  that  be  grand!  May  1st  is 
generally  called  moving  day.  but  next  year  the 
great  moving  day  will  be  March  4th. 

BucciK. — Why,  there  is  no  reason  whatever 
why  a  Roman  Catholic  may  not  become  Presi- 
dent of  the  U.  S..  altho  a  Catholic  was  never 
nominated  for  the  Presidential  Office.  Yes, 
Vivian  Martin  is  married.  She  is  playing  in 
"The  Song  of  the  Soul"  adapted  from  the 
William  J.  Locke  story  "An  Old  World  Ro- 
mance." The  picture  was  edited  by  Robert  W. 
Chambers.  Carol  Dempster  in  "The  Love 
Flower,"  one  of  Griffith's  poor  pictures.  Yes, 
we  think  Carol  is  a  real  comer.  She  showed 
a  remarkable  advance  in  "The  Love  Flower."

fine  luiinan  note  in  fully  a  half  dozen 
])laces— a  human  note  that  reaches  out 
aiul  plays  upon  your  heart-strings. 

"Wav  Down  East,"  as  written  by  T.ottic 
Rlair  Parker,  was  one  of  those  perennial- 
ly popular  stage  melodramas.  This  story 
of  an  innocent  country  girl,  .-Vnna  Moore, 
who  goes  to  the  city,  is  wronged  by  a 
villainous  city  chap,  becomes  a  mother 
after  a  mock  marriage,  seeks  regenera- 
ticju  in  work  uixm  a  farm,  is  ex])Osed 
by  gossips  and  turned  out  into  a  blind- 
ing New  England  blizzard,  only  to  be 
sa\e(l  by  an  honest  young  country  boy 
who  loves  her  despite  everything,  was 
seemingly  an  obvious  thing  of  the  hokum 
theater.  Ajiparently,  it  bore  no  real  re- 
lation to  life  anywhere. 

We  see  the  "Way  Down  East"  of 
the  stage  <lifferently.  The  old  melodrama 
wciuld  not  have  gone  on  year  after  year 
had  it  been  entirely  distinct  from  reality. 
Its  background  of  homely  New  England 
life  gave  it  the  breath  of  life.  With  all 
its  painted  scenery  and  torn  paper  snow- 
it  was  redolent  of  the  soil.  But,  most 
of  all,  it  carried  a  message.  It  presented 
the  struggle  of  woman  for  equality  in 
its  way  as  vividly,  as  centuries  before, 
Euripides  did  in  his  Medea.  To  the 
simple  playgoer  of  the  nineties,  Anna 
Moore  personified  womanhood  in  its  age- 
old  .struggle  for  recognition — against  the 
man-made  odds  of  decades.  Not  that  we 
consider  "Way  Down  East"  for  a  mo- 
ment as  a  thing  of  literary  or  dramatic 
\alue.  It  was  a  melodrama  of  fear- 
ful dialog  and  even  more  fearful  con- 
struction. But  a  compelling  message 
and  a  compelling  background  were 
there. 

The  sawdust  and  the  wires  become  flesh 
and  blood  when  transferred  to  the  screen 
under  (iriffith's  hand,  the  canvas  trees  and 
calcium-lights  transform  to  vast  sweeps 
of  landsca]ie  alive  with  summer  smishine, 
the  lorn  ])aper  to  a  bleak  an<l  whirling 
winter  blizzard.  "Way  Down  Ea.st" 
gains  vastly  u])on  its  transfer  from  stage 
to  Idni  form,  fijr  the  director  endows  his 
characters  with  a  humanness  they  never 
possessed  behind  the  footlights. 

Griffith  has  taken  his  motion  picture 
camera  into  the  history  of  the  persecuted 
Anna.  The  P.arker  opus  started  ui)on  the 
arrival  of  the  girl  with  her  "past"  at  the 
Harllett  farm.  Criffilh  moves  back  into 
.Anna's  girlhood  and,  step  by  step,  shows 
her  dazzled  and  destroying  dip  into  the 
city  and  her  disillusionment,  along  with 
tlie  coming  of  her  baby  and  its  death. 
This  portion  of  the  cinema  "Way  Down 
Ea^t"  to  us  is  turgid  and  rather  uninter- 
esting, which  seems  to  prove  our  theory 
that  the  stage  "Way  Down  East"  owes 
its  success  to  its  homely  rural  background 
and  the  vitalness  of  its  indirect — and  even 
claptrai) — feministic  single  standard  ar- 
gument. 

Once    Griffith    definitely    reaches    the 

countryside  in   this    feminine   "Pilgrim's 

Progress"  his  drama  becomes  alive  with 

vigor.     .'\1I  the  sweetness  and  fragrance

The  Charm  School 

(Continued  from  fagc  30) 

ful  letters,"  those  fifty  pairs  of  limpid,  in- 
quiring eyes,  the  flowers  on  his  desk — no, 

he  didn't  do — they  didn't  do It  was 

just  as  well ■     He  would  tell  Homer 

Johns  about  it  that  evening  and  then  carry 
out  his  original  plan  of  going  away.  He 
had  resources — the  pain  at  his  heart  might 
be  a  slight  deterrent — but  he  had  to  figure 

that  in 

At  the  dance  he  told  Homer  Johns  of 
his  aunt's  true  bequest.  He  hadn't  fig- 
ured wrongly.  Old  Johns  chuckled,  said 
he  thought  it  just  as  well,  altho  he  would 
have  to  hunt  around  for  a  school  for  Elise 
and  offered  Austin  a  $25,000  a  year  job, 
which  was  promptly  accepted. 

"Run  away  for  a  month  or  two,  young 
man,"  the  older  man  advised,  "before  you 
tackle  the  new  proposition.  You  look  a 
bit  as  if  you'd  been  handed  a  blow  beneath 
the  belt." 

"I  have,"  Austin  said. 
It  wasn't  until  later  in  the  evening  that 
Homer  Johns  discovered  the  blow  beneath 
the  belt  to  be  Elise.  Mrs.  RoUes  gave  him, 
unwittingly,  the  information,  "I  hear," 
she  said,  "that  young  Austin  Bevans  isin 
love  with  one  of  his  Charm  School  pupils. 
I  am  so  glad.  It  relieves  Susie  of  his  un- 
welcome attentions." 

Johns  drew  his  heavy  brows  together 
and  smiled.  "I've  just  given  him  a  heavy 
job,"  he  said,  "that's  a  comer,  that  young 
man.  I  should  be  tickled  to  death  if  his 
attentions  were  in  the  direction  of  one  of 
my  family.  He's  a  comer  and  he  can  be 
trusted.    Two  noble  traits  in  man." 

Mrs.  RoUes  sought  out  Susie.  She  was 
quite  breathless. 

"Encourage  young  Bevans,"  she  said, 
hastily,  "he's  a  protege  of  Homer  Johns. 
That  means  a  fortune.  Give  it  out  that 
you    and   he   have   long    been    engaged. 

Waste  no  time — most  important 

Susie  gave  it,  with  a  nicely  unerring 
instinct,  to  Elise. 

Elise  believed  it.  We  always  do  believe 
the  worst  anent  the  one  we  love,  so  far 
beyond  our  reach  does  the  Desired  One 
appear. 

Elise  decided  to  vanish.    It  was  the  only 

thing  left  for  her  to  do,  she  decided,  with 

the  radical  desperation  of  the  very  young. 

The  green  earth  should  swallow  her  up. 

Oblivion  was  kind. 

She  left  a  note  for  Austin  graphically 
describing  her  intent.  Then,  like  Ibsen's 
Nora,  she  "went  out  into  the  night" — as 
far  as  Austin's  car.  The  low-swung  back 
tempted  her.  It  would  be  so  thrilling  to 
sit  there  and  watch  proceedings.  Who 
knows  but  what  Austin  might  do  some- 
thing dramatic?  Might  even  give  chase. 
Her  essential  romance  thrilled  to  the  pos- 
sibilities in  the  situation.     She  waited • 

In  ten  minutes  Austin  appeared.  _  Her 
heart  pounded,  the  whole  of  the  universe 
was  the  terrific  onslaught  of  her  heart — it 

was  like  the  roaring  of  many  waters 

Then  he  was  speaking  to  her,  "Where 
were  you  going?"  he  said,  but  with  the 
articulation  of  "where"  she  knew  that  he 
loved  her.

CLASSIC 


Peaceful  Valley 


{Continued  from  I'aijc  42) 

wont  111  say  that  lie  hail  li;ul  all  llic  lahur 
Ik-  could  well  stand  by  Labor  Day.  ( )ii 
(he.  last  day  of  this  particidar  summer 
more  than  Jothams  "brohe  up."  Ilosca 
had  been  over  all  forenoon,  ofiferingf  his 
dog  to  Virginia  and  helping  her  pack. 
She  refused  his  dog,  "because  }'OU  love 
him  so  much,  Hosea."  While  she  was 
speaking,  it  came  to  her  how  much  .she 
loved  his  comfy,  homey  name.  "I'll  be 
back  next  summer,"  she  told  him,  "we'll 
have  the  same  good  old  times  .  .  .  they 
liavc  been  good,  Hosea,  haven't  they? 
I've  come  to  love  your  mother  and 
Martha  and  nice  Luke  and  .  .  .  and  all 
of  Peaceful  N'allcy." 

llosea  didn't  speak  because  he  couldn't 
find  courage  or  conviction  to  say  what 
he  wanted  to,  and  he  wasn't  given  to 
light  talk. 

It  wa.s  going  to  be  lonesome,  but  he 
and  Martha  would  have  lots  to  keep  their 
tongues  going  this  winter.  He  would 
plan  a  sensational  crop  for  Perpindicular 
next  summer  and  who  knows  but  what 
.  .  .  Their  mother  would  soon  be  home 
and  maybe,  after  a  bit,  the  aching  which 
X'irginia  had  left  him,  along  with  the 
sweetness,  would  cease.    He  hoped  so  .  .  . 

When  he  got  home  Martha  was  not 
there.  .Funny.  For  awhile  longer  he 
hung  about,  dreaming  .  .  .  Deliberately, 
he  gave  himself  this  hour  .  .  .  himself 
and  N'irginia  ...  At  sundown  he  would 
limit  up  Martha  .  .  .  He  didn't  know 
why  the  lily  pond  suggested  itself  to  him 
on  this  night,  save  that  the  facts  of  love 
and  death  are  ever  intermingled  .  .  .  lie 
walked  to  it,  with  undue  haste.  It  was 
undisturbed  and  the  lilies,  overburdened 
with  ripe  sweetness,  breathed  forth  their 
dolorous  breaths  for  the  exquisite  delec- 
tation of  his  nostrils.     He  walked  home. 

At  midnight  of  that  night  there  was  no 
^ilarlha.  lie  and  Luke  had  sconreil  the 
countryside,  given  out  alarms,  done  all 
their  locality  could  do. 

The  next  day  his  mother  came  home, 
and  he  had  to  tell  her. 

The  pallor  of  her  face  was  like  that  of 
death. 

That  night  he  went  to  the  city.  He 
went  blindly  and  he  searched  blindly. 
He  hadn't  ever  rcaJiced  the  city.  Every 
slim  girl  he  saw  he  thought  he  saw 
Martha.  Every  vestige  of  distress  was 
her  distress.  After  a  week  he  returned, 
baffled,  bewildered,  distraught. 

The  winter  settled  down  on  Peaceful 
Valley.  Always,  before,  for  Hosea  it 
had  been  a  cheery  time  of  white  snows, 
flashing  sleds  and  scarlet  mittens,  peace- 
ful evenings,  Christmas  greens  and  more 
than  the  usual  goodies  at  table. 

This  winter  the  snow  was  like  a  pall, 
and  there  were  no  flashing  sleds  nor  scar- 
let mittens. 

For  all  Hosea  and  his  mother,  more 
worn  now  than  ever  before,  knew  their 
Martha  might  have  been  under  the  blan- 
keting snow,  dftcn,  they  hoped  she  might 
be.  It  would  be  kinder  so.

Not    Sometimes,    But    Regularly, 

Consistently,    Habitually, 

Year    After     Year 

More  than  twenty-five  years  ago  I  originated  the  correspon- 
dence method  in  this  country.  And  although  I  encountered 
SMHU'  prejudice  :it  first,  yet  every  year  I  enlarged  the  scope  of 
my  work  until  now  many  hundreds  of 
persons  all  over  the  world  are  studying 
with  me.  Every  state  in  the  Union, 
every  province  in  Canada,  contains 
scores  of  accomplished  players  who  ob- 
tained their  entire  training  from  nic — 
and  at  much  less  cost  and  effort  than 
was  usually  considered  necessary. 

I  will  gladly  refer  you  to  any  number 
of  my  graduates  wlio  will  soon  con\  ince 
\  ("lu  of  the  prompt  and  satisfying  results 
they  obtained  with  me.  There  seems  no 
r(.ason  why  you  should  not  benefit  in  the 
same  way,  and  I  certainly  urge  you  to 
invt-stigate  without  obligation  by  writ- 
ing for  my  6-i-page  free  booklet,  "How 
to   Learn   Piano   or   Organ.'' 

Occasionally  I  still  encounter  a  man 
or  woman  who  is  hesitant  aliout  learn- 
ing by  mail  and  feels  that  the  methods 
nf  50  years  ago  are  "safer."  This  feel- 
ing is.  perhaps,  natural  enough,  but  it 
is  due  to  a  misunderstanding  as  to  what 
are  the  real  problems  in  learning  piano. 
>ou  will  learn  much  more  rapidly'  by 
my  scientific  ziritlen  method  than  by  the 
old  fashioned  "spoken"  or  oral  method, 
which  cannot  be  made  really  systematic. 
My  free  booklet  will  fully  satisfy  your 
niind  in  this  regard  and  explain  exactly 
bow  and  why  my  method  produces  such 
iridy   surprising  results. 

My  Course  in  Piano  or  Organ  repre- 
sents the  best  thought  of  the  present  day 
and  makes  use  of  every  possible  scien- 
tific  help — many   of  which    are  entirely

|HHBfl^^^^p|     you    wanted    to    study   with    a    so-called 
^^^^^P|H|^^  teacher"   by  the   old-fashionL<l 

^^^^^^^^^^F  <"''''   system,   and  yet    could  afford   only 

^^    .^MMkA  $1    to   $5    per  lesson,    you   could    obtain 

^j^^^^m/i     t     only    third-rate    instruction.      No     tru<.

.^-  -^      ^^T  2     exchisii'e  attention   for   so   small   a    fee. 

^'et,  as  you  know,  one  lesson  with  an 
authority  is  worth  a  dozen  other  lessons. 
Hy  enrolling  with  this  Conservatory  and 
joining  my  Personal  Instruction  Class, 
your  lessons  cost  less  than  4,?  cents  each, 
as  part  of  the  Complete  Course.  Yet

CANTHROX 

SHAMPOO 

is  always  a  source  of  gratification  to  the  vast  number  of  attractive  women  who 
have  learned  its  virtues.  The  cooling,  sootliing  inHuence  of  its  fragrant,  invigorat- 
ing lather  upon  the  sensitive  scalp  brings  grateful  relief  to  sntTerers  from  itrhiiig 
and  dandruff.  It  makes  and  keeps  the  hair  attractive  by  developing  the  life,  lustre 
and  natural  waviness  through  cleanliness.  It  is  a  favorite  because  it  so  rapidly 
softens  and  removes  every  particle  of  dirt,  excess  oil  or  dandrutif,  at  the  same  time 
giving  a  flul^ness  that  lends  the  appearance  of  massiness  to  the  hair.

One  reason  for  the  great  popularity  of  Canthrox  is  that  it  requires  so  little  trouble 
or  time  to  use  it.     Vou  just  apply  the   fragrant,  invigorating  lather  thickly,  rub 
thoroughly  into  the  hair  and  scalp,  rinse  out  carefully  with  clear,  warm  water, 
after  which  it  ilrics  cjuickly  and  easily.

Spring  brol<e  rcliiclanlly.  Early  sum- 
mer opened  Jotliam's.  Ward  Andrews 
had  written  .several  times  saying  he  was 
prepared  to  take  up  the  option  on  the 
farm  and  Hosea  had  decided  not  to  go 
in  for  too  much  in  the  way  of  crops.  If 
the  old  i)lace  were  sold  his  labor  would 
be  for  naught.  Rut  he  needed  extra 
mone)'.  When  old  Jotham  offered  him 
a  Job  as  waiter  he  seized  upon  it. 

His  fir.st  evening  was  memorable.  He 
came  thru  the  door  balancing  his  tray, 
more  or  less  dexterously,  and  beheld  Vir- 
ginia. The  tray  met  an  instant  collision 
with  the  floor.  Over  the  debris  Virginia 
laughed,  and  the  few  other  guests  laughed 
too.  The  red- faced  boy  and  the  merry 
girl  were  so  palpably  together. 

.\ftcr  su]ii)er  Ho.sea  and  \'irginia  sat 
iin  the  porch  rail  together  and  she  told 
him  of  her  winter  and  her  studies.  Hosea 
told  her  of  their  sad  winter,  his  mother's 
and  his.  Of  Martha  who  had  vanished 
from  the  earth. 

"I'm  doing  this  for  the  extra  money, 
mostly  on  tliat  account,''  he  told  her; 
"we've  got  to  get  trace  of  Martha,  Mother 
and  I.  We'd  not  rest  even  in  our  graves 
if  we  never  heard  anything  of  her." 

Mrginia  was  tenderly  compassionate. 
She  laid  her  hand  on  his  arm  and  stroked 
it  a  bit. 

"I'm  so  sorry  ..."  she  kept  murmur- 
ing; "I'm  so  sorry  ..."  Her  sympathy 
was  very  sweet. 

Later  in  the  evening  Wanl  Andrews 
asked  \^irginia  to  marry  him.  "Your 
father's  willing,  Ginny,"  he  ended  his 
]ilca. 

fdtlier's  not  marrying  you.  Ward,"  she 
told  him,  "and,  personally,  /  couldn't. 
Just  couldn't.  I  like  you  .  .  .  but  it  has 
to  be  so  different  for  .  .  .  marriage.  I 
.  .  .  well,  there's  just  no  use." 

Ward  Andrews  didn't  accept  defeat 
gracefully.  He  didn't  tell  her  not  to 
worry,  it  would  be  all  right  with  him.  He 
scowled  and  gave  her  to  understand  he 
felt  himself  misused. 

Hosea  was  learning  to  accept  .  .  . 
Perpindicular  without  Martha,  dreams 
without  Virginia.  This,  perhaps,  was  life. 
Life  as  it  must  be  lived. 

Then,  one  day  in  June,  the  old  couple^ 
from  across  the  road  broke  in  on  the 
Howes,  sitting  more  or  less  wistfully  in 
the  sunlight,  and  told  how  they  had  seen 
Marthy  a  spell  up  the  road,  stragglin' 
along  and  a  cryin'  to  herself.  "Actin'  up 
as  (|ueer,"  the  old  lady  vouchsafed. 

Hosea  wasted  not  a  moment.  His  dull 
and  weary  brain  made,  miraculously,  an 
instantaneous  response. 

The  lily  pond ! 

"If  I  were  to  die  of  love,  I  think  I'd  do 
it  here  among  the  lilies  .  .  .  here  among 
the  lilies  ..."  She  hail  said  it. 

She  had  gone  down  twice  when  Hosea 
caught  the  dank  glint  of  her  hair  in  the 
lazy  ripple  of  the  pool.  The  thick  white 
of  a  lily  baffled  her  curled  fingertips. 

I  le  had  her  in  his  arms ;  had  her,  drip- 
Jiing.  against  his  breast,  before  the  suil- 
denly  sinister  water  could  touch  her  still 
face  again. 

In  the  front  room  Ward  Amlrews  had

come  with  his  option  money.  Somehow, 
thcv  hadn't  seemed  to  lliink  he  ever  would. 
With  it  right  there,  before  them,  with 
Luke  in  the  room  with  Martha,  swearing 
he  wanted  her  at  once,  no  matter  what 
had  befallen  her,  it  didn't  seem  neces'.ary 
to  liart  with  stony  old  Pcrpindicular.  It 
.seemed  hard  and  wholly  undesirable.  The 
past  winter  had  taught  \alues. 

Old  lotham  saw  how  it  was  going. 
Saw  that  it  di<ln't  need  to  go.  His  hand 
was  in  his  pocket  when  Luke  opened 
Martha's  door  to  come  out  and  Martha, 
catching  sight  of  Ward  Andrews  framed 
in  the  front  door,  emitted  a  piercing,  un- 
mistakable shriek  of  terror,  of  appalled 
recognition,  of  appeal  ... 

Somehow  it  struck  them  all,  simul- 
taneously. Ward  Andrews  .  .  .  the  op- 
tion .  .  '.  Martha  and  her  disappearance 
riosea  was  upon  him  before  Luke 
could  get  there  and  finally  out  of  the 
chaos  some  sort  of  order  was  evolved. 

Luke  went  back  to  Martha  to  still  the 
incoherence  of  her  reiterated  "I  got  away 
from  him  ...  I  got  away  from  him  .  .  .  he 
never  so  much  ...  I  did  ...  I  did  .  .  / 
Dr.  Rand  had  Hosea  by  the  hand.  "I 
have  been  investigating  this  young  man 
on  the  quiet  for  .some  time,"  he  said,  indi- 
cating what  was  left  of  Ward  Andrews, 
"and  he  hasn't  borne  the  investigation. 
I  have  also  been  investigating  your  farm, 
Mrs.  Mowe.  You  and  your  son  are  to 
be  congratulated  as  potential  millionaires. 
The  place  is  invaluable  in  mineral 
springs." 

C)utsi<le  the  door  \'irginia  had  ma- 
neuvered Hosea.  Her  eyes  were  upon 
him,  beseeching. 

"Once  you  said,"  he  imparted,  "that 
vou  loved  mother  .  .  .  and  Martha  .  .  . 
and  Peaceful  X'alley  .  .  .  but  yoU  didn't 
mention  ..." 

"You?"  prompted  X'irginia,  touching 
him,  "you?  Oh,  darling,  that  was  only 
because  I  was  a  'fraid  cat  ...  I  didn't 
dare  .  .  .  And  I  wasn't  sure  about  you. 
r.ut  I  am  now.  I  see  it  in  your  eyes  .  .  . 
I  do  ...  I  do.  ..." 

Ho.sea  took  her  in  his  arms  and  kist 
her.  All  at  once  it  was  the  natural,  the 
only  thing  to  do.  .All  at  once,  too.  Peace- 
ful \'alley  was  filled  with  an  unearthly 
light  as  of  a  great  glory  and  there  was  the 
sound  of  singing,  heavenly  sweet,  and  the 
slimmer  burgeoned  and  filled  the  twilight 
with  a  million,  million  roses  .  .  .  and 
thru  it  all  filtered  Martha's  thin  little  hap- 
jiy  laugh.  Dr.  Rand's  deep  ])leasant 
voice,  their  mother's  tremulous,  eager 
answers  .  .  .  the  singing  of  their  pulses 
.  .  .  his  and  hers  .  .  .

Myrtle  of  tlio  Mnuntains 

(Conlinucd  from  page  21) 

•"Ininny  little  thing!"  said  Miss  Stcd- 
iiian.  laugliiiiK  in  sympathy. 

.\n(l  then,  just  as  wo  left  the  table  and 
started  for  the  living-room,  the  doorbell 
began  to  ring. 

"What  on  earth !"  she  exclaimed  .  .  . 
there  was  no  one  in  sight.  Still  the  bell 
rang,  londly,  continnonsly,  as  tho  making 
up  for  lost  time.  After  a  protracted 
search  it  was  discovered  that  the  amateur 
electricians  had  in  some  way  connected 
the  thing  with  a  clothes  clo'set  door.  When 
the  door  was  left  open  tlie  bell  wouldn't 
ring  at  all,  but  with  the  door  closed  it 
raiig  all  the  time.  The  tloor  was  propped 
open,  to  keep  out  the  noise,  and  we  re- 
turned to  the  living-room  and  seated  our- 
selves cnnifortably  on  a  big  davenpurl. 
^\■e  had  been  laughing  .so  heartily  that,  for 
a  minute,  conversation  was  impossible. 

"Let's  .see;  where  were  we?"  said  Miss 
.Stednian,  and  then  answering  herself, 
"Oh,  yes;  at  the  Westerns.  Of  course, 
we  worked  under  difficulties  that  pro- 
ducers dont  have  now.  There  was,  for 
instance,  the  matter  of  the  trademark.  It 
was,  you  reiuember,  a  big  diamond  'S'  and 
it  bad  to  appear  in  every  scene.  Some- 
times we  would  get  miles  out  on  location 
and  find  that  it  had  been  forgotten.  When 
this  happened,  i^roduction  was  held  up 
until  the  pro])erty  man  could  get  it  from 
the  studio  ;  we  never  dared  make  anything 
without  it." 

There  was,  of  course,  the  ever  present 
possibility  that  someone  would  try  and 
steal  some  of  their  stufT. 

Tt  was  about  five  years  ago  that  Myrtle 
Stedman  left  Chicago  and  Westerns  for 
drama  and  California.  She  appeared  as 
."saxon  in  Jack  I^ondon's  "Valley  of  the 
Moon."  and  was  also  in  the  first  produc- 
tion of  "Burning  Daylight."  It  will  be 
remembered  that  she  was  at  Lasky's  for 
a  time  playing  with  Hayakawa,  Wallie 
Reid  and  many  others. 

"1  su|>pose  you've  had  a  trying  week," 
1  remarked,  referring  to  some  re-takes  for 
"Sowing  the  Wind,"  in  which  she  had 
been  working  at  the  Alayer  studio. 

"Yes,  I've  been  weeping  steadily  all  the 
way  thru  this  picture.  It's  an  old  'Ro- 
mance' play,  you  know — of  course,  they've 
briiught   it  up-to-date. 

"1  did  hojie  that  I  was  going  to  do  a 
W'estern  next,  but  it  seems  that  the  picture 
wont  he  a  Western  after  all.  It's  a  mill 
story.  However,  it  will  be  with  Bill  Hart 
and  I'm  delighted  abmit  that  anyway!" 

Myrtle  .Stedman  has  a  frank,  straight- 
forward way  of  looking  at  you  from  clear 
blue  eyes,  a  frank  straight- forward  hamb 
shake. 

.She  ha.s  never  lost  her  ca])acily  for 
enthusiasms.  She  loves  the  theater  and 
she  can  still  watch  a  play  or  a  i)icture  un- 
critically, laughing  at  the  right  motiieiUs 
and  crying  at  the  right  luomcnts.  Inn. 
\\  ith  all  this,  her  work  shows  her  to  be 
a  remarkably  finisheil  artist. 

It  is  not  to  be  wondered  at,  that  Rex 
I'leach,  seeing  her  in  .\ew  York,  engaged 
her  for  the  part  of  Cherry  Melotte  in 
"The  Silver  Horde."  She  was  an  ideal 
choice  for  the  i)art.

How  Every  Woman  Can  Have 
A  Winnings  Personality 


Let  Me  Introduce  Myself 

DEAR  READER:  /  zvish  to 
tell  3'"i(  liow  to  have  a  charm- 
ing, winning  personality  be- 
cause all  my  life  I  have  seen  that 
without  it  any  woman  labors  under 
great  handicaps.  Without  person^ 
ality,  it  is  almost  impossible  to  make 
desirable  friends,  or  get  on  in  busi- 
ness; and  yes,  often  must  a  woman 
give  up  the  man  on  whom  her  heart 
is  set  because  she  has  not  the  power 
to  attract  or  to  hold  him. 

During  tny  career  here  and  abroad,  I 
have  met  a  great  many  peuple  whom  I 
have  been  able  to  study  under  circum- 
stances which  have  brought  out  their  weak 
or  strong  points,  like  a  tiny  spot  on  the 
lens  of  a  moving  picture  machine  will 
magnify  into  a  very  large  bhit  (.n  the 
screen.  And  I  have  seen  so  many  people, 
lacking  in  personality,  try  to  make  3 
success  of  their  plans  and  fail  completely, 
in  a  way  that  has  been  quite  pathetic.  I 
am  sure  that  you  also  are  familiar  with 
one    or    more    such    cases. 

Success  of  a  Winsome  Manner 

/  saw  iiiDucroiis  failures  that  were  so 
distressing  that  my  thoughts  could  not 
help  dwelling  upon  those  shattered  and 
vain  conditions.  I  have  seen  women  of 
education,  and  culture  and  natural  beauty 
actually  fail  where  other  women  minus 
such  advantages,  but  possessing  certain 
secrets  of  lovablcness,  a  certain  winsome- 
ness.  a  certain  knack  of  looking  right  and 
saying  the  right  word  would  get  ahead 
delightfully.  Nor  were  they  naturally 
forward  women.  Nor  were  they  the  kind 
that  men  call  clever.  Some  of  them,  if 
you    studied    their    features    closely,    wen.- 

decidedly  not 
handsome ;  yet 
they  seemed  so. 
They  didn't  do 
this  by  covering 
their  faces  with 
Cosmetics;  they 
knew  the  true 
means.  And  often 
the  winning  wom- 
en were  in  the 
thirties,  forties,  or 
even  fifties.  Yet 
Ihey  "appealed." 
You  know  what  I 
mean.  They  drew 
others  to  them  by 
a  subtle  power 
which  seemed  to  emanate  from  them.  Others 
liked  to  talk  to  them  and  to  do  things  for  them. 
tn  their  presence  you  felt  perfectly  at  ease — as 
though  you  had  been  good,  good  friends  for 
very    long. 

French  Feminine  Charms 

The  French  u-omcn  among  my  friends  seemed 
to  me  more  generally  endowed  with  this  ability 
to  fascinate,  than  did  my  friends  among  other 
nationalities.  In  the  years  that  I  lived  in 
Parts,  I  was  amazed  to  find  that  most  of  the 
women  I  met  were  enchanting. 

"Is  it  a  part  of  the  French  character?"  I 
asked  my  friends. 

"Were  you  born  that  way?"  I  would  often 
ask   some  charming   woman. 

And  they  smilingly  tuld  me  titat  "personality" 
as  we  know  it  here  in  America,  is  an  art,  that  is 
studied  and  acquired  by  French  women  just  as 
they  would  learn  to  cook,  or  to  sing  by  cultivat- 
ing the  voice.  Every  girl  and  woman  possesses 
latent  personality.  This  includes  yc^i,  dear  reader. 
There  are  numerous  real  secrets  for  developing 
your  personality.  In  France,  where  the  women 
have  always  outnumbered  the  men,  and  where 
opportunity  for  our  sex  is  restricted,  those  who 
wish  to  win  husbands  or  shine  in  society,  or 
succeed  in  their  careers,  have  no  choice  but  to 
develop  their  charms  in  competiticn  with   others. 

How  Men's  Affections  Are  Held 

Lately  the  ncu-sfal'crs  have  been  tcUiug  us  that 
thousands  and  thousands  of  our  fine  young  army 
men  have  taken  French  wives.  It  was  no  surprise 
to  me.  for  I  know  hinv  allurina  are  the  French 
girls.  Nor  could  I  help  conceding  the  truth  in 
the  assertion  of  a  competent  Franco- American 
journalist    that    "American    girls    are    too    provin- 


JULIETTE  FARA 


You  may  have  all  those  attractive  qualities  that 
adore  In  women 


cial,  formal,  cold  and  unresponsive  while  the 
French  girls  radiate  warmth  cf  sympathy,  devo- 
tion and  all  those  exquisite  elements  of  the  heart 
that   men   adore  in   women." 

And  1  who  am  successful  and  probably  known 
to  you  by  reputation  through  my  activities  on  the 
Faubourg  St.  Honore  can  tell  you  in  all  candor, 
as  one  woman  confiding  in  another,  that  these 
French  secrets  of  personality  have  been  a  very 
important  factor  in  the  successes  of  mine.  But 
It  is  not  my  tendency  to  boast  of  myself,  the 
Julictie  Fara  whom  I  want  you  to  feel  that  you 
already  knfiw  as  your  sincere  friend,  but  I  sneak 
of  VOU  and  for  YOU. 

French  Secrets  of  Fascination 

My  continued  residence  in  France  enabled  me 
to  observe  the  ways  and  methods  of  the  women 
closely.  I  studied  and  analyzed  the  secrets  of 
their    fascinating   powers. 

H'hen  I  returned  to  the  dear  eld  U.  S.  A.,  I 
set  myself  at  Work  putting  together  the  lacts, 
methods,  secrets  and  formulae  that  I  had  learned 
while  in   France, 

Of  one  tiling  I  am  absolutely  convinced — every 
woman  who  wishes  it  may  have  a  winfiing  per- 
sonality. 

Overcoming  Deterrent  Timidity 

/  know  I  ca7i  take  any  girl  of  a  timid  or  over- 
modest  disposition,  one  who  lacks  self-confi- 
dence, or  is  too  self  conscious  fur  her  own 
good,  and  show  her  how  to  become  discreetly 
and  charmingly  daring,  perfectly  natural  and 
comfortable  in  the  presence  of  others.  I  can 
show  you  how  to  bring  out  charms  which  you  do 
n-ot  even  dream  yuit  possess. 

Uncouth  Boldness — or  Tactful  Audacity 

If  you  arc  an  assertive  Woman,  the  kind  tiiat 
suffers  from  too  great  forwardness,  I  can  show 
you  in  a  way  that  juu  will  find  delightful,  how  to 
be  gentle  and  unassuming,  to  tear  away  the  false 
fabric  of  your  repelling  and  ungracious  person- 
ality and  replace  it  with  another  that  wins  and 
attracts.  By  this  method,  vou  will  succeed,  oh 
so  well,  while  by  uncoulnness  or  misapplied 
audacity  you  meet   with   setbacks. 

y  ca7i  take  the  frail  girl  or  woinan,  the  listless 
one  who  usually  feels  that  the  good  things  in 
life  are  not  for  her  and  show  her  how  to  become 
vigorous  and  strong,  tingling  with  enthusiasm  and 
good  chet-r  and  how  to  see  the  whole  wide  world 
full    of    splendid    tilings    just    for    her. 

Become  An  Attractive  Woman 

/  can  take  the  girl  or  woman  who  is  ignorant 
or     careless     of     her     appearance,     or     the     girl 


who  dresses  unbecomingly  and  instill  in 
her  a  sense  of  true  importance  of  appear- 
ance in  personality;  I  can  enlighten  her 
in  the  ways  of  women  of  the  world,  in 
making  the  most  of  their  apparel.  All  this 
without  any  extravagance;  and  I  can  show 
her  how  to  acquire  it  with  originality  and 
taste.  You  realize,  of  course,  that  dress- 
ing to  show  yourself  to  advantage,  is  a 
real  art  and  without  that  knowledge  you 
will  always  be  under  a  disadvantage. 

For  Married  Women 

There  arc  some  very  impo-rtant  secrets 
which  married  French  women  know  that 
enables  them  to  hold  the  love,  admiration 
and  fidebty  of  their  men.  How  the  selfish 
spirit  in  a  man  is  to  he  overcome  so  in- 
gen-.ously  that  he  does  not  know  wluit  \o:i 
are  accomplishing  until  some  day  he  aw'ak- 
ens  to  the  fact  that  his  character  and  his 
manner  have  undergone  a  delightful 
change — that  he  is  not  only  making  you 
happy,  but  he  is  finding  far  greater  pleas- 
'^'^*''  '"  iif*^  *^^"  when  he  was  inconsid- 
irate.  There  are  secrets  in  my  compila- 
tion that  are  likely  to  change  a  turbulent 
course  of  married  life  for  one  that  is  en- 
irancingly  ideal.  And  this  power  lies 
within   you,  my  dear   Madam. 

Acquire  Your  Life's  Victory  Now 

U'liat  we  call  personalilv   is  made  up  of 
a  number  of  little  things.      It  is  not   some- 
thing vague  and  indefinable.     Personality, 
charm,    good   looks,    winsomeness   and    suc- 
cess can  be  cultivated.      If  you  know  the 
secrets,    if   you    learn    the    rules    and    put 
thtm  into  practice,   you   can    be  charming, 
you     can     have    an     appealing    personalilv

ever    read. 

Once  yo^i  hare  learned  my  lessons,  they  become 
a  kind  of  second  nature  to  you.  When  you  notice 
the  improvement  in  your  appearance,  how  you 
get  on  easier  with  people,  how  your  home  prob- 
ems  seem  to  solve  themselves,  how  in  nmnher- 
ess  little  ways  (and  big  ones,  too)  life  gets  to 
Hold  so  many  more  prizes  for  you.  y.ni  will  de- 
cide to  put  more  and  more  of  the  methods  in 
practice  in  order  to  obtain  still  more  of  life's 
rewards.

"Rut  tlie  Fellers  Call 'Him  Bill" 

{Continued  from  j^agc  59) 

\villinj!;ni,-ss.  Ho  thoiKjhl  he  wanted  to  go 
(111  the  stas^re— but  lie  was  not  sure,  because 
lie  had  not  yet  tried  it— or  anything  else. 

So  lie  tried  directories.  But  figures  and 
detail  work  bored  him.  He  was  not  in- 
terested in  directories  altho  he  honestly 
tried  to  be.  His  father  was  disappointed 
— his  mother,  well  known  to  the  profes- 
sion in  this  and  other  countries,  did  not 
want  him  to  go  on  the  stage. 

Billie  Boyd  was  twenty-three  wdien  lie 
began  his  stage  career — hut  he  began  by 
doing  extra  parts,  receiving,  sometimes, 
the  mnnificent  sum  of  one  dollar — fifty 
cents  (if  which  he  handed  over  as  a  com- 
mission. But  he  bad  decided  and  there 
was  no  turning  back.  From  these  small 
beginnings  he  has  advanced  rapidly.  Not 
(inly  in  all  the  principal  cities  of  America, 
but  in  all  the  provinces  he  is  known  as 
juvenile  lead  hero  of  drama  or  light 
comedy,  in  character  parts.  His  last 
Broadway  appearance  was  in  "The  Voice 
in  the  Dark"  and  he  had  just  finished  a 
long  engagement  in  Chicago  with  "Poker 
Ranch."  reaching  New  York  just  in  time 
to  begin  work  in  the  filming  of  "Black- 
birds" in  which  he  is  appearing  with 
Justine  Johnson  in  her  first  Realart 
]iicture. 

"And  have  yon  deserted  the  stage  en- 
tirely ?"  I  asked — knowing  well  what  his 
answer  would  be,  but  wisliing  to  get  him 
to  talk  about  himself, 

"No  indeed!"  he  said  emphatically.  "I 
was  glad  of  the  chance  to  do  this  picture 
because  I  have  finished  my  stage  engage- 
ment in  Chicago  and  A.  H.  Woods  who 
has  practically  signed  me  for  the  coming 
season  was  not  quite  decided  about  the 
piay  I  was  to  appear  in.  So  I  bad  time 
td  do  this  and  am  enjoying  it  wonderfully. 
I'uiiny  business — "  he  commented.  "Went 
to  b'lorida  week  or  so  ago  to  take  some 
scenes.  .And  now,  we  are  doing  some 
scenes  that  come  away  ahead  of  those  we 
took  in  Florida. 

"I'm  not  used  to  that — and  even  tho  1 
know  the  story,  it's  a  bit  confusing.  You 
see  I  have  done  only  one  picture  before 
this — A'irtuous  Wives'  with  Anita  Stew- 
art. But  I  hope  it  will  develop  that  I 
can  do  more.  I  really  like  the  work  very 
much.  Ten  years  ago,"  he  said,  reminis- 
cently,  "George  Fitzmaurice  tried  to  jier- 
suade  me  to  go  with  him  as  a  director.  T 
could  not  .see  pictures  at  all  at  that  time — 
and  turned  down  his  proposition." 

"You  might  have  made  a  big  success 
as  a  director — as  Mr.  Fitzmaurice  has 
done." 

"No,"  he  said  decidedly.  "I  am  an 
actor — and  while  some  actors  are  good 
business  men — 1  am  not.  And  I  believe 
a  director  of  motion  pictures  should  be 
both.  As  I  see  it,  it's  up  to  the  director 
to  make  the  picture  both  an  artistic  and 
business  success.  I  might  take  care  of 
the  artistic  end — but  the  financial  end 
would  be  a  big  gamble.  And  1  couldn't 
give  up  the  stage.  It's  my  job — it's  all 
I  know.  So  ril  keep  the  faith — so  to 
speak — and  try  to  justify  my  choice  of 
a  profession.    And  Billie  Boyd  ivoutd.

many  stars  in  the  sky  as  is  usual  and  a 
little  new  moon  looked  very  brilHant  and 
very  near.  One  felt  as  tho  in  the  midst 
of  a  stage  setting,  radier  than  a  .scene  of 
reality.  There,  .she  told  me  of  a  thrilling 
experience  which  she  had  while  in  the 
South  of  Russia.  The  anecdote  deserves 
a  jilace  here  because  it  illustrates  so  well 
the  daring  of  her  nature. 

"1  had  been  in  Russia  manv  times,"  she 
said,  "but  never  far  from  civilization.  On 
this  occasion  just  a  little  stream  separated 
us  from  a  Tartar  village  where  the  people 
were  wild  and  veree  cruel.  We  had  been 
warned,  our  jiarty,  but  still  1  wanted  to 
cross  that  stream.  It  was  so  narrow  one 
could  ste])  across  it  quite  easily. 

"One  day,  I  was  out  walking  with  a 
friend  and  we  decided  to  go  just  a  little 
way.  We  had  hardly  crossed  the  stream 
when  we  were  surrouniled  and  made  pris- 
oners. I  was  never  so  afraid  in  all  mv 
life.  I  was  certain  that  they  were  going 
to  kill  us.  They  made  us  prisoners  for 
some  time,  then  tliey  let  us  go.  They  said 
that  if  ever  we  came  back  they  would 
certainly  kill  us !" 

But  she  had  had  her  own  way  about 
crossing  the  stream;  she  is  that  type  of 
woiuan.

popularity  with  each  succeeding  picture, 
that  is  if  I  make  good.  I  am  not  going 
into  this  venture  with  any  false  illusions, 
you  may  be  certain.  I  sometimes  think 
that  I  should  have  worked  in  small  parts, 
gotten  some  ex[)erieuce  before  venturing 
into  being  featured  in  pictures,  but  cir- 
cumstances have  forced  me  to  act  other- 
wise, and  I  can  only  work  and  wait." 

Miss  Dickson  is  one  of  the  most  photo- 
gra])hed  g;  '.:  in  the  country.  Not  an 
issue  of  any  of  the  popular  magazines 
seems  complete  without  a  photograph  of 
her.  The  dainty  charm  of  her  wistful 
beauty  lends  itself  with  e.xtreme  aptitude 
to  the  camera,  and  this  is  perhaps  what 
tlie  powers  that  be  over  at  the  Famous 
flayers  studio  realized  when  they  signed 
Dorothy  up  with  an  interesting  contract. 

We  lifted  our  glass  of  iced  coffee 
slowdy,  our  thoughts  busy  with  the  many 
gifts  which  the  fairy  godmothers  had 
showered  upon  this  one  girl-woman.  Our 
eyes  chanced  to  fall  on  the  diamond  wrist 
watch  she  wore.  Choking  and  sputter- 
ing, we  came  back  to  earth  and  gurgled 
that  we  had  to  dash — "no  idea  it  was  so 
late — Heavens!     Much  work  to  do." 

"Can  I  drop  you  anywhere.  I'm  on  mv 
way  to  finish  my  shopping,"  said  Doro- 
thy. 

"No.  thank  you.  Have  to  go  by  sub- 
way. Many  thanks  just  the  same.  Thanks 
.awfully.    Good-bye!    Good-luck!" 

"Good-bye.  See  you  soon,  I  liopc," 
said  Dorothy — and  she  will !

New  Easy  Way 
To  Learn  Drawing 


How  you  can  earn  big  money  in 
Commercial  Art ^  Illustrating, 
Designing,  or  Cartooning,  with- 
out being  a  "genius"  and  with- 
out being"  gifted"  or"talented." 

Never  was  there  such  a  need  for  artists  as  today! 
Business,  revitalized,  needs  thousands.  Illustrated 
catalogs,  advertisements,  posters,  circulars,  trade- 
mark designs — countless  pieces  of  art  work  are 
needed  by  the  busy  business  world.  More  than 
48,868  periodicals  are  published  in  America — think 
of  the  enormous  amount  of  art  work  they  require — 
think  of  the  thousands  of  artists  needed  to  satisfy 
this  never-ending  demand.  Magazines,  ncwpapers, 
advertising  agencies,  business  concerns,  department 
stores— all  have  realized  the  commercial  value  of 
pictures  and  are  calling  for  artists  to  draw  them. 
Big  money  is  gladly  paid— and  big  money  is  waiting 
for  anyone  with  foresight  enough  to  prepare  for  this 
pleasant  profession.  Thru  our  new,  easy  method  of 
teaching,  YOU  can  easily  earn  big  money  as  an  artist. 

Learn  in  Spare  Time  at  Home 

This  new  method  is  like  a  fascinating  game.  No 
matter  how  little  you  may  know  about  drawing,  no 
matter  whether  people  tell  you,  "you  have  no  talent," 
no  matter  what  your  present  ability  may  be — if  you 
ciiii  write  we  can  teach  you  to  draw. 

Have  you  ever  notited  a  child  trying  to  draw? 
Every  child  does  it.  They  also  try  to  read  and 
write.  The  faculty  of  reading  and  writing  is 
developed  in  them  as  they  grow  older.  The  faculty 
of  drawing  is  not.  That  is  the  only  difference. 
Everyone  has  within  him  the  power  to  picturize  his 
ideas.  The  riffht  method  of  training  is  the  only 
thing  needed  to  bring  out  this  ability. 

New  Method  Simplifies  Everything 

Our  new  method  simplifies  everything.  All  the 
red-tape,  "art  for  art's  sake"  teaching,  and  super- 
fluous theory  is  taken  out  and  in  its  place  is  put 
definite,  practical  instruction  so  that  you  will  make 


money  in  the  art  (jame.  This  new  system  of  teaching 
has  exploded  the  theory  that  "talent"  was  necessary 
for  success  in  art.  Just  as  you  have  been  taught  to 
read  and  write,  you  can  be  taught  to  draw.  We 
start  you  with  straight  lines— then  curves— then  you 
learn  to  put  them  together,.  Now  you  begin  making 
pictures.  Shading,  action,  perspective  and  all  the 
rest  follow  in  their  right  order,  until  you  are  making 
every  week  pictures  that  sell  for  as  much  money  as 
you  now  earn  in  a  month. 

Every  drawing  you  make  while  taking  the  course 
receives  the  personal  criticism  of  our  director.  Will 
H.  Chandlee.  Mr.  Chandlee  has  had  over  35  years' 
experience  in  commercial  art,  and  is  considered  one 
of  the  country's  foremost  authorities.  He  knows  the 
game  inside  and  out.  He  teaches  you  to  make  the 
kind  of  pictures  that  sell.  Many  of  our  students  are 
now  commanding  big  fees — some  of  them  have  re- 
ceived as  high  as  $100  for  their  first  drawing!

of  the  country  sweeps  out  from  the  silver- 
sheet.  There  is  the  Uartlett  kitchen  the 
forum  of  llie  Xew  !•  ukUukI  family,  there 
is  the  Bartlett  farmhouse  porch,  whereon 
tnother  does  her  ehuvning  and  lather 
reads  his  paper  in  the  twd.ght  of  the 
departing  day,  there  arc  vast  stretches 
of  hav  and  daisy  fields  by  summer  an.l 
frozen  roads  and  snow-swept  country- 
side by  whiter.  Mr.  Griffith  has  caugfit 
it  all,  from  the  gentle  lure  of  the  New 
England  lune  to  the  thigling  sleigh  ride 
and  barn  "dance  days  of  December. 

We  do  not  mean  that  Griffith  has  been 
entirely  successful.  He  has  permitted  a 
horrible  overdrawing  of  rural  comedy 
cliaracters,  following  in  the  footsteps  ol 
the  original  stage  version.  How  easy 
it  would  have  been  to  have  limned  these 
folk  simply  and  honestly,  to  have  pre- 
sented them  with  homely  sincerity.  Hut 
Griffith,  we  suspect,  felt  this  necessary  to 
meet  popular  favor.  In  our  critieal- 
and  perhaps  impractical— way,  we  doubt 
it  But  of  course,  we  have  no  millions 
at  stake,  waiting  upon  the  film's  success 

or  failure.  .       ,    ...      r   ,., 

W'c  have  noted  the  big  thrill  of   the 
Griffith    "Way    Down    East."      In    the 
stage  version,  the  unhappy  Anna  merely 
disappeared  out  the  door  of  the  Bartlett 
maison  into  a  flurry  of  fluttering  paper. 
Upon   the  Griffith   screen   she   struggles 
thru  a  real  blizzard  until  she  falls  un- 
conscious in  the  midst   of   an  ice   jam. 
'I'hereupon  the  ice  breaks  and  Anna  is 
carried    upon   a    careening   aiK\  steadily 
dwindling  ice  cake  towards  the  river  falls. 
•11,0  count  rv  lover  dashes  blindly  to  her 
rescue  and— leaping  from  one  ice  block 
to  another— reaches  Anna's   side  as  she 
is  about  to  be  swept  over  the  falls.     Seiz- 
ing her.  lie  jumps   from  ice  floe  to  ice 
floe  until  he  reaches  safety.    This  sounds 
tame  in  the  narration.    In  reality,  he  seems 
two  or  three  times  to  leap  from  an  ice 
cake  just  as   it  plunges   over  the  roar- 
iii<r  cataract.    We  do  not  know  how  Grif- 
fith accomplished  it,  but,  as  we  have  .said 
this  is  unquestionably  the  biggest  thri  1 
since  that  classic  climax  of  "The  Birth 
of  a  Nation."     At  tlie  New  York  pre- 
miere the  audience  actually  leaped  to  its 
feet  and  shouted  as  .\nna,  alias  1  .ilhan 
Gish,  was  carrie.1  to   safety,  by   David, 
otherwise  Dick  Barthelmess. 

Here  let  us  give  Miss  Gish  lier  just 
due.  Her  Anna  Moore,  a  ghastly  color- 
less being  on  the  stage,  is  one  of  the  big- 
gest things  the  cinema  has  ever  revealed 
1-if  it  isn't  the  biggest.  Right  now  we  are 
rather  of  the  opinion  that  it  tops  every 
histrionic  performance  of  the  past.  It  has 
slashing  moments,  as  in  the  hysteria  of 
the  baby's  death  anil  again  when  the  dis- 
iraughl'  girl  bursts  into  a  denunciation 
of  those  \vho  persecute  her,  but,  best  of 
all  it  is  a  big,  consistent  and  developing 
performance.  .'\nna  literally  grows  from 
wide-eyed  girlhood  to  womanhood  before 
your  eyes.     Congratulations,  Miss  Gish! 

Mr.    Barthelmess    is    excellent   as   the 
country  lover.     Fine,  too,  is  Burr  Mc- 
intosh's virile  and  unhending  old  Puritan,

Tlio  Cdlulnid  Critic 

{Ciinliiiucd  I  rum  [>iujc  98) 

.Sqiiire  Bartlctl,  iiicaniate  representative 
nf  the  Xew  lCnf;l;in<l  conscience,  lie  is 
tlie  atniosplicro  of  "Way  Down  East." 
l.ouell  Sliennan  is  a  vivid  villain,  Kale 
r.rnce  is  sweet  and  moving  as  Mullier 
Banlett,  Mary  Hay  has  cute  moments 
as  a  city  educated  fanu  maiden  .-ind 
Crcigliton  Hale  plays  a  butterfly-hunting 
scientist  with  fine  —  and  even  subtle  — 
liiuclies  o{  humor.  But  the  rural  comedy 
characters — horrors ! 

Mr.  (iriflith  has  achieved  some  unusual 
things  here  and  there,  both  technically  and 
dramatically.  In  the  last  named  category 
comes  llie  scene  where  he  has  dared  to 
show  the  agonies  of  childbirlli.  t'lriffith 
has  utilized  the  Brewster  melhnd  of  natu- 
ral color  photography  lor  at  least  a  half 
dozen  scenes.  Alongside  the  superb  color 
of  Bitzcr's  matchless  photography  it  seems 
doubly  crude.  There  are  many  notable 
moments  ])hotographically.  One,  which 
occurs  in  David's  chase  of  the  lost  Anna, 
will  cling  in  our  memory.  This  is  a  fleet- 
ing glimi)se  of  tlie  boy  caught  in  the 
wiiiriing  blizzard,  framed  by  swaying 
lir  trees  against  a  haze  of  swirling  snow. 

.\  minor  plaint  can  be  made  against 
the  seeming  confusion  of  time  in  the  city 
and  country  scenes.  Lucile  and  1920 
reign  in  the  wicked  metropolis,  while  the 
country  is  still  in  the  nineties  sartorially. 

Griffith  came  near  greatness  in  "Way 
Down  l£ast."  He  fell  short  in  two  things, 
slowness  in  reaching  the  real  theme  of 
his  story  and,  in  a  greater  measure,  in 
constantly  tearing  away  the  homely  and 
tenderly  developed  atmosphere  with  such 
palpably  overdrawn  horse-play  characters 
as  Hi  Holler,  Seth  Holcomb  and  Reuben 
Whipi)le.  But  "Way  Down  East"  is  so 
worth  while  that  we  predict  an  endless 
sort  of  popularity  for  it. 

And,  let  us  add,  you  will  not  forget 
I\Iiss  Gish's  performance.  It  is  splendid 
in  every  sense  of  the  word. 

Lack  of  space  necessitates  brief  re- 
views of  the  various  current  photoplays : 

'■rhc  Love  Flower."  — Xi.  W.  Grif- 
fith's story  of  a  man-hunt  in  the  .South 
Pacific,  (irifiith  lost  his  theme  in  pretty- 
ing a  romance  between  the  pursued  man's 
daughter  and  a  young  adventurei.  Does 
not  seem  real  anywhere  but  it  establishes 
Carol  Dempster  as  a  cinema  personality. 
1  lere  is  a  young  girl  with  charm,  distinc- 
tion and  vividness.  Dick  Bartbelmess  is 
not  at  his  best. 

"The  White  Circle." — Maurice  Tour- 
neur's  visualization  of  Robert  Louis 
.Steven.son's  "The  I'avilion  on  the  Thinks," 
another  man-hunt  with  entirely  different 
treatment,  (iriffith  deals  in  personalities, 
Tomneur  in  backgrounds.  There  are  some 
superb  scenes  on  the  lonely  moors  by 
night.  .Sixittiswoode  ,\iken  plays  an  old 
man  frought  with  fear  about  his  pursuers. 

"Lady  Rose's  Daiiyliler." — Hugh 
h'ord's  visualization  of  the  Mrs.  Humph- 
rey Ward  novel.  A  .study  in  inherited 
wcakne.ss.  Bad  continuity  and  inferior 
direction  handling.  Elsie  Ferguson  was 
never  moic  unconvincing.

MOTION   PICTURE   CLASSIC 

The  Branded  Woman 

{Continued  from  page  68) 

liarr.i,"  he  wliincd.  "Before  God  I  liaven't ! 
All  1  did  was  to  send  a  fake  message  to 
the  day-nursery,  where  she  was  worUin', 
for  Alvarez.  He  was  on  the  hoat  and 
hired  nie  to  find  her.  If  anything's  hap- 
j)ened " 

He  fumbled  for  a  key,  fitted  it  into  the 
lock  of  a  door,  and  |)nshed  it  open.  At 
tlie  moment  of  his  entering  a  shot  sounded. 
Douglas  Courtenay  stepped  over  Craft's 
jerking  body  and  caught  the  little  figure, 
holding  the  smoking  revolver,  in  his  arms. 
"Ivuth  !"  he  cried,  "Oh  my  darling " 

She  did  not  look  at  him.  "I  thought  it 
was  the  Si)aniard,"  he  felt  her  shudder. 
"This  afternoon  when  he  brought  me  here 
I  stole  this  from  his  pocket — to  use  when 
he  came  back — "  she  sighed,  shuddering, 
and  her  weight  grew  heavy.  Douglas 
Courtenay  gathered  her  in  his  arms  and 
strode  down  the  stairs,  stopping  only  for 
a  word  with  those  who  were  hurrying  up 
in  answer  to  the  shot. 

"Accidental  death — I'll  see  to  that !"  the 
old  boss  said  with  a  kind  of  pride  in  his 
]>ower,  "after  the  formalities  are  over  I'll 
come  to  your  hotel.  Be  gentle,  boy,  and 
dont  say  too  much !  Sure  it's  words  that 
do  more  harm  than  bullets  in  the  world !" 

But  when  Ruth  opened  reluctant  eyes, 
moments  or  hours  later,  to  find  herself 
held  in  her  husband's  arms,  there  were  no 
words  needed  between  them.  For  the 
deep  lines  of  suffering  in  his  face  begged 
her  "Forgive!"  and  the  look  in  his  eyes 
said  "Love."  With  a  little  sigh  of  content 
she  nestled  closer  and  answered  both  by 
lifting  her  lips  to  his  kiss. 


The  Celluloid  Critic 

{Continued  from  page  100) 

Charlie  Ray  mis-cast  as  the  slangy  prize 
fighter  hero  of  George  M.  Cohan's  fa- 
mous opus.  Has  the  little  human  Ray 
touches  but  lacks  Jerome  Storm's  direct- 
ing hand.  Remember  how  Storm  could 
work  you  up  to  a  pitch  of  fine  enthusiasm 
over  the  sale  of  a  mere  bond?  This  is 
utterly  flat.  Probably  you  will  like  Doro- 
thy Devore  as  the  heroine. 

"Civilian  Clothes." — The  likable  Tho- 
mas Meighan  in  Thompson  Buchanan's 
drama  built  about  the  handsome  soldier 
who  isn't  so  handsome  when  he  dons  his 
"civies."  Cut  and  dried  direction  by 
Hugh  Ford  results  in  a  colorless  picture. 
Martha  Mansfield  is  pretty  but  fearfully 
inadequate  dramatically. 

"SometJting  to  Think  About."  —  This 
— the  latest — Cecil  de  Mille  offering  will 
interest  you.  De  Mille  has  deserted  sex 
for  the  spiritual  uplift,  and  he  shows 
what  the  power  of  right  thinking  will  do. 
We  wish  we  had  more  space  to  devote  to 
this,  for  it  deserves  extended  comment. 
De  Mille  hits  several  very  effective  the- 
atrical moments.  Gloria  Swanson  is 
more  varied  than  ever  before.  Elliott 
De-xter  plays  sympathetically,  and  The- 
odore Roberts  is  a  strong  and  winning 
figure. 


Gray  Hair  Disappears

A  Scientific  Discovery 


Science  has  discovered  a  way  to  restore  gray  hair  to  its  original 
natural  color. 

Not  by  old-time  crude  dyes  so  distasteful  to  dainty  women.  But 
by  a  scientific  hair  color  restorer. 

Women  have  long  been  waiting  for  this  discovery.  AH  women 
want   to    end    gray    hair.      Vet    few    have    wanted    to    use   greasy    d\es. 

Now  women  no  longer  hesitate.  Thousands  have  already  used  this 
scientific  hair  color  restorer.  And  many  more  thousands  are  learning 
of  its  wonderful  results. 

A  Convincing  Test 

Mary  T.  GoIdman's»Scientific  Hair  Color  Restorer  is  a  clear,  pure, 
colorless  liquid.     You  appi}-  it  yourself. 

All  that  is  necessary  is  to  comb  it  through  the  hair.  In  from  4  to  8 
days  your  hair  will  have  been  restored  to  its  natural  color.  It  leaves 
the  hair  soft  and  fluffy.     It  will  not  fade  or  wash  off.

How  to  Obtain  Beautiful,  Rich, 
Long,  Eyelashes   and    Brows! 

EVERY  WOMAN  should  be  the  rightful  owner  of  beautiful  eyes,  the  essentials  of 
which  are.  First:  Long,  rich  eyelashes;  and  Second:  Well-cared-for  eyebrows.  No 
matter  what  color  your  eyes  may  be, — gray,  brown  or  blue. — if  they  are  shaded 
by  thick,   silky  lashes,  and  well-shaped  brows,  their  charm  is  greatly  accentuated. 

Nowadays,  no  one  needs  to  be  the  dissatisfied  possessor  of  short,  thin,  uneven  brows 
and  lashes;  you  can  greatly  assist  Nature  by  simply  applying  a  httle  of  M.  T.'s  Eyelash 
and  Eyebrow  Beautifier  at  night.  This  scientific  preparation  nourishes  the  eyebrows  and 
eyelashes,  causing  them  to  become  gradually  thick  and  lustrous,  imparting  sparkling  ex- 
pression to  the  eyes,   and  added  charm  to  the  face. 

M.  T.'s  Eyelash  and  Eyebrow  Beautifier,  which  has  been  successfully  used  by  thous- 
ands, is  Guaranteed  absolutely  harmless;  it  is  not  a  greasy,  sticky  salve,  but  a  clean, 
nicely-perfumed  liquid,  in  a  cut  glas'-  bottle  with  glass  stopper  and  applicator.  The  cut 
represents  actual  size  of  bottle.  The  active  principle  of  this  valuable  article  is  a  rare  and 
expensive  organic  concentration  whic'  >  unequalled  for  the  purpose  of  stimulating  and 
strengthening  the  particular  follicles  which  produce  rich,  dark  eyelashes. 

MONEY   REFUNDED   IF  NOT  SATISFACTOI^Y 
Upon   receipt   of   75c  in   stamps,   min   or   Money   Order,   T    will   sfnd   you  postpaid,  in  plain 
wrapper,  a  bottle   of    M.   T.'s    Kyi-I.-is'i  and    Eyebrow    Ut-autificr   together   with   my   copyrighted 
booklet   on    Beauty    Hinti

Dead    Men 
Tell   No  Tales 


Tlie  Amazing  Interview 

(Conl'mucd  from  f'ai/c  01) 

ill  his  braiul-ncw  limousine  ami  now  you 
have  come  to  interview  me!"  Ami  she 
sighed  again. 

If  only  I  had  been  a  cynic! 
Marie  does  not  always  plan  to  remain 
in  comedv.  Mr.  R:>aeh  has  been  dcvelop- 
ini;  plans  for  the  productitjn  of  scrums 
drama  and  has  urs;ed  diat  she  stay  with 
him  a  little  longer --until  he  can  put  his 
plans  into  efTcct.  It  is  very  probable  that 
she  will.  At  least,  if  she  maintains  her 
l)resent  record,  she  will  never  be  very  far 
away,  for  she  has  never  in  all  her  life 
been  out  of  the  city  of  I.os  Angeles! 

"But  that's  not  half  so  silly  as  the  fact 
that  I've  never  ridden  on  a  railroad  tram  !" 
She  is  delightfully  aware  of  her  own 
uniqueness ;  a  uniijueness,  by  the  way,  m 
which  a  jirofessional  generosity  is  no  small 
factor.  It  seemed  to'me  that  in  her  I  hail 
discovered  the  epitome  of  the  spirit  of  the 
Rolin  studio — surely  the  most  cheery  m 
Los  Angeles. 

She  told  me  of  a  brief  talk  with  Harold 
Lloyd  just  before  my  arrival. 

"He  knew  the  moment  he  came  in  the 
room  that  1  was  terribly  upset  about  some- 
thing and,  of  course,  when  I  wouldn't  tell 
him  what  it  was  he  only  grew  more  curi- 
ous. In  the  end  I  gave  in— somehow  one 
always  does  give  in  to  Harold — and  con- 
fessed that  I  was  about  to  be  inter\-iewed, 
and  that  I  was  dying  of  fear  that  you'd 
forgotten  me.  and  that  it  wasn't  really 
for  the  Classic  after  all  .  .  .  But 
Harold  laughed  at  me  and  promi.sed  not 
In  tell  anyone.  You  see,  I  dont  want 
anvone  to  know  until  it  actually  comes 
out  in  print.  Then  I  shall  take  it  to  Mr. 
Roach  and  say,  'There!  Now  see  what 
you've  done  to  me !'  " 

In  her  home,  a  bungalow  in  Hollywood 
where  she  lives  with  her  mother,  Marie  is 
much  the  same  as  at  the  studio;  a  little 
less  restrained  perhaps,  with  the  actress 
side  of  her  for  the  moment  obliterated, 
the  chum  of  a  splendid  collie  dog,  whom 
she  has  brought  up  since  his  third  day  on 
this  earthly  globe.  That  he  is  burdened 
with  the  conventiimal  name  of  "Shep" 
makes  him  none  the  less  beloved. 

In  common  with  so  many,  many  other 
voung  actresses  Marie  is  a  worshipper  of 
the  elder  Talmadge.  To  be  somewhat  like 
her,  to  accomplish  something  of  her  suc- 
cess, to  achieve  a  tithe  of  her  perfection 
.  .  .  that  would  be  enough.  .She  asks 
no  more.  But  like  all  others  who  will 
ever  rise  to  any  greatness  Marie  is  so  es- 
sentially herself  that  she  ctaild  never  be 
a  second  anybody.  She  must  be  an  "only" 
or  nothing  at  all. 

I  was  still  persistent.  I  wanted  a 
glimpse  of  her  inner  .self.  There  had 
seemed  to  be  a  reserve,  and  so  I  said 
again:  "But  tcl!  me  something  of  your- 
self, something  that  is  not  of  your  work, 
nor  of  your  dog.  but  just  of  yon." 

"I  ?"  She  looked  rather  frightened,  but 
look  heart  at  my  smile.  When  the  words 
came  they  came  suddenly,  as  if  tliey  had 
at  last  broken  out  of  a  secret  chamber  of 
her  heart  .  .  .  "Oh,  I  just  want  to  1m' 
good,  good  now  and  always!" 
I  f  only  1  had  been  a  cynic !

APE    you   GOING   TO 

MEASURE  UP 

TO     HER    VISION 

OF       MAN  MOOD 


Are  You  Physically  Fit? 

Do  yoii  look  forward  serenely,  coiifulciilly.  towards  tlie  day  when  you  will  wed 
the  girl  you  chcrisli?  Do  you  sec  in  your  day  dreams  a  loving,  admiring  wife 
and  sturdy  children  of  your  own  llesh  and  hlood  and  a  dear  little,  hapjiy  home? 
This  is  the  picture  every  man  ought  to  he  ahle  some  day  to  realize.  But  j'ou  may 
be  one  of  the  thousands,  who,  for  one  reason  or  another  —  known  only  to  yourself 
perhaps — have  stumbled  into  youthful  errors  which  have  discouraged  and  weakened 
you  and  made  you  almost  hopeless  of  ever  being  hap])ily  married.  You  fear  the 
consequences  of  deception.  You  hesitate  to  make  love,  lest  you  make  a  miserable 
mess  of  soitie  sweet  girl's  life.     Life  looks  mighty  gloomy  to  you. 

But  don't  be  disheartened.  There  is  hope  for  even  the  frailest  of  humanity,  for 
both  sexes  of  whatever  age. 

My  Hand  is  Held  Out  To  You  In  Friendship — 
I  Want  To  Help  You 

Strongfortism  has  lifted  tliousands  of  weak,  ailing,  impotent,  discouraged  men  out  of 
the  bog  of  hopelessness  and  despair  and  placed  iheiii  on  the  broad,  straight  road  to  health, 
happiness  and  prosperity.  Sirtin.^:fortism  lias  restored  the  manhood  they  had  destroyed 
and  thon;2rht  they  had  lost  forever  and  given  the  renewed  vitality,  ambition  and  the  power 
to  DO  THINGS  in  the  world.  Strongfortism  has  enabled  them  to  beget  children  who 
will  make  citizens  of  wliom  both  they  and  their  country  will  be  proud. 

And  you  do  want  cliildren,  don't  3'ou?  Of  course  you  do — and  you  shall  be  a  proud 
father,  with  healthy  kiddies  at  your  feet,  if  you  listen  to  my  advice  and  take  my  hand  and 
let  nic  help  you  to  be  a  real  man. 

STRONGFORTISM 

Is  A  Science  In  Itself 

Strongfortism  is  a  long  stride  ahead  of  any  so-called  physical  culture  course  or  system 
that  you  know  of.  It  embraces  al!  the  essentials  of  such  systems,  but  is  not  limited  to 
them — it  goes  far  beyond,  reaching  out  to  a  variety  of  Nature's  aids,  employing  them  to  an 
advantage  that  brings  surprising  results  to  every  Strongfort  follower. 
I  banisli  all  drugs  and  medicmes  and  clumsy  devices  intended  to  re- 
lieve disease.  I  get  results  that  are  most  astounding  because  my  plan 
is  so  simple — my  instructions  so  easily  followed.

MOTION   PICTURE  CLASSIC 

Gossip  of  the  Eastern  Studios 

{Continued  from  page  51) 

the  1)ig  climax,  standing  and  cheering. 
iJIlian  Gish,  DicU  Bartheltness  and 
1 -Dwell  Sherman  were  present  and  the 
audience  insisted  upon  a  speech  from 
Miss  Gish.  Mr.  Griffith  was  also  called 
upon.  Mary  Hay  (Mrs.  Barthelmess) 
was  unable  to  be  present,  being  on  a  visit 
to  relatives  in  Oslikosh,  Wis. 

News  has  reached  New  York  of  the 
death  of  Susanne  Grandais,  "the  Mary 
Pickford  of  France,"  in  Paris.  Some  of 
her  films  reached  this  country  from  the 
French   Gaumont  studios. 

The  usual  autumn  business  changes 
have  been  i  nder  way.  Samuel  Goldwyn 
lias  resigned  as  president  and  F.  J.  Godsol 
as  vice-president  of  Goldwyn  Pictures. 
Messmore  Kendall  was  made  managing- 
director,  pending  the  election  of  a  presi- 
dent. 

Vitagraph  announces  that  Antonio 
Moreno  is  at  last  to  be  shifted  from  serials 
to  features.     Good  news  this ! 

The  exodus  of  stars  to  the  other  side 
lias  continued  all  summer.  Ainong  those 
who  crossed  were  Norma  antl  Constance 
Talmadge.  Dorothy  Gish  and  Mrs.  Gish ; 
Mae  IMurray  and  her  husband,  Bob 
Leonard,  and  Mme.  Olga  Petrova.  Theda 
Bara  returned  and  went  on  tour  in  her 
stage  play,  "The  Blue  Flame."  She  is 
booked   for  a  tour  of  twenty  weeks. 

Tragedy  ended  the  Paris  visit  of  Olive 
Thomas  and  her  husband,  Jack  Pickford. 
Miss  Thomas  died  of  mercurial  poison- 
ing on  September  11. 

Alice  Joyce  called  Mrs.  Sydney  Drew 
from  her  camp  in  the  Adirondacks  to 
direct  her  in  a  Vitagraph  production, 
"Cousin  Kate."  Mrs,  Drew  may  do  an- 
other story  to  follow  "Cousin  Kate." 

Jerome  .Storm  was  secured  to  direct 
IJllian  Gish  in  her  first  star  production 
under  the  Sherrill  banner.  Miss  Gish 
has  experienced  considerable  delay  in  get- 
ting started,  owing  to  story  changes,  etc. 
Mr.  Stomi  will  start  work  on  Jerome 
Storm  Productions  sliortly,  a  million  dol- 
lar organization  having  been  comjileted. 

Much  interest  has  been  aroused  in  the 
East  over  the  reports  that  King  Vidor  is 
to  direct  Ralph  Connor's  "The  Sky-Pilot." 
This  will  be  the  next  Vidor  production 
to  follow  "The  Jack  Knife  Man,"  which 
scored  so  heavily  in  the  East.  Joseph 
Plunkett,  manager  of  the  New  York 
Strand  Theater,  called  it  the  best  film  he 
had  offered  this  year.

mitted  to  watch  scenes  being  taken.  Of 
the  actresses  present,  Marjorie  Daw  was 
by  far  their  favorite  and,  no  wonder,  for 
in  her  simple  but  smart  little  brown  taf- 
feta frock  she  looked  verj',  very  pretty. 
Then,  too,  one  couldn't  help  admiring  her 
charming  manner,  neither  affected  nor 
spoiled.  She  was  wholly  natural  and  a 
little  bit  shy  over  the  fuss  the  three  hun- 
dred middies  made  over  her.

For  Beautiful  Hair 

Take  the  advice  of  highest  medical  authorities 


IPVERVONE  (men,  women  and  children) 
-^  should  have  healthy  hair.  Nature  pro- 
vided it  in  the  beginning.  Proper  treatment 
will  preserve  it  through  life. 

The  most  eminent  authorities  have  pre- 
scribed the  way  to  prevent  the  loss  of  the 
hair's  life  and  luxuriance. 

Highest  authorities 

The  Council  of  the  American  Medical 
Association  (the  highest  authority  known) 
has  recognized  Resorcinol  Monoacetatc  for 
the  treatment  of  dandruff  (seborrheal 
eczema)  and  baldness  (alopecia-areata)  — 
the  common  foes  of  beautiful  hair.  Re- 
sorcinol Monoacetate  is  the  principal  ingre- 
dient of  "La  Creole"  Hair  Tonic.  Thus 
science  approves  this  wonderful  prepara- 
tion. Abundant  vigorous  hair  is  now  easily 
attained. 


Simple  directions 


Two  or  tbree  times  a  week  apply  "La  Creole" 
Hair  Tonic  to  the  scalp.  Moisten  the  liair  and 
scalp  thoroughly.  Massage  with  a  rotary  motion 
of  the  finger  tips.  Scalp  circulation  is  then  stimu- 
lated, the  hair  roots  supplied  with  needed  nourish- 
ment and  dandruff  quickly  eliminated.  Vou  will 
notice  an  immediate  improvement  in  the  loveliness 
of  your  hair. 

Proper  shampooing 

Absolute  cleanliness  is  essential  for  beautiful, 
healthy  hair.  The  scalp  ig  constantly  throwing  off 
old  skin  and  extraneous  substances.  If  the  pores 
and  hair  tubes  are  clogged  with  dirt  and  perspira- 
tion, a  healthy  condition  is  impossible.  Regularly 
every  ten  days  or  two  weeks  shampoo  the  hair 
thoroughly  with  "La  Creole"  Liquid  Shampoo. 

"La  Creole"  Liquid  Shampoo  is  made  from  an 
exclusive  Menthol  formula  of  purest  cocoanut  and 
cochin  oils.  Vou  will  instantly  notice  the  delightful, 
cooling  effect  from  its  use.  The  hair  becomes  soft 
and  lustrous — dries  quickly — and  the  scalp  and 
pores  glow  with  clean  JicaJth  and  vigor.  Always 
apply   "La   Creole"    Hair   Tonic   aftt-r   shampooing. 

When  purchasing  "La  Creole"  Liquid  Shampoo 
be  sure  to  get  "La  Creole"  Hair  Tonic  also,  be- 
cause the  formula  of  each  is  designed  to  aid  the 
other.

The  Oliver  Typewriter-Was  $100-Now  $64 

The  Guarantee  of  a  $2,000,000  Company  that  it  Is  the  Identical  Model 


Be  your  own  salesman  and  earn  $36  You 
get  the  identical  typewriter  formerly  priced 
$100  —  not  a  cent's  alteration  in  value.  The 
finest,  the  most  expensive,  the  latest  Oliver 
Model.  Old  methods  were  wasteful.  Our  new 
plan  is  way  in  advance.  It  is  in  keeping  with 
new  economic  tendencies.  It  does  away  with 
waste.     Inflated  prices  are  doomed  forever. 

During'  the  war  we  learned  that  it  was 
unnecessary  to  have  great  numbers  of  travel- 
ing salesmen  and  numerous,  expensive  branch 
houses  throughout  the  country.  We  were  also 
able  to  discontinue  many  other  superfluous, 
costly  sales  methods.  You  benefit  by  these 
savings. 

Brand  New — Latest  Model 

Do  not  confuse  this  with  offers  of  earlier 
models,    rebuilt  or  second-hand. 
Note  the  signature  of  this  adver- 
tisement.    This  is  a   $2,000,000 
concern. 

We  offer  new  Olivera  at  half 
price  because  we  have  put  type- 
writer selling  on  an  efficient, 
scientific  basis. 

You  can  now  deal  direct —  sell 
to  yourself,  with  no  one  to  influ- 
ence you.  This  puts  the  Oliver  on  a  merit  test. 

You  Save  $36  Now 

This  is  the  first  time  in  history  that  a  new 
standard  $100  typewriter  has  been  offered  for 
$64.  Remember,  we  do  not  offer  a  substitute 
model,  cheaper  nor  difl'erent.  But  the  same 
splendid  Oliver  used  by  the  big  concerns. 
Over  800,000  Olivers  have  been  sold. 


We  ship  direct  from  the  factory  to  you.  No 
money  dovra — no  red-tape.  Try  the  Oliver 
Nine  at  our  expense.  If  you  decide  to  keep 
it,  send  us  $4  per  month.  If  you  return  it, 
we  even  refund  the  out-going  transportation 
charges.  You  are  not  placed  under  the  slight- 
est obligation.    That's  our  whole  plan. 

We  rely  on  your  judgment.  We  know  you  don't 
■want  to  pay  double.  And  who  wants  a  lesser  type-

Screen  Stories  in 
Demand 

I5t-t(ire  sending;  >iiur  photoplays 
and  stories  out  on  tlie  marlcct,  ht- 
careful  to  have  them  lirst  put  in 
proper  form  and  language.  The 
"Detailed  Synopsis"  is  preferred 
hy  the  studios,  as  almost  every 
producing  company  now  has  its 
own  scenario  form,  and  it  would 
be  ;!n  utter  impossibilit)'  for  out- 
side ^vriters  to  learn  them  all. 
But,  a  "Detailed  Synopsis"  can 
he  used  by  any  company,  and,  if 
accepted,  will  be  "picturized"  by 
their  own  writers  to  suit  tlieir 
own    requirements. 

We  CRITICISE,  REVISE,  and 
T^'PE  photoplays  and  stories  at 
reasonable  rates,  which  will  be 
furnished  on  application.  After 
REVISION,  we  return  the  same 
Carbon  Copy  and  Original,  to 
the  writer,  along  with  a  complete 
list  of  PRODUCING  COM- 
PANIES, to  whom  scripts  may  be 
sent  directly.  This  is  the  methcjd 
now  universally  adopted  by  both 
studios  and  writers,  and  it  has 
been  found  to  work  adrairabl), 
as  it  is  a  distinct  advantage  to 
the  \vritcrs,  who  tlms  come  into 
personal  touch  \\-ith  the  Studio 
Editors   and    Directors. 

Mr.  T.  Herbert  Chesnut  ("Allan 
Douglas  Brodie"),  short  story

OUT  of  _  "the  raiuljow  gleams  of  her  youthful 
drcaiiis"'  liris  come  The  l,itat  Reward  !  The 
hapi'y  spquel  lo  all  hi^-r  Imriuiig  hopes — her  eager 
nspirations!  The  magazine  editor  has  accepted  her 
story.     His  letter  brings  the  liappy  news. 

She  moves  as  one  in  a  daze  "Can  it  really  he 
true?"  she  asks  herself  iiver  and  over.  And  all  the 
while  she  i^lows  with  the  pride  of  authorship,  her 
aspiring  spirit  transformed  in  the  bewilderment  of 
this  new   triumph.      'Tis   life's   deepest   moment   for    her. 

She  has  crossed  the  Golden  Rnhican!  Enthralled, 
she  stands  upon  the  llircshnid  of  a  New  T-ifel  She  is 
..t  last— '-AN  .\rTHORF.SS!"  The  story  she  has 
written,  filled  with  frcsli,  bright  realism,  stirring  inci- 
dent and  sparkling  dialogue  — written  out  of  her  very 
heart— i>ainted  in  glowing  words  upon  the  Screen  of 
Romance,    will    be    read    by    thousands,    thousands! 

Hut  yesterday,  in  Iicr  girlish  fancy,  she  deeply  en- 
vied those  who  live  ami  inuvc  in  that  fascinating 
sphere,  the  Realm  of  Authorslii|i.  But  \esterday  her 
hrpes  mingled  with  her  fears,  her  doubts  of  herself. 
her  simple  lack  of  faith  in  her  ability  "TO  WRITE." 
Hut  yesterday  she  deemed  well-nigh  impossible  the 
triumph   that   has  come  to  her  today! 

But  yesterday  her  life  was  a  dull,  drear  grind  in  a 
<lcpartnient  store.  In  her  little  niche  behind  the 
notion  counter  her  girl's  soul  was  slowly  shriveling. 
The  drab,  grey  life  was  deadening  every  spark  of  hope 
within  her.  Thinking  of  her  youth  and  yearnings, 
she  would  oft'  hopefully  rc]icat  to  herself  those  lines 
from  some  beautiful  book.  "It  is  the  Spring!  It  is 
the  Spring!  And  Life  is  so  hT'LL  of  Flowers!  Ah, 
surely  some  of  them  arc  Ml  NIC!"  Hut  there  was  the 
monotony,  the  dull  servitude,  froni  S  to  6 — it  never 
\  aried — it  went  on  and  on  and  on— a  dumb  fate  that 
seemed  to  stare  lier  in  the  face  forever,  just  as  it 
might  be  pictured  in  a  story  by  O.  Henry. 

Xiit  that  all  girls  are  unhaijpy  who  work  in  stores, 
but  she — she  dreamed  of  higlier  things.  She  wanted 
more  out  of  life  than  the  grey,  humdrum  existence. 
Why  should  Success  be  a  thing  OTHERS  could  attain 
and  not  she?  She  had  two  good  hands  and  a  brain 
—she  was  intelligent,  observing,  and  though  not  a 
L-enius,  surely,  she  told  herself,  she  could  learn  to  write 
stories  as  good  as  hundreds  she  had   seen. 

One  day  her  svveel- faced  mother  noticed  a  small 
ailvertisement  in  a  niaga/ine.  It  said:  "Free  to  writers 
-this  wonderful  book.  Tells  How  to  Write  Plays 
and  Stories."  "Here.  Dorothy  dear,"  said  Mrs.  Dean, 
■'here  is  something  about  writing  stories  and  plays. 
Here's  a  concern  ofl'ering  a  free  book  on  the  sub- 
ject. Why  not  get  it?  See  what  they  can  do  for 
you?  Vou  never  can  tell — maybe  you  really  can 
fearn  how  to  write  the  way  you've  dreamed  so  long, 
."Hid  just  think   how  wonderful  that  would  be!" 

The  Authors'  Press  has  this  young  woman's  letter 
I'll  file.  She  wrote  for  our  free  book — and  the  picture 
;dio\e  tells  the  happy   sc<|nel. 

7/ri.t  is  a  true  storv,  as  startliiiu  us  it  is  rnmatCtlc, 
inij  lu-ic  is  the  most  startling  thi»a  of  all — a  re- 
markahlc  discovery  that  '>vill  thrill  atyibitions  vicn 
•mil  zi'omcit  of  all  aacs  thrmiohout  the  zcorld !  The 
.tis.-oz-crv  is  that:  MILLIONS  OF  PEOPLE  CAN 
WRITE"  STORIES  AND  PHOTOPLAYS  AND 
nON'T    KNOW    IT! 

fXinc) 


For  years  the  mistaken  idea  prevailed  that  you  bad  to 
have  a  special  knack  in  order  to  write.  People  said  it 
was  a  gift,  a  talent.  Some  imagined  you  had  to  be  an 
Emotional  Genius  with  long  hair  and  strange  ways. 
They  vowed  it  was  no  use  to  try  unless  you'd  been 
touched  by  the  Magic  Wand  of  the  Muse.  They  dis- 
couraged   attempts    nf    ambitious    people    to    express    them- 


Vet  only  recently  a  great  English  literary  authority 
declared  that  "nearly  all  the  English-sf'eaking  rare 
uantto  write!  It's  a  crai-ing  for  sctf-c.rt'ressioH,  char- 
actcristic  of  the  present  ccntifry." 

So  a  new  light  has  dawned !  A  great  New  Truth 
that  will  gladden  the  hearts  of  "all  the  English-speak- 
ing race  who  want  to  write!"  Astounding  new  ps>cho- 
togicai  exiieriments  have  revealed  that  "the  average 
person"  inav  learn  to  write!  Yes.  write  stories  and 
photoplays;  thrilling,  human,  life-like;  filled  with  hc.irt- 
tbrobs.    pathos,    passion,   pain. 

V(>ir  i(((iv  Ictirii  it  just  as  \oii  dm  v  Iruni  aii\tliinff  else 
under  the  sint  f  There  are  certain  simple,  easy  prin- 
ciples to  guide  you.  There  are  new  methods  that 
produce  astonishing  results  for  beginners.  A  remark- 
able New  System,  covering  every  phase  of  writing, 
has  been  perfected  by  a  great  literary  bureau  at  Au- 
burn, New  ^'ork,  now  busily  supplying  this  infor- 
mation broadcast.  And  this  New  Method  of  writin : 
stories  and  photoplays  is  d'Cryhody's  property.  Not  for 
the  select  fcxi:  Nm  for  those'  specialty  gifted.  Not  for 
the  rich  or  fortunate,  but  for  men  and  '  women  of 
ordinary  cdueatioii  ami  no  writing  experience  whatever 
— thousands     who     don't     even     dream    they     can     write! 

This  institution  at  Auburn  is  the  world's  school  for 
inexpericTiced  authors — a  literary  institute  for  all  hu- 
manity. .Vnd  e':'erybody  is  taking  up  the  idea  of 
ti'jiVifry.  The  fascination  has  swept  the  country  by 
storm!  People  are  dumbfounded  at  the  ease  with  which 
they    learn    to   write! 

You  know  it  was  Shakespeare  who  said :  "All  the 
world's  a  stage  and  all  the  men  and  women  merely 
players."  Life's  stage  all  around  you  is  filled  with 
people  and  incidents  that  will  make  stories  without 
number.  From  the  great  Screen  of  Humanity  and 
its  constantly  changing  tide  of  Human  Emotions — 
Love.  Hatred,  jealousy,  Happiness~you  can  create 
endless  interesting  |ilots  for  stories  and  photoplays. 
There  is  never  a  lack  -it  flows  on  in  an  Endless  Stream 
of  Circumstance  —  like  Tennyson's  brook  —  foreverl 
Every  person  you  know  is  a  type,  a  character. 
"Every  house  has  a  story."  And  those  who  dwell  within 
have  impulses,  ideas,  hopes,  fears,  fancies  that  funiish 
material  for  vnu.  The  daily  newspaiiers  are  tilled 
to  the  brim.  The  Footlights  of  Fate  reflect  scenes  and 
incidents    for    the    Pen   of    Realism. 

There  is  nothing  in  all  this  world  that  so  dominates 
the  heart  and  mind  as  the  fascination  of  WRITING. 
It  gives  you  a  new  power,  a  new  magic,  that  charm.i 
all  those  around  you.  It  lends  a  new  attraction  to 
your  entire  personality.  Authorship  carries  with  it 
new  honors,  admiration,  respect — in  addition  to  glorious 
material   rewards. 

THERE  TS  A  NEW  BOOK  AWAITING  YOV 
THAT  AMAZES  EVERY  RKAOER— and  the  most

Facts  about  her  skin 


"  The  dear^  smooth^fla'idess  cumpUsion 
you  longjor—does  tl  seem  to  you  a  special 
gift  oj  nature  (hat  only  ajortuiiale  Jew 
can  hope  to  possess? 


that  every  girl  should  know 


Is  your  skin  a  constant  source  of 
worry  to  you?  Do  you  find  its 
care  continually  perplexing? 
Tlie  clear,  smiMith,  flawless  complex- 
ion you  long  for  —  does  it  seem  to 
you  a  special  gilt  of  nature  that  only 
a  fortunate  few  can  hope  to  possess? 

You  arc  wrong  if  you  think  that 
a  hcauritul  skin  comes  merely  as  the 
result  of  good  fortune.  Any  girl,  by 
giving  the  skin  the  special  care  its 
special  needs  demand,  can  win  the 
charm  ot  a  smooth,  clear,  soft  com- 
plexion. 

How  to  keep  your  skin 
fine  in  texture 

Perhaps  the  pores  ot  your  skin  are 
becoming  enlarged.  If  so;  your  skin 
is  not  functioning  properly  —  the 
pores  are  not  contracting  and  ex- 
panding as  they  should.  To  restore 
your  skin  to  healthy,  normal  activity 
and  give  it  back  the  tine,  smooth 
delicacy   it   should   have,    begin    to- 


night  to  give  it   this  special    treat- 
ment: 

Just  before  you  go  to  bed,  dip  your 
w.-ishcloch  in  very  warm  water  and  holj 
it  to  your  face.  Now  talte  a  calvc  c. 
Woodbury's  Facial  Soap,  dip  it  in 
water,  and  rub  the  cake  itself  over 
your  skin.  Leave  the  slight  coatineot" 
soap  on  a  few  minutes  until  your  face 
feels  drawn  and  dry.  Then  dampen 
the  skin  and  rub  the  soap  in  gently 
with  an  upward  and  outward  motion. 
Rinse  your  face  thoroughly,  first  in 
tepid  water,  then  in  cold.  Whenever 
possible,  finish  by  rubbing  your  face 
with  a  pieie  of  /Ve. 

Use  this  treatment  persistentiv, 
and  it  will  bring  about  a  marked  im- 
provement in  your  skin's  texture. 

.Special  treatments  for  each  dif- 
ferent skin  condition  are  given  in

HOPE  HAMPTON 

Miss  Hampton  is  about  to  make  her  second  stellar  appearance  in  "The  Bait, '  a  melo- 
drama of  international  intrigue 


SYLVIA  BREAMER 

Miss  Breamer  is  bringing  "Athalie,"  one  of  Robert  W.  Chamber  s  heroines,  to  the  silver- 
sheet  in  the  Mayflower  production  of  that  nam? 


The  entrance  of 
Otis  Skinner  into 
the  celluloid 
world  marked  the 
inevitable  sur- 
render of  all  the 
great  stage  ce- 
lebrities to  the 
lure  of  the  screen. 
Mr.  Skinner  will 
be  seen  shortly  in 
a  film  version  of 
his  former  stage 
success,  "Kismet" 


•  <TjO\V  did  you 

I  I  h  a  |)  p  e  II  to 
*  *  fall  for  the 
hated  movies?"  thus 
1  greeted  Otis  Skin- 
ner, very  nearly  the 
only  great  actor  on 
our  stage  today,  who 
has  up  to  this  time 
zealously  repudiated 
any  art  in  pictures 
and  steadfastly  re- 
fused munificent  of- 
fers to  see  himself  as  others  sec  him. 

"Why  pick  on  nie,"  he  retorted,  "1  kndw 
dozens  of  actors  riglit  Iiere  in  Hollywood 
who  hate  i>ictures  .  .  .  hut — the  money  .  .  ." 

I  pricked  up  my  ears,  this  promised  to 
be  an  extraordinary  interview. 

"Seriously."  he  aililed.  "  'Kismet'  is  go- 
ing to  be  a  very  beautiful  picture." 

He  motioned  to  the  scene  on  the  bor- 
der line  of  which  we  were  sitting.  It  was 
the  harem  scene  from  "Kismet"  which  .Mr. 
Skinner  played  .so  long  and  so  successfidly 
on  the  stage.  M  our  feet  lapped  the  C(m)1. 
green  water  of  the  sunken  swimming  pool. 
beyond  rose  the  purple  and  gold  walls  of 
the  palace.  Enormotis  silken  cushions,  as 
wide  and  broad  and  deep  as  1  am  tall, 
were  huddled  invitingly  against  pajiier- 
mache  marble  pillars.  In  llie  background 
an  accordion  player  wailed  fragments  of 


Shadowing 
Kismet 


all  the  haunting  old  love  songs.  The  mechanics  of  the 
movies,  that  pitiless  hanime  ng  of  stage  carpenters  and 
electricians,  was  strangely  absent.  The  illusion  was  as 
perfect  as  if  we  had  been  in  front  of  the  footlights. 
•A'en  tlie  rustle  of  the  queen  of  the  harem's  beads 
sounded  a  note  of  something  imminent,  somethinsr 
great  nni)endnig. 

"When  you  finish  'Kismet'  will  you  do  another  pic- 
ture?" 1   infjuired. 

"It  all  depends  how  this  jiicture  turns  out,"  he  rc- 
])lied;  "if  1  am  rotten  in  tliis,  never  again!  If  it  is 
a  success,  I  sliall  undoubtedly  do  others." 

.And  right  there  one  touches  tlie  chord  of  Otis 
Skinner's  being.  He  has  no  desire  to  be  attached,  be 
it  ever  so  ephemerally,  to — a  failure.  \Vhat  he  does 
must  be  of  the  very  best  caliber.  He  loves  most  that 
which  attracts  the  greatest  success.  He  has  jiassed  be- 
yond the  ])ersistent  stage  of  youth  which  stubhornlv 
stamps  its  foot  and  hews  and  whacK.>  its  way  out  of 
the  barriers  that  hinder  it.  Otis  Skinner  has  reached 
tlie  age  where  a  rough  road  in  life  means  a  detimr. 
His  is  the  philosophy  of  the  person  who  has  arrive<l. 

He  has  long  since  pass- 
ed the  stage  of  growing 
pains.  He  sees  life  as  it 
is.  Is  the  gossamer  veil 
of  romance  rent  into 
shreds,  you  ask?  \o, 
indeed — for  his  is  tlie 
jiovver  to  recreate  ro- 
mance. Sitting  in  the 
green  glare  of  the  Klieg- 
lights,  he  recounted  for 
me  the  story  of  'Kismet.' 
and  by  the  tones  of  his 
voice   alone   transported

me  into  a  story-book 
world — but  the  false 
sentimentality  of 
yoiitb  is  gone.  It  is 
not  likely  that  he 
wonld  mope  over  the 
past,  or  long  for  a 
departed  favorite. 
He  is  interested  sole- 
ly in  the  play  of  to- 
flay.  The  play  that 
attract.^  the  widest 
popular  applause  is 
tlie  one  he  loves  the 
best. 

He  says  that  stage 
people  are  not  com- 
pletely understood. 
He  quoted  Henry 
Arthur  Jones  as  say- 
ing, "all  actors  are 
rotters"  and  then 
added  "that  erudite 
gentleman  tried  to 
write  plays  for  the 
'rotters.'  Of  course, 
he  failed. 

"Many  actors 
make  the  mistake  of 
thinking  the  ap- 
plause, the  notes,  the 
flowers  are  tributes 
to  them  personally 
and  become  big- 
headed  or  pig-headed 
as  the  case  may  be. 
That  is  why  you  see 
the  strutters,  the 
poseurs.  The  audi- 
ence is  perpetually 
mistaking  the  part 
the  player  is  playing 
,with  the  man  him- 
self. They  ascribe  to 
him  all  the  virtues  of 
the  stage  cliaracter 
he  is  portraying, 
while  in  real  life  he 
may  go  home  and 
beat  his  wife." 

"W  hat  do  y  o  u 
think  of  matinee 
girls  ?"  I  asked. 

"Matinee    girls? 
Ciod  bless  them  !    Where  would  we  be  without  them?    We  have 
to  have  someone  to  buy  the  tickets,  you  know." 

Otis  Skinner  is  a  jovial  gentleman  with  a  vast  fund  of  humor. 
He  possesses  all  the  witticism  of  the  accomplished  raconteur. 
This  is  as  it  should  be,  for  all  that  is  best  in  the  traditions  of 
the  stage  are  a  part  of  him.  All  that  is  best  in  literature  and 
art,  he  is  familiar  with. 

In  spite  of  his  erstwhile  persistent  hatred  of  the  silent  drama, 
he  has  not  entered  it  with  ignorance.  He  now  goes  to  see  movies 
indefatigably.  He  knew  what  others  had  done  and  were  doing 
in  the  shadows  before  he  stepped  into  the  camera's  glare. 

What  he  hates  most  about  pictures  is  their  trite  melodrama, 
their  persistent  namby-pambyness ;  what  he  likes  about  them 
is  their  ability  to  present  the  beautiful. 

fScvcttteen) 


He  said,  "People  told  me  I 
should  find  a  vast  difference  in 
the  mechanics  of  the  movies  and 
the  stage.  I  see  very  little  dif- 
ference in  the  required  methods. 
A  little  slowing  down  of  action 
to  give  the  camera  time  to  reg- 
ister— that's  all." 

Mr.  Skinner  is  tremendously 
interested  in  all  that  pertains  to 

his  picture,  "Kismet."     He   wants  the  scenes  to  be  the  most 

beautiful  that  have  ever  been  erected.     He  is  enthusiastic  over 

the  costumes  and  he  marvels  at  the  way  a  whole  city  street

Mr.  Skinner's  family  is  a 
happy  one.  He  is  tremen- 
dously proud  of  his  daugh- 
ter who  has  just  completed 
a  two  years'  course  at 
Bryn  Mawr  College.  She 
is  playing  a  small  part  in 
"Kismet"  and  goes  to

When  James  Kirkwood 
made  his  screen  debut,  the 
majority  of  the  now- 
known  "pioneers"  were 
"extras"  at  the  studio, 
making  five  dollars  a  day. 
He  became  a  director  after 
playing  every  kind  of  part 
in  one-  and  two-reelers, 
and  finally  joined  the  Fa- 
mous Players,  where  he 
directed  Jack  Barrymore, 
Hazel  Dawn  and  Florence 
Reed.  Now  he  has  again 
taken  up  the  grease-paint, 
and.  judging  from  his 
popularity  as  a  player  he 
won't  have  much  oppor- 
tunity to  discard  it

THERES  an  intangible  something  to  James 
Kirkwood  which  you  simply  have  to  describe 
as  "personality."  Not  that  it  is  expressed 
either  in  a  loud  voice  or  a  jazz  shirt,  after  the 
fa-l'ion  of  some  of  our  other  screen  leading  men, 
but,  nevertheless,  it's  all  there. 

Kirkwood  has  come  back  to  the  screen  after 
quite  a  lengthy  directorial  absence.  The  traditional 
grease-paint  and  handsome-hero  stuff  is  a  relief. 
he  says,  af;>  r  ihe  strenuous  duties  of  a  megaphone 
manipulator,  and  hereafter  he's  quite  satisfied  to 
leave  the  direction  end  of  tlie  movie  game  to  what- 
ever gentlemen  may  be  disjiosed  to  shoulder  its 
burdens. 

The  solid  comfort  enjoyed  only  by  that  variety 
of  the  human  sjiecies  known  as  motion  picture 
stars — the  solid  comfort  relative  to  having  even 
the  minutest  speck  of  dust  brushed  from  the  coat- 
tail  of  one's  suit  by  a  fourth-assistant  property 
boy,  was  being  enjoyed  by  Kirkwood  when  I  cor- 
nered him  in  a  brilliantly  lighted  cuhby-holc  nf  a 
stage  at  Ince's,  where  he  is  working  in  a  Cdaum 
picture. 

Kirkwood  enjoyed  himself  ostensibly.  Oh,  so 
ostensibly!  In  fact,  as  ostensibly  as  only  one  who 
is  accust'ome<l  to  the  joys  of  an  aclorial  existence 
can  possibly  enjoy  himself.  L.inguidly  he  held  up 
one  arm  while  "props"  with  a  whiskbroom  hacked 
away  at  a  dust  smear.  A  broad  smile  o'erspread 
the  kirkwood  countenance. 

"Oh,"  he  almost  yawned,  "I'm  so  lazy.  So 
<larned  lazy!  Too  lazy,  even,  to  doll  myself  up. 
And  very  liappy !  This  is  the  penalty  one  pays  for

Theda  Bara

WOL'LD  you  like  to  know  the  real  'riiecla 
I'ara?  Perhaps  you  wonder  if  there  is 
a  rcn}  'I'heda  Bara  and  not  just  a  reel  one, 
after  the  many  contradictory  things  you  liave 
read  ahout  her  in  magazines,  newsjjapers,  etc. 
X'ictor  Hugo,  1  helieve,  said,  ".Art  is  a  corner  of 
life  seen  thru  a  ])ers()nality,"  and  if  1  may  lie 
lierniitted  to  paraphrase,  "A  personality  is  a 
corner  of  life  seen  thru  a  press- 
agent  or  an  interviewer.  It 
is  a  diflicult  task,  indeed,  for 
any  one  to  tell  the  exact  truth 
about  any  person,  and  more 
especially  if  that  person  is  an 
artist  who  is  a  strange  mixture 
of  moods,  ])aradoxes  and  com- 
])lexities — but  this  is  the  task 
that  I,  her  mother,  have  set  for 
myself. 

In  the  four-and-a-half  years 
that  Theda  Bara  has  served  you 
— her  fans  and  friends — much 
that  was  malicious,  cruel  and 
untrue  has  been  written  about 
her  and  I  feel  that  the  time  has 
come  when  one  who  knows  lier 
in  the  most  intimate  sense  possi- 
ble should  at  least  attempt  some- 
thing that  represents  a  true  pre- 
sentation— or  close-up  of  Iier- 
self,  if  you  prefer. 

To  those  of  you  who  have 
grown  to  love  her — and  there  are 
many,  (jod  bless  you — my  task 
is  an  easy  one.  To  those  of  you 
who  hold  otherwise,  you  at  least, 
in  your  hearts,  have  the  desire  to 
see  fair-play  —  to  render  unto

this  article  with  an  open-mind-

others  as  you  would  have  them

measure,  realize  the  heavv, 
heavy  heartaches  that  have  been 
the  portion  of  a  girl  named 
Theda  Bara.

Madge  Kennedy  has  long 
been  a  favorite  of  both  the 
stage  and  screen.  For  the 
past  three  years,  however, 
she  has  devoted  herself 
entirely  to  the  silversheet, 
but  will  be  seen  this  sea- 
son in  a  new  play  on 
Broadway 


MADGE  KEX- 
XEDY  was 
practically  t'" 
route  the  other  day, 
when  slie,  none  the 
less,  very  graciously 
served  me  tea  and 
chicken  sandwiches  at 
the  Ritz  Carleton.  She 
was  about  to  take  a 

plunge  into  atavism  (to  which  I  shall  devote  a  para- 
graph anon)  and  had,  i)rior  to  the  plunge,  to  buy 
a  hat,  gifts  for  the  staff  at  the  studio,  a  book  for 
her  husband  to  peruse  on  the  trip,  ct  cetera  ad  in- 
finilum. 

With  the  liberality  of  time,  characteristic  of  the 
person  with  many  things  to  do.  Miss  Kennedy  was 
enthusiastic  and  eager  to  talk  about  her  new  stage 
play  and  was  reading,  incidentally.  The  Life  of 
Leonardo  Da  I'/iifi— not  that  that  has  anything  to 
do  with  the  play. 

The  plunge  into  atavism  lieretofore  mentioned  is 
better  described  by  a  trip  Miss  Kennedy  and  her

They  were  heading  first

famous  old  niiddys  of 
mine,  riding  skirts, 
one's  favorite  books, 
fishing  tackle  and 
huge  boots.  It  will  be 
refreshing,  tho,  much 
more  so  than  a  con- 
ventional vacation  at 
a  conventional  hotel. 
It  will  give  us  time  to 
breathe  and  time  to 
think  and  time  to  re- 
createourselves.  Inthe 
jiictures  life  has  been, 
for  me,  just  one  gown 
after  another — clothes, 
clothes,  clothes  .  .  . 
( )h,  how  good  the  oltl 
middy  and  the  riding 
skirt    will    seem !" 

Lofty  green  branch- 
es and  running  pebbly 
brooks  and  lilt  of 
birds,  and  all  free, 
unfettered  woodlan 
things  seemed  mirror- 
ed at  that  moment  in 
her  face  .  .  . 

I  asked  her  about 
her  play  ;  how  she  felt 
about  returning  to  the 
speaking  stage  after 
her  three-year  absence 
therefrom;  what  were 
her  sentiments  upon 
leaving  the  studio  life, 
etc.,  etc. 

"As  for  the  screen," 
.she  said,  "I  feel  that 
I  have  been  very  un- 
fortunate in  my  sto- 
ries, my  material.  I 
feel  disappointed  in 
the  work  I  have  done ; 
the  work  I  have  not 
done.  Still,  it  was  not 
standing  still,  because 
it    is    a    part    of    my 

philosophy  that  no  experience  is  without  growth,  without  an 
accruing  benefit.  All  told,  I  simply  feel  as  tho  I  were  laying 
down  one  vehicle  and  taking  up  another. 

"I  am  unspeakably  enthusiastic  over  my  play,  'Cornered.' 
It  is  a  melodrama.,  which  is  a  new  field  for  me,  but  it  provides 
me  with  plenty  of  delicious  comedy,  and  it  runs  a  gamut  of 
emotions,  never  for  an  instant  losing  track  of  the  human  touch. 
Which  is,  of  course,  the  essential  element.  My  part  in  'Cor- 
nered,' and  I  dare  go  on  record  as  saying  this,  is  the  best 
woman's  part  in — well,  in  my  time.  It  is  so  varied,  so  complete. 
"I  have  read  plays,  plays,  plays  for  the  past  three  years  and 
this  is  the  first  one  that  has  so  much  as  intrigued  my  interest. 
I  had  determined  never  to  return  to  the  stage  until  I  had 
found  the,  to  my  mind,  the  play  .  .  ."

"You  believe,  then."  I  inter- 
polated, plagiaristically,  "that 
'The  play's  the  thing?'  " 

Miss  Kennedy  was  em- 
phatic. 

"The  only  thing,"  she  said ; 
"absolutely  the  wliole  thing.  In 
'Cornered,'  for  instance,  any 
girl  with  an  air  of  breeding 
could  play  my  part ;  the  play 
is  all  .  .  ." 

"That   savors  of   self -depreciation,"   I   said. 

"I  hope  not,"  said  Miss  Kennedy,  thoughtfully ;  "really,  I

"I  always  feel  that  a  person 
bearing  within  him  an  art 
should  consider  that  art  as  a

Kennedy,  "I  believe  that  one 
should  conserve  one's  self 
for  this  flame;  guard  one's 
self;  watch  over  it.  It  is  a

Mr.  Jerome  Patrick  is 
primarily  of  the  stage.  He 
was  born  in  New  Zealand 
and  his  parents  destined 
him  first  for  the  priest- 
hood, and  then  a  doctor  s

tried  the  latter  and  prac- 
tised at  medicine  and 
dentistry,  but  his  leaning 
toward  the  stage  only  in- 
creased until  he  finally 
decided  to  leave  home.  He 
appeared  with  Lenore  Ul- 
ric  in  "The  Heart  of 
Wetona,"  and  his  first 
screen  appearance  was  in 
"Officer   666"

of  tlii>  iuilixidiial  with 
the  oogiiomen  of  trou- 
bled atmosphere,  liefore 
long,  too,  for  Storm  is 
now  directing  Lillian 
(ii.sh  upon  lier  first  ap- 
])earance  as  a  star. 

If  you  are  a  real  movie 
fan,  you  already  know 
Storm  as  Charlie  Ray's 
director.  Which,  of 
course,  stamps  him  as 
unusual  and  necessarily 
liossessing  a  human  anri 
syni])athetic  hand.  Hut 
the  Ray-.Storni  iiartner- 
ship  was  broken  to  per- 
mit the  formation  of 
Jerome  Storm  I'rodur- 
tions,  for  the  director 
has  gone  the  way  of  all 
directors  who  do  any- 
thing aboxe  the  average. 
.Storm  is  teni])orarily  di- 
recting Miss  dish,  pend- 
ing the  launching  of  his 
own  organization. 

We  are  willing  to 
stake  our  judgment  back 
of  the  statement  that 
Storm  will  go  a  consider- 
able distance.  Because 
— but  let  Us  go  back  to 
the  beginning. 

Storm  came  thru  the 
Usual  film  mill.  His 
career  moved  past  the 
regular  milestones :  the- 
atrical  barn-storming, 
California  studios  in  the 
pioneer  days,  and  so  on. 

Born  in  Colorado,  he 
went  on  the  stage  at 
Elitch's  fjardens,  where 
regularly  a  stellar  stock 
company    ])layed   each 

summer.      After    that    came    seasons    behind    the    footlights. 
Finally  came  California  and  the  movies. 

Storm  became  an  actor  at  Inceville,  that  pioneer  training 
school  of  stars,  actors  and  directors.  Chet  VVithey,  the  present 
director  and  recent  maker  of  "Romance."  was  playing  "heavies" 
there  in  those  days.  Frank  Borzage,  still  another  recent  di- 
rectorial discovery  and  the  maker  of  "Humoresque,"  was  acting 
there.  Mildred  Harris  was  playing  child  parts.  Sessue  Hay- 
akawa  and  T.suru  Aoki  were  featured  players.  But.  tnore  im- 
portant to  this  tale,  Charlie  Ray 
was  a  player  at  the  Ince  .studio. 
Indeed,  the  first  words  Storm 
heard  around  the  Ince  "lot," 
were  spoken  in  an  argument  be- 
tween two  actors  as  to  which 
was  the  better  "heavy,"  Withey 
or  Ray.  In  those  days,  Charlie 
was  doing  dee])-dyed  Villains 
and  doing  them  vividly. 

At  Inceville  started  the  early 
friendship  of  Ray  and  Storm. 
"Oddly,  my  strongest  early  im- 
pression of  Ray  came  about 
thru  the  fact  that  I  was  cast  for

Storm  Warning 

Film  Fans  Had  Better  Watch  Out 

By  FREDERICK  J.AMES  SMITH 


IF.KOME    STURM 


Q  Jerome  Storm  has  very  sharply  defined 
ideas  about  the  photoplay.  He  is  going  to 
center  his  interest  as  a  producer  upon  small 
town  stories,  because  he  believes  in  the 
human,  close  to  life  theme  —  but,  as  he  eX' 
presses  it,  he  believes  that  this  should  be  happy 
and  wholesome,  rather  than  hectic  and 
gloomy.  His  directorial  ideals  are  substantially 
those  of  King  Vidor  and  Mrs.  Sidney  Drew. 


an  Irish  role  which  had 
been  intended  for  him," 
says  Storm,  "Everyone 
shook  his  head  and  saiil 
I  would  have  to  go  some 
to  fill  the  part. 

"Of  course,  everyone 
knows  how  Ray  stepped 
gradually  from  heavie-- 
and  character  roles  to 
his  present  style  of  part 
— and  to  success.  While 
success  was  coming  to 
him  I  was  being  graiki- 
ated  from  acting  to  di- 
recting. My  first  pro- 
duction was  Knid  Ben- 
nett's 'Keys  of  the 
Righteous.' 

"When  the  opportun- 
ity came  to  rlirect  Ray  I 
was  delighted.  I  started 
with  'The  (lirl  Dodger' 
and  directed  him  in  all 
his  productions  up  to 
the  time  we  severed  con- 
nections, making  this 
step  for  our  mutual  be- 
nefit. 'Peaceful  Valley' 
was  my  last  Ray  pro- 
duction. You  know  how 
easy  it  is  to  slip  into  a 
rut.  We  thought  the 
best  thing  all  round  was 
to  try  new  fields,  as  it 
were. 

"Let  me  express  my 
great  admiration  for 
Ray  as  an  artist.  I  hon- 
estly think  he  stands 
alone.  Impressed  with 
his  humanness,  film  fans 
underestimate  his  his- 
trionic ability.  He  is 
liast  master  of  every 
technical  trick.  Every 
effort  is  carefully  con- 
ceived and  worked  out. 
It  has  always  seemed 
uncanny  how  this  boy, 
who.  in  reality,  knows 
but  little  of  the  varying 
phases  of  life,  can  understand  and  reflect  them  upon  the  screen.. 
Working  with  him  as  long  as  I  did,  I  know  him  to  be  a  great 
artist  in  his  jiarticular  line  of  playing,  altho  he  is  a  big  boy  at 
heart." 

Which  is  praise,  indeed.  Storm,  too,  gives  Ray  every  credit 
for  the  success  of  his  vehicles.  There  is  nothing  of  the  tyjjical 
self-assertive  screen  director  about  him.  .Storm,  in  reality,  is 
wholly  unassuming  and  likable.  The  generous  and  sane  way 
he  prai.ses  others  and  the  way  he  subordinates  himself,  point  to 

a  well  ]K)ised  and  clear  think- 
ing mind. 

He  has  very  sharply  defined 
ideas  about  the  i)hoto])lav.  He 
is  going  to  center  his  interest  as 
a  producer  upon  small  town 
stories,  because  he  believes  tl  ey 
best  reflect  the  healthy  average 
of  American  life.  He  believes 
in  the  human,  close  to  life 
theme — but, .as  he  expresses  it, 
lie  believes  that  this  should  be 
happy  and  wholesome,  rather 
than  hectic  and  gloomy.  His

The  Case  of 

Norma 

Talmadge 

By 

Fkederick  James  Smith 


TH  I-',  possibility  of  writing  ;i 
verbatim  chat  with  Xornia 
Talmadge  is  <|uite  b;-vniul 
(Hir  Ueii.  Miss  Talmadge  cannot 
be  interviewed  in  that  fashion. 
She  does  not  |)ose  placidly  before 
an  interviewer  and  recite  her  likes 
and  (lislikes,  lier  ide;is  of  art  and 
the  movies,  her  opinions  npon  the 
way  things  slundd'bL-.  Emjihat- 
ically,  she  does  nat. 

Noniia  Talmadge  is  not  that 
sort  of  star. 

She  strikes  us  as  an  cvery-day 
sort  of  American  young  woman 
elevated  to.  high  estate  by  the 
cinema.  .Al.so  it  seems  to  us  that 
she  is  (|nite  willing  to  be  consid- 
ered in  this  fasliion.  Any  attem])t 
to  gild  a  ])ersonality.  we  suspect, 
would  stir  her  sense  of  humor. 

Said  sense  of  humor  impressed 
us  most  of  all.  This — and  her 
very  easy  going  outlook  upon  life. 

W'e  know  that  the  Leagne  of 
Nations,  the  Bolshevik  bugaboo 
and  the  problem  of  capitol  and 
labor  concern  Miss  Talmadge  not 
a  whit-  Tlie  average  girl  is  in- 
terested in  other  things — and  so 
is  Miss  'i'almadge.  Again,  the 
average  star  would  try  to  im- 
press you  as  vitally  alive  on  every 
topic,  but  Miss  Talmadge  is  not 
the  average  star. 

We  like  her  sincerity  and  her 
lack  of  pose. 

Because  she  does  not  unfold  a 
colorful — and  doubtlessly  care- 
fully created  —  personality  for 
one's  inspection,  it  mnst  not  lead 
you  to  think  she  looks  down  u|H)n 
the  i)hotoplay. 

We  can  well  believe  that  stardom  is  a  mixtnre  of  work  and 
good  fun  for  her.     She  isn't  the  sort  of  person  to  slight  things. 

When  we  interviewed  Miss  Talmadge.  she  curled  up  com- 
fortably in  a  huge  arm  chair  and  ran  her  bands  rather  hope- 
lessly thru  her  hair.  We  represented  her  third  interview  of 
the   day. 

Then  she  snnuiioned  a  maid  with  tea  and  cinnamon  toast,  ( at 
least,  teat  and  toast  were  among  the  things  brought),  and  set- 
tled back  into  her  chair. 

It   develoijed   that : 

Miss   Talmadge   admires    Xazimova   immensely. 

That  she  dislikes  most  of  her  recent  pictures  and  is  terribly 
disa|)pointed  in  them. 

That  she  is  a  sort  of  older  sister-mother  for  the  family, 
which,  incidentally,  means  that  she  keeps  a  careful  eye  upon 
th(.  harum-scarum  Constance.  "Someone  has  to  get  Connie  to 
the  studio,"  she  sighed. 

That  she  is  so  tired  at  night  that  she  either  rests  completely 
or  goes  to  the  theater  for  recreation.  Sometimes  she  reads  a 
magazine   story  or  two. 

That  she  likes  to  jjlay  evcry-day  sort  of  people.

Is   our   pen    jjortrait    still    vague? 


whole 
Perhaps,    we 


.hould  go  back  to  our  first  meeting 
with  Miss  Talmadge.  It  was — well 
— some  vears  ago.  The  scene  was 
the  old  \'itagrai)h  yard.  We  were 
talking  with  Kdith  Storey  when  a 
slender  girl  in  short  skirts  happened 
to  pass.  Miss  Storey  introduced  us 
to  "the  Talmadge  kid."  This  was, 
of  course,  before  the  silversheet  ar- 
rival of  Constance,  who.  at  that 
time,  must  have  been  even  slenderer 
and   in   even   shorter   skirts. 

Norma  secured  her  early  training  in  those  ])almy  \'itagrai)b 
days.  She  played  everything  from  children  to  grey-baired 
mothers  and,  incidentally,  found  time  to  grow  up.  From  Vita- 
graph  she  went  to  Triangle.  .Xfter  this  came  her  marriage  to 
Joseph  Schenck,  the  vaudeville  and  motion  picture  manager.

AN  interviewer  is  like  a  bold 
kiiijjlit  of  ye  uUleii  days,

The  career 
of  Claire 
Adams  is 
just  at  the 
budding  peri- 
od, and  one 
catches  a 
glimpse  of 
dazzling  pos- 
sibilities yet 
to  be  unfold- 
ed. She  was 
born  in  Can- 
ada and  has 
lived  in  Can- 
ada and  Lon- 
don 'most  of 
her  few  years. 
She  has  no 
desire  for 
stardom— but 
is  sincerely 
in  earnest 
concerning 
her  progress 
on  the  screen 


in  her  arms  in  a  manner  that 
seemed  to  say,  "You  shall  not 
have  my  child !"  When  she  be- 
held me,  a  bint  of  disappoint- 
ment crept  into  her  eyes,  .she 
drop])ed  the  child,  which  fled 
yelping  to  the  kitchenette  in  the 
dragon's  wake,  and  e.xclainied : 
"But  you're  not  at  all  formid- 
able !" 

Behind  that  sentence  I  di- 
vined worried  hours  of  prepa- 
ration, epigrams  neatly  poli.sbed 
and  ready  for  the  psychological 
moment,  a  studiedly  careless 
knowledge  of  all  tbe  vital  ques- 
tions of  tbe  day.  I  felt  sorry 
for  Claire.  I  shoidd  have  warned  her  of  my 
youth ! 

It  is  significant  that  even  as  I  use  her  first 
name,  Claire,  I  have  a  sneaking  feeling  that 
I  shouldn't.  She  is  like  that ;  instinctively, 
Britishly  reserved,  a  person  whom  one  cannot 
hope  to  know  in  a  day,  or  a  month.  We  talked 
of  every  thing  from  socialism  to  real  estate 
but  never  once  did  she  open  the  gate  to  her 
inner  self.  With  her,  snontaneous  intimacy 
is  impossible. 

Her  career  is  just  at  the  budding  period, 
perhaps  a  little  beyond,  so  that  one  catches  a 
glimpse  of  dazzling  possibilities  yet  to  be 
unfolded.  It  is  the  result  of  ambition's  tri- 
umph over  parental  prejudice.  In  Canada, 
where  she  was  born,  she  gained  a  few  weeks'

Madame  Peacock 


By 

FAITH  SERVICE 


MADAME  i'KACOCK  slipped  from  her  head  the  inag- 
niliccnt  head-ilress  cuiiipuseil  of  the  feathers  of  tlie  most 
magnificent  birds  of  the  species.  Slie  slipped  tlie  silken, 
embroidered  sheath  she  wore  from  her  body,  suddenly  weary, 
suddenly  divested  of  glamour,  suddenly  and  unniiraculously 
itself. 

For  the  first  time  in,  oh,  well,  in  many,  many  years  she  felt 
that  she  was  herself,  essentially  herself.  Xot  very  wonderfully 
herself  .save  as  reality,  liowever  unlovely,  is  always  wonderful. 

It  hurt  to  be  herself.  To  be  herself.  Jane  (ioring,  again.  It 
hurt  because  she  liad.  first,  to  be  so  divested  of  the  glittering 
garments  she  wore.     The  garments  of  .Sham. 

What,  again,  had  Cleeburg.  the  manager  of  the  theater,  said 
of  her,  that  afternoon,  as  she  was  leaving. 

"Sham's  her  middle  name,  my  Ijoy,"  he  had  said,  to  the 
author  of  the  new  play,  "she  cant  help  it — she  was  born  that 
way.    A  sham !" 

"  'A  sham  !'  " 

Well.  .  .well  .  .  .? 

Her  nervous  fingers  unbound  her  hair.  There  were  one  or 
two  grey  hairs.  .Angele  had  been  careless,  of  late,  then  .  .  . 
Of  late,  everyone  liad  been  more  or  less  careless.  Kver  so 
slightly  there  were  appearing  rents  and  tears  in  the  adulation 
she  had  been  for  so  long  accustomed  to,  so  long  fed  upon. 
.And  how  greedily  she  had  eaten !  How  she  had  taken  the 
public  laurels  and  burned  them  at  her  own  insatiable  altar, 
inhaling  the  smoke  as  rare  incense,  into  her  nostrils,  into  her 

(Tu'enty. seven) 


very  being.  .-Xh,  it  had  been  a  breath  of  life  to  her,  pervasive, 
consuming  .  .  . 

To  stimulate  it  further  slie  liad  ilone  all  niamier  of  eccen- 
tricities. She  had  culled  the  rarest  silks  and  jewels,  the  m<ist 
e.\travagant  fads  and  foibles,  the  bizarre  of  all  countries  ami 
fashions.  London  had  called  iter,  had  acclaimed  her  as 
"Mailanie  Peacock."  She,  together  with  London,  had  alpiost 
forgotten  that  she  had  once  been  (joring.  Jane  (ioring,  simply 
born  and  bred.  That  there  had  ever  been  McXaughton,  or 
the  baby  .  .  .  that  ever  .  ,  . 

■As  in  a  mirror,  life-sized,  faithful  in  it^  reproduction,  fear- 
ful in  its  verity.  Madame  I'eacock  beheld  her  years  come 
cree|)ing  back.  Some  grey  with  tears,  some  red  with  hope, 
.some  chameleon  in  their  many  colors,  some  strident, 
.some  subdued.  She  looked  because  she  wanted  to.  but 
more  because  she  couldn't  help  it.  Her  sham  had  dropt 
from  her  with  her  head-dress  and  her  silken  robe.  1  ler  years 
were  demanding  toll  of  her.  .  .  .  She  had  preached  the  philos- 
ophy, many  times,  to  many  an  admiring  satellite,  of  the  inevit- 
able i)aying  of  a  ])rice.  .  .  .  Knowing,  full  well,  as  she  had 
preacheil  that  she  Madame  I'eacock.  would  n  ver  pay.  would 
evade  payment,  being  sham.  Wliat  she  had  not  foreshadowed 
was  the  iiossibilily  of  sham  deserting,  of  the  years  coming  back 
to  one,  rather  than  one  going  back  to  the  years  .   .   . 

First,  then,  came  McXaughton.  The  man.  no,  the  6ov 
she  had  married.  lie  it  was  who  had  first  given  her  to  herself 
as  something  rare  and  wonderful  and  set  apart.     Prior  to  his

more  In-caiise  the  stage  seemed  so  glamourous  a  mystery  than 
for  any  self-assurance.  Then  Mc.Naiightoii  had  come  and  had 
told  her  she  possesseil  i|ualities  akin  to  the  great  ones  of  the 
<lrania. 

I  le  had  taught  her  the  value  of  her  great  green  eye.s,  her  sup- 
ple iKidy.  her  red  rage  of  a  mouth.  He  had  taught  her  hy  his 
luimhle.  |xistulant  love  of  her.  His  adoration  had  liecu  the 
first  food  her  shunhering  vanity  had  had  to  feed  u|)oU. 

Ai\d  how  she  had  fed  upon  it!  Hungrily,  gratefully  at  first. 
'riien  with  rapacity,  with  disregard.  Little  hy  little  the  world 
she  had  known  liad  faile<l  from  her  enraptured  vision  and  she. 
she  herself,  had  stepped  onto  the  stage  of  her  imagining, 
supreme. 

The  hahy  had  come.  Hut  she  had  come  too  late,  .^he  did 
not  give  lane  time  enough,  time  enough  to  preen,  to  muse,  to 
capture  the  full  glory  of  the  career  she  was  sure,  now,  she 
was  to  have. 

Then,  the  first  engagement. 

In  McXaughton's  tender  arms  she  had  sobbed  out  her  first 
reaction  to  the  I'.ig  Chance, 
terror,  joy,  self-confidence, 
timidity. 

That  niglit  the  baby  had  been 

ill.  and  she  had  not  cared.     She 

had   told    Mc.X'aughton   he   must 

care  for  it ;  she  was  to  rehearse 

in     the    morning, 

she  must  have  her 

rest.

first  pangs  that  niglu.  1  lad  felt  his  first  fear  that  he  was 
doing  Jane  harm  rather  than  good.  Had  woven,  for  lier,  the 
first  threads  of  the  mantle  of  sham  >he  was  so  superbly  to  wear. 
It  had  been  spectacular  and  swift.  The  first  engagement 
had  been  brilliant  and  successful.  She  had  been  "a  find." 
London  raved  over  her  green  eyes,  her  accent  (iiure  Dorset- 
shire polished  and  contorted,  had  they  known).  There  had 
been  vague  comparisons  to  llernhardt,  to  Duse,  to  all  the  great 
and  gifted  of  the  Drama. 

Jane  (ioring  hail  drunk  it  in. 

With  the  beginning  of  her  engagements  and  the  sure  argo- 
sies of  success  coming  in,  daily,  freshly  laden,  she  had  accpiired 
more  and  more  temperament,  more  and  more  disdain  of  the 
liimible  McXaughton,  tlie  importunate  baby,  the  demands  of 
every-day  living. 

There  came  the  day  when  she  told  liim  that 'if  he  really  cared 
to  help  her,  as  he  had  so  often  and  so  extravagantly  sai<l,  she 
could  tell  him  how  he  could  do  so. 

"Mow?"  he  had  asked,  with  the  pathos  of  eagerness  char- 
acteristic of  him  where  she  was  concerned  ;  "you  know  you 
have  only  to  tell  me,  Jane." 

"[•"orget  me,"  she  had  said  to  him,  and,  renu'niscently.  how 
metallic,  how  terrible  her  voice  came  back;  "forget  me.  I  am 
going  away." 

In  the  mirror  of  her  years  she  shut  her  eyes  ag'ainst  the  re- 
membrance of  his  face,  white  and  unforgetable,  even  now  .  .  . 
The  opulent  years  had    followed.     The  years  of   Madame 
I'eac':,.k.      ( ilittering,  golden,   fiery   years.     Triumphal    years, 
with,  in  this  hour  the  ring  of  bra.ss. 

The  gowns  she  wore,  the  gestures  of  her  famous  hands,  the 
sweep  of  her  eyebrows,  the  shoes  she  wore  on  her  arched,  im- 
perious   feet,  the   reed-like   unex])ectedness  of  her  laugh,   all 
these  things  had  been  copied,  emulated,  jiarodied.  made  world 
wide.     Ah,  she  had  known  Fame  .  .  .   why  were  the 
dregs  so  bitter? 

Her  car  driving  thru  the  London  streets  had  been 
the  signal  for  a  mob  to  follow.  In  the  theater 
she  had  been  a  despot,  an  empress,  unquestioned, 
untouched,  supreme.  All  the  sediment  of 
tyranny  in  her  nature  had  been  stirred  U]), 
made  active.  .  .  .  How  she  had  ruled ! 
What  an  imperial  dreaiu  had  hers  been ! 
Why  was  the  i)ur])le  faded  and  the  goUl 
lace  tarnished — tonight  ? 

The  lovers  who  had  pursued  her — a 
trou|)e  viewed  in  retrospect  —  a 
youth  with  gold  hair  dulled 
— the  strident  young  lead- 
ing man  she  had  repulsed, 
who  had  called  her  milk 
and  manna — Nirvana — ful- 
filiuent  —  whither  were 
they  gone? 

Then,  five  years  ago,  af- 
ter  one   of   her   most   suc- 
cessful   ])erformances,    she 
had  gone  home  and   found 
McN'aughton  awaiting 
her.    She  hail  scarcely 
recognized  him.     The 
years     had      depleted 
him,    had    hurt    him, 
marred  him. 

He  had  told  her, 
timorously,  that  he 
had  induced  her  press 
agent  to  let  him  come 
in  his  place.  He  had 
to  see  her,  he  had 
said. 

She  had  questioned 
him,  more  with  her 
slender  brows,  her 
manner  than  the  so- 
licitude of  words.

He  had  told  her  he  was  ill,  forced  to  go  to  Colo- 
rado ;  their  early  days  had  seemed  to  return  to  him. 
miraculously    recharged    with    their    old    significance 
.  .  .  the   child   .   .  .he   thought   perhaps   she   had    found 
the  glitter  more  superficial  than  the  gold,  that  she  might 
wish  to  accompany  him  .  .  . 

Into  his  white,  somehow  bewildered  face  her  own  laugli 
rang  back  to  her,  thin  and  cruel.  Xo,  she  had  told  him, 
and  so  deep-dyed  was  her  chosen  art  tliat  she  had  been, 
temporarily,  the  victim  of  her  own  delusion.  No,  she 
ro  longer  belonged  to  herself,  certainly  not  to  him,  but  to 
the   Public,  the  Public  who  had  given  her  idolatry  and  fame. 

He  had  brought  to  bear  upon  lier  a  few  more  reminiscences, 
memories.  He  had  again  referred  to  their  child,  emphasized 
the  mutuality.     She  had  ignored  it. 

.Xngcred  at  her  indifference  not  so  much  to  himself  as  to 
the  child,  McXaughton  had  bidden  her  farewell.  He  had  told 
her  that  she  was  giving  up  love  and  friendship  and  the  inimita- 
ble gift  of  her  baby  for — sliaiit.  He,  too,  "sham."  .  .  .  How 
fitly  she  must  have  worn  it  that,  here  and  there  down  the 
primrose  path,  to  the  tune  of  lutes  and  the  delectation  of 
honeycomb,  that  word  had  appeared  to  her  .  .  .  .Sham ! 

Well?  .  .  . 

On  her  head  she  seemed  to  feel,  for  the  first  time,  the  weight 
of  the  peacock  feathers.     t3n  her  body  the  embrace,  the  soft 
sweet  .strangulation  of  satins  and  silk.   ( )n  her  hands  and  arms 
the   hard,   unlovable  kiss  of  jewels.      She  had  no  tears 
.\nd  there  was  no  place  for  laughter  .  .  . 

The  mirror  brought  back  five  more  years.  Still  tri- 
umphant years:  still  rejjlete  with  adulation;  dizzying  suc- 
cesses; popularity  a|>proaching  genius;  genius  rather  great 
than  good.  Yet  they  wore,  these  later  years,  a  dif- 
ferent aspect.  After  McNaughton's  sudden,  unexjjected  visit, 
after  his  sudden  complete  departure  they  seemed  to  be,  the 
years,  tinged  with  the  pallor  of  his  face.  Now  and  then  a 
shrill  voice  echoed  thru  them,  reed-like  as  her  own  strange 
laughter,  and  yet  dissimilar.  Her  mother's  face,  too,  ap- 
peared infrequently,  her  mother  who  lived  with  her  rather  in 
the  capacity  of  maid  and  general  factotimi  than  mother.  Yes, 
they  had  changed,  tlie  later  years  .  .  .  the  flowers  were  more 
hothouse  than  natural;  the  footlights  seemed  garish  rather 
than  like  stars  fallen  to  her  feet  for  her  further  glorification, 
even  the  notices  in  the  pai)ers  seemed  to  hide,  thinly,  sardonic 
censure  under  their  hyperbole  .  .  . 

What  had  she  done,  then,  Madame  Peacock?  .  .  . 

There  seemed  to  be.  she  felt,  a  reluctance  on  the  part  of 
life  to  let  fall  further  largess,  .\fter  all.  what  had  she  given 
to  life?  Never  before  had  this  cpiestion  touched  her,  .She, 
Madame  Peacock,  favored  of  life  and  the  lovers  of  life.  But 
what,  what  rcallv.  had  she  given? 

The  mirror  she  faced  demanded  a  reply.  It  would  have  none 
of  silence  and  the  evasion  of  silence. 

She  answered  :  "Nothing." 

That,  persisted  the  mirror,  was  not  enough,  was  not  drain- 
ing the  mouth  of  verity. 

She  answered  then,  "WORSF.  than  nothing  I" 

The  mirror  was  content.      It  was  true  .   .  .  all  these 
.    .    .    .Sensationalism    .    .    . 
jealousy    .    .    .    occasional

flaps,    but    .Madame    Peacock    had 
seen  other  laurels   wilt  and   droop 
from  lesser  causes.  .  .  .  She  had  felt  a 
|)renionitory  chill   .   .   . 

Later  in  the  week  she  had  remarked 
(in  the  ugliness  of  the  girl  and  Cleeburg 
liad  said,  without  enthusiasm,  that  she 
was  like  enough  to  play  own  sister  to 
Madame  Peacock. 

The  actress  had  been  furious.  This, 
this  most  certainly,  was  infringement. 

That  day  the  girl,  with  whom,  by  the 
way  the  young  author  had  become  ab- 
surdly infatuated,  ha<l  come  up  the  stage 
stairs  to  her  dressing-room  to  thank  her  for 
the  privilege  she  felt  it  to  be,  to  be  in  her 
company.  The  child  had  been  ofldly  sin- 
cere. Madaine  Peacock  felt  again  a  ridicu- 
lous desire  to  kiss  the  girl's  tousled  head, 
green  eyes  over  which  the  lids  drooped  like 
Hower  petals ;  eyes  in  which  smoldered, 
oh,  uiU|uestionably,  the  iierfection  of  the 
talent  she,  herself,  bore  within  her,  less 
adequately. 

To  her  secret  self,  to  the  mirror,  then,  she 

admitted  it  .  .  .     The  girl  whom  Cleeburg 

had  discovered  in  the  States  was  her  own 

.-^   ,,  ,  Art  made  perfect,  recreated  aj.ain  and  gar- 

*?i  I  mented  in  youth.     Invincible  and  virginal, 

,She  shuddered. 

Then,  today,  the  girl's  unmistakable  tri- 
umi)h  ;  the  enthusiasm  at  the  theater :  the 
ignoring  of  Madame  Peacock,  It  had  been 
intolerable.  .  .  .  Why,  then,  before  this 
mirror  did  it  seem  no  longer  intolerable,  but 
the  poetic  law  of  compensation,  beautifully 
balanced,  equipoised  ? 

At  the  theater  .  .  .  her  heart  had  known 
black  rage  and  her  brain,  wearied,  over-exerted,  had  reeled, 
had  become  abandoned  and  unsteadied  .  .  ,  venom  had  come 
from  her  heart  to  her  lips — she  had  felt,  first,  an  impulse  to 
cry  out,  to  destroy  ,  ,  ,  .she  had  told  Cleeburg  that,  unless  the 
girl  were  dismissed  instantly,  she,  Madame  Peacock,  would, 
herself,  sever  their  connections.  The  ice  of  the  manager's  face 
who  had  been,  so  short  a  while  ago,  servile,  obsequious  .  .  . 
His  answer  had  seared  her,  leaving  her,  she  felt,  exposed, 
withered,  undesirable  ,  .  , 

"I  have  signed  the  young  lady  up  with  a  life  contract,"  he 
had  said,  then  he  had  shrugged  .  .  . 

He  had  needed  to  do  nothing  further  .  .  .  that  shrug!  .  .  , 
Madame  Peacock,  with  her  long  cape  drawn  about  her,  sud- 
denly old  and  inexpressibly  weary,  had  crept  from  her  dress- 
ing-room to  the  outer  door.     On   the  way  the  smell  of  the 
grease  jjaint,  the  old  dust  of  old  sets,  the  dimness  ,  .  ,  all 
that  hatl  been  champagne  to  her  seemed  stale  and  odoriferou.s. 
She  had  no  spirit  to  do  more  than  incline  her  weighted  head  to 
tlie  door  keeper  who  raised  his  hat  to  her  as  she  passed.     Just 
as  in  her  most  dizzy  triumphs,  he  had  raised  it  in   recogni- 
tion   of   a   great    arti.'^t.      This 
alone  was  left  her ;  the  .salute  of 
the    keeper   of   the   door,    thru 
which,  for  the  last  time,  she  was 
passing.      It    was   said    of   him 
that  he,  too,  had  been  great  for 
a    time.      And    had    been    cast 
forth.    Well  .  .  . 

In  her  apartment  alone 
Madame  Peacock  shuddered 
and  drew  in  her  breath  with  a 
little  shivering  cry, 

A   great    need    of   a   human 

touch  overcame  her.     Also  the 

knowledge   that    she   had   been 

without    a    human    touch    for

MONROE  SALIS- 
BURY was  stand- 
ing in  front  of  a 
niiiving  picture  theater  on 
Broadway,  Los  Angeles, 
wailing  for  his  car.  He 
liail  just  returned  from 
a  trip  to  northern  Cali- 
fornia where  he  had  been 
shooting  scenes  for  "The 
Barbarian,"  his  first  pic- 
ture made  with  his  own  company. 

"Aim  maybe  you  think  we  t'idii't  have  a  won- 
•Ic-rful  camping  outfit!"  he  said.     "It  was  such  an 

utfit   as   I    dont   believe  anyone   ever   had   before. 

li  course,  tlie  scenario  called  for  a  society  camp  ami 
we  had  to  have  one.  ami.  e(|ually,  of  course,  it  proved 
useful  and  luxurious  for  the  company.  We  traveled 
in  style.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Jack  Cudahy  were  members 
nf  the  party,  as  were  also  their  two  children,  Michael

town  in  the  Cudahy's  machines  and  carried  with  us 
a  numl)er  of  tlieir  servants,  including  their  chef. 

"I've  never  seen  a  long  period  of  location  work- 
go  by  so  smoothly.  There  was  really  no  friction 
at  all.     We  matlc  our  heatUiUarters  at   Sisson,  but

branched  out  from  it  for  many  miles.  I 
think  that  tlie  mo.st  beautiful  part  of  the 
trip  was  that  spent  on  the  John  Wrinkle 
estate,  near  San  Francisco.  There  we  shot 
scenes  of  deer  in  the  wild ;  some  of  the  ex- 
teriors were  unimaginably  beautiful. 

"Did  you  hear  that  I  had  a  road  built  for 
me?  A  nine-mile  stretch,  between  Sisson  and 
Castle  Lake.  It  was  formally  christened 
Salisbury  Pike  just  before  I  left.  And  now, 
I  come  home  to  lind  a  new  and  unusually 
rigorous  bunch  of  traffic  laws !" 

"Arrested  ?"  I  a,sked. 

"Yes,  before  I  had  been  in  town  for  an 
hour.  Something  in  tlie  nature  of  a  welcome 
home,  I  suppose." 

I  notice  that  there  was  about  Iiini  an  air 
of  happiness  that  no  annoyance  over  the 
much-cussed  traffic  laws  could  effect,  even 
temporarily.  After  a  period  in  which  he

.  .  .  (Jack  (.'udahy  is  among  those  heavily  interested)  ...  to  make  pic- 
lures  according  to  his  own  ideas  of  how  pictures  should  be  made. 

'I'hese  ideas  arc  not  basically  new..  The  screen  has  had  enough  of 
newness.  What  it  needs  now  is  a  little  wholesome  tradition.  And  this 
is  what  Monroe  Salisbury  plans  to  give  it. 

During  his  career  on  the  stage,  he  was  associated  with  such  people  as 
Cliarles  Frohman,  Richard  Mansfield,  Mrs.  Fiske,  John  Drew,  Kathryn 
Kidder  and  Nance  O'Xeil.  Undoubtedly,  he  absorbed  all  of  the  finest 
traditions  of  the  stage  and   made  them  his  own. 

His  company — The  Monroe  Salisbury  Players — has  been  formed  on 
the  same  principle  which  has  gone  to  make  famous  stock  companies  ever 
since  the  beginning  of  theatrical  history;  that  is,  the  principle  of  imi- 
form  excellence  which  dictates  that  every  member  of  the  company  must 
be  an  artist  in  his  own  line,  and  must  remain  with  the  company  for  as 
long  a  time  as  possible.  To  this  latter  end,  it  is  necessary  that  they 
should  never  be  dissatisfied.     Said   Salisbury : 

"The  whole  thing  must  be  looked  at  from  the  viewpoint  of  the  actor. 
Donald  Crisp,  who  is  directing,  is  himself  an  actor  and  a  good  one.     His 
Hattling  Burrows  in  'Broken  Blossoms'  is  a  bit  of  artistic  work  that  will 
never  be  forgotten.     He  is,  then,  capable  of  directing  actors 
and  understanding  their  peculiar  needs.     The  same  with  the 


His  favorite  paintings 
are  of  Indian  scenes 
and  Indian  characters, 
and  of  the  pictures  he 
has  made,  he  enjoyed

in  "Ramona"  best  of  all

management.    The  i<lca 
is  that  we  are  featuring 
our  company.  We  could 
not  do  this  if  the 
company  were  not 
a  good  one. 
Consequently, 
an    artist    who 
joins  tis  is  do- 
ing us  a  favor 
and   will   be 
treated  accord- 
ingly !" 

During     our 
conversation, 
we  had  walked 
slowly  up  Broad- 
way to  a  confec- 
tionery store,  where 
we   had   enjoyed 
something  cold  to  drink. 
W'e    had    then    walked 
back  to  the  original  place, 
in    front    of    the   theater, 
arriving  there  at  the  same  monient  that  his  car  drew  up. 

Miltini  Markwell  joined  us.  He  is  a  young  man  with  fair 
hair  and  blue  eyes.  Given  the  role  of  a  surveyor  in  "The 
Barbarian,"  he  has  something  very  much  more  important  in 
"Ethan  of  the  Mountain"  which  will  be  the  second  picture 
made  by  the  Monroe  Salisbury  Players.  He  recently  ap- 
jjeared  in  stock  in  Seattle. 

"Shall  we  drive  around  for  a  while?"  Salisbury  suggested, 
"Suppose  we  take  you  home?"  We  soon  found  ourselves 
on  Santa  Monica  Boulevard  where  the  heat  of  the  day  was 
relieved  by  a  light  breeze  blowing  in  from  the  sea.

tures will  be  cut  to  natural  length,  and  cut  by  the  man  who

SOME  'teen  years  a^'o  she  was

Christie  Comedies  and  leading  lady  for  Charles  Ray 
in  "Forty-five  Minutes  l-"roni  Rroadway." 

It  all  happ<-ne<l  very  much  in  apjiroved  story-hook 
fashion.  When  .'Xnn  Inez  Williams  was  eleven  years 
c.ld.  her  mother,  seeking  renewed  health,  brought  her 
to  California.  ,  ,        . 

.•\nn  Inez  at  that  time  had  four  brothers  and  an  elder  sister,  l  hey  were  all 
married;  had  families  of  their  ow.n,  and  so  mother  Williams  felt  free  to  devote  her 
time  wholly  to  .Vnn  Inez  and  her  health.  She  brought  all  the  family  furniture, 
took  a  comfortable  house  in  Los  .Xngeles  and  sent  Ann  Inez  to  private  school. 
.Ml  scciiud  going  smoothly— that  is,  on  the  surface. 

But  .Ann  Inez  wasn't  the  placid  little  soul  her  mother  thought  (I  could  have  told 
her  that,  the  moment  I  saw  those  big  brown  eyes  with  mischief  hidden  deep,  deep 
within  them. )  .Xnn,  who  was  called  Dot  at  school  because  she  was  .so  very  tiny,

that  huge  voice  issuing  from  the  slender  throat  of  the  very  littlest  one  of  them. 
.■\nd  so  Ann,  who  was  very  ambitious,  caught  the  career  fever  and  .sang  in  the 
church  choir  where  her  voice,  she  says,  "Just  boomed  out." 

This  led  to  an  ofTer  for  her  to  sing  in  private  bom-  s  of  society  people  for  the 
entertainment  nf  blase  guests.  .Ann  Inez  knew  that  her  mother  would  never  con-

name  of  Dorothy  Devore.  Slie 
says  the  Dorothy  was  easily  ac- 
counted for,  but  she  must  liave 
chosen  the  Devore  from  a 
Snal^f'y  Stories  magazine. 

Dorotliy's  mother  didi  l  hear 
about  lier  professional  success 
until  it  led  to  a  splendid  cabaret 
offer.  Then,  of  course,  as  moth- 
ers of  spoiled  dauj^hters  have  a 
habit  of  doing,  she,  at  first,  ab- 
solutely refused  to  let  Dorothy 
keep  up  her  work  and  at  last 
gave  ii    gracefully. 

So  it  was  that  Dorothy  De- 
vore, without  training  of  any 
kind,  found  herself  heading  a 
troupe  of  professional  chorus 
girls  in  the  vaudeville  act  at 
Levy's,  a  very  popular  I^os 
Angeles  cafe.  Dorothy  not  only 
was  the  headliner  but  taught 
her  chorus  new  dance  steps  and 
songs  and  managed  them — and 
she  was,  I  might  add,  in  her 
very  early  'teens.  But  when  one 
is  in  their  very  early  'teens  and 
ambitious,  nothing  seems  impos- 
sible— perhaps  that  is  why  Dor- 
othy was  so  successful. 

In  a  very  short  while  an  of- 
fer came  to  book  her  over  the 
Orpheum  vaudeville  circuit,  and 
it  seemed  that  Dorothy's  great- 
est dreams  had  come  true. 
Everything  was  planned.  She 
was  to  be  billed  as  "The  Mini- 
ature Pocket-Edition  Sophie 
Tucker,"  the  real  Sojihie  Tucker 
gave  her  permission  to  use 
her  name  in  return  for  the 
exdusi  ve-right<r

hy    liai'l  compo* 


And. then  one  day,  she  received  a  telephone  call  from  Eddie 
Lyons,  of  Universal's  Lyons  and  Moran  comedies. 

"Would  she  consider  coming  out  to  Universal  City  to  do 
a  picture  with  them?" 

She  had  had  no  desire  to  enter  pictures,  but  she  had  a  little 
spare  time,  and  so  she  went  out  to  Universal  City,  fully  pre- 
pared to  be  assigned  nothing  but  an  atmosphere  part.  But 
without  even  taking  a  test  picture  they  assigned  her  the  lead.  And 
that  rather  settled  Dorothy's  career,  for  she  was  seen  by  Chris- 
tic's  casting  director  and  cajHured  with  the  lure  of  a  high  salary. 

That  was  two  years  ago,  and  Dorothy  has  now  become 
Dorothy  Devore  spelt  with  a  small  v.  She  played  opposite 
Bobby  Vernon  for  some  time  and  was  then  made  a  .star  her- 
self for  Christie.  She  has  the  greatest  fondness  for  that  com- 
pany, and  altho  she  is  being  sought  on  all  sides  by  directors 
who  wish  to  ]nit  4ier  into  drama,  she  only  dips  into  drama  at 
])resent  when  her  services  can  be  dispensed  with  briefly  at 
Christie's. 

Because  she  is  so  very  young  she  is  still  in  love  with  her 
first  love,  farce-comedy ;  for  she  believes  that  that  which  we 
learn  first  we  learn  best.

And  so  it  ha|)])ened-that  her  vau<k' — 
ville  tour  was  postponed  indefinitely 
— but  Dorothy  Devore  admits  diat 
it  is  her  real  ambition,  and  some  day 
she  hopes  to  travel.  She  can  imag- 
ine nothing  more  wonderful  than  a 
tour  in  vaudeville.  But  at  present 
she  is  very  happy  in  pictures,  because  her  mother  is  hajipy  to 
have  her  in  them. 

As  for  Dorothy  Devore  herself,  this  little  hapjicning  illus- 
trated what  she  is  like  better  than  anything  else. 

The  other  day   she   was   introduced   to  a  dear  old   lady   of 
L.i'venty  or  thereabouts. 

"And  what  do  you  do,  little  girl  ?"  she  was  aske<l. 
"I  act  in  pictures,"  respondc'  Dorothy. 
"What — you  are  one  of  those  motion  picture  actresses?  Land 
sakes.  I'd  never  have  believed  it,  why,  little  girl,  you  belong  in 
a  sweet  little  home,  married  to  a  good  man,  with  a  cim]ile  of 
kiddies." 

Dorothy  says  she  considers  this  the  greatest  compliment  slie 
has  ever   received.      Incidentally,  one  of   Dorothy's   schoolgirl

"I  know  you  wont  mind."  she  began. 
"You  see,  I'm  so  frightfully  busy,  as  I'm

jusl  keep  fussing  at  sonie- 
tliing,  do  you  ?"  she  ended 
l)reathles.sly.  "1  iiiiist 
run  fresh  ribbons  in  these 
things — my  maid  is  rushed 
to  death  with  last-minute 
sliop])ing." 

She  is  a  daughter  of 
Ohio,  Ann  May.  Toledo, 
to  be  exact,  and  a  gradu- 
ate of  a  dramatic  school 
of  that  city.  Not  that  she 
was  expected  to  take  ad- 
vantage of  this  training 
in  any  way.  Certainly 
not!  But  a  girl  should 
receive  some  sjiecialized 
training,  and,  if  she  can 
afford  it,  why  not  along 
some  line  that  she  likes? 
reasoned  an  indulgent 
father.  If  she  cared  to  do 
so,  she  could  become  a 
teacher  of  elocution  some 
day.  And  so,  because 
from  a  child  little  Ann 
could  "speak  pieces"  in  a 
most  entertaining  way  and 
because  her  father  was 
proud  of  her  talent  and 
because  Ann  wanted  it 
very  much,  she  entered 
the  dramatic  school, 
where  she  continued  five 
years. 

"Father  never  seemed 
to  have  an  idea,"  she  said, 
"that  I  might  want  to  go 
on  the  stage.  Of  course, 
it  was  part  of  the  training 
that  the  pupils  of  the 
school  take  part  in  theat- 
ricals. Well,  when  dad 
found  out  how  'popular'  I 
was,  it  was  both  funny 
and  pathetic.  He  was 
proud  of  me,  as  he  was 
of  the  little  girl  who  spoke 
pieces  to  amuse  his  friends 
— but  he  didn't  like  my  pojjularity,  for  he  was  afraid  it  would 
'put  notions  in  my  head,'  and  he  ordered  me  to  sto[)  taking 
part  in  the  entertainments.  But  1  could  not  do  that  and  con- 
tinue at  the  school.  I  finished  the  course,  but  have  never  been 
on  the  stage — yet." 

"And  do  you  consider  that  your  dramatic  training  has  helped 
you  at  all  in  screen  work  ?" 

"Not  a  hit!"  she  smiled,  relaxing  into  a  corner  of  the  divan 
with  a  cup  of  tea  and  bit  of  pastry. 

"Of  course,  any  line  of  study  hel])s  one  to  concentrate  and 
is  good  mental  disci[)line.  Aside  from  that,  my  training  taught 
me  poise,  a  certain  amount,  at  least,  and  it  did  wonders  for 
my  voice.  It  was  worth  while  just  for  that — if  I  ever  get  a 
chance  to  use  my  voice.  But  as  to  technique — the  technique 
of  motion  picture  acting  is  not  to  be  learnt  at  a  dramatic 
school.  Of  course,  I  had  no  thought  of  pictures  then."

"TT'S  a  sightly  mornin'."  said  Caleb  West  contentedly,  "the 
I  ocean's  as  bright  and  blue  as  the  picter  on  an  insurance 
calendar."  He  hitched  his  chair  a  little  back  from  the  table 
and  fumbled  in  the  pocket  of  his  faded  blue  shirt  for  his  pipe. 
Bcliind  the  tin  coffee-iiot  his  wife,  Betty,  leaned  her  soft  chin 
on  her  clasped  hand,  looking  dreamily  away  thru  the  window 
at  the  ocean,  sparkling  in  the  early  sun. 

"I  like  it  better  when  it's  kind  o'  misty  and  mysterious,"  she 
confessed  shyly,  "and  you  can  imagine  the  fishing  boats  are — 
are  gondolas  and  the  summer  cottages  on  the  cliff  are  palaces 
an'  towers — " 

"Romancing  again!"  P.ut  Caleb's  tone  was  indulgent. 
"Wonder  why  'tis  that  you  young  folks  is  always  wanting 
something  different,  wishin'  today  was  tomorrer,  and  here  was 
somers  else.  Reckon  it's  because  they're  young — a  kind  o'  a 
disease  like  measles  or  chicken-po.x.  Time'll  cure  it.  Betty, 
like  it  has  me."  His  slightly  faded,  humorous  blue  eyes  were  a 
trifle  wistful  as  he  looked  across  at  the  fresh,  girl-face  opposite. 

She  shook  her  head.  "I  dont  want  to  be  cured  !  What  would 
be  the  use  o'  living  if  you  couldn't  look  ahead,  and  expect  some- 
thing beautiful  ?  I  want  to  go  everywhere,  and  see  everything 
and  feel  all  the  different  feelings  in  the  world !"  There  was  a 
kind  of  fierce  hunger  in  the  way  she  threw  out  her  arms.  He 
watched  her  somberly, 

"Reckon  I'm  too  old  for  such  junketing,  Betty,''  he  said 
quietly,  "you'll  have  to  go  to  those  furrin  places  alone," 

She  started  slightly,  as  one  coming  reluctantly  out  of  a  glor- 
ious dream.  Her  eyes  widened  as  they  turned  on  his  rugged, 
weatherbeaten  face  with  tlie  greying  hair  and  the  fine,  humor- 

(Thirty-niuc) 


ous  lines  about  the  eyes.  "(^h.  Caleb,  I  was  just  a-foolin'!" 
she  laughed,  and  ran  around  the  table  to  perch  on  his  chair 
arm,  "you  cant  get  rid  of  me  easy  as  that !  Besides  how'd  I 
enjoy  traveling  thru  the  Alps  and  ruins  and  pyramids  and 
thinking  of  you  having  to  eat  your  own  cooking?"  There  was 
only  mischief  in  her  vivid  face  now,  tho  his  eyes  were  watch- 
ful. .And  with  a  sigh  Caleb  West  got  to  his  feet.  "Building 
lighthouses  may  be  isn't  so  romantic,"  he  said,  "but  folks 
couldn't  travel  without  'em.  .\nd  you  couldn't  build  lighthouses 
without  laying  foundations  for  'em  first.  I'm  necdeil,  Betty, 
and  it's  good  to  feel  needed." 

She  went  to  the  door  with  him  and  lifted  her  face  to  his 
good-by  kiss.  "Be  careful,  Caleb,"  she  whispered  with  a  shud- 
der, "I  know  you're  a  master-diver,  but  sometimes  when  I  get 
to  thinkin'  of  you  down  uiider  tons  an'  tons  of  green  water 
seems  as  if  I'd  sh'd  scream.     I  need  you  too,  Caleb — " 

The  trouble  went  out  of  his  eyes  then,  and  lie  caught  her  to 
him  with  a  kind  of  clumsy  fervor  which  the  slim,  handsome 
youngster,  coming  U])  the  ])ath  noted  with  a  scowl.  That  old 
buzzard  an'  a  pretty  girl  like  her!  Why  he  might  be  her  father 
— all  of  fifty  he  must  be,  and  she  hardly  turned  twenty  yet. 

"Dont  think,  Blossom,"  Caleb  admonished,  "there's,  a  heap 
of  suffering  comes  from  thinking  about  troubles  that  ne.er 
happen. — Why,  hello.  Bill.     Coniin'  along  of  me,  eh?" 

Bill  Lacey  shook  his  dark  head.  "Maw's  gotanother  of  her 
headaches.  I  haven't  had  a  bite  of  breakfast — if  .Mrs.  West 
could  give  me  a  cup  o'  coffee — "' 

He  sat  before  his  filled  plate,  later,  making  small  pcetense  of 
eating,  while  his  eyes,  full  of  little  smoldering  sparks,  followed

to  the  bright  line  of  her  hair.  "Bill  Lacey,  are  you  stark  crazy  ?"

the  platform  with  its 
diving  api)aratus  and 
pigtny  figures,  the 
liotels  and  boats,  and 
white  road  winding  by 
were  the  same— yet 
subtly  dififerent.  Some- 
thing seeined  to  ha\e 
thrown  her  safe,  serene 
world  out  of  focus. 

A  red  racing  e.'ir 
panted  by  with  the 
gleam  of  a  yellow 
sweater  and  the  glitnpse 
of  a  white  flannel  suit. 
"Mr.  Sanford's  taking 
Mrs.  Leroy  out  to  the 
Point  again."  she  said 
vaguely  aloud,  and  sud- 
denly the  wor<ls  seemed 
to  take  on  sinister 
meaning  in  her  own 
ears.  "I  wish  he  hadn't 
come,  meddlitig."  she 
tliought  and  .detertnin- 
edly  resolved  to  think 
110  more.  She  worked 
all  the  morning  on  still 
blue  denim,  making  a 
shirt  for  Calel).  disci- 
plining her  fingers,  liy 
afternoon  Lacey's  wild 
speech  and  the  hurtful 
strangely  thrilling  grip 
of  his  fingers  on  her 
wrist  seemed  like  a 
feverish  dream.  She 
was  singing  as  she  began  her  preparations  for  an  extra  good 
sujiper.  but  the  song  broke  off  short  with  the  sound  of  heavy 
boots  on  the  pathway. 

She  turned  a  small   face,  bleached   with   fear  to  the  door. 
Caleb— O  (kid!     Dont  let  it  be  Caleb!" 

Her  husband's  ruddy  face  answered  her  prayer.  He  looked 
concerned.  "Betty,  young  Lacey's  had  an  accident,  rock  fell 
on  his  leg.  I  guess  it's  broke."  He  looked  at  her  guiltily. 
"I — I'm  having  him  brought  here.  Betty.  I  know  it'll  make  you 
a  hea))  of  extra  trouble,  but  you  know  his  maw's  only  a  step 
one.  and  besides  she's  kind  o'  an  invalid.  Do  you — mind .'" 
She  was  clinging  to  him.  sobbing.  "I  dont  mind  anything  so 
long's  ycm're  not  hurt!"  slie  chokeil.  "Oh.  Caleb,  but  you  gave 
me  such  .1  turn  !" 

Young  Lacey  proved  a  meek  and  docile  patient.    Pain  at  first, 
prudence  later  kept  him  from  touching  on  the  subject  they  had 

last  quarreled  over.  He  slept  a 
great  deal,  or  she  thought  that 
he  slept,  not  guessing  how  often 
the  heavy  black  lashes  hid  a 
gaze  that  followed  her  every 
movement.  His  grit  in  bearing 
the  ordeal  of  moving,  and  his 
helplessness  touched  her  jjity 
dangerously,  and  the  admira- 
tion that  he  let  her  see  now  and 
then  in  his  handsome  dark  eyes 
was  not  unpleasing — so  long  as 
he  did  not  put  it  into  words. 

When  he  judged  that  her 
defences  were  down  he  began 
to  talk,  maltcr-of-factly,  about 
every-day  things.  There  was  a 
youtig  eagerness  in  his  attitude 
toward  life  that  found  its  coni- 
plenient  in  her  own  vague,  rest- 
less yearnings.     Besides  he  had

traveled  somewhat,  a  fishintj  voyase  arotiiul  tlie  Cajie,  a  trip 
to  New' York,  and  lie  spoke  confidently  of  goin^  sonic  day  to 
the  West  Indies.  She  listened,  her  fingers  forgetting  to  hold 
the  needle,  her  eves  wide  with  gazing  at  the  far  places  of  her 
fancy. 

"I'd  like  to  see  things,"  she  confided,  "hut  I  gncss  I  never 
shall."     She  sighed,  "Caleb  likes  to  stay  pnt." 

"He  would."  Lacey  agreed,  kindly  tolerant,  "folks  lose  that 
when  they  get  his  age — wanting  to  go  places.  I  mean. — and 
discover  life."  Silence  lay  over  the  room.  Into  it  came,  pres- 
ently, the  sputtering  cough  of  a  recklessly  driven  motor.  "San- 
ford's  going  to  hit  a  snag  some  day."  the  boy  said,  choosing  his 
words,  and  watching  her  averted  face  under  lowered  lashes, 
"anybody  with  him  this  time  ?" 

She  looked,  answered  almost  unwillingly.     "Mrs.  Leroy." 

"1  thcmght  so."  said  Lacey.  "she  usually  is.     Well,  you  cant 
blame  a  jiretty  woman  like  her  for  wanting  something  more 
than  that  husband  of  hers  can  give  her.     He's  slow — Leroy  is. 
doesn't    talk    much  —  always 
reading  a  paper.    I  guess  he's 
older  than  she  is,  too." 

That  was  all  then.  He  man- 
aged it  cunningly  and  with  in- 
finite patience.  When  Caleb 
was  present  he  always  seemed 
to  defer  to  him,  but  managed 
to  make  him  seem  older,  grey- 
er and  more  unromantic  than 
ever  in  contrast  to  his  dark 
youth  and  eagerness.  He  saw 
her  sometimes  glance  from 
one  of  them  to  the  other,  and 
then  run  to  Caleb's  chair  and 
perch  on  it  and  lay  her  bright 
head  on  his  dusty  one  almost 
defiantly.  Lacey  could  have 
leapt  from  his  bed  and 
snatched  her  away  in  the  con- 
suming jealousy  that  swept 
him  at  the  sight,  but  he  only 
smiled.  He  loved  Betty  West, 
selfishly,  perhaps,  but  as  much 
as  it  was  in  him  to  love — and 
he  waited  his  time  to  possess 
what  he  wanted. 

It  came  presently.  He  was 
not  quite  certain  of  her,  but 
he  dared  not  wait.  There  was 
no  longer  any  excuse  for  his 
staying.  He  could  limp  about 
the  house,  could  have  walked 
without  limping,  indeed,  "to- 
morrow." he  said,  as  he  sat  on 
the  seaward-looking  porch, 
while  she  shelled  peas,  "to- 
morrow I'll  be  gone — " 

A  pod  slipped  in  her  fingers, 
scattering  its  green  globes 
over  the  grass.  She  bent  over 
the  pan.  "Tomorrow '  Yes. 
— I  suppose — you'll  have  to 
go  back  to  work." 

He  spoke  in  a  low  tone. 
".\re  you  sorry.  Hetty?  Are 
you  going  to  miss  me?" 

She  tried  to  smile.  "Of 
course  I  There  wont  be  any- 
body to  praise  my  piuUlings ! 
Caleb  never  notices  what  he's 
eating — " 

She  paused,  beginning  to

hands  prisoned  and  his  eves

"Oh,    1    couldn't!"   she  (juivcred,   but   she   felt   as  tho  strong

Semon  the  Jester 

By  HARRISON  HASKINS 


WHEN  .we   were   invited   to   luncheon   witn 
Larry  Senion  at  the  Hotel  Astor.  we  made 
one   condition  —  that  no  custard   pies   or 
spaghetti  would  be  served. 

One  cannot  be  too  careful  with  movie  come- 
dians. 

But — seriously — Semon  is  no  mere  clown.  No 
screen  player  we  know  has  a  more  alert  bvisiness 
brain  or  does  clearer  thinking.  His  long  newspaper 
career,  which  preceeded  his  film  debut,  gave  hiiii 
an  unusual  viewpoint. 

Only  a  few  years  ago  he  was  feature  sporting 
cartoonist  on  The  Neiv  York  Evening  Snn.  Before 
that  he  was  on  the  art  staff  of  The  New  York 
Telegram,  The  Morning  Telegrapli  and  Tlie  New 
York  Herald.  But  the  real  incentive  which  led  him 
to  film  comedy  dates  back  still  further. 

Semon  comes  of  a  picturesque  family  of  theat- 
rical adventurers.     His  youth  was  not  the 
youth   of   the   average   boy.     Instead   of 
baseball,  marbles  and  the  back  lots,  it  was         ^^-^  ^i 
spent    in    backwoods    town    halls,    remote 
railway     stations     and 
dingy  trains. 

To    go   back    to   the 
beginning : 

Semou's  grandfather 
was  connected  with  the  tours  of 
the  magician,  Herman  the  Great. 
The  comedian's  father  naturally 
became  interested  in  magic  and 
took  up  the  work.  The  elder 
Senion  became  Zera  the  (jreat. 
and  toured  the  country  as  a 
magician,  hypnoti'it  and  ventril- 
oquist, accompanied  by  his  wife 
and  the  boy,  Larry.  He  carried 
a  vaudeville  company  with  him 
and  comedy,  tumbling  and  other 
miscellaneous  acts  were  inter- 
spersed with  the  mysterious  il- 
lusions of  the  Great  Zera. 


For  a  long  time  Larry  Semon  was  a  news- 
paper cartoonist.  Then  he  turned  to  motion 
pictures — with  remarkable  success.  "I  do  all 
my  work  myself,"  says  Semon.  "I  do  not  use 
doubles.  Naturally  we  take  lots  of  chances 
and,  let  me  add,  there  is  less  faking  in  my 
comedies  than  in  most  farce  productions" 


wsaji^sjsm}i£MM}&miasa}im,.. 


Larry,    of    course,    was 
called  upon  to  assist  in  var- 
ious ways  and,  in  time,  he 
became    a     proficient    and 
versatile    performer.     One 
night    would    find   him    an 
acrobat,    another    a    hyp- 
notic   subject,     again     he 
would     be     a     comedian, 
just  as  the  needs  of  the 
little   barn-storming   com- 
pany developed. 

Larry  himself  wanted 
to  be  a  singer  but  fate — 
and  his  father  —  inter- 
posed. He  lost  his  voice. 
And  his  father,  tired  of 
the  struggle  of  pioneer 
stage  work,  wanted  his 
son  to  do  something  dif- 
ferent. Both  the  elder 
Semon  and  his  son  had  a 
certain  knack  of  carica- 
turing. Residt — the  boy 
was  sent  to  art  school. 

Finishing  his  course, 
Semon  secured  his  first 
employment  on  The  New 
York  Herald.  He  ad- 
vanced until  he  occupied 
the  first  comic  post  with 
The  Evening  Sun.

How  "Earthbound"  Was  Made 


By 
JAMESON  SEWELL 


PKOBAP.l.V  no  niotiuii  picture  story  yet  filmed  i)resente(l  the  (liltitiilties 
offered  by  liasil  King's  psychic  novel,  "Earthbound."  Hence  the  story 
of  the  director,  T:  Hayes  Hunter,  is  of  uni(|ue  interest. 
l''irst,  "Marthbound"  required  seven  months  for  its  develojimenl  fmni  the 
l)rinted  page  to  the  photoplay  screen.  I'our  months  Vi^ere  actually  occupieil 
in  filming  the  story  at  the  Goldwyn  coast  studios.  Mr.  Hunter  actually  shot 
iyO,0(X)  feet  of  film,  which  were  cut  down  to  7,600  feet,  the  final  length  of 
the  completed  screen  production. 

To  those  who  have  not  yet  seen  "Earthbound."  sonicthing  of  an  explanation 
is  in  order.     The  I'.asil  King  novel  traces  a  domestic  tragedy  which  culminates 
in  the  murder  of  the  other  man  by  the  husband  and  then  goes  on  to  show  the 
regeneration  of  the  dead  man  after  death — how  his  spirit  readjusts  two  shat- 
tered  houseliolds  to   the  best  of  his    (or  sliall    we   say   its)    ability.     Thru   a 
great  deal  of  tlie  story  the  chief   protagonist  moves  in  shadowy  spirit   form. 
This  necessitated   double   ex|)osures  and   the   most   adroit   camera   trickery, 
be   exact,   there   were    166  double   exjMsure  scenes  in   "Earthbound."     Successful 
double  exposure  work  can  only  be  obtained    by   the   most   careful  and   painstaking 
camera  work. 

i!ut  let  Mr.  Hunter  himself  ex])lain 

"Let  us  assume  I  intended  to  photograjjh  a  scene  in  which  the  spirit  talked  to 

his  living  friend.     I   first  rehearsed  the  two  actors  tcjgether  in  the  scene  as  it 

would  be  screen  visualized.    Then  I  timed  the  action,  using  a  ticking  metronome 

to  standardize  our  count.     For  instance,  at  the  count  of  63  we  would  find  that 

the  ghost  started  speaking,  that  at  79  he  stopped,,  that  at  8.S  the  material  figure 

felt  his  presence  and  turned  around,  that  at  96  the  spirit  materialized  to  be 

visible  to  the  living  man.  that  at  115  the  spirit  walked  over  and  put  his  arm 

on  the  other's  shoulder,  that  at  169  the  living  man  .show'ed  visible  emotion  as 

a  result  of  the  otlier's  words,  that  at  175  the  ghost  started  to  dis.solve  out, 

taking  eight  counts  to  become  nothing. 

"You  can  realize  that,  if  we  depended  upon  a  human  count,  an  inac- 
curacy would  be  bound  to  occur.     The  metronome  kept  this  in  perfect 
measure,  even  the  cameraman  grinding  to  its  beat. 

"Let  us  assume  that  we  have  carefully   reliearsed  and  timed  every

The  Celluloid  Critic 

The  Month's  Photoplavs  in  Review 


Bv  Frt'deiick  James  Smith 


AN   u(kl  and  liuiiicly  little  tale.  >liiiiiiig  uut  of  an  execedinglv 
dull  photoplay  month  is  "Honest  Hutch,"  an  unpretentious 
Will  Rogers  effort  which,  to  our  way  of  thinking,  is  the 
best  thing  ever  done  by  Goklwyn.      Interesting  it  is  to  see  this 
simple  story  of  a  village  loafer  easily  displace  all  the  expendituri' 
and  elaborateness  of  a  long  line  of  Goklwyn  productions. 

"Honest  Hutch"  is  just  another  proof  tliat  real  film  drama  is 
the   drama  of   every-day   life,   minus  cla])trai)   and   melodrama — 
that  the  really  big  play  may  revolve  around  the  simjilcst 
daily  events. 

"Honest  Hutch,"  which  by  the  way,  is  built  fr.nn  a  short 
story  by  Garrett  Smitli,  has  a  delightfully  (koli  thesis  The 
shiftless,  happy-go-lucky  Hutch,  with  his  embittere<l 
drudge  of  a  wife  and  his  brood  of  ragged  children,  lives 
a  life  of  utter  laziness — until  he  finds  a  bo.x  containing 
fifty  thousand  dollars  in  SiO.OOO  bills.  Hutch  suddenly 
realizes  that  the  money  is  useless  to  him,  since  no  one  vvili 
believe  him  the  possessor  of  an  honestly  acquired  $10,000 
bill.  It  is  a  case  of  going  to  work,  thus  aci|uiring  a  repu- 
tation cc|ual  to  his  money,  or  throwing  the  fifty  thousand 
away.  Hutch,  reluctantly,  goes  to  work,  altho  he  has  a 
sneaking  doubt  that  the  money  isn't  worth  the  labor.  How, 
in  the  end,  he  finds  real  joy  in  work — and  in  bringing 
happiness  to  his  family — is  brought  out  with  homely 
humor. 

Rogers  is  Hutch  to  the  life.  It  is  an  honest,  close  to 
the  soil  performance,  and  his  best  celluloid  role  thus  far. 
We  congratulate  h.ini.  ( )ur  hat  is  off,  too,  to  Clarence 
Badger  for  his  directorial  handling  of  "Honest   Hutch." 

In  interesting  contrast  to""Honest  Hutch"  is  "Madame 
X,"  Goldwyn's  visualization  of  .^.lexandre  Bisson's  super- 
heated Parisian  melodrama.     With  all  its  expensive  out- 
lay, "Madame  X"  does  not  come  within  a  hundred  miles  of  "Hone 
closeness  to  life. 

Bisson  is  a  master  of  adroit  stage  techni(|ue.  He  knows  how  Xi>  build 
with  fine  theatric  effectiveness.  His  characters  may  be  puppets  neatly 
maneuvered  to  get  the  greatest  dramatic  efifect,  but  lie,  at  least,  achieves 
the  result  he  seeks.     "Madame  X"  has  a  scene  of  big  emotional  ajjpeal. 

".Madame  X"  tells  the  story  of  a  young  French  wife  who  leaves  her 
husband  and  baby-boy  for  love  of  another.  Later,  when  her  husband 
refuses  to  forgive  her,  she  drifts  to  the  moral  de|)ths,  a  drug  wreck.  Finally, 
she  commits  murder  and  is  brought  to  trial.  Without  realizing  her  identity, 
htr  hu.sband.  now  a  man  of  affairs,  is  a  visitor  in  the  court-room  while 
their  son  is  appointed  to  defend  her.  She  is  steadfast  in  her  refusal  to 
say  a  word,  but  the  boy  by  a  brilliant  and  impassioned  speech,  wrings  a 
verdict  of  "not  guilty"  from  the  jury.  Then  her  wrecked  constitution 
gives  way,  but  not  until  there  is  a  reconciliation. 

This  court-room  scene  was  an  electric  thing  behind  the  footlights,  but 
it  is  lost  in  the  screen  adaptation.  This  is  due  to  several  reasons.  Director 
[•"rank  Lloyd  launches  his  story  in  loo  high  an  emotional  key.  Consequently, 
he  steadily  loses  effectiveness.  .Again.  Pauline  Frederick  did  not  touch 
us  anywhere  as  the  wretched  Jac(|ueline.  Her  performance,  in  a  measure 
due  to  the  director,  of  course,  lacks  all  gradation.  From  start  to  finish 
it  is  a  drab  uncolored  thing  on  the  verge  of  hysteria,  without  the  building 
u])  necessary  for  sympathetic  appeal.  Again,  Casson  F'erguson  is  an  un- 
fortunate choice  as  the  son.  Here  is  a  big  role  in  every  sense  of  the  word. 
What  Richard  Barthelmess  could  have  done  with  it!  Indeed,  the  whole 
cast  of  "Madame  X"  disappointed  us.

storv,  liad  enough  theatric  ingredients,  including  a  forest  fire,  to  have  been 
an  effective  ]iicture.     It  fell  down  largely  thru  inferior  direction. 

\\'ith  the  Canadian- Northwest  as  his  background,  Curwood  has  unfolded 
a  story  of  a  cruel  factor,  his  scoundrelly  son,  an  innocent  cutie  of  the  wood-

Each  of  these  yoiinj;

lie  known  as  a  Gold- 
Medalist  of  the  1920

Contest.

equijiped    girl,'   with 
sunset  eyes  and  hair, 
and  her  frier.ds  will 
not   be   surprisetl   to 
read    here    that     for 
grace,  charm,  beauty 
and    photographic 
picturesqueness  the 
contest  has  produced 
no  superiors.  In  fact, 
we    have    already 
placed   her  with  the 
Famous     Players- 
I-asky   Company   on 
a  five-year  contract, 
and    you    will    soon 
Iiear    mucli    of    this 
unusual  girl. 

Helen    DeWitt    is 
none  other  than  the 
violinist   who    for 
years    toured    the 
world  with  iMarlame 
Gadski   and    Sousa's 
Band  as  soloist.    She 
is  a  little  blonde  of 
classic   beauty,    with 
golden  hair  and  big 
bhie     eyes,     and     is 
about   twenty   years 
of  age.     The  Metro 
Company  has  already 
engaged  her  to  play 
in  Bert  Lytel  produc- 
tions,  and   the  con- 
cert  platform's   loss 
is  the  screen's  gain. 

Beth    Logan    is   a 
distinct   type   and   a 
real  discovery.     She 
is  about  five  feet  five 
in   height,    slight   of 
figure,     with     large, 
dark,  sparkling  eyes, 
and  is  full  of  vivac-

no    doubt    that    the

It  re(|uires  but  a  moment's  chat  to  discover  that  the  guiding  in-

to  learn   that   Eileen   I'ercy  is  a  .

ing her  birthplace. 

However,  she  was  still  a  wee 
baby  when  the  family  came  over  to  tliis  coun- 
try, so  the  first  part  of  her  journey  to  the  sil- 
verslieet  was  made  in  her  mother's  arms,  but 
the  latter  part  was  made  alone  on  the  trim  and 
indei)en(lent  feet  of  the  "colleen"  herself.

tled in  N'ew  York  City,  where  the  five  children, 
three  brothers,  a  little  sister,  Thelma.  an<l 
Eileen,  herself,  grew  up. 

Eileen  attended  school  in  New  York  and 
Krooklyn.  then  was  sent  to  a  Sisters'  Convent. 

She  wasn't  very  big  when  she  began  |)os-

their  ilelight  in  drawing  the  girl's  piquant  little  face,  with  the  wide  eyes 
that  are  set  far  apart,  continually  changing  color,  ranging  from  the  deejiest 
blues  thru  various  greys  to  a  hivcly  green.

nieiiiory  she  adores  and  is  to  the  people 
from  her  island  who  seek  her  pictnres  in 
American  theaters. 

I  saw  it  all  as  we  were  sitting  in  her 
bungalow  dressing-room,  where  her  per- 
fectly molded  features,  masses  of  glossy 
hair  and  fair  complexion  were  enhanced 
by  the  artistic  decorations  in  soft  shades 
of  orchid.  These  bungalows  arc  all  the 
fashion  at  the  Hollywood  studios,  for  the 
idea,  started  several  years  ago  by  Mary 
I'ickford's  cunning  bird-cage  in  the  cor- 
ner of  the  f.asky  lot,  has  met  with  favor. 
At  the  Fox  studio,  each  star  has  a  jirctty 
grey  bungalow  set  in  a  lovely  garden, 
and  Eileen,  now  a  Fox  star,  has  in  hers 
an  effective  setting  for  her  daintiness, 
which  does  not  destroy  the  glamour  of 
romance. 

Her  humor  is  of  the  quiet  kind,  and 
the  she  looks  the  part  of  the  peaches 
and  cream  girl,  she  has  a  remarkably 
sane  balance,  governed  by  a  happy  view- 
])oint  of  life,  with  a  safe  margin  of  spirit 
— when  the  occasion  demands. 

"Being  with  Mr.  Fairbanks  was  a  very 
wonderful  experience,"  Miss  Percy  was. 
telling  me,  "and  I  shall  never  be  grate- 
ful enough  for  all  I  learned  with  him,  but 
I  found  it  a  pretty  big  jump  from  The 
Follies,  to  playing  lead  with  one  of  the 
foremost  film-stars.  I 
became  discouraged 
after  completing  five 
pictures  and  decided 
to  give  them  up.  I

she  went  on,  "and  I 
suddenly  realized  that 
to  succeed  I  must  get 
right  down  to  hard 
work  and  seriously 
study  this  work.  The  screen  is  illuminating,  for 
it  reaches  the  thought  behind  the  action  and  this 
is,  after  all,  tlie  very  point  on  which  the  finely 
balanced  ball  of  success  is  poi.sed.  If  the  founda-

crumbles — ,  this  is  so  with  everything,  motion 
pictures  and  life  itself.

ambition  to  make  a  worthy  name  for  myself.

Dinty  stood  his  grounri 
squarely,  legs  ()lantc(l 
sturdily  apart,  blue  eyes 
level,  lie  repeated  his 
assertion.  It  was  said 
withoiU  l)ravado.  sini])le 
as  part  of  the'  boy's 
oreed. 

The  third  District  .\t- 
lorney  eyed  the  small 
and  evidently  Irish  face. 

■'You're  from  the  auld 
eounthrce"  he  said,  with 
a  smile  and  a  brogue. 

O  i  n  t  y '  s  1 1 1  u  e  eyes 
gliiited. 

"Yessir,"  he  said, 
"we've  a  story,  we  have. 
,\  rare  one." 

■"rdl  it  nie." 

Ihc  third  District  .\t- 
torney  seldom  squan- 
dered his  valuable  time 
so  freely.  More  or  less 
of  a  humanitarian,  he 
h.ul  learned  to  reject 
nnich  of  the  flotsam 
drifting  in  to  him  in  these 
quarters.  Kspecially,  the 
ones  with  "stories." 
(jene rally,  the  fiction 
was  connivance  in  one 
form  or  another,  more 
or  less  ingeniously 
masked.  Dinty  seemed 
difl'erent.  There  was  a 
liglit  in  his  blue  eyes, 
wide  eyes  suggestive  of 
strain  and  slee()lessness, 

there  were  faint  hollows  in  his  too-\oung  cheeks  and  an  irresist- 
ible and  unquenchable  humor  in  bis  smile,  a  ready  smile. 

"My  mother  was  Doreen  .\dair,"  the  lad  said,  as  tho  he  loved 
the  dark  romance  of  his  telling:  "she  was  in  love,  very  greatly 
in  lo\e  she  was,  with  Danny  O'Sullivan.  He  had  eyes  like  me. 
that  Danny.  There  are  many  times  when  my  mother,  not  so 
well  as  at  other  times,  sir.  kisses  my  two  eyes  and  says  'fer 
you.  Danny-arragh'.  She  forgets-like.  They  married  secretly, 
the  pair  of  'em.  Doreen  .Vclair  had  a  landed  father  and  oh, 
such  a  lady-mother;  luiglish,  she  was.  I've  heard  of  her  often. 
I, aces,  she  wore,  and  little  tip-tilty  caps  and  a  haughty  air. 
Danny  ( )'Sullivan  wasn't  good  enough  for  the  likes  of  an 
.\dair.  .And  so  they  got  married,  and  then  Danny  got  wind  of  a 
job  in  .America  and  he  told  Doreen  how  that  he'd  go  over  where 
gold  was  growing  like  sumac  at  home  and  then  he'd  send  for 
her,  and  after  a  bit  they'd  go  home  again.  Cnesus-like  an<l  rich 
and  the  proud  mother  of  Doreen  would  how  her  haughty  head." 
Dinty  vouchsafed  a  smile.  "It  didn't  happen  like  tliat."  he  said. 
"  'cause  /  came  first,  and  then,  when  Doreen  got  here.  Daiuiy 
had  been  kilt  onlv  three  days  before."  \  little  tenderness  actual 
in  its  significance  touched  the  lad's  sensitive  mouth,  "it  was  a 
battle  the  little  woman  had  to  fight  then."  he  said,  "with  me  a 
babe  as  helpless  as  helpless  and  nary  a  cent,  nor  kin,  nor  friends, 
lint  it  takes  the  Irish !  Her  proud  mother  and  her  stormy  father

and  she  worked  by  night  and  her  body  got  thin  and  stooped  .i.i.l 
her  ])retty  liair  thinned  and  there's  siller  in  it,  and  her  feet  lo-i 
their  sha])es,  slie  saifl,  and  her  liands  got  twisted  and  poor-like 
and  after  a  while  a  doctor  told  her  .  .  .  her  lungs  had  to  be 
'humored.'  but,  at  first,  she  couldn't  humor  them,  owing  to 
the  work  and  the  hard  times  and  all.  Hut  now  .  .  .  now  .  .  ." 
the  embryo  man  ijuft'ed  his  own  exceeding  small  chest.  "I'm  the 
man  of  tlie  family,  now,"  he  said.  "I  work  by  day  and  by  night 
J  take  care  of  Doreen.  I  feed  her  and  make  her  all  comfy, 
same  as  she  did  for  me,  and  I  think  she's  mostly  hap])y.  .\'ow 
and  then  she  takes  me  for  Danny  O'.'sullivan,  and  not  just  Dinty. 
and  then  she  smiles  and  looks  like  the  little  picture  of  her  taken 
on  her  father's  estate,  all  curls  and  frills  and  laughing,  .^n  it's 
mostly  all  right." 

"But  some  of  it  isn't?  .Some  of  it  is  figlit,  eb  ?"  The  young 
third  District  .Attorney  felt  a  suspicious  stinging  of  his  eye- 
balls.   Nor  was  he,  in  any  sense,  a  sentimentalist, 

"Well,  it's  like  this.  I'm  selling  pajiers.  Me  and  Water- 
millions,  he's  black  outward  and  white  inward,  and  Chinkie. 
he's  yeller,  but  the  same  applies  to  the  inner.  We're  up  against 
a  gang,  l.evinsky's  the  head  of  it.  Levinsky's  a  bird.  He 
makes  life  hard  for  mc  and  for  Watermillions  and  Chinkie. 
He  has  all  the  best  corners,  you  sec,  for  his  gang.  Whenever 
one  of  us  gets  going  good  and  gets  a  trade,  he  takes  our  corner^ 


MOTION    PICTURE 


Another  Chinaman  had 
accompanied  them  and 
they  had  taken  the  white 
woman  into  a  banquet 
hall,  all  red  and  black 
lacquer,  couches  and  weird 
contrivances  for  pleasure 
and  for  torture

lidld.  not  that  way.  and  we  dont 
get  on  very  firm  or  very  fast.  I 
'spose  gangs  must  be  gangs." 

The  third  District  .Attorney 
fingered  his  lost  wallet,  contain- 
ing its  thick  wad  of  bills  and 
other,  valuables,  that  hour  re- 
turned untouched,  by  Dinty.  There  were  not.  in  his  section. 
many  Dintys.  Painful  experience,  the  jiainful  exjieriences  of 
others,  had  taught  him  that.  Dinty  bad  refused  reward  in  the 
shape  of  a.tenner.  despite  the  sick,  beloved  Dorecn  and  the  gang 
and  the  jireempted  corners. 

John  Xorth  rose  and  clapped  the  small  man  on  one  lean  but 
unflinching  shoulder. 

"Keep  a  stout  heart,  my  friend,"  he  said,  "and  we'll  see  what 
can  be  done." 

.\  week  later  Dinty  received  a  communication  from  the  third 
District  .Xttorney.  It  requested  the  honor  of  an  interview. 
I'he  sum  and  substance  of  the 
interview  was  that  Dinty  ac- 
cepted a  loan,  on  a  strict  busi- 
ness basis,  wherewith  he  col- 
lected a  .selling  force  of  his  own, 
inclusive,  of  course,  of  Chinkie 
and  Watennillions.  bought  up 
some  corners,  and  became  the 
leader  of  a  gang  of  little  fellers 
to  oppose  Levinsky's  big  fellers. 
Xorth  also  insure<l  the  little 
tellers  police  protection. 

Dinty  was  exuberant.  His 
mother's  teaching  was  right  as 
right.  The  white  light  of  it 
burned  on  the  zealous  altar  of 
his  soul.

which  it  was  heralded 
that  Judge  Whitley's 
twenty-year-old  daugh- 
ter Ruth  had  been  ab- 
ducted from  her  home : 
that  foul  play  was  .sus- 
pected ;  that  the  Secret 
Service  was  operating, 
etc.,  etc.  It  stated,  fur- 
ther, that  Judge  Whit- 
ley had  been  the  instiga- 
tor of  the  recent  very 
vigorous  campaign  to 
clean  up  Chinatown, 
further  deductions  as  to 
the  local  source  of  the 
abduction  were  unneces- 
sary. 

Dinjy  read  it  with  a 
(|ui\er  of  his  small  mus- 
cles. He  had  the  ele- 
ments of  chivalry  and  it 
made  him  shudder  to 
think  that  in  that  fester- 
ing alley  and  byway, 
among  tlte  Eurasians 
who  moved  about  with 
padded,  sinister  foot- 
steps, scorned  alike  by 
Chinese  and  white,  a 
white  girl,  gentle  and 
high-born,  was  secreted. 
When  he  leariied  that 
John  North  loved  her. 
even  as,  zenith  of  all  ro- 
mance, Danny  O'Sulli- 
van had  lo\ed  t!ie  young  Oorecn,  all  liis  Irish  was  up. 

He  ached  to  conspire.  He  dreamed  fitfully  of  the  fia.sh  of 
knives  and  the  snarl  of  teeth  in  pallid  yellow  faces.  His  vivid 
imagination  showed  him  secret  panels  and  underground  dun- 
geons and  holes  beneath  the  earth,  foully  conspiring  to  blood- 
curdling conspiracies. 

He  told  North  all  he  knew  and  all  that  he  had  heard  of  the 
desperadoes  of  Chinatown. 

"It's  one  of  the  Malays."  he  said.  "I  can  bet.  It's  one  of 
them  half-breed  Malays.  They  cling  together  like  glue.  There's 
Dorkh.  for  instance.  He's  got  some  white  in  him.  That  makes 
him  a'l  the  worse.  It  makes  him  cunning.  Chinkie's  scared  to 
fits  of  Dorkh  and  his  sister  is  Dorkh's  Chinese  wife.  She's 
scared  to  fits  of  him  too.  She's  only  a  kid.  fifteen.  Thin  and 
lemon  colored  with  terrified  eyes.  I  u.seter  look  like  that  in  the 
dark,  once.     I'll  bet  it's  Dorkh." 

That  night  Dinlv's  susjiicion  was  confirmed  by  ludge  Whit- 
ley. 

.North  called  on  him  and  told  him  of  his  talk  with  Dinty.  "I 
try  to  draw  him  out."  he  said,  "very  often  those  kids  are  .scav- 
engers of  information,  and 
Dinty "s  would  be  straight." 
Whitley  groaned. 
"It  is  Dorkh."  he  s'aid.  "I've 
been  keeping  it  to  myself  for  a 
twofold  reason;  first,  because  I 
feared  further  enmity  if  pub- 
licity got  out  and.  secondly.  I 
had  no  confirmatory  word.  To- 
night I  got  a  message  direct.  .A 
month  ago  I  sentenced  his  son 
to  San  Quentin  for  killing  a 
Chinaman  in  a  gambling  row'.

in  his  svelte  way.  Naturally,  I 
refused  the  bribe.  He  left  ine,

"You  see,  1  had  originally 
planned  this  trip  solely  for 
the    purpose    of    gathering 
material  for  a  coast  to  coast 
lecture-tour    in    connection 
with  niv  missionary  work. 
I  have  for  nine  years  lived 
witli  these  people,  who  are  s<j  pathet- 
ically   untouched    by    the    hand    nf 
civilization.    I  wished  to  arouse  the 
interest  of  .America,  and  to  get  her 
help    for    the.se    ignorant    children. 
Mr.  Jesse  Lasky  heard  of  my  pro- 
jected   trip    and    most    generously 
offered  to  finance  it  if  I  would  take 
a   camera-inan   along   and   jirocure 
some    motion    pictures.      .\lso    my 
missionary    work    is    to    receive    a 
certain   percentage   of   the   returns 
from  the  pictures  when  they  are  re-

Mambuti.  As  I  have  said  before,  they  are  a  very  timorous  little 
peojile  and,  upon  the  first  inkling  of  our  approach,  they  fled, 
leaving  the  villages  quite  emi>ty.  However,  they  were  coaxed 
back  thru  intermediaries,  and  finally  became  quite  friendly,  jjosing 
for  pictures  and  dancing  for  us.  I  lived  in  one  of  their  villages 
for  some  weeks,  making  a  thoro  investigation  of  their  habits,  their

Juanita  Hansen  has  a 
sort  of  hovering  solici- 
tude which  one  might 
not  expect,  perhaps,  of 
her  somewhat  sensa- 
tional appearance.  She 
has  a  super-ability  to 
wear  clothes  startling- 
ly — at  the  same  time 
this  does  not  mitigate 
the  kind  heart  beneath 
the  latest  Lucile 
model 


OF  course,  I  knew  that 
Juanita  Hansen  had  had 
an  apartment  or  a  bun- 
galow or  something  or  other 
in  California  with  Mary 
Thurman ;  that  she  had  been 
one  of  the  famous  Mack  Sen- 
nett  bathing  girls  and  that  she 
had  rather  recently  changed 
her  line,  as  it  were.  I  knew 
that  she  was  but  newly  ar- 
rived in  New  York ;  that  she 
was   effectively    blonde   and 

that  she  was  occupying  Texas  Guinan's  apartment  in  the 
precincts  of  the  village'  known  as  Greenwich.  This  last 
I  knew  with  a  beautiful  definiteness,  because  she  had 
cozily  invited  me  to  dinner,  and  I  always  a.scertain  dinner 
addresses  ...  I  am  an  interviewer. 

These  facts,  above  related,  were  the  only  facts  in  my 
possession.  I  had  heard,  tho,  come  to  think  of  it,  that 
■iome  glib  soul  had  observed  that  Texas  Guinan's  apart- 
ment resembled  the  large  set  in  "Intolerance,"  and,  having 
seen  Miss  Hansen  photographically,  I  anticipated  an — 
well,  graphic  evening.     I  got  it. 

I  was  greeted  by  a  vision,  nothing  else,  nothing  less, 
with  hair  blonde  and  bobbed,  in  Turkish  costume  of  an 
extreme  effectiveness,  even  to  the  bound  ankles. 

"1  always,"  scid  Miss  Hansen,  "wear  this  thing  around 
the  house.  It  is  a  habit  with  me.  Just  before  I  left  Cali- 
fornia, tho,  I  was  throwing  away  a  lot  of  things  and  was 
about  to  include  this  in  the  lot,  when  Texas  Guinan  came

in  and  advised  me  to  keep  it.  'You'll  need  it,' 
she  told  me,  'in  my  apartment.'  I  find  that  I 
do.     It,  sort  of  fits  in." 

Miss  Hansen  was  hospitable  plus  over  a 
charming  dinner-table  containing  not  merely 
charm  but  food,  substantially  speaking  as 
well  .  .  .  delectalile  and  exceedingly  gooey 
chocolate  cake  inclusive. 

Juanita  occupied  a  tall  and  carven  chair  of 
somber  hue  and  looked  startling  .  .  .  like  a 
glad  sort  of  picture,  framed. 

.'^he  has  a  .sort  of  hovering  solicitude  which 
one  might  not  expect,  perhaps,  of  her  some- 
what sensational  appearance.  One  knows, 
however,  that  the  sensational  appearance,  the 
super-ability  to  wear  clothes  startlingly,  does 
not  mitigate  the  kind  heart  beneath  the  Lu- 
ciles.  if  they  be  Luciles. 

There  is  an  air  about  her  at  once  of  minis- 
tration and  childlike  pleasure. 

She  had  never  been  in  New  York  before, 
which  I ,  did  not  know.  It  is,  I  suppose, 
always  .something  of  a  shock  to  a  born  and 
bred  New  Yorker  to  encounter  a  person  who 
has  never  before  so  much  as  seen  the  famous

sky-line.  "I  nearly,"  she  told  nie,  "went  crazy 
the  first  night  I  arrived.  Some  friends  met  me 
and  took  me  some  place  to  dine  ...  I  dont 
know  where  ...  I  was  so  excited  and  seeing  so 
many  things  all  at  once,  so  it  seemed  to  me.  I 
just  kept  bobbing  from  one  side  of  the  taxi  to  the 
other,  asking  questions  galore  and  always  coming 
hack  to  'Where  is  the  Statue  of  Liberty !''  I  thought 
I  couldn't  be  hajipy  until  I  had  seen  that." 

After  dinner  we  insjiected  some  creative  fab- 
rics known,  commonly,  as  gowns ;  likewise  hats 
and  vamp  negligees  and  such-like  triumphs.  I 
discovered  in  tlie  delicate  process  the  innate 
good  nature  of  Juanita,  a  sort  of  ready  and  open 
obligingness  pleasing  to  find.  Tired  from  a  long 
day  at  the  studio,  strenuously  serialing,  antici- 
pating a  repetition  of  the  same  early  the  follow- 
ing morning,  she  still  tried  on  the  various  hats 
and  gowns  for  us,  (her  secretary,  her  P.  .\.  and 
>ne),  with  unvarying  eclat  and  with  varied  and 
always  bewildering  achievement. 

Then  we  went  into  the  dimly  lit,  mirror-hung, 
exotic  living-room  and  toasted  our  feet  against  a 
coal  grate  .  .  .  and  talked  ...  I  asked  her 
what  had  induced  her  to  leave  the  Sennett  line 
of  work,  et  al.

said;    "I  'had    al- 
ways   been    very 
self-depreciatory 
and  without  any 
.self-confidence    at 
all.      I    thought 
every   one    I   saw- 
was    so    supremely 
much    better    than 
anything  1   was  or 
was    doing    that    I 
would  come  away  completely  crushed  and  dis- 
couraged.   I'd  see  Lillian  Gish,  or  Norma  Tal- 
madge,   or  Blanche   Sweet,   and   I   would   go 
home  and  think,  'Oh,  they  are  zvondcrful!    I 
can  never  be  like  that.'  and  I  would  be  so  blue 
I    would  be   actually   in   despair.      Then,   one 
day,  it  came  to  me  like  a  flash  that  each  one  of 
us  has  his  or  her  own  ])articular  place  in  the 
scheme  of  things  which  no  other  person  can 
possibly  fill  or  even  touch.     No  matter  how 
small  the  place,  it  is  our  own  place,  uniquely, 
to  do  with  what  we  will.     It  came  to  me  as 
sort  of  revelation.     No  one  can  take  anything 
from   us   or   give   anything   to   us   in    so   far 
as  our  niche   in  life  goes.     We  are  all   per- 
sonalities.    No  two  of  us  are  similar,  really. 
I  sort  of  felt  that  I  had  met  myself  and  for 
the  fir.st  time.     I  took  a  look  at  myself  in  the 
glass.     I  was  still  young.     I  made  up  my  mind 
that    I    would    cut    out    ]/arties    and    fooling

Nancy  Manages 


By   LILLIAN    MAY 


IDOXT  know  wliat  it  was 
about  her.  She  is  very 
small   and    childishly 

formed.      Her  brown   hair 

waves    naturally    over    her 

ears  and   is  drawn  low   at 

the  back  of  her  head.    Her 

dark    blue    eyes    look    out 

from    long,    curled    lashes 

that    were    not    darkened. 

Her  mouth,  a  real  Cupid's 

bow    that    an    artist    might 

have  formed,  was  not  too 

red.    Her  clear  skin  with  a 

suspicion    of    small    brown 

freckles    was    guiltless    of 

powder.      She   was  quietly 

dressed    and    yet,    as    we 

walked  a  few  blocks  up 
Broadway,  thru   the  lobby 

of  the  Claridge  and  into  the 

dining-room  to  a  cozy  cor- 
ner, it  was  as  tho  every  one 
were  saying,  "Here  comes 
Xancy  Deaver !" 

How  .so  much  personality 
could  be  encountered  in 
one  small  girl  I  have  won- 
dered ever  since.  .And  it 
was  not  long  until  1  dis- 
covered, that  not  only  is 
Nancy  Deaver  a  person  of 
exceeding  charm  and  per- 
sonality, but  she  is  also 
very  business-like. 

In  the  first  place,  there 
was  the  business  of  being 

born.  Daddy  Deaver  is  a  civil  engineer  with  business  all  over  the 
the  world.  Mother  Deaver  accomi)anies  him  on  all  his  trips.  Did 
Nancy,  merely  to  be  born,  separate  the  family  or  postpone  an 
important  business  trip  to  .Australia?  Certainly  not.  Tlit  tri]i 
was  made  as  scheduled  and  en  route,  efficiently  and  promptly. 
Nancy  was  born.  Never  for  a  moment  would  she  interfere 
with  the  business  uf  civil  engineering  or  anything  else! 

"That's  why  I  am  sometimes  called  an  .Xustralian."  she  said. 
"but  I'm  not.  I  was  born  on  the  way  to  wherever  we  happened 
to  be  going,  which  happened  to  be  Australia.  But  fatlier  is 
English  and  mother  is  Scotch,  therefore  I  am  English  and 
Scotch  and  proud  of  it." 


The  little  family,  however,  remained  in  Australia  for 
some  time  and  it  was  there  at  the  age  of  ten  that  Nancy 
made  her  stage  debut  in  a  Christmas  pantomime.  She 
made  such  a  success  of  it,  too,  that  she  begged  to  con- 
tinue her  work  as  a  child  actress,  which  she  did  inter- 
mittently, thru  several  years  of  traveling  about  with  her 
parents. 

"Ever  since  I  can  remember,  1  have  loved  to  act  and 
dance,"  she  said.  "Dadd)-  didn't  want  me  to  do  it,  but 
mother  didn't  mind,  and  I  reasoned  with  Daddy,  telling 
him  that  as  long  as  he  and  mother  were  always  traveling 

that  I  might  as  well 
put  it  to  some  good 
advantage  for  myself. 


A  continual  source  of 
surprise  is  that  so  much 
personality  can  be  en- 
compassed in  the  di- 
minutive Nancy  Dea- 
ver. And  not  only  is 
she  a  person  of  exceed- 
ing charm  and  the 
above  personality,  but 
she  could  also  come  off 
with  flying  colors  in 
the  latest  and  most  dif- 
ficult of  efficiency 
tests!

Of  course,  he  said  that  I 
ought  to  be  put  in  school  in 
England  and  left  there.  But 
all  the  same  lie  was  glad 
that  mother  refused  to  have 
me  left  behind  at  a  stupid 
school.  You  see  my  father 
is  not  a  typical  Englishman 
— the  kind  who  rules  his 
family.  No  indeed.  Mother 
and  I  rule  him.  And  some-

Gossip  of  the  Eastern 
Studios 


THE    new    Long    Island    studios    of    llie    I'^amous 
Players-Lasky  Corporation  are  now  running  in 
full  force.     It's  a  big,  model  plant,  and  an  ideal 
creative  home  for  the  photoplay. 

Motion    picture    stars    are    still    coming    and    going 
abroad.     Dorothy  Gish  has  returned  with  her  mother. 
.She  i.s  going  to  rest  a   while,  making  a  trij)  to  Cali- 
fornia before  she  resumes  production.     Blanche  Sweet 
recently  sailed  for  Paris.  .  Herbert  Brenon,  fresh 
from    interesting    activities    along    the    Mediter- 
ranean  and   in    Italy,   has   been   visiting  in   New 
York.     Very  possibly  he  may  go  back  to 
make  a  few  more  pictures.    As  The  Cl.\s- 
sic  goes  to  press,  this  is  still  pending. 

Some  interesting  news  comes  from  Real- 
art  way.  They  say  that  Constance  and 
['"aire  Binney  are  to  appear  together,  playing 
the  sisters  in  the  new  novel,  "Christopher 
and  Columbus."  By  the  way;  Constance 
is  going  to  play  behind  the  footlights  again, 
alternating  with  her  screen  work.  It  will 
be  in  a  Rachel  Crothers  drama.  "Nice 
People." 

The<la  Bara  returned  from  an  inter- 
esting trip  abroad  and  is  again  on  tour 
in  her  .stage  play,  "The  Blue  Flame." 
Rumors   are   current   regarding  a 
return  to  the  screen  next  .sum- 
mer.    Be  that  as  it  may,  it  is 
an  interesting  possibility. 

Madame   Olga    Petrova 
made    a    flying    trip    to 
England    on    business 
and  returned  to  open 
a   t  w  e  n  t  y-w  e  e  k 
vaudeville  tour  of 
the  Keith  Thea- 
ters.    This  will  take  her  to  the 
middle  west. 

The    remarkable  —  and    even 
sensational  —  success   of    David 
Wark     Grififith's     super-picture, 
"VVay   Down  East,"  is  the  talk 
of    the    motion    picture    world. 
"Way    Down   East"    is    doing   an   absolute 
sell-out  business  at  the  Forty-fourth  Street 
Theater  in    New    York,   and   is   playing   to 
S.  R.  O.,  (Standing  Room  Only),  in  Boston 
and   Philadelphia.     A   Chicago  presentation 
is  about  to  be  made. 

There  is  much  talk  about  David  Wark 
Griffith's  future  plans.  The  tragic  death  of 
Bobbie  Harron,  of  course,  upset  things  a 
great  deal  and  activities  at  the  Mamaroneck 
plant  ceased  for  many  weeks.  Griffith  al- 
ways personally  supervises  the  presentation 
of  his  productions  in  the  various  cities.  Fol- 
lowing the  launching  of  the  Chicago  run,  it 
is  likely  that  he  will  again  turn  to  produc- 
tion immediately.  He  has  another  super- 
production  in  mind,  one  in  which  Dick 
Barthelmess  will  be  featured.  After  this, 
Dick  is  to  be  starred. 

Charlie  Chaplin  lias  been  seeing  New 
York  very  much  incng.  He  dodges  in-

at  the  theater  and  at  evening  roof  enter-

TRA  time  at  the  Alexandria!  The  statuesque  blonde  wearing  the  beautiful 
tailored  suit  and  the  trim  sailor  hat  is  Kathlyn  Williams — with  her  hus- 
band. The  demure,  slender  liltlc  girl  in  the  dark  blue  serge  and  close 
lifting  hat  is  Colleen  Moore  who  has  just  signed  a  fine  new  contract  with 
Marshall  Neilan.  'IMie  good  looking  hoy  with  her  is  her  brother,  Cleeve.

One  of  the  beautiful  brunettes  in  Los  Angeles  is  Florence  Vidor.   I  met  her 
out  at  the  Ince  studio  the  odier  day  where  she  was  completing  her  final  scenes 
in  "The  Magic  Life."     House  Peters  was  playing  opposite  her.     The  quality 
of  Florence  Vidor's  beauty  is  the  sort  you  read  about  and  dream  about.    There 
s  a  perfection  of  feature,  poise  and  carriage  which  leaves  one  fairly  breath- 
less.   She  was  wearing  an  evening  gown  of  yellow  and  lavender  draped 
chiflfon.     Her  luxuriant  chestnut  hair  was  bound  closely  to  her  shapely 
head.    Her  complexion  is  so  finely  luminous  that  it  is  scarcely  necessary 
for  her  to  use  any  make-up.    About  her  there  is  a  spiritual  aura,  a  peace, 
a  completeness.     She  is  a  wonderful  woman,  wife,  mother,  and  artiste. 
William  deMille  has  begun  work  on  Barrie's  play  "What  Every 
Woman  Knows."     Lois  Wilson  has  been  given  Maude  .\dams'

Nagels  are  a  model,  happy,  young  married  couple,  who  are  now 
making  their  home  in  Hollywood. 

Another  admirably  mated  pair  are  Mr.  and  Mrs.  John  Bowers, 
who  recently  spent  a  wonderful  five  weeks'  vaca- 
tion on  their  yacht,  the  Uncas. 

Metro  has  signed  up  a  stock  company  of  un- 
^Ki^^^  usual  strength  this  season.     Included  are  Wynd-

the  Soul"  was  a  screen  epic,  Edward  Connelly. 
Edward  Jobson,  Florence  Turner,  Cleo  Madi- 
son, Edward  Cecil  and  Lawrence  Grant.  Having 
these  players  always  available,  means  that  Metro 
stars  will  be  supported  by  practically  all-star 
casts. 

We  were  all  just  thrilled  over  the  addition  of

How  to  banish  the  needless  flaws  that 

ruin  your  appearance 

//  is  so  easy  to  let  your  skin  acquire  bad  traits 


WIND  and  cold,  yuu  know,  are 
ruinous  to  the  texture  of  your 
skin.  They  whip  the  moisture 
out  of  it — leave  it  dry  and  tense.  Then 
follow  roughening  and  chapping. 

Skin  specialists  say  that  one  can  pro- 
tect the  skin  by  applying  a  softening  and 
soothing  cream  always  before  venturing 
out.  Never  omit  this.  One  little  slip, 
and  your  skin  has  had  its  first  dangerous 
lesson'  on  how  to  grow  rough  I 

Of  course  you  need  for  this  protection 
a  cream  which  will  not  make  your  face

look  oily  before  going  out.  Pond's 
Vanishing  Cream  is  made  without 
any  oil  precisely  for  this  daytime 
and  evening  use.  It  cannot  reap- 
pear 'in  a  shine.  Lightly  touch 
your  face  with  Pond's  Vanishing 
Cream.  This  leaves  your  face 
smooth  and  protects  it  from  the 
weather.     Do    this   every    time   you

go  out  and  your  skin  will  not  chap  all 
winter  long.  Regardless  of  the  weather 
it  will  become  more  and  more  e.xquisite 
in  te.\ture. 

Does  the  powder  keep  coming  off  your 
face,  leaving  you  all  shiny  and  embar- 
rassed ? 

Per]i.ips  you  are  expecting  too  much 
of  it.  Really,  it  is  entirely  your  own 
fault  if  you  put  the  powder  directly  on 
the  skin  and  expect  it  to  stay  on  of  its 
own  accord.  The  finest  of  powders 
needs  a  base  to  hold  it,  and  to  keep  it 
smooth. 

For  this  use,  as  for  protection  from  the 
weather,  yo\i  need  a  cream  without  oil. 
Before  you  powder,  take  a  bit  of  Pond's 
Vanishing  Cream  and  rub  it  lightly  into 
the  skin.  At  once  it  disappears,  leaving 
your  skin  softened.  Now  powder  as 
usual  and  don't  think  of  it  again.  The 
powder  will  stay  on  two  or  three  times 
as  long  as  ever  before. 

When  your  face  is  tense  from  a  long, 
hard  day,  yet  you  want  to  "look  beauti- 
ful," remember  that  the  cool,  fragrant 
touch  of  Pond's  Vanishing  Cream 
smoothed  over  the  face  and  neck  will  in- 
stantly bring  it  new  freshness.  Do  this 
bt;t')re  you  go  to  a  dance.  All  the  tell- 
tale  weariness   -n  round    eves    and    mouth

will  vanish.  Your  skin  will  gain  a  new 
transparency.  You  need  never  let  it  get 
into  the  way  of  staying  tired. 

Beware  of  allowing  your-  skin  to  cloud  up 
and  lose  its  clearness.  When  this  happens,  il 
is  because  minute  particles  of  dust  have 
worked  their  way  too  deep  into  the  pores  to 
be  removed  by  ordinary  bathing.  Really,  it 
means  that  you  have  been  allowing  your  skin 
to  go  only  half  cleansed !  To  remove  this 
deeply  lodged  dust  you  need  an  entirely  dif- 
ferent cream,  a  cream  ivit/i  an  oil  base.  Pond's 
Cold  Cream  has  just  the  amount  of  oil  to 
work  deep  into  the  pores  and  cleanse  them. 

Before    you    go    to    bed    and    whenever  you 

have     been     especially     e.xposed     to     dust,  rub 

Pond's  Cold   Cream  into  the  pores  of  the  skin. 

Then  wipe  it  off  with  a  soft  cloth.  You  will 
say,  "How  could  so  much  dust  have  gotten  into 

my  pores!"  Do  this  regularly  and  you  will 
be  rewarded  by  a  clear,  fresh  skin. 

Every  normal  skin  needs  both  these  creams. 
Neither  will   foster  the  growth  of  hair. 

Get  a  jar  or  tube  of  each  today  at  any  drug 
or  departmetit  store.  You  will  realize  for  the 
rirst   time   how   lovely  your   skin   can   be.

shrewd  eyes.  "Mm !"  he  saitl  at  last  dry- 
ly, "she  must  ha'  found  it  quick,  because 
she's  down  at  my  house  this  minute,  cry- 
ing as  tho  her  heart  'ud  break.  I  couldn't 
make  out  what  was  wrong,  so  I  cunie  miT 
to  find  out.  Went  away,  oh  ?  With  Bill 
Lacey  ?  Well.  I  puess  she  changed  her 
mind." 

Caleb  West  caught  the  table  edge.  "She 
— didn't  go?" 

"Didn't  'pear  to."  the  Captain  said,  dry  • 
Iv,  then  his  tone  changed,  grew  pleading. 
"Caleb,  she's  young.  We  older  folks  for- 
get what  the  world  looks  like  to  twenty. 
We'd  ought  to  make  'lowances.  Shall  I 
go  back  and  send  Betty  home?" 

The  master-diver  stood  immovable. 
His  face  was  like  granite.  "It's  too  late. 
Bell."  he  said  slowly.  "It  'ud  happen 
again.  I  couldn't  stand  it.  watching"  her. 
wonderin'.  I'll  give  her  half  I  make  but 
— she  cant  come  back." 

.\rgument.  pleading  availed  no  more 
than  a  wave  washing  against  a  rock. 
"There  ain't  nothing."  mused  the  good 
Captain  as  he  plodded  heavily  homeward, 
"there  ain't  nothing  unforgivinger  than 
a  good  man.  nor  stupider  either.  Caleb 
West  is  all  right  when  it  comes  to  laying 
the  foundation  for  a  lighthouse  but  he 
cant  keep  his  own  home  from  drifting  to 
shipwreck." 

White-faced  but  singularly  calm,  the 
girl  received  Caleb's  edict.  "He's  right  I" 
she  flashed  when  the  Captain  showed  in- 
dignation. "I  haven't  got  the  right  to  go 
back."  She  faced  the  old  man  bravely, 
"you  know  what  folks'll  say.  But  it  wont 
be  true.  Bill  Lacey  never  so  much  as 
kissed  me.  Soon  as  I  got  on  that  boat  I 
knew  I  couldn't  go.  But  I  was  wicked  all 
the  same.  I  listened  to  him  and  I — 
wanted  what  he  said— Life!  and  things 
happening — and  things  to  see !  And  I  de- 
sen'e  to  be  punished." 

The  tiny  fishing  village  rocked  sea- 
sickly  with  the  news.  Housewives  left 
their  dishes  unwashed  to  discuss  it  over 
their  fences,  the  men  on  the  fishing  boats 
rolled  it  like  a  flavorsome  morsel  on  their 
tongues.  But  there  was  a  singular  scar- 
city of  details.  None  of  the  three  in- 
volved would  speak  of  what  had  hap- 
pened. Bill  Lacey,  sullen-eyed,  with  bit- 
ten red  lips  left  the  lighthouse  gang  and 
went  to  work  as  a  fireman  on  a  freighter, 
plying  between  the  island  and  the  main- 
land. Betty  West  got  a  place  as  a  wait- 
ress in  the  hotel,  and  Caleb  strode  to  and 
from  the  ledge  where  the  lighthouse  was 
rising,  with  a  heavy  look  that  forbade 
questioning. 

But  the  gossips  eked  out  their  fare  with 
another  spicy  morsel.  For  a  long  time 
the  admiration  of  Henry  Sanford,  the 
contractor  who  was  building  the  light,  for 
pretty  Kate  Leroy,  the  wife  of  the  hotel 
owner,  hail  been  uimiistakable — to  the 
whole  village,  except  apparently,  to  slow, 
silent,  plodding  Morgan  Leroy.  The  hand- 
some shoulders  and  dapper  mustache  of 
the  city  man  were  almost  never  seen 
without   an   orange    sweater,    a   floating

chitTon  veil  close  by,  and  while  Sanford 
paid  assiduous  court  and  Kate  Leroy 's 
gay.  pleased  laughter  shrilled  her  flat- 
tered delight  to  all  the  world.  Morgan 
Leroy,  in  shapeless  old  trousers  and 
wrinkled  necktie  sat  hunched  over  his 
pai)er  in  the  hotel  office. 

In  her  leisure  hours  Hetty  slipped  away 
to  the  cliff,  and  sat.  a  smaM.  huddled 
figure  hidden  among  the  bushes,  looking 
out  over  the  restless  harbor  to  where  the 
far  figures  of  the  divers  moved  on  their 
platform.  The  ocean  no  longer  called  to 
her  imagination.  Its  eternal  plaint 
moaned  in  the  homesick  ears  of  her  soul. 
and  slow,  silent  tears  gathered  in  her  eyes 
and  dripped  off  the  point  of  her  chin. 
To  Bill  Lacey,  when  he  tried  to  reason 
with  her,  to  plead  angrily,  passionately 
she  answered  only  "No.  That's  all  over 
with — please." 

"But  you  cant  live  here  all  your  life 
like  this."  the  boy  stormed,  haggard  eyes 
on  her  colorless  little  face,  "people  whis- 
perin',  working  like  a  hor.se !  Ask  Caleb 
for  a  divorce  and  marry  me.  We'll  go 
away — to  Europe,  we'll  see  the  world — " 

sine  smiled  sadly,  as  tho  she  were  in- 
finitely older  and  wiser  than  he.  "I 
couldn't  be  any  farther  away  in  Europe 
than  I  am  here,"  she  said,  and  fell  to 
brooding,  not  noticing  when  he  stumbled 
blindly  away. 

People  said  afterward  that  the  explo- 
sion aboard  the  Bessie  Marie,  freighter, 
was  a  judgment,  rolling  the  good  old 
Methodist  word  solemnly  on  their 
tongues.  They  proved  at  the  inquiry 
that  it  was  a  leaky  valve.  Whichever 
you  prefer,  it  was  at  least  a  turning  point 
in  si.x  people's  lives.  Almost  before  the 
vibration  of  the  explosion  had  died  away 
a  crowd  had  collected  on  the  shore  and 
the  tug  with  the  divers,  still  in  their  suits 
had  started  for  the  wreck.  Captain  Bell 
was  casting  off  his  dory  when  he  felt  his 
arm  seized,  and  looked  down  into  the  face 
of  Betty  West.  "I've  got  to  go  I"  she 
told  him  wildly,  "I've  got  to  go!" 

And  so  Caleb  West  and  his  wife  came 
face  to  face  at  last  on  the  tilting  deck  of 
the  tug  beside  the  mass  of  wreckage  which 
alone  showed  where  the  Bessie  Marie 
had  gone  down.  Her  hands  went  to  her 
breast,  but  she  did  not  speak,  only  looked 
up  niio  his  face,  set  into  hard  and  alien 
lines.  "All  o'  the  crews  safe — but  one 
man."  he  said  harshly,  "he's  in  the  air 
lock.  If  1  dont  get  him  in  ten  mimites, 
handsome  Bill  Lacey'll  never  break  up 
another  man's  home." 

There  was  such  terrible  bitterness  and 
exultation  in  his  tone,  and  his  kindly  eyes 
held  such  an  unholy  light  of  triumph 
that  she  cried  out  then  and  clutched  at 
his  arm.  "Caleb!  You're  going?  You 
must !  ( )h — you  must !"  She  was  think- 
ing only  of  him.  and  of  the  Cain-rejjroach 
he  would  carry  always  thereafter  if  he 
did  not  go,  but  he  read  in  her  agony 
another  meaning.  Without  a  word  he 
turned  on  his  heel  and  set  the  helmet  over 
his  head. 


It  seemed  to  Betty  West  that  all  her 
lifetime  up  to  that  moment  was  not  so 
long  as  the  ten  minutes  that  followed, 
when  she  stood  by  the  bow.  staring  down 
into  the  green  deeps  as  tho  by  the  force 
of  her  will  she  could  draw  hiin  up  to  her. 
When  the  ugly,  squat  figure  appeared, 
silently  carrying  something  limp  in  its 
arms  and  clambered  clumsily  aboard,  she 
heard  the  sound  of  hysterical  weeping 
somewhere  at  a  great  distance  but  did  not 
know  that  it  came  from  her  own  lips. 

They  laid  Bill  Lacey  on  the  deck,  a 
long  young  sprawl,  terribly  still.  And 
while  she  watched  them  work  over  him, 
Caleb  West  clambered  out  of  his  diving 
suit,  staggering  with  weariness.  It  had 
been  a  gruelling  fight  under  the  crushing 
green  waters,  a  fight  more  than  physical. 
Dut  he"  carne  out  of  it  a  conqueror.  Hu 
went  to  his  wife  now.  and  the  hardness 
was  gone  from  him.  "I  saved  him  partly 
because  'twas  my  duty,  Betty,  but  mostly 
because  you  wanted  him.''  He  smiled 
crookedly.  "I  been  wrong.  I  was  too  old 
for  you — I  didn't  have  the  right  to  your 
youngness,  Blossom."  (the  old  pet  name 
slipped  out  unaware),  "but  I'll  give  you 
back  what  I  took,  best  I  can.  I'll  set  you 
free — " 

The  nearness  of  her — ah  God !  the 
dearness !  He  shut  his  eyes  lest  he  forget 
his  promise  and  take  her  straightway,  be- 
cause he  could  do  no  other,  into  his  weary 
arms.  Because  they  were  shut  he  could 
not  see  the  quivering  shame  and  tender- 
ness in  her  upturned  face,  but  suddenly — 
thru  the .  darkness,  spiritual  and  bodily 
that  engulfed  him.  he  heard  a  whisper; — 
"Caleb,  please — dont — set  me  free.  1 
want — I  want  to  stay — " 

And,  as  in  the  beginning,  the  voice 
cried  to  the  swirling  chaos,  "Let  there  be 
Light,"  and  there  was  light.  Now  Caleb 
West  opened  his  eyes  on  a  glory  of  sun- 
set crimson  and  a  face  in  it,  lifted  to  his. 
It  was  not  the  placid  kiss  of  middle-age 
but  the  kiss  of  a  young,  ardent  lover  that 
he  gave  his  wife  then — 

.'\nd  the  same  night  that  robbed  the 
village  of  one  scandal  took  away  the  other 
also,  on  the  train  that  carried  Henry  San- 
ford to  the  city — alone.  Captain  Bell, 
who  rowed  two  passengers  from  the 
F'oint  to  catch  the  train,  might  have  been 
able  to  explain  why  he  brought  one  back 
with  him.  weeping  with  a  melancholy  sat- 
isfaction over  her  shattered  romance  and 
tremulously  grateful  for  its  shattering. 
Rowing  homeward,  after  he  had  left 
Kate  Leroy,  whimpering  her  gratitude  at 
the  hotel,  Captain  Bell  regarded  the  lights 
twinkling  friendliwise  along  the  shore 
contentedly,  his  face  gently  humorous. 

"Ain't  it  nice  to  think  all  o'  them  lights 
mean  a  home,"  he  ruminated  aloud,  rest- 
ing a  moment  on. his  oars,  "That's  the 
way  the  Lord  meant  it  to  be.  1  reckon, 
men  and  women  set  in  homes.  An  old 
bachelor  like  me  has  missed  his  job  at 
home-making.  Still,"  and  he  chuckled 
softly,  "I  do'  know  but  what  the  Lord 
needs  a  few  lighthouses,  too!"

The  Winners  Are  Announced 


she  is  very  pretty  to  look  upon,  with  an 
unusual  complexion. 

Among  the  early  contestants  were  two 
children  of  unusual  beauty  and  screen 
personality, — Little  Ruth  Higgins  of  20 
Liberty  Street,  Morristown,  \.  J.,  and 
Dorothy  Taylor  of  1322  Findley  Avenue, 
X.  Y.  City.  Both  of  them  ])lay  important 
parts  in  "Love's  Redemption."  and  we 
know  of  no  other  children  on  the  stage 
or  screen  who  could  have  played  and 
looked  better.  They  are  each  awarded 
silver  medals  and  will  be  known  here- 
after as  Silver-Medalists  of  the  1920  Fame 
and -Fortune  Contest. 

.And  while  we  are  speaking  of  "Love's 
Redemption."  be  it  remembered  that  every 
member  of  that  cast  was  carefully  selected 
from  among  thousands  of  applicants  and. 
therefore,  each  one  is  hereby  given  the 
award  of  Honorable  Mention,  and  a  place 
on  our  final  Honor  Roll.  They  arc  Dorian 
Romero,  Lynne  ^L  Berry,  Katherine  Bas- 
sett,  William  R.  Talmadge.  .\rthur  Tut- 
bill,  Cecile  Edwards,  William  Castro, 
Ellsworth  Jones,  Scymoure  Panish.  Jos. 
Murtaugh.  Effie  Palmer,  Bunty  Manly, 
.Mfred  L.  Rigali.  Edward  Chalmers. 
Charles  Hammer,  William  White.  Xor- 
bert  Hammer.  Carl  Chalmers,  Doris 
Doree.  Mrs.  F.  Mayer.  O.  L.  Langhanke 
and  Jose  Santo  DeSigue.  Some  of  these 
are  "types"  and  are  not  honored  for 
beauty.  Mr.  Romero  deserves  special 
mention  for  his  work  in  this  ])lay. 

During  the  warm  months  hundreds  of 
girls  appeared  before  the  judges,  and 
some  were  so  beautiful  that  it  seemed 
they  would  outshine  those  previously 
mentioned  in  this  article,  .\mong  these 
was  Betty  Poniroy  Hanson  of  Rugby. 
.\orth  Dakota,  who  seemed  to  be  the 
exact  "double"'  of  Lucille  Langhanke. 
Several  tests  were  made  of  her  and  it 
was  found  she  screened  remarkably  well 
and  had  all  of  the  elements  that  a  screen 
star  should  have.  In  the  same  group 
appear  Mary  Jane  Sanderson  of  Johns- 
town. Pa.,  and  so  promising  was  her  first 
test  that  we  at  once  telegraphed  her  to 
return  for  another.  She  is  not  quite 
fifteen. 

There  were  two  more  in  this  group, 
deserving  of  special  mention,  for  they 
screen  exceptionally  well.  They  are 
Yvonne  Bailey  of  15  McDonald  Street. 
Brooklyn,  X.  Y.,  and  Bertha  Keating  of 
Springfield,  Mass.  They  are  each  about 
thirteen  years  of  age  and  a  trifle  too  young 
to  win  first  honors  in  this  contest,  but 
look  out  for  them  in  the  next ! 

Early  in  September  there  came  two 
girls  of  remarkable  beauty  and  presence, 
each  measuring  about  five  feet  seven  in 
height.  They  are  Elma  McKinney  of  114 
West  58th  Street.  X.  'S'.  City,  anil  Eileen 
Elliott  of  707  Ritner  Street.  Philadelphia. 
Pa.  They  both  screen  very  well,  indeed. 
>nd  while  their  spheres  will  be  limited  on 
.ircount  of  their  unusual  size  and  height, 
t'le  cinema  will  find  a  place  for  them. 

.Xhnut   this   time   came   two   charming 


[Continued  front  piuir  47) 

little  bnmettes.  who  were  long  considered 
for  first  honors.  They  are  Katherine 
Leonard  of  160  West  84th  Street.  X.  Y. 
Citv  and  Bve  Madden  of  1667  Grove 
Street.  N.  Y.  City. 

Those  who  saw  "A  Dream  of  Fair 
Women"  will  remember  the  cute  little  miss 
who  i)layed  the  part  of  the  "tough  girl." 
She  was  then  only  fourteen  years  old. 
She  came  down  to  Roslyn  one  day  in 
July  for  a  new  test,  and  everybody  was 
amazed  at  her  a|ipearance.  She  screened 
beautifully  and  we  did  our  best  to  get 
her  back  again  for  additional  tests,  but 
she  was  away  on  the  road  playing  in 
vaudeville.  She  is  Evelyn  Pouch,  but  we 
are  unable  to  give  her  address. 

Late  in  .-Xugust  several  of  tlie  judges 
met  and  again  went  thru  huge  piles  of 
photographs  in  search  of  some  "rose  born 
to  blush  unseen  and  waste  its  fragrance 
on  the  desert  air."  fearing  that  somebody 
of  unusual  promise  had  been  overlooked. 
Several  thousand  photographs  were  thus 
selected  and  ^ent  to  the  studio  of  the 
editor-in-chief.  .Many  hours  every  day 
were  spent  in  .going  over  these  photo- 
graphs in  the  hope  of  revealing  a  rose  or 
a  bud  that  had  been  previously  over- 
looked. About  a  hundred  were  selected 
and  the  wires  were  burned  up  in  sending 
hurry  messages  for  these  girls  to  appear 
at  once  before  the  judges.  Telegrams. 
form  letters  and  jihone  messages  were 
sent  out  in  great  haste,  and  soon  they  be- 
gan to  bear  fruit.  Among  these  photo- 
graphs was  a  small,  poorly  made,  and  in- 
artistic one  sent  in  by  a  friend  of  a  young 
lady  in  Canada,  unknown  to  her.  The 
young  miss  was  surprised  to  receive  our 
summons,  but.  when  she  learned  what 
had  happened,  on  she  came  from  Canada, 
and  now  she  finds  herself  on  the  final 
Honor  Roll,  well  up  among  the  winners. 
She  is  Jean  .Mclntyre  of  Meaford, 
Canada. 

.'\nother  similar  case,  and  even  more 
astonishing,  is  that  of  Corliss  Palmer  of 
Macon,  Georgia,  who  will  now  be  amazed 
to  find  herself  a  winner.  Her  simple 
photograph  had  been  passed  over  and  she 
came  within  an  ace  of  being  lost  in  the 
shuftle. 

.-Xnother  similar  case  is  that  of  .'Mlene 
Ray.  a  charming  little  blonde  from  San 
.•\ntonio.  Texas,  who  came,  saw  and  con- 
quered at  the  last  minute.  Both  of  these 
young  ladies  are  dazzling  beauties  of  rare 
charm  and  photographic  possibilities,  and. 
as  Emerson  said  to  Walt  Whitman  on 
receipt  of  a  copy  of  "Leaves  of  Grass," 
— "\Ve  welcome  you  on  the  threshold  of 
a  great  career."  Many  screen  tests  have 
been  made  of  them  and  the  judges  are 
convinced  that,  everything  considered,  the 
contest  has  produced  nobody  quite  so 
faultless  as  these  two  Southern  beauties. 

Space  forbids  our  making  further  men- 
tion of  the  many  glorious  girls  who  ap- 
peared in  this  contest.  There  is  a  limit 
to  all  things,  even  to  the  final  Honor  Roll. 
It   is  quite   possible   that   we  have  over- 


looked some  who  have  screen  possibili- 
ties. We  now  wish  that  we  had  secured 
half  a  dozen  cameras  and  camera-men 
instead  of  two  and  given  every  girl  ad- 
ditional tests  under  different  conditions. 
Therefore,  we  say  to  all  those  who.se 
names  do  not  appear  here  that  they 
should  not  be  discouraged,  and  not  give 
up  hope  for  the  future.  May  they  have 
better  luck  in  our  next  contest. 

All  of  those  mentioned  above  are  de- 
clared by  the  judges  to  be  the  real  dis- 
coveries of  the  1920  Fame  and  Fortune 
Contest.  However,  we  have  agreed  t(j 
make  stars  of  the  winners,  to  give  them 
two  years'  publicity  in  all  four  of  our 
publications,  and  to  secure  for  them  con- 
tracts with  reliable  companies.  We  have 
already  secured  two  cotitracts.  as  above 
mentioned,  and  we  shall  do  what  w^e  can  to 
secure  others  as  fast  as  opportunity  comes. 
We  surel)^  cannot  be  expected  to  declare 
as  wiiniers  all  of  the  foregoing,  for  vari- 
ous reasons.  Some  of  these  girls  are  not 
yet  ready  to  start  on  a  screen  career  and 
.some  are  mere  children ;  and  as  for  pub- 
licity, there  would  not  be  room  for  niucii 
else  in  our  magazines  were  we  to  grant 
two  years'  publicity  to  all. 

.As  for  Lucille  Langhanke.  she  is  al- 
leady  a* -star,  and  is  entitled  to  all  -that  a 
winner  is  entitled  to.  The  same  is  true 
of  Helen  DeWitt. 

But  since  the  judges  are  to  select  one 
or  more  who  are  to  be  declared  winners, 
and  who  are  entitled  to  the  full  quota  of 
our  promises,  it  is  foimd  necessary  to  re- 
duce the  number  of  declared  winners  to 
two.  Should  more  than  two  winners  be 
announced,  we  could  not  fulfil  our  prom- 
ises. In  one  sense  of  the  word,  all  those 
above  mentioned  are  winners,  because  they 
have  all  won  honors.  Lucille  Langhanke, 
who  will  hereafter  be  known  as  Mary 
.■\stor,  has  already  been  made  a  star,  or 
will  be  made  one  by  the  Famous  Players- 
Lasky  Company,  regardless  of  what  we 
do  for  her.  They  have  already  started 
their  campaign  of  publicity.  However, 
we  insist  u[)on  selecting  and  making  at 
least  two  more  stars  and,  therefore,  we 
take  pleasure  in  announcing  the  final  de- 
cision of  the  judges  as  follows : 

The  uinncrs  of  the  1920  Fame  and 
forlunc  Contest  are  herebv  declared  to 
he: 

Corliss  Palmer,  614  Mount  Pelier 
Avenue.  Macon,  Georgia  ;  and  Allene 
Rav.  2248  River  Avenue,  San  Antonto, 
Te.nas. 

To  these  two  young  ladies  we  extend 
our  hearty  congratulations  for  having  won 
the  greatest  contest  that  has  ever  been 
staged.  We  are  confident  that  the  future 
will  prove  the  wisdom  of  this  choice.  In 
the  years  to  come,  these  two  young  ladies 
and  five  million  readers  will  look  back 
upon  this  announcement  as  an  epoch- 
making  one.  and  the  editors  of  the  Brew- 
ster Publications,  as  well  as  the  judges 
of  this  contest,  will  always  feel  gratified 
and  elated  over  the  wisdom  of  their  choice.

Whiter  Teeth 

In  10  days,  if  you'll  ask  us  for  this  tube 


This  simple  test  has  shown  to  mil- 
lions the  way  to  whiter,  safer  teeth. 
It  is  a  free  test — you  should  make  it. 
It  may  bring  life-long  effects. 

No  other  method  known  can  do  what 
Pepsodent  does  for  teeth. 

To  end  the  film 

The  object  is  to  fight  the  film,  which 
dims  the  teeth  and  causes  most  tooth 
troubles.  Dental  science  has  worked 
years  to  do  that. 

Film  is  that  viscous  coat  you  feel. 
It  clings  to  teeth,  enters  crevices  and 
stays.  The  ordinary  tooth  paste  does 
little  to  combat  it,  so  the  tooth  brush 
leaves  much  of  it  intact. 

It  is  the  film-coat  that  discolors,  not 
the  teeth.  Film  is  the  basis  of  tartar. 
It  holds  food  substance  which  fer- 
ments and  forms  acid.  It  holds  the 
acid  in  contact  with  the  teeth  to  cause 
decay. 


Millions  of  germs  breed  in  it.  They, 
with  tartar,  are  the  chief  cause  of 
pyorrhea.  Thus  all  these  troubles,  de- 
spite the  tooth  brush,  have  been  con- 
stantly increasing. 

Now  we  combat  it 

Dental  science,  after  years  of  re- 
search, has  found  ways  to  combat 
film.  High  authorities  have  proved 
their  efficiency  by  clinical  and  labora- 
tory tests. 

The  best  dental  opinion  approves 
these  methods.  Leading  dentists  every- 
where are  urging  their  adoption.  Now 
millions  daily  use  them,  largely  by 
dental  advice. 

The  methods  are  combined  in  a  den- 
tifrice called  Pepsodent.  And  a  10- 
Day  Tube  is  being  sent,  so  al)  who  will 
may  quickly  know  how  much  it  means 
to  them. 


The  new  effects 

One  ingredient  of  Pepsodent  is  pep- 
sin. Another  multiplies  the  starch 
digestant  in  the  saliva  to  digest  starch 
deposits  which  cling  and  form  acid. 

It  also  multiplies  the  alkalinity  of 
the  saliva,  to  neutralize  the  acids  which 
cause  tooth  decay.  Two  factors  di- 
rectly attack  the  film.  One  of  them 
keeps  the  teeth  so  highly  polished  that 
film  cannot  easily  adhere. 

Pepsodent  combines  the  best  that 
modern  science  has  discovered  to  com- 
bat the  tooth  destroyers.  And  to  mil- 
lions it  is  bringing  a  new  era  in  teeth 
cleaning. 

Watch  it  act 

This  is  to  offer  a  ten-day  tube. 
Send  the  coupon  for  it.  Note  how 
clean  the  teeth  feel  after  using.  Mark 
the  absence  of  the  viscous  film.  See 
how  teeth  whiten  as  the  film-coat  dis- 
appears. 

The  new  tooth  luster  will  show  you 
its  effects.  The  book  we  send  will  tell 
you  what  they  mean.  Then  you  can 
judge  for  yourself. 


Men  who  smoke 

Smokers'  teeth  often  show  film-stains 
most.  Children's  teeth  are  most  af- 
fected by  the  film.  Young  teeth  are 
most  subject  to  attacks.  With  older 
people  the  chief  danger  lies  in  pyor- 
rhea. 

So  to  all  this  test  is  most  important. 
For  your  own  sake  don't  forget  it. 
Cut  out  the  coupon  now.

MOTION    PICTURE   CLASSIC 

Admissions 

(CotitiiiHc'd  from  pacje  38) 

He  prefers  the  heavier,  more  dramatic 
roles.  Better  fitted  to  them,  more  in  his 
element.  He  does  not,  he  informed  me, 
go  upon  the  general  theory  of  the  good 
in  ver.satilily.  .To  be  able  ...  all  right 
.  .  .  but  in  practice  .  .  .  no;  We  have, 
he  adduced,  a  limited  time  to  progress  in. 
It  is  too  much  to  e.xpect  that  we  can 
progress  along  all  lines  and  reach  any 
number  of  definite  and  worth-while  goals. 
There  is  such  a  thing  as  overstepping  one's 
mark  and  one's  capabilities.  St'rained 
efforts  qre  palpably  so.  A  wise  man 
knows  and  remains  within,  his  own  limits, 

"Still,"  I  said,  "you  are  going  to  appear 
in  a  stage  jilay  as  well  as  in  pictures  this 
winter,  isn't  that  so?" 

He  admitted  it  .  .  .  no.  them. 

"I  hope  to,"  he  .said,  "for  a  year  or  so 
anyway.  It  will  give  me  a  better  working 
value,  to  myself  and  to  those  employing 
me. 

"It  is  also  a  matter  of  money.  Working 
at  both  increases  my  market  value.  I 
think  we  are  all  interested  in  the  nioney 
end  of  it.     I  am.     I  admit  that,  too." 

"Do  you  think,"  I  pressed,  "that  the 
money  end  is  of  more  import  to  the 
majority  than  the  so-called  Art  end?" 

Mr.  Harlan  considered,  blowing,  the 
while,  perfectly  remarkable  fantasies  of 
smoke  against  the  ceiling. 

"I  think,"  he  said,  "that  to  the  wise 
and  practicable  individual  the  money  end 
is  the  means  to  the  Art  end  and,  there- 
fore, greatly  and  certainly  primarily  to  be 
considered. 

"Money  is  the  great  liberator.  We  can 
do  so  much  more  with  it  than  we  can 
without  it,  which  would  be  trite  if  I  did 
not  mean  in  anything  but  a  material  sense. 
We  can  be  artists  so  much  more  youngly 
and  easily  because  we  have  the  where- 
withal to  lessen  the  brunt  of  other  drains 
and  'pressures." 

"What."  I  said,  "is  the  most  worth- 
while thing  to  you?" 

".Ambition,"  he  said,  sans  hesitation. 
".Ambition  and  California.  Sunshine  and 
the  will-to-get-on.  Without  ambition  we 
are  dull,  flat  and  quite  stale.  An  in- 
teresting person  is  almost  sure  to  be  an 
ambitious  person,  in  one  sense  or  another. 
You  can  be  sure  that  it  is  the  missing 
ingredient  in  a  savorless  person." 

"And  work?" 

"Work  is  the  walls  of  the  house,  of 
which  ambition  is  the  foun(^''»ion,"  Mr. 
Harlan  said,  adding,  rather  vaguely,  "but 
I  am  getting  in  beyond  my  depth.  .Any- 
way, I  mean  that  ambition  is,  of  all  char- 
acteristics, the  fundamental  prompter." 

.Afar  off  someone  hailed  him.  Con- 
stance, duly  inquired  of,  no  doubt,  had 
gone  back  to  the  set.  Mr,  Harlan  arose 
with  some  alacrity,  not  to  say  relief. 

"Speaking  of  work,"  he  said,  "this  is

As  a  Lamp  to  be  Tended 

{Continued  from  page  21 ) 

dont  believe  in  self -depreciation.  It  is  an 
inverted  form  of  egotism,  and  quite  as 
Iiannfnl  as  its  antithesis.  We  caimot  liel]> 
what  we  are.  We  really  have  no  reason 
to  laud  or  to  cavil  at  what  we  are.  W'e 
arc.  and   it  is  outside  our  volition. 

"It  is  what  we  do  with  what  we  are 
that  matters ;  that  can  give  us  the  rijjlit 
to  [>ride  or  shame.  If  we  are  born  with 
a  gift  of  writing,  of  acting,  of  painting 
or  playing,  it  is  so.  What  matters  is  the 
way  in  which  we  treat  the  gift,  once  it 
is  ours.  Whether  we  maltreat  or  exalt 
it,  humble  it  or  glorify  it. 

"I  always  feel  that  a  person  bearing 
within  him  an  art  should  consider  that 
art  as  a  flame  to  be  tended ;  to  be  kept 
clean — and  bright. 

"I  believe  that  one  should  conserve 
one's  self  for  this  flame  ;  guard  one's  self  : 
watch  over  it.  Sometimes  the  simile 
of  a  lamp  comes  to  me,  a  lamp  to  be 
tended  and  trimmed,  dimmed,  perhaps,  or 
raised. 

"One  should  be  able  to  consider  it,  this 
art,  subjectively,  abstractly,  a  thing  not 
, entirely  one's  own.  to  be  rendered  an  ac- 
counting for  to  the  public  .  .  ." 

Miss  Kennedy  gave  her  whimsical  de- 
precatory smile ;  patted  her  husband's 
hand,  near  her  own,  said,  "I  hope  you 
do  not  think  I  am  trying  to  be  theoretical, 
unduly,"  and  was  gone  from  me  in  quest 
of  the  Hollander  hat. 

"Come  and  see  me  in  my  play,"  she 
called  back  to  me,  and  I  said: 

"I  will — good  luck!" 


The  Diminutive  Dorothy  Devore

ambitions  was  to  be  a  millionaire  and  have 
five  babies  by  the  time  she  was  twenty- 
five. 

And  there  is  still  time  for  even  this 
dream  to  come  true. 

Dorothy  Devore  is  as  unlike  an  actress 
as  anyone  I  have  ever  met.  She  is  a  tiny 
little,  girl,  another  member  of  the  five- 
feet-small  brigade.  She  has  enormous 
large  brown  eyes  with  an  innocent  stare. 
Her  hair  is  naturally  a  reddish-brown, 
and  off  the  screen  she  doesn't  curl  it, 
neither  does  she  use  make-up,  and  she 
is  one  of  the  few  girls  I  know  who  has 
no  interest  in  a  lipstick.  She  wears — 
in  real  life,  you  understand — simple  little 
frocks  of  gingham  or  of  organdie  as  the 
occasion  may  warrant.  She  is  all  in  all 
the  typical  American  ingenue.  Her  very 
manner,  bearing  and  clothes,  bespeak  the 
clean-minded,  very  young,  well-brought- 
up  daughter  of  an  .•\merican  mother. 

.A  cabaret  dancer,  a  vaudeville  artiste, 
and  a  motion  picture  actress! 

I  give  you  my  word,  as  well  as  the  old 
lady's 

You'd  never  know  it  from  meeting  her.

$50  Raise!" 


WHY,  that's  my  third  increase  in  a  year!  It  just  shows  what  special 
training  will  do  for  a  man.  When  I  lett  school  to  go  to  work  I 
couldn't  do  anything  in  particular.  All  1  could  hope  for  was  just  a  job — and 
that's  what  I  got,  at  $60  a  month  for  routine,  unskilled  work.  I  stayed  at  it 
for  three  years,  with  one  small  increase  each  year. 

"Then  one  day  I  woke  up.  I  found  I  wasn't  getting  ahead  simply  because  I  couldn't 
do  any  one  thing  well.  I  decided  right  then  to  put  in  an  hour  after  supper  each  night 
preparing  myself  for  more  important  work.  So  I  wrote  to  Scranton  and  arranged  for  a 
course  tiiat  would  give  me  special  training  for  our  business. 

"Why,  in  a  few  months  I  had  a  whole  new  vision  of  my  work  and  its  possibilities.  You 
see,  I  was  just  beginning  to  really  understand  it.  I  made  some  suggestions  to  the  manager 
and  he  was  immensely  pleased.   Said  he  had 


noticed  how  much  better  I  was  doing  lately 
and  wished  he  had  more  like  me. 

"Just  after  that  an  opening  came  and  he 
gave  me  my  chance — at  an  increase  of  $25  a 
month.  Then  I  really  began  to  grow.  Six 
months  later  I  was  put  in  charge  of  my  de- 
pa  rtment  and  my  salary  went  up  again.'Since 
then  I've  had  two  increases  or  $50  a  month 
and  now  I've  got  another  $50  raise!"
